adequate assurance thereof) to cover any shortage In insurance proceeds, Lessor
shall, at Lessor's commercially reasonable expense, repair such damage as soon
as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue In full force and effect,

consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.
(d) in the event of any Default or Breach by Lessee, Lessor may proceed

this Lease.
13.2 Remedies. If Lessee falls to perform any of Its affirmative duties or

right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such Breach;
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful
means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall immediately
surrender possession to Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to
recover from Lessee: (i) the unpaid Rent which had been. earned at the lime of
termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have
been reasonably avoided; (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 rental loss that the Lessee proves could be
reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for
all the detriment proximately caused by the Lessor's failure to perform its
obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be
likely to result therefrom, including but not limited to the cost of recovering
possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, Including necessary
renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, and that
portion of any leasing commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease

of the amount referred to In provision (iii) of the immediately preceding
sentence shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of
the Federal Reserve Bank of the District within which the Premises are located
at the time of award plus one percent. Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages
caused by Lessee's Breach of this Lease shall not waive Lessor's right to
recover damages under Paragraph 12. If termination of this Lease is obtained
through the provisional remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right
to recover In such proceeding any unpaid Rent and damages as are recoverable
therein, or Lessor may reserve the right to recover all or any part thereof in a
separate suit. if a notice and grace period required under Paragraph 13.1 was
not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit given
to Lessee under the unlawful detainer statute shall also constitute the notice
required by Paragraph 13.1. In such case, the applicable grace period required
by Paragraph 13.1 and the unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently, and
the failure of Lessee to cure the Default within the greater of the two such
grace periods shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and a Breach of this
Lease entitling Lessor to the -remedies provided for In this Lease and/or by
said statute.
19
(b) Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession and recover the
Rent as it becomes due, in which event Lessee may sublet or assign, subject only
to reasonable limitations. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relate, and/or the
appointment of a receiver to protect the Lessor's interests, shall not
constitute a termination of the Lessee's right to possession.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available under the laws or
judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located. The expiration
or termination of this Lease and/or the termination of Lessee's right to
possession shall not relieve Lessee from liability under any Indemnity
provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during the term
hereof or by reason of Lessee's occupancy of the Premises.
13.3 Inducement Recapture. Any agreement for free or abated rent or other
charges, or for the giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or
other bonus, Inducement or consideration for Lessee's entering into this Lease,
all of which concessions are hereinafter referred to as "inducement Provisions",
shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee's full and faithful performance of all
of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, Upon Breach of this Lease
by Lessee, any such Inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted
from this Lease and of no further force or effect, and any rent, other charge,
bonus, Inducement or consideration theretofore abated, given or paid by Lessor
under such an inducement Provision shall be Immediately due and payable by
Lessee to Lessor, notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by Lessee.

operation of this paragraph shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the
provisions of this paragraph unless specifically so stated in writing by Lessor
at the time of such acceptance.
13.4 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee
of Rent xxxx cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the
exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs
include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late
charges which may be imposed upon Lessor by any Lender. Accordingly, If any Rent
shall not be received by Lessor within 5 days after such amount shall be due,
then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a
one-time late charge equal to 10% of each such overdue amount or $100, whichever
Is greater. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of such late
payment. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a
waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor
prevent the exercise of any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected,
for 3 consecutive Installments of Base Rent, then notwithstanding any provision
of this Lease to the contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor's option, become due
and payable quarterly in advance.
13.5 Interest. Any monetary payment due Lessor hereunder, other than late
charges, not received by Lessor, when due as to scheduled payments (such as Base
Rent) or within 30 days following the date on which it was due for non-scheduled
payment, shall bear interest from the date when due, as to scheduled payments,
or the 31st day after It was due as to non-scheduled payments. The interest
("Interest") charged shall be equal to the prime rate reported In the Wall
Street Journal as published closest prior to the date when due plus 4%, but
shall not exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. Interest Is payable in
addition to the potential late charge provided for In Paragraph 13.4.
13.5 Breach by Lessor.
(a) Notice of Breach. Lessor shall not be deemed In breach of this Lease
unless Lessor falls within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required
to be performed by Lessor. For purposes of this Paragraph, a reasonable time
shall In no event be less than 30 days after receipt by Lessor, and any Lender
whose name and address shall have been furnished Lessee in writing for such
purpose, of written notice specifying wherein such obligation of Lessor has not
been performed; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is
such that more than '30 days are reasonably required for its performance, then
Lessor shall not be in breach If performance 1s commenced within such 30 day
period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.
(b) Performance by Lessee on Behalf of Lessor. In the event that neither
Lessor nor Lender cures said breach within 30 days after receipt of said notice,
or if having commenced said cure they do not diligently pursue It to completion,
then Lessee may elect to cure said breach at Lessee's expense and offset from
Rent an amount equal to the greater of one month's Base Rent or the Security
Deposit, and to pay an excess of such expense under protest, reserving Lessee's
right to reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall document the cost of said cure
and supply said documentation to Lessor.
20
14. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the
power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power
(collectively "Condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as to the part taken
as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever
first occurs. If more than 10% of the floor area of the Unit, or more than 25%
of Lessee's Reserved Parking Spaces, Is taken by Condemnation, Lessee may, at
Lessee's option, to be exercised In writing within 10 days after Lessor shall
have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or In the absence of such
notice, within 10 days after the condemning authority shall have taken
possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes
such possession, If Lessee does not terminate this Lease In accordance with the
foregoing, this Lease shall remain In full force and effect as to the portion of
the Premises remaining, except that the Base Rent shall be reduced In proportion
to the reduction In utility of the Premises caused by such Condemnation.
Condemnation awards and/or payments shall be the property of Lessor, whether
such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the
leasehold, the value of the part taken, or for severance damages; provided,
however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any compensation for Lessee's
relocation expenses, loss of business goodwill and/or Trade Fixtures, without
regard to whether or not this Lease Is terminated pursuant to the provisions of
this Paragraph. All Alterations and Utility installations made to the Premises
by Lessee, for purposes of Condemnation only, shall be considered the property
of the Lessee and Lessee shall be entitled to any and all compensation which is

25. Disclosures Regarding The Nature of a Real Estate Agency Relationship.
(a) When entering Into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a
real estate transaction, a Lessor or Lessee should from the outset understand
what type of agency relationship or representation It has with the agent or
agents In the transaction, Lessor and Lessee acknowledge being advised by the
Brokers In this transaction, as follows.
(i) Lessor's Agent. A Lessor's agent under a listing agreement with the
Lessor acts as the agent for the Lessor only. A Lessor's agent or subagent has
the following affirmative obligations: To the Lessor. A fiduciary duty of utmost
care, Integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Lessor. To the Lessee
and the Lessor. (a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care In
performance of the agent's duties. (b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and
good faith. (c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially
affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or
within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not
obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential Information obtained from
the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.
(ii) Lessee's Agent. An agent can agree to act as agent for the Lessee
only, in these situations, the agent is not the Lessor's agent, even if by
agreement the agent may receive compensation for services rendered, either In
full or In part from the Lessor. An agent acting only for a Lessee has the
following affirmative obligations. To the Lessee: A fiduciary duty of utmost
care, Integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Lessee. To the Lessee
and the Lessor. (a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care In
performance of the agent's duties. (b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and
good faith, (c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially
affecting the value or desirability of the property brat are not known to, or
within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not
obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential Information obtained from
the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.
23
(iii) Agent Representing Both Lessor and Lessee. A real estate agent,
either acting directly or through one or more associate licenses, can legally be
the agent of both the Lessor and the Lessee In a transaction, but only with the
knowledge and consent of both the Lessor and the Lessee. in a dual agency
situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both the
Lessor and the Lessee: (a) A fiduciary duty of utmost care, Integrity, honesty
and loyalty in the dealings with either Lessor or the Lessee. (b) Other duties
to the Lessor and the Lessee as stated above In subparagraphs (i) or (ii). In
representing both Lessor and Lessee, the agent may not without the express
permission of the respective Party, disclose to the other Party that the Lessor
will accept rent In an amount less than that Indicated in the listing or that
the Lessee Is willing to pay a higher rent than that offered. The above duties
of the agent In a real estate transaction do not relieve a Lessor or Lessee from
the responsibility to protect their own interests. Lessor and Lessee should
carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express their
understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person qualified to
advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult a competent
professional.
(b) Brokers have no responsibility with respect to any default or breach
hereof by either Party. The liability (including court costs and attorneys'
fees), of any Broker with respect to any breach of duty, error or omission
relating to this Lease shall not exceed the fee received by such Broker pursuant
to this Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on each Broker's
liability shall not be applicable to any gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Broker.
(c) Buyer and Seller agree to identify to Brokers as "Confidential" any
communication or Information given Brokers that is considered by such Party to
be confidential.
26. No Right To Holdover. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the
Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or termination of this Lease.
In the event that Lessee holds over, then the Base Rent shall be Increased to
150% of the Base Rent applicable immediately preceding the expiration or
termination. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as consent by Lessor to
any holding over by Lessee.
27. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at
law or in equity.
28. Covenants and Conditions; Construction of Agreement. All provisions of this
Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions.

Parties only and shall not be considered a part of this Lease. Whenever required

($5,100.00) with respect to the second (2nd) and third (3rd) full months of the
Original Term.
52. DAYS. Any reference to days which appear throughout the Lease shall mean
calendar days.
53. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. This Lease is executed by an Agent, Member,
Partner, Officer and/or Trustee of the Owner, in his capacity as such Agent,
Member, Partner, Officer and/or Trustee. By acceptance of this Lease, Lessee
agrees that, for the payment of any claim or the performance of any obligation
hereunder, recourse shall be had only in the Project, and to no other assets of

54. HOLDING OVER. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Paragraph 26 of the Lease, and except for the 60-Day Extension as provided
below, Lessee has no right to retain possession of the Premises or any part
thereof beyond the expiration or termination of this Lease. If Lessee holds over
after the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination thereof, such
tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal

Lessee to the condition required by the Lease. The provisions of this Paragraph
54 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or
remedies of Lessor provided herein or at law. Lessee acknowledges that if Lessee
holds over without Lessor's consent, such holding over may compromise or
otherwise affect Lessor's ability to enter into new leases with prospective
Lessees regarding the Premises. Therefore, if Lessee fails to surrender the
Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to the
increased rent above and in addition to any other liabilities to Lessor accruing
therefrom, Lessee shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from
all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and liability resulting
from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
any claims made by any succeeding lessee founded upon such failure to surrender
the Premises in the condition required by this Lease, any amounts required to be
paid to any lessee or prospective lessee who was to have occupied the Premises
after said termination or expiration, and any losses suffered by Lessor,
including lost profits to Lessor, resulting from such failure to surrender.

period of sixty (60) days upon the same terms and conditions as this Lease,
including the then monthly Base Rent rate, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Lease. The 60-day option may be exercised by Lessee,
if at all, by delivering written notice thereof ("Exercise Notice") to Lessor
not less than ninety (90) days prior to the Expiration Date. If Lessee fails to
deliver its Exercise Notice to Lessor on or before the date occurring ninety
(90) days prior to the Expiration Date, then Lessee shall be deemed to have
elected to not exercise the 60-day option set forth in this Paragraph and the
holdover provisions of this Paragraph shall apply on the expiration date.
55. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
Lease, Lessee hereby waives the provisions of Paragraph 1950.7 of the California
Civil Code and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in effect, which
provide that Lessor may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably
necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by
Lessee or to clean the Premises, it being agreed that Lessor may, in addition,
claim those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Lessor for any other loss or
damage, foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused by the acts or omissions of Lessee
or any officer, employee, agent, contractor or invitee of Lessee.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Lessee
acknowledges that no portion of the Security Deposit shall be used for the last
month's Base Rent but shall be security for Lessee's faithful and timely
performance of the terms and provisions of the Lease. If Lessee fails to timely
pay the last month's Base Rent on or prior to the first of such month, then
Lessee hereby agrees (i) that such failure shall accelerate the expiration date
of the Lease by one month, (ii) that Lessee shall be deemed to be holding over
under the Lease during what otherwise would have been the last month of the
Lease Term and (iii) that Lessee shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraph
54 above commencing during what otherwise would have been the last month of the
Lease Term and continuing thereafter.
56. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING TO AN AFFILIATE. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Lease, neither (i) an assignment or subletting of all
or a portion of the Premises to (A) an entity which is controlled by, controls
or is under common control with Lessee, or (B) a purchaser of all or
substantially all of the assets of Lessee, nor (ii) a transfer, by operation of
law or otherwise, in connection with the merger, consolidation or other
reorganization of Lessee (collectively, such entities, purchasers, and parties
shall be referred to herein collectively or individually as an "Affiliate"),
shall be subject to the Lessor's consent or the payment of a Transfer Premium
(as such term is defined below); provided, however, no sublease or assignment to
an Affiliate shall release the lessee named herein or any guarantor from any
liability under this Lease. Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor of any such
assignment, purchase, transfer, sublease, action or use. For purposes of this
Lease, "control" shall mean the possession, direct or indirect, or the power to
direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person or
entity, or majority ownership of any sort, whether through the ownership of
voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
57. TRANSFER PREMIUM. If Lessor consents to a sublease or assignment, as a
condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Lessee shall pay
to Lessor twenty-five percent (25%) of any Transfer Premium received by Lessee
from such sublessee or Lessee. "Transfer Premium" shall mean all rent,
additional rent and other consideration payable by such sublessee or Lessee in
excess of the rent payable by Lessee under this Lease, on a per square foot
basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred. "Transfer Premium" shall
also include, but not be limited to, key money and bonus money paid by
transferee to Lessee and any payment in excess of fair market value for services
rendered by Lessee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment or furniture
transferred by Lessee. Lessee shall provide Lessor with a calculation of the
Transfer Premium, together with all applicable back-up reasonably required by
Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may convey, in connection with the
sublease or assignment, but pursuant to a separate legally binding agreement,
Lessee's assets, business and trade fixtures, inventory, equipment or furniture
or other Lessee's property to the extent paid for by Lessee and the purchase
price for such items does not exceed their then fair market value and Lessee
shall be entitled to retain such fair market consideration received in
connection with such conveyance. Upon request from Lessor, Lessee shall provide
Lessor with sufficient access to Lessee's books and records to allow Lessor to
audit and verify deductions made by Lessee.

58. RECAPTURE
58.1 Intention to Transfer Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Lease, in the event Lessee contemplates an assignment or
sublease of all or a portion of the Premises to any person or entity other than
an Affiliate ("Transfer"), Lessee shall give Lessor notice (the "Intention to
Transfer Notice") of such contemplated Transfer (whether or not the contemplated
transferee or the terms of such contemplated Transfer have been determined). The
Intention to Transfer Notice shall specify the portion of and amount of rentable
square feet of the Premises which Lessee intends to Transfer (the "Contemplated
Transfer Space") and the contemplated date of commencement of the Contemplated
Transfer (the "Contemplated Effective Date"), and shall specify that such
Intention to Transfer Notice is delivered to Lessor pursuant to this Paragraph
in order to allow Lessor to elect to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space.
58.2 Lessor's Recapture Option. Thereafter (or in the event of any other
Transfer or Transfers entered into by Lessee as a subterfuge in order to avoid
the terms of this Paragraph), Lessor shall have the option, by giving written
notice to Lessee within ten (10) business days after receipt of any Intention to
Transfer Notice, to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space ("Recapture
Date").
58.3 Effect of Recapture. Such recapture shall cancel and terminate this Lease
with respect to such Contemplated Transfer Space as of the later of (i) the
Contemplated Effective Date or (ii) sixty (60) days after Lessor's delivery of
the recapture notice and Lessee shall be relieved of its obligations under the
terms of this Lease following such recapture; provided, however, in the event
that Lessee and the proposed transferee have executed Transfer documents and
such Transfer documents are delivered to Lessor concurrently with the Intention
to Transfer Notice whereby a proposed transferee has agreed to actually commence
all rental payments prior to the date which is sixty (60) days after Lessor's
delivery of the recapture notice, the date the proposed transferee agreed to
commence all rental payments as specifically set forth in such Transfer
documents (without any contingencies of any kind except for the Lessor's consent
thereto and the failure of Lessor to exercise its recapture right) shall be the
recapture date for purposes of this Lease.
58.4 Partial Recapture. In the event of a recapture by Lessor, if this Lease
shall be cancelled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent
reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of usable square
feet retained by Lessee in proportion to the number of useable square feet
contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue
thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the
parties shall execute written confirmation of the same.
58.5 Effect of Lessor's Election Not to Recapture. If Lessor declines, or fails
to elect in a timely manner, to recapture such Contemplated Transfer Space under
this Paragraph, and Lessee did not provide particulars of a specific Transfer in
its Intention to Transfer Notice, then, subject to the other terms of this
Lease, for a period of six (6) months (the "Six Month Period") commencing on the
last day of such thirty (30) day period, Lessor shall not have any right to
recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space with respect to any Transfer made
during the Six Month Period, provided that any such Transfer is substantially on
the terms set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice, and provided further
that any such Transfer shall be subject to the remaining terms of this Lease. If
such a Transfer is not so consummated within the Six Month Period (or if a
Transfer is so consummated, then upon the expiration of the term of any Transfer
of such Contemplated Transfer Space consummated within such Six Month Period),
Lessee shall again be required to submit a new Intention to Transfer Notice to
Lessor with respect to any contemplated Transfer, as provided above herein.
58.6 Lessee Remains Liable. in all such Transfers, Lessee shall remain primarily
liable under this Lease for the entire Premises and there shall be no release of
any guarantor hereunder.
59. STANDARD FOR CONDUCT AND CONSENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in the Lease, regardless of any reference to the words "sole" or
"absolute" (but except for matters which will have an adverse effect on the (i)
structural integrity of the Building and/or Project, (ii) the Building's and/or
Project's plumbing, heating, life safety, ventilating, air conditioning,
mechanical or electrical systems ('Building Systems"), or (iii) the exterior
appearance of the Building and/or Project (whereupon in each such case Lessor's
duty is to act in good faith and in compliance with the Lease), any time the
consent of Lessor or Lessee is required, such consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. Whenever the Lease grants Lessor or Lessee the
right to take action, exercise discretion, or make allocations or other
determinations, Lessor and Lessee shall act reasonably and in good faith.
31
60. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER: Lessor hereby grants to Lessee a right of first offer
to lease the space in the Building labeled "First Offer Space" on Exhibit "A
attached hereto and made a part hereof ("First Offer Space"); provided, however,
such right shall not apply during the last six (6) months of the Original Term
unless Lessee has previously exercised its right to extend the Lease pursuant to
Paragraph 62 below or during the last six (6) months of any extension of this
Lease. The First Offer Space is now vacant and is being marketed for lease.
(i) Procedure for Offer. Lessor shall notify Lessee ("First Offer Notice") from
time to time when (1) it has received an offer for the First Offer Space and
plans to either accept said offer or issue a counter-offer or (2) plans to
submit within ten (10) days thereafter a proposal to lease the First Offer Space
to a third party. The First Offer Notice shall set forth Lessor's proposed
economic terms and conditions applicable to Lessee's lease of such space
(collectively, the "Economic Terms") and the proposed term of the Lease of the
First Offer Space. The term of the Lease of the First Offer Space set forth in
the First Offer Notice shall be a minimum of three (3) years and a maximum of
five (5) years. Except as may be provided in the First Offer Notice, the First
Offer Space shall be offered to Lessee in its "as-is" condition, without any
representations or warranties.
(ii) Procedure for Acceptance. If Lessee wishes to exercise Lessee's right of
first offer with respect to the space described in the First Offer Notice, then
within two (2) business days after delivery of the First Offer Notice to Lessee,
Lessee shall deliver notice to Lessor of Lessee's exercise of its right of first
offer with respect to the space described in and on the terms set forth in the
First Offer Notice. If Lessee does not exercise its right of first offer within
the two (2) business day period, then Lessor shall be free to lease the space
described in the First Offer Notice to anyone to whom Lessor desires, on any
terms which are not substantially more favorable to said prospective tenant than
the Economic Terms set forth in the First Offer Notice and if Lessor enters into
such a lease with said prospective tenant, Lessee's right of first offer shall
terminate as to the First Offer Space described in the First Offer Notice,
except as provided in (iv) below. The term "substantially more favorable" shall
mean that the net effective rent offered to the prospective tenant is
ninety-five percent (95%) or less of the net effective rent set forth in the
First Offer Notice. The term "net effective rent" shall mean the net rental
amount to be paid to Lessor, taking into account any tenant improvement expenses
or allowances to be incurred by Lessor and any other monetary concessions
granted by Lessor. If Lessor desires to enter into a lease with a prospective
tenant and the Economic Terms being offered to such tenant are ninety-five
percent (95%) or less of the net effective rent which were offered to Lessee,
Lessor shall provide Lessee with written notice of the new Economic Terms upon
which Lessor proposes to lease the First Offer Space to the prospective tenant
("Revised First Offer Notice") and Lessee shall deliver notice to Lessor of
Lessee's exercise of its right of first offer with respect to the entire space
described in and on the terms set forth in the Revised First Offer Notice within
two (2) business days after delivery of the Revised First Offer Notice to
Lessee. If Lessee does not timely exercise its right of first offer within
such two (2) business day period, then Lessor shall be free to lease the space
described in the Revised First Offer Notice to anyone whom Lessor desires.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lessee must elect to
exercise its right of first offer, if at all, with respect to all of the space
offered by Lessor to Lessee at any particular time, and Lessee may not elect to
lease only a portion thereof.
(iii) Lease of First Offer Space. If Lessee timely exercises Lessee's right to
lease the First Offer Space as set forth herein, Lessor and Lessee shall execute
an amendment adding such First Offer Space to this Lease upon the same
non-economic terms and conditions as applicable to the initial Premises, and the
Economic Terms and conditions (including the term as provided in the First Offer
Notice or Revised First Offer Notice, as applicable). Lessee shall commence
payment of rent for the First Offer Space and the Lease Term of the First Offer
Space shall commence upon the date of delivery of such space to Lessee. In the
event the Lessee exercises its right of first offer to lease the First Offer
Space, then Lessor and Lessee agrees that the expiration dates of this Lease
shall be extended to match the expiration of the Lease on the First Offer Space
but Base Rent shall continue to increase by three percent (3%) on each
anniversary of the Commencement Date throughout such extended term.
(iv) Application of Right. In the event the Lessee does not exercise its Right
of First Offer and the subsequent lease of the First Offer Space expires or is
terminated prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the Commencement Date,
Lessee's right of first offer shall again apply following the date such space
becomes available, subject to the terms of the first sentence of this Paragraph
60 above.
32
61. OPTION TO RENEW
(a) Option Right. Lessee shall have one (1) option to extend the Original Term
for the entire Premises then under lease by Lessee for a period of three (3)
years ("Option Term"). The option contained in this Paragraph 62 may be
exercised by Lessee, if at all, by delivering written notice thereof to Lessor,
on or before the date occurring six (6) months, but not prior to the date
occurring nine (9) months, prior to the expiration of the Original Term. Upon
the proper exercise of any such option to extend, the Original Term shall be
extended for a period of three (3) years, upon the terms and conditions of this
Lease, except that the Base Rent during such Option Term. shall be determined
pursuant to Paragraph (b) below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Paragraph, in no event shall the Base Rent payable upon
commencement of the Option Term be less than the Base Rent payable during the
last month of the Original Term prior to the commencement of such Option Term
and Base Rent shall be increased on each anniversary of the Commencement Date
during such Option Term by three percent (3%).
(b) Option Rent. The rent payable by Lessee upon commencement of the Option Term
(the "Option Rent") shall be equal to the "face" or "stated" rental rate (i.e.,
the Base Rent) (including annual three percent (3%) increases), at which
tenants, as of the commencement of the Option Term, are leasing non-sublease,
non-encumbered, non-equity, non-expansion and non-renewal space comparable in
size, location and quality to the Premises (in the configuration and condition
as the Premises are required to be delivered by Lessee to Lessor on the
Expiration Date of the Original Term) for a term of three (3) years, which
comparable space is located in comparable buildings in the general vicinity of
the Building as determined by the arbitrators (the "Comparable Building").
Lessor and Lessee shall attempt to agree upon the Option Rent, using their best
good-faith efforts. If Lessor and Lessee fail to reach agreement within thirty
(30) days following Lessee's exercise of the applicable option to extend (the
"Outside Agreement Date"), then each party shall make a separate determination
of the Option Rent within five (5) days thereafter. Such determinations shall be
placed into sealed envelopes together with an explanation of the reasons why
such determinations were made and submitted concurrently to the other party
within such five-day period. Failure of Lessee or Lessor to make a determination
of the Option Rent within the five-day period shall conclusively be deemed to be
the non-determining party's approval of the Option Rent submitted within the
five-day period by the other party. In the event that both parties make a timely
determination and the Lessor's and the Lessee's determinations of the Option
Rent, as that term is defined above, are within ten percent (10%) of each other,
Lessor's and Lessee's determinations shall be averaged and such resulting amount
shall be the Option Rent for the Option Term. In the event Lessor's and Lessee's
determinations are not within ten percent (10%) of each other, the parties shall
immediately proceed to arbitration in accordance with Paragraphs 62(b)(i)
through 62(b)(vi) below.
(i) Lessor and Lessee shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession
be a certified real estate appraiser or real estate broker who shall have been
active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in
the negotiation of leases for, or appraisal of, commercial industrial/office
properties in the general vicinity of the Building as determined by the
arbitrators. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the
issue area of whether Lessor's or Lessee's submitted Option Rent is closer to
the actual Option Rent, as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account
only the requirements of this Paragraph. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed
within thirty (30) days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date.
(ii) The two arbitrators so appointed shall within ten (10) days of the
appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third
arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove
for qualification of the initial two arbitrators.
(iii) The three arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of
the third arbitrator reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use
Lessor's or Lessee's submitted Option Rent and shall notify Lessor and Lessee
thereof.
(iv) The decision of the majority of the three arbitrators shall be binding upon
Lessor and Lessee.
(v) If either Lessor or Lessee fails to appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30)
days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date, the arbitrator appointed by
one of them shall reach a decision, notify Lessor and Lessee thereof, and such
arbitrator's decision shall be binding upon Lessor and Lessee.
33
(vi) If the two arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator
within the time period provided in Paragraph 62(b)(ii) above, then the parties
shall mutually select the third arbitrator. If Lessor and Lessee are unable to
agree upon the third arbitrator within ten (10) day, then either party may, upon
at least five (5) days prior written notice to the other party, request the
presiding Judge of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, acting in his/her
private and non-judicial capacity, to appoint the third arbitrator. Following
the appointment of the third arbitrator, the panel of arbitrators shall, within
thirty (30) days thereafter, reach a decision as to whether Lessor's or Lessee's
submitted Option Rent shall be used and shall notify Lessor and Lessee thereof.
(vii) The cost of the arbitrators and the arbitration proceeding shall be paid
by Lessor and Lessee equally. In the event the actual Option Rent is not
determined by the commencement of the Option Term, Lessee shall pay the Option
Rent submitted by Lessor until such time as the actual Option Rent is
determined. If the arbitrators decide that Lessee's submitted Option Rent shall
be the Option Rent for the Option Term, Lessee shall receive a credit against
Base Rent next due for any overpayments made by Lessee prior to such
determination.
62. NOTICES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease,
any and all notices, approvals or demands required or permitted under this
Sublease shall be in writing, shall be served either personally, by United
States certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or by reputable
