party, upon the reasonable request of the other party or a public utility,
shall execute any and all documents reasonably necessary for the creation of
utility easements and rights-of-way to service the Property and/or which are
required by Law. Tenant reserves the right to request variances, zoning
amendments, approvals and/or permits in connection with Tenant's use and

to execute any such application or request and not object to the filing
thereof. Without limiting the generality of Section 14.29 below, the
foregoing shall not limit in any way the City's rights, powers and authority
under its police powers. Subject to the terms of this Lease and the DDA,
Tenant
-20-
covenants to keep and perform each and all of the terms, covenants and
conditions to be kept and performed by Tenant hereunder. Subject to the
terms of this Lease and the DDA, Landlord covenants that Tenant shall at all
times during the term of this Lease peaceably and quietly have, hold and
enjoy the Tenant's Estate and all rights attendant thereto without
interference by Landlord or any person claiming the same by, through or under

such application or request and not object to the filing thereof. Without
limiting the generality of Section 14.29 below, the foregoing shall not limit
in any way the City's rights, powers and authority under its police powers.
Tenant, at its cost, shall comply with the provisions of the Subdivision Map
Act (California Government Code Sections 66410, ET SEQ.) and the Subdivision
Ordinance of the City of Mountain View in creating the additional Parcels.
If the City is the Landlord, Landlord shall consider and process Tenant's

Agreement and applicable Law. Additionally, if City is the Landlord, it
shall have the power to evaluate and reasonably approve or disapprove any
proposed subdivision (including, without limitation, Tenant's request or
application therefor) based on its interest as a property owner. No
subdivision plan may permit any Building to be located on more than one (1)
Parcel. As soon as reasonably possible, but in any event within thirty (30)
days after creation of each Parcel, Landlord and Tenant shall restate this
Lease ("Parcel Lease") for each Parcel upon the same terms
-21-
and conditions as this Lease, except that Monthly Rent shall be equitably

end of the fifty-fifth (55th) Year Of The Lease Term.
2.4.2 OPTION TERMS. Tenant shall have four (4) options to

option (an "Option Term"). In order to exercise any such option to extend
granted by this section, Tenant must notify Landlord in writing of its
election to exercise such option to extend not later than one hundred eighty
(180) days prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, or, as the case may be,
the Lease Term as extended by the prior exercise of any option to extend
granted by this section. The options may be exercised individually or

the term of the exercised options, does not exceed fifty-five (55) calendar
years. If any options are exercised together, Monthly Rent revaluation
pursuant to Section 3.1.3 hereof shall nevertheless occur at the time and as
if the renewal options were exercised serially. If Tenant fails to timely
exercise any renewal option, then all subsequent renewal options shall be
null and void and Tenant shall have no right to renew this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to renew this Lease
(i) if on the date Tenant exercises the renewal options, or (ii) if Tenant
exercises only one option, on the date immediately preceding the commencement
date of the applicable Option Term, or (iii) if Tenant exercises more than
one option simultaneously, on the commencement date of the first such Option
Term, there exists an uncured Event of Default under this Lease. Tenant's
lease of the Property for each such Option Term shall be upon all of the same
terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease. After the exercise
of any option to extend, all references in this Lease to the Lease Term shall
be considered to mean the Lease Term as extended, and all references to
termination or
-23-
to the end of the Lease Term shall be considered to mean the termination or
end of the Lease Term as extended. If Tenant exercises any such option, then
each party shall, at the request of the other, execute a memorandum, in
recordable form, acknowledging the fact that the option has been exercised
and otherwise complying with the requirements of Law for an effective
memorandum of lease.

condition, excepting ordinary wear and tear, damage and destruction which
Tenant is not required to restore pursuant to Article 8, condemnation which
Tenant is not required to restore pursuant to Article 9, and Contamination

of the Lease Term, then Tenant shall have a period of ninety (90) days
thereafter, or such longer period as reasonably may be necessary (not to
exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) to remove its Trade Fixtures and
personal property, provided that Tenant pays Monthly Rent for each month of
the removal period and, during the removal period, pays any and all other
rent or charges and amounts and complies with all covenants and obligations
of Tenant under this Lease, except for those payments and covenants which
were to be performed prior to the termination date of this Lease (and during
such removal period Tenant shall not be liable for holdover rent pursuant to
Section 14.3 below). Upon such termination, title to the Leasehold
Improvements then existing on the Property automatically
-24-
shall vest in Landlord. In no event shall the provisions hereof impose any
obligation upon Tenant to restore and/or reconstruct Leasehold Improvements
that are demolished or removed or to restore and/or reconstruct Leasehold
Improvements following any damage, casualty loss, or condemnation, unless
Tenant is required to do so by Article 8 or Article 9 hereof. On the date

deliver to Landlord such proper and executed instruments in recordable form,

interest of Tenant and any other party claiming by or through Tenant or

Property and Leasehold Improvements, and that title to the Leasehold

Date under Section 3.1.3.1 or 3.1.3.2, the "Fair Market Value" of the
Property shall be determined based upon the following assumptions:
(1) Fair Market Value shall be
based on the value of the entire original Property, without regard to whether
this Lease has been parcelized pursuant to Section 2.2, above, unencumbered
by this Ground Lease, except insofar as the Property have been reduced by
eminent domain or condemnation by any Governmental Authority.
(2) Fair Market Value shall not be
determined based on a theoretical highest and best use of the Property and/or
the Leasehold Improvements, but instead Fair Market Value shall be determined
based on the use
-32-
then being made by Tenant of the Property and the Leasehold Improvements and
the FAR based on the Floor Area of all of the then-existing Buildings on the
date of the determination (or which would be applicable on such date if
Tenant had performed its obligations under Articles 8 and 9 of this Lease
following any casualty or condemnation). However, the value of the Leasehold
Improvements themselves shall not increase or decrease the Fair Market Value
of the Property.
(3) Fair Market Value shall be
based on the value of the Property to a third party and shall not be
increased because of any possible premium associated with the special needs
of Tenant or uses of the Leasehold Improvements by Tenant, or the proximity
of the Property to other buildings occupied by Tenant.
(4) Fair Market Value shall not be
reduced by demolition costs or other costs necessary to return the Property
to an unimproved buildable parcel.
(5) Fair Market Value shall not
consider the Monthly Rent prior to the Rent Adjustment Date, the Rent
Escalations pursuant to Sections 3.1.2 and 3.1.4, the Fair Market Rate of
Return to be applied to the Fair Market Value of the Property pursuant to
Subsection B, below, or the frequency of any future Rent Adjustment Dates.
(6) If Parcel Leases have been
created pursuant to Section 2.2, the Fair Market Value of the Property
determined in accordance with the foregoing shall be allocated between the
Parcels created pursuant to Section 2.2
-33-
in the same proportion as the Monthly Rent was allocated between said Parcels
on the date of such parcelization.
B. FAIR MARKET RATE OF RETURN. Landlord
and Tenant agree that for purposes of establishing Initial Monthly Rent the
fair market rate of return to Landlord for this Lease has been deemed by the
parties to be seven percent (7%). On each Rent Adjustment Date requiring
redetermination of the Fair Market Rate of Return under Section 3.1.3.2, the
"Fair Market Rate Of Return" shall be determined based upon the following
assumptions:
(1) Fair Market Rate Of Return
shall be based on the rate of return a private third party ground lessor
typically would expect to receive for property comparable to the Property,
unencumbered by this Lease;
(2) Fair Market Rate Of Return
shall not be determined based on a theoretical highest and best use of the
Property and/or the Leasehold Improvements, but instead Fair Market Rate Of
Return shall be determined based on the use then being made by Tenant of the
Property and the Leasehold Improvements and the FAR based upon the Building
Square Footage of all of the then-existing Buildings and all of the Property
on the date of the determination (or which would be applicable on such date
if Tenant had performed its obligations under Articles 8 and 9 of this Lease
following any casualty or condemnation). However, the value of the Leasehold
Improvements shall not increase or decrease the Fair Market Rate Of Return.
-34-
(3) Fair Market Rate Of Return
shall not exceed nine and one-half percent (9.5%) nor be less than four and
one-half percent (4.5%) per annum.
C. GENERAL PROCEDURE. The Fair Market
Value and, if required by Section 3.1.3.2, the Fair Market Rate Of Return,
shall be determined by agreement between Landlord and Tenant. Negotiations
for redetermination shall begin one (1) year before each Rent Adjustment
Date. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement on the Fair Market
Value and Fair Market Rate Of Return within two hundred forty (240) days
before the Rent Adjustment Date, Landlord and Tenant each, at its cost and by
giving notice to the other party, shall appoint a competent M.A.I. real
estate appraiser, unlikely to be unduly influenced by either party, with at
least ten (10) years' commercial/ground lease appraisal experience in San
Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Xxxxx Counties, to appraise and set the Fair
Market Value, and, if required, the Fair Market Rate Of Return.
If either Landlord or Tenant does not appoint an appraiser within
ten (10) days after the other party has given written notice of the name of
its appraiser, the single appraiser appointed shall be the sole appraiser and
shall set the Fair Market Value and, if required, the Fair Market Rate Of
Return. If two (2) appraisers are appointed by Landlord and Tenant as stated
in this subsection, they shall meet promptly and attempt to set the Fair
Market Value and, if required, the Fair Market Rate of Return. If the two
(2) appraisers are unable to agree within thirty (30) days after the second
appraiser has been appointed, they shall attempt to select a third appraiser
meeting the qualifications stated in this subsection within ten (10) days
-35-
after the last day the two (2) appraisers are given to set Fair Market Value
and, if required, Fair Market Rate Of Return.
If they are unable to agree on the third appraiser, either Landlord
or Tenant, by giving ten (10) days' prior written notice to the other party,
may apply to the then president of the Real Estate Board of Santa Xxxxx
County, or to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of Santa Xxxxx
County, as the applying party may elect, for the selection of a third
appraiser who meets the qualifications stated in this subsection (provided
that if both parties make such application for appointment of a third
appraiser, the appointment pursuant to the application which is first in time
shall determine the third appraiser). Landlord and Tenant each shall bear
one-half (1/2) of the cost of appointing the third appraiser and of paying
the third appraiser's fee. The third appraiser, however selected, shall be a
person who is unlikely to be unduly influenced by either party. Within
thirty (30) days after the selection of the third appraiser, a majority of
the appraisers shall set the Fair Market Value and, if required, the Fair
Market Rate Of Return for the ten (10) Years Of The Lease Term at issue.
If a majority of the appraisers is unable to set the Fair Market
Value or, if required, the Fair Market Rate Of Return, within the stipulated
period of time, Landlord or Tenant's appraiser shall arrange for simultaneous
exchange of written appraisals of the Fair Market Value or, if required, the
Fair Market Rate Of Return, as appropriate, from each of the appraisers and
the three (3) appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by
three (3); the resulting quotient shall be the Fair Market Value or, if
required, the Fair Market Rate Of Return for the ten (10) Years Of The Lease
Term at issue. If, however, the low appraisal and/or the high appraisal
-36-
are/is more than ten percent (10%) lower and/or higher than the middle
appraisal, the low appraisal and/or the high appraisal of the Fair Market
Value or, if required, the Fair Market Rate Of Return, as appropriate, shall
be disregarded.
If only one (1) appraisal is disregarded, the remaining two (2)
shall be added together and their total divided by two (2); the resulting
quotient shall be the Fair Market Value or, if required, the Fair Market Rate
Of Return, as appropriate. If both the low appraisal and the high appraisal
are disregarded as stated in this subsection, the middle appraisal shall be
the Fair Market Value or, if required, the Fair Market Rate Of Return, as
appropriate. After the Fair Market Value and, if required, the Fair Market
Rate Of Return, for the ten (10) Years Of The Lease Term at issue has been
set, the appraisers shall immediately notify Landlord and Tenant, and
Landlord and Tenant promptly shall execute an amendment to this Lease stating
the Fair Market Value, and, if required, the Fair Market Rate Of Return, and
resulting Monthly Rent. The Monthly Rent at each redetermination may be
either increased or decreased to reflect the Fair Market Value and, if
appropriate pursuant to Section 3.1.3.2, the Fair Market Rate Of Return as of
the redetermination date, subject only to the restrictions on reduction
contained in Sections 3.1.3.1 and 3.1.3.2, above.
If the Rent Adjustment Date occurs prior to determination of the
readjusted rent under the within appraisal procedure, the Monthly Rent as of
the Rent Adjustment Date shall be one hundred four percent (104%) of the
Monthly Rental as of the Lease Month immediately preceding the Rent
Adjustment Date, and shall be increased by four percent (4%) on each
anniversary of the Rental Adjustment Date until the readjusted rent is
determined. When the readjusted rent is
-37-
determined, it shall be retroactively effective from the Rental Adjustment
Date. Within ten (10) days of the determination of the adjusted rent, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord the amount, if any, which the adjusted rent for the
period after the Rental Adjustment Date exceeds the amounts paid by Tenant
after the Rental Adjustment Date, and Landlord shall pay to Tenant, the
amount, if any, by which said adjusted rent is less than the amounts so paid
by Tenant. In either event, the amount paid to either Landlord or Tenant
shall include interest on the over or underpayment at the Lease Rate from the
date the payment was first due until reimbursed.
3.1.4 CONTINUING ESCALATION. Commencing with the first day
of each Year Of The Lease Term immediately following the Year Of The Lease
Term which contains a Rental Adjustment Date, and continuing on the first day
of each of the nine ensuing Years Of The Lease Term until the next succeeding
Rental Adjustment Date, Monthly Rent in the amount established by
redetermination for such ten (10) Years Of The Lease Term (as described in
Section 3.1.3) shall be increased to an amount equal to one hundred four
percent (104%) of the Monthly Rent due for the immediately preceding Year Of
The Lease Term. (For example, Monthly Rent determined for the twelfth (12th)
Year Of The Lease Term shall be equal to one hundred four percent (104%) of
the Monthly Rent determined on the first Rental Adjustment Date (i.e., the
first day of the eleventh (11th) Year Of The Lease Term) and shall be further
increased by four percent (4%) over the Monthly Rent due for the immediately
preceding Year Of The Lease Term at the beginning of the thirteenth (13th)
through twentieth (20th) Years Of The Lease Term. On the second Rent
Adjustment Date (i.e., the first day of the twenty-first (21st) Year Of The
Lease Term), Monthly Rent will again be revalued in accordance with Section
3.1.3.3, and said Monthly Rent shall be increased by four percent (4%) over
the Monthly Rent
-38-
due for the immediately preceding Year Of The Lease Term at the beginning of
each of the ensuing Years Of The Lease Term until the next Rental Adjustment
Date, when the Monthly Rent shall again be restated in accordance with
Section 3.1.3, above, and so on throughout the Lease Term.)
3.1.5 PRORATION. If the Commencement Date occurs on a day
other than the first day of a calendar month, or if this Lease terminates on
a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the Monthly Rent shall be
prorated based on the actual number of days of the calendar month at issue.
3.2 PAYMENT OF RENT. The Monthly Rent shall be paid in advance in
monthly installments due on the Commencement Date and on the first day of
each calendar month thereafter during the Lease Term. All rent shall be paid
in lawful money of the United States to Landlord at its address set forth in
Section 14.4, or to such other place as Landlord may designate from time to
time in writing, without abatement, deduction or offset. All monetary
obligations of Tenant under this Lease (including, without limitation,
interest and late charges payable pursuant to Section 3.3, below) shall be
deemed additional rent.
3.3 INTEREST; LATE CHARGE. If Tenant fails to pay Landlord Monthly
Rent on or before the fifth (5th) day after receipt of written notice from
Landlord that such sum is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge
equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent amount to compensate Landlord
for Landlord's administrative and other costs and efforts in connection
therewith. Landlord and Tenant agree that the foregoing late charge
represents a reasonable estimate of the cost and expense that Landlord will
incur in processing each delinquent payment. In addition, all
-39-
Monthly Rent not paid on or before the fifteenth (15th) day following the due
date thereof shall bear interest from and after the due date until paid at
the Lease Rate, which interest shall be payable forthwith upon demand.
ARTICLE 4
USE
4.1 PERMITTED USES. The parties hereto acknowledge that Tenant
intends to, and may, use the Property and the Leasehold Improvements for the
Permitted Uses. Tenant shall not allow the Property or any Leasehold
Improvements to be used for any unlawful purpose, nor shall Tenant cause,
maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Property or any Leasehold
Improvements located thereon. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be
committed any waste in or upon the Property or the Leasehold Improvements
thereon.
4.2 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Tenant shall not do anything in or upon
the Project, or suffer or permit anything to be done in or upon the Leasehold
Improvements, the Property and, until the Tenant's Off-Site Improvements are
accepted as complete by the City, the Park Site (as defined in the DDA) which
will in any way conflict with any Law now in force or which may be
hereinafter enacted or promulgated. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense,
shall comply with the restrictions and covenants of the Permitted Title
Exceptions and with all federal, state, county or municipal Laws (including,
without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 and so-called
California "Title 24" requirements) as the same shall be applicable to the
Property and Leasehold Improvements from time to time. The judgment of any
court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in an
-40-
action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that
Tenant has violated any covenant, restriction or Law shall be conclusive of
that fact as between Landlord and Tenant; provided, however, that Tenant
shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to contest or review by
legal and/or administrative proceeding the validity or legality of any such
Law, restriction or covenant. During any such contest or review by Tenant of
a Law enacted by the City when the City is the Landlord hereunder, Tenant
shall not be in breach or default under this Lease for its failure to comply
with such Law, provided that Tenant commences such contest or review in good
faith and, if such Law is found to be valid, Tenant indemnifies, defends and
holds Landlord harmless from all Claims in connection with Tenant's failure
to comply with such Law. During the contest or review of any other Law,
restriction or covenant, or any, Tenant may refrain from complying therewith
and shall not be in breach or default under this Lease for failure to comply
with such Law, restriction or covenants provided that compliance therewith
may legally be so held in abeyance without subjecting Landlord or the
Property to any (i) civil liability, cost, lien or expense (except to the
extent such civil liability, cost, lien or expense is reasonably likely to be
less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and Tenant indemnifies, defends
and holds Landlord harmless from all Claims in connection therewith pursuant
to Section 7.4.2, below), or (ii) any criminal liability, which may result
from Tenant's failure to so comply therewith or from Tenant's contest
regarding compliance.
4.3 WASTE. Tenant shall not commit or permit waste of the
Property, or any Leasehold Improvements thereon, nor shall Tenant remove any
earth, rocks, gravel, minerals, or the like from the Property, except to the
extent reasonably necessary for the construction or reconstruction of the
Leasehold Improvements or
-41-
Tenant's permitted use of the Property, or as otherwise required or permitted
by Law and by this Lease or the DDA. Nothing in this Lease or the DDA shall
prohibit Tenant from otherwise redeveloping the Property in the future,
including the demolition of existing Leasehold Improvements and the
construction of new Leasehold Improvements, provided that such redevelopment
is performed in accordance with Article 6 below.
4.4 LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS. Tenant agrees that either Tenant or
its subtenant, at its respective sole cost and expense, shall cause
construction of the Initial Project in accordance with Article 6 hereof and
the DDA.

However, none of the foregoing representations by Landlord shall in
any way modify any of the rights and remedies of the parties under this Lease
or the DDA, including, without limitation, those covenants and indemnities of
the parties relating to Contamination and Environmental Claims.
If a change of circumstances occurs on or before the Commencement
Date which causes Landlord's representations or warranties above to become
untrue, Landlord shall immediately inform Tenant of the same, and Tenant
shall have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 9.1(a) of
the DDA. If Landlord does not provide Tenant with written notice of any
change of circumstances, then

modify any of the rights and remedies of the parties under this Lease or the
DDA, including, without limitation, those covenants and indemnities of the
parties relating to Contamination and Environmental Claims.

4.5.2.3 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES. The
following conditions shall apply to any entry which involves an Environmental
Construction Activity:
4.5.2.3.1 MEET AND CONFER. At least
thirty (30) days prior to any entry involving an Environmental Construction

4.5.2.3.2 ACTIVITIES REASONABLY NECESSARY.
Landlord shall demonstrate to Tenant that such Environmental Construction
Activity is required by Hazardous Materials Laws or reasonably necessary to
investigate, clean up, remediate or prevent Contamination or to prevent the
assertion of an Environmental Claim against Landlord.

acknowledge and agree that (i) Landlord has previously granted or will grant
limited rights of access to the Existing Permittees pursuant to the terms and

Landlord shall, at Tenant's request, reasonably cooperate with
Tenant in relocating or removing any such xxxxx and facilities, provided that
such relocation and/or removal can be effected in a manner that does not
violate the applicable Existing Encroachment Permits and is otherwise in
compliance with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws and the requirements
of applicable Governmental Authorities, and provided, further, that Landlord
has determined, in its reasonable discretion, that such relocation and/or
removal will not conflict with the protection of human health and the
environment. In addition, Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant in
enforcing such other rights and remedies of Landlord under any Existing

Landlord from any Claims arising in connection with such entry.
If Landlord and Tenant are unable to resolve any dispute concerning
a matter to be agreed upon or consented to by a party pursuant to this

for resolution by one party to the other, then the matter shall be submitted
to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 14.7,
below.
-51-
In no event shall the foregoing conditions require Landlord to
violate or incur any order or directive to Landlord from a Governmental
Authority regarding any Environmental Construction Activity on the Property
required by such Governmental Authority to be performed by a Third Party.
4.5.2.6 INFORMATION SHARING. Landlord and Tenant
agree that each party shall cooperate with the other in sharing information

inspection, within a reasonable period of time following a request by one
party, reports, studies, and communications from Governmental Authorities and
other information within the possession or control of the other party

entry by Landlord or its employees, contractors or consultants, Tenant shall
have received certificates of insurance evidencing the following insurance
coverages maintained by Landlord and its contractors and consultants issued
by carriers of recognized responsibility with a financial rating of at least

other insurance of Tenant. All commercial general liability and auto
liability policies shall name Landlord and Tenant as additional insureds. So
long as Landlord is the City, the foregoing shall not require Landlord to
obtain and maintain the above insurance coverages to the extent that Landlord
is self-insured, although Landlord shall cause its contractors and
consultants to provide certificates of insurance evidencing the coverages
required above.

Tenant of its responsibilities under this section only to the extent of the
prejudice caused thereby.
Tenant's Environmental Indemnity Obligations with respect to such
Environmental Claim shall be conditioned upon a reasonable demonstration by

subsurface construction, excavation, dewatering and pile driving, without the
prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be withheld if
such activity is required by applicable Hazardous Materials Laws and/or any
Governmental Authority, and which approval shall not be otherwise

increases the cost incurred by Landlord to discharge Landlord's Environmental
Indemnity Obligations. In no event shall Tenant be required to violate or
incur any order or directive to Tenant from a Governmental Authority
respecting any
-61-
Environmental Construction Activity required by such Governmental Authority
to be performed by Tenant or any Third Party.

and all other Landlord Indemnitees, hereby waives and releases Tenant and the
other Tenant Indemnitees from:
A. All Environmental Claims covered by
Landlord's Environmental Indemnity Obligations;
B. Other Environmental Claims, to the
extent said Environmental Claims arise out of or in connection with the
matters described in Subsection 4.5.4.2; and

all other Tenant Indemnitees, hereby waives and releases Landlord and the
other Landlord Indemnitees from:
A. All Environmental Claims covered by
Tenant's Environmental Indemnity Obligations;

4.5.6.3 GENERAL RELEASE. Landlord, being familiar
with the provisions of Civil Code Section 1542, for itself and all other
Landlord Indemnitees, hereby waives, and Tenant, being familiar with the
provisions of Civil Code Section 1542, for itself and all other Tenant
Indemnitees hereby waives, the provisions of Civil Code Section 1542 and any
other provision of Law which would limit the waivers or releases set forth in
this Section 4.5.6. Said Section 1542 reads as follows:
"A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does
not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the
release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement
with the debtor."
4.5.7 RESERVATION OF RIGHTS. The parties each maintain
that they are innocent parties with regard to certain Contamination,
including, without limitation, the Teledyne/Spectra-Physics, Montwood and
Xxxxx/Xxxxxxxxx contaminated groundwater plumes currently affecting the
Property and the Park Site (as determined in the DDA). Although the parties
have agreed to certain
-63-
Environmental Indemnity Obligations with regard to Contamination, neither
party admits any responsibility whatsoever to any third party or Governmental
Authority under any applicable Law for such Contamination and reserves its
rights to pursue any and all Claims and to raise any and all defenses against
any third party or Governmental Authority in connection therewith. In
addition, to the extent that the Environmental Indemnity Obligations do not
allocate responsibility between the Landlord and Tenant for Contamination,
then no provision of this Agreement shall be read to modify, amend, or
supplement nor, except to the extent expressly set forth in Section 4.5.6, to
waive or release any right either party may have against the other under
applicable Law with respect to such Contamination.
4.5.8 SURVIVAL. Landlord's Environmental Indemnity
Obligations, Tenant's Environmental Indemnity Obligations, and the provisions
set forth in Sections 4.5.3 through 4.5.7, above, shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease; and are independent of any
other obligation of the parties under this Lease.
4.5.9 ABATEMENT OF RENT OR TERMINATION DUE TO NEW
CONTAMINATION.
4.5.9.1 RENT ABATEMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION OF
INITIAL PROJECT. If, during the course of construction of the Initial
Project, any Contamination (other than Tenant's Contamination) causes Tenant
to cease construction of any material portion of the initial Leasehold
Improvements on the Property, then Tenant's obligation to pay Monthly Rent
shall be abated for each day construction of the Leasehold Improvements is
actually delayed.
-64-
4.5.9.2 TENANT'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE DURING
CONSTRUCTION OF INITIAL PROJECT. If, during the course of construction of
the Initial Project, any Contamination (other than Tenant's Contamination) is
discovered on the Property and such Contamination (i) would render the
Leasehold Improvements which are part of the Initial Project uninhabitable or
unusable for their intended purposes, or (ii) otherwise causes Tenant to
cease construction of the Initial Project for more than one hundred eighty
(180) days, as determined by (i) a Governmental Authority; or (ii) a health
risk assessment prepared by a reputable environmental consultant of Tenant
(provided Tenant ceases construction and vacates the Property), then at its
election and in addition to its other rights and remedies, Tenant shall have
the right to terminate this Lease by delivery of written notice to Landlord
specifying the date of such termination (which date shall not be later than
one (1) year after the date of the notice). Tenant shall notify Landlord
within fifteen (15) days of the date that Tenant reasonably determines that
such Contamination will render the Property uninhabitable or unusable for its
intended purpose or causes Tenant to cease construction of the Project.
Landlord shall have the right to have a reputable environmental
consultant review the findings and conclusions of Tenant's health risk
assessment within thirty (30) days following Landlord's receipt thereof. If
Landlord's environmental consultant objects to any matter set forth in
Tenant's health risk assessment, Landlord's consultant and Tenant's
consultant shall meet and confer in order to resolve such objection within
fifteen (15) days following the aforementioned thirty- (30) day period. If
the consultants are unable to resolve such objection within said fifteen-
(15) day period, the dispute shall be submitted to arbitration by an
independent environmental consultant in accordance with Section 14.7, below.
In
-65-
no event shall the provisions of this section limit or otherwise affect in
any manner Landlord's Environmental Indemnity Obligations under the Ground
Lease.
4.5.9.3 CITY'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE DURING
CONSTRUCTION. If Landlord is required to remediate Contamination discovered
during the course of constructing the Initial Project, and estimates for
costs to be incurred by Landlord for cleanup and related activities exceed
Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), Landlord may elect to terminate the Ground
Lease or negotiate a mutually acceptable alternative with Tenant. If
Landlord elects termination, Landlord shall so notify Tenant in writing
within thirty (30) days of discovery and shall refund all rent paid by Tenant
and the Lease Fee, and shall reimburse Tenant for all costs and expenses
incurred by Tenant in connection with the Initial Project, the DDA, the
Development Agreement and this Lease (as evidenced by written documentation)
in an amount not to exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) within thirty
(30) days after receipt of Tenant's written notice of acceptance of the
termination and documentation of the costs and expenses. Landlord shall not
be obligated for any costs or expenses for termination pursuant to this
section, except as provided herein.
4.5.9.4 RENT ABATEMENT UPON COMPLETION OF INITIAL
PROJECT. If Contamination (other than Tenant's Contamination) renders any
portion of the Leasehold Improvements uninhabitable or unusable for the
then-existing use thereof, as determined by (i) an appropriate Governmental
Authority; or (ii) a health risk assessment undertaken by a mutually
agreed-upon third party consultant using mutually agreed-upon assumptions and
procedures demonstrates that the space is not reasonably suited for existing
uses and Tenant vacates the affected space, rent will be equitably abated
based upon the extent and duration of
-66-
such interference. If the consultant's findings are unable to resolve a
dispute between the Landlord and Tenant, the dispute shall be submitted
to arbitration by an independent environmental consultant in accordance with
Section 14.7, below. In no event shall the provisions of this section limit
or otherwise affect in any manner Landlord's Environmental Indemnity
Obligations under this Lease.
4.5.9.5 LEASE TERMINATION UPON COMPLETION OF
LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS. If Contamination (other than Tenant's Contamination)
renders more than one-half of the Floor Area of a Building (on a
Parcel-by-Parcel basis) uninhabitable or unusable for a period of one hundred
eighty (180) days or more, the Tenant may terminate the Lease for the
unusable Parcel. If Contamination (other than Tenant's Contamination)
renders more than one-half of the parking structure and/or more than one-half
of the total Floor Area of all Buildings subject to Parcel Leases
uninhabitable or unusable for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days or
more, Tenant may terminate this Lease as to all Parcels, or if the Property
has been parcelized pursuant to Section 2.2, all Parcel Leases (i.e., as to
the entire Property), subject to Section 14.30 below. The determination that
the Contamination constitutes a health risk that causes the space to be
unusable for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days must be: (a) made by
an appropriate Government Authority; or (b) based on a health risk assessment
by a mutually agreed-upon consultant using mutually agreed-upon assumptions
and procedures.
4.5.9.6 FAILURE TO AGREE UPON CONSULTANT OR
FINDINGS. In the event that (a) Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the
health risk consultant or the assumptions and procedures to perform a health
risk assessment pursuant to Section 4.5.9.4 or 4.5.9.5 within thirty (30)
days following delivery of Tenant's
-67-
written request for assessment to Landlord, or (b) following the completion
of such assessment Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the results and
findings of the assessment within a thirty (30) days following the parties'
receipt thereof, the dispute shall be submitted to arbitration by an
independent environmental consultant in accordance with Section 14.5.9,
above. In no event shall the provisions of this section limit or otherwise
affect in any manner Landlord's Environmental Indemnity Obligations under
this Lease.
4.5.10 UTILITY COSTS RELATED TO CONTAMINATED GROUNDWATER.
Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
Tenant to install utilities for the Initial Project, or for any utilities now
or hereafter installed by Tenant during the Lease Term solely to fulfill the
requirements of a public utility or Governmental Authority and unrelated to
utility installations made at Tenant's discretion, but only to the extent
that such installation costs are increased by the presence of groundwater
Contamination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for
all costs and expenses related to installation of utilities made at Tenant's
election following completion of the Initial Project, including, but not
limited to, utilities needed to expand or upgrade the Leasehold Improvements
(except to the extent required solely by a public utility or Governmental
Authority as described above). In no event shall the provisions of this
section limit or otherwise affect in any manner Landlord's Environmental
Indemnity Obligations under this Lease.
4.5.11 BUILDING COSTS RELATED TO METHANE. Landlord shall
reimburse Tenant for reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant to
construct and install required building improvements, fixtures and equipment
related to methane
-68-
("Methane Improvements") that are now or hereafter required solely to fulfill
the requirements of Governmental Authority and are not made at Tenant's
discretion. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and expense related to
any improvements, fixtures and equipment related to methane, that Tenant
elects to construct but which are not Methane Improvements required to be
installed by a Governmental Authority.
ARTICLE 5
PAYMENT OF REAL PROPERTY TAXES AND UTILITY CHARGES
5.1 NOTICE OF POSSESSORY INTEREST: PAYMENT OF TAXES AND
ASSESSMENTS ON VALUE OF ENTIRE PROPERTY. In accordance with California
Revenue and Taxation Code Section 107.6(a), Lessor states that by entering
into this Lease, a possessory interest subject to property taxes may be
created. Tenant or other party in whom the possessory interest is vested may
be subject to the payment of property taxes levied on such interest.
5.2 UTILITIES. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for
any charges for water, sewage, gas light, heat, telephone, electricity and

5.3 REAL PROPERTY TAXES. Commencing as of the Effective Date,
Tenant shall pay and discharge or cause to be paid and discharged before
delinquency all Real Property Taxes accruing during and applicable to the
Lease Term, regardless of when
-69-
due or when billed. Any Real Property Taxes required to be paid by Tenant
which relate to a tax year during which the Commencement Date or the
termination date of the Lease occurs shall be prorated between Landlord and
Tenant based on the actual days of said period within the Lease Term. If the
Law permits payment of any Real Property Tax in installments, Tenant may
utilize the permitted installment method over the maximum period of time
allowed by Law. If Tenant shall fail to pay any Real Property Tax prior to
the delinquency thereof, Tenant shall be required to pay all penalties
imposed by the taxing authority as a result of such delinquency, but shall
have no additional liability to Landlord for such failure.
5. 4 RIGHT TO CONTEST. Tenant shall have the right to pay any Real
Property Tax under protest and Tenant shall not be required to pay, discharge
or remove any Real Property Taxes, so long as Tenant shall (i) in good faith
contest the same or the validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings in
such a manner as to prevent the tax sale of any portion of the Property, the
Leasehold Improvements and/or Tenant's Estate and the imposition of any lien
upon any portion of the Property or the Leasehold Improvements; and (ii) give
Landlord prompt written notice of its intention to do so at least thirty (30)
days before Tenant would have been obligated to pay such Real Property Taxes
pursuant to this Lease, but for such contest. In the event of any such
contest, within twenty (20) days after the final determination thereof
adversely to Tenant, Tenant shall pay and discharge the amounts determined to
be due from Tenant in accordance therewith and with Section 5.1, together
with any penalties, fines, interest, costs and expenses resulting from such
contest or other proceeding. During any such contest, Tenant shall pay the
uncontested amount of such Real Property Taxes and, to the extent required by
Law, the
-70-
contested amount of such Real Property Taxes. Landlord shall not interfere
with Tenant's right to so initiate and prosecute a contest of Real Property
Taxes.
ARTICLE 6
CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS AND MECHANIC'S LIENS
6.1 CONSTRUCTION PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT DATE. Prior to the
Commencement Date, Tenant shall not make or construct, or permit its
subtenant to make or construct, any improvements to the Property without the
written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed.
6.2 CONSTRUCTION OF INITIAL PROJECT. After the Commencement Date
and subject to the provisions of this Lease and the DDA, Tenant or its
subtenant, at its respective sole cost and expense, shall construct or cause
others to construct the Initial Project.
6.3 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CONSTRUCTION OF INITIAL PROJECT AND
OTHER LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS. Before any construction or work of improvement
(including, without limitation, the Initial Project) is commenced on the
Property and before any building materials have been delivered to the
Property by or at the direction of Tenant, Tenant shall complete each of the
following conditions precedent, or procure Landlord's written waiver thereof:
6.3.1 INSURANCE DURING THE COURSE OF CONSTRUCTION. At all
times during the course of any construction or work of improvement by Tenant
on the Property or in connection with Tenant's Off-Site Improvements, Tenant
shall procure and
-71-
maintain or cause its general contractor to procure and maintain (i)
Builder's Risk Insurance (as defined below) or substantially similar property
insurance coverage; (ii) workers compensation and employers liability
insurance as required by law covering all persons employed in connection with
the work of improvement; and (iii) $5,000,000 per occurrence comprehensive
general liability and automobile liability insurance, including owned, hired
and non-owned autos. All such policies shall be "occurrence-based" policies
except to the extent that "claims-made" policies are generally acceptable
under reasonable risk management practices for similar ground lease projects
in Santa Xxxxx County, California. Tenant shall pay, or cause its
contractors and subcontractors to pay, all premiums required to maintain such
insurance at all times during which work is in progress. Tenant shall also
procure and maintain, at its sole cost and expense, all insurance required by
any lender financing Tenant's construction of the Leasehold Improvements.
All insurance provided pursuant to this section shall be from
insurance companies which are rated at least B+:IX in the latest Best's
Insurance Guide when admitted in California or, if not admitted in
California, from companies rated at least A:X in the latest Best's Insurance
Guide; or equivalent self-insurance that is acceptable to Landlord at its
sole discretion. If Best's Insurance Guide shall be discontinued, then the
parties shall establish comparable ratings from a similar, generally
recognized standard regarding insurance companies. The liability policies
described above shall name Landlord as an additional insured at no cost to
Landlord. Such policies may not be canceled, amended or changed without
thirty (30) days advance written notice to Landlord, and coverage shall be
unqualified as to the acceptance of liability for failure to notify;
provided, however, if any insurance company of Tenant agrees only to
"endeavor" to notify Landlord of cancellation or
-72-
change in any insurance coverage required under this Section 6.3.1, then it
shall be the responsibility of Tenant to notify Landlord within twenty (20)
days prior to such cancellation or change of insurance coverage. The
foregoing insurance coverages shall be primary; any insurance of Landlord
shall be noncontributory and only for the benefit of Landlord. Tenant shall
immediately cease all work on the Project upon the absence of in-force
insurance for the coverages required under, or the reduction of limits below
the minimum policy limits specified in, this Section 6.3.1. If cancellation
of insurance occurs during the course of construction, Landlord, at its
option, may procure the same for Tenant's account, and the cost thereof shall
be paid to Landlord by Tenant upon demand.
For purposes of this Lease, "Builder's Risk Insurance" is insurance
written on a completed value basis policy form, insuring against loss to the
extent of at least ninety percent (90%) of the replacement cost of that which
is being covered.
Prior to commencing the construction of any improvement with a cost
in excess of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (subject to adjustment
as provided hereinbelow) on the Property, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
original certificates of insurance evidencing the insurance coverages
required under this Section 6.3.1. At the time Tenant desires to commence
the construction of any improvement, the foregoing Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($200,000) amount shall be adjusted by a factor, the numerator of
which shall be the replacement cost of the Leasehold Improvements as of the
date Tenant desires to commence construction, and the denominator of which
shall be the original cost of the Leasehold Improvements of the Initial
Project. The certificates of insurance shall provide the following:
-73-
1. Policy number; name of insurance company; name,
address and telephone number of the agent or authorized representative; name,
address and telephone number of insured; project name and number or name of
corporation or agency; policy expiration date; and specific coverage amount;
2. That the policy will not be canceled, amended or
changed without thirty (30) days advance written notice to Landlord;
provided, however, if any insurance company of Tenant agrees only to
"endeavor" to notify Landlord of cancellation or change in any insurance
coverage required under this Section 6.3.1, then it shall be the
responsibility of Tenant to notify Landlord within twenty (20) days prior to
such cancellation or change of insurance coverage.
3. Deductibles and self-insured retentions not
exceeding those allowed in Section 7.2, below;
4. Name of Landlord contact;
5. Identification of endorsements required under
this Lease.
6. Copy of endorsement naming Landlord as an
additional insured on the liability insurance policy required of Tenant under
this section.
6.3.2 PERMITS. Tenant shall procure, at Tenant's sole cost
and expense, a demolition permit, grading permit, building permit and all
other governmental and quasi-governmental permits and approvals required by
Law for construction of
-74-
any improvements undertaken by Tenant. No application for demolition,
grading, building or use permit may contain any knowing misstatement or
intentional concealment of material fact. Tenant shall obtain all permits
required for the construction to be undertaken by Tenant. All Leasehold
Improvements and Tenant's Off-Site Improvements shall be in conformity with
said permits.
6.4 NOTICE OF NONRESPONSIBILITY. Landlord shall record, or, at
Landlord's request, Tenant shall record on Landlord's behalf, all appropriate
notices of nonresponsibility in connection with a work of improvement to be
undertaken by Tenant. Tenant shall provide Landlord with at least ten (10)
calendar days' advance written notice of the proposed commencement of any
work of improvement costing in excess of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($200,000) on the Property and/or the initial delivery to the Property of
materials for work costing in excess of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($200,000) so that Landlord may record or require Tenant to record on its
behalf the required notices of nonresponsibility.
6.5 COMPLETION REQUIREMENTS. The Leasehold Improvements and
Tenant's Off-Site Improvements shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike
manner in accordance with all Laws and the building permits therefor. Tenant
shall obtain all temporary and final certificates of occupancy required by
Law.
6.6 LANDLORD FREE FROM LIABILITY. Landlord shall not be liable for
any labor or materials furnished or to be furnished to Tenant, and no
mechanic's lien or other lien shall attach to or affect the Landlord's Estate
as a result of Tenant's construction of a work of improvement, except to the
extent caused by Landlord's failure to reimburse Tenant for certain costs as
set forth in the DDA. Nothing in this Lease
-75-
shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the request of or by
Landlord to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, supplier or materialman
for the performance of any work or as giving Tenant, or its affiliates or
permitted sublessees, any right, power or authority to contract for or permit,
as to Landlord's Estate, the rendering of any services or the furnishing of
any materials for any work of improvement at the Property which would
subject Landlord's Estate to a lien. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid
the total cost and expense of all works of improvement, as that phrase is
defined in the mechanics' lien law for the State of California in effect when
the work commences, undertaken at the direction of Tenant and in any way
associated with the Project, subject to Landlord's reimbursement obligations
under the DDA. No such payment for any work of improvement shall be
construed as a payment of Rent or as a payment in lieu of Rent under this
Lease.
6.7 MECHANICS' LIENS. Subject to Landlord's reimbursement
obligations under the DDA, Tenant shall not suffer or permit to be enforced
against the Project or any portion thereof, any mechanics', materialmen's,
contractors', or subcontractors' lien or liens arising from any work of
improvement by or at the direction of Tenant, however it or they may arise.
Tenant may, however, in good faith and at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
contest the validity of any such asserted lien, claim or demand provided that
Tenant has furnished Landlord with the bond required under California Civil
Code Section 3143 or any comparable statute hereafter enacted for providing a
bond freeing the Landlord's Estate from the effect of such a lien, claim or
demand. In the event no such statute should exist, Tenant shall supply
Landlord with cash security or other security reasonably acceptable to
Landlord in an amount of no less than one hundred fifty percent (150%) of any
lien,
-76-
claim or demand. Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Landlord
and Landlord's successors and assigns, the Property, the Leasehold
Improvements and the Project free and harmless from and against all Claims
arising out of any mechanics' liens for works of improvement performed on or
at the Project by or at the direction of Tenant or its affiliates,
subtenants, concessionaires, licensees or Agents, together with reasonable
attorneys' and experts' fees and all costs and expenses reasonably incurred
in defending or otherwise protecting against such claims.
6.8 LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO DISCHARGE LIEN. If Tenant does not cause
to be recorded the bond described in California Civil Code Section 3143 (or
any comparable statute hereafter enacted for providing a bond freeing the
Property, the Leasehold Improvements and the Project from the effect of such
a lien, claim or demand) or otherwise protect the same under any alternative
or successor statute or other security arrangement acceptable to Landlord in
the manner described in Section 6.7, above, and a final judgment has been
rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction for the foreclosure of a
mechanics', materialmen's, contractors' or subcontractors' lien, claim or
demand, and if Tenant fails to stay the execution of the judgment by lawful
means or to pay the judgment, Landlord shall have the right, but not the
duty, to pay or otherwise discharge, stay, or prevent the execution of any
such judgment or lien or both. Upon demand therefor by Landlord, Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for all sums paid by Landlord under this Section 6.8,
together with all Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, plus
interest on those sums, fees and costs at the Lease Rate from the date of
payment until the date of full reimbursement.
-77-
6.9 TITLE TO LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS. During the term of this
Lease, title to the Leasehold Improvements shall be in Tenant or its
subtenants, as applicable, and in no event shall Landlord have any interest
or claim upon the Trade Fixtures or any additions, alterations and
improvements thereto or replacements thereof. At the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, all right, title and interest of Tenant and any
other party in the Leasehold Improvements and all additions, alterations and
improvements thereto or replacements thereof shall automatically pass to and
vest in Landlord without the necessity of notice or documentation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Landlord have any interest
whatsoever in Tenant's Trade Fixtures or those of its permitted subtenants,
and Landlord shall execute any document reasonably necessary to facilitate
the collateralization of equipment leases or other financing for the benefit
of Tenant or subtenants, and acknowledge its waiver of any lien or interest
in the Trade Fixtures.
6.10 LANDLORD'S COOPERATION. At any time that Tenant undertakes a
work of improvement pursuant to the provisions of this Article 6, Landlord
shall use good faith efforts to cooperate with Tenant in applying for
(including execution thereof) all necessary governmental and
quasi-governmental permits and approvals required for such construction and
all inspections, certificates of occupancy and other certificates evidencing
completion of the work in accordance with applicable Law. Without limiting
the generality of Section 14.29 below, the foregoing shall not limit in any
manner the City's rights, powers and authority under its police powers.
6.11 TENANT'S ELECTION TO REDEVELOP. Following completion of the
Initial Project, Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation (except
as otherwise required in connection with damage or destruction of the
Leasehold Improvements
-78-
under Article 8 or condemnation under Article 9), to demolish, remove,
replace, relocate, reconstruct and/or redevelop the Leasehold Improvements,
provided that, as of the commencement of such work, (i) no Event of Default
exists under the Lease; (ii) at least fifteen (15) years of the Lease Term
(including any option periods exercised by Tenant) are remaining under the
Lease; (iii) Tenant agrees to construct new Leasehold Improvements promptly
following the demolition, removal, replacement and/or relocation of the then
existing Leasehold Improvements, all in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Article 6; (iv) the Leasehold Improvements after the
reconstruction will have an estimated fair market value equal to or greater
than the fair market value of the Leasehold Improvements existing prior to
such demolition, removal, replacements, relocation, reconstruction and/or
redevelopment, and (v) any one of the following exists: (A) the Guaranty has
not been terminated pursuant to Section 20 of the Guaranty, (B) the Lease has
been assigned to an assignee (or is otherwise guaranteed by any entity)
meeting the financial criteria set forth in Section 11.1.2 above at either
the time of assignment or the commencement of such work, or (C) Tenant has
provided Landlord with reasonable assurances that Tenant has the financial
capability and/or financing commitment to perform the construction of the new
Leasehold Improvements.
ARTICLE 7
INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY
7.1 REQUIRED INSURANCE. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense,
shall procure the following insurance on or before the Commencement Date and
shall maintain the same at all times during the Lease Term:
-79-
7.1.1 LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant shall obtain and
maintain a policy or policies of comprehensive general and automobile
liability insurance in an amount of not less than $5,000,000 per occurrence,
including bodily injury, death, personal injury, contractual liability,
including, without limitation, performance by Tenant of the indemnity
provisions contained in Section 7.4.2 of this Lease to the extent it is
insurable, and property damage as a combined single limit or equivalent.
Such insurance shall name Landlord as an additional insured. No such
insurance shall be deemed to limit the parties' respective indemnity
obligations or such other obligations of the parties under this Lease. The
limits of the liability coverage and, if necessary, the terms and conditions
of insurance, shall be reasonably adjusted from time to time (not less than
every five years after the Commencement Date nor more than once in every
three-year period) to meet any change of circumstance, including, but not
limited to, changes in the purchasing power of the dollar and the litigation
climate in California. If the parties are unable to agree on the amount by
which the minimum coverage required of Tenant is to be adjusted, the
controversy shall be resolved by arbitration according to the procedure set
forth in Section 14.7 below.
7.1.2 PROPERTY INSURANCE. Tenant shall maintain all risk
property damage insurance (without deduction for depreciation) in an amount
equal to not less than 90 percent of the full cost of rebuilding and
replacing the Leasehold Improvements, including increased costs due to
changes in building codes, regulations and similar laws. In addition, Tenant
shall carry a standard boiler and machinery all-risk policy covering the
Leasehold Improvements (if the Leasehold Improvements contain a boiler), and
such other insurance as may be requested by
-80-
Landlord pursuant to Section 7.1.3 below. Landlord shall be named as a loss
payee for proceeds in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000).
7.1.3 INSURANCE COVERAGE. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not be required to carry (i)
earthquake insurance; (ii) pollution liability insurance; (iii) flood
insurance; or (iv) any other insurance that cannot be procured or maintained
by Tenant at commercially reasonable rates (other than the commercial
liability and property insurance coverages described in Sections 6.3.1, 7.1.1
and 7.1.2, above). Except as provided in the preceding sentence, Tenant,
within thirty (30) days after Landlord's written request therefor (which
request may not be made more than once in every three-year period), shall
obtain and thereafter maintain property insurance against such additional
casualties not otherwise described in Section 7.1 as Landlord may reasonably
request, provided that such coverage is generally maintained by owners of
similar projects in Santa Xxxxx County, California.
7.2 REQUIRED TERMS. All policies provided for under this Article 7
must be from insurance companies which are rated at least B+:IX in the latest
BEST'S INSURANCE GUIDE when admitted in California or, if not admitted in
California, from companies rated at least A:X in the latest BEST'S INSURANCE
GUIDE, or equivalent self-insurance that is acceptable to Landlord at its
sole discretion. If BEST'S INSURANCE GUIDE shall be discontinued, then the
parties shall establish comparable ratings from a similar, generally
recognized standard regarding insurance companies. The liability insurance
described in 7.1.1 above shall name Landlord as an additional insured at no
cost to Landlord. Such policies may not be canceled, amended or changed
without thirty (30) days advance written notice to Landlord, and coverage
-81-
shall be unqualified as to the acceptance of liability for failure to notify;
provided, however, if any insurance company of Tenant agrees only to
"endeavor" to notify Landlord of cancellation or change in any insurance
coverage required under Section 7.1, then it shall be the responsibility of
Tenant to notify Landlord within twenty (20) days prior to such cancellation
or change of insurance coverage. All such policies shall be
"occurrence-based" policies except to the extent that "claims-made" policies
are generally acceptable under reasonable risk management practices for
similar ground lease projects in Santa Xxxxx County, California. The
foregoing insurance coverages shall be primary; any insurance of Landlord
shall be noncontributory and only for the benefit of Landlord. All
deductibles and self-insured retentions shall be in amounts generally
maintained by owners of similar projects in Santa Xxxxx County, California.
Prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
original certificates of insurance evidencing the insurance coverages
required under this Section 7.1 and otherwise containing the information
required under Section 6.3.1 above. At least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of such policies, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with evidence of
renewal or binders showing no lapse in coverage and, as soon as practicable
thereafter, certificates of renewal setting forth the information required
under Section 6.3.1 above, as applicable. If Tenant fails to procure any
insurance required by this Lease, or to deliver to Landlord such policies or
certificates as required by this Lease, Landlord at its option may procure
the same for Tenant's account, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord
by Tenant upon demand.
-82-
7.3 PARTIAL RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.
Landlord and Tenant release each other and their respective employees,
officers and directors from any Claims such releasing party may have for
damage to the Leasehold Improvements, the Project or any of the releasing
party's fixtures, personal property, improvements and alterations in or about
the Project that is caused by or results from risks insured against under any
fire and extended coverage insurance policies actually carried by such
releasing party, without regard to the fault of the party released, provided
that such waiver shall be limited to the extent of the net insurance proceeds
paid by the relevant insurance company with respect to such loss or damage.
This release shall be in effect with respect to any loss only so long as the
applicable insurance policy(s) contain a clause to the effect that this
release shall not affect the right of the named insured to recover under such
policies. Tenant and Landlord shall cause each insurance policy obtained by
it to provide that the insurance company waives all rights of recovery by way
of subrogation against either or both Landlord and Tenant in connection with
any damage covered by such policy so long as such a waiver of subrogation is
available and can be obtained without unreasonable additional cost.
7.4 INDEMNIFICATION OF LANDLORD.
7.4.1 LIMITATION OF LANDLORD'S LIABILITY. Except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Lease or the DDA (including, without
limitation, Landlord's indemnity obligations under Sections 4.5.3 and 7.5
hereof), Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, and Tenant hereby waives all
Claims against Landlord for any loss, injury or other damage to person or
property in or about the Project from any cause whatsoever, including,
without limitation, water leakage of any character from the
-83-
roof, walls, basement or other portion of the Property, the Leasehold
Improvements or the Project, or gas, fire, explosion or other electricity
within the Property, the Leasehold Improvements or the Project.
7.4.2 TENANT'S INDEMNITY.
7.4.2.1 SCOPE OF TENANT'S INDEMNITY. Subject to
the limitations contained in Section 7.4.2.1 below, Tenant shall defend with
competent counsel, indemnify, protect and hold harmless Landlord and each of
the Landlord Indemnitees from any and all demands, suits, governmental
orders, writs, injunctions, claims, actions, proceedings, causes of action,
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, costs or expenses, including

after acceptance of the Tenant's Off-Site Improvements; or
(ii) Any construction or other work
undertaken by Tenant on the Project, whether prior to or during the Lease
Term; or
(iii) Any Event of Default under this
Lease by Tenant; or
-84-
(iv) Any accident, injury or damage,
howsoever and by whomsoever caused, to any person or property, occurring on
the Property or in the Leasehold Improvements during the Lease Term; or
(v) Tenant's violation of Law.
7.4.2.2 LIMITATIONS ON TENANT'S INDEMNITY.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.4.2, in no event
shall Tenant have any obligation under this Section 7.4.2 to indemnify,
defend or hold harmless Landlord or any other Landlord Indemnitee from any
Claim, nor to waive any Claim which Tenant may have against Landlord or
another Landlord Indemnitee, to the extent the Claim arises from:
(i) The negligent act or omission or
willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's Agents in or on the Project
during the Lease Term;
(ii) A breach of the obligations of
Landlord set forth in this Lease;

the Tenant's Off-Site Improvements after acceptance of the Tenant's Off-Site
Improvements by Landlord, Landlord's governmental subdivisions, their
respective Agents or the general public and, except as provided in Section
8.6 of the DDA, any design or construction defects in the Tenant's Off-Site
Improvements;
-85-
(v) Bodily injury, property damage or
personal injury suffered or caused by the use by the general public (other
than Tenant's Agents, invitees, customers, and guests) of those portions of
the Leasehold Improvements on the Property made available pursuant to Section
8.7 of the DDA for the use of the general public, except to the extent that
such bodily injury or property damage could have been prevented by reasonable
safety and security precautions commonly undertaken by owners of comparable
projects in Santa Xxxxx County, California, and such precautions were not
undertaken by Tenant; and
(vi) Any Environmental Claim,
Environmental Construction Activity, Contamination, Hazardous Materials
Activity or Hazardous Materials Law (which shall be governed solely by the
provisions of Section 4.5 above);
The foregoing indemnities are intended to be "occurrence-based"
indemnities rather than "claims-made" indemnities. Accordingly, the
provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease to the extent that the injury or damage giving rise
to the Claim occurs prior to such expiration or termination.
7.5 LANDLORD'S INDEMNITY.
7.5.1 SCOPE OF LANDLORD'S INDEMNITY. Subject to the
limitations contained in Section 7.5.2, Landlord shall defend with competent
counsel,

of the DDA for the use of the general public, except to the extent that such
bodily injury or property damage could have been prevented by reasonable
safety and security precautions commonly undertaken by owners of comparable
projects in Santa Xxxxx County, California, and such precautions were not
undertaken by Tenant.
-87-
7.5.2 LIMITATIONS ON LANDLORD'S INDEMNITY. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 7.5, in no event shall Landlord have
any obligation under this Section 7.5 to indemnify, defend or hold harmless
Tenant or any other Tenant Indemnitee from any Claim, nor to waive any Claim
which Landlord may have against Tenant or another Tenant Indemnitee, to the
extent the Claim arises from:

ARTICLE 8
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND RESTORATION OF DAMAGE
8.1 TENANT'S DUTY TO MAINTAIN AND REPAIR. Subject to this Article
8, Article 9, Section 4.5, and Section 7.5 hereof, during the Lease Term,
Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall keep and maintain the Leasehold
Improvements, and every part thereof, including, without limitation, any
appurtenances and fixtures, the structural elements of the Buildings, all
parking structures and facilities, the roofs, walls, plumbing, heating,
ventilation, air conditioning, plazas, and landscaping on the Property, in
such condition as may be required by Law. Other than Landlord's
environmental obligations set forth in Article 4 hereof, Landlord shall have
no maintenance responsibility whatsoever in connection with the Property, the
Leasehold Improvements or Trade Fixtures.
Notwithstanding the preceding to the contrary, in the event of an
assignment of Tenant's Estate to any party other than an assignee (or any
guarantor thereof) meeting the financial criteria set forth in Section 11.1.2
below, an assignee in an Affiliate Transaction, a Tenant Mortgagee or any
successor or assign of such Tenant Mortgagee in the Tenant Mortgage, Tenant
shall deliver the Leasehold Improvements to such assignee in good, clean and
sanitary condition, excepting ordinary wear and tear, damage or destruction
which Tenant is not required to restore pursuant to this Article 8,
condemnation which Tenant is not required to restore pursuant to Article 9,
and Contamination (other than Tenant's Contamination).
-89-
Nothing herein shall prohibit Tenant from otherwise redeveloping the
Property in the future, including the demolition of existing Leasehold
Improvements and reconstruction of new Leasehold Improvements, provided that
such redevelopment is performed in accordance with Article 6 above.
8.2 CASUALTIES.
8.2.1 TENANT'S DUTY TO RESTORE. Subject to Section 8.2.2,
below, if any Leasehold Improvements are damaged by fire, other peril or any
other cause during the initial fifty-five (55) years of the Lease Term, then
Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall, within four (4) years after the
date of casualty (subject to force majeure delays described in Section 14.18,
below), restore the Leasehold Improvements in compliance with and to the
extent permitted by all then applicable Laws, and this Lease shall remain in
full force and effect, without abatement of Monthly Rent or other charges.
All insurance proceeds payable as a result of such casualty shall be applied
in the following order of priority:
A. First, as provided by any Tenant Mortgage, to
the satisfaction and payment of the Tenant Mortgagee;
B. Second, to Tenant for the payment of all costs
and expenses to complete the restoration of the Leasehold Improvements
required of Tenant pursuant to this subsection; and
C. Third, the remainder of insurance proceeds, if
any, shall be paid to Tenant.
-90-
The proceeds paid to Tenant pursuant to Subsection (B) above shall
be deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant by the
recipient for the purpose of restoration of the Leasehold Improvements.
8.2.2 TENANT'S TERMINATION RIGHTS. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Lease:
8.2.2.1 ELECTION NOT TO RECONSTRUCT. If an
Uninsurable Loss in excess of the Restoration Amount or any Late Term
Extensive Damage occurs, then Tenant, by delivery of written notice to
Landlord within six (6) months after the occurrence of the damage, may elect
not to reconstruct the Leasehold Improvements, in which case Tenant, at its
sole cost, shall (i) demolish the damaged Leasehold Improvements; (ii) remove
all debris from the Property; (iii) erect necessary structures to preclude
unauthorized access to the Property and otherwise remove all safety hazards
from the Property; (iv) clear the Property of the damaged Leasehold
Improvements and return that portion of the Property to a level grade, to the
extent reasonably practicable; and (v) maintain such Leasehold Improvements
on the Property which are not damaged in the condition required by this
Lease. Following such election, this Lease shall continue to remain in full
force and effect, without abatement of Monthly Rent or other charges.
Tenant's failure to make an election in writing within six (6) months after
the date of the occurrence of the damage shall constitute Tenant's
affirmative election to restore the damaged Leasehold Improvements pursuant
to Section 8.2.1, above. All insurance proceeds payable as a result of such
casualty with regard to Late Term Extensive Damage
-91-
which Tenant elects not to reconstruct as provided hereinabove shall be applied
in the following order of priority:
A. First, as provided in any Tenant
Mortgage, to the satisfaction and payment of the Tenant Mortgagee;
B. Second, to Tenant for the payment of
all costs and expenses to complete the demolitions and/or restorations
required of Tenant pursuant to this subsection; and
C. Third, the remainder of insurance
proceeds, if any, shall be paid to Landlord and Tenant as their interest may
appear; provided, however, that the portion of such proceeds otherwise
payable to Tenant under this Subsection (C) shall be reduced by the amount
paid to Tenant Mortgagee pursuant to Subsection (A) above.
The proceeds paid to Tenant pursuant to Subsection (B), above, shall
be deemed to be held in trust for the purposes and uses described therein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for
repairing any injury or damage to Leasehold Improvements caused by an
Uninsurable Loss if the Uninsurable Loss is less than the Restoration Amount.
8.2.2.2 INFEASIBILITY. Notwithstanding Section
8.2.1, if reconstruction of the Leasehold Improvements following any casualty
is physically infeasible because of physical conditions of the Property, or
if the City or any other
-92-
Governmental Authority cannot legally grant the permits and approvals for
repair or restoration of the Leasehold Improvements so that the total Floor
Area of all Buildings after the restoration will be at least two hundred fifty
thousand (250,000) square feet, then Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the
date set forth in its written notice to Landlord so stating. If the City or
any Government Authority can legally grant permits and approvals for repair and
restoration of the Leasehold Improvements so that the total Floor Area of all
Buildings will be greater than two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) but less
than five hundred thousand (500,000) square feet, the Monthly Rent shall
thereafter be proportionately reduced in the same manner as described under
Section 1.3.2. If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to this
section, Tenant, at its sole cost, shall (i) demolish the damaged Leasehold
Improvements; (ii) remove all debris from the Property; (iii) erect necessary
structures to preclude unauthorized access to the Property and otherwise remove
all safety hazards from the Property; and (iv) clear the Property of the
damaged improvements and return that portion of the Property to a level grade.
Upon the termination date set forth in Tenant's written notice to Landlord of
its election to terminate: (i) all Monthly Rent and other sums due pursuant to
this Lease shall be prorated as of the date of termination and paid by Tenant;
(ii) this Lease shall expire and terminate; (iii) neither Landlord nor Tenant
shall have any further obligations hereunder except for those obligations which
are intended to survive termination of this Lease; and (iv) Guarantor shall be
released from all obligations under the Guaranty, except for those obligations
which have accrued prior to the date of termination or which are intended to
survive termination of the Lease. All insurance proceeds payable as a result
of such damage and Tenant's election to terminate shall be applied in the
following order of priority:
-93-
A. First, as provided in any Tenant
Mortgage, to the satisfaction and payment of the Tenant Mortgagee;
B. Second, to the payment of all expenses
incurred by Tenant in completing the demolition and/or restoration required
of Tenant pursuant to this Subsection; and
C. Third, the remainder of insurance
proceeds, if any, shall be paid to Landlord and Tenant, as their interests
may appear; provided, however, that the portion of such proceeds otherwise
payable to Tenant under this Subsection (C) shall be reduced by the amount
paid to a Tenant Mortgagee pursuant to Subsection (A) above.
8.2.3 GENERAL PROVISIONS. Landlord shall not be required
to repair any injury or damage to the Leasehold Improvements or the Property,
except to the extent of Landlord's obligations in Article 4 hereof. Landlord
and Tenant hereby waive the provisions of (i) Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of
the Civil Code of California and any other provisions of Law from time to
time in effect during the term of this Lease and relating to the effect on
leases of partial or total destruction of leased premises; and (ii) Sections
1941 and 1942 of the Civil Code, providing for repairs to and of premises.
Landlord and Tenant agree that their respective rights upon any damage or
destruction of the Leasehold Improvements and the Property shall be those
specifically set forth in this Article 8.
-94-
ARTICLE 9
CONDEMNATION
9.1 DEFINITIONS. As used in this Article 9, the following terms
shall have the following meanings:

otherwise, by any person or entity having the legal power to do so; (ii) a
voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to any condemnor, either under threat
of condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation are pending; or
(iii) any permanent taking by inverse condemnation.
9.1.2 TOTAL TAKING shall mean a Condemnation of (i) all or
substantially all of the Leasehold Improvements and/or the Property; or (ii)
any portion of the Leasehold Improvements and/or the Property which leaves
remaining a balance which, in Tenant's reasonable judgment, even after a
reasonable amount of reconstruction, may not be restored so as to permit the
balance to be economically operated for Tenant's intended purpose or which
materially reduces Tenant's actual occupancy of the Leasehold Improvements
(by reduction of parking or otherwise) so that it cannot be economically
operated for Tenant's intended purpose.
9.1.3 PARTIAL TAKING shall mean a Condemnation of a portion
of the Leasehold Improvements and/or the Property which does not constitute a
"Total Taking."
-95-
9.1.4 DATE OF TAKING shall mean the date that the condemnor
takes possession of the property being condemned; and
9.1.5 AWARD shall mean the net amount of all compensation,
sums or anything of value awarded, paid or received on or because of a Total
Taking, a Partial Taking, or a temporary Condemnation, after deduction of
attorneys' fees and court costs awarded to Landlord and/or Tenant in the
Condemnation proceeding.
9.2 TOTAL TAKING. If, during the Lease Term, there occurs a Total
Taking, this Lease shall terminate on the Date of Taking, and all obligations
hereunder shall be prorated to that date.

Partial Taking, the following shall apply:
A. This Lease shall terminate as to the portion so taken
and shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion remaining.
B. Effective as of the Date of Taking, the Monthly Rent
shall be equitably reduced based upon the reduced fair market value of the
Property as a consequence of the Taking (and the Initial Monthly Rent used in
the formula for calculating adjustments to Monthly Rent as set forth in
Section 3.1.3.1 and 3.1.3.2 shall be equitably reduced), as determined by the
mutual agreement of the parties, or if they cannot agree within sixty (60)
days following the Date of the Taking, then by arbitration pursuant to
Section 14.7 hereof.
-96-
C. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and with reasonable
diligence, to the extent reasonably practicable, commence and complete the
restoration of the portion of any affected Leasehold Improvements and the
Property not taken to a condition which is economically viable,
architecturally complete and suitable for the uses being made of the
Leasehold Improvements and the Property immediately prior to the Date of
Taking, in accordance with the terms of Article 6 of this Lease.
9.4 TEMPORARY TAKING. If there occurs a Temporary Taking of all or
any part of the Leasehold Improvements or the Property during the Lease Term
(i) this Lease shall not be affected in any way; (ii) Tenant shall continue
to pay and perform all of its obligations hereunder; and (iii) any Award made
as a result of said Temporary Taking shall be paid solely to Tenant.
9.5 APPORTIONMENT OF AWARD. Any Award made as a result of a Total
Taking shall be deposited, in trust, with Landlord, and any Award made as a
result of a Partial Taking shall be deposited in trust with Tenant, and shall
be paid as follows:

satisfaction and payment of the Tenant Mortgage, to the extent of the value

shall receive any portion of the Award payable for restoration of any
remaining Leasehold Improvements not taken;
-97-
C. The remainder, if any, shall be paid to Landlord and
Tenant, as their interests may appear for the taking of Landlord's Estate and
Tenant's Estate, respectively; provided, however, that for the purpose of
this subject, the value of Tenant's Estate shall be reduced by any amount
paid to a Tenant Mortgagee pursuant to Subsection (A) above.
Tenant shall receive any Award payable for (i) a taking of Tenant's
Trade Fixtures and other personal property, Tenant's relocation costs and/or
Tenant's loss of goodwill, and (ii) with respect to a Partial Taking, any
severance damages attributable to the impairment of Tenant's use of the
remaining portion of the Property and Leasehold Improvements during the
remaining Lease Term.
9.6 GENERAL. Each party hereto shall be responsible for
representing its own interest (at its own cost) in any proceeding or
negotiation regarding any Condemnation or any Award, and shall cooperate to
maximize the total amount of the Award. Issues between Landlord and Tenant
which must be resolved to implement the provisions of this Article shall be
joined in any pending Condemnation proceeding, to the extent permissible under
then applicable Law, to the end that multiplicity of actions shall be avoided.
Any dispute between Landlord and Tenant arising under this Article which is not
so joined in a Condemnation proceeding shall be determined by arbitration
pursuant to Section 14.7 hereof.

ARTICLE 10
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
10.1 EVENTS OF TENANT'S DEFAULT. An "Event of Default" by Tenant
shall occur if:
10.1.1 MONETARY DEFAULT. Tenant shall fail to pay the
Monthly Rent or any other monetary sum owing to Landlord or any other party
(including without limitation, the payment of Real Property Taxes) under the
terms of this Lease on or before the tenth (10th) day after receipt of
written notice from Landlord that such obligation is due and unpaid; or
10.1.2 NONMONETARY DEFAULT. Tenant shall fail to perform
any term, covenant or condition of this Lease to be performed by Tenant,
except those requiring the payment of money, and Tenant shall have failed to
cure the same on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after written notice from
Landlord, delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, where
such failure could reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day period or
shall fail to commence to cure any such failure which could not reasonably be
cured within said thirty (30) day period on or before the thirtieth (30th)
day after written notice of the default or to thereafter continue to make
diligent and reasonable efforts to cure such failure as soon as practicable.
-99-
10.2 LANDLORD'S REMEDIES. Subject to the provisions of Article 13
hereof regarding Tenant Mortgages, upon an Event of Default, Landlord shall
have all of the following remedies:
10.2.1 TERMINATION OF LEASE. Landlord, at its election,
may terminate this Lease and be entitled to the remedies described below.
Landlord shall effect the termination of this Lease by delivery of written
notice to Tenant, which notice shall be delivered to Tenant in the manner
described in Section 14.4, below. Termination of this Lease shall be
effective as of the later of (a) the date set forth in Landlord's notice
which date shall not be earlier than ninety (90) days after the date of the
notice or, (b) such longer period (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180)
days) after delivery of Landlord's termination notice to Tenant as may be
necessary for Tenant to complete its surrender of the Property and the
Leasehold Improvements, if Tenant pays to Landlord the Monthly Rent for each
month of the extended surrender period and during such period pays any and
all other rent, charges and amounts, and complies with all other covenants
and obligations of Tenant under this Lease (but during such surrender period
Tenant shall not be liable for holdover rent pursuant to Section 14.3 below)
as provided in Section 2.5 above. Upon termination of this Lease by Landlord
under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.2.1, Landlord
shall be entitled to recover from Tenant the following:
A. The worth, at the time of the award, of the
unpaid rent that had been earned at the time of termination of this Lease;
-100-
B. The worth, at the time of the award, of the
amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after the date
of termination of this Lease until the time of award exceeds the amount of
the loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided. In
no event, however, shall the amount described in this subparagraph (B)
include any damages which are not recognized under California landlord/tenant
law as recoverable damages on account of Tenant's default.
C. The worth, at the time of the award, of the
amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term of this Lease
after the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Tenant
proves could have been reasonably avoided; and
D. Any other amount, including court costs,
necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by
Tenant's default, or which in the ordinary course of events would be likely
to result therefrom, including, without limitation, brokerage fees,
advertising costs and other costs reasonably necessary to relet the Property
and relet or demolish the Leasehold Improvements, operating and maintenance
costs for the Property and the Leasehold Improvements and such other costs
recoverable by Landlord under California Civil Code Section 1951.2 which are
proximately caused by the Event of Default and termination of this Lease. In
no event, however, shall the amount described in this subparagraph (D)
include (i) any lost profits or revenue or loss of reputation; (ii) so long
as City is Landlord, any loss of real property taxes and assessments, use
taxes and/or sales taxes, which result or are likely to result from the
termination of this Lease; and (iii) any of the aforesaid damages under this
subparagraph (D) (a) which
-101-
will be incurred more than five (5) years after the termination of this Lease
and Tenant's surrender of the Property and the legal vesting of title to the
Leasehold Improvements in Landlord free and clear of this Lease, (b) which will
be incurred after more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the Floor Area of the
Buildings have been relet or reoccupied following surrender of the Buildings by
Tenant, or (c) which are not recognized under California landlord/tenant law as
recoverable damages under this subparagraph (D) on account of Tenant's default,
because of rents received by Landlord as a consequence of the surrender of the
Leasehold Improvements to Landlord, Landlord's failure to mitigate damages or
otherwise.
The worth, at the time of the award, as used in Subparts (A) and
(B), above, shall include interest at the Lease Rate. The worth, at the time
of award, as referred to in Subpart (C) above, shall be computed by
discounting such amount at the discount rate as set forth in California Civil
Code Section 1951.2, or, if no provision for discounting is then set forth
therein, at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at
the time of the award plus one percent (1%).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of any damages payable by
Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 10.2.1 (C) shall be further reduced
(but not below zero) by the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of
the Leasehold Improvements exceeds any deductions for the benefit of Tenant
pursuant to Subpart 10.2.1(C), above. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, the "value" of the Leasehold Improvements shall be determined as of
the date of the termination of this Lease on account of an Event of Default
equal to (i) the price at which a willing buyer and a willing seller would
agree to a sale of a fee interest in the Property and
-102-
Leasehold Improvements, as if unencumbered by this Lease; less (ii) the Fair
Market Value of the Property, as if unimproved and unencumbered by this Lease.
10.2.2 LANDLORD'S ELECTION TO CONTINUE LEASE. Even though
Tenant has breached this Lease, this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate this Lease on account of an
Event of Default in accordance with applicable Law and this Lease by delivery
of written notice of termination to Tenant, Landlord may enforce all of its
rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to
recover the rent as it becomes due. Tenant acknowledges that in the event
Landlord should elect to continue this Lease after an Event of Default,
Tenant has the obligation to mitigate its damages and obtain a sublessee or
assignee subject to the terms and conditions of Section 11, below. The
parties hereto agree that Landlord has the remedy described in California
Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after
Tenant's default and recover rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right
to sublet or assign, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11,
below). The parties further agree that no election by Landlord to continue
this Lease in accordance with this Section shall diminish in any way the
Landlord's right to later terminate this Lease on account of an continuing
Event of Default as permitted by, and in accordance with, Section 10.2.1,
above, or to pursue any other remedy. In this regard, without written notice
of termination, this Lease shall not be terminated by Landlord' s acts of
maintenance or preservation of the Property or the Leasehold Improvements, or
by Landlord's efforts to relet any of the foregoing, or by Landlord's acts to
have a receiver appointed pursuant to Section 10.2.3, below. The failure or
refusal of Landlord to relet the Property, the Leasehold Improvements or any
part thereof shall not release or affect Tenant's liability hereunder.
-103-
10.2.3 APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER. In addition to all other
remedies provided herein, if an Event of Default is continuing, Landlord
shall have the absolute right to have a receiver appointed to collect Monthly
Rental and any rentals payable by any subtenant to Tenant with respect to the
Property and the Leasehold Improvements. Neither the filing of a petition
for the appointment of a receiver nor the appointment itself shall constitute
an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease.
10.2.4 CURE OF DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Landlord, at any time
during an Event of Default, may cure the default at Tenant's cost. Landlord
shall provide Tenant with ten (10) days' advance written notice prior to
entering the Property and/or Leasehold Improvements or expending any sums on
Tenant's account, except in cases of emergency. If Landlord, by reason of an
Event of Default, pays any sum or does any act that requires the payment of
any sum, the reasonable sum paid by Landlord shall be due immediately from
Tenant upon Landlord's written demand therefor and shall bear interest at the
Lease Rate from the date the sum is paid by Landlord to the date Landlord is
reimbursed.
10.3 NO WAIVER. The waiver by Landlord of any agreement, condition
or provision in this Lease shall not be a waiver of any subsequent breach of
the same or any other agreement, condition, covenant or provision, nor shall
any custom or practice which may develop between the parties in the
administration of the terms of this Lease be construed to waive or to lessen
the right of Landlord to insist upon the performance by Tenant in strict
accordance with all such terms. The subsequent acceptance of rental under
this Lease by Landlord shall not be a waiver of any
-104-
preceding breach by Tenant of any agreement, condition, covenant or provision
of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rental so
accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the
time of acceptance of such rental.
10.4 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The remedies conferred by this Lease
upon Landlord are not intended to be exclusive, but are cumulative and in
addition to all other remedies provided at law or in equity.
10.5 LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. Landlord shall not be in default under
this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord
within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after
written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying wherein Landlord has failed
to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of
Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required
for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences
performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes the same to completion.
10.6 TENANT'S REMEDIES. Exclusive of environmental obligations, if
Landlord is in default for failure to perform any of its obligations required
under this Lease, then Tenant shall have the right, after thirty (30) days'
written notice to Landlord of its intent to do so, to perform any obligation
of Landlord and to obtain immediate reimbursement of all reasonable costs of
performing such obligation plus interest at the Lease Rate from the date any
sum is expended until Landlord reimburses Tenant. The remedies conferred by
this Lease upon Tenant are not intended to be exclusive, but are cumulative
and in addition to all other remedies provided at law
-105-
or in equity, except for those remedies expressly prohibited by this Lease,
including, without limitation, the prohibition of the remedy of offset set
forth in Section 3.2.
ARTICLE 11
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
11.1 ASSIGNMENT BY TENANT. Tenant shall have the following rights
to assign or otherwise transfer Tenant's Estate:
11.1.1 ASSIGNMENT TO VIRTUAL FUNDING, INC. Tenant shall
have the right to assign, sublease or otherwise transfer Tenant's Estate to
Virtual Funding Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, at any
time after the Effective Date, and Landlord hereby consents to such
assignment, sublease or other transfer, provided neither Tenant nor Guarantor
shall be released from their respective obligations under this Lease and the
Guaranty.
11.1.2 AUTOMATIC ASSIGNMENT RIGHT. After completion of the
Initial Project, Tenant shall have the right to assign all of Tenant's
Estate, in whole, as to the entirety of the Property or in part, but only in
part as to the entirety of Tenant's Estate in any Parcel Lease created
pursuant to Section 2.2, above (but not as to any part of any legal Parcel
nor as to any part of any Building), without the consent of Landlord, whether
by written assignment or operation of law, and upon assumption in writing of
each and every term, condition and obligation of this Lease by the assignee,
thereby be released and discharged from (and the Guarantor likewise released
and discharged from) all liability for the performance of the obligations of
the Tenant under this Lease to be performed from and after the effective date
of
-106-
such Assignment which are assumed by the assignee (other than its obligations
under those Lease provisions which are intended to survive a termination of
this Lease and which have been incurred prior to the date of the Assignment);
so long as each and every one of the following conditions is satisfied as of
the date of the Assignment:
A. Tenant provides Landlord with at least fifteen
(15) days' prior written notice of the identity of the assignee the form of
the documentation that will be used to satisfy Section 11.1.5 and all items
required under Section 11.1.2(B).
B. Tenant provides Landlord with the proposed
assignee's financial statements for its two (2) most recent fiscal year(s),
the most recent of which will either be audited by a certified public
accountant or certified as true and correct by an officer or general partner
of the proposed assignee, showing each of the following:
(i) The ratio of the proposed assignee's
cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable to current liabilities is not
less than 0.75 to 1; and
(ii) The ratio of the proposed assignee's
debt to net worth is no greater than 2 to 1; and
(iii) The proposed assignee's average net
profit over each of the preceding two (2) fiscal years (excluding
extraordinary income and expense) is
-107-
no less than sixty (60) times the Monthly Rent payable for the Lease Month
during which the Assignment occurs; and
(iv) The proposed assignee's net worth is
not less than three hundred (300) times the Monthly Rent payable for the
Lease Month during which the Assignment occurs.
(v) Upon Tenant's request and within
fifteen (15) days after Landlord's receipt of the materials required to be
delivered to Landlord in this Section 11.1.2 and payment of the amounts
payable to Landlord under Section 11.1.4, Landlord shall acknowledge in
writing that a proposed assignment meeting the criteria set forth above is
permitted under this Section 11.1.2 and , if so permitted, that the same is
not a breach of this Lease and that Landlord's consent to the proposed
assignment is not required. Any permitted assignee shall further assign this
Lease only in compliance with the provisions of this Article 11.
11.1.3 LANDLORD'S RIGHT OF APPROVAL. Subject to Sections
11.1.1, 11.1.2, 11.2, 11.3 and Article 13, after completion of the Initial
Project, neither the Tenant's Estate nor any part thereof or interest therein
shall, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of
Law or otherwise, be assigned, mortgaged, pledged, encumbered or otherwise
transferred by Tenant or Tenant's legal representatives or successors in
interest (collectively, an "Assignment") except upon Landlord's prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Assignments shall be limited to the entire Tenant's Estate, or if the Lease
is parcelized pursuant to Section 2.2, the entire Tenant's Estate in a Parcel
Lease created pursuant to Section 2.2, above, and no Assignment may encompass
a portion of a
-108-
Parcel or a portion of a Building. Any Assignment requiring Landlord's consent
undertaken without Landlord's prior written consent shall, at Landlord's
option, be void and unenforceable.
In determining whether to approve a proposed Assignment under this
Section 11.1.3, Landlord shall place its sole decision-making criteria on the
creditworthiness of the proposed assignee, and such decision shall be made in
good faith and in Landlord's reasonable business judgment. Upon request by
the assignor Tenant and/or Guarantor, Landlord shall also determine whether
or not it is appropriate for Landlord to release the assignor Tenant and/or
Guarantor, as may be requested, in connection with the obligations under this
Lease to be performed after the Assignment by the proposed assignee.
Landlord's determination to release Tenant and/or the Guarantor shall not be
unreasonably withheld and shall be based solely on the financial security for
performance of all obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall not be
deemed to have acted unreasonably for declining to release the Tenant and/or
the Guarantor, if the proposed assignee's creditworthiness (when taken
together with any new guarantor of the new assignee Tenant's obligations)
under this Lease is not sufficient to perform the Tenant's obligations under
this Lease, including, without limitation, the payment of Rent and the
performance of Tenant's Environmental Indemnity Obligations under this Lease.
The consent by Landlord to an Assignment shall not relieve the
assignor Tenant or any assignee Tenant from obtaining Landlord's express
prior written consent to any other or further Assignment, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Neither an Assignment nor the
collection of rent by Landlord from any person other than Tenant, nor the
application of any
-109-
such rent as provided in this Section shall be deemed a waiver of any of the
provisions of this Section or release Tenant from its obligation to comply with
the provisions of this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord approves an Assignment,
and if the assignee either: (i) pays to Tenant all cash consideration for
the Assignment; or (ii) obtains third-party financing in order to pay all
cash for the Assignment; or (iii) obtains financing from any lender of
Silicon Graphics Real Estate, Inc. (in an arm's-length market transaction) to
pay all cash for the Assignment, then Landlord shall release Tenant and
Guarantor from liability for performance of the obligations of the Tenant
under this Lease to be performed from and after the effective date of such
Assignment by the assignee (other than the obligations under this Lease which
are to survive a termination of this Lease and which have been incurred prior
to the date of the Assignment).
In order to obtain Landlord's decision regarding a proposed
Assignment under this Section 11.1.3, Tenant shall submit to Landlord the
proposed assignee's financial statements, either audited by a public
accountant or certified as true and correct by an officer or general partner
of the proposed assignee, for its most recent fiscal year. Landlord shall
have forty-five (45) days after the date of Tenant's submittal to Landlord of
such financial statements and payment of these sums due Landlord under
Section 11.1.4 to approve or disapprove, in writing, the proposed Assignment,
and if requested, the proposed release of the assignor Tenant and/or
Guarantor. If Landlord's decision is not received by Tenant within said
forty-five (45) day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have disapproved such
Assignment and to have refused to release the assignor Tenant and the
Guarantor. Immediately
-110-
following approval of the proposed Assignment and Landlord's receipt of the
documentation to be delivered to Landlord pursuant to Section 11.1.5, below,
Landlord shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Tenant, Landlord's written
consent to said Assignment and the release of the assignor Tenant and/or the
Guarantor, as appropriate, in such form as may be reasonably requested by the
parties.
11.1.4 PROCESSING COSTS. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
amount of Landlord's reasonable costs of processing each proposed Assignment,
including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and other professional fees as
reasonably required, and the amount of all reasonable expenses incurred by
Landlord arising from the assignee taking occupancy of the subject space
(collectively, "Processing Costs"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, Landlord shall not be required to process any request for Landlord's
consent to an Assignment until Tenant has paid to Landlord the amount of
Landlord's reasonable estimate of the Processing Costs. Once Landlord's
final Processing Costs have been determined, Landlord shall provide Tenant
with written itemization of such costs, and if an additional sum is required
to be paid by Tenant, or if Landlord is required to reimburse the excess over
such costs to Tenant, such sums will be paid or reimbursed, respectively,
within ten (10) days after receipt by Tenant of Landlord's written
itemization. In the case of an automatic assignment pursuant to Section
11.1.2, the Processing Cost shall be paid within five (5) days following
delivery of Landlord's written demand therefore.
11.1.5 DOCUMENTATION. No permitted Assignment shall be
effective unless and until there has been delivered to Landlord a counterpart
of the
-111-
Assignment in which the assignee Tenant shall have, by written agreement,
agreed to: (1) recognize Landlord under this Lease; (2) assume the obligation
of the Tenant imposed by this Lease to be performed after the date of the
Assignment; and (3) be bound by the terms of this Lease. Tenant agrees that
any instrument that is an Assignment of all or any portion of this Lease shall
expressly provide that the assignee may only enter into a further Assignment of
this Lease pursuant to the provisions hereof, and that the assignee will comply
with all of the provisions of this Lease and that Landlord may enforce the
Lease provisions assumed by the assignee directly against such assignee.
11.2 SUBLETTING BY TENANT. Without the necessity of obtaining
Landlord's consent thereto, Tenant may sublease the Tenant's Estate or any
portion thereof at any time during the Lease Term for use by any subtenant.
All such subleases shall be subordinate to this Lease, and all subtenants
must agree to abide by all of the terms and covenants of this Lease except
for the payment of rent. Within fifteen (15) days after Tenant's request,
Landlord shall state in writing that a sublease pursuant to this section is
not a breach of this Lease, and that Landlord's consent is not required for
such sublease.
In the event that this Lease is terminated prior to the natural
expiration of the Lease Term, all of the subleases shall, at Landlord's
option, automatically terminate, and be null and void. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord shall, promptly following Tenant's request, enter into a
nondisturbance, recognition and attornment agreement ("Nondisturbance
Agreement") in recordable form with any subtenant of Tenant leasing space in
the Leasehold Improvements, provided that the sublease provides that (i) rent
substantially equivalent to fair market rent for the
-112-
subleased premises; (ii) the sublease is subject to the provisions of this
Lease; (iii) the only consideration for possession of the subleased Leasehold
Improvements is in the form of rent and no rent is paid more than two (2)
months in advance; (iv) the rent payable by the sublessee shall not be
front-end loaded; (v) Landlord shall have no liability for prior acts, omission
or defaults of Tenant under the sublease nor any obligation to make any payment
or take any action for the benefit of the sublessee upon recognition of the
sublease beyond Landlord's obligations as set forth in this Lease; and (vi) the
remaining provisions of the sublease are approved by Landlord, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld nor delayed beyond fifteen (15) days
following delivery to Landlord of a copy of the final form of the sublease and
a request for the nondisturbance agreement. In no event shall such
Nondisturbance Agreement or any sublease impose any obligation upon Landlord
not set forth in this Lease or the DDA (as said agreements may be amended from
time to time).
11.3 AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Article 11, Tenant may enter into any Assignment of this Lease or sublet
all or a portion of the Tenant's Estate without Landlord's consent (i) to an
entity "controlled by" or "under common control" (as defined below) with
Tenant or Guarantor or to an entity "controlling" Tenant, so long as Tenant
is owned, controlled by or under the common control of Guarantor; (ii) in
connection with the transfer of stock of Tenant through a public exchange;
(iii) so long as Tenant is owned, controlled by or under the common control
of Guarantor, a transfer of stock of Tenant in connection with the merger,
consolidation or nonbankruptcy reorganization of Guarantor; or (iv) in
connection with a merger, consolidation, or nonbankruptcy reorganization of
Tenant through a public exchange; or (v) to the holder of a Tenant Mortgage,
a
-113-
Tenant Mortgagee Related Party or the purchaser of all or any portion of
the Tenant's Estate at a foreclosure sale of a Tenant Mortgage (collectively,
"Affiliate Transactions"). For the purpose of the foregoing, "control" will
be the ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting and ownership
interest of the controlled entity.
11.4 WAIVER AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Consent by Landlord to one or more
Assignments of this Lease, or to one or more sublettings of the Tenant's
Estate, or Tenant Mortgages shall not be deemed to be a consent to any
subsequent assignment. However, upon written request by Tenant, Landlord
shall execute such documents as Tenant shall reasonably request acknowledging
that an Assignment, subletting or other transfer of the Tenant's Estate, or
any portion thereof or interest therein, complies with the provisions of this
Article.
ARTICLE 12
TRANSFER OF LEASED PREMISES BY LANDLORD
12.1 TRANSFER BY LANDLORD. Subject to Section 12.2, below,
Landlord may assign and transfer Landlord's Estate or any portion thereof or
interest therein at any time during the Lease Term, but only if such
transferee shall have, by written agreement, agreed to:
(i) Recognize Tenant under this Lease;
(ii) Assume the obligations of Landlord imposed herein to
be performed after the date of the transfer; and
-114-
(iii) Be bound by the terms of this Lease. In no event
shall such transfer affect a release of Landlord of its obligations under
this Lease.
12.2 TENANT'S RIGHTS OF FIRST NEGOTIATION.
12.2.1 LANDLORD'S DUTY TO NOTIFY. If, at any time during
the Lease Term (but subject to Landlord's obligation, if any, to comply with
applicable Laws regarding the transfer of an interest in City-owned real
property, if City is then Landlord hereunder), Landlord shall desire to sell
or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, Landlord's Estate, or any
portion thereof or interest therein, to a person or entity (other than a
"City Affiliate," as defined below, if the City is then Landlord under this
Lease), whether by way of a Landlord-initiated transaction or by way of an
unsolicited offer, then Landlord shall first offer to Tenant the opportunity
to negotiate its acquisition of such portion of Landlord's Estate by giving
Tenant written notice by Certified U.S. Mail of its intention. For purposes
of this Lease, a "City Affiliate" shall mean the City of Mountain View and
related agencies and, upon acquisition of Landlord's Estate or any portion
thereof, the City Affiliate shall be bound to the terms of this Section 12.2
with respect to any subsequent transfer of such interest by the City
Affiliate.
12.2.2 EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATION PERIOD--LANDLORD-INITIATED
TRANSACTION. If Landlord desires to sell or otherwise transfer all or any
portion of Landlord's Estate ("Subject Landlord's Estate), Tenant and
Landlord shall meet and attempt to mutually agree upon the price and general
terms and conditions for acquisition by Tenant of the Subject Landlord's
Estate. Tenant and Landlord shall use good-faith efforts in exclusive
negotiations to attempt to reach such an agreement during the
-115-
forty-five (45) day period commencing upon Tenant's receipt of Landlord's
notice of its intention to transfer the Subject Landlord's Estate ("Negotiation
Period"). The exclusive negotiations shall be commenced by Landlord delivering
to Tenant by Certified U.S. Mail written notice of its willingness to sell the
Subject Landlord's Estate. During the Negotiation Period, Landlord shall
negotiate exclusively with Tenant regarding the sale of the Subject Landlord's
Estate. The Negotiation Period may be extended for such time as may be
mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant.
12.2.2.1 FAILURE TO EXECUTE AGREEMENT AND
LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO TRANSFER. If Landlord and Tenant do not develop mutually
acceptable terms and conditions for the transfer of the Subject Landlord's
Estate during the Negotiation Period, then, no later than three (3) business
days following expiration of the Negotiation Period, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord written notice of the last purchase price actually offered by Tenant
during the Negotiation Period ("Benchmark Price"). This Benchmark Price
shall be the benchmark price for calculations required under this right of
first negotiation, but shall not constitute an actual offer by Tenant to
purchase the Subject Landlord's Estate. If Tenant does not deliver the
Benchmark Price within this time frame, then it shall be deemed that Tenant
has no interest in purchasing the Subject Landlord's Estate, and Landlord
shall have no obligation to reoffer the Subject Landlord's Estate to Tenant
during the period that Landlord continues to market the Subject Landlord's
Estate.
12.2.3 MARKETING PERIOD. Landlord may proceed with the
disposition of Landlord's Estate for a period of one hundred eighty (180)
days following submission by Tenant of the Benchmark Price ("Marketing
Period").
-116-
12.2.3.1 THIRD PARTY OFFER EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN
ONE HUNDRED SIX PERCENT OF FINAL OFFER. If, during the Marketing Period,
Landlord receives a written bona fide offer from a third party for the
acquisition of all or any portion of Subject Landlord's Estate for a price
which is less than or equal to one hundred six percent (106%) of Tenant's
Benchmark Price, and Landlord desires to accept such offer, then Landlord
shall give written notice to Tenant by Certified Mail setting forth the terms
of such offer and the fact that Landlord is willing to accept such offer.
12.2.3.2 TENANT'S RIGHT TO ACCEPT REOFFER. Tenant
shall have the right to acquire the Subject Landlord's Estate at the price
and upon the terms and conditions stated in Landlord's written notice of such
third-party offer only if Tenant exercises such right by delivery to Landlord
of written notice of Tenant's election on or before the:
(i) Fifth (5th) business day following
Tenant's receipt of Landlord's written notice of such third-party offer if
the price is greater than the Benchmark Price but is less than or equal to
one hundred six percent (106%) of the Benchmark Price; or
(ii) Fifteen (15) days following Tenant's
receipt of Landlord's written notice of such third-party offer if the price
is equal to or less than the Benchmark Price.
-117-
In the event that Tenant shall elect to acquire the Subject
Landlord's Estate, then it shall do so upon the terms and conditions
contained in Landlord's written notice of such third-party offer.
If Tenant does not deliver written notice to Landlord of its
agreement to acquire the Subject Landlord's Estate upon the terms set forth
in Landlord's notice within the applicable period set forth in (i) and (ii)
above, or declines to accept the terms and conditions stated in Landlord's
notice, then Landlord may transfer the Subject Landlord's Estate to any third
party on the terms stated in Landlord's notice of such third-party offer
during such period that Landlord thereafter continuously markets the Subject
Landlord's Estate. Any other attempt by Landlord to transfer the Subject
Landlord's Estate or any portion thereof or interest therein shall be deemed
to be a new election by Landlord to transfer and will be subject to all of
the provisions of this Section 12.2.
12.2.3.3 THIRD-PARTY OFFER EXCEEDING ONE HUNDRED
SIX PERCENT OF FINAL OFFER. If, during the Marketing Period, Landlord
receives a bona fide written offer from a third party which exceeds one
hundred six percent (106%) of the Benchmark Price and Landlord initiates
exclusive negotiations for the sale of the Subject Landlord's Estate to said
party, Landlord shall, no later than five (5) business days after Landlord
and such third party have entered into an agreement regarding such exclusive
negotiations (but in any event prior to the expiration of the Marketing
Period), deliver written notice to Tenant by Certified Mail setting forth the
terms of such offer and Landlord's intent to negotiate exclusively with said
party, in which event the Benchmark Price will automatically be extended for
purposes of this Section 12.2 and Landlord may proceed with its negotiations
with
-118-
such third party for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following
delivery of such written notice to Tenant ("Preauthorization Period").
12.2.3.4 NEW TENANT OFFERS. Tenant may submit a
new offer, either higher or lower than the Benchmark Price, to Landlord at
any time during the Marketing Period, the Preauthorization Period, or at any
other time during the marketing of the Subject Landlord's Estate. Landlord
will consider any such new offer from Tenant as it would any others
presented. Subject to Sections 12.2.4 through 12.2.6, below, Landlord will
not consider any new offer from Tenant during the period of exclusive
negotiations with a third party as described in Section 12.2.3.3, above, and
12.2.4, below.
Any offer made by Tenant as provided in this Section 12.2.3.4 above
shall replace the Benchmark Price and become the New Benchmark Price for
calculations required under this right of first negotiation.
12.2.4 THIRD-PARTY NEGOTIATIONS. Landlord may proceed with
its negotiations with such third party during the Preauthorization Period.
Landlord must receive appropriate authorization from the City Council, if
Landlord is the City, or the requisite number of its general partners or
board of directors, if Landlord is a partnership or corporation,
respectively, or the requisite member of trustees, if Landlord is a trust,
("Authorization") to accept the offer within said one hundred eighty (180)
day period.
12.2.5 THIRD-PARTY CLOSING. If, during the
Preauthorization Period, Landlord receives Authorization to accept the
third-party offer (which offer shall
-119-
have a price exceeding one hundred six percent (106%) of the Benchmark Price),
Landlord shall, within fifteen (15) business days following receipt of such
Authorization (but in any event prior to the expiration of the Preauthorization
Period), deliver written notice regarding such authorization to Tenant, in
which the Benchmark Price will be automatically extended for purposes of this
Section 12.2, and Landlord may proceed with its negotiations with such third
party, for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following Landlord's
receipt of Authorization ("Closing Period"). The transaction with such third
party must then close (i.e., the recordation of a deed conveying Landlord's
Estate to such third party) within the Closing Period (which closing shall
require the payment of a purchase price in excess of one hundred six percent
(106%) of the Benchmark Price).
12.2.6 REOFFER TO TENANT IN EVENT THIRD PARTY DOES NOT
CLOSE.
If one of the following occurs:
(i) Landlord has not received Authorization to
accept such third-party offer within the Preauthorization Period;
(ii) The sale of the Subject Landlord's Estate to
such third party fails to close within the Closing Period; or
(iii) The negotiations with such third party
otherwise fails or the agreement with such third party otherwise terminates.
-120-
then, Landlord shall promptly provide Tenant with written notice thereof, and
Landlord and Tenant shall thereafter negotiate in good faith for a period of
thirty (30) days following Tenant's receipt of such notice to develop
mutually acceptable terms and conditions for the acquisition by Tenant of the
Subject Landlord's Estate (which period may be extended by mutual agreement
of Landlord and Tenant). During such negotiation period, Landlord shall
negotiate exclusively with Tenant regarding the transfer of the Subject
Landlord's Estate; provided, however, that if Tenant does not provide
Landlord with written notice of its desire to acquire the Subject Landlord's
Estate within five (5) business days following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's
notice as provided in this Section 12.2.6 above, said negotiations shall be
on a non-exclusive basis during the remaining portion of the thirty (30) day
negotiation period; and provided, further, that if Tenant does not submit a
written offer to Landlord to acquire the Subject Landlord's Estate within
fifteen (15) calendar days following receipt of Landlord's notice pursuant to
this Section 12.2.6, said negotiations shall thereafter be on a non-exclusive
basis during the remaining portion of the thirty (30) day negotiation period.
If the parties are unable to agree upon such terms and conditions
within said thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written
notice of the Benchmark Price no later than three (3) business days following
said thirty (30) day period, and any transfer of the Subject Landlord's
Estate shall again be subject to Sections 12.2.3 through 12.2.6 above. This
Benchmark Price shall be the benchmark price for calculations required under
this first right of negotiation as described in Sections 12.2.3 through
12.2.5 above.
-121-
12.2.7 TENANT RENEGOTIATIONS FOLLOWING UNSUCCESSFUL
MARKETING. If Landlord has not provided Tenant with written notice of a third
party offer within the Marketing Period, Landlord shall promptly provide
written notice of the same to Tenant, and Landlord and Tenant shall
thereafter negotiate in good faith for a period of fifteen (15) days to
develop mutually acceptable terms and conditions for the acquisition of the
Subject Landlord's Estate (which period may be extended by mutual agreement
of Landlord and Tenant). During such negotiation period, Landlord shall
negotiate exclusively with the Tenant regarding the transfer of the Subject
Landlord's Estate; provided, however, that if Tenant does not provide
Landlord with written notice of its desire to acquire the Subject Landlord's
Estate within five (5) business days following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's
notice as provided in this Section 12.2.7 above, said negotiations shall
thereafter be on a non-exclusive basis during the remaining portion of the
fifteen (15) day negotiation period; and provided, further, that if Tenant
does not submit a written offer to Landlord within ten (10) calendar days
following receipt of Landlord's notice, said negotiations shall thereafter be
on a non-exclusive basis during the remaining portion of the fifteen (15) day
negotiation period.
If the parties are unable to agree upon such terms and conditions,
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice of the Benchmark Price no
later than three (3) business days following expiration of such negotiation
period and otherwise pursuant to this Section 12.2, in which event Landlord
shall have a new one hundred eighty (180) day Marketing Period, and any
transfer of the Subject Landlord's Estate shall again be subject to Sections
12.2.3 through 12.2.6 above. The new Benchmark Price shall become the
benchmark price for calculations required under this right of first
negotiations as described in Sections 12.2.2 through
-122-
12.2.4 above. This process may continue for as long as Landlord continues to
market Landlord's Estate.
12.2.8 Negotiation Period--Unsolicited Offer. If Landlord
receives an unsolicited offer from a third party to purchase or otherwise
acquire all or any portion of Landlord's Estate, and Landlord desires to
accept such offer, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant by Certified
Mail setting forth the true and complete terms and conditions of such offer
and the fact that Landlord is willing to accept the offer. Within fifteen
(15) business days after receipt by Tenant of Landlord's notice of such
unsolicited offer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing that Tenant
desires to acquire the subject Landlord's Estate upon the terms and
conditions contained in Landlord's notice. If Tenant agrees to acquire the
subject Landlord's Estate on the terms set forth in Landlord's notice, Tenant
shall acquire the subject Landlord's Estate on the terms set forth in
Landlord's notice within a reasonable time or at such time and such other
terms as the parties may mutually agree in writing.
If Tenant does not elect to acquire the subject Landlord's Estate on
the terms set forth in Landlord's notice of the unsolicited offer, but does
wish to acquire the subject Landlord's Estate on terms and conditions
comparable to those contained in Landlord's notice, the parties shall
continue to negotiate the terms and conditions of the sale of the subject
Landlord's Estate until the expiration of the forty-five (45) day period
following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's notice of such unsolicited offer.
12.2.9 EXPIRATION OF RIGHT OF FIRST NEGOTIATION. This
Article 12 shall be in effect only so long as the sole Tenant(s) under this
Lease and all of any Parcel
-123-
Leases created pursuant to Section 2.2 are SGREI Related Parties and only so
long as no portion of this Lease or any Parcel Lease is transferred or assigned
except to a SGREI Related Party. This Article 12 shall be deemed null, void
and deleted from this Lease and automatically extinguished as to the original
Tenant hereunder and any and all successor tenants upon assignment of all or
any portion of Tenant's interest in this Lease or any Parcel, except to a SGREI
Related Party, and no rights under this Article 12 shall be assignable to any
third party who is not a SGREI Related Party.
12.3 INDEMNIFICATION FROM TAXES DUE TO CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP.
Landlord shall indemnify Tenant from any and all increases in Real Property
Taxes or related Proposition 13 impacts to the extent caused by a transfer of
Landlord's Estate or any portion thereof or interest therein pursuant to this
Article 12, other than to Tenant or a SGREI Related Party.
ARTICLE 13
TENANT MORTGAGES
13.1 TENANT'S RIGHT TO ENCUMBER TENANT'S ESTATE. Tenant may from
time to time during the Lease Term encumber Tenant's Estate by one or more
mortgages, deeds of trust, assignment of rents, issues and profits or other
proper instruments (including, without limitation, those instruments and
estates created by sublease or assignment), as security for the repayment of
loan(s) or financing(s) as Tenant may desire, provided that such encumbrance
shall be subject to the provisions of this Article 13. Tenant shall deliver
to Landlord in writing the name of each Tenant Mortgagee, the address for
notice of the Tenant Mortgagee, and true copies of each
-124-
mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument encumbering Tenant's
Estate. Any such encumbrance shall be referred to herein as a "Tenant
Mortgage." The holder of any Tenant Mortgage, and any entity owned or
controlled by a holder of a Tenant Mortgage, shall be referred to herein as a
"Tenant Mortgagee." Any Tenant Mortgage shall be subject to the conditions set
forth below.
13.1.1 NO MODIFICATION WITHOUT CONSENT. Landlord and/or
Tenant shall have no right to modify, amend, alter, terminate (except
pursuant to Article 10), surrender this Lease or the Property, and Tenant
shall have no right to otherwise acquire any right, title or interest in and
to Landlord's Estate, without the prior written consent of Tenant Mortgagee,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant Mortgagee will
endeavor to provide written notice regarding the granting or withholding of
such consent within thirty (30) days following Tenant Mortgagee's receipt of
Tenant's written request therefor and such information and documentation as
may be reasonably requested by Tenant Mortgagee. No modification, amendment,
termination (except pursuant to Article 10), alteration or surrender of this
Lease by Landlord and/or Tenant shall be effective as to any Tenant
Mortgagee, unless consented to in writing by such Tenant Mortgagee.
13.1.2 NO TERMINATION. Landlord shall have the right to
terminate this Lease by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default by
Tenant hereunder only when all of the following shall have occurred:
(i) Landlord shall have given written notice to
Tenant Mortgagee setting forth the nature of such default as provided in
Section 13.1.7
-125-
below, provided that Tenant or Tenant Mortgagee has provided written notice to
Landlord of the name and address of Tenant Mortgagee;
(ii) Tenant Mortgagee shall have failed to cure or
commence to cure the Event of Default to the extent and within the time
periods prescribed in Sections 13.1.4 and 13.1.5 below, as applicable; and
(iii) Tenant Mortgagee shall have failed to
commence to acquire Tenant's Estate or to commence foreclosure or other
appropriate proceedings under the Tenant Mortgage to the extent and within
the time periods prescribed in Sections 13.1.4 and 13.1.5 below, as
applicable.
13.1.3 RIGHT TO CURE. Tenant Mortgagee shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to do any act or thing required to cure any
default by Tenant under this Lease, and Landlord shall accept such
performance by or at the instance of Tenant Mortgagee as if the same had been
made by Tenant instead of by Tenant Mortgagee. The foregoing is provided to
Tenant Mortgagee in addition to, and not in derogation of, any other rights
Tenant Mortgagee may have under the Tenant Mortgage or this Lease, including,
without limitation, Tenant Mortgagee's right to a new lease pursuant to
Section 13.1.9 below.
13.1.4 RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT. Upon an Event of Default by
Tenant under this Lease, Tenant Mortgagee shall have a period of sixty (60)
days after the Event of Default to cure the same; provided, however, that if
the Event of Default is such that it cannot be reasonably cured by Tenant
Mortgagee within said sixty (60) day period and/or possession of the Property
and/or the Leasehold Improvements is
-126-
necessary to cure such Event of Default, Tenant Mortgagee shall have a
reasonable period of time after the expiration of said sixty (60) day period to
obtain possession of the Property and the Leasehold Improvements and cure the
Event of Default, provided that: (i) Tenant Mortgagee shall have cured the
initial Event of Default in the payment of monetary obligations of Tenant under
the Lease (and any subsequent Event of Default in the payment of monetary
obligations) within sixty (60) days after delivery of written notice of said
Event of Default to the Tenant Mortgagee; and (ii) Tenant Mortgagee shall have
commenced to acquire Tenant's Estate or to commence foreclosure or other
appropriate proceedings under the Tenant Mortgage within said sixty (60) day
period and, thereafter, shall continue to prosecute the same to completion.
13.1.5 RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT OF NON-MONETARY OBLIGATIONS NOT
SUSCEPTIBLE TO CURE. If any Event of Default in the performance of a
non-monetary obligation of Tenant under this Lease is not reasonably
susceptible to being cured by Tenant Mortgagee, Landlord shall have no right
to terminate this Lease with respect to such Event of Default and such Event
of Default shall be deemed waived for the benefit of Tenant Mortgagee only,
provided that:
(i) Tenant Mortgagee shall have cured the initial
Event(s) of Default in the payment of monetary obligations of Tenant (and any
subsequent Event(s) of Default in the payment of monetary obligations of
Tenant) within the time periods prescribed under Section 13.1.4, above;
-127-
(ii) Tenant Mortgagee shall have commenced to
acquire Tenant's Estate or to commence foreclosure or other appropriate
proceedings under the Tenant Mortgage within the time periods prescribed
under Section 13.1.4 above;

Estate in and/or obtain possession of the Property, then, during the period
of such ownership and/or possession of the Property, Tenant Mortgagee shall,
subject to Section 13.1.8 below;
(A) cure or commence to cure all
non-monetary Events of Default that are reasonably susceptible to being cured
by Tenant Mortgagee; and
(B) perform and observe all other
agreements, covenants and conditions which are to be performed or observed by
Tenant under the Lease after the date of such acquisition.
(iv) if any third party shall, by foreclosure or
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure under the Tenant Mortgage or by assignment or
other transfer from Tenant Mortgagee, acquire Tenant's Estate under this
Lease, such third party shall, subject to Section 13.1.8 below:
(A) cure or commence to cure all
non-monetary Events of Default that are reasonably susceptible to being cured
by such third-party; and
(B) perform and observe all other
agreements, covenants and conditions which are to be performed and observed
by Tenant under this Lease after the date of such acquisition.
-128-
13.1.6 RIGHTS UPON BANKRUPTCY, INSOLVENCY. If Tenant
Mortgagee is prohibited by any order, stay or injunction issued by any court
or by reason of any action of any court having jurisdiction of any bankruptcy
or insolvency proceedings involving Tenant from commencing or prosecuting
foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings to acquire or foreclose upon
Tenant's Estate in and/or obtain possession of the Property, the time periods
specified in Sections 13.1.4 and 13.1.5 shall be extended for the period of
such prohibition, provided that Tenant Mortgagee shall have cured any Event
of Default in the payment of any monetary obligations of Tenant and shall
have cured any subsequent Event(s) of Default in the payment of monetary
obligations of Tenant under this Lease within sixty (60) days following
delivery to the Tenant Mortgagee of a written notice of the Event of Default
in question.
13.1.7 NOTICES. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant
Mortgagee, by personal delivery or by certified mail, postage prepaid, a
duplicate copy of any notice of (i) any default by Tenant under this Lease,
or (ii) a termination of this Lease. The copy of any such notice shall be
delivered to Tenant Mortgagee concurrently with the delivery of such notice
to Tenant, provided that Tenant or Tenant Mortgagee has provided written
notice to Landlord of the name and address of Tenant Mortgagee. No such
notice by Landlord to Tenant shall be effective against Tenant or be deemed
to have been duly given to Tenant unless and until a copy of such notice
shall have been delivered to Tenant Mortgagee as required by this Section
13.1.7. Landlord expressly agrees that it shall have no right to effect a
termination of this Lease in the case of an Event of Default by Tenant unless
it has provided a copy of the foregoing notice(s) to Tenant Mortgagee as and
when required by this Section
-129-
13.1.7 and provided the Tenant Mortgagee with the opportunity to exercise the
rights of Tenant Mortgagee under Sections 13.1.4 and 13.1.5 above.
13.1.8 RIGHTS AND LIABILITY UPON ACQUISITION OF TENANT'S
ESTATE. If Tenant Mortgagee or any third party shall acquire Tenant's Estate
through foreclosure of the Tenant Mortgage or any sale thereunder, whether by
judicial proceedings or by virtue of any power reserved in the Tenant
Mortgage, transfer or other conveyance of Tenant's Estate to Tenant Mortgagee
(including, without limitation, a sale or an assignment in lieu of
foreclosure) or the exercise by Tenant Mortgagee of any right, power or
privilege reserved in the Tenant Mortgage, or if any third party shall
acquire Tenant's Estate from Tenant Mortgagee (by purchase and sale or
otherwise) following Tenant Mortgagee's acquisition of Tenant's Estate as
described hereinabove, Landlord shall recognize Tenant Mortgagee or any such
third party, as the case may be, as the successor-in-interest to Tenant under
this Lease and DDA. Such third party shall promptly execute a written
assumption agreement in which such third party assumes the obligations of
Tenant in this Lease, in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, in no
event shall any act or omission of Tenant Mortgagee (including, without
limitation, the acquisition of Tenant's Estate in a transaction described in
this Section 13.1.8 or the taking of possession of the Property or Leasehold
Improvements through a receiver or other means) require Tenant Mortgagee to
assume, or cause Tenant Mortgagee to be deemed to have assumed, any
obligation or liability of Tenant under this Lease, and Tenant Mortgagee
shall have no personal liability to Landlord for Tenant Mortgagee's failure
to so perform and observe any agreement, covenant or
-130-
conditions of Tenant under this Lease, it being expressly understood and
agreed that, in the event of any such failure, Landlord's sole and exclusive
remedy shall be to terminate this Lease, without any recourse or claim for
damages against Tenant Mortgagee.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, in the
event of any transfer of Tenant's Estate to Tenant Mortgagee or any third
party by or through foreclosure of the Tenant Mortgage or any sale
thereunder, whether by judicial proceedings or by virtue of any power
reserved in the Tenant Mortgage, transfer or other conveyance of Tenant's
Estate to Tenant Mortgagee (including, without limitation, a sale or an
assignment in lieu of foreclosure) or the exercise by Tenant Mortgagee of any
right, power or privilege reserved in the Tenant Mortgage:
(i) except as expressly provided in subpart (iii)
below, any third party acquiring Tenant's Estate shall perform the
obligations imposed upon Tenant under this Lease commencing from the date
that such transferee obtains possession of the Property or is entitled to
possession thereof following such party's acquisition of Tenant's Estate
("Acquisition Date");
(ii) the acquisition by Tenant Mortgagee or any
third-party of Tenant's Estate through the aforesaid mechanisms shall not
release Guarantor or Tenant from their respective obligations under this
Lease;
(iii) as of the Acquisition Date, this Lease shall
be deemed amended to provide as follows:
-131-
(A) the obligations of Tenant under this
Lease to construct the Initial Project and/or to restore any Leasehold
Improvements following any casualty or condemnation, including, without
limitation, the obligations of Tenant set forth in Sections 6.2, 6.5, 8.2.1
and 9.3.(C) above, shall not be binding upon Tenant Mortgagee or its
successors and assigns in the Tenant Mortgage;
(B) the obligations of Tenant to
indemnify, defend, protect and/or hold Landlord harmless with respect to any
Environmental Claim or other Claim arising (on an "occurrence" basis) prior
to the Acquisition Date (including, without limitation, any Environmental
Claim or Claim arising under Section 4.5.4 or 7.4 of this Lease) shall not be
binding upon Tenant Mortgagee or any such third-party acquiring Tenant's
Estate or their respective successors and assigns;
(C) the obligations of Tenant to conduct
Environmental Construction Activities or to otherwise indemnify, defend,
protect or hold Landlord harmless with respect to (1) any Tenant
Environmental Indemnity Obligation accruing (on an "occurrence" basis) prior
to the Acquisition Date, (2) any Contamination existing on the Acquisition
Date, and (iii) any Hazardous Material Activity conducted prior to such
Acquisition Date, shall not be binding upon Tenant Mortgagee or any such
third-party acquiring Tenant's Estate or their successors and assigns; and
(D) the representations and warranties of
Tenant under this Lease shall not be binding upon Tenant Mortgagee or any
such third-party acquiring Tenant's Estate or their successors and assigns.
-132-
(iv) if a third party shall acquire Tenant's Estate
in the manner described in this Section 13.1.8 above and, as of the
Acquisition Date, such third party (or any guarantor of the third party's
obligations under this Lease) does not satisfy the financial criteria set
forth in Section 11.1.2(B) above, and the Guaranty has been or is thereafter
terminated pursuant to Section 20 of the Guaranty, then Section 4.5.8 of this
Lease shall be deemed amended to provide Landlord with such common law,
statutory or other rights of set-off against Landlord's Environmental
Indemnity Obligations to the extent of any Claim(s) held by Landlord arising
from such third-party's failure to perform any of its obligations under this
Lease (including, without limitation, Tenant's Environmental Indemnity
Obligations accruing from and after the Acquisition Date). In no event shall
this subparagraph (iv) apply to a Tenant Mortgagee during the Tenant
Mortgagee's ownership of Tenant's Estate or affect in any manner the
provisions of Article 10 hereof.
At the request of Tenant Mortgagee or such third-party, Landlord
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such documents and instruments as may
be reasonably requested for purposes of confirming the amendments to this
Lease under Subpart (iii) above, including, without limitation, a written
amendment to this Lease (in recordable form) in form and substance
satisfactory to Tenant Mortgagee or such third-party.
13.1.9 LEASE UPON TERMINATION. In the event of the
termination of this Lease, whether by reason of the bankruptcy of Tenant and
rejection of this Lease by the trustee in bankruptcy or Tenant as
debtor-in-possession, an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease,
operation of law or any other reason, Landlord agrees
-133-
that this Lease shall not terminate as to Tenant Mortgagee and that this
Lease shall, without any further act or action, automatically continue upon
the same terms and conditions, provided that Tenant Mortgagee complies with
Sections 13.1.4 through 13.1.6 above as appropriate. Without limiting the
effect of the preceding sentences of this Section 13.1.9, Landlord agrees to
execute such additional documents as may be requested by Tenant Mortgagee
from time to time to confirm or carry out the intent of this Section 13.1.9,
including entering a new lease if Tenant Mortgagee so elects upon the same
terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease for the remainder of the
Lease Term. Such new lease shall be of the same priority as this Lease.
13.1.10 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Upon Tenant Mortgagee's
written request, Landlord shall, without charge, provide Tenant Mortgagee
with an estoppel certificate which shall certify to Tenant Mortgagee, to the
best of Landlord's knowledge, (i) as to the full satisfaction and compliance
by Tenant of any payments, covenants or conditions required to be paid and/or
performed by Tenant under this Lease; (ii) that Tenant is not in default in
the payment, performance or observance of any condition or covenant to be
performed or observed by Tenant under this Lease, or if any such default
exists, specifying such default; (iii) that there are no offsets or
counterclaims on the part of Landlord with respect to this Lease, or setting
forth such offsets or counterclaims; and (iv) as to such other matters
related to this Lease as Tenant Mortgagee may reasonably request.
13.1.11 NO MERGER. So long as any of the obligations
secured by the Tenant Mortgage remain unsatisfied and the Tenant Mortgage
remains of record,
-134-
there shall be no merger of this Lease or Tenant's Estate created thereby
with the fee estate in the Land.
13.1.12 PERMITTED TRANSFER. For the benefit of Tenant
Mortgagee, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything
contained in this Lease to the contrary,
(i) the foreclosure of the Tenant Mortgage or any
sale thereunder, whether by judicial proceedings or by virtue of any power
reserved in the Tenant Mortgage, the transfer or other conveyance of Tenant's
Estate to Tenant Mortgagee (including, without limitation, a sale or
assignment in lieu of foreclosure) or the exercise by Tenant Mortgagee of any
right, power or privilege reserved in the Tenant Mortgage, shall not be held
in violation of any of the terms and/or restrictions of this Lease;
(ii) a transfer of Tenant's Estate to Tenant
Mortgagee or any third party by or through foreclosure of the Tenant Mortgage
or any sale thereunder, whether by judicial proceedings or by virtue of any
power reserved in the Tenant Mortgage, the transfer or other conveyance of
Tenant's Estate to Tenant Mortgagee (including, without limitation, a sale or
an assignment in lieu of foreclosure) or the exercise by Tenant Mortgagee of
any right, power or privilege reserved in the Tenant Mortgage, shall be a
permitted transfer for purposes of this Lease and shall not require
Landlord's consent; and
(iii) If Tenant Mortgagee shall acquire Tenant's
Estate as a result of a sale under the Tenant Mortgage pursuant to a judgment
of foreclosure and sale,
-135-
or through any transfer or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or through
settlement or arising out of any pending or contemplated foreclosure action,
or otherwise, Tenant Mortgagee shall have the right to transfer its interest
in this Lease to any other person, firm or corporation without the consent of
Landlord, such transfer shall be a permitted transfer for purposes of this
Lease and to the extent Tenant Mortgagee shall have assumed liability under
this Lease, Tenant Mortgagee shall thereafter be released from all such
liability. At the request of Tenant Mortgagee, Landlord shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Tenant Mortgagee a written release evidencing the
foregoing.
13.1.13 ENCUMBRANCE ON FEE. Landlord may not encumber the
Landlord's Estate, or any portion thereof or interest therein with any
mortgage, deed of trust, or similar security instrument, except in accordance
with this Section 13.1.13. Landlord may from time to time place any
mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument upon all or any
portion of Landlord's Estate, as security for such loans(s) (a "Landlord's
Lien") as Landlord may desire, provided that such encumbrance shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section 13.1.13. Such Landlord's Lien on
the fee estate in the Property shall be expressly subordinate to and subject
in all respects to Tenant's Estate in this Lease (including any extension
hereof in accordance with the terms of this Lease and any lease entered into
pursuant to Section 13.1.9 above). Neither the creation, enforcement or
modification of a Landlord's Lien on Landlord's Estate or any sale
thereunder, whether by judicial proceedings or by virtue of any power
reserved therein, or the transfer or other conveyance of Landlord's Estate to
the holder thereof (including, without limitation, any deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure), shall terminate, extinguish or otherwise affect in any manner
the Lease, Tenant's Estate or any Tenant Mortgage,
-136-
or any amendments, modifications, extensions, substitutions or replacements
of the Tenant Mortgage, whether then existing or thereafter created, nor
release Landlord or Tenant from any of their respective obligations and
liabilities under this Lease.
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, Tenant's right of first
negotiation contained in Article 12 hereof shall not apply to (i) any
transfer of Landlord's Estate pursuant to a foreclosure sale or trustee's
sale under a Landlord's Lien encumbering Landlord's Estate, or (ii) any
transfer of Landlord's Estate by the holder of such Landlord's Lien following
the holder's acquisition of Landlord's Estate by foreclosure sale or
trustee's sale. Tenant's right of first negotiation, however, shall apply to
any transfer of Landlord's Estate or any portion thereof or interest therein
by a third party (other than to the holder of a Landlord's Lien) acquiring
Landlord's Estate through foreclosure, trustee's sale, or deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure. Tenant agrees to execute such documents and instruments, in
recordable form, as may be reasonably requested by the holder of such
mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument for purposes of
evidencing and/or confirming the foregoing.
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph to the contrary, if Landlord
desires to transfer Landlord's Estate by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or
similar conveyance to the holder of any Landlord's Lien, Landlord shall give
written notice to Tenant by Certified Mail setting forth the amount of all
principal, interest and other charges then outstanding under the loan secured
by such Landlord's Lien, together with such other terms and conditions as are
applicable to the proposed transfer. Tenant shall have a period of fifteen
(15) days to notify Landlord in writing of Tenant's desire to acquire
Landlord's Estate which is security for Landlord's Lien for a purchase price
equal to the then outstanding balance of principal, interest and other
-137-
charges secured by the Landlord's Lien and upon such other terms and
conditions as are contained in Landlord's notice. The Landlord's Estate will
be transferred free of the Landlord's Lien and the close of escrow shall
occur on a date that the parties mutually agree. If Tenant so notifies
Landlord that it will acquire such Landlord's Estate, the parties shall be
deemed to have entered into a binding contract on the terms and conditions
stated in Landlord's Notice. If Tenant fails to so notify Landlord, Landlord
may transfer the encumbered Landlord's Estate to the holder of the Landlord's
Lien on terms no more favorable to the holder of the Landlord's Lien than
those stated in the Landlord's Notice.
Landlord and any holder of a Landlord's Lien on Landlord's Estate
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and documents
reasonably requested from time to time by Tenant or Tenant Mortgagee to
confirm the foregoing, including, without limitation, a written agreement (in
recordable form) in form and substance satisfactory to Tenant and Tenant
Mortgagee, acknowledging, for the benefit of Tenant and Tenant Mortgagee and
their respective successors and assigns, that:
(i) such Landlord's Lien shall be expressly
subordinate and subject in all respects to the Lease (including any extension
hereof in accordance with the terms of this Lease and any new lease entered
into pursuant to Section 13.1.9, above), and Tenant's Estate in all respects;
(ii) the holder of such Landlord's Lien shall have
no rights in and to any proceeds arising from casualty to or condemnation of
the Property
-138-
and/or Leasehold Improvements except to the extent payable to Landlord under
the Lease;
(iii) neither the creation, enforcement or
modification of Landlord's Lien nor the foreclosure of any such mortgage,
deed of trust or other encumbrance on Landlord's Estate or any sale
thereunder, whether by judicial proceedings or by virtue of any power
reserved therein, or the transfer or other conveyance of Landlord's Estate to
the holder thereof (including, without limitation, any deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure), shall terminate, extinguish or otherwise affect in any manner
the Lease, Tenant's Estate or any Tenant Mortgage, or any amendments,
modifications, extensions of the Tenant Mortgage, or substitutions or
replacements thereof, whether then existing or thereafter created, and shall
not release Landlord or Tenant from any of their respective obligations and
liabilities under this Lease;
(iv) that any transferee acquiring Landlord's
Estate by reason of foreclosure of any Landlord's Lien on Landlord's Estate
or any sale thereunder, whether by judicial proceedings or by virtue of any
power reserved therein, or the transfer or other conveyance of Landlord's
Estate to the holder thereof (including, without limitation, any deed-in-lieu
of foreclosure), shall be deemed to have assumed all of the obligations and
liabilities of Landlord under this Lease except to the extent the same have
accrued prior to the date of transfer, and such transferee shall promptly
execute a written assumption agreement in form reasonably acceptable to
Tenant and Tenant Mortgagee; and
-139-
(v) such other matters as may be reasonably
requested by Tenant and/or Tenant Mortgagee.
13.1.14 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The terms of this Article
13 shall (i) inure to the benefit of each Tenant Mortgagee and its successors
and assigns in the Tenant Mortgage, or any portion thereof or interest
therein (and, to the extent applicable), any transferee or purchaser at a
foreclosure sale (whether by judicial proceedings or by virtue of any power
reserved in the Tenant Mortgagee, transfer or other conveyance of Tenant's
Estate to Tenant Mortgagee or the exercise by Tenant Mortgagee of any right,
power or privilege reserved in the Tenant Mortgagee), any transferee by sale
or assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure, and any transferee of Tenant Mortgagee
(by purchase and sale or otherwise) if Tenant Mortgagee shall acquire
Tenant's Estate through foreclosure, trustee's sale, assignment-in-lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise under the Tenant Mortgage; and (ii) survive any
foreclosure (whether by judicial foreclosure, trustee's sale or otherwise) or
acceptance of an assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure or any other exercise of
Tenant Mortgagee's rights under the Tenant Mortgage or any other documents
evidencing, securing or pertaining to the Tenant Mortgage.
13.1.15 AGREEMENT TO AMEND. Landlord recognizes the
importance of Tenant's ability to obtain Tenant Mortgages, and that the
provisions of this Lease may be subject to the approval of Tenant Mortgagees.
If Tenant Mortgagee should require, as a condition to such financing, any
modifications of this Lease, whether for purposes of clarifying the
provisions of this Lease or to include provisions then customary for
leasehold financing transactions, Landlord agrees to execute the appropriate
amendments to this Lease; provided, however, that no such
-140-
modification shall, to the detriment of Landlord, impair any of Landlord's
rights, or increase or change any of Landlord's obligations, under this Lease.
13.1.16 TENANT MORTGAGES SUBORDINATE TO LEASE. In no event
shall a Tenant Mortgage encumber Landlord's Estate in the Land. If this
Lease is terminated in accordance with this Article 13 and Tenant Mortgagee
does not elect to enter a new lease as provided in Section 13.1.9 above,
title to the Leasehold Improvements shall automatically vest in Landlord free
and clear of all rights and interests of the Tenant Mortgagee therein. In
such event, Tenant Mortgagee shall promptly provide Landlord with such
quitclaim deeds and/or assignments reasonably necessary to evidence the
foregoing.
ARTICLE 14
GENERAL PROVISIONS
14.1 GUARANTY. Tenant's performance under this Lease is guaranteed
by Guarantor under a separate Guaranty, which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT G
and is incorporated herein, and which shall be executed by Guarantor and
delivered to Landlord concurrently with the execution of this Lease. The
Guaranty will remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to
Section 11.1 above or Section 20 of the Guaranty. Notwithstanding the early
termination of the Guaranty, Guarantor shall have the right to reinstate the
Guaranty in accordance with Section 22 of the Guaranty by executing and
delivering a guaranty in the same form as attached hereto as EXHIBIT G, and
Landlord shall be deemed to have accepted such guaranty. In no event shall
Landlord have any right to take any action to reject or
-141-
otherwise terminate the Guaranty other than at Tenant's request pursuant to
Section 11.1.3, above.
14.2 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Each party agrees, within twenty (20)
days following request by the other, to execute and deliver to the other an
estoppel certificate (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and has not
been terminated, or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and
certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect and
the date to which the Monthly Rent and other charges are paid in advance, if
any; and (ii) acknowledging that, to the responding party's knowledge, there
are not any uncured defaults on the part of either party hereunder, or, if
there exist any such uncured defaults, stating the nature of such uncured
defaults; and (iii) evidencing the status of the Lease as may be reasonably
required either by a lender making a loan to be secured by all or any portion
of the Project or by a purchaser of all or any portion of the Project. A
party's failure to deliver an estoppel certificate as required herein within
twenty (20) days following receipt of written request therefor shall be
conclusive upon such party that, as of the date of said request (x) this
Lease has not been terminated and is without modification; (y) there are to
the responding party's knowledge no uncured defaults under this Lease on the
part of either party; and (z) no Monthly Rent or other charges have been paid
in advance, except as may otherwise be set forth in such request.
14.3 HOLDING OVER. Unless extended pursuant to Section 2.4.2
hereof, this Lease shall terminate without further notice on the Lease
Expiration Date. Any holding over by Tenant after the Lease expiration date
shall not constitute a renewal or extension of this Lease, or give Tenant any
rights in or to the Project except as
-142-
expressly provided herein. Subject to Section 2.5 above, any holding over
after the Lease Expiration Date with the written consent of Landlord shall be
construed to be a tenancy from month to month, 125 percent of the rental due
as of the last month of the term hereof, and shall otherwise be on the terms
and conditions herein specified insofar as applicable. Any holding over
after the Lease Expiration Date without the written consent of Landlord shall
be a tenancy at sufferance.

to this Lease shall be in writing with copies directed as indicated below
indicated and shall be personally delivered, or in lieu of personal delivery,
by depositing same with a prepaid commercial overnight courier for next day

and the names and addresses of any contractors and consultants who will enter

Estate and the Tenant's Estate free and clear of any mechanic's liens,

generally acceptable under reasonable risk management practices for similar

to provide certificates of insurance evidencing the coverages required above.
-156-
