EXHIBIT 10.48
LEASE AGREEMENT
(BUILDING A AND BUILDING C)
1. Parties. This Lease, dated for reference purposes as of
November 26, 1996, is made by and between SBC&D CO., INC., a California
corporation ("Landlord"), and CISCO SYSTEMS, INC., a California corporation
("Tenant").
2. Demise of Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and
Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth, those certain premises (the "Premises") to be situated on the real
property more particularly described in EXHIBIT "A" attached hereto (the
"Land") located in the City of San Xxxx, County of Santa Xxxxx, State of
California, described as follows:
(a) Those two (2) buildings to be constructed on the Land
by Landlord in accordance with the terms of the Improvement Agreement described
below and which are identified as "Building A" and "Building C" on the site
plan attached hereto as EXHIBIT "B" (hereinafter referred to as the "Buildings"
or "Building A and Building C"). Building A and Building C shall contain
approximately 150,000 square feet.
(b) The leasehold improvements to be constructed by
Landlord in Building A and Building C in accordance with the Improvement
Agreement (the "Tenant Improvements").
The Buildings and the Tenant Improvements are collectively referred to
in this Lease as the "Improvements". The Improvements are to be constructed by
Landlord in accordance with the Improvement Agreement attached hereto as
EXHIBIT "C" (the "Improvement Agreement").
Upon any termination of this Lease with respect to either Building A
or Building C and the Tenant Improvements therein pursuant to Subparagraph 4(c)
below, the term "Buildings" shall thereafter mean only the Building remaining
subject to this Lease, and the terms "Improvements" and "Premises" shall each
mean only the Building and Tenant Improvements remaining subject to this Lease.
In addition to the lease of the Premises described above, Landlord
hereby grants to Tenant the non-exclusive right to use the Common Area in
accordance with the terms of Paragraph 8 below. At such time as Tenant is
leasing both of the Buildings described under this Lease and both of the
Buildings described in the Adjacent Lease, Tenant shall be entitled to use all
of the parking spaces located on the Land (which total parking spaces shall be
equal to approximately one thousand ninety-one (1,091) parking spaces). In the
event Tenant is no longer the tenant of any Building under this Lease, Tenant's
right to use the parking areas within the Common Area under this Lease shall be
limited to the non-exclusive use of that number of parking spaces determined by
dividing the number of square feet of Building then leased by Tenant under this
Lease by 1,000 and then multiplying that quotient by four (4) and then
multiplying that product by eighty-five percent (85%). For example, if Tenant
vacates Building A covered by this Lease and continues to lease seventy-six
thousand square feet in Building B, then Tenant would be entitled to the
non-exclusive
-1-
2
use of two hundred fifty-eight (258) spaces under this Lease. Such 258 spaces
is arrived at by dividing 76,000 by 1,000, then multiplying that quotient (i.e.
76) by 4, and then multiplying that product (i.e. 304) by 85%. Landlord
reserves the right to grant to future tenants of Building A and/or Building C
(following the termination of this Lease with respect to either Building) and
tenants of the Adjacent Buildings referred to below, and to the agents,
employees, invitees, contractors, guests, customers and representatives of such
tenants, or to any other user authorized by Landlord, the non-exclusive right
to use the Common Area for pedestrian and vehicular ingress and egress and
vehicular parking.
3. Conditions Precedent. The effectiveness of this Lease is
hereby conditioned upon the satisfaction of the following conditions
precedent:
(i) Landlord's acquisition of the Land on or
before March 3, 1997; and
(ii) Landlord's obtaining a binding, written
commitment or agreement for the financing, joint venture development or sale of
the Premises on or before January 10, 1997, that is acceptable in form and
substance to Landlord in its sole discretion, and which commitment or agreement
is in a form and content acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion; and
(iii) Landlord and Tenant concurrently herewith
entering into another lease agreement (the "Adjacent Lease") on terms
substantially the same as this lease covering two (2) additional buildings (and
leasehold improvements therein) to be constructed by Landlord on another
portion of the Land. Such additional two buildings are hereinafter referred to
herein as "Building B and Building D" or the "Adjacent Buildings".
With respect to the condition set forth in clause (i) above, Landlord
hereby agrees that in the event Landlord does not acquire the Land by January
10, 1997, then, provided the seller of the Land does not breach its obligation
to sell the Land and provided further that all contingencies to Landlord's
obligation to close escrow on the Land are satisfied, Landlord (or its
successor or assign) shall acquire the Land upon the earlier of (A) the date
five (5) business days following the date such seller obtains a water quality
certification (approved by Landlord) or waiver of such certification from the
San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board, or (B) March 3, 1997.
If any of the foregoing conditions precedent are not satisfied by the
applicable outside dates established therefor, then Landlord may terminate
this Lease by written notice to Tenant given not later than three (3) business
days following the outside date established for satisfaction of the applicable
condition precedent as set forth above. Upon any such termination of this
Lease, neither party shall have any obligations to the other in connection with
or under this Lease except for obligations accruing prior to the termination
and obligations which, by their terms, survive the termination of this Lease.
If any of the foregoing conditions precedent are not satisfied on or
before March 3, 1997, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease
by written notice to Landlord given not later than the earlier of (y) the date
such conditions are satisfied, or (z) March
-2-
3
10, 1997. In the event that Tenant fails to give such notice of termination
by the earlier of the dates set forth in clause (y) and (z) of the immediately
preceding sentence, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to
terminate this Lease as provided above.
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may subdivide or parcelize
the Land into two (2) separate legal parcels, each containing approximately the
same square footage as the other. If Landlord so subdivides or parcelizes the
Land into two (2) separate legal parcels as described above, Building A and
Building C shall be situated on one of the legal parcels and Building B and
Building D shall be located on the other legal parcel. Tenant has no objection
to Landlord subdividing or parcelizing the Land as described above and Tenant
agrees to reasonably cooperate with Landlord, at no material cost to Tenant, in
any such subdivision or parcelization of the Land as described above.
4. Lease Term.
(a) Lease Term. The term of this Lease ("Lease Term")
shall be for the period commencing on the Commencement Date (as defined below)
and ending four (4) years following the later of the Substantial Completion
Date (as defined in Subparagraph 4(a) below) under this Lease or the
Substantial Completion Date (as defined in Subparagraph 4(a) of the Adjacent
Lease) under the Adjacent Lease; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the
right to terminate this Lease as to Building A and/or Building C pursuant to
Subparagraph 3(c) below and Tenant shall have the right to extend the Lease
Term as to both Buildings (but not one of the Buildings) pursuant to
Subparagraph 3(d) below.
(b) Commencement Date. As used in this Lease, the term
"Commencement Date" shall mean the earlier of: (i) the date on which all
Improvements to be constructed by Landlord under the Improvement Agreement have
been substantially completed (the "Substantial Completion Date"), or (ii) the
date Tenant commences its business operations in Building A or Building C. Such
Improvements shall be deemed substantially completed upon the occurrence of the
earlier of the following:
(i) the date on which all Improvements to be
constructed by Landlord have been substantially completed except for (1) punch
list items which do not prevent Tenant from using the Buildings for their
intended use, and (2) such work as Landlord is required to perform but which is
delayed because of tenant delays as described in paragraph 7 of the Improvement
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "C"; or
(ii) the date the City of San Xxxx completes a
final inspection of Building A and Building C and the Tenant Improvements to be
constructed therein and the building inspector issues or gives his/her final
sign off on the applicable building permit covering such Buildings and Tenant
Improvements.
Landlord agrees to exercise diligent, good faith efforts to
substantially complete construction of the respective Buildings and the Tenant
Improvements therein (and the parking areas and common area access appurtenant
thereto ) not later than the applicable dates set forth immediately below:
-3-
4
Building A (and parking areas October 15, 1997
and common area access
appurtenant thereto)
Building C (and parking areas October 30, 1997
and common area access
appurtenant thereto)
If Building A, Building C and the parking areas and common area access
appurtenant thereto to be constructed by Landlord pursuant to the terms of
Exhibit "C" are not substantially completed on or before the target dates set
forth above, then Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or loss incurred
by Tenant for Landlord's failure for whatever cause to deliver possession of
the Buildings by a particular date, nor shall this Lease be void or voidable on
account of such failure to deliver possession of the Buildings; provided,
however, if Landlord does not deliver possession of the Buildings to Tenant by
March 1, 1998, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written
notice delivered to Landlord within five (5) days thereafter, and Landlord and
Tenant shall be relieved of their respective obligations hereunder; provided
further that the date of March 1, 1998 above shall be extended by the number of
days the work on the improvements to be constructed by Landlord is delayed due
to tenant delays as described in paragraph 7 of the Improvement Agreement
attached hereto as EXHIBIT "C". In the event of any such termination by Tenant
for failure of Landlord to deliver possession of a Building to Tenant by March
1, 1998, as such date may be extended by Tenant delays as described above,
Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for all costs of construction of
tenant improvements paid by Tenant solely with respect to the applicable
Building or Buildings under this Lease for which possession has not been
delivered to Tenant.
(c) Termination Options. Provided Tenant is not in
default both as of the date Tenant exercises the applicable Termination Option
described herein and as of the termination of this Lease with respect to the
applicable Building and Tenant Improvements therein, Tenant shall have the
right to terminate this Lease with respect to a single Building designated by
Tenant (the "Termination Options") as of the last day of the first, second and
third quarters of the last twelve months of the initial Lease Term (the
"Termination Dates") by giving written notice to Landlord of the applicable
Building and termination no later than ninety (90) days prior to the applicable
Termination Date and by vacating and surrendering possession of the applicable
Building and Tenant Improvements therein in accordance with the provisions of
Paragraph 34 below; provided, however, if Tenant exercises its Termination
Option as to either Building B or Building D under the Adjacent Lease prior to
the exercise of any Termination Option as to Building A or Building C hereunder,
then Tenant shall not have the right to exercise the Termination Option as to
Building A or Building C until Tenant has exercised the Termination Option
under the Adjacent Lease as to both Building B and Building D. Tenant further
agrees that under no circumstances shall it be permitted to exercise the
Termination Option under this Lease and under the Adjacent Lease concurrently.
If Tenant timely exercises a Termination Option with respect to Building A or
Building C and the Tenant Improvements located therein,
-4-
5
then such termination as to such applicable Building and Tenant Improvements
located therein shall be effective as of the date Tenant vacates and surrenders
possession of the applicable Building and Tenant Improvements in accordance
with the provisions of Paragraph 34 below, but in no event earlier than the
applicable Termination Date. In the event this Lease is terminated by Tenant
as to any Building, Tenant shall be excused from obligations under this Lease
with respect to such Building which would have otherwise accrued following the
effective date of such termination. Upon the effective date of each early
termination of this Lease with respect to a Building, Tenant's Proportionate
Share (defined in Subparagraph 8(e)(ii) below) shall be appropriately reduced
in accordance with Subparagraph 8(e)(ii). Anything in this Lease to the
contrary notwithstanding, the parties hereto agree that if Tenant exercises any
Termination Option under this Subparagraph 4(c), Tenant shall have no right to
extend the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of Subparagraph 4(d) below as to
either Building A or Building C, or both Buildings, and any exercise of an
Extension Option by Tenant hereunder after any exercise of a Termination Option
hereunder shall be deemed void and of no force or effect. In addition,
anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, if Tenant exercises any
Extension Option described below, then Tenant shall have no right to terminate
this Lease early as to Building A or Building C or the Tenant Improvements
therein as provided in this Subparagraph 4(c) and any exercise of a Termination
Option hereunder by Tenant after any exercise of an Extension Option hereunder
shall be deemed void and of not force or effect.
(d) Extension Options. Subject to the terms of
Subparagraph 4(c) above, Tenant shall have either two (2) options to extend the
Lease Term for a period of one (1) year each or, alternatively, one (1) option
to extend the Lease Term for a period of three (3) years (such applicable
option(s) hereinafter being referred to as the "Extension Options" and the
period(s) or term(s) of such applicable Extension Option hereinafter being
referred to as the "Extension Terms") provided that Tenant is not in default
both as of the date Tenant exercises the applicable Extension Option and as of
the first day of the applicable Extension Term, and provided, further, that
Tenant gives Landlord written notice of Tenant's exercise of the applicable
Extension Option at least one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the end
of the then-current Lease Term. If Tenant first exercises an Extension Option
for a term of one (1) year, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived the
right to exercise the Extension Option for a period of three (3) years.
Conversely, if Tenant first exercises the Extension Option for a period of
three (3) years, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived the right to
exercise the Extension Options for a period of one (1) year each. If Tenant
timely exercises an Extension Option in the manner prescribed herein, then such
exercise shall be with respect to both Building A and Building C. All of the
terms of this Lease shall apply to each Extension Term, except that the Monthly
Installment of rent shall be calculated as set forth in Subparagraph 5(b)
below, Tenant shall not be entitled to any additional Extension Options or
Termination Options, and the provisions of EXHIBIT "C" shall not be applicable
to the Extension Terms. If Tenant fails to exercise, or fails to effectively
exercise, the first one (1) year Extension Option, then the second one (1) year
Extension Option shall be void and of no force or effect. The one-year
Extension Options shall be personal to Cisco Systems, Inc. and may not be
assigned to, transferred to or exercised for the benefit of any third party
(other than an Affiliate of Tenant as defined in Paragraph 25 below). Any
exercise of one-year Extension Option by or on behalf of any assignee,
sublessee or transferee (other than an Affiliate of Tenant) of
-5-
6
Tenant's rights or interests in this Lease or the Premises, or any portion
thereof, shall be void and of no force and effect. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to assign the three-year Extension
Option to an Affiliate of Tenant or to an assignee, sublessee or transferee of
the Premises, or portion thereof, approved by Landlord under this Lease;
provided, however, in such instance, Cisco Systems, Inc. shall not be relieved
or released of Tenant's obligations under this Lease during such three-year
Extension Term. Tenant shall have no right to exercise an Extension Option if
Tenant has previously exercised a Termination Option as to Building A or
Building C as described in Subparagraph 4(c).
(e) Early Entry. Tenant may enter the Buildings prior to
the Commencement Date to install fixtures and equipment therein, provided
Tenant first obtains the prior written approval of Landlord for such entry,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld but which Landlord may
withhold if Landlord determines in its reasonable discretion that such entry
will delay completion of construction of the Improvements which Landlord is
required to construct pursuant to EXHIBIT "C". If Landlord permits Tenant to
so enter upon the Premises, such entry shall be subject to all of the terms and
conditions of this Lease, excepting only the obligation to pay the Monthly
Installment of rent or Additional Rent (as defined in Subparagraph 5(d) below).
Tenant shall coordinate its entry onto the Premises with Landlord and the
contractors and other personnel employed by Landlord. Tenant shall at all
times while exercising its right of entry, refrain from interfering with the
construction activities of Landlord's personnel. In any case, Tenant shall
repair any damage to the Improvements constructed by Landlord resulting from
the entry upon the Premises by Tenant or Tenant's Agents prior to the
Commencement Date or caused by the installation of fixtures and equipment by
Tenant or Tenant's Agents. If the entry by Tenant or Tenant's Agents upon the
Premises prior to the Commencement Date interferes with Landlord's construction
activities, then Landlord shall give Tenant written notice requesting that
Tenant cease such interference. If Tenant does not immediately comply with
such notice from Landlord requesting that Tenant cease interference with
Landlord's construction activities, and if the entry by Tenant prior to the
Commencement Date causes a delay in completing the construction of the
Improvements, then the Commencement Date shall be deemed to have occurred on
the date the Improvements would have been completed had there been no such
delay caused by Tenant or its a, employees, contractors or representatives. If
Tenant does not immediately comply with notice from Landlord requesting that
Tenant cease any interference with Landlord's construction activities, Tenant
shall be required to vacate the Premises and shall have no further right to
enter the Premises until the Commencement Date.
5. Rent.
(a) Time of Payment. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as
rent for the Premises the respective sums specified in Subparagraph 5(b) below
(the "Monthly Installment") each month in advance on the first day of each
calendar month, without deduction or offset, prior notice or demand, commencing
on the Rent Commencement Date (defined below) and continuing through the Lease
Term (as extended, if at all, pursuant to Subparagraph 4(d) above), together
with such additional rents as are payable by Tenant to Landlord under the terms
of this Lease. The Monthly Installment for any period during the
-6-
7
Lease Term which is less than one (1) full month shall be a pro rata portion of
the Monthly Installment based upon a thirty (30) day month. For purposes
hereof, the "Rent Commencement Date" shall mean the Substantial Completion Date
as described in Subparagraph 4(b), except that if Tenant commences its business
operations in either Building A and/or Building C prior to the Substantial
Completion Date, then the Rent Commencement Date as to the applicable
Building(s) in which Tenant has commenced its business operations shall be
the date that Tenant first commenced such business operations in the applicable
Building(s).
(b) Monthly Installment. The Monthly Installment of rent
for the period commencing on the Commencement Date of this Lease and ending on
the Substantial Completion Date (if the Commencement Date and Substantial
Completion Date are different dates) and the Monthly Installment of rent for
the first year of the lease Term, commencing on the Substantial Completion
Date, shall be equal to One Hundred Five Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty Dollars
($105,820) per month for Building A and One Hundred Eight Thousand Six Hundred
Eighty Dollars ($108,680) per month for Building C.
The Monthly Installment of rent during the Lease years following the
first year of the Lease Term (including, without limitation, during each
Extension Term) shall be the Monthly installment of rent for the immediately
preceding year plus an additional Three Thousand Seven Hundred Dollars ($3,700)
per month for Building A and Three Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars ($3,800) per
month for Building C (which totals an additional Seven Thousand Five Hundred
Dollars ($7,500) per month for Building A and Building C). Such Seven Thousand
Five Hundred Dollar ($7,500) monthly increase on each anniversary of the
Commencement Date as provided in the immediately preceding sentence is the
equivalent of a Five Cent ($0.05) per rentable square foot per month increase
in the monthly rental rate for the Buildings on each anniversary of the
Commencement Date.
(c) Late Charges. Tenant acknowledges that late payment
by Tenant to Landlord of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord
to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will
be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited
to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on
Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises.
Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall
not be received by Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord's delivery to
Tenant of written notice stating that such amount has not been paid when due,
then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, a late charge equal to
six percent (6%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such
late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord
will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge
by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with
respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of its
other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
(d) Additional Rent. All taxes, insurance premiums,
Common Area Expenses (as defined in Subparagraph 8(b)), late charges, costs,
expenses and other sums which Tenant is required to pay under this Lease,
together with all interest and penalties
-7-
8
that may accrue thereon in the event of Tenant's failure to pay such amounts,
and all reasonable damages, costs, and attorneys' fees and expenses which
Landlord may incur by reason of any default of Tenant or failure on Tenant's
part to comply with the terms of this Lease, shall be deemed to be additional
rent ("Additional Rent") and shall be paid, commencing as of the applicable
Rent Commencement Date, in addition to the Monthly Installment of rent, and, in
the event of nonpayment by Tenant, Landlord shall have all of the rights and
remedies with respect thereto as Landlord has for the nonpayment of the Monthly
Installment of rent.
(e) Place of Payment. Rent shall be payable in lawful
money of the United States of America to Landlord at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 or to such other person(s) or at such other place(s)
as Landlord may designate in writing.
(f) Advance Payment. Not later than two (2) days
following the date the condition set forth in Paragraph 3(ii) above is
satisfied and Tenant is notified in writing of such fact, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the Monthly Installment of Rent in the amount of Two Hundred Fourteen
Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($214,500) for the first full month following the
Substantial Completion Date.
6. Security Deposit. Tenant shall not be obligated to deliver a
security deposit to Landlord.
7. Use of Premises.
(a) Restrictions on Use. Tenant shall use the Premises
for any lawful purpose provided such use is in conformance and compliance with
all applicable governmental laws, regulations, rules and ordinances including,
without limitation, all applicable environmental and zoning and land use laws,
regulations, rules, and ordinances (collectively, "Laws"). Tenant shall
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless against any loss, expense, damage,
attorneys' fees or liabilities arising out of the failure of Tenant to comply
with any Law applicable to Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises. Tenant
shall not commit or suffer to be committed, any waste upon the Premises, or any
nuisance, or other acts or things which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any
other tenant in Building A or Building C (in the event Tenant exercises its
Termination Option with respect to Building A and/or Building C) or in Building
B or Building D, or allow any sale by auction upon the Premises, or allow the
Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose, or place any loads upon the
floor, walls or ceiling which would endanger the structure, or place any
harmful liquids in the drainage system of the Premises. No waste materials or
refuse shall be dumped upon or permitted to remain upon any part of the
Premises outside of the Buildings, except in trash containers placed inside
exterior enclosures designated for that purpose by Landlord. No materials,
supplies, equipment, finished products or semifinished products, raw materials
or articles of any nature shall be stored upon or permitted to remain on any
portion of the Parcel outside of the Buildings. Tenant shall strictly comply
with the provisions of Paragraph 39 below.
(b) Wetlands. Tenant acknowledges that certain wetlands
areas, consisting of approximately 5.3 acres, currently exist on the Land and
that the current owner of the
-8-
9
Land has been authorized, under 33 CFR 330 Appendix A, Department of the Army
Nationwide Permit 26, Headwaters and Isolated Waters pursuant to Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act (33 U. S. C. 1344) to fill such wetlands areas. Such
authorization to fill the wetlands areas is subject to compliance of the
Nationwide Permit Conditions attached to the Nationwide Permit referred to
above and the special condition attached to such Nationwide Permit
authorization. A copy of such Nationwide Permit authorization dated September
11, 1996 (File No. 17991S) has been provided to Tenant for its information.
Tenant agrees on behalf of itself and its agents, employees, contractors,
representatives, invitees, licensees, assignees and sublessees, not to violate
any of the terms or conditions of the Nationwide Permit authorization referred
to above and not to modify any portion of the wetlands areas to be filled, or
caused to be filled, by Landlord. Tenant further agrees that if it assigns
or sublets any portion of the Premises as permitted by the terms of this Lease,
Tenant shall, prior to the effective date of such assignment or subletting,
disclose in writing to such assignee or sublessee that the Nationwide Permit
authorization referred to above exists (and provide a copy of the same to such
permitted assignee or sublessee) and require that such assignee or sublessee
(and any of its assignees or sublessees) agree in writing not to violate any of
the terms or conditions of the Nationwide Permit authorization referred to
above.
(c) Initial Occupancy. Tenant shall be obligated to take
possession and enter into occupancy of the Premises within thirty (30) days
following the Substantial Completion Date; provided, however, that Landlord's
sole remedy for breach of this covenant alone, at Landlord's election by
written notice to Tenant, shall be to terminate this Lease. In the event of
such termination under this clause (c), neither party shall have any further
obligations under this Lease except Landlord's and Tenant's respective
indemnification obligations under this Lease shall survive such termination of
this Lease.
8. Common Area.
(a) Landlord's Obligations. Landlord shall maintain the
Common Area (defined below) in a manner consistent with the maintenance of
common areas at comparable Buildings in North San Xxxx. Landlord shall at all
times have exclusive control of the Common Area and may at any time, for
purposes of repair, replacement, maintenance, security, operation, or
management of the Common Area, or any portion thereof, or to cut off any
prescriptive rights in any portion of the Common Area, temporarily close any
part thereof (so long as such closure does not materially interfere with
Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises), exclude and restrain anyone from
any part thereof, except the bona fide customers, employees and invitees of
Tenant who use the Common Area in accordance with the reasonable rules and
regulations as Landlord may from time to time promulgate. Landlord shall have
the right to reconfigure or modify the Common Area and parking areas and
ingress and egress to and from the parking area, and to modify the directional
flow of traffic in the parking area or construct or install improvements
therein, provided such changes or improvements to the Common Area shall not
decrease the number of parking spaces on the site (unless reduction is
necessary to comply with governmental laws, rules, codes or ordinances),
materially impair access to the Premises or materially interfere with Tenant's
use and enjoyment of the Premises.
-9-
10
In the event Landlord fails to properly maintain the Common Areas in
accordance with the terms set forth above, and such failure continues for a
period of at least thirty (30) days following the receipt of written notice
from Tenant to Landlord, Tenant shall have the right, so long as there are no
other tenants under lease of all or any part of Building A, Building B,
Building C or Building D, to cure Landlord's default in the maintenance of the
Common Area. Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant, within thirty (30) days
following receipt of written invoices or statements from Tenant, for the
reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in curing Landlord's default in the
maintenance of the Common Areas. If Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant within
the time period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, then Tenant's
sole remedy for such failure is to bring an action against Landlord for damages
and Tenant shall have no right to offset or deduct such costs reasonably
incurred in curing Landlord's default against the Monthly Installment of rent
or any Additional Rent.
(b) Tenant to Pay Common Area Expenses. Tenant shall
pay, as Additional Rent, Tenant's Proportionate Share (defined below) of all
costs and expenses as may be paid or incurred by Landlord in maintaining,
operating and repairing the entire Common Area situated on the Land (the
"Common Area Expenses") during the Term.
(c) Monthly Payments. From and after the Rent
Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each
calendar month of the Term an amount reasonably estimated by Landlord to be
Tenant's Proportionate Share of the monthly Common Area Expenses. The
foregoing estimated monthly charge may be adjusted by Landlord at the end of
each calendar year on the basis of Landlord's experience and reasonably
anticipated costs. At Tenant's written request, Landlord shall provide
reasonable evidence of how Landlord estimated the monthly Common Area Expenses
and/or how Landlord made any adjustment of said estimate. Any such adjustment
shall be effective as of the calendar month next succeeding receipt by Tenant
of written notice of such adjustment.
(d) Accounting. Within one hundred twenty (120) days
following the end of each calendar year Landlord shall furnish Tenant a
statement of the actual Common Area Expenses for the calendar year and the
payments made by Tenant with respect to such period. If Tenant's payments of
its Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses do not equal the amount of the
actual Common Area Expenses, Tenant shall pay Landlord the deficiency within
thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement. If Tenant's payments of
Tenant's Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses exceed Tenant's
Proportionate Share of the actual Common Area Expenses, Landlord shall either
offset the excess against the Common Area Expenses next thereafter to become
due to Landlord or shall refund the amount of the overpayments to Tenant.
There shall be appropriate adjustments of the Common Area Expenses as of the
Commencement Date and expiration of the Term. Tenant shall have the right, at
its own expense and upon written notice to Landlord, but in no event more often
than once any calendar year, to audit Landlord's books and records regarding
the Common Area Expenses, provided, however, that Tenant shall keep the results
of such audits confidential except to the extent required to be disclosed by
law or to the extent necessary to be disclosed in a legal proceeding with
Landlord relating to the amount of Common Area Expenses. The preceding
sentence to the contrary
-10-
11
notwithstanding, if the aforementioned audit discloses a discrepancy of two
percent (2%) or more of the Common Area Expenses owed by Tenant for the
applicable calendar year, Landlord shall pay Tenant's cost of the audit, not
to exceed Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000).
(e) Definitions. As used herein, the following terms
shall have the following definitions:
(i) "Common Area" shall mean all portions of the
Land outside of the Buildings (excluding the exterior surfaces of the
Buildings, which are to be maintained and cleaned by Landlord at Landlord's
cost), including, without limitation, the parking areas and landscaping located
on the Land; provided, however, that if the Land is subdivided in accordance
with the last paragraph of Paragraph 3 above and at any time thereafter, the
subdivided parcels comprising the Land are no longer owned by the same person
or entity, then "Common Area" shall mean all portions of the subdivided parcel
in which Building A and Building C are situated that are outside of such
Buildings (excluding the exterior surfaces of the Buildings, which are to be
maintained and cleaned by Landlord at Landlord's cost), including, without
limitation, the parking areas and landscaping located on such subdivided
parcel. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use the Common Area, and
Tenant's use of the Common Area shall be in common with the owner(s) and
occupants of any Building as to which Tenant terminates this Lease pursuant to
Subparagraph 4(c) above (and the owner(s) and occupants of Building B and/or
Building D in the event Tenant terminates the Adjacent Lease as to either
Building B or Building D, or both), and their respective agents, contractors,
employees, guests and invitees. As provided above, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, in the event Tenant is no longer the tenant of any
Building under this Lease, Tenant's right under this Lease to use the parking
areas within the Common Area shall be limited to the non-exclusive use of that
number of parking spaces determined by dividing the number of square feet of
Building then leased by Tenant under this Lease by 1,000 and then multiplying
that quotient by four (4) and then multiplying that product by eighty-five
percent (85%). In no event shall Tenant be entitled to the non-exclusive use
of less than the number of parking spaces required to be provided to Tenant
under City of San Xxxx ordinances or codes.
(ii) "Tenant's Proportionate Share" shall mean the
percentage determined by dividing the rentable area leased by Tenant in the
Buildings by the rentable area of all buildings on the Land; provided,
however, that if the Land is subdivided in accordance with the last paragraph
of Paragraph 3 above, and at any time thereafter, the subdivided parcels
comprising the Land are no longer owned by the same person or entity, then
Tenant's Proportionate Share shall mean the percentage determined by dividing
the rentable area leased by Tenant in Building A and Building C by the total
rentable area of Building A and Building C. In determining the rentable area
of a Building, Landlord and Tenant agree that such rentable area shall include
all of the areas of the applicable Building, measured from the exterior faces
of exterior walls, including roof overhangs, the inset area at each entryway,
and the inset area for glazing, but excluding any truck dock areas, courtyards
and outside decks.
For example, provided Landlord retains ownership of all of the Land and Tenant
-11-
12
does not exercise any of its Termination Options under this Lease or the
Adjacent Lease, then from the Commencement Date of this Lease through the first
three and one quarter (3.25) lease years following the Substantial Completion
Date, Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be one hundred percent (100%). If
Landlord retains ownership of all of the Land and Tenant timely exercises a
Termination Option and vacates and surrenders possession of an applicable
Building and Tenant Improvements located therein in accordance with the
provisions of Paragraph 34 below, then Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be
appropriately decreased as of the effective date of each termination of this
Lease with respect to a Building pursuant to Subparagraph 4(c). (If the Land
is subdivided in accordance with the last paragraph of Paragraph 3 above and
the parcels comprising the Land are owned by two different persons or entities,
then Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be the percentage determined in
accordance with the first sentence of the preceding paragraph.)
(iii) "Common Area Expenses" shall mean all
expenses, costs and amounts of every kind and nature (subject to the exclusions
below) which Landlord shall pay or incur because of or in connection with the
ownership, maintenance, repair, replacement, restoration and operation of the
Common Area, including, without limitation, any amounts paid or incurred for:
(A) the cost of supplying all utilities, the cost of operating, maintaining,
repairing, replacing, renovating and managing any and all utility systems,
mechanical systems, sanitary and storm drainage systems, and the cost of
supplies, tools, and equipment and maintenance and service contracts in
connection therewith; (B) the cost of licenses, certificates, permits and
inspections and the cost of contesting the validity or applicability of any
governmental enactments which may affect Common Area Expenses, and the costs
incurred in connection with the implementation and operation of any
transportation system management program or similar program required by law;
(C) the cost of insurance for the Common Area carried by Landlord, in such
amounts as Landlord may reasonably determine (excluding the cost of any
insurance for which Landlord is reimbursed directly under Paragraph 10); (D)
fees, charges and other costs, including without limitation, consulting fees,
legal fees and accounting fees, of all persons engaged by Landlord or otherwise
reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with the operation, maintenance
and repair of the Common Area (except that annual management fees shall be two
percent of the annual base or "fixed" rent payable by tenants in the Buildings,
including any buildings as to which this Lease has been terminated); (E) the
cost of parking area repair, restoration, and maintenance, including, but not
limited to, patching, repainting, restriping, and cleaning; (F) wages, salaries
and other compensation and benefits of all persons engaged in the operation,
maintenance or security of the Common Area, and employer's Social Security
taxes, unemployment taxes or insurance, and any other taxes which may be levied
on such wages, salaries, compensation and benefits (prorated for any employee
who does not devote substantially all of his or her time to the operation,
maintenance, repair, management or security or the Common Area); (G) payments
under any easement, license, operating agreement, declaration, restrictive
covenant, or instrument pertaining to the sharing of costs between the
Buildings (or the subdivided parcel containing the Buildings) and other
buildings or property; (H) amortization (including interest on the unamortized
cost at a rate equal to the floating commercial loan rate announced from time
to time by Bank of America NT+SA, as its prime rate or "reference rate", plus
2% per annum [the "Interest Rate"]) of the costs of acquiring, or the rental
expense of personal property used in, the maintenance, operation and repair of
the Common Area; (I) the cost of capital
-12-
13
improvements (as determined under generally accepted accounting principles) or
other costs incurred in connection with the Common Area that are required under
any governmental law or regulation but which were not so required in connection
with the Common Area at the time that permits for the construction of the
Buildings were obtained provided, however, that each such permitted capital
expenditure shall be amortized (including interest on the unamortized cost)
over its useful life as Landlord shall reasonably determine; and (J) all
Property Taxes (as defined in Subparagraph 9(c) below) payable by Landlord with
respect to the Common Area (excluding any taxes and assessments paid by Tenant
under Paragraph 9 below).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Common Area Expenses shall not
include (1) depreciation, interest and amortization on mortgages, or ground
lease payments, if any; (2) legal fees incurred in negotiating and enforcing
tenant leases; (3) real estate brokers' leasing commissions; (4) initial
improvements or alterations to tenant spaces; (5) any costs expressly excluded
from Common Area Expenses elsewhere in this Lease; (6) costs of any items to
the extent Landlord receives, or would be entitled to receive if Landlord had
obtained all insurance required to be maintained hereunder, reimbursement from
insurance proceeds (except that any deductible amount under any insurance
policy shall be included within Common Area Expenses) or from a third party;
(7) costs of capital improvements, except those set forth in this Subparagraph
8(e) (iii); (8) costs of repair and maintenance of the roof structure,
foundations and exterior walls of the Buildings; (9) cost or any repair,
maintenance or restoration arising from the negligence or willful misconduct or
breach of this Lease by Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors; (10)
costs attributable to repairing items that are covered by warranties in favor
of Landlord; (11) costs of correcting any code violations that occurred with
respect to the construction of any of the Buildings prior to the Substantial
Completion Date; and (12) costs paid directly to Landlord pursuant to this
Lease.
9. Taxes and Assessments.
(a) Tenant's Property. Tenant shall pay before
delinquency any and all taxes and assessments, license fees and public charges
levied, assessed or imposed upon or against Tenant's fixtures, equipment,
furnishings, furniture, appliances and personal property installed or located
on or within the Premises. Tenant shall use its best efforts to cause said
fixtures, equipment, furnishings, furniture, appliances and personal property
to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Landlord. If
any of Tenant's said personal property shall be assessed with Landlord's real
property, Tenant shall pay Landlord the taxes attributable to Tenant within ten
(10) days after receipt of a written statement from Landlord setting forth the
taxes applicable to Tenant's property.
(b) Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay, as Additional
Rent, one hundred percent (100%) of all Property Taxes levied or assessed with
respect to the Premises or the Land, Buildings or Tenant Improvements which
become due or accrue during the term of this Lease. Tenant shall pay such
Property Taxes to Landlord not later than (i) ten (10) days prior to the
delinquency date of such Property Taxes, or (ii) twenty (20) days after receipt
of billing, whichever is later. If Tenant fails to do so, Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord, on demand, for all interest, late fees and penalties that
the taxing authority
-13-
14
charges Landlord. In the event Landlord's Lender requires an impound for
Property Taxes, then on the first day of each month during the Lease Term,
Tenant shall pay Landlord one twelfth (1/12) of the annual Property Taxes.
Tenant's liability hereunder shall be prorated to reflect the commencement and
termination dates of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein: (i) upon a termination of this Lease with respect to a Building under
Subparagraph 4(c) above, Tenant shall pay Tenant's Proportionate Share of
Property Taxes for the Land, Buildings, Tenant Improvements and Premises
(including any Land, Building, Tenant Improvements and Premises as to which
this Lease has been terminated) together with, and in the same manner as Tenant
pays, Tenant's Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses; and (ii) if the
Land is subdivided in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 3 above and
at any time thereafter, the subdivided parcels comprising the Land are no
longer owned by the same person or entity, then Tenant shall pay the Property
Taxes for the subdivided parcel containing the Buildings (rather than the
Property Taxes for all of the Land), and the Property Taxes for the Buildings,
Tenant Improvements and Premises.
(c) Property Taxes Defined. For the purpose of this
Lease, "Property Taxes" means and includes all taxes, assessments (including,
but not limited to, assessments for public improvements or benefits), taxes
based on vehicles utilizing parking areas, taxes based or measured by the rent
paid, payable or received under this Lease, taxes on the value, use, or
occupancy, and all other governmental impositions and charges of every kind
and nature whatsoever, whether or not customary or within the contemplation of
the parties hereto and regardless of whether the same shall be extraordinary or
ordinary, general or special, unforeseen or foreseen, or similar or dissimilar
to any of the foregoing which, at any time during the Lease Term, shall be
applicable to the Premises, the Buildings, Tenant Improvements and/or the Land,
as applicable, or assessed, levied or imposed upon the Premises, the Buildings,
Tenant Improvements and/or the Land, as applicable, or become due and payable
and a lien or charge upon the Premises, the Buildings and/or the Land, as
applicable, or any part thereof, under or by virtue of any present or future
laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations or other requirements of any
governmental authority whatsoever. The term "Property Taxes" shall not include
any federal, state or local net income, franchise, estate, gift or inheritance
tax imposed on Landlord or any interest or penalties arising from Landlord's
failure to pay any Property Taxes (unless such interest and/or penalties arise
as a result of Tenant's failure to pay such Property Taxes when due hereunder).
(d) Other Taxes. To the extent not otherwise covered
under Subparagraph 9(c) above, Tenant shall, as Additional Rent, pay or
reimburse Landlord for any tax based upon, allocable to, or measured by the
area of the Premises or the Buildings (or the Common Area, in which case
Tenant's payment and reimbursement obligations shall be limited to its
Proportionate Share of the same); or by the rent paid, payable or received
under this Lease; any tax upon or with respect to the possession, leasing,
operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy of the
Premises or any portion thereof; any privilege tax, excise tax, business and
occupation tax, gross receipts tax, sales and/or use tax, water tax, sewer tax,
employee tax, occupational license tax imposed upon Landlord or Tenant with
respect to the Premises.
(e) Tenant's Right to Contest. Prior to the date Tenant
exercises any
-14-
15
Termination Option under this Lease (or under the Adjacent Lease if prior to
the date the Land is parcelized or subdivided into two separate legal parcels),
Tenant shall have the right, by appropriate proceedings, to protest or contest
any assessment, reassessment or allocation of Property Taxes or other taxes
payable by Tenant in whole or in part or any change therein. In the contest or
proceedings, Tenant may act in its own name and/or the name of Landlord and
Landlord will, at Tenant's request and expense, cooperate with Tenant in any
way Tenant may reasonably require in connection with such contest. Tenant must
pay all Property Taxes as and when required by Paragraph 9(b), even those which
are the subject of such protest or contest, but Tenant may xxx to recover
overpayments of Property Taxes as part of any such contest. With respect to
any contest of Property Taxes, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord and the
Land, Buildings and Premises harmless from any liens or damage arising out of
such protest or contest and shall pay any judgment that may be rendered for
which Tenant would otherwise be liable under this Lease without such contest or
protest. Such indemnification and hold harmless obligation shall survive the
termination of this Lease. Any contest conducted by Tenant under this
paragraph shall be at Tenant's expense and if interest or late charges become
payable as a result of such contest or protest, Tenant shall pay the same.
10. Insurance.
(a) Indemnity. Tenant agrees to indemnify, protect and
defend Landlord against and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims,
causes of action, judgments, obligations or liabilities, and all reasonable
expenses incurred in investigating or resisting the same (including reasonable
attorneys' fees), on account of, or arising out of, the operation, maintenance,
use or occupancy of the Premises, Buildings, Land or the Common Area by Tenant
and/or its Agents (except to the extent attributable to the negligence or
willful misconduct of, or breach of this Lease by, Landlord or its Agents).
This Lease is made on the express understanding that Landlord shall not be
liable for, or suffer loss by reason of, injury to person or property, from
whatever cause (except to the extent attributable to the negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord or its Agents and, even then, in no event shall Landlord
be liable under this Lease for claims of loss profits or loss of business or
income), which in any way may be connected with the operation, maintenance, use
or occupancy of the Premises, Buildings, Land or the Common Area by Tenant
and/or its Agents specifically including, without limitation, any liability for
injury to the person or property of Tenant or its Agents.
Landlord agrees to indemnify, protect and defend Tenant against and
hold Tenant harmless from any and all claims, causes of action, judgments,
obligations or liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees) on account of bodily injuries, death or property damage caused
by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its Agents; provided,
however, in no event shall Landlord be liable under any circumstances for
claims of loss profits or loss or business or income. The obligations of
Landlord under this paragraph shall not be applicable to the extent any claims,
causes of action, judgments, obligations or liabilities (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arise out or, or are related to, the
negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its Agents.
The obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Paragraph 10(a) shall survive
-15-
16
termination of this Lease.
(b) Liability Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant's
expense, obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of
commercial general liability insurance insuring Landlord (as an additional
insured) and Tenant against claims and liabilities arising out of the
operation, maintenance, use, or occupancy of the Premises. Such insurance
shall provide combined single limit coverage of not less than Three Million
Dollars ($3,000,000.00) per occurrence. Such liability insurance shall contain
a contractual liability endorsement. Landlord shall have the right to require
Tenant to increase the amount of coverage of such commercial general liability
insurance to the extent reasonably necessary to bring such insurance coverage
into conformity with the level of coverage commonly carried by similar
businesses in California, which right Landlord may exercise no more frequently
than once every three (3) years during the lease term. The insurance shall be
provided by companies with a Best's Insurance Guide rating of at least A- VIII
or higher. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, prior to possession, and at least
thirty (30) days prior to the expiration thereof, a certificate of insurance
evidencing the existence of the policy required hereunder and such certificate
shall certify that the policy (1) names Landlord as an additional insured, (2)
shall not be canceled without thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Landlord, (3) insures contractual liability, (4) the coverage is primary and
any coverage by Landlord is in excess thereto and (5) contains a
cross-liability endorsement.
The preceding to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord agrees that
the original Tenant hereunder, Cisco Systems, Inc., may "self insure" against
the claims, liabilities, damages, injuries and losses described in Subparagraph
10(b) above so long as Cisco Systems, Inc. has a net worth of not less than
Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000), and the parties hereto agree that
such self-insurance shall be primary. The right to so self insure shall apply
only to the original Tenant hereunder and shall not apply to any assignee of
such original Tenant. In the event the premiums for Landlord's liability
insurance are increased by reason of Tenant's self-insurance (whether because
of the parties' agreement that the original Tenant hereunder may self-insure or
because of claims made or defense undertaken or proceeds paid under Landlord's
liability policy which would not have otherwise occurred if Tenant had
maintained a policy of liability insurance in accordance with the provisions of
Subparagraph 10(b) above), Tenant agrees to pay promptly following demand and
receipt of a statement of such increase, but in no event later than fifteen
days after such demand and as Additional Rent, the amount of any such increase.
The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive termination
of this Lease with respect to any increase in Landlord's insurance premiums
attributable to Tenant's self-insurance.
Landlord shall maintain a policy or policies of comprehensive general
liability insurance insuring Landlord (and such others as are designated by
Landlord), against liability for personal injury, bodily injury, death and
damage to property occurring or resulting from an occurrence in, on or about
the Premises and the Common Areas, with such limits of coverage as Landlord may
from time to time determine are reasonably necessary for its protection.
Tenant shall, as Additional Rent, reimburse Landlord for the cost of any such
insurance policy within thirty (30) days after receipt of billing.
-16-
17
(c) Property Insurance. Landlord shall, at Tenant's
expense, obtain and keep in force during the Lease Term a policy of insurance
covering loss or damage to the Buildings and Tenant Improvements, in the amount
of the full replacement value thereof with Agreed Amount Endorsement, providing
protection against those perils included within the classification of "all
risk" insurance, plus a policy of rental income insurance in the amount of one
hundred percent (100%) of twelve (12) months' rent (including, without
limitation, sums payable as Additional Rent), together with such additional
coverages (such as earthquake and/or flood insurance) which Landlord may elect,
in its sole discretion, to maintain from time to time or which may be required
from time to time by Landlord's Lender. Tenant shall have no interest in nor
any right to the proceeds of any insurance procured by Landlord on the
Buildings and Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional
Rent, Tenant's Proportionate Share of the cost of such insurance procured and
maintained by Landlord on an annual basis within thirty (30) days after receipt
of demand therefore from Landlord. Tenant's liability for the cost of such
insurance shall be pro rated as of the commencement and termination of the
Lease Term. Tenant acknowledges that such insurance procured by Landlord shall
contain a deductible which reduces Tenant's cost for such insurance and, in the
event of loss or damage, Tenant shall be required to pay to Landlord Tenant's
Proportionate Share of the amount of such deductible. Landlord agrees that
during the Lease Term, Landlord's deductible under its earthquake insurance
policy shall not be less than ten percent of the then replacement value of the
Improvements.
(d) Tenant's Personal Property Insurance. Tenant
acknowledges that the insurance to be maintained Landlord on the Premises
pursuant to Paragraph 10(c) above will not insure any of Tenant's property.
Accordingly, Tenant, at Tenant's own expense, shall maintain in full force and
effect on all of its fixtures, equipment and personal property in the Premises,
a policy of "All Risk" coverage insurance to the extent of at least ninety
percent (90%) of their insurable value.
(e) Mutual Waiver of Subrogation. Tenant and Landlord
hereby mutually waive their respective rights of recovery against each other of
any loss of or damage to the property of either party, to the extent such loss
or damage is insured by any insurance policy required to be maintained by this
Lease or otherwise in force at the time of such loss or damage. Each party
shall obtain any special endorsements, if required by the insurer, whereby the
insurer waives its right of subrogation against the other party hereto. The
provisions of this Subparagraph 10(e) shall not apply in those instances in
which the waiver of subrogation would cause either party's insurance coverage
to be voided or otherwise made uncollectible.
11. Utilities. Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, light, heat,
power, electricity, telephone, trash pick-up, sewer charges, and all other
services supplied to or consumed on the Premises, and all taxes and surcharges
thereon.
12. Repairs and Maintenance.
(a) Landlord's Repairs. Subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 16, Landlord, at its expense, shall keep and maintain the
foundations, roof structure (excluding
-17-
18
roof membrane) and exterior walls of the Buildings in good order and repair.
Landlord shall not, however, be required to maintain, repair or replace the
interior surface of exterior walls, nor shall Landlord be required to maintain,
repair or replace windows, doors, skylights or plate glass. Landlord shall
have no obligation to make repairs under this Subparagraph 12(a) until a
reasonable time after receipt of written notice from Tenant of the need for
such repairs.
(b) Tenant's Repairs. Except as expressly provided in
Subparagraph 12(a) above and Paragraph 16 below, Tenant shall, at its sole
cost, keep and maintain the entire Premises and every part thereof, including
without limitation, the windows, window frames, plate glass, glazing,
skylights, truck doors, doors and all door hardware, the interior walls and
partitions, interior surfaces of exterior walls, carpets, flooring, roof
membrane and the electrical, plumbing, lighting, heating, ventilating and air
conditioning systems and equipment in good order, condition and repair. The
term "repair" shall include replacements, restorations and/or renewals when
necessary as well as painting. Tenant's obligation shall extend to all
alterations, additions and improvements to the Premises, and all fixtures and
appurtenances therein and thereto. Tenant shall, at all times during the Lease
Term, have in effect a service contract for the maintenance of the heating,
ventilating and air conditioning ("HVAC") equipment serving the Premises with
an HVAC repair and maintenance contractor reasonably approved by Landlord.
The HVAC service contract shall provide for periodic inspection and servicing
at least once every three (3) months during the term hereof, and Tenant shall
provide Landlord with a copy of such contract and all periodic service reports.
Landlord shall assign to Tenant for the term of this Lease the benefit of all
warranties available to Landlord which would reduce the cost of performing the
obligations of Tenant to make repairs under this Subparagraph 12(b). Landlord
shall cooperate with Tenant in the enforcement of such warranties.
Should Tenant fail to commence to make repairs required of Tenant
hereunder within fifteen (15) days after notice from Landlord or should Tenant
fail thereafter to diligently complete the repairs, Landlord, in addition to
all other remedies available hereunder or by law and without waiving any
alternative remedies, may make the same, and in that event, Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord as additional rent for the cost of such maintenance or
repairs within thirty (30) days of written demand by Landlord.
Landlord shall have no maintenance or repair obligations whatsoever
with respect to the Premises except as expressly provided in Subparagraph 12(a)
and Paragraph 16. Tenant hereby expressly waives the provisions of Subsection
1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the Civil Code of California
and all rights to make repairs at the expense of Landlord as provided in
Section 1942 of said Civil Code.
13. Alterations.
(a) Limitations. Tenant shall not make, or suffer to be
made, any alterations, improvements or additions in, on, about or to the
Premises or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and without a valid building
permit issued by the appropriate governmental authority; provided, however,
Landlord's consent shall not be required for interior non-
-18-
19
structural alterations which (i) with respect to each Building covered by this
Lease, cost less than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) per work of improvement
and less than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) in the aggregate for all
alterations made with respect to each Building covered by this Lease during the
entire Lease Term, (ii) will not adversely affect the building systems or
structural integrity of the Buildings, and (iii) will not affect the exterior
of the Buildings. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord five (5) days
prior to employing any laborer or contractor to perform services related to, or
receiving materials for use upon the Premises, and prior to the commencement of
any work of improvement on the Premises. All alterations or improvements made
to the Premises by Tenant shall be made in accordance with applicable Laws and
in a first-class workmanlike manner.
At the time Tenant requests Landlord's consent to any alterations or
improvements, Tenant shall request a decision from Landlord in writing as to
whether Landlord will require Tenant, at Tenant's expense, to remove any such
alterations or improvements and restore the Premises to their prior condition
at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If Tenant so requests
such a decision from Landlord and Landlord does not require, at the time
Landlord's consent is given to such alterations or improvements, that Tenant
remove such alterations or improvements at expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease, then such alterations or improvements to which Landlord consented
shall become the property of Landlord upon the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease. If Tenant fails, at the time it requests Landlord's
consent to any alteration or improvement, to request a decision from Landlord
as to whether such alteration or improvement will be required to be removed by
Tenant, at Tenant's cost, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease, or if Tenant makes any alterations or improvements to the Premises
for which Landlord's consent is not required under this Lease, then no less
than ninety (90) nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease term, Tenant by written notice
to Landlord shall request Landlord to inform Tenant whether or not Landlord
desires to have any alterations or improvements made to the Premises by Tenant
as described in this sentence removed by Tenant, at Tenant's cost, prior to the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Following receipt of such
notice, Landlord may elect to have all or a portion of Tenant's alterations or
improvements removed from the Premises at the expiration or earlier termination
of the Lease term, and Tenant shall, at its sole cost, remove at the expiration
or earlier termination of this Lease such alterations or improvements
designated by Landlord for removal and repair all damage to the Premises and
Common Areas arising from such removal. In the event Tenant fails to so
request Landlord's decision or fails to remove any alterations or improvements
designated by Landlord for removal, Landlord may remove any such alterations or
improvements made to the Premises by Tenant and repair all damage to the
Premises and Common Areas arising from such removal, any recover from Tenant
all costs and expenses incurred thereby. Tenant's obligation to pay such costs
and expenses to Landlord shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Lease. Unless Landlord requires that Tenant remove any such alteration,
improvement or addition, any alteration, addition or improvement to the
Premises, except movable furniture and trade fixtures not affixed to the
Premises, shall become the property of Landlord upon termination of the Lease
and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the termination
of this Lease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all heating,
lighting, electrical (including all wiring, conduit, outlets, drops, xxxx
ducts, main and subpanels), air conditioning, partitioning, drapery, and
-19-
20
carpet installations made by Tenant regardless of how affixed to the Premises,
together with all other additions, alterations and improvements that have
become an integral part of the Buildings, shall be and become the property of
the Landlord upon termination of the Lease, and shall not be deemed trade
fixtures, and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the
termination of this Lease.
(b) Alterations Required by Law. If, during the term
hereof, any alteration, addition or change of any sort to all or any portion of
the Premises or Buildings is required by Law, Tenant shall promptly make the
same at its sole cost and expense.
14. Acceptance of the Premises. By entry and taking possession of
the Premises pursuant to this Lease, Tenant accepts the Premises, the Buildings
and the Common Area as being in good and sanitary order, condition and repair
(subject to punch list items and reservation of claims of latent defects and
claims under any warranties given under the Improvement Agreement attached
hereto as EXHIBIT "C") and accepts the Premises and Common Area in their
condition existing as of the date of such entry and Tenant further accepts the
Tenant Improvements to be constructed by Landlord, if any, as being completed
in accordance with the plans and specifications for such Tenant Improvements,
except for punch list items and reservation of claims of latent defects and
claims under any warranties given under the Improvement Agreement referred to
above. If any of the Improvements to be constructed by Landlord do not comply
with applicable Building Codes, regulations or ordinances in effect as of the
Commencement Date of this Lease, then to the extent the applicable governmental
agency having jurisdiction over such non-compliance requires the same to be
cured or rectified, Landlord agrees to promptly cure or rectify such non-
compliance item(s) at no cost to Tenant. (unless Tenant's or any of its
agents', employees', contractors', architects', or other representatives' acts,
failure to act, negligence or willful misconduct cause such non-compliance, in
which event Landlord shall have no obligation hereunder to cure or rectify such
non-compliance item(s), but if Landlord does so cure or rectify such item(s),
then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within fifteen days following receipt of
written invoices or statements, for Tenant's equitable share (as reasonably
determined by Landlord) of the cost of curing or rectifying such non-compliance
item(s) to the extent attributable to Tenant or any of its agents, employees,
contractors, architects or other representatives. Tenant acknowledges that
neither the Landlord nor Landlord's agents has made any representation or
warranty as to the suitability of the Premises, Buildings or the Common Area to
the conduct of Tenant's business Any agreements, warranties or representations
not expressly contained herein (or in the Exhibits attached hereto) shall in no
way bind either Landlord or Tenant, and Landlord and Tenant expressly waive all
claims for damages by reason of any statement, representation, warranty,
promise or agreement, if any, not contained in this Lease. This Lease
constitutes the entire understanding between the parties hereto and no addition
to, or modification of, any term or provision of this Lease shall be effective
until set forth in a writing signed by both Landlord and Tenant.
15. Default.
(a) Events of Default. A breach of this Lease by Tenant
shall exist if any of the following events (hereinafter referred to as "Event
of Default") shall occur:
-20-
21
(i) Default in the payment when due of any
installment of rent or other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder,
where such default shall not have been cured within five (5) days after written
notice of such default is given to Tenant;
(ii) Tenant's failure to perform any other term,
covenant or condition contained in this Lease (or in any of the Exhibits
attached hereto) where such failure shall have continued for twenty (20) days
after written notice of such failure is given to Tenant; provided, however,
Tenant shall not be deemed in default if Tenant commences to cure such failure
within said twenty (20) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such
cure to completion;
(iii) Tenant's abandonment of any Building;
(iv) Tenant's assignment of its assets for the
benefit of its creditors;

termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that
Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(C) The worth at the time of award of
the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time
of award exceeds the amount of
-22-
23
such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and

period of restoration in proportion to the degree to which Tenant's use of the
Premises is impaired by such damage. Tenant shall not be entitled to any
compensation from Landlord for loss of Tenant's property caused by such damage
or restoration (unless such loss was caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord or its Agents and is not covered by insurance maintained

circumstances, however, shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for claims of lost
profits or loss of business or income. business caused by such damage or

relationship of this Lease to any underlying lease, mortgage or deed of trust
which now or hereafter affects the Premises or Landlord's interest or estate
therein and any renewal, modification, consolidation, replacement, or extension
thereof (a "Security Instrument").
(a) Subsequent Security Instruments. At Landlord's
election, this Lease shall become subject and subordinate to any Security
Instrument created after the date of execution of this Lease provided that the
Lender holding such Security Agreement agrees in writing that in the event of
foreclosure of the Security Instrument in question, such Lender shall recognize
the tenancy of Tenant on the terms and conditions contained in this Lease so
long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease. Notwithstanding such
subordination, Tenant's right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be
disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default and performs all of its
obligations under this Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated

below) of Landlord so requires, this Lease shall become prior and superior to
any Security Instrument.

document or instrument required by Landlord or any Lender to make this Lease
either prior or subordinate to a Security Instrument, which may include such

time that the Lender takes possession of the Premises in connection with the

document or instrument within ten (10) days after written demand therefor shall
constitute a default by Tenant. Tenant's obligation to execute and deliver any
subordination agreement to any future Lender shall be conditioned upon such
Lender agreeing that in the event of foreclosure of the mortgage or termination
of the ground lease in question, such Lender shall recognize the tenancy of
Tenant on the terms and conditions contained in this
-27-
28
Lease so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease.
(c) Tenant's Attornment. Tenant shall attorn (1) to any
purchaser of the Premises at any foreclosure sale or private sale conducted
pursuant to any Security Instrument encumbering the Premises; (2) to any
grantee or transferee designated in any deed given in lieu of foreclosure; or
(3) to the lessor under any underlying ground lease should such ground lease be
terminated; provided such purchaser, transferee or lessor assumes Landlord's
obligations under the Lease..
22. Holding Over. This Lease shall terminate without further
notice at the expiration of the Lease Term. Any holding over by Tenant after
expiration (or any holding over by Tenant in a Building after the termination
of this Lease with respect to such Building under Subparagraph 4(c) hereof)
shall not constitute a renewal or extension or give Tenant any rights in or to
the Premises (or any such Building) except as expressly provided in this Lease.
Any holding over after the expiration with the consent of Landlord shall,
unless otherwise expressly agreed, be construed to be a tenancy from month to
month, at one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly rent for the last
month of the Lease Term, and shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions
herein specified insofar as applicable.
23. Notices. Any notice required or desired to be given under
this Lease shall be in writing with copies directed as indicated below and
shall be personally served or given by mail. Any notice given by mail shall be
deemed to have been given when seventy-two (72) hours have elapsed from the
time such notice was deposited in the United States mails, certified and
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the party to be served
with a copy as indicated herein at the last address given by that party to the
other party under the provisions of this paragraph. At the date of execution

24. Attorneys' Fees. In the event either party shall bring any
action or legal proceeding for damages for any alleged breach of any provision
of this Lease, to recover rent or possession of the Premises, to terminate this
Lease, or to enforce, protect or establish any term or covenant of this Lease
or right or remedy of either party, the
-28-
29
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover as a part of such action or
proceeding, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, including attorneys'
fees and costs for appeal, as may be fixed by the court or jury. The term
"prevailing party" shall mean the party who received substantially the relief
requested, whether by settlement, dismissal, summary judgment, judgment, or
otherwise.
25. Subleasing and Assignment.
(a) Landlord's Consent Required. Tenant's interest in
this Lease is not assignable, by operation of law or otherwise, nor shall
Tenant have the right to sublet the Premises, transfer any interest of Tenant
therein or permit any use of the Premises by another party, without the prior
written consent of Landlord to each such assignment, subletting, transfer or
use, which consent Landlord agrees not to withhold unreasonably subject to the
provisions of Subparagraph 25(c) below. A consent to one assignment,
subletting, occupancy or use by another party shall not be deemed to be a
consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupancy or use by another
party. Any assignment or subletting without such consent shall be void and
shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate this Lease.
Landlord's waiver or consent to any assignment or subletting hereunder
shall not relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Lease unless the
consent shall so provide.
(b) Transferee Information Required. If Tenant desires
to assign its interest in this Lease or sublet the Premises, or transfer any
interest of Tenant therein, or permit the use of the Premises by another party
(hereinafter collectively referred to as a "Transfer"), Tenant shall give
Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of the proposed
Transfer and of the terms of such proposed Transfer, including, but not limited
to, the name and legal composition of the proposed transferee, a financial
statement of the proposed transferee, the nature of the proposed transferee's
business to be carried on in the Premises (including a list of the type and
quantities of all Hazardous Materials to be used by the transferee on the
Premises), the payment to be made or other consideration to be given to Tenant
on account of the Transfer, and such other pertinent information as may be
requested by Landlord, all in sufficient detail to enable Landlord to evaluate
the proposed Transfer and the prospective transferee.
(c) Landlord's Rights. In the event Tenant seeks to
Transfer its interest in this Lease or the Premises, Landlord shall have the
following options, which may be exercised at its sole choice without limiting
Landlord in the exercise of any other right or remedy which Landlord may have
by reason of such proposed Transfer:
(i) [Intentionally Omitted]
(ii) Landlord may consent to the proposed Transfer
on the condition that Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, as additional rent,
fifty percent (50%) of any and all rents or other consideration (including key
money) received by Tenant from the transferee by reason of such Transfer in
excess of the rent (prorated in the event of any sublease by Tenant) payable by
Tenant to Landlord under this Lease (less any brokerage commissions,
-29-
30
costs of tenant improvements installed by Tenant for the transferee, attorneys'
fees and advertising expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with the
Transfer). Tenant expressly agrees that the foregoing is a reasonable
condition for obtaining Landlord's consent to any Transfer; or
(iii) Landlord may reasonably withhold its consent
to the proposed Transfer.
(d) Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Tenant may, without Landlord's prior written consent, assign its interest in
the Lease or sublet the Premises or a portion thereof to (i) a subsidiary,
affiliate, division or corporation controlled by or under common control with
Tenant; (ii) a successor corporation related to Tenant by merger,
consolidation, non-bankruptcy reorganization or government action; or (iii) a
purchaser of substantially all of the Tenant's assets; provided that, in each
instance described above, (a) the transferee assumes the obligations of the
Tenant under this Lease in a written instrument delivered to Landlord; (b) the
transferor tenant remains liable as a primary obligor for the obligations of
Tenant under this Lease; and (c) the financial strength of the transferee
tenant is sufficient to meet its obligations under this Lease as reasonably
determined by Landlord. Any permitted transferee of Tenant's interest in this
Lease or the Premises, or portion thereof, pursuant to the terms of this
Subparagraph 25(d) is referred to herein as an "Affiliate" of Tenant.
26. Successors. The covenants and agreements contained in this
Lease shall be binding on the parties hereto and on their respective heirs,
successors and assigns (to the extent the Lease is assignable).
27. Mortgagee Protection. In the event of any default on the part
of Landlord, Tenant will give notice by registered or certified mail to any
beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgagee of a mortgage encumbering the
Premises, whose address shall have been previously furnished to Tenant. So
long as such beneficiary or mortgagee is making reasonable efforts to cure the
default, including, but not limited to, obtaining possession of the Premises by
power of sale or judicial foreclosure, if such should prove necessary to effect
a cure, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease.
28. Estoppel Certificate. Tenant agrees within five (5) business
days following reasonable request by Landlord to (A) execute and deliver to
Landlord any documents, including estoppel certificates presented to Tenant by
Landlord, (1) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect and the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if
any, and (2) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any
uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying the defaults,
if any, and (3) evidencing the status of the Lease as may be required either by
a Lender making a loan to Landlord to be secured by a deed of trust or mortgage
covering the Premises or a purchaser of the Premises from Landlord and (B) to
deliver to Landlord the financial statement of Tenant with an opinion of a
certified public accountant, including a balance sheet and profit and loss
statement, for the last completed fiscal year all prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. Tenant's
failure to deliver an estoppel certificate within ten (10) days following such
request shall be
-30-
31
an Event of Default under this Lease.
Landlord agrees within five (5) business days following reasonable
request by Tenant to execute and deliver to Tenant any documents, including
estoppel certificates presented to Landlord by Tenant, (1) certifying that this
Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect and the date to which the rent
and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and (2) acknowledging that there
are not, to Landlord's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Tenant
hereunder, or specifying the defaults, if any, and (3) evidencing the status of
the Lease as may be required either by a Lender making a loan to Tenant to be
secured by this Lease (if permitted hereunder) or an assignee or sublessee of
Tenant. Landlord's failure to deliver an estoppel certificate within ten (10)
days following such request shall be an event of default under this Lease (and
Landlord shall have ten(10) days following written notice of such event of
default within which to cure the same).
29. Surrender of Lease Not Merger. The voluntary or other
surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not
work a merger and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any
existing subleases or subtenants, or operate as an assignment to Landlord of
any or all such subleases or subtenants.
30. Waiver. The waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any breach of any
term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of such term, covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any
other term, covenant or condition herein contained. Any waiver shall be in
writing and signed by both Landlord and Tenant.

of any covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease
to be performed after the date of such transfer or conveyance; provided that
any funds in the hands of Landlord or the then grantor at the time of such
transfer, in which Tenant has an interest, shall be turned over to the grantee.

contaminant under any federal, state or local statute, regulation, rule or
ordinance or amendments thereto including, without limitation, the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (42 U.S.C.
Section 9601 et seq.) and/or the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42
U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq.); (iii)
-34-
35
which is toxic, explosive, corrosive, flammable, infectious, radioactive,

For purposes of this Lease, the term "Hazardous Materials" shall not include
hazardous or toxic materials used in connection with general office uses (such
as toner, white out, office cleaning supplies) so long as the same are used in
compliance with applicable environmental laws, rules and regulations.
(b) Permitted Use. Subject to the compliance by Tenant
with the provisions of Subparagraphs c, d, e, f, g, h, i and j below, Tenant
shall be permitted to use and store on the Premises those Hazardous Materials
listed in EXHIBIT "D" attached hereto, in the quantities set forth in EXHIBIT
"D".
(c) Hazardous Materials Management Plan.
(i) Prior to Tenant using, handling, transporting
or storing any Hazardous Material at or about the Premises (including, without
limitation, those listed in EXHIBIT "D"), Tenant shall submit to Landlord a
Hazardous Materials Management Plan ("HMMP") for Landlord's review and
approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The HMMP shall
describe: (aa) the quantities of each material to be used, (bb) the purpose for
which each material is to be used, (cc) the method of storage of each material,
(dd) the method of transporting each material to and from the Premises and
within the Premises, (ee) the methods Tenant will employ to monitor the use of
the material and to detect any leaks or potential hazards, and (ff) any other
information any department of any governmental entity (city, state or federal)
requires prior to the issuance of any required permit for the Premises or
during Tenant's occupancy of the Premises. Landlord may, but shall have no
obligation to review and approve the foregoing information and HMMP, and such
review and approval or failure to review and approve shall not act as an
estoppel or otherwise waive Landlord's rights under this Lease or relieve
Tenant of its obligations under this Lease. If Landlord determines reasonably
and in good faith by inspection of the Premises or review of the HMMP that the
methods in use or described by Tenant are not adequate in Landlord's good faith
judgment to prevent or eliminate the existence of environmental hazards, then
Tenant shall not use, handle, transport, or store such Hazardous Materials at
or about the Premises unless and until such methods are approved by Landlord
reasonably and in good faith and added to an approved HMMP. Once approved by
Landlord, Tenant shall strictly comply with the HMMP and shall not change its
use, operations or procedures with respect to Hazardous Materials without
submitting an amended HMMP for Landlord's review and approval as provided
above.
-35-
36
(ii) Tenant shall pay to Landlord when Tenant
submits an HMMP (or amended HMMP) the amount reasonably determined by Landlord
to cover all Landlord's reasonable costs and expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with Landlord's review of the HMMP which costs and expenses shall
include, among other things, all reasonable out-of-pocket fees of attorneys,
architects, or other consultants incurred by Landlord in connection with
Landlord's review of the HMMP. Landlord shall have no obligation to consider a
request for consent to a proposed HMMP unless and until Tenant has paid all
such costs and expenses to Landlord, and Tenant shall pay all such costs and
expenses to Landlord irrespective of whether Landlord consents to such proposed
HMMP. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the excess, if any, of such costs
and expenses actually incurred by Landlord over the amount of such costs and
expenses actually paid by Tenant, and Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant
the excess, if any, of such costs and expenses actually paid by Tenant over the
amount of such costs and expenses actually incurred by Landlord.
(d) Use Restriction. Except as specifically allowed in
Subparagraph (c) above, Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material
to be used, stored, generated, discharged, transported to or from, or disposed
of in or about the Premises, or any other land or improvements in the vicinity
of the Premises. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant, at
its sole cost, shall comply with all Laws relating to the storage, use,
generation, transport, discharge and disposal by Tenant or its Agents of any
Hazardous Material. If the presence of any Hazardous Material on the Premises
caused or permitted by Tenant or its Agents results in contamination of the
Premises or any soil, air, ground or surface waters under, through, over, on,
in or about the Premises, Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly take all
actions necessary to return the Premises and/or the surrounding real property
to the condition existing prior to the appearance of such Hazardous Material.
(e) Tenant Indemnity. Tenant shall defend, protect, hold
harmless and indemnify Landlord and its Agents and Lenders with respect to all
actions, claims, losses (including, diminution in value of the Premises),
fines, penalties, fees (including, but not limited to, attorneys' and
consultants' fees) costs, damages, liabilities, remediation costs,
investigation costs, response costs and other expenses arising out of,
resulting from, or caused by any Hazardous Material used, generated,
discharged, transported to or from, stored, or disposed of by Tenant or its
Agents in, on, under, over, through or about the Premises and/or the
surrounding real property. Tenant shall not suffer any lien to be recorded
against the Premises as a consequence of the disposal of any Hazardous Material
on the Premises by Tenant or its Agents, including any so called state, federal
or local "super fund" lien related to the "clean up" of any Hazardous Material
in, over, on, under, through, or about the Premises.
(f) Compliance. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord
of any inquiry, test, investigation, enforcement proceeding by or against
Tenant or the Premises concerning any Hazardous Material. Any remediation plan
prepared by or on behalf of Tenant must be submitted to Landlord prior to
conducting any work pursuant to such plan and prior to submittal to any
applicable government authority and shall be subject to Landlord's consent.
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord, as the owner of the Land and the Premises,
-36-
37
at its election, shall have the sole right to negotiate, defend, approve and
appeal any action taken or order issued with regard to any Hazardous Material
by any applicable governmental authority.
(g) Assignment and Subletting. It shall not be
unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or
subletting if (i) the proposed assignee's or subtenant's anticipated use of the
Premises involves the storage, generation, discharge, transport, use or
disposal of any Hazardous Material; (ii) if the proposed assignee or subtenant
has been required by any prior landlord, lender or governmental authority to
"clean up" or remediate any Hazardous Material; (iii) if the proposed assignee
or subtenant is subject to investigation or enforcement order or proceeding by
any governmental authority in connection with the use, generation, discharge,
transport, disposal or storage of any Hazardous Material.
(h) Surrender. Upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost, shall remove all Hazardous
Materials from the Premises that Tenant or its Agents introduced to the
Premises. If Tenant fails to so surrender the Premises, Tenant shall
indemnify, protect, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against all
damages resulting from Tenant's failure to surrender the Premises as required
by this Paragraph, including, without limitation, any actions, claims, losses,
liabilities, fees (including, but not limited to, attorneys' and consultants'
fees), fines, costs, penalties, or damages in connection with the condition of
the Premises including, without limitation, damages occasioned by the inability
to relet the Premises or a reduction in the fair market and/or rental value of
the Premises by reason of the existence of any Hazardous Material in, on, over,
under, through or around the Premises.
(i) Right to Appoint Consultant. Landlord shall have the
right to appoint a consultant, at Tenant's expense, to conduct an investigation
to determine whether any Hazardous Material is being used, generated,
discharged, transported to or from, stored or disposed of in, on, over,
through, or about the Premises, in an appropriate and lawful manner. If Tenant
has violated any Law or covenant in this Lease regarding the use, storage or
disposal of Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises, Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for the cost of such investigation. Tenant, at its expense,
shall comply with all reasonable recommendations of the consultant required to
conform Tenant's use, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials to the
requirements of applicable Law or to fulfill the obligations of Tenant
hereunder.
(j) Holding Over. If any action of any kind is required
or requested to be taken by any governmental authority to clean- up, remove,
remediate or monitor any Hazardous Material (the presence of which is the
result of the acts or omissions of Tenant or its Agents) and such action is not
completed prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant
shall be deemed to have impermissibly held over with respect to such portion of
the Premises affected by the Hazardous Materials or the clean up, remediation
or monitoring activities until such time as such required action is completed,
and Landlord shall be entitled to all damages directly or indirectly incurred
in connection with such holding over, including without limitation, damages
occasioned by the inability to re-let the Premises or a reduction of the fair
market and/or rental value of the Premises.

Condition unless Tenant exacerbates any Existing Environmental Condition.
(l) Provisions Survive Termination. The provisions of
this Paragraph 39 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
(m) Controlling Provisions. The provisions of this
Paragraph 39 are intended to govern the rights and liabilities of the Landlord
and Tenant hereunder respecting Hazardous Materials to the exclusion of any
other provisions in this Lease that might otherwise be deemed applicable. The
provisions of this Paragraph 39 shall be controlling with respect to any
provisions in this Lease that are inconsistent with this Paragraph 39.
40. Cooperation. Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord
in granting such consents, easements and licenses to Landlord and third parties
as may be necessary or convenient for Landlord to demolish, develop, repair,
lease, subdivide or operate the Common Area or any Building as to which Tenant
terminates this Lease under Subparagraph 4(c) above, provided that Tenant's use
of, and access to, the Premises are not materially impaired.

IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT
This Improvement Agreement is made part of that Lease Agreement dated
November 26, 1996 (the "Lease"), by and between SBC&D CO., INC., a California
corporation ("Landlord") and CISCO SYSTEMS, INC., a California corporation
("Tenant").
Except as otherwise provided herein, all defined or capitalized terms
used herein shall have the same meaning as ascribed to such terms in the Lease.
A default by either party under this Improvement Agreement shall also
constitute a default by that party under the Lease.
1. Landlord's Obligation to Construct the Buildings and Improve
the Land. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Land is presently
unimproved. Landlord shall improve the Land with two (2) building shells (the
"Building Shells") as described in ATTACHMENT 1 attached hereto, and with
general utility tenant improvements within such Building Shells (the "Tenant
Improvements") as generally shown on the schematic plan attached hereto as
ATTACHMENT 2 (the "Schematic Plan"). The Building Shells and the Tenant
Improvements are collectively referred to herein as the "Improvements". (Under
the terms of the Adjacent Lease (as defined in the Lease to which this
Improvement Agreement is attached), Landlord shall also improve the Land with
an additional two (2) building shells and with general utility tenant
improvements with such additional two building shells.) The Improvements shall
be constructed substantially in accordance with the site plan attached to the
Lease as EXHIBIT "B" (the "Site Plan"), the Definition of Building Shells
attached hereto as ATTACHMENT 1 (the "Building Shell Definition"), and the
schematic plans for the
-42-
43
Tenant Improvements attached to the Lease as ATTACHMENT 2 (the "Schematic
Plan"), as applicable, subject to the approval of and any changes required by
any appropriate governmental authority or Landlord's Lender. The Improvements
shall be constructed in accordance with the following:
(a) The Improvements will be constructed according to the
Approved Final Plans developed according to subparagraph (b) below, and the two
(2) Buildings shall be approximately 150,000 square feet as designated by
Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, and as permitted by the
appropriate governmental authorities and Landlord's Lender. Promptly after the
completion of the Buildings, Landlord shall cause its architect to certify that
the Buildings have been completed substantially in accordance with the Final
Building Plans, as altered by any changes approved by Landlord and Tenant under
paragraph 4 below.
(b) Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that each has
reviewed and approved preliminary plans for the Building Shells as are
described on ATTACHMENT 3 attached hereto (the "Preliminary Building Plans").
Such Preliminary Building Plans have been submitted to the appropriate
governmental agencies for review and approval. Landlord has commenced
preparation of final plans, specifications and working drawings for the
Buildings (the "Final Building Plans") which shall substantially conform to or
represent logical developments from the Preliminary Building Plans. Landlord
shall submit such Final Building Plans to Tenant for approval, and within five
days following delivery of the same, Tenant shall review them and either (i)
approve them, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, or (ii)
specify in writing its objections to the Final Building Plans and all changes
that must be made to the Final Building Plans to satisfy such objections;
provided, however that Tenant may only object to the Final Building Plans on
the basis that
-43-
44
they do not substantially conform to the Preliminary Building Plans. If Tenant
does not deliver any written objections to the Final Building Plans within the
specified period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Final
Building Plans. If Tenant does deliver such written objections within such
time period, then the parties shall confer and use their best efforts to
resolve such objections by Tenant within ten (10) days after Landlord has
received notice thereof. If the parties are unable to resolve such objections
by Tenant within said time period, then such objections shall be resolved by
arbitration conducted according to the procedures described in paragraph 11
hereof. Upon Tenant's approval of the Final Building Plans, Landlord shall
submit the Final Building Plans to the appropriate governmental agencies for
approval. Immediately after all such governmental approvals have been
obtained, and after such Final Building Plans have been approved by Landlord's
Lender providing financing for the construction of the Improvements, then such
approved Final Building Plans shall be initialed and dated by Landlord and
Tenant. Such approved and initialed Final Building Plans, together with the
Final TI Plans described in paragraph (c) below and any and all change orders
approved by Landlord, Tenant and, if applicable, Landlord's Lender, are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Approved Final Plans".
(c) Tenant shall, in accordance with the schedule
attached hereto as ATTACHMENT 4, complete and deliver to Landlord preliminary
plans for the Tenant Improvements (the "Preliminary TI Plans") which
substantially conform to or represent logical developments from the Schematic
Plan, and Landlord and Tenant shall submit, review and approve such Preliminary
TI Plans in accordance with the applicable schedule set forth in ATTACHMENT 4.
As soon as the Preliminary TI Plans are completed and approved by Landlord and
Tenant, Tenant shall develop final plans, specifications and working drawings
(the "Final TI Plans") which substantially conform to or represent logical
-44-
45
developments from the Preliminary TI Plans and shall submit them to Tenant for
approval, and the applicable procedures and time periods for plan submission,
review and approval set forth in ATTACHMENT 4 shall govern the Final TI Plans.
If the Final TI Plans are not approved by Landlord and Tenant by April 30,
1997, then any delays by Tenant beyond any of the deadlines for Tenant set
forth in ATTACHMENT 4 shall constitute "Tenant Plan Delays"; except that
Tenant Plan Delays shall not include reasonable delays by Tenant beyond a
deadline for Tenant set forth in ATTACHMENT 4 to the extent the delay by
Tenant shall have been caused by Landlord's unreasonable disapproval of the
Preliminary TI Plans, Final TI Plans or revisions thereto, as applicable. Upon
Landlord's approval of the Final TI Plans, Landlord shall submit the Final TI
Plans to all appropriate governmental agencies for approval. Immediately after
all such governmental approvals have been obtained, and after such Final TI
Plans have been approved by Landlord's Lender providing financing for the
construction of the Tenant Improvements, then such approved Final TI Plans
shall be initialed and dated by Landlord and Tenant. Such approved and
initialed Final TI Plans, together with the Final Building Plans described in
paragraph (b) above and any and all change orders approved by Landlord, Tenant
and, if applicable, Landlord's Lender, are collectively referred to as the
"Approved Final Plans".
2. Tenant Improvements. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees
that the Tenant Improvements shall consist only of general utility interior
improvements which may be of use to a subsequent user of the Premises (e.g.,
non-load bearing permanent partitions; windows; wall and floor coverings;
standard HVAC equipment and wiring, standard electrical distribution facilities
and wiring; standard lighting and utility fixtures). Landlord shall have no
obligation to construct or pay for any special purpose improvements needed by
Tenant for the conduct of its business or which might not be of use to a
subsequent user
-45-
46
of the Premises (e.g., demountable partitions, special building service
equipment, trade fixtures of Tenant, special utility requirements, special
security requirements, special structural supports, or other special or unusual
interior improvements required by Tenant because of the use it intends to make
of the Premises). In determining whether any interior improvement is a
"general utility interior improvement" or a "special purpose improvement", the
parties shall take into account the kind, quality, and amount of such
improvements, their location in the Premises, and their relationship to the
other improvements, in determining its general utility to subsequent users of
the Premises.
3. Construction Contracts. Landlord shall retain South Bay
Construction Company (the "General Contractor") as general contractor to
construct the Improvements. The contract entered into by Landlord with the
General Contractor for the Tenant Improvements shall be in a form reasonably
approved by Landlord and Tenant and on a "cost plus 2.5%" basis so that the
General Contractor is paid a fee for profit and overhead equal to two and one
half percent (2.5%) of the Project Costs (as hereinafter defined). "Project
Costs" shall mean:

4. Changes to Approved Final Plans. Once the Approved Final
Plans have been finally approved by Landlord and Tenant and the general
construction contract has been signed with the General Contractor, neither
Landlord nor Tenant shall have the right to order extra work or change orders
with respect to the construction of the Improvements without the prior written
consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. All extra work or change orders requested by either Landlord or
Tenant shall be made in writing, shall specify the amount of delay or the time
saved resulting therefrom, shall estimate any added or reduced cost resulting
therefrom, and shall become effective and a part of the Approved Final Plans
once approved in writing by both parties.
5. Commencement and Completion of the Improvements. As soon as
(i) the
-48-
49
Approved Final Building Plans or Approved Final TI Plans, as applicable, have
been developed as provided above, (ii) all necessary governmental approvals
have been obtained, and (iii) Landlord has entered into a general construction
contract with General Contractor for the construction of the Building Shells or
Tenant Improvements, as applicable, then Landlord shall thereafter commence
construction of the Building Shells or Tenant Improvements, as applicable, and
shall diligently prosecute such construction to completion.
6. Payment of Cost of Improvements. Landlord shall pay for all
costs of constructing the Building Shells (as defined in ATTACHMENT 1 attached
hereto). Tenant agrees that the Tenant Improvements must be of sufficient scope
that the costs of the Tenant Improvements (the "TI Costs") are not less than a
sum equal to Thirty Dollars ($30.00) multiplied by the rentable area of the
Buildings. Landlord shall make available for the payment of all TI Costs an
amount equal to Ten Dollars ($10.00) per square foot of rentable area of the
Buildings (the "Base TI Allowance"). Tenant shall pay all of the TI Costs
incurred or to be incurred by Landlord in excess of the Base TI Allowance (with
such excess referred to herein as "Tenant's TI Contribution"). Prior to the
commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall
estimate the total cost of the Tenant Improvements (the "Total TI Cost
Estimate") and Tenant's Contribution and shall deliver such estimates to
Tenant. Tenant shall pay Tenant's Contribution to Landlord in installments as
and when needed by Landlord to pay TI Costs until Tenant's TI Contribution has
been paid, with each installment to be paid within ten (10) days after Landlord
notifies Tenant that a progress payment toward TI Costs is to be made and
delivers copies of the applicable invoices to Tenant (which invoices Tenant
shall reasonably approve). The amount of the installments to be paid by Tenant
to Landlord shall equal the actual TI Costs to be paid by the applicable
progress payment (after deducting any
-49-
50
applicable retention) less the Landlord Contribution Amount (hereinafter
defined) with respect to the applicable progress payment until Landlord shall
have paid a total amount equal to the Base TI Allowance toward the TI Costs;
thereafter, Tenant's installments shall include all of the actual TI Costs to
be paid by a progress payment after deducting any applicable retention, and
Tenant shall also pay to Landlord the entire amount of any final payment and
retention within then (10) days after written notice from Landlord that such
retention is due and payable to the contractor(s). As used herein, the term
"Landlord Contribution Amount" shall mean, with respect to each progress
payment, the amount calculated by multiplying: (a) the actual TI Costs to be
paid by the applicable progress payment (after deducting any applicable
retention), by (b) the quotient obtained by dividing the Base TI Allowance by
the Total TI Cost Estimate. Prior to the commencement of construction of the
Building Shells, Tenant shall, if requested to do so by Landlord, provide
assurances to Landlord's Lender that the funds necessary to pay Tenant's TI
Contribution will be immediately available to Landlord as and when needed to
pay TI Costs, which assurances shall be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and
Landlord's Lender. As soon as practicable following completion of the Tenant
Improvements, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the actual cost of construction
of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall have the right to audit the books,
records, and supporting documents of the Landlord to the extent necessary to
determine the accuracy of such notice of actual costs during normal business
hours after giving Landlord at least three (3) business days prior written
notice. Tenant shall bear the cost of such audit. Any such audit must be
conducted, if at all, within one hundred and eighty (180) days after Landlord
delivers its notice of actual costs to Tenant. In the event Tenant's payment
of Landlord's estimate of Tenant's TI Contribution shall have resulted in
either an overpayment or underpayment of the amount
-50-
51
actually due, then an adjustment shall be made such that any overpayment shall
be credited against the next Monthly Installment of rent or any underpayment
shall be paid as Additional Rent together with the next Monthly Installment of
rent.
7. Delays in Completion. The parties hereto acknowledge that the
date on which Tenant's obligation to pay the Monthly Installment of rent would
otherwise commence may be delayed because of (i) Tenant Plan Delays, (ii) the
entry by Tenant into the Premises which interferes with or delays the
completion of Landlord's work, (iii) change orders requested by Tenant and
approved by Landlord, and/or (iv) any other act or omission of Tenant. It is
the intent of the parties hereto that the Tenant's obligation to pay the
Monthly Installment of rent and Additional Rent not be delayed by any of such
causes or by any other act of Tenant, and in the event it is so delayed, then
Tenant's obligation to pay the Monthly Installment of rent and Additional Rent
shall commence as of the date it would otherwise have commenced absent said
delay(s) caused by Tenant.
8. Delivery of Possession and Punchlist. When the Improvements
are substantially completed, Landlord and Tenant shall together walk through
and inspect the Improvements so completed, using their best efforts to discover
all uncompleted or defective construction. After such inspection has been
completed, each party shall sign a list of "punch list" items which Tenant has
determined must be corrected by Landlord, and which Landlord has determined
Landlord is obligated to correct. Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to
complete those "punch list" items within thirty (30) days after executing such
list. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Tenant's obligations to pay
the Monthly Installment of rent and Additional Rent shall commence as provided
in the Lease, regardless of whether Tenant completes such inspection or
executes such list.
9. Construction Warranty for the Improvements. Effective upon
completion of
-51-
52
the Improvements, Landlord does hereby warrant that the construction of the
Improvements was performed in accordance with the Approved Final Plans therefor
in a good and workmanlike manner, and that all materials and equipment
furnished conform to said plans and are new and otherwise of good quality;
provided, however, that said representation and warranty shall not extend to,
and Landlord shall not be liable for, any defect in construction or in the
operation of equipment which is discovered either (i) eleven (11) months after
the Commencement Date, or (ii) twelve (12) months after the recordation of a
notice of completion for such improvements (which periods of time are referred
to herein collectively as the "Warranty Period"). Tenant shall promptly notify
Landlord in writing of any defect in construction or the operation of equipment
discovered within the Warranty Period, and promptly thereafter Landlord shall
commence the cure of such defect and complete such cure with diligence at
Landlord's cost and expense. With respect to defects discovered after the
expiration of the Warranty Period, the parties hereto acknowledge that it is
their intention that Tenant have the benefit of any construction or equipment
warranties existing in favor of Landlord that would assist Tenant in correcting
such construction defects and in discharging its obligations regarding the
repair and maintenance of the Premises. Upon request by Tenant following the
expiration of the Warranty Period, Landlord shall inform Tenant of all written
construction and equipment warranties existing in favor of Landlord which
affect the Improvements. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in enforcing
such warranties and in bringing any suit that may be necessary to enforce
liability with regard to any defective construction or operation of equipment
so long as Tenant pays all costs incurred by Landlord so acting. Landlord
makes no other express or implied warranty with respect to the construction or
operation of the Improvements.
10. Ownership of the Improvements. All of the Improvements which are
-52-
53
constructed by Landlord shall become the property of Landlord upon installation
and shall not be removed or altered by Tenant except as expressly permitted by
the Lease.
11. Arbitration. Any question, dispute or controversy
specifically required to be determined by arbitration pursuant to this Work
Letter shall be determined by arbitration as provided in this paragraph, and
shall in no way delay or affect the commencement of the Lease Term and/or
Tenant's obligation to pay rent pending the outcome of such arbitration.
Neither Landlord or Tenant shall have the right and hereby waive such right, to
request or require arbitration of any other questions, dispute or controversy
arising under the Lease. Arbitrable questions, disputes or controversies shall
be arbitrated according to the following procedure. Either Landlord or Tenant
may initiate arbitration by giving written notice to the other stating an
intention to arbitrate, the issue to be arbitrated, and the relief sought.
Such arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the provisions of the laws of
the State of California then in force and the procedural rules of the American
Arbitration Association or its successor insofar as said rules of procedure do
not conflict with said laws or this paragraph. Once notice to arbitrate has
been given, Landlord and Tenant shall within ten (10) days select one joint
arbitrator, or if they cannot agree on one joint arbitrator then each shall
select an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days of delivery of said notice and
notify the other party of its selection. The two arbitrators selected shall
designate the third arbitrator forthwith. No arbitrator may be related to or
affiliated with either Landlord or Tenant. The three arbitrators shall convene
in the county in which the Leased Premises are located as soon as practicable
and offer Landlord and Tenant the opportunity to present their cases. If any
party fails to appear, participate or produce evidence in an arbitration
proceeding, the arbitrators may make their award and decision based solely on
the evidence actually presented. The arbitrators shall, by majority vote,
-53-
54
make such award and decisions as is appropriate and in accord with the terms of
the Lease and such award and decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant
and enforceable in a court of law. Said award and decision shall include an
award to the prevailing party of reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and
costs of arbitration. In the event their party fails to appoint an arbitrator
or the two arbitrators fail to select a third arbitrator within the time
required by this paragraph, upon application of either party the arbitrator
shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association, or if there be no
American Arbitration Association or it shall refuse to perform this function,
then by the then Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the State of
California for the County in which the Premises are located.
