1. Lease Of Premises:
1.1 Demising Clause. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant
hires from Landlord, the Premises for the entire Term. Said letting and hiring
are upon and subject to the terms, covenants, and conditions set forth in this
Lease, including the Salient Terms and Definitions in Section 1 and the attached
exhibits. Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration for this
Lease to keep and perform each and all of said terms, covenants, and conditions
applicable to Tenant hereunder. This Lease is made upon the condition of such
performance. Landlord reserves to Landlord the areas beneath and above the
Premises and the use thereof together with the right to install, maintain, use,
repair and replace pipes, ducts, conduits, wires, and structural elements
leading through the Premises and serving other parts of the Facility, so long as
such items are concealed by walls, flooring or ceilings. Such reservation shall
in no way affect the maintenance obligations imposed herein.
1.2 Description. As used herein, the following capitalized terms
shall have the indicated meanings;
3
4
(a) The "Facility" shall mean that certain real
property (including the building(s), parking facilities, if any, and other
improvements now located and/or subsequently constructed thereon) owned by
Landlord and described in Exhibit A-1 attached hereto, said real property being
described generally in Subsection 1.1(c)(1) above.
(b) The "Building" shall mean that certain building
in which the Premises are located, said Building being a part of the Facility
and being more particularly described in Subsection 1.1(c)(2) above.
(c) The "Premises" shall mean that certain space
located in the Building and described in Subsection 1. I (c)(3) above and
delineated on Exhibit A-2 attached hereto, which space consists of the
approximate amount of rentable square footage specified in said Subsection
1.1(c)(4).
(d) The Term of the Lease shall be for the period
shown in Item 1.1(d) of the Salient Lease Terms commencing, subject to the
provisions of the "Work Letter" attached hereto as Exhibit "B," on the date the
Premises shall be tendered to Tenant ready for occupancy or such earlier date as
Tenant takes possession or commences use of the Premises for any purpose
including construction (the "Lease Commencement Date"). The Premises shall be
deemed ready for occupancy on the date of issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy, Temporary Certificate of Occupancy or other equivalent approval by
the City of San Mateo of the improvements required by this Lease to be
constructed by Landlord. Landlord agrees to use its best efforts to give Tenant
estimates of the schedule for completion of the improvements and to give Tenant
ten (10) days prior notice of the anticipated date the Premises will be ready
for occupancy. The Target Commencement Date is a date which Landlord has
projected for occupancy, based upon its present estimates of construction
schedules. Subject to "Force Majeure" (as that term is defined below), Tenant
shall have the right to cancel this Lease in the event Landlord has not
delivered the Premises to Tenant within one hundred twenty (120 days after the
Target Commencement Date, as such date may be modified by the provisions of the
"Work Letter" attached hereto as Exhibit "B," which right is exercisable by
Tenant by delivering written notice to Landlord within five (5) business days
following expiration of said one hundred twenty (120) day period. "Force
Majeure" is hereby defined to mean any cause beyond the reasonable control of
Landlord, including but not limited to, strikes, acts of God, war, governmental
laws and regulations or restrictions, including delays in the issuance of
permits, inspections and approvals, shortages of labor or materials, or delays
caused by acts of Tenant as more particularly set forth in paragraph "7." of the
"Work Letter" attached hereto as Exhibit "B." In the event permission is given
to Tenant to enter or occupy all or a portion of the Premises prior to the
Target Commencement Date, such occupancy shall be subject to all of the terms
and conditions of this Lease. When the Lease Commencement Date has been
determined, the parties shall execute an amendment to this Lease in the form of
Exhibit "E" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, stating
the actual Lease Commencement Date and the date for expiration of the Term (the
"Expiration Date") and setting forth an acknowledgment by Tenant that Landlord
has completed all improvements to the Premises in accordance with this Lease and
to the satisfaction of Tenant, subject to the items listed in a punch list, if
any, delivered to Landlord.

2. Uses:
2.1 Permitted Uses. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, the Premises shall be used only for the Permitted Uses specified in
subsection 1.1(g) and for no other use or purpose.
2.2 Restriction on Use. Without limitation to the generality of
the foregoing use restriction, Tenant specifically covenants and agrees that it
shall not (a) do, bring, or keep, or permit to be done, brought, or kept,
anything in or about the Premises that will in any way (1) obstruct or interfere
with the rights of any other tenants or occupants of the Facility or injure or
annoy them, (2) cause a weight load or stress on the floor or any other portion
of the Premises in excess of the weight load or stress that the floor or other
portion of the Premises is designed to bear, (3) increase the existing rate of,
or adversely affect, any fire or other insurance upon the Building or its
contents, or (4) violate any of Landlord's Rules and Regulations; (b) use the
Premises, or allow them to be used, for any residential or disreputable purpose;
(c) commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Premises or the
Facility; or (d) provided such exclusive does not prohibit Tenant from primarily
using the Premises for the Permitted Uses specified in Subsection 1.1(g), Tenant
shall not conduct or permit to be conducted on or from the Premises activities
that violate any exclusive use right presently or subsequently granted by
Landlord to another tenant. Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost, shall comply with all
laws, statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, licenses, permits,
orders, decrees, judgments, approvals, plans, authorizations, and similar items
of any local, state, or federal governmental or quasi-governmental authority
(collectively, "Laws," or individually, a "Law") affecting the Premises, and
with the requirements of any Board of Fire Underwriters or other similar body
now or hereafter instituted, and shall also comply with any order, directive or
certificate of occupancy, issued pursuant to any Laws, that affects the
condition, use, or occupancy of the Premises, including, but not limited to, any
requirements of structural changes related to or affected by Tenant's acts or
use of the Premises.
2.3 Compliance by Other Tenants. Upon Landlord's receipt of
Tenant's written notice that another tenant or occupant of the Facility is
engaging in conduct prohibited by this Section, to the material detriment of
Tenant, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with
Landlord's rights under the lease of such other tenant or occupant, to cause
such party to desist from such prohibited conduct. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any such conduct on the
part of other tenants or occupants of the Building.
2.4 Compliance by Landlord. Landlord represents and warrants to
Tenant that as of the Commencement Date, Tenant is or will be able to use the
Premises for general office uses and that the Premises and the Building are in
compliance with all laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"),
regulating Tenant's intended use of the Premises.
3. Condition Of The Premises. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
Exhibit B attached hereto, it is specifically understood and agreed that (a)
Landlord has no obligation and has made no promises to alter, remodel, improve,
repair, decorate, or paint the Premises or any part thereof, (b) Landlord has
made no representations to Tenant respecting the condition of the Premises or
the Building or the suitability or legality of the Premises for the uses
contemplated
5
6
by this Lease, and (c) by accepting possession of the Premises after substantial
completion of the work (if any) to be performed by Landlord pursuant to such
Exhibit B, Tenant acknowledges that the Premises are in good condition, and with
such acceptance of possession Tenant waives any claim against Landlord or
Landlord's agents or contractors for the condition or functioning of any
improvements within or about the Premises.
4. Rent.
4.1 Monthly Rent. From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant
shall pay to the Landlord, for each calendar month of the Term, the Monthly Rent
set forth in Subsection 1.1(e)(1), as the same may be adjusted from time to time
as provided in Section 4.2. Monthly Rent shall be due and payable to Landlord in
lawful money of the United States, in advance, on the first (1st) day of each
calendar month of the Term, without abatement, deduction, claim or offset, and
without prior notice, invoice or demand, at Landlord's address set forth in
Subsection 1.1.(a) or at such place as Landlord may from time to time designate.
Tenant's payment of Monthly Rent for the first (1st) month of the Term shall be
delivered to Landlord concurrently with Tenant's execution of this Lease.
4.1.1 Adjustments. Monthly Rent shall be adjusted from
time to time as provided in Exhibit F.
4.2 In the event that Landlord is unable to deliver to Tenant the
notice of the increased Minimum Monthly Rent at least five (5) business days
prior to the Adjustment Date, Tenant shall commence to pay the increased Minimum
Monthly Rent on the first day of the month following the receipt of such notice,
which notice must be sent at least five (5) business days prior to the first day
of such month ("Payment Date"), and shall also pay, together with the first
payment of the increased Minimum Monthly Rent, an amount determined by
multiplying the amount of the increase in Minimum Monthly Rent times the number
of months which have elapsed between the Adjustment Date and the Payment Date.
Should the Bureau discontinue the publication of the Index, or publish the same
less frequently, or alter the same in some other manner, Landlord, in its
discretion, shall adopt a substitute index or procedure that reasonably reflects
and monitors consumer prices.
4.3 Definition of "Rent"; Prorations. Any and all payments of
Minimum Monthly Rent and any and all taxes, assessments, fees, charges, costs,
expenses, insurance obligations, late charges, Common Area Costs, and all other
payments, disbursements, or reimbursements that are attributable to, payable by
or the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease shall constitute "rent" for all
purposes of this Lease and any applicable unlawful detainer statute. Any rent
payable to Landlord by Tenant for any fractional month shall be prorated based
upon the actual number of days in such calendar month.
4.4 Place and Manner of Payment. All rent shall be paid by Tenant
to Landlord in lawful money of the United States of America at Landlord's
address set forth in Subsection 1.1(a) above, or to such other person or at such
other place as Landlord may from time to time designate. All payments of rent
shall be payable without prior notice or demand and shall be paid without
deduction, setoff or counterclaim for any reason whatsoever.
6

4.5 Late Charges. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of
rent will cause Landlord to incur damages, the exact amount of which would be
impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain. Such damages may include,
without limitation, processing, accounting, and other administrative costs, loss
of use of the overdue funds, and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by
the terms of any encumbrance and note secured by any encumbrance covering the
Premises. Landlord and Tenant agree that if Landlord does not receive a payment
of rent within ten (10) days after such payment becomes due, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue
rent. If Landlord does not receive a payment of rent within thirty (30) days
after such payment becomes due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord additional late
charges computed at the interest rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or, if
lower, the maximum interest rate allowed by law. Such interest shall begin to
accrue as of such 30th day after such rent payment became due. The parties agree
that such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that
Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of any late
charge by Landlord shall not cure or waive Tenant's default, nor prevent
Landlord from exercising, before or after such acceptance, any of the rights and
remedies for a default provided by this Lease or at law. Tenant shall be liable
for late charges regardless of whether Tenant's failure to pay the rent when due
constitutes an Event of Default under this Lease.
4.6 Time of Payment; Disputed Amounts. Tenant agrees to pay all
rent required under this Lease within the applicable time limits set forth in
this Lease. If no such time period is elsewhere specified herein for payment of
a particular amount, then such amount shall be paid within ten (10) days after
Landlord's delivery of an invoice or demand therefor. If Tenant receives from
Landlord an invoice or statement, sent by Landlord in good faith, and Tenant in
good faith disputes whether all or any part of such rent is due and owing,
Tenant shall nevertheless pay to Landlord the amount of the rent indicated on
the invoice or statement until such time as the dispute is resolved by mutual
agreement of the parties or by final judgment from a court of competent
jurisdiction (or when arbitration is permitted or required, by a final award
from an arbitrator) relieving or mitigating Tenant's obligation to pay such
rent. Failure by Tenant to pay any disputed amounts when due (as if there were
no dispute) shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease, and
Landlord's rights shall be as provided for in Section 22 (Defaults and
Remedies). In such instance where Tenant disputes its obligations to pay all or
part of the rent indicated on such invoice or statement, Tenant shall,
concurrently with the payment of such rent, provide Landlord with a written
notice specifying in detail why Tenant is not required to pay all or part of
such rent. Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to contest any past
payment of rent unless it has filed a lawsuit against Landlord (or when
arbitration is permitted or required, filed for arbitration) and has served
Landlord with notice of such filing within one (1) year after such payment.
4.7 Partial Payments. Any partial payment of rents outstanding
hereunder shall be allocated to such outstanding rental charges as Landlord may
elect. In the absence of a contrary election made by Landlord, payments by
Tenant shall be applied against the then outstanding rental charges that first
became due.

5. Payment Of Taxes, Assessments, And Operating Expenses.
5.1 Tenant's Percentage Share. In addition to paying the Minimum
Monthly Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the percentage set forth in
Subsection 1.1(h) ("Tenant's Percentage Share") of the amounts set forth below
in Subsections 5.2 and 5.3. Tenant's Percentage Share has been calculated by
dividing the number of square feet of rentable area of the Premises by the
number of square feet of rentable area in the Building, based upon the best
information available to Landlord as of the execution of this Lease. Said
Tenant's Percentage Share shall not be subject to correction or recalculation,
except in the event the rentable area of the Building is changed due to events
of damage, destruction, demolition, or construction. Tenant hereby approves and
accepts Landlord's calculations of the Tenant's Percentage Share as set forth in
Subsection 1.1(h).
5.2 Taxes and Assessments.
5.2.1 Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to
Tenant's Percentage Share of any increase in Taxes above the amount of Taxes
levied or assessed for the Base Tax Year set forth in Subsection 1.1(i), either
by way of increase in the rate or in the assessed valuation of the Real Property
(or any portion thereof) or by imposition of any such charges by ordinance or
statute of any authority having jurisdiction. As used in this Section 5, the
term "Taxes" shall mean all taxes, excises, penalties (unless due solely to
Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct), fees (including, without
limitation, all license, permit and inspection fees), and other charges (but
excluding Assessments, as defined in Subsection 5.2.2 below) assessed, levied,
charged, confirmed, or imposed by any federal, state, or local government, any
political subdivision, public corporation, district, or other political or
public entity or public authority (a) on the Real Property (or any portion
thereof), (b) on Landlord with respect to the Real Property (or any portion
thereof), (c) on the act of leasing or entering into leases of space in the Real
Property, (d) on or measured by the rent payable under leases of space, or in
connection with the business of leasing space, in the Real Property, or (e) on
personal property of Landlord used in the operation of the Real Property (or any
portion thereof). Such Taxes may be general or specific, ordinary or
extraordinary, or of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether or not now customary
or within the contemplation of the parties to this Lease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, documentary transfer taxes, gift, inheritance, succession, and estate
taxes, and federal and state income taxes computed on Landlord's income shall
not be included as Taxes, nor shall the computation of increases in Taxes for
which Tenant shall pay Tenant's Percentage Share include any amounts paid by
Tenant under Subsections 5.2.3 and 5.2.4 or any amounts separately billed to a
particular tenant of the Real Property with respect to similar matters (other
than as its percentage share of increases in Taxes or Assessments).
5.2.2 Tenant shall also pay to Landlord an amount equal to
Tenant's Percentage Share of any increase in Assessments above the amount of
Assessments levied or assessed against the Real Property for the Base Tax Year.
As used in this Section 5, the term "Assessments" shall mean all assessments,
transit charges, housing charges, and levies assessed, charged, levied,
confirmed, or imposed by any federal, state, or local government, any political
subdivision, public corporation, district, or other political or public entity
or public authority on or with respect to any of the items described in clauses
(a) through (e) of Subsection 5.2.1 or with respect to the use, occupancy,
management, maintenance, alteration, repair, or operation of
8
9
the Real Property (or any portion thereof) or any services or utilities
furnished or consumed in connection therewith.
5.2.3 In addition to paying Tenant's Percentage Share of
increases in the Taxes and Assessments described in Subsections 5.2.1 and 5.2.2,
Tenant shall pay one hundred per cent (100%) of the following, as reasonably
determined by Landlord: any increase in Taxes or Assessments caused by the
improvements described in Exhibit B or any other improvements or installations
at any time made to the Premises by or at the instance of Tenant. The total
amounts due under this Subsection 5.2.3 shall be paid to Landlord on or before
the date full payment of such Taxes or Assessments shall become due, or if
payable in installments, the date payment of the first installment of such Taxes
or Assessments shall become due. In the event such Taxes or Assessments are paid
by Landlord, Tenant forthwith upon demand therefor shall reimburse Landlord for
all amounts of such Taxes or Assessments chargeable against Tenant pursuant to
this Subsection 5.2.3.
5.2.4 Tenant shall pay, before delinquency, any and all
levied or assessed taxes that become payable during or with respect to the Term
upon Tenant's equipment, furnishings, fixtures, and other personal property
located in the Premises, including carpeting installed by or at the instance of
Tenant, even though said carpeting has become a part of the Premises. In the
event said taxes are paid by Landlord, Tenant forthwith upon demand therefor
shall reimburse Landlord for all such taxes paid by Landlord.
5.2.5 Any Taxes or Assessments that may be paid over more
than a one-year period shall be apportioned evenly over the maximum period of
time permitted by Law and only the portion thereof attributable to a given year
shall be included in Taxes or Assessments for that year. In the event that
Landlord contests the amount of any Taxes or Assessments and receives a refund
or credit as a result thereof, then Landlord shall pay Tenant its pro rata share
of such refund to the extent that the refund relates to Taxes or Assessments
that have been paid by Tenant. Upon Tenant's request, Landlord shall provide a
copy of all applicable tax bills.
5.3 Operating Expense Increases.
5.3.1 Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to
Tenant's Percentage Share of any increase in Operating Expenses above the
Operating Expenses for the Base Expense Year. As used in this Section 5, the
term "Operating Expenses" shall mean all costs and expenses paid or incurred by
Landlord in connection with the operation, management, or maintenance of the
Real Property (which costs shall be accounted for under generally accepted
accounting principles and shall be amortized when and as required thereunder),
excluding, however, the items described in Subsection 5.3.2 below, which items
shall not be included in Operating Expenses for purposes of this Lease. By way
of illustration but not limitation, Operating Expenses shall include (subject to
the specific exclusions described in Subsection 5.3.2 below) all (a) costs for
heating, cooling, ventilation, fuel, and utilities; (b) costs and expenses for
maintenance, ordinary and extraordinary repairs and replacements, testing, and
operation of building systems and components; (c) costs and expenses for
security, landscaping, refuse disposal, janitorial services, labor, supplies,
materials, equipment, and tools, including any sales, use, or excise taxes
thereon; (d) reasonable management fees and other costs of managing the Real
Property, whether managed by Landlord or an independent contractor; (e) the
wages,
9
10
salaries, bonuses, employee benefits and payroll burden of all Landlord's (or
its agents') on-site employees engaged in the operation, maintenance,
management, or security of the Real Property, including employers' payroll,
social security, workers' compensation, unemployment, and similar taxes with
respect to such employees; (f) all insurance premiums paid or incurred by
Landlord with respect to the Real Property and all amounts paid in connection
with claims or losses that are less than the amount of such deductibles or
self-insured retentions as Landlord may have deemed reasonable for its insurance
policies; (g) all costs and expenses of contesting by appropriate proceeding the
amount or validity of any Taxes or Assessments; (h) the cost of any capital
improvements or capital assets constructed, made, purchased, or installed in
order to comply with the requirements of any governmental or quasi-governmental
law or authority, or constructed, made, purchased, or installed in order to
conserve energy or reduce other Operating Expenses, amortized over the useful
life of such capital improvements or capital assets, as reasonably determined by
Landlord, together with such interest and finance charges as Landlord may pay in
financing such costs or (if such financing is not obtained) interest on the
unamortized balance of such costs accruing at an annual interest rate equal to
the interest rate from time to time publicly announced by the San Francisco Main
office of Bank of America, NT&SA (or any successor bank thereto), as its prime
annual interest rate (or "reference rate") charged to substantial commercial
borrowers for 90-day loans; (i) the fair market rental value of the building
office and other space in the building occupied by Landlord or its manager in
connection with the operation or management of the Real Property; and (j) and
all other costs and expenses that under generally accepted accounting principles
and practices would clearly be included in operating expenses.
5.3.2 The following costs and expenses shall be excluded
from the definition of "Operating Expenses" for purposes of this Lease: (a) any
and all Taxes and Assessments, as defined in Subsections 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 above;
(b) any costs or expenses separately billed to a particular tenant of the Real
Property and not billed as such tenant's percentage share of costs or expenses
of that type (provided, however, Tenant's Percentage Share, as applied to such
cost categories, shall be recomputed to exclude the rentable area of premises of
tenants being so billed separately); (c) costs for tenant improvements and
leasing commissions; (d) depreciation on the Building and the equipment therein;
(e) costs of capital improvements, other than such as are specifically included
as Operating Expenses in Subsection 5.3.1 above; (f) any costs recovered from
condemnation or insurance proceeds; (g) depreciation, amortization, and interest
on and capital retirement of debt, except to the extent such costs shall have
been elsewhere expressly included in the definition of Operating Expenses; (h)
attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements and other expenses incurred in
connection with negotiations or disputes with tenants, other occupants, or
prospective tenants or other occupants of the Building; (i) costs of Landlord's
general administration, other than as specifically set forth in Subsection
5.3.1; (j) costs incurred in advertising and promotional activities for
marketing of the Building to persons other than the then occupants of the
Building; (k) when and if any service (such as janitorial service) that is
normally provided by Landlord to tenants of the Building is not provided by
Landlord to Tenant in the Premises pursuant to agreement with Tenant under the
specific terms of this Lease, then in determining Operating Expenses for Tenant,
the cost of that service (except as it relates to common areas) shall be
excluded; and (1) unless specifically included under Subsection 5.3.1 above, any
other expense that under generally accepted accounting principles and practice
would clearly be excluded from operating expenses.
10
11
5.3.3 If at any time less than ninety-five percent (95%)
of the rentable area of the Building is occupied, the Operating Expenses shall
be reasonably adjusted by Landlord to approximate such operating and maintenance
costs as would have been incurred if the Building had been at least ninety-five
percent (95%) occupied.
5.4 Allocations of Certain Costs. If any Taxes, Assessments, or
Operating Expenses paid in one year relate to more than one calendar year,
Landlord shall allocate such Taxes, Assessments, or Operating Expenses among the
appropriate calendar years. If the Term ends other than on December 31, Tenant's
obligations to pay Tenant's Percentage Share of estimated and actual amounts of
increases in Taxes, Assessments, and Operating Expenses for such final calendar
year shall be prorated to reflect the portion of such year included in the Term.
Such proration shall be made by multiplying the total estimated or actual (as
the case may be) Taxes, Assessments, and Operating Expenses for such calendar
year by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days of the
Term during such calendar year, and the denominator of which shall be 365.
Landlord may, but shall not be required to, calculate prorations with regard to
when during a calendar year particular items of Taxes, Assessments, and
Operating Expenses were incurred. If any Taxes, Assessments, or Operating
Expenses are not separately assessed against or separately charged to the Real
Property, but are (a) jointly assessed against or changes to the Real Property
and other land or improvements in the Facility, or (b) assessed against or
charged to land or improvements in the Facility that are used as common areas
for the benefit of the Building and one or more other buildings in the Facility,
an equitable portion, as reasonably determined by Landlord, of such Taxes,
Assessments, or Operating Expenses shall be allocated to the Real Property for
purposes of this Section 5.
5.5 Estimated Payments. Landlord shall notify Tenant of the
estimated monthly amount of Tenant's Percentage Share of increases in Taxes,
Assessments, or Operating Expenses and Tenant shall pay Landlord such estimated
amount at the same time as and together with Tenant's Minimum Monthly Rent.
Landlord may from time to time, by notice to Tenant, change such estimated
monthly or quarterly amounts based upon Landlord's actual or projected Taxes,
Assessments, or Operating Expenses.
5.6 Statement of Expenses. Landlord shall, after December 31 of
each year, determine and furnish to Tenant a notice containing a computation of
the charge or credit to Tenant for any difference between (a) Tenant's allocable
share of the actual Taxes, Assessments, and Operating Expenses and (b) the
estimated portion(s) thereof paid by Tenant for the preceding calendar year, and
the amount of any underpayment shall be paid by Tenant within ten (10) days
after delivery of said notice. Such notice shall contain a line item detail
setting forth by categories the actual Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord
for the previous year. In the event of overpayment by Tenant, Landlord shall
credit such overpayment in full against Tenant's payment of rent next coming due
hereunder. Upon expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, if Tenant was
not in material default hereunder immediately prior thereto, Landlord shall
refund to Tenant any overpayment.
5.7 Non-Waiver of Rights. Without limitation to the provisions of
Section 31 (Non-Waiver), no failure or determination of Landlord in any one year
to include or exclude certain items in its computation of Taxes, Assessments, or
Operating Expenses or to invoice Tenant for the full amount of Tenant's
allocable share of Taxes Assessments, or Operating
11
12
Expenses shall be construed as depriving Landlord of the right to include such
items as Taxes, Assessments, or Operating Expenses or to invoice Tenant for the
full amount of Tenant's allocable share thereof in any subsequent year in strict
accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.
5.8 Right to Audit.
5.8.1 The good-faith determination of the accountant then
serving Landlord shall be conclusive and determinative of what constitutes a
Tax, Assessment, or Operating Expense each year. During the 30-day period
commencing upon Tenant's receipt of any statement provided by Landlord under
Subsection 5.6 above, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's expense and upon
not less than forty-eight (48) hours' prior notice to Landlord, to inspect at
reasonable times Landlord's books and records for the Facility for the calendar
year covered by such statement, for purposes of verifying Landlord's calculation
of Taxes, Assessments, and Operating Expenses. Such inspection may only be done
by an accounting firm which is generally considered to be one of the ten (10)
largest accounting firms headquartered in the United States. If Tenant shall not
have availed itself of such inspection, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted
as final and determinative the amounts shown on the statement of expenses. If
Tenant shall have availed itself of its right to inspect the books and records,
and then disputes the accuracy of the information set forth in Landlord's books
and records with respect to the statement of expenses, Tenant shall nevertheless
continue to pay the amounts as required by the provisions of this Section 5;
provided however, that no later than six (6) months after receipt of the
statement of expenses, Tenant must (or its right to contest such charges shall
be deemed waived) institute arbitration proceedings against Landlord, in an
arbitration proceeding governed by the rules of the American Arbitration
Association, to collect and recover any overpayment made by Tenant resulting
from errors in the books and records of Landlord; and provided further, that
Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after filing of the complaint, serve Landlord
with a copy of the complaint filed in any such proceeding. Tenant shall be
precluded from contesting Taxes, Assessments, or Operating Expenses, or
Landlord's computations of the amounts payable by Landlord or Tenant pursuant to
this Section 5, unless an arbitration complaint is filed and served within such
six (6) month period. Should the arbitrator find errors in excess of ten percent
(10%) of the statement of expenses, then Landlord shall be responsible for all
reasonable fees incurred by Tenant with respect to the arbitration proceeding.
Should the arbitrator find errors of less than four percent (4%) of the
statement, then Tenant shall be responsible for all the reasonable fees incurred
by Landlord with respect to the arbitration proceeding. Should the arbitrator
find errors of between four percent (4%) and ten percent (10%) of the statement,
then each party shall be responsible for all fees incurred by it with respect to
the arbitration proceeding.
5.8.2 If Tenant institutes such arbitration procedures,
then the arbitrator shall determine whether or not Tenant was over-charged for
Tenant's Percentage Share of increases in Taxes, Assessments, or Operating
Expenses or undercharged for its share of increases. At the conclusion of the
arbitration, the arbitrator shall issue a ruling as to what the Taxes,
Assessments, and Operating Expenses, and Tenants Percentage Share of increases
therein, should have been had Landlord strictly complied with the provisions of
this Lease. If Landlord overcharged Tenant for increases in Taxes, Assessments,
or Operating Expenses, the amount of the overcharge shall be returned to Tenant
within thirty (30) days following the
12
13
conclusion of the arbitration. If the arbitrator determines that Tenant was
undercharged for increases in Taxes, Assessments, or Operating Expenses, Tenant
shall pay the amount of such undercharge to Landlord within thirty (30) days
following the issuance of the arbitration ruling.
6. Security.
6.1 Deposit. Concurrently with the execution of this Lease,
Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the amount specified in Subsection 1.1(f)
(the "Deposit"), which shall be held by Landlord as security for the full and
faithful performance of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease. The
Deposit is not an advance Minimum Monthly Rent deposit, an advance payment of
any other kind, or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of Tenant's default.
If Tenant fails to comply with the full and timely performance of any or all of
Tenant's covenants and obligations set forth in this Lease, then Landlord may
(but shall not be required to), from time to time, without waiving any other
remedy available to Landlord use the Deposit, or any portion of it, to the
extent necessary to cure or remedy such failure or to compensate Landlord for
all damages sustained by Landlord resulting from Tenant's failure to comply
fully and timely with its obligations pursuant to this Lease. No acceptance of
such payment shall be construed as an admission that Tenant has performed all of
its obligations hereunder. If Landlord elects to make such application of all or
any portion of the Deposit, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the nature and
amount thereof and Tenant shall within ten (10) days thereafter deposit with
Landlord an amount sufficient to increase the Deposit to an amount equal to one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the amount thereof set forth in Subsection 1.1(f),
as the same may have been increased by prior applications of this Subsection
6.1, and any Tenant failure to immediately do so shall constitute an Event of
Default under this Lease. If Tenant is in compliance with this Lease's covenants
and obligations as of the sixtieth (60th) day after the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease and Tenant's vacating of the Premises, Landlord shall
thereupon, return to Tenant the unused portion of the Deposit and any advance
rent paid by Tenant. Each time the Minimum Monthly Rent shall increase pursuant
to the provisions of this Lease, within five (5) business days thereafter,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional Deposit an amount equal to the
difference between the new Minimum Monthly Rent and the Minimum Monthly Rent in
effect immediately prior to such increase. Landlord's obligations with respect
to the Deposit are those of a debtor and not a trustee. Landlord shall not be
required to maintain the Deposit separate and apart from Landlord's general or
other funds, and Landlord may commingle the Deposit with any of Landlord's
general or other funds. Tenant shall not at any time be entitled to interest on
the Deposit.
6.2 No Bar or Defense to Other Remedies. No security or guaranty
that may now or hereafter be furnished to Landlord for the payment of the rent
herein reserved or for performance by Tenant of the other covenants or
conditions of this Lease shall in any way be a bar or defense to any action in
unlawful detainer, or for the recovery of the Premises, or to any action that
Landlord may at any time commence for a breach of any of the covenants or
conditions of this Lease.
7. Hazardous Substances.
7.1 Definitions. As used herein, "Hazardous Substance" shall mean
any substance, material, or waste that is or becomes regulated by any federal,
state, or local
13
14
governmental authority because of its toxicity, infectiousness, radioactivity,
explosiveness, ignitability, corrosiveness, or reactivity; and "Environmental
Requirements" shall mean all Laws relating to industrial hygiene, protection of
human health, warnings, hazard communication, employee rights-to-know,
environmental protection, or any Hazardous Substance.
7.2 Consent Required for Hazardous Substances. Tenant shall not
cause or permit any Hazardous Substance to be brought upon, generated, produced,
kept or used in or about the Facility by Tenant or any Tenant Parties unless (a)
such Hazardous Substance is necessary for Tenant's business (and such business
is a Permitted Use) and (b) Tenant first obtains the consent of Landlord if such
Hazardous Substance is other than (i) an "Article" (as defined in 29 C.F.R.
Section 1910.1200) that is free of asbestos (whether friable or nonfriable) and
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) or (ii) a consumer product that is used on the
Premises in quantities that would not require any notification or reporting
under any Environmental Requirement, or any warnings to any persons located
anywhere outside the Premises, if the entire quantities were released into the
environment. Any request by Tenant for such consent shall be in writing and
shall demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord that such Hazardous
Substance will be stored, used, and disposed of in a manner that complies with
all Environmental Regulations applicable to such Hazardous Substance. Such
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but Landlord shall in no case be
obligated to consent to the presence of any Hazardous Substance that will
increase the likelihood or magnitude of Landlord's liability, or to any
treatment, storage, or disposal upon the Premises or the Facility of any
Hazardous Substance whose treatment, storage, or disposal requires a permit or
variance under applicable Environmental Requirements. In no event shall Landlord
ever be obligated to execute any application for any such permit or variance.
7.3 Notices. Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord copies of
any reports made to any environmental agency arising out of or relating to any
Hazardous Substances in, on, or from the Premises and copies of all hazardous
waste manifests reflecting the legal and proper disposal of all hazardous wastes
removed by Tenant from the Facility. If at any time Tenant shall become aware,
or have reasonable cause to believe that any Hazardous Substances, other than
those already known by Landlord or permitted under this Lease, have come to be
located in or about the Premises, or that any known Hazardous Substances have
been, are being, or threaten to be released into the environment, Tenant shall,
immediately upon discovering same, give notice of that condition to Landlord.
7.4 Compliance with Environmental Requirements. Without
limitation to the generality of Subsection 2.2 (Restriction on Use), Tenant
shall at its own expense fully comply with all Environmental Requirements,
prudent industry practices, and Landlord's Rules and Regulations regarding use,
handling, disturbance, management, or disposal of Hazardous Substances, except
as otherwise provided in Subsection 7.5 below. Except as discharged into the
sanitary sewer in strict accordance and conformity with all applicable
Environmental Requirements, Tenant shall cause any and all Hazardous Substances
removed from the Premises (or from any other portion of the Facility, if their
removal is at the instance or direction of Tenant) to be removed and transported
solely by duly licensed haulers to duly licensed facilities for final disposal
of such materials and wastes. Upon expiration or earlier termination of the
Term, Tenant shall cause to be removed from the Premises and the Facility all
Hazardous Substances that Tenant or any Tenant Parties caused or permitted to be
located there. If the
14
15
presence of Hazardous Substances brought onto the Facility by any of such
persons results in contamination of any portion of the Facility, Tenant shall be
solely responsible, at its sole expense, for taking any and all necessary steps
to return the affected portion of the Facility to its condition prior to such
contamination, as reasonably determined by Landlord; provided, however, that
Tenant shall not take any remedial action (except in emergencies) in response to
the presence of, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree, or
other compromise in respect to any claims relating to, any Hazardous Substance
in any way connected with the Facility, without first notifying Landlord of
Tenant's intention to do so and affording Landlord ample opportunity to appear,
intervene, or otherwise appropriately assert and protect Landlord's interest
with respect thereto; and further provided, that Landlord shall have the right
(but not the obligation) to perform any such remediation on Tenant's behalf, in
which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all of Landlord's reasonable
costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.
7.5 Landlord's Obligation. Subject to Landlord's right to
reimbursement of certain costs or expenses under other provisions of this Lease,
Landlord. agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all
applicable Environmental Requirements regarding the use, management, or disposal
of Hazardous Substances (a) that were existing on the Premises as of the date
Tenant originally took occupancy thereof under a prior lease or (b) that were
otherwise brought upon or kept or used in or about the Facility by Landlord, its
agents, employees, or contractors.
8. No Light, Air Or View Easement. No diminution or shutting off of
light, air, or view by any structure that may be erected on the lands of the
Facility or other nearby lands shall in any way affect this Lease, xxxxx any
rent hereunder, or otherwise impose any liability on Landlord.
9. Alterations.
9.1 Tenant's Right to Make Alterations. Tenant shall not make or
suffer to be made any alterations, additions, improvements, or utility
installations (collectively, "Alterations") to the Premises or any part thereof
of an amount greater than $2,500.00 without the prior consent of Landlord which
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant specifically acknowledges that it
shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold approval of any proposed
contractor or subcontractor of Tenant on the grounds that Landlord believes that
the performance of work in the Building by such contractor or subcontractor
could result in labor disputes with Landlord's own contractors or Building
employees of Landlord or Landlord's contractors. Landlord may, at any time
during the Term, require Tenant to remove any or all Alterations made without
Landlord's consent or otherwise made in material violation of any of the
provisions of this Section 9. In no event shall Landlord be required to consent
to any Alterations that would not be normal for the Permitted Uses, that might
adversely affect the utility or value of the Premises or the Building for future
tenants, that would alter the exterior appearance of the Building, that would be
of a structural nature, that could adversely affect the plumbing, mechanical, or
electrical systems servicing the Facility, that would be excessively expensive
to remove, or that would otherwise be prohibited under this Lease. All permitted
Alterations shall be made in conformity with the requirements of Subsection 9.2
below. Once
15
16
any such Alterations have been completed, whether prior to or during the Term of
this Lease, they shall thereafter be included in the designation of the Tenant
Improvements.
9.2 Installation of Alterations. Any Alterations installed by
Tenant during the Term shall be done in strict compliance with all of the
following requirements:
9.2.1 No such work shall proceed without Landlord's prior
written approval of (i) Tenant's contractor(s); (ii) certificates of insurance
from a company or companies approved by Landlord, furnished to Landlord by
Tenant's contractor, for combined single limit bodily injury and property damage
insurance covering comprehensive general liability and automobile liability, in
an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and
endorsed to show Landlord, Landlord's property manager, and each general partner
of Landlord (if Landlord is a partnership) as additional insureds, and for
workers' compensation as required by law, endorsed to show a waiver of
subrogation by the insurer to any claims Tenant's contractor may have against
Landlord (provided, however, nothing in this Subsection 9.2.1 shall release
Tenant of its other insurance obligations hereunder); and (iii) detailed plans
and specifications for such work. Any changes in, deviations from, modifications
of, or amendments to the approved plans and specifications shall also require
Landlord's prior written approval.
9.2.2 Tenant shall cause its contractor(s) to coordinate
with Landlord's building management all construction and installation activities
covered by this Subsection 9.2. All such work shall be done in a skillful and
first class workmanlike manner, consistent with the best practices and standards
of the construction industry, and shall be pursued diligently and continuously
until completed, always in conformity with the approved plans and
specifications. All materials, equipment, and articles incorporated into the
Alterations shall be new, and of recent manufacture, and of the most suitable
grade for the purpose intended.
9.2.3 No Alterations shall be commenced without Tenant
first having obtained a valid building permit and/or all other permits or
licenses when and where required, copies of which shall be furnished to Landlord
before the work is commenced. Any work not acceptable to any governmental
authority or agency having or exercising jurisdiction over such work, or not
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, shall be promptly replaced and corrected at
Tenant's expense. Landlord's approval or consent to any such work shall not
impose any liability upon Landlord. No work shall commence until and unless
Landlord has received at least ten (10) days' notice that such work is to
commence.
9.2.4 Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for any
reasonable expense incurred by Landlord in reviewing and approving the plans and
specifications (and any modifications thereto) for such work or the work itself.
9.2.5 If the estimated cost of the Alterations exceeds
$15,000.00, then (a) Tenant shall obtain any bonds required by Landlord pursuant
to Section 12 below and (b) during all such times as the work is being
performed, Tenant shall carry, or cause its approved contractors to carry,
builder's risk completed value insurance, in an amount approved by Landlord.
16
17
9.2.6 Prior to undertaking any physical work in or around
the Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing, of the exact nature and
location of the proposed work and shall promptly supply such additional
information regarding the proposed work as Landlord shall request. After receipt
of Tenant's notice, Landlord may, to the extent appropriate, supply Tenant with
the Building regulations and procedures for working in areas where there is a
risk of coming into contact with materials or building systems that, if not
properly handled, could cause health or safety risks or that could damage such
systems and/or the Building. Tenant shall cause its contractors, at Tenant's
sole cost and expense, strictly to comply with all such Building regulations and
procedures established by Landlord and with all applicable Laws. Landlord shall
have the right at all times to monitor the work for compliance with the Building
regulations and any applicable Laws. If Landlord determines that any applicable
Law or any Building regulations and/or procedures are not being strictly to
complied with, Landlord may immediately require the cessation of all work being
performed in or around the Premises until such time as Landlord is satisfied
that the applicable Laws and Building regulations and procedures will be
observed. Neither Landlord's review and approval of the plans and specifications
nor Landlord's monitoring of any work in or around the Premises shall not be
deemed a certification by Landlord of compliance with any applicable Laws or
with the Building regulations and procedures or a waiver by Landlord of its
right to require strict compliance with such Laws, regulations, or procedures,
nor shall such monitoring relieve Tenant from any liabilities relating to such
work.
9.2.7 Upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall
provide Landlord with construction plans, copies of all construction contracts,
and proof of payment for all labor and materials.
9.3 Tenant Improvements - Treatment at End of Lease.
9.3.1 All Tenant Improvements (and all Alterations, upon
their completion) made by or for Tenant, whether temporary or permanent in
character, and whether made by Landlord or Tenant, shall be Landlord's property,
and shall be surrendered to Landlord in good order, condition, and repair
(ordinary wear and tear excepted), broom clean, upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the Term, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation
therefor; provided however, that at the election of Landlord, exercisable by
notice to Tenant, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole expense, prior to the
expiration of the Term, remove from the Premises all Tenant Improvements and
Alterations (or such portion thereof as Landlord may require to be removed) and
repair all damage to the Premises caused by such removal. At least thirty (30)
days prior to the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall submit by notice to
Landlord a written request of Landlord for instructions as to whether or not
Landlord elects to require any such removal of Tenant Improvements or
Alterations. Any damage or deterioration of the Premises or any Tenant
Improvements that could have been prevented by good maintenance practices shall
not be deemed to be ordinary wear and tear.
9.3.2 All of Tenant's furniture, furnishings, trade
fixtures, equipment not attached to the Building or the Premises, other personal
property, and all trash and debris (collectively, the "Personal Property"),
shall be completely removed by Tenant prior to the expiration of the Term;
provided, however, that Tenant shall repair all damage caused by such removal
prior to the expiration of the Term, and provided further, that any of Tenant's
Personal
17
18
Property not so removed shall, at the option of Landlord, automatically become
the property of Landlord. Thereafter, Landlord may retain or in any manner
dispose of said Personal Property not so removed, without liability to Tenant.
9.4 Other Improvements in the Building. If as a result of any
Alterations or Tenant Improvements or as a result of Tenant's particular use of
the Premises, Landlord shall be required by any applicable Law to make other
improvements (including, without limitation, upgrading of installations of life
safety systems or compliance with standards for handicapped persons) in or upon
the Premises or any other portion of the Building or Facility, then Landlord
shall have the right to charge Tenant for the cost of such other improvements.
10. Repair Obligations.
10.1 Tenant's Obligations. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 9 (Alterations), Section 16 (Building Services), and Section 23 (Damage
or Destruction), Tenant, at its sale cost and expense, shall keep the Premises
and every part thereof in good, clean, pest-free, and sanitary condition and
repair at all times during the Term. All damage, injury or breakage to any part
or portion of the Premises or the Facility caused by the willful or negligent
act or omission of Tenant or any of its officers, directors, trustees, partners,
agents, contractors, employees, licensees, invitees, visitors, customers, or
trespassers (collectively, the "Tenant Parties") shall be promptly repaired at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, to the satisfaction of Landlord; provided,
however, that Tenant shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for such expense
to the extent that the cost of any such repair is covered by insurance obtained
by Landlord as part of Operating Expenses. Landlord shall have the right to
perform such repair work. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the design and
function of all of Tenant Improvements, whether or not installed by Landlord at
Tenant's request. Tenant waives all rights to make repairs to the Premises or to
the Facility at the expense of Landlord, or to deduct the cost of such repairs
from any payment owed to Landlord under this Lease.
10.2 Landlord's Obligations. Provided that no Event of Default
shall have occurred and then remain uncured, Landlord shall keep in good
condition and repair the foundations, exterior walls, structural condition of
the interior bearing walls, and the roof of the Building, as well as any parking
lots, parking structures, walkways, driveways, landscaping, fences, signs, and
utility installations of the common areas. Landlord's obligations under this
Subsection shall not apply to any non-insured damage or wear and tear caused by
any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease or by any negligent or willful
act or omission of Tenant or the Tenant Parties. Landlord shall not be obligated
to perform repairs for which Tenant has expressly assumed responsibility under
other provisions of this Lease. Landlord shall have no obligation to make any
repairs under this Subsection until a reasonable time after receipt of notice
from Tenant of the need for such repairs. Tenant hereby acknowledges that the
foregoing description of certain obligations and rights of Landlord is not
intended to limit or restrict Landlord's rights under other provisions of this
Lease to reimbursement for costs and expenses incurred in connection with such
matters.
11. Liens. Tenant shall keep the Premises, the Building, and the rest of
the Facility free from liens arising out of any work or materials actually or
allegedly performed or furnished, or obligations incurred, by or for Tenant. At
any time Tenant either desires or is required to
18
19
make any Alterations whose estimated cost is greater than $5,000.00, Landlord
may, without limitation to the provisions of Section 9 (Alterations) above, (a)
require Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to obtain and provide to
Landlord a completion or performance bond, in a form and by a surety acceptable
to Landlord and in an amount not less than one and one-half (1-1/2) times the
estimated cost of such Alterations, to insure Landlord against liability from
mechanics' and materialmen's liens and to insure completion of the work, and (b)
require such additional items or assurances as Landlord in its sole discretion
may deem reasonable or desirable. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless from and against any and all claims for mechanics', materialmen's or
other liens in connection with any Alterations, repairs, or any work performed,
materials furnished, or obligations incurred by or for Tenant. In the event any
such lien is filed or asserted, Tenant shall immediately post any bond required
to release the Premises and the Facility therefrom.
12. Signs; Names Of Building And Facility. Except for a sign (which
shall comply Landlord's with building standard criteria) placed on the entry
door to the Premises, Tenant shall not place any logo, sign, advertisement,
announcement, warning, or notice upon or in front of the Premises or any common
areas. Tenant shall not use any name, insignia, or logotype of the Building or
Facility for any purpose. Tenant shall not use any picture of the Building or
Facility in its advertising or stationery or in any other manner. Landlord
expressly reserves the right, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, at any
time to change the name, insignia, logotype, or street address of the Building
or the Facility without in any manner being liable to Tenant.
13. Assignment And Subletting
13.1 "Transfer" Defined. As used herein, the term "Transfer"
shall mean any assignment of this Lease (including, without limitation,
assignment by operation of law--e.g., death of an individual tenant or merger,
dissolution, consolidation, or other reorganization of a corporate tenant),
subletting of all or any part the Premises, or transfer of possession, or right
of possession or contingent right of possession of all or any portion of the
Premises, including without limitation, concession, mortgage, encumbrance,
devise, hypothecation, agency, franchise, or management agreement, or to suffer
any other person (the agents and employees of Tenant excepted) to occupy or use
the said Premises or any portion thereof. If Tenant is a corporation that is not
deemed a public corporation, or is an unincorporated association or partnership,
or if Tenant consists of more than one party, the transfer, assignment
(including, without limitation, assignment by operation of law), or
hypothecation of any stock of or interest in Tenant in the aggregate in excess
of forty percent (40%), shall also be deemed to be a "Transfer." If Tenant is a
partnership or consists of more than one party, then any of the foregoing events
with respect to any such party comprising Tenant, or with respect to any general
partner of Tenant or any such party, shall also be deemed to be a "Transfer."
Notwithstanding the foregoing, occupancy of all or part of the Premises by
parent, subsidiary, or affiliated companies of Tenant shall not be deemed a
"Transfer," provided that such parent, subsidiary or affiliated companies were
not formed as a subterfuge to avoid the obligations of this Section 13.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's prior consent shall not be required
for an assignment or sublease to any corporation, partnership or other entity
resulting from any merger, consolidation, stock purchase, reorganization or
other restructuring of Tenant, provided such successor entity has the financial
capacity to perform the obligations of Tenant under the Lease.
19
20
13.2 No Transfer Without Consent. Tenant shall not, either
voluntarily or by operation of law or otherwise, suffer a Transfer without the
prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, except as otherwise expressly provided below. Landlord's consent to
one Transfer shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent Transfer; nor
shall Landlord's consent constitute an acknowledgment that no default then
exists under this Lease of the obligations to be performed by Tenant; nor shall
such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing default, except as may be
otherwise stated in writing by Landlord at the time; nor shall Landlord's
acceptance of rent from any person be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any
provision of this Section 13. If Landlord's approval or consent for any
agreement or instrument is required hereunder, then no amendment or modification
shall be made thereto without Landlord's prior consent. Any Transfer that is not
in compliance with the provisions of this Section 13 shall be voidable at
Landlord's election.
13.3 Procedure for Assignment and Subletting/Landlord's Recapture
Rights. Tenant shall advise Landlord by written notice of (a) Tenant's intent to
make a Transfer, (b) the name of the proposed transferee, and evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that such proposed transferee is comparable
in reputation, stature and financial condition to the other tenants then leasing
comparable space in the Facility (such evidence shall include, without
limitation, (i) a description of the proposed transferee's business background
and experience, (ii) the past two year's Federal Income Tax returns of the
proposed transferee, (iii) the proposed transferee's audited annual Balance
Sheets and Profit and Loss Statements for the past two years, certified correct
by a Certified Public Accountant, (iv) banking references of the proposed
transferee, and (vi) at least five business and three personal references for
the proposed transferee), and (c) the terms of the proposed assignment or
subletting (including the financial terms and the intended use of the Premises),
together with a copy of the proposed Transfer documents. Landlord need not
commence its review of any proposed Transfer, or respond to any request by
Tenant with respect to such, unless and until Landlord has received all of the
foregoing documentation from Tenant. Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days
after receipt of such notice and documentation, and any additional information
reasonably requested by Landlord, elect one of the following:
(i) Consent to such proposed Transfer;
(ii) Refuse such consent, which refusal
shall be on reasonable grounds, subject to the provisions of Subsection 13.4
below; or
13.4 Conditions to Approval.
13.4.1 It is understood and agreed that, without limiting
Landlord's right of consent as provided herein, Landlord's withholding consent
shall be deemed reasonable if the proposed assignment or sublease fails to meet
any one or more of the following criteria: (i) neither the proposed Transfer nor
the proposed use of the Premises by the proposed transferee shall conflict with
or result in a breach of Subsections 2.2 (Restriction on Use), 7.2 (Consent
Required for Hazardous Substances), or 13.8 (Non-Competition), or any other
provision of this Lease, nor shall it violate any exclusivity arrangement that
Landlord may then have with any other tenant of the Facility; (ii) the proposed
transferee shall not be a governmental entity; (iii) if Tenant's obligations
under this Lease have been guaranteed by one or more third parties, then
20
21
each such guarantor's written consent to the proposed Transfer shall have been
furnished to Landlord; (iv) the tenancy of the proposed transferee shall not
have a disadvantageous impact on the Common Areas or the other occupants of the
Facility; (v) the occupation of the proposed transferee in the Premises shall
not cause a diminution in the reputation of the Facility or the other businesses
located therein; (vi) the proposed transferee shall be at least comparable in
reputation, stature and financial condition to the other tenants then leasing
comparable space in the Facility; and (vii) the rent payable by any proposed
assignee or subtenant be at least at the then current rental rates for the
Premises or comparable premises in the Facility, but not less than the then
current Minimum Monthly Rent under this Lease.
13.4.2 In the event that Landlord shall consent to a
proposed Transfer, or shall reasonably disapprove a proposed Transfer (other
than in connection with an exercise of Landlord's recapture rights under
Subsection 13.3), pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13, Tenant shall
pay Landlord's processing costs and attorneys' fees (including reasonable costs
of Landlord's in-house counsel) incurred in connection with such matter, as
reasonably determined by Landlord.
13.5 Landlord's Right to Bonus Rentals.
13.5.1 If Tenant at any time duly assigns this Lease
(including, without limitation, a sale of all or substantially all of Tenant's
assets or corporate stock) or subleases the Premises or any part thereof, then
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, immediately upon Tenant's receipt thereof, ninety
percent (90%) of the "Rent Differential" received by Tenant in connection with
or in respect to such assignment or subletting. For purposes of this Subsection,
the following definitions shall apply:
(i) the term "Rent Differential" shall mean
the excess of (a) any and all "Proceeds" payable to Tenant over (b) Tenant's
"Allowed Costs";
(ii) the term "Proceeds" shall mean any and
all fees, rents, charges, payments, or other sums or consideration payable or
deliverable to Tenant in connection with such assignment or subletting,
regardless of whether any or all of such Proceeds are deemed to be allocable to
the leasehold or to Tenant's corporate stock or to Tenant's business at the
Premises or to Tenant's trade fixtures, equipment, furnishings, accounts
receivable, or inventory at the Premises or to any other tangible or intangible
personal property of Tenant connected with the Premises or Tenant's business
there conducted; and the term "Allowed Costs" shall mean (a) reasonable
attorneys' fees and reasonable broker's commissions and fees paid by Tenant to
nonaffiliated attorneys or brokers in connection with such assignment or
subletting, plus (b) the reasonable costs of constructing any tenant
improvements Tenant is required to furnish to such assignee or subtenant, plus
(c) in the case of an assignment, all of the Gross Rent, or in the case of a
subletting, the proportionate amount of the Gross Rent allocable to the portion
of the Term and portion of the Premises (if less than all) covered by such
subletting, as reasonably determined by Landlord, plus (d) the lesser of (1) the
fair market value, as reasonably determined by Landlord, of any of Tenant's
trade, fixtures, equipment, furniture, accounts receivable, and/or tangible or
intangible personal property sold to such subtenant or assignee in connection
with such assignment or subletting or (2) the actual consideration therefor
received by Tenant. For purposes of this Lease, the term "Gross Rent" shall mean
Minimum
21
22
Monthly Rent and the sums payable pursuant to Subsections 5.1, 5.2.1, 5.2.2,
5.2.3, 5.3.1, and 5.5 of this Lease.
13.5.2 In the event the Proceeds are paid in installments
(e.g., monthly sub-rent), then the Allowed Costs shall be amortized over the
scheduled number of installment payments, and Landlord's share of the Rent
Differential shall be payable at the same time such installment payments are
made.
13.5.3 Tenant covenants that any allocation of payments or
other consideration payable or deliverable to Tenant in connection with any
subletting of the Premises or assignment of this Lease shall be made in good
faith and not with a purpose to avoid Tenant's obligation to pay 50% of the Rent
Differential to Landlord.
13.6 Joint and Several Obligations. Each permitted subtenant or
assignee shall assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease with respect to
the Premises, or such portion thereof as may be covered by the sublease, and
shall be and remain jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the payment of
Minimum Monthly Rent and additional rent and the performance of all of the
terms, covenants, conditions, and agreements herein contained on Tenant's part
to be performed with respect to such space; provided, however, that without
limiting the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, such subtenant shall be
liable to Landlord for rent only in the amount set forth in the sublease, unless
otherwise agreed in writing by the parties thereto. No Transfer shall be valid
and no transferee shall take possession of the Premises or any part thereof
unless, within ten (10) days after the execution of the documentary evidence
thereof, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a duly executed duplicate original of
the Transfer instrument in a form satisfactory to Landlord that (i) provides
that the transferee assumes Tenant's obligations for the payment of rent and for
the full and faithful observance and performance of the covenants, terms and
conditions contained herein, applicable to the Premises in the event of an
assignment or applicable to the subleased space in the event of a sublease, (ii)
provides that the transferee will, at Landlord's election, attorn directly to
Landlord in the event Tenant's Lease is terminated for any reason on the terms
set forth in the instrument of transfer, and (iii) contains such other
assurances as Landlord reasonably deems necessary. The failure or refusal of a
transferee to execute such an instrument of assumption shall not release or
discharge the assignee from its obligations set forth above.
13.7 Assignment of Subrents. Tenant hereby assigns and transfers
to Landlord all of Tenant's interest in any rentals or other income arising from
any sublease heretofore or hereafter made by Tenant. Landlord may collect such
rentals and income and apply same toward Tenant's obligations under this Lease;
provided, however, that until an Event of Default shall have occurred, Tenant
shall be entitled to receive, collect, and enjoy such rentals and income,
subject to the provisions of Subsection 13.5 above. Landlord shall not, by
reason of this or any other assignment of any sublease to Landlord, nor by
reason of any collection of rentals from a subtenant, be deemed liable to such
subtenant for any failure of Tenant to perform or comply with any of Tenant's
obligations to such subtenant under its sublease. Tenant hereby irrevocably
authorizes and directs any such subtenant, upon receipt of a written notice from
Landlord stating that an Event of Default has occurred under this Lease, to pay
to Landlord the rentals due and to become due under the sublease. Tenant agrees
that such subtenant shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and
request from Landlord, and that such subtenant shall pay such rents
22
23
to Landlord without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Event
of Default has occurred and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Tenant
to the contrary. Tenant shall have no right or claim against such subtenant or
Landlord for any such rentals so paid by such subtenant to Landlord.
13.8 Non-Competition. In no event shall Tenant, without
Landlord's prior consent, assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any
portion thereof to any then tenant or occupant of space in the Facility, or any
prospective tenant with whom Landlord is then, or has within six (6) months
prior thereto, engaged in lease negotiations or discussions that included the
delivery of written correspondence concerning same by at least one of the
parties thereto, or by its broker agent or representative.
13.9 No Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by
Tenant or mutual cancellation of this Lease shall not work a merger. At the
option of Landlord, any such surrender or cancellation of this Lease shall
either terminate any and all then existing subleases or subtenancies or operate
as an assignment to Landlord of Tenant's interest in any and all such subleases
or subtenancies.
13.10 Landlord's Right to Assign. Landlord shall have the right
to sell, encumber, convey, transfer, and/or assign any of its rights and
obligations under this Lease.
14. Indemnification; Insurance; Allocation Of Risk.
14.1 Indemnification. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
Landlord and its officers, directors, partners and employees entirely harmless
from and against all liabilities, losses, demands, actions, expenses or claims,
including attorneys' fees and court costs, for injury to or death of any person
or for damages to any property arising out of or in any manner connected with:
(i) the use, occupancy or enjoyment of the
Premises and Common Areas and all facilities and amenities located within the
Common Areas by Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees, invitees or contractors
(the "Tenant's Agents") or any work, activity or other things allowed or
suffered by tenant or Tenant's Agents to be done in or about the Common Area or
Premises,
(ii) any breach or default in the
performance of any obligation of Tenant under this Lease, and
(iii) any act or failure to act, whether
negligent or otherwise tortious, by Tenant or Tenant's Agents on or about the
Premises, Building or Common Area.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be liable and Landlord shall
indemnify and hold Tenant free and harmless to the extent that damage or injury
is ultimately determined to be caused by the active negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord. All property of Tenant kept or stored on the Premises or
in the Building shall be so kept or stored at the risk of Tenant only, and
Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from any claims arising out of damage to the
same, including subrogation claims by Tenant's insurance carriers, unless such
damage shall be caused
23
24
by the negligence of Landlord. The indemnification contained herein shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
14.2 Tenant's Insurance. Tenant shall have the following
insurance obligations:
14.2.1 Liability Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant's
expense, obtain and keep in force at all times during the Term, a policy of
commercial general liability and property damage insurance (including automobile
liability). The minimum limits of liability shall be a combined single limit of
not less than ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence. The policy
shall state that Landlord and the Landlord Parties are named as additional
insureds and are entitled to recovery for the negligence of Tenant. The policy
shall also provide for severability of interest; shall provide that an act or
omission of one of the insured or additional insureds that would void or
otherwise reduce coverage shall not void or reduce coverages as to other insured
or additional insureds; shall insure performance by Tenant of the indemnity
provisions of this Lease; and shall afford coverage after the Term of this Lease
(by separate policy or extension if necessary) for all claims based on acts,
omissions, injury or damage that occurred or arose in whole or in part during
the term of this Lease. The policy shall be primary coverage for Tenant and
Landlord for any liability arising out of Tenant's and the Tenant Parties' use,
occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. The
limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit any liability of Tenant under
Subsection 14.1.
14.2.2 Personal Property Insurance. Tenant shall maintain
in full force and effect on all of its fixtures, personal property, and
equipment in the Premises a policy or, policies of fire and casualty insurance
in "all risk" form (including water damage) to the extent of at least ninety
percent (90%) of their replacement cost (without deduction for depreciation), or
that percentage of the replacement cost required to negate the effect of a
coinsurance provision, whichever is greater. No such policy shall have a
deductible in a greater amount than FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500.00). Tenant shall
also insure in the same manner the physical value of all its leasehold
improvements, if any, in the Premises. The "full replacement value" of the
improvements to be insured under this Subsection 14.2.2 shall be determined by
the company issuing the insurance policy at the time the policy is initially
obtained. Not less frequently than once every three (3) years, Landlord shall
have the right to notify Tenant that it elects to have the replacement value
redetermined by an insurance company or insurance consultant. The
redetermination shall be made promptly and in accordance with the rules and
practices of the Board of Fire Underwriters, or a like board recognized and
generally accepted by the insurance company, and each party shall be promptly
notified of the results by the company. The insurance policy shall be adjusted
according to the redetermination. During the Term, the proceeds from any such
policy or policies of insurance shall be used for the repair or replacement of
the fixtures, equipment, and leasehold improvements so insured. Landlord shall
have no interest in said insurance, and will sign all documents necessary or
proper in connection with the settlement of any claim or loss by Tenant. Tenant
shall also maintain insurance for all plate glass upon the Premises. All such
insurance shall contain waivers of subrogation to the extent available on a
commercially reasonable basis.
24
25
14.2.3 Worker's Compensation Insurance. Tenant shall carry
and maintain Workers Compensation and Employer's Liability insurance as required
by applicable Laws.
14.2.4 Business Interruption. Tenant shall maintain loss
of income and business interruption insurance in such amounts as will reimburse
Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils
commonly insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of
access to the Premises or to the Building as a result of such perils, but in no
event in an amount less than the Gross Rent payable hereunder for six (6)
months. All such insurance shall contain waivers of subrogation to the extent
available on a commercially reasonable basis.
14.2.5 Other Coverage. Not more frequently than every
three (3) years, if, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord's lender or of the
insurance consultant retained by Landlord, the amount of public liability and
property damage insurance coverage at that time is not adequate, or additional
coverages not specified above should be obtained, Tenant, at its cost, shall
increase such insurance coverage, and/or obtain such additional coverages, as
required by either Landlord's lender or Landlord's insurance consultant,
consistent with the then prevailing custom for new leases of similar space in
the business district where the Facility is located.
14.2.6 Insurance Criteria. All the insurance required to
be carried by Tenant (except Tenant's Personal Property Insurance and Workers
Compensation Insurance) hereunder shall:
(i) Be issued by insurance companies that
are qualified and admitted to do business in the State where the Facility is
located and that carry a designation in "Best's Insurance Reports," as issued
from time to time throughout the Term, as follows: Policy holders' rating of A;
financial rating of not less than X;
(ii) Be issued in a form acceptable to
Landlord.
(iii) Contain an endorsement requiring
thirty (30) days' written notice from the insurance company to both parties and
to Landlord's lender before cancellation or expiration or decrease in the
coverage, scope, or amount of any policy.
(iv) Waive subrogation, as required by
Subsections 14.2.2, 14.2.4, and 14.5, with respect to property loss or damage by
fire or other casualty.
(v) Name Landlord and its property manager
as additional insureds and, at Landlord's request, shall carry a lender's loss
payee endorsement in favor of Landlord's lender and such other endorsements as
Landlord may reasonably require from time to time.
14.2.7 Evidence of Coverage. An executed copy of each
insurance policy, or a certificate thereof with the actual policy attached,
shall be delivered to Landlord prior to Tenant's commencing remodeling work in
or taking occupancy of the Premises, and Tenant shall keep each such policy in
full force and effect throughout the Term. Renewal
25
26
policies or certificates thereof shall be delivered to Landlord at least thirty
(30) days in advance of the expiration dates of the expiring policies.
14.2.8 Tenant Insurance Default. In the event that Tenant
fails to deliver to Landlord any policy, certificate, or renewal notice
hereunder required within the prescribed time period, or if any such policy is
canceled or modified during the Term without Landlord's consent, Landlord may at
its option, but shall not be obligated to, obtain such insurance on behalf of
Tenant and xxxx Tenant, as additional rent, for the cost thereof. The provisions
of this Section 14 are for the benefit of Landlord and its lenders only and are
not nor shall they be construed to be for the benefit of any employee of Tenant,
any other tenant or occupant of the Building or the Facility, or any other
person whatsoever.
14.3 Landlord's Insurance. Landlord shall maintain policies of
insurance covering loss of or damage to the Building in the full amount of its
replacement cost. Such policies shall provide protection (subject to reasonable
deductibles) against all perils included within the classification of fire,
extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, special extended perils (all
risk), sprinkler leakage, and any other perils (e.g., flood and earthquake) that
Landlord reasonably deems appropriate. Landlord shall not obtain insurance for
Tenant's trade fixtures or equipment.
14.4 Exculpation. Except to the extent otherwise expressly
provided below in this Subsection, Tenant hereby waives all Claims against
Landlord and the Landlord Parties for any loss, theft, or damage to Tenant's
business or Personal Property or injury (including death and physical,
psychological, and emotional injuries) to persons, in, upon or about the
Premises and/or the Facility from any cause whatsoever, except for the active or
passive negligence of Landlord or the Landlord Parties. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Tenant specifically acknowledges that such waived
Claims includes injuries, losses, and damage resulting from the following
causes:
Fire; smoke; explosion; falling plaster, ceiling tiles, fixtures, or
signs; broken glass; steam; gas; fumes; vapors; odors; dust; dirt; grease; acid;
oil; any other Hazardous Substance; debris; noise; air or noise pollution;
vibration; theft; breakage; vermin; electricity; computer or electronic
equipment or systems malfunction or stoppage; water; rain; flooding; freezing;
windstorm; snow; sleet; hail; frost; ice; excessive heat or cold; sewage; sewer
backup; toilet overflow; leaks or discharges from or into the Premises or any
other part of the Facility, or from any pipes, sprinklers, appliances, equipment
(including, without limitation, heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning
equipment); electrical or other wiring; plumbing fixtures; roofs; windows;
skylights; doors; trapdoors; the surface or subsurface of any floor or ceiling
of any part of the Facility; dampness or climatic conditions; maintenance,
repair, or construction activities; renovation work; and any interruption,
cessation, or failure of any public or other utility service.
The foregoing notwithstanding, neither Landlord nor the Landlord Parties
shall be released from liability for their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct or Landlord's negligent failure to respond to written notice from
Tenant of deficiencies that result in such loss, damage, or injury (provided
that the correction of such deficiencies is the obligation of Landlord
hereunder). However, Landlord's liability shall be subject to the further
limitations set forth in Subsection 22.6. BY SIGNING ITS INITIALS BELOW, TENANT
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
26
27
IT HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE MEANING AND RAMIFICATIONS OF THE PROVISIONS SET
FORTH IN THIS SUBSECTION AND FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH PROVISIONS WERE
SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED.
/s/ P. G. L. TENANT'S INITIALS
--------------
14.5 Allocation of Insured Risks/Subrogation.
14.5.1 Landlord and Tenant release each other from any
Claims of whatever nature for damage, loss, or injury to the Premises, the
Building, and/or the Facility, or to the other's property in, on, or about the
Premises and the Facility, to the extent of any insurance proceeds that are
received or receivable (or that would have been receivable but for such
releasing party's breach or default of its obligations under this Lease), even
if such damage, loss, or injury shall have been caused by the fault or
negligence (but not willful misconduct) of the other party or anyone for whom
such party may be responsible. Landlord and Tenant shall each cause their
respective insurance policies to provide that the insurance company waives all
right of recovery by way of subrogation against either Landlord or Tenant in
connection with any damage covered by any policy. To the extent of any insurance
proceeds actually received, or that would have been payable but for a breach of
this Lease, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable to the other for any
damage caused by fire or any of the risks insured against under any insurance
policy required by this Lease.
14.5.2 If an insurance policy cannot be obtained with a
waiver of subrogation, or is obtainable only by the payment of an additional
premium charge above that charged by insurance companies issuing policies
without waiver of subrogation, the party undertaking to obtain the insurance
shall notify the other party of this fact. The other party shall have a period
of ten (10) days after receiving the notice either to place the insurance with a
company that is reasonably satisfactory to the other party and that will carry
the insurance with a waiver of subrogation, or to agree to pay the additional
premium if such a policy is obtainable at additional cost. If the insurance
cannot be obtained or the party in whose favor a waiver of subrogation is
desired refuses to pay the additional premium charged, the other party is
relieved of the obligation to obtain a waiver of subrogation with respect to the
particular insurance involved.
15. Security Services.
15.1 Landlord's Obligation to Furnish Security Services. Landlord
may, but shall not be obligated to, furnish security services for the Premises
and/or the Building and/or the Facility as Landlord deems appropriate in its
sole and absolute discretion. In the event Landlord does furnish or contract to
furnish any such services, Tenant shall nevertheless have sole responsibility
for the protection of itself, the Tenant Parties and all property of Tenant and
the Tenant Parties located in, on, or about the Premises or the Building or the
Facility, and the provisions of Section 15 shall nevertheless continue in full
force and effect.
15.2 Tenant's Right to Install Security System. If Tenant wishes
to establish or install any automated and/or non-automated security system in,
on, or about the Premises, Tenant shall first notify Landlord of Tenant's plan
for any such system, and Landlord shall have the
27
28
right to review and approve or disapprove said plan in Landlord's discretion. If
Landlord approves any such plan and Tenant establishes or installs any automated
and/or nonautomated security system in, on, or about the Premises, and should
such system adversely affect the Premises or the Facility or the desirability of
the Premises or the Facility as commercial space for its then current uses, or
have an adverse effect on other tenants, respectively, Landlord shall
subsequently have the right to review Tenant's security system from time to time
and request Tenant to make such changes in personnel and/or equipment. Tenant
shall make said requested changes immediately thereafter.
16. Building Services.
16.1 Standard Building Services. Subject to the full performance
by Tenant of all of Tenant's obligations under the Lease, Landlord shall furnish
the Premises with the standard building services and utilities as set forth in
the attached Exhibit D.
16.2 Additional Services. Tenant shall not, without the consent
of Landlord, (a) use any equipment, apparatus, or device in the Premises that
will in any way increase the amount of electricity, cooling capacity, or water
usually furnished or supplied for use of the Premises for general office
purposes or (b) connect with electric current, except through existing
electrical outlets in the Premises, or connect to water pipes, any apparatus or
device for the purpose of using electric current or water. Tenant agrees to pay
immediately upon demand all reasonable charges imposed by Landlord from time to
time for all building services and utilities supplied to or used by Tenant in
excess of or in addition to those standard building services and utilities
described in Exhibit D. Such excess and additional building services and
utilities are hereinafter referred to as "Additional Services." Landlord may at
any time cause a switch and/or metering system to be installed at Tenant's
expense (which expense Tenant shall pay within ten (10) working days after
receipt of an invoice from Landlord covering the installment cost of such switch
or metering system) to measure the amount of building services, utilities,
and/or Additional Services consumed by Tenant or used in the Premises.
16.3 Conservation. Tenant shall cooperate fully with Landlord to
effect conservation of all utilities in the Building and shall use its best
efforts to minimize its use of water, heat, electricity, and air conditioning.
16.4 Landlord's Right to Cease Providing Services. Landlord
reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to item (a)
below, and in its reasonable discretion with respect to item (b) below, to
reduce, interrupt, or cease service of the heating, air conditioning,
ventilation, elevator, plumbing, electrical systems, telephone systems, and/or
utility services of the Premises, the Building, or the Facility, for any of the
following reasons or causes:
(a) any accident, emergency, Law, or Force Majeure
(as defined in Section 17); or
(b) the making of any repairs, additions,
alterations, or improvements to the Premises, the Building, or the Facility,
until such repairs, additions, alterations, or improvements shall have been
completed.
28
29
No such interruption, reduction, or cessation of any such building
services or utilities shall constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's
use or possession of the Premises or common areas, or a breach of Landlord's
obligations hereunder, or render Landlord liable for any damages (including,
without limitation, any damages, compensation, or claims arising from any
interruption or cessation of Tenant's business), or entitle Tenant to be
relieved from any of its obligations under the Lease, or result in any abatement
of rent. However, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable diligence to
restore such service, and to minimize any disturbance to Tenant, where it is
within Landlord's commercially reasonable control to do so. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any of the utilities and services cease to be provided to Tenant
as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, resulting in
the Premises being rendered uninhabitable, and if such interruption continues in
excess of five (5) consecutive business days, then all rent payable by Tenant to
Landlord under this Lease shall be abated for the period the Premises are
rendered uninhabitable for such reasons.
17. Force Majeure. Except as otherwise expressly provided elsewhere in
this Lease with respect to Tenant's right to abatement of Gross Rent under
certain circumstances, Landlord shall not be chargeable with, liable for, or
responsible to Tenant for anything or in any amount for any failure to perform
or delay caused by any of the following events (collectively, "Force Majeure"):
fire; earthquake; explosion; flood; hurricane; the elements; acts of God or the
public enemy; actions, restrictions, limitations or interference of governmental
or quasi-governmental authorities or agents; war; invasion; insurrection;
rebellion; riots; strikes or lockouts; inability to obtain necessary materials,
goods, equipment, services, utilities or labor; accident; breakage; or any other
cause whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing which is beyond the
reasonable control of Landlord; and any such failure or delay due to said causes
or any of them shall not be deemed a breach of or default in the performance of
this Lease by Landlord.
18. Rules And Regulations. Tenant, its agents, employees, and servants
and those claiming under Tenant will at all times observe, perform, and abide by
all of the general rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord as set forth in
Exhibit C, and as reasonably modified, supplemented, or amended by Landlord from
time to time (the "Rules and Regulations"). Landlord shall not be responsible to
Tenant for the nonperformance by any other tenant or occupant of the Facility of
any of said rules and regulations, and Landlord reserves the right to make
reasonable exceptions for specific tenants or occupants with respect to the
application of certain rules and regulations. Subject to the foregoing, Landlord
agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with Landlord's rights
under applicable leases, to apply the Rules and Regulations in a fair,
responsible, and equitable manner. If there is a conflict between the Rules and
Regulations and any provision of this Lease, the provisions of this Lease shall
prevail.
19. Holding Over.
19.1 Surrender of Possession. Tenant shall surrender possession
of the Premises immediately upon the expiration of the Term or termination of
this Lease. If Tenant retains possession of the Premises or any part thereof
after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, whether with or without
Landlord's consent, all of the provisions of this Lease pertaining to the
obligations of Tenant and the rights of Landlord during the Term shall apply to
such holdover period, except as expressly modified by this Section 19.
29
30
19.2 Holding Over With Consent. If Tenant, with Landlord's
consent, retains possession of the Premises after the expiration of the Term,
Tenant shall become a tenant from month-to-month, at a monthly rental equal to
one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Minimum Monthly Rent applicable
immediately prior to the expiration of the Term. Such month-to-month tenancy
shall be terminable in the manner provided by law.
19.3 Holding Over Without Consent. If Tenant, without Landlord's
consent, retains possession of the Premises after the expiration or earlier
termination of Term (or, in the case of a month-to-month tenancy under
Subsection 19.2, after the duly noticed termination date of such tenancy), then
Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly rental equal to two hundred percent (200%)
of the Minimum Monthly Rent applicable immediately prior to the expiration or
earlier termination of the Term, and Tenant shall indemnify Landlord from and
against all losses, costs, claims, liabilities, and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable' attorneys' fees and disbursements) sustained by Landlord
by reason of such retention (including, without limitation, claims for damages
by any other person to whom Landlord may have agreed to lease all or any part of
the Premises effective on or after the date Tenant was obligated to surrender
possession of the Premises). No acceptance by Landlord of rent during any such
holding over without Landlord's approval shall reinstate, continue, or extend
the Term of this Lease or shall affect any notice of termination given to Tenant
prior to the payment of such money, it being agreed that after the service of
such notice or the commencement of any suit by Landlord to obtain possession of
the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect when due any and all payments
owed by Tenant under this Lease, and otherwise exercise its rights and remedies.
The making of any such payments by Tenant shall not waive such notice, or in any
manner affect any pending suit or judgment obtained.
20. Subordination. This Lease shall, at Landlord's sole option, be
subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any mortgages or deeds of
trust in any amounts whatsoever now or hereafter placed on or against the
Facility (or any portion thereof) or on or against Landlord's interest or estate
therein without the necessity of having further interests on the part of Tenant
to effectuate such subordination. Notwithstanding such subordination, Tenant's
right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed as a result of
any foreclosure or deed in lieu of any mortgage or deed of trust hereafter
placed on or against the Facility, if and so long as Tenant is not in default of
any of its obligations under this Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise
terminated pursuant to its terms. If any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor
shall elect to have this Lease deemed to be prior to the lien of its mortgage,
deed of trust, or ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant,
then this Lease shall be deemed to be prior to such instrument, regardless of
whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the execution or recording
date thereof. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand,
such further instruments evidencing such subordination of this Lease as may be
required by Landlord, provided that said instruments recognize that Tenant's
right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed if and so long
as Tenant is not in default of its obligations under this Lease. Tenant hereby
irrevocably appoints Landlord the attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute and
deliver any such instruments for or in the name of Tenant.
30
31
21. Entry By Landlord.
21.1 Landlord reserves and shall have the right to enter the
Premises at any and all reasonable times to inspect the same, to verify Tenant's
compliance with its obligations under this Lease, to post notices of
non-responsibility (if permitted by the Laws of the State where the Facility is
located), to post any notices Landlord reasonably believes are required by law
to be posted on the Premises, to deliver notices to Tenant or any subtenant or
occupant of any portion of the Premises, to supply any service to be provided by
Landlord to Tenant hereunder, to submit the Premises to prospective lender,
purchasers, investors, or tenants. Landlord may, during the last six (6) months
of the Term, place "For Lease" signs on or about the Premises.
21.2 Landlord also reserves and shall have the right to enter the
Premises, upon reasonable prior written notice (except in emergencies), to
alter, improve, renovate, or repair the Premises and any portion of the Facility
or its mechanical systems, and Landlord may for such purposes erect scaffolding
and other appropriate structures where reasonably required by the character of
the work to be performed. In the event that any such entry by Landlord into the
Premises, or such work performed by Landlord at the Facility, prevents Tenant
from gaining access to all or any significant portion of the Premises for more
than five (5) consecutive business days, then Minimum Monthly Rent shall be
abated in proportion to the part of the Premises (if less than all) to which
Tenant shall have been denied access, but there shall be no abatement of rent by
reason of all or any portion of the Premises being inaccessible for a period of
five (5) or fewer consecutive business days. Further, Tenant shall not be
entitled to any abatement of rent on account of any noise, vibration, or other
disturbance to Tenant's business at the Premises that may arise out of any such
entry by Landlord into the Premises or out of Landlord's performance of any such
work at the Facility, and under no circumstances shall any such noise,
vibration, disturbance, work, or entry by Landlord be construed or deemed to be
a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the Premises or an eviction
of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof. Landlord shall use
commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not include any obligation to
employ labor at overtime rates) to avoid or minimize disruption of Tenant's
business during any such entry or work by Landlord.
21.3 Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means that
Landlord may deem appropriate to open any doors in an emergency in order to
obtain entry to the Premises.
22. Defaults And Remedies.
22.1 Events of Default.
22.1.1 Definition. In addition to those events designated
as Events of Default in other provisions of this Lease, each of the following
shall constitute an "Event of Default" by Tenant and a material breach of this
Lease:
(1) Tenant's failure to make any
payment owed by Tenant under this Lease, as and when due, where such failure is
not cured within five (5) business days following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's
written notice thereof; or
(2) Tenant's failure to observe,
keep, or perform any of the terms, covenants, agreements, or conditions under
this Lease that Tenant is obligated
31
32
to observe or perform, other than that described in subdivision (1) above, for a
period of thirty (30) days after delivery of notice to Tenant of said failure;
provided however, that if the nature of Tenant's default is such that more than
thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be
deemed to be in default under this Lease if Tenant shall commence the cure of
such default so specified within said ten (10) day period and diligently
prosecute the same to completion; or
(3) Landlord's discovery that any
financial statement given to Landlord by Tenant, by any assignee or subtenant of
Tenant, by any successor in interest of Tenant, or by any guarantor of any
obligations of Tenant under this Lease, was materially false, where Tenant
fails, within ten (10) days after delivery of Landlord's written demand, to give
Landlord such additional assurances or security for the full and faithful
performance of all Tenant's obligations under this Lease as Landlord shall
reasonably have demanded; or
(4) The occurrence of any of the
events described in Subsection 36.5 (Events of Bankruptcy) below with respect to
any guarantor of any obligations of Tenant under this Lease, where Tenant fails
to furnish a substitute guarantor, or alternative security, satisfactory to
Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord's delivery of Landlord's written
demand therefor.
22.1.2 Notice of Default. The notices of default provided
for in Subsection 22.1.1(1) and (2), and the written demands provided for in
Subsection 22.1.1(3) and (4), shall in each case be in lieu of, and not in
addition to, any notice required under applicable unlawful detainer Laws;
22.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,
Landlord may exercise any one or more of the termination rights and other
remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies now or hereafter provided
at law or in equity.
22.3 Right to Cure. All covenants and agreements to be performed
by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost
and expense. If Tenant shall fail to perform any act on its part to be performed
under this Lease, and such failure shall continue for five (5) business days
after notice thereof to Tenant (except that no notice shall be required in cases
of emergency), Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to do so, without
waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, perform any such act
on Tenant's part to be performed as provided in this Lease. All costs incurred
by Landlord with respect to any such performance by Landlord (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord immediately upon
demand.
22.4 Waiver of Redemption. Tenant hereby waives, for itself and
all persons claiming by and under Tenant, all rights and privileges which it
might have under any present or future law to redeem the Premises or to continue
the Lease after being dispossessed or ejected from the Premises.
22.5 Remedies Cumulative. All remedies of Landlord under this
Lease are cumulative. Efforts by Landlord to mitigate the damages caused by
Tenant's default shall not
32
33
constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to recover damages, nor shall Landlord
have any obligation to mitigate damages, except to the extent otherwise provided
by applicable Laws.
22.6 Default by Landlord. In no event shall Landlord be deemed to
be in default of any obligation hereunder unless and until thirty (30) days have
expired after delivery of notice of such deficiency to Landlord and to anyone
else, or to any lien holder, to whom Landlord has instructed Tenant to send
duplicative notices, specifying in detail Landlord's failure to perform, to
Landlord and to the holder of any recorded interest pertaining to the Building;
provided, however, that if such deficiency cannot be cured or corrected within
such 30-day period Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord or anyone on
behalf of Landlord commences such cure or correction within such 30-day period
and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. If Landlord is
deemed to be in default under the provisions of this Subsection, Tenant shall be
entitled to bring an action for declaratory judgment or specific performance, or
for damages (subject to the provisions of this Lease limiting Landlord's
liability) shown by Tenant to have been proximately caused by such default.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant agrees that, in
the event that it becomes entitled to receive damages from Landlord, Tenant
shall not be allowed to recover from Landlord consequential damages or damages
in excess of the out-of-pocket expenditures incurred by Tenant as a result of a
default by Landlord. Landlord's liability to Tenant for damages resulting from
Landlord's breach of any provision or provisions of the Lease shall not exceed
the value of Landlord's equity interest in the Facility. Tenant hereby expressly
waives its rights under any and all Laws, now or hereafter in effect, to
terminate this Lease (whether prior to or after the commencement of the Term) or
to withhold any payment owed by Tenant under this Lease, on account of any
damage, condemnation, destruction, or state of disrepair of the Premises, or any
part thereof, it being the parties' intent that the provisions of this Lease
shall govern the parties' rights and obligations with respect to such matters.
23. Damage Or Destruction.
23.1 Total or Substantial Destruction. In the event that the
Facility or Building shall be destroyed to the extent of forty percent (40%) or
more of the replacement cost thereof, Landlord may elect to terminate this
Lease, whether the Premises be damaged or not, upon written notice to Tenant not
later than the 60th day after the date of such destruction.
23.2 Loss Covered by Insurance. If, at anytime prior to the
expiration or termination of this Lease, (a) all or any portion of the Premises,
or any portion of the Common Areas whose use is required for Tenant's business,
shall be wholly or partially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty or
peril (collectively, a "Casualty"), and (b) at least ninety percent (90%) of the
total costs of performing the necessary repairs and replacements under then
applicable Law will be fully covered and paid for by available proceeds of
insurance maintained by Landlord, and (c) such damage or destruction shall
render the Premises totally or partially inaccessible or unusable by Tenant in
the ordinary conduct of Tenant's business, then:
23.2.1 Repairs That Can Be Completed Within One Hundred
Eighty Days. Within sixty (60) days after the date of Tenant's notice to
Landlord of such damage or destruction (the "Damage Notice Date"), Landlord
shall give Tenant notice of Landlord's good faith determination of whether the
damage or destruction can be repaired under applicable Laws,
33
34
without the payment of overtime or other premiums, within one hundred eighty
(180) days after the date such determination of Landlord is made. If all such
repairs to the Premises and/or such portions of the Common Areas can, in
Landlord's good faith judgment, be substantially completed in such manner within
such one hundred eighty (180) day period, Landlord shall undertake such repairs
and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
23.2.2 Repairs That Cannot Be Completed Within One Hundred
Eighty Days. In the event that Landlord ever determines that such repairs to the
Premises or to such portions of the Common Areas cannot, in Landlord's good
faith judgment, be substantially completed under applicable Laws, without the
payment of overtime or other premiums, within one hundred eighty days after the
date of such casualty, then Landlord shall notify Tenant of such determination
within ten (10) days of such casualty. In such notice Landlord shall either
agree to undertake such repairs (in which even the notice shall include
Landlord's estimate of the time required to complete same) or elect to terminate
this Lease. If Landlord so agrees to undertake repairs, but states that the
required repairs will not be completed within 180 days after delivery of such
notice, then Tenant shall have an option, exercisable by written notice thereof
delivered to Landlord not later than the tenth (10th) day after Landlord's
delivery of Landlord's notice that the repairs will not be completed within such
180-day period, to terminate this Lease. If neither Landlord nor Tenant exercise
such a right of termination following Landlord's determination that repairs will
take more than 180 days, then Landlord shall diligently undertake to repair such
damage or destruction.
23.3 Loss Not Covered By Insurance. If, at anytime prior to the
expiration or termination of this Lease, (a) all or any portion of the Premises,
or any portion of the Common Areas whose use is required for Tenant's business,
is wholly or partially damaged or destroyed by a Casualty, and (b) less than
ninety percent (90%) (if any) of the total costs of performing the necessary
repairs and replacements will be fully covered and paid for by available
proceeds of insurance maintained by Landlord, and (c) such damage or destruction
renders the Premises totally or partially inaccessible or unusable by Tenant in
the ordinary conduct of Tenant's business, then:
23.3.1 Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, within sixty (60)
days after the Damage Notice Date, a written notice whereby Landlord shall
either (a) elect to terminate this Lease or (b) agree to undertake such repairs,
in which latter event such notice shall include a statement of Landlord's good
faith estimate of the number of days required in order to achieve substantial
completion, under applicable Laws, of such repair and restoration work. If
Landlord does not elect by such notice to Tenant to repair such damage, this
Lease shall be deemed to have been terminated by Landlord.
23.3.2 If pursuant to Subsection 23.3.1 Landlord elects to
undertake such repairs, but states that the required repairs will not be
completed within 180 days after delivery of such notice, then Tenant shall have
an option, exercisable by written notice thereof delivered to Landlord not later
than the tenth (10th) day after Landlord's delivery of Landlord's notice that
the repairs will not be completed within such 180-day period, to terminate this
Lease. If neither Landlord nor Tenant exercise such a right of termination with
respect to a Casualty covered by this Subsection 23.3, then Landlord shall
diligently undertake to repair such damage or destruction.
34
35
23.4 Destruction During Final Year. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in Subsections 23.1 or 23.2, if the Premises or the
Building or a portion of the Common Areas required for Tenant's business are
wholly or partially damaged or destroyed within the final twelve (12) months of
the Term of this Lease, and no renewal rights have been exercised prior to such
damage or destruction, and if as a result of such damage or destruction Tenant
is denied access or use of the Premises for the conduct of its business
operations for a period of ten (10) consecutive business days, Landlord or
Tenant may, at its option, by giving the other written notice prior to
substantial completion of the repairs, and in no event later than the 60th day
after the Damage Notice Date, elect to terminate this Lease.
23.5 Effective Date of a Lease Termination. Any notice of
Tenant's election to terminate under this Section 23 shall include a statement
of the effective date of such termination, which shall not be more than sixty
(60) days after the date such notice is delivered. Any notice of Landlord's
election to terminate under this Section 23 shall be effective (a) on the tenth
(10th) day after delivery of the notice, if the damage or destruction shall have
prevented Tenant from conducting business at the Premises, or (b) on the
sixtieth (60th) day after delivery of the notice, in the event that Tenant shall
not have been so prevented from conducting business at the Premises.
23.6 Abatement of Gross Rent. In the event that all or any
portion of the Premises shall be rendered inaccessible or unusable to Tenant,
and unused by Tenant, for a period of more than ten (10) consecutive days as a
result of any damage or destruction caused by any Casualty (and provided that
such Casualty shall not have arisen in whole or in part out of any gross
negligence or willful misconduct on Tenant), then Gross Rent shall be reduced
proportionately for such portion of the Premises as shall be rendered
inaccessible or unusable to Tenant, and unused by Tenant, during the period of
time that such portion is unusable or inaccessible to Tenant, and unused by
Tenant.
23.7 Destruction of Tenant's Personal Property, Tenant
Improvements or Property of the Tenant Parties. In the event a Casualty causes
damage to or destruction of the Premises or the Building or the Facility, under
no circumstances shall Landlord be required to repair damage to, or make any
repairs to or replacements of, Tenant's Personal Property. However, as part of
Common Area Costs, Landlord shall cause to be insured Tenant Improvements and
Alterations that do not consist of Tenant's Personal Property and shall cause
proceeds of such insurance to be applied to the cost of repairing or restoring
such Tenant Improvements and Alterations, but Tenant shall pay for such portion
of those costs as may be uninsured or be subject to a deductible. Landlord shall
have no responsibility for any contents placed or kept in or on the Premises or
the Building or the Facility by Tenant or the Tenant Parties.
23.8 Exclusive Remedy. The remedies provided for in this Section
23 shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy in the event a Casualty causes
damage to or destruction of all or any portion of the Premises, Building, or
Facility, and Tenant, as a material inducement to Landlord's entering into this
Lease, irrevocably waives and releases the provisions of any Law that would
automatically terminate this Lease or otherwise be contrary to the provisions of
this Section in the event of any such damage or destruction.
35
36
24. Eminent Domain.
24.1 Definitions. The following terms shall have the indicated
definitions as used herein: (a) "Condemnation" or "Taking" means (i) the
exercise of any governmental or power, whether by legal proceedings or
otherwise, by a Condemnor and/or (ii) a voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord
to any Condemnor, either under threat of eminent domain or while legal
proceedings for eminent domain are pending; (b) "Date of Taking" means the date
the Condemnor has the right to possession of the property being condemned; (c)
"Award" means all compensation, sums, or anything of value awarded, paid, or
received on a total or partial Condemnation; and (d) "Condemnor" means any
public or quasi-public authority, or private corporation or individual, having
the power of eminent domain.
24.2 Permanent Taking.
24.2.1 Total Taking. If the Premises are totally taken by
Condemnation, this Lease shall terminate on the Date of Taking.
24.2.2 Partial Taking; Common Areas.
24.2.2.1 If any portion of the Premises is taken by
Condemnation, this Lease shall remain in effect, except that Tenant shall have
the right to elect to terminate this Lease if forty percent (40%) or more of the
rentable square footage of the Premises is taken, or if the portion taken
renders the remainder of the Premises economically unusable by Tenant, as
determined by condemning authority. To be effective, such election to terminate
must be made by written notice delivered to Landlord within twenty (20) days
after Tenant's obtaining knowledge of the impending acquisition of such portion
of the Premises by Condemnation. Tenant shall be deemed to have knowledge of
such impending acquisition if Tenant enters into negotiations with the
Condemnor's representatives, on receipt of service of complaint and summons or
order for immediate possession, or on receipt of a letter of inquiry from
Landlord advising Tenant of the impending acquisition and requesting notice of
Tenant's resulting elections and contentions. Tenant's notice shall contain a
clear and unequivocal statement of its election to terminate, and its reasons
for this election.
24.2.2.2 If any part of the common areas of the
Facility is taken by Condemnation, this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect so long as there is no material interference with the access to the
Premises. If such a Taking materially interferes with access to the Premises,
either party shall have the election to terminate this Lease pursuant to this
Section 24.
24.2.2.3 If forty percent (40%) or more of the
Building or the Facility is taken by Condemnation (whether or not any Portion of
the Premises shall have been taken), Landlord shall have the election to
terminate this Lease in the manner prescribed herein.
24.2.3 Termination or Abatement. If either party elects to
terminate this Lease under the provisions of Subsection 24.2.2 (such party is
hereinafter referred to as the "Terminating Party"), it must terminate by giving
notice to the other party (the "Nonterminating Party") within twenty (20) days
after the nature and extent of the Taking have been finally determined (the
"Decision Period"). The Terminating Party shall notify the Nonterminating
36
37
Party of the date of termination, which date shall not be earlier than sixty
(60) days after the Terminating Party has notified the Nonterminating Party of
its election to terminate, nor later than the Date of Taking. If such notice of
termination is not given within the Decision Period, this Lease shall continue
in full force and effect except that the Gross Rent shall be reduced by
subtracting therefrom an amount calculated by multiplying the Gross Rent in
effect prior to the Taking by a fraction the numerator of which is the square
footage taken from the Premises and the denominator of which is the square
footage in the Premises prior to the Taking.
24.2.4 Restoration. If there is a partial Taking of the
Premises and this Lease remains in full force and effect pursuant to this
Section 24, Landlord, at its cost, shall accomplish all necessary restoration so
that the Premises are returned as near as practical to their condition
immediately prior to the Date of Taking, but in no event shall Landlord be
obligated to expend more for such restoration than the extent of funds actually
paid to Landlord by the Condemnor.
24.2.5 Award. Any Award arising from the Condemnation or
the settlement thereof shall belong to and be paid to Landlord and Tenant hereby
assigns to Landlord any right of Tenant thereto, except that Tenant shall
receive from the Award compensation for the following, if specified by amount in
the Award by the Condemnor: Tenant's trade fixtures, tangible personal property,
goodwill, loss of business, and relocation expenses. Tenant shall have the right
to participate in condemnation proceedings for the purposes permitted under this
Section 24 and to complain against the Condemnor authority for a separate award
for such losses. At all events, Landlord shall be solely entitled to all Awards
in respect of the real property, including the bonus value of the leasehold.
Tenant shall not be entitled to any Award until Landlord has received the total
amount to which Landlord is entitled hereunder.
24.3 Temporary Taking. No temporary taking of the Premises or any
part of the Premises and/or of Tenant's rights to the Premises or under this
Lease shall terminate this Lease or give Tenant any right to any abatement of
any rents owed to Landlord pursuant to this Lease. Any award made to Tenant by
reason of such temporary taking shall belong entirely to Tenant.
25. Sale By Landlord. In the event Landlord shall sell, assign, convey,
or transfer all or a part of its interest in the Facility or any part of the
Facility, Tenant agrees to attorn to such transferee, assignee, or new owner. If
all of Landlord's interest in the Facility shall be sold, assigned, conveyed, or
transferred, then upon consummation of such sale, assignment, conveyance, or
transfer, Landlord shall automatically be freed and relieved from all liability
and obligations accruing or to be performed from and after the date of such
sale, assignment, transfer, or conveyance, and in such event Tenant agrees to
look solely to the responsibility of such transferee, assignee, or new owner. In
the event of such sale, assignment, transfer, or conveyance, Landlord shall
transfer, or in lieu thereof grant a credit at closing, to such transferee,
assignee, or new owner of the Facility the balance of the Deposit, if any,
remaining after lawful deductions and in accordance with applicable Law, after
notice to Tenant, and Landlord hall thereupon be relieved of all liability with
respect to the Deposit.
26. Estoppel Certificates. Upon either party's prior request from time
to time, but not more than once a year, the other party shall execute,
acknowledge, and deliver to the requesting
37
38
party, not later than ten (10) days after such request, a statement (i)
certifying the date of commencement of this Lease, (ii) stating 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 as modified and the date and nature
of such modifications), (iii) stating the dates to which rent has been paid,
(iv) acknowledging that there are not, to the certifying party's knowledge, any
uncured defaults on the part of the other party, or specifying each such default
if any are claimed, and (v) setting forth such other matters as may reasonably
be requested. Landlord and Tenant intend that any such statement delivered
pursuant to this Section may be relied upon by any permitted subtenant,
assignee, or lender of Tenant, by the mortgagee or the beneficiary of any deed
of trust, or by any purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Real Property. If
Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within the required time is not cured
within three (3) days after Landlord's delivery of written notice of such
default, such failure to deliver the statement shall, at Landlord's option, be
an Event of Default under this Lease by Tenant, or it shall be conclusive upon
Tenant that (a) this Lease is then in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (b) there are no uncured
defaults in Landlord's performance, and (c) not more than one month's rent has
been paid in advance. Tenant further agrees, from time to time upon Landlord's
request, promptly to furnish to Landlord financial statements reflecting
Tenant's then current financial condition and, if rendered in the ordinary
course of conducting Tenant's business, a copy of Tenant's then most current
certified financial statements.
27. Requirements Of Landlord's Lenders.
27.1 Financing Condition. Landlord may from time to time desire
to mortgage all or a portion of the Facility for the purpose of securing
financing from an institutional lender. In the event such institutional lender
requires, as a condition of granting Landlord such financing, that this Lease be
amended or modified, then Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after Landlord's
request, consent to and execute any such reasonable amendment or modification of
this Lease; provided, however, that such modification or amendment only concerns
(a) the lender's right to notification, (b) the lender's right to cure defaults
by Landlord, (c) requirements for the lender's consent or approval when
Landlord's consent or approval is required hereunder, (d) requirements for the
lender's prior consent or approval for any amendment, modification, or early
termination of the Lease, for any waiver of any of the terms or conditions of
the Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant, or for any estoppel certificate
to be provided by Landlord, (e) restrictions on prepayments of rent, (f) the
lender's right to require that rents be paid directly to the lender, (g) the
resolution of ambiguities or correction or errors or omissions contained in this
Lease, and/or (h) such other matters as Tenant may consent to, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. At Landlord's option, Tenant's failure to
execute and deliver such a Lease modification or amendment within the required
time shall be an Event of Default under this Lease by Tenant, without any
further notice to Tenant.
27.2 Mortgagee Protection. Tenant agrees to give any present or
future mortgagee and/or trust deed holders, by registered mail, a copy of any
notice of default served upon Landlord, provided that prior to such notice
Tenant has been notified, in writing (by way of notice of assignment of rents
and leases, or otherwise), of the address of such mortgagee and/or trust deed
holder. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such
default within the time provided for in this Lease (if any), then the
mortgagees and/or trust deed holders shall have an additional thirty (30) days
within which to cure such default or if such default
38
39
cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary
if, within such thirty (30) days, any mortgagee and/or trust deed holder has
commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default
(including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if
necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be
terminated while such remedies are being diligently pursued.
28. Substitution Of Premises. Landlord hereby reserves the right, from
time to time prior to the Commencement Date or during the Term, to relocate
Tenant to other premises in the Facility on the following terms and conditions:
(a) the new premises shall be substantially the same in size, dimensions,
configuration, decor, and quality as the Premises described in this Lease, and
shall be placed in that condition by Landlord at its cost; (b) the physical
relocation of the Premises shall be accomplished by Landlord at its cost; (c)
Landlord shall give Tenant at least sixty (60) days' notice of Landlord's
intention to relocate the Premises; (d) the physical relocation of the Premises
shall take place on a weekend, if practicable, and shall be accomplished as
quickly as reasonably practicable; (e) all reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs
incurred by Tenant as a result of the relocation, including, without limitation,
costs incurred in changing addresses on stationery, business cards, directories,
advertising, and other such items, but excluding any lost revenues or any
intangible costs, shall be paid by Landlord; (f) if the relocated premises are
smaller than the Premises as they existed before the relocation, Gross Rent
shall be reduced to a sum computed by multiplying the Gross Rent specified in
Sections 4 and 5 by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number
of rentable square feet in the relocated premises, and the denominator of which
shall be the total number of rentable square feet in the Premises before
relocation; and (g) from and after the date of such relocation and substitution,
the term "premises" as used in this Section shall mean the substituted premises
in the Facility, and Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this
Lease stating the relocation of the Premises and the reduction of Gross Rent, if
any.
29. Attorneys' Fees. In the event either party requires the services of
an attorney in connection with enforcing the terms of this Lease (including an
action or proceeding between one party and the trustee or debtor in possession
while the other party is a debtor in a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code
(Title 11 of the United States Code or any successor statute to such Code)), or
in the event suit is brought for the recovery of any amount due and owing under
this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all its costs and
expenses in connection therewith (including court costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements) from the unsuccessful party, whether
or not such action, proceeding or appeal is prosecuted to judgment or other
final determination. The term "prevailing party" shall include, without
limitation, a party who obtains legal counsel or brings an action against the
other party by reason of the other party's breach or default and obtains
substantially the relief sought, whether by compromise, settlement, or judgment.
If such prevailing party shall recover in any such action, proceeding, or
appeal, such costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys'
fees, costs and disbursements) shall be included in and as a part of such
judgment.
30. Non-Waiver. The waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any term, covenant,
agreement or condition contained in this Lease shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or of any other term, covenant,
agreement, condition or provision of this Lease. Nor shall any consent by
Landlord or Tenant in any one instance dispense with necessity of consent in any
subsequent or other instance. Nor shall any custom or practice that
39
40
may develop between the parties in the administration of this Lease be construed
to waive or lessen the right of Landlord or Tenant to insist upon performance by
the other in strict accordance with all of the terms, covenants, agreements,
conditions, and provisions of this Lease. The subsequent acceptance by Landlord
of any payment owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, or the payment of
rent by Tenant, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by
Tenant of any term, covenant, agreement, condition, or provision of this Lease,
other than the failure of Tenant to make the specific payment so accepted by
Landlord, regardless of Landlord's or Tenant's knowledge of such preceding
breach at the time of the making or acceptance of such payment.
31. Notices. All notices, notifications, demands, requests, consents,
approvals, designations, elections, and waivers that may or are required to be
given by either party to the other hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given when delivered personally, or one business day
after such notice or demand is sent by a reliable overnight courier service, or
three (3) business days after it is sent by United States certified or
registered mail, in each case with postage prepaid and the notice or demand
addressed to the other party at its address set forth in Subsection 1.1(b) of
this Lease, or to such other place as such party may from time to time by like
notice designate. Written notice given in any other manner shall have been duly
given when actually received by Landlord's manager of the Facility (in the case
of notice to Landlord) or by any of the undersigned representatives of Tenant or
any other executive level employee or officer of Tenant. If there is more than
one tenant under this Lease, then notice to any one of them shall constitute
notice to all and notice from any one of them shall constitute notice from all.
32. Joint And Several Liability. If Tenant consists of more than one
person or other entity, Tenant's obligations hereunder shall be joint and
several as between such persons and/or entities.
33. Time. Subject to provisions of Section 17 (Force Majeure), time is
of the essence of this Lease and each and all of its provisions.
34. Successors. Subject to the provisions of Section 13 (Assignment and
Subletting) and Section 25 (Sale by Landlord), and except as otherwise provided
to the contrary in this Lease, the terms, covenants, and conditions herein
contained shall apply to, bind, and inure to the benefits of the heirs,
successors, executors, administrators, and permitted assigns of the respective
parties hereto.
35. Entire Agreement. This Lease (including the exhibits, riders,
addenda, and schedules referred to herein and made a part hereof) embodies the
entire agreement between, and understanding of, the parties and supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings (oral or written) between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof. This Lease shall not be modified by any
oral agreement, either express or implied, and all modifications hereof shall be
in writing and signed by both Landlord and Tenant.
40
41
36. Restrictions On Options.
36.1 Definition. As used in this Section 36, the word "Option"
shall mean any of the following rights or options of Tenant, if any such rights
or options are granted pursuant to an addendum or other modification to this
standard lease form: (1) any right or option to extend the term of this Lease,
(2) any option or any right of first refusal or first offer to lease the
Premises or any other space within the Facility or other property of Landlord or
its affiliates, and (3) any right or option of Tenant to terminate or cancel
this Lease prior to the last day of the initial Term contemplated by Subsection
1.2(d).
36.2 Options Personal. Each Option, if any, granted to Tenant in
this Lease is personal to the original Tenant and may be exercised only by the
original Tenant while directly (and not through subleases) occupying more than
sixty percent (60%) of the Premises, and may not be exercised or assigned,
voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to any person or entity other than the
original Tenant. If the original Tenant consists of more than one person or
other entity, each such person or entity must join in the exercise of the Option
in order for it to be effective. The Options, if any, herein granted to Tenant
are not assignable separate and apart from this Lease, nor may any Option be
separated from this Lease in any manner, by reservation or otherwise.
36.3 Multiple Options. In the event that Tenant has multiple
Options to extend or renew the term of this Lease, a later Option cannot be
exercised unless the prior Option to extend or renew this Lease has been so
exercised.
36.4 Strict Enforcement of Conditions and Limitations Upon
Options.
36.4.1 Tenant hereby specifically acknowledges and agrees
that the time limitations upon the exercise of any Option will be strictly
enforced, that any attempt to exercise such Option at any other time shall be
void and of no force or effect, and that if any such Option is not exercised
within the applicable time period, Landlord intends immediately thereafter to
undertake appropriate efforts relating to the marketing or management of the
space affected by the Option. The period of time within which an Option may be
exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant's inability to
exercise such Option because of the provisions of this Subsection or for any
other reason whatsoever.
36.4.2 Tenant further agrees that if Tenant is in default
hereunder on the date of giving the required notice of exercise of such Option,
such notice shall be totally ineffective, and if Tenant is in default hereunder
on the date any extension or renewal of the term of this Lease was to commence,
such extension or renewal of the term shall not commence, and this Lease shall
expire at the end of the Term as theretofore in effect. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Lease to the contrary, all Options shall automatically be
void, and shall have no effect, upon the commencement of any holdover by Tenant
after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding delivery of a notice
of exercise of Option Tenant shall have failed to make timely payment of any

times during the twenty-four (24) month period immediately preceding
41

38. Authorization To Sign Lease. If Tenant is a corporation, each
individual executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant represents and warrants that
he/she is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of Tenant
in accordance with a duly adopted resolution
42
43
of Tenant's Board of Directors, and that this Lease is binding upon Tenant in
accordance with its terms, and Tenant shall, concurrently with its execution of
this Lease, deliver to Landlord upon its request a certified copy of a
resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of this Lease. If
Tenant is a partnership or trust, each individual executing this Lease on behalf
of Tenant represents and warrants that he/she is duly authorized to execute and
deliver this Lease on behalf of Tenant in accordance with the terms of such
entity's partnership agreement or trust agreement, respectively, and that this
Lease is binding upon Tenant in accordance with its terms, and Tenant shall,
concurrently with its execution of this Lease, deliver to Landlord upon its
request such certificates or written assurances from the partnership or trust as
Landlord may request authorizing the execution of this Lease. If Tenant consists
of more than one legal entity, the foregoing representations, warranties, and
covenants shall apply to any such entity that is a corporation or partnership,
as the case may be. Each individual signing this Lease on behalf of Tenant shall
personally indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord from and against any
claim arising out of any actual or alleged breach or inaccuracy of any of the
foregoing representations and warranties or any loss suffered by reason thereof.
39. Broker Participation. In consideration for brokerage services
rendered to Landlord in this transaction, Landlord shall pay its licensed real
estate broker named in Subsection 1.1(j) a commission as set forth in a separate
agreement between Landlord and said broker. Tenant's broker, if any is named in
Subsection 1.1(j), will be paid its commission from a portion of the commission
paid to Landlord's Broker, as set forth in a separate agreement between
Landlord's Broker and Tenant's Broker. Except as otherwise set forth in the
preceding sentence, each party agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
the other party from any claim or loss arising out of any actual or alleged
dealings of the indemnifying party with any real estate broker, agents or finder
in connection with this transaction.
40. Survival Of Certain Rights And Obligations. The respective parties'
remedies, payment obligations, indemnities, waivers and releases under this
Lease, with respect to Tenant's use or possession of the Premises during the
Term and any holdover period, and with respect any cost or expense incurred
during or with respect to the Term or any holdover period, shall survive the
termination of this Lease.
41. Parking. Landlord shall have the right, by written notice to Tenant,
to designate specific areas of the Facility for employee parking. If Landlord
designates an employee parking area, then automobiles of Tenant, its employees,
and agents shall not park within the parking area except in areas delineated by
Landlord as "employee parking." Subject to the foregoing, Tenant shall be
entitled to use, in common with other tenants and Landlord, the number of
undesignated vehicle parking spaces allocated to Tenant in Subsection 1.1(k).
Tenant's use of such parking spaces shall be subject to payment by Tenant of
such standard monthly parking rates, if any, as may be charged from time to time
to persons other than the officers and employees of Landlord and its affiliates,
and subject to such rules and regulations as may be established or altered from
time to time by Landlord or its manager of such parking facilities. At
Landlord's request, Tenant (or its designated employees with parking privileges)
shall enter into parking licenses or lease agreements or other arrangements then
in use by Landlord (or Landlord's operator of the parking facilities) with
respect to such monthly parking. Tenant agrees not to overburden the parking
facilities and agrees to cooperate with Landlord and other tenants in the use of
parking facilities. Landlord reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to
43
44
determine whether parking facilities are becoming crowded and, in such event, to
allocate and assign parking spaces among Tenant and other tenants. Upon request,
Tenant shall provide Landlord with the license plate numbers of all vehicles
used at the Facility by Tenant's employees. In the event that, pursuant to any
modification or amendment to this standard form lease, Tenant is at any time
given any right to the exclusive use of any designated parking stalls or
facilities, Landlord shall nevertheless have the right from time to time to
substitute other designated parking stalls or facilities therefor, so long as
such substitute stalls or facilities are, in Landlord's judgment, reasonably
comparable. If Tenant parks more vehicles in the Facility's parking area than
are permitted under this Section, Landlord shall have the right, without
limitation to Landlord's other remedies under this Lease, to collect from Tenant
a daily charge, to be determined by Landlord, for each such additional vehicle.
42. Severability. Should any provision of this Lease be illegal, void,
invalid, inoperative, or unenforceable, no other provision of this Lease shall
be affected thereby, and the remainder of this Lease shall be effective as
though such illegal, void, invalid, inoperative, or unenforceable provision had
not been included herein.
43. Certain Rights Reserved By Landlord. Landlord hereby expressly
reserves the rights set forth in the Subsections of this Section 43. Such rights
shall be exercisable (a) without notice, (b) without liability to Tenant for
damage or injury to property, persons, or business, (c) without effecting a
constructive or actual eviction of Tenant or disturbance of Tenant's use,
possession, or enjoyment of its Premises, and (d) without giving rise to any
claim for setoff or abatement of rent. The enumeration of such rights of
Landlord in the following Subsections is not intended to limit any other rights
of Landlord, whether expressed or implied, at law or under other provisions of
this Lease.
43.1 Landlord shall have the right to decorate and make repairs,
alterations, additions, changes, and/or improvements, whether structural or
otherwise, in and about the Building and elsewhere in the Facility, including,
without limitation, construction of additional buildings or other new
improvements and changes in the location, size, shape, and number of driveways,
entrances, parking spaces, parking areas, loading and unloading areas, ingress,
egress, direction of traffic, landscaped areas, sidewalks, and walkways. For
such purposes Landlord may enter upon the Premises and, during the continuance
of any such work, temporarily close doors, entryways, public space and corridors
in the Building or elsewhere in the Facility, to interrupt or temporarily
suspend building services and facilities and to change the arrangement and
location of entrances, or passageways, doors and doorways, corridors, elevators,
stairs, toilets, or other public parts of the Building or Facility, all without
abatement of rent and without affecting any of Tenant's obligations hereunder,
except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease (e.g., Subsections 21.2 and
23.6).
43.2 Landlord shall have the right to designate additional land
outside the current boundaries of the Facility to be a part of the Common Areas.
43.3 Landlord shall have the right to take all such reasonable
measures as Landlord may deem advisable for the security of the Building or the
Facility and their occupants, including, without limitation, the search or any
person entering or leaving the Building, the evacuation of the Building (or any
part thereof) for cause, suspected cause, or for drill purposes,
44
45
the temporary denial of access to the Building (or any part thereof), and the
closing of the Building after normal business hours and on Sundays and holidays,
subject, however, to Tenant's right to admittance, when the Building is so
closed, under such reasonable regulations as Landlord may prescribe from time to
time.
44. Waiver Of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, OR RELATED TO, THE SUBJECT
MATTER OF THIS LEASE. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, AND VOLUNTARILY
MADE BY TENANT AND TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NEITHER LANDLORD NOR ANY PERSON
ACTING ON BEHALF OF LANDLORD HAS MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT TO INDUCE THIS
WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR IN ANY WAY TO MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. TENANT

BE REPRESENTED) IN THE SIGNING OF THIS LEASE AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY
INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL. TENANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE MEANING AND RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER
PROVISION AND AS EVIDENCE OF THIS FACT SIGNS ITS INITIALS.
/s/ P. G. L. TENANT'S INITIALS
--------------
45. Interpretation. The words "Landlord" and "Tenant" as used herein
shall include the plural as well as the singular and, when appropriate, shall
refer to action taken by or on behalf of Landlord or Tenant by their respective
employees, agents, or authorized representatives. Words in masculine gender
include the feminine and neuter. The titles of the Sections, Subsections, and
other provisions of this Lease are for convenience only and they shall not in
any way limit or amplify the terms or provisions of this Lease. All provisions,
whether covenants or conditions, on the part of Tenant shall be deemed to be
both covenants and conditions. In the event of variation or discrepancy, the
duplicate original of this Lease (including Exhibits, if any) held by Landlord
shall control. This Lease shall in all respects be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State where the Facility is located,
and any litigation concerning this Lease between the parties hereto shall be
initiated in the county where the Facility is located.
46. Cooperation With Government Sponsored Programs. Tenant hereby
covenants and agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to participate in and
cooperate with the requirements of any and all government promulgated or
sponsored programs adopted for the Building or the Facility concerning
transportation system management, child care facilities, recycling, energy or
water conservation, safety, or the like.
47. Parties To Act Reasonably And In Good Faith. Except in those
instances where this Lease provides for a contrary standard, whenever in this
Lease the consent or approval of the Landlord or Tenant is required, such
consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except,
however, with respect to any Landlord consent, for matters which could possibly
have an adverse effect on the Building's plumbing, heating, mechanical, life
safety,
45
46
ventilation, air conditioning, or electrical systems, which could affect the
structural integrity of the Building, or which could affect the exterior
appearance of the Building, Landlord may withhold such consent or approval in
its sole discretion but shall act in good faith). Except in those instances
where a contrary standard or right is set forth in this Lease, whenever the
Landlord or Tenant is granted a right to take action, exercise discretion, or
make an allocation, judgment, or other determination, such party shall act
reasonably and in good faith and take no action that might result in the
frustration of the reasonable expectations of a sophisticated tenant and a
sophisticated landlord concerning the benefits to be enjoyed under this Lease.
48. Offer. Preparation of this Lease by Landlord or Landlord's agent and
submission of same to Tenant shall not be deemed an offer to lease and neither
party shall act in reliance on said Lease being thereafter signed. This Lease
shall become binding upon Landlord and Tenant only when fully executed by both
Landlord and Tenant; provided, however, that in the event Landlord or Landlord's
agent permits Tenant to take occupancy of all or any portion of the Premises
without Landlord first having executed this Lease, then in the event that
Landlord elects not to execute this Lease, Tenant's occupancy of the Premises
shall automatically be deemed to be a tenancy-at-will, subject to all the terms,
provisions, and conditions of this Lease, except those terms, provisions, and
conditions pertaining to the Term. Any such tenancy-at-will may be terminated by
Landlord or Tenant upon five (3) days' prior notice to the other party.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Lease as of the date
first set forth above, acknowledging that each party has carefully read each and
every provision of this Lease, that each party has freely entered into this
Lease of its own free will and volition, and that the terms, conditions, and
provisions of this Lease are commercially reasonable as of said date.

LEASE RIDER NO. 1
This Lease Rider is attached to and made a part of that certain Standard
Form Lease dated January 31, 1996, by and between Casiopea Venture Corporation,
as ("Landlord,") and Virage, Inc., as ("Tenant,") for the Premises known as 000
Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx.
The capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have
the same definitions as set forth in the Lease. The provisions of this Lease
Rider shall supersede any inconsistent or conflicting provisions of the Lease.
1. Option To Extend Term.
1.1 Grant of Option. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option
(the "Option") to extend the Term of the Lease for an additional consecutive
term of five (5) years (the "Extension"), on the same terms and conditions as
set forth in the Lease, except the Monthly Rent shall be the amount determined
as set forth below. The Option shall be exercised only by written notice
delivered to Landlord at least one hundred eighty (180) days before the
expiration of the initial Term of the Lease. If Tenant fails to deliver to
Landlord written notice of the exercise of the Option within the time period
prescribed above, the Option shall be exercisable by Tenant on the express
conditions that (i) at the time of the exercise of the Option, and thereafter at
all times prior to the commencement of the Extension, an Event of Default shall
not have occurred and be continuing under the Lease, and (ii) Tenant has not
been ten (10) or more days late in the payment of Rent more than a total of
three (3) times during the Term of the Lease. If Tenant properly exercises the
Option, "Term," as used herein and in the Lease, shall be deemed to include the
Extension, unless specified otherwise herein or in the Lease.
1.2 Personal Option. The Option is personal to Tenant. If Tenant
subleases or assigns or otherwise transfers any interest under the Lease prior
to the exercise of the Option, the Option shall lapse. If Tenant subleases or
assigns or otherwise transfers any interest of Tenant under the Lease after the
exercise of the Option but prior to the commencement of the Extension, the
Option shall lapse and the Term of the Lease shall expire as if the Option were
not exercised.
2. Calculation of Monthly Rent.
2.1 Initial Monthly Rent. The Monthly Rent during the extension
shall be increased, as of the commencement of the Extension (the "Rental
Adjustment Date") to the "Fair Market Value" of the Premises, determined in the
following manner: Not later than one hundred (100) days prior to the Rental
Adjustment Date, Landlord and Tenant shall meet in an effort to negotiate, in
good faith, the Fair Market Value of the Premises as of the Rental Adjustment
Date. If Landlord and Tenant have not agreed upon the Fair Market Value of the
Premises at least ninety (90) days prior to the Rental Adjustment Date, the Fair
Market Value shall be determined by the following appraisal method:
2.1.1 If Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree upon
the Fair Market Value of the Premises within the time period described above,
then Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree in good faith upon a single
appraiser not later than seventy-five (75) days prior
1
48
to the Rental Adjustment Date. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a
single appraiser within such time period, then Landlord and Tenant shall each
appoint an appraiser not later than sixty-five (65) days prior to the Rental
Adjustment Date, and Landlord and Tenant shall each give written notice to the
other of such appointment at the time of such appointment. Within ten (10) days
thereafter, the two appointed appraisers shall appoint a third appraiser. If
either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint its appraiser and to give written
notice thereof to the other party within the prescribed time period, the single
appraiser appointed shall determine the Fair Market Value of the Premises. If
both parties fail to appoint appraiser within the prescribed time periods, then
the first appraiser thereafter selected by a party (such selection to be by
written notice thereof to such appraiser and the other party) shall determine
the Fair Market Value of the Premises. Each party shall bear the cost of its own
appraiser and the parties shall share equally the cost of the single or third
appraiser if applicable. All appraisers shall have at least five (5) years'
experience in the appraisal of commercial/industrial real property in the area
in which the Premises are located and shall be members of professional
organization such as MAI or its equivalent.
2.1.2 For the purposes of such appraisal, the term "Fair
Market Value" shall mean the price that a ready and willing tenant would pay, as
of the Rental Adjustment Date, as monthly rent, to a ready and willing Landlord
of property comparable to the Premises if such property were exposed for Lease
on the open market for a reasonable period of time and taking into account all
of the purposes for which such property may be used. If a single appraiser is
chosen, then such appraiser shall determine the Fair Market Value of the
Premises. Otherwise, the Fair Market Value of the Premises shall be the
arithmetic average of the two (2) of the three (3) appraisals which are closest
in amount, and the third appraisal shall be disregarded. Landlord and Tenant
shall instruct the appraisers to complete their determination of the Fair Market
Value not later than thirty (30) days prior to the Rental Adjustment Date. If
the Fair Market Value is not determined prior to the Rental Adjustment Date,
then Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord the Monthly Rent applicable to the
Premises immediately prior to the Rental Adjustment Date until the Fair Market
Value is determined. When the Fair Market Value of the Premises is determined,
Landlord shall deliver notice thereof to Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, the difference
between the Monthly Rent actually paid by Tenant to Landlord for the period
after the Rental Adjustment Date and the new Monthly Rent determined hereunder
effective as of the Rental Adjustment Date. In no event shall the Monthly Rent
be reduced below the Monthly Rent applicable to the Premises immediately prior
to the Rental Adjustment Date.

4. CONSTRUCTION OF TENANT IMPROVEMENT'S
After the Final Approval Date has occurred and a building permit
for the work has been issued, Landlord shall, through a construction contract
("Construction Contract") with a reputable, licensed contractor selected by
Landlord ("Contractor"), cause the construction of the Tenant Improvements to be
carried out in substantial conformance with the Working Drawings in a good and
workmanlike manner using first class materials. The costs associated with the
construction of the Tenant Improvements shall be paid as set forth in Section 5
and 6 of this Work Letter. Landlord shall see that the construction complies
with all applicable building, fire, health, and sanitary codes and regulations,
the satisfaction of which shall be evidenced by a certificate of occupancy for
the Premises. Landlord or Contractor shall maintain a comprehensive general
liability insurance policy with a limit of not less than One Million Dollars
($1,000,000.00) to insure against bodily injury and property damage during the
construction work prior to the Lease Commencement Date.
5. TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE
Landlord shall provide Tenant with a Tenant Improvement Allowance
towards the cost of the design, purchase and construction of the Tenant
Improvements, including without limitation design, engineering and consulting
fees (collectively, the "Tenant Improvement Costs"). The Tenant Improvement
Allowance shall be used for payment of the following Tenant Improvement Costs:
(i) Preparation by Landlord's Architect of the Preliminary Space
Plans and the Working Drawings as provided in Section 2 of this Work Letter,
including without limitation all fees charged by City (including without
limitation fees for building permits and plan checks) in connection with the
Tenant Improvements work in the Premises;
(ii) Construction work for completion of the Tenant Improvements
as reflected in the Construction Contract;
(iii) All contractor's charges, general conditions, performance
bond premiums and construction fees; and
(iv) Tenant Improvements as shown on the approved Preliminary
Space Plans dated January 9, 1996, attached hereto as Schedule "A-2".
In the event that Tenant does request modifications, changes or
alterations of the Tenant Improvements from what is shown on said approved
Preliminary Space Plans, or causes any Tenant Delays as defined in Section 7 or
this Work Letter, then all associated costs shall be borne by Tenant. If Tenant
does seek to modify, change or alter the Tenant Improvements from the approved
Preliminary Space Plans, or does cause a Tenant Delay, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord any excess costs resulting therefrom in accordance with Section 6 of
this Work Letter.
6. CHANGE ORDERS
Tenant may from time to time request and obtain change orders
before or during the course of construction provided that: (i) each such request
shall be reasonable, shall be in
3
57
writing and signed by or on behalf of Tenant, and shall not result in any
structural change in the Building, as reasonably determined by Landlord, (ii)
all additional charges and costs, including without limitation architectural and
engineering costs, construction and material costs, and processing costs of any
governmental entity shall be the sole and exclusive obligation of Tenant, and
(iii) any resulting delay in the completion of the Tenant Improvements shall be
deemed a Tenant Delay and in no event shall extend the Commencement Date of the
Lease. Upon Tenant's request for a change order, Landlord shall as soon as
reasonably possible submit to Tenant a written estimate of the increased or
decreased cost and anticipated delay if any, attributable to such requested
change. Within three (3) business days of the date such estimated cost
adjustments and delays are delivered to Tenant, Tenant shall advise Landlord
whether it wishes to proceed with the change order, and if Tenant elects to
proceed with the change order, Tenant shall remit, concurrently with Tenant's
notice to proceed, the amount of the increased costs, if any, attributable to
such change order. Unless Tenant includes in its initial change order request
that the work in process at the time such request is made be halted pending
approval and execution of a change order, Landlord shall not be obligated to
stop construction of the Tenant Improvements, whether or not the change order
relates to the work then in process or about to be started.
7. TENANT DELAYS
In no event shall the Commencement Date of the Lease be extended
or delayed due or attributable to delays due to the fault of Tenant ("Tenant
Delays"). Tenant Delays shall include, but are not limited to, delays caused by
or resulting from any one or more of the following:
a) Tenant's failure to timely review and reasonably approve the
Working Drawings or to furnish information to Landlord or Landlord's Architect
for the preparation by Landlord or Landlord's Architect of the Working Drawings;
b) Tenant's request for or use of special materials, finishes or
installations which are not readily available, provided that Landlord shall
notify Tenant in writing that the particular material, finish, or installation
is not readily available promptly upon Landlord's discovery of same;
c) Change orders requested by Tenant;
d) Interference by Tenant or by Tenant's Agents with Landlord's
construction activities;
e) Tenant's failure to approve any other item or perform any
other obligation in accordance with and by the dates specified herein or in the
Construction Contract;
f) Tenant's requested changes in the Preliminary Space Plans,
Working Drawings or any other plans and specifications after the approval
thereof by Tenant or submission thereof by Tenant to Landlord;
g) Tenant's failure to approve written estimates of costs in
accordance with this Work Letter; and
4
58
h) Tenant's obtaining or failure to obtain any necessary
governmental approvals or permits for Tenant's intended use of the Premises.
If the Commencement Date of the lease is delayed by any Tenant delays,
whether or not within the control of Tenant, then the Commencement Date of the
Lease and the payment of Rent shall be accelerated by the number of days of such
delay. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice within a reasonable time of any
circumstance that Landlord believes constitute a Tenant Delay.
8. TRADE FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant is solely responsible
for obtaining, delivering and installing in the Premises all necessary and
desired furniture, trade fixtures, equipment and other similar items, and that
Landlord shall have no responsibility whatsoever with regard thereto. Tenant
further acknowledges and agrees that neither the Commencement Date of the Lease
nor the payment of Rent shall be delayed for any period of time whatsoever due
to any delay in the furnishing of the Premises with such items.
9. FAILURE OF TENANT TO COMPLY
Any failure of Tenant to comply with any of the provisions
contained in this Work Letter within the times for compliance herein set forth
shall be deemed a default under the Lease. In addition to the remedies provided
to Landlord in this Work Letter upon the occurrence of such a default by Tenant,
Landlord shall have all remedies available at law or equity to a landlord
against a defaulting tenant pursuant to a written lease, including but not
limited to those set forth in the Lease.

rekey or install, or cause to be rekeyed or installed, any lockset on any door
except in the foregoing manner. All such locksets and keys shall be keyed to the

such premises, the cost (including labor and materials) of rekeying all locks
keyed to such lost keys. Upon termination of occupancy of its premises, each
tenant shall also deliver to Landlord all keys to any other locks remaining in
the premises and shall give Landlord written notice of the combinations of any

thinner, acids, caustics, insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, corrosives,
flammable explosives, asbestos, PCBs, vinyl chloride, cyanide solutions, urea
formaldehyde, waste chemicals, sludges, radioactive materials, infectious or

abnormalities, cancer, reproductive harm, or genetic abnormalities. No tenant
shall cause or permit any Hazardous Substance to be brought upon or kept, used,

such first named tenant to comply with these rules and regulations, but Landlord
shall have no liability for such failure or for failing or being unable to

tenants for certain costs and expenses pursuant to these rules and regulations
shall not impose any obligation upon Landlord to impose or collect such charges
from any such particular tenant, and in the event Landlord, for whatever reason,

included in the calculation of building operating expenses for purposes of
determining each tenant's percentage share of increases therein in accordance
with the provisions of its lease.
43. Waivers. Landlord may waive any one or more of these rules and
regulations for the benefit of any particular tenant or tenants, but no such
waiver by Landlord shall constitute a waiver of such rule or regulation in favor
of any other tenant.

these rules and regulations and to make such changes therein, and add such other
and further rules and regulations, as Landlord in its reasonable judgment shall,
