Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord those certain premises consisting of approximately 34,464 rentable square feet located in the building (the “1020 Building”) located at 1020 Marsh Road, Menlo Park, California (the “1020 Space”) and those certain premises consisting of approximately 17,432 rentable square feet located on the second (2nd) floor of the building (the “1060 Building”) located at 1060 Marsh Road, Menlo Park, California (the “1060 Space”) (collectively, the "Premises") shown on Exhibit "A-1", attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

Section 1.2.  The demised term of this Lease shall be for a period of ninety three (93) months (plus any partial period prior to the commencement of the first full calendar month), unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, and shall commence on the Commencement Date described in Section 1.3 and shall end on the last day of the ninety third (93rd) full calendar month after the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall have the right to elect to terminate this Lease with respect to the 1060 Space (“Tenant’s Termination Option”) upon written notice delivered to Landlord no later than by October 31, 2017.  In the event Tenant fails to deliver notice exercising Tenant’s Termination Option by October 31, 2017, then Tenant’s right to said option shall lapse, Tenant’s Termination Option shall be null and void and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the entire Premises. In the event Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s Termination Option, then all provisions in this Lease specific to the 1060 Space shall be deemed void effective as of delivery of Tenant’s termination notice, all references to the Premises shall be deemed to only refer to the 1020 Space and all references to the building or buildings shall be deemed to only refer to the 1020 building, no Basic Rent or Additional Rent with respect to the 1060 Space shall be due, and the demised term of this Lease shall be reduced to a demised term of eighty six (86) months (plus any partial period prior to the commencement of the first full calendar month), unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, and accordingly shall end on the last day of the eighty sixth (86th) full calendar month after the Commencement Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises with the existing roof, electrical, lighting, HVAC and plumbing systems serving the Premises in good working order and condition.

The date on which Landlord delivers the 1020 Space to Tenant shall be referred to herein as the “1020 Delivery Date” and the date on which Landlord delivers the 1060 Space to Tenant shall be referred to herein as the “1060 Delivery Date”.

- 1 -



 

Upon each respective Delivery Date, Tenant shall have the right to access such applicable portion of the Premises for the purpose of constructing the Tenant Improvements, installing its furniture, fixtures and equipment and preparing the Premises for occupancy, all in accordance with the provisions of this Lease; provided, however, that in no event shall Tenant or the General Contractor (as defined below) commence construction of the Tenant Improvements until Tenant has received the applicable building permits therefor and provided Landlord with a copy thereof.  From and after the date Tenant accesses any portion of the Premises, all of the provisions of this Lease shall be applicable to said portion notwithstanding that the demised term has not yet commenced. Specifically, but without limitation, Tenant’s obligations with respect to insurance and indemnities shall be operable as of the date Tenant accesses any portion of the Premises or buildings, and Tenant shall provide certificates of insurance for the insurance required of Tenant pursuant to Articles 13 and 14 of this Lease prior to accessing any portion thereof.  Tenant shall not pay rent during such early access period; however, notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall pay for all utilities used by Tenant in the Premises from and after the date Tenant first accesses any portion of the Premises and throughout the entire demised term. Except to the extent caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against any and all claims arising out of Tenant’s access therein and/or construction work or other activity in the Premises or buildings.

Section 1.3.  The demised term of this Lease shall commence (the “Commencement Date”) on the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days after the 1020 Delivery Date described above. 

Additional Rent for the 1020 Space shall commence on the Commencement Date. Basic Rent for the 1020 Space shall commence (the “1020 Basic Rent Commencement Date”) on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days after the 1020 Delivery Date described above.

Basic Rent for the 1060 Space shall commence (the “1060 Basic Rent Commencement Date”) on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days after the 1060 Delivery Date described above.  Additional Rent for the 1060 Space shall commence (the “1060 Additional Rent Commencement Date”) when the first of the following occurs:

(a)One (1) day after a Certificate of Occupancy is granted by the proper governmental agency, or if the governmental agency having jurisdiction over the area in which the Premises are situated does not issue certificates of occupancy, then one (1) day after certification by Landlord's architect or contractor that the Tenant Improvements for the 1060 Space has been completed; or

(b)Upon the occupancy of the 1060 Space by any of Tenant's operating personnel (other than in connection with Tenant’s personnel performing or overseeing any of the Tenant Improvements); or

Section 1.4.  If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of said Premises to Tenant on the dates hereinbefore specified, this Lease shall not be void or voidable; no obligation of Tenant shall be affected thereby; nor shall Landlord or Landlord's agents be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom; but in that event, the Commencement Date and termination date of this Lease, and all other dates affected thereby, shall be revised to conform to the date of Landlord's actual delivery of possession, as specified in Section 1.3 above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, in the event the 1020 Delivery Date does not occur on or before the expiration of the one hundred eightieth (180th) day following the Anticipated 1020 Delivery Date (subject to force majeure delays), and provided Tenant is ready to commence construction of Tenant’s Work on such date, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days of such date, in which event this Lease shall terminate fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of such written notice and all sums paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, if any, shall be refunded to Tenant.  If Tenant fails to give Landlord written notice within such 30-day period, Tenant’s right to terminate pursuant to the provisions hereof shall lapse and be of no further force or effect and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. 

The parties acknowledge that Landlord is currently performing renovations to portions of the common areas of the 1020 Building and the 1060 Building, including renovations to the building exteriors, rooflines, landscaping, hardscape, and new outdoor amenity areas, lobby, restrooms, first floor shower, elevators and elevator cabs (the “Landlord Renovation Work”). The Landlord Renovation Work shall be generally consistent with the work described on the plans listed on Exhibit “C-1” attached hereto, which plans have been provided to Tenant. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Landlord Renovation Work may not be completed before the 1020 Delivery Date or the 1060 Delivery Date and that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, the 1020 Delivery Date, 1060 Delivery Date, Commencement Date, and Tenant's obligation to pay all rent as described in this Lease, shall not be postponed or affected because of Landlord continuing the Landlord Renovation Work in the 1020 Building or the 1060 Building or elsewhere in the Complex.  

Section 1.5.  As used herein, the "Complex" shall mean and include all of the land shown on Exhibit "B" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, and all of the buildings, improvements, fixtures and equipment now or hereafter situated on said land.

Section 1.6.  Said leasing is upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth and Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to perform and observe each and all of said terms, covenants and conditions.  This Lease is made upon the conditions of such performance and observance.

Section 1.7.  In accordance with Civil Code Section 1938, Landlord hereby discloses that no inspection has been performed by a Certified Access Specialist with respect to the interior of the Premises to determine if the Premises meets applicable construction-related accessibility standards pursuant to California Civil Code Section 55.53.  Further, with respect to the Common Areas of the Complex in which the Premises is located, Landlord hereby discloses that the Common Areas of the Complex in which the Premises is located have not undergone an inspection by a Certified Access Specialist to determine if the Premises meets applicable construction-related accessibility standards pursuant to California Civil Code Section 55.53. In accordance with Civil Code Section 1938(e), Landlord hereby states the following:

- 3 -



 

A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law.  Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant.  The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs to correct violations of the construction-related accessibility standards within the premises.

In connection therewith: (i) Tenant hereby assumes all risk of, and agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for, any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) sustained as a result of the Premises not having been inspected by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp); (ii) Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant's indemnity obligations set forth in the Lease shall include any and all claims relating to or arising as a result of the Premises not having been inspected by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) or any suit brought against Landlord for the Common Areas of the Complex if a visit to Tenant’s Premises is wholly or partially the triggering basis for such a suit against Landlord; and (iii) Landlord may require, as a condition to its consent to any alterations, additions or improvements, that any architect retained by Tenant in connection with such alterations, additions or improvements be certified as a Certified Access Specialist (CASp), and that following the completion of such alterations, additions or improvements, including the placement of trade fixtures and furnishings within the Premises, such architect shall certify the Premises as meeting all applicable construction-related accessibility standards pursuant to California Civil Code Section 55.53.

Tenant may, at its sole risk and expense and upon written notice to Landlord and mutual agreement as to time and manner, elect to have the Premises inspected by a CASp for purposes of determining whether or not the Premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under California law (“Tenant CASp Inspection”).  Any such Tenant CASp Inspection shall be performed in a non-invasive manner to the Premises and/or the Common Areas of the Complex and in a manner which would not disturb, endanger or interfere with any other tenants or occupants of the Complex or their customers or invitees.  It is the express intent and understanding of the parties that Tenant’s right to perform such Tenant CASp Inspection shall be solely for Tenant’s own benefit, and Landlord and any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Landlord, and their respective employees, agents, representatives, officers, members, managers, directors and shareholders (herein, the "Landlord Parties") shall have no duty or responsibility whatsoever of any kind for any claims, expenses, actions, repairs, alterations, modifications, damages, liabilities, or losses arising from or in connection with such Tenant CASp Inspection (“CASp Inspection Claims”) or the reports or recommendations resulting therefrom (each or collectively “CASp Inspection Results”).  Tenant also agrees to correct any violations of construction related accessibility standards identified in such CASp Inspection Results at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord Parties from and against any and all CASp Inspection Claims or CASp Inspection Results arising from or in connection with such Tenant CASp Inspection.

- 4 -



 

Further, Tenant hereby agrees that it shall not provide or distribute the Tenant CASp Inspection Results to anyone other than Tenant’s contractors, attorneys, and other agents (collectively the “Tenant Parties”), and Tenant shall keep the CASp Inspection Results strictly confidential and shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, disclose, reproduce or distribute the CASp Inspection Results to anyone other than Tenant Parties on a need-to-know basis.  Prior to disclosing all or any portion of the CASp Inspection Results to any Tenant Party, Tenant shall first inform each such party regarding the confidential nature of the CASp Inspection Results.  Tenant shall be fully liable and responsible for any breach of confidentiality by any Tenant Party.

The parties acknowledge that at any time during the demised term hereof after the Commencement Date the Common Areas of the Complex, or any portion thereof, are required to be modified to comply with the ADA, then Landlord shall make the improvements necessary to make any such areas comply with the provisions of the ADA and the cost thereof shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord as a portion of the management, maintenance and repair expenses of the Common Areas of the Complex pursuant to the provisions of Article 7.  Tenant agrees and acknowledges that at any time during the demised term hereof (including if required as a condition of issuance of any building permit for the Tenant Improvements or subsequent improvements or alterations in the Premises) that the Premises are required to be modified to comply with the ADA, then Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, make the improvements necessary to make the Premises comply with the provisions of the ADA.

Section 1.8.  Provided this Lease is in full force and effect and Tenant is not, at the time of giving the notice described below or at any time thereafter until commencement of the option term, in default under any of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease beyond any applicable notice or cure periods, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Tenant shall be granted the option to extend the demised term of this Lease, either with regards to the 1020 Space only or for all of the Premises (provided Tenant never exercised Tenant’s Termination Option), for one (1) consecutive period of five (5) years (the “option term”) as provided below:

(a)Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of Tenant's exercise of the option to extend the Lease (which notice shall expressly state whether Tenant’s exercise of the option applies to just the 1020 Space or the entire Premises) not less than nine (9), nor more than twelve (12), full calendar months prior to the expiration of the demised term;

(b)The option term will commence on the day after the expiration of the initial term and shall terminate five (5) years later;

(c)There shall be no further option to extend, there shall be no Landlord inducement, and Landlord shall not be required to perform any improvements in the Premises or the buildings prior to or during the option term;

(d)The option to extend can be exercised only by Versartis, Inc. for its sole use of the Premises and may not be transferred or assigned to any sublessee, assignee or other party, nor may this option be exercised by Versartis, Inc. for the Premises by any sublessee, assignee or party other than Versartis, Inc.;

- 5 -



 

(e)The then current payments for Additional Rent shall continue to be adjusted during the option term pursuant to the provisions of this Lease;

(f)The Basic Rent as described hereinbelow for each year of the option term shall (subject to the provisions hereof) equal the Fair Market Rental Value (hereinafter defined).  "Fair Market Rental Value" shall mean the market rent, including annual increases (if any), being charged on the first day of the option term for similar space in buildings of comparable quality as the building (or buildings as may be applicable) in which the Premises is situate which are located in similar areas of the Cities of Menlo Park and Palo Alto.  In determining the Fair Market Rental Value comparable transactions shall be considered, including without limitation, length of lease term, landlord and tenant inducements and rent increases, if and to the extent then a part of market conditions.  The rent on comparable leases shall be adjusted to reflect the value or cost of such inducements since neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any obligation to pay or perform any such inducements (except for rent increases if applicable).  For purposes of the determination of Fair Market Rental Value it shall be assumed the Landlord and Tenant are each ready, willing and able to enter into such a lease but are under no compulsion to do so.

Within twenty (20) calendar days after Tenant's written notice of exercise, Tenant shall advise Landlord of its estimate of the Fair Market Rental Value for the Premises.  Landlord, within twenty (20) calendar days thereafter, shall advise Tenant in writing of its estimate of the Fair Market Rental Value.  During the next twenty (20) calendar days the parties shall meet and confer for the purpose of agreeing upon Fair Market Rental Value.  If the parties are then unable to agree, then the Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined by an appraisal as herein set forth and the Fair Market Rental Value as so determined shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.  Within ninety (90) calendar days after the Tenant's notice of exercise, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint an appraiser and notify the other party in writing of its choice.  Thereupon, the two appraisers so elected shall elect a third appraiser within thirty (30) calendar days of their appointment, unless during such period the two appraisers shall have agreed upon a Fair Market Rental Value, or have reconciled their appraisals to within ten percent (10%) of each other in which event the average of the two appraisals will be the Fair Market Rental Value, in which case their determination shall be final and binding.  If the two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon a third appraiser, then the Landlord and Tenant shall immediately request the Presiding Judge of the San Mateo County Superior Court to make such selection.  The three appraisers shall meet and confer for a period not to exceed sixty (60) calendar days and the determination of Fair Market Rental Value by a majority of the three shall be final and binding.  In the event that a majority cannot agree, then the third (neutral) appraiser shall direct each of the party appraisers to review their appraisals for a period of seven (7) calendar days and return to a meeting of the three appraisers within five (5) calendar days thereafter with each respective party appraiser having indicated their final appraisal of Fair Market Rental Value in a sealed envelope and signed by that appraiser.  The third appraiser will do the same.  The envelopes will be opened in the presence of the three appraisers and the Fair Market Rental Value of the party appraiser which is closest to the Fair Market Rental Value of the third appraiser will be the final Fair Market Rental Value and binding on the parties.  Each party shall bear the cost of the appraiser selected by it and the cost of the third appraiser shall be shared equally (including all costs associated with an appointment by the Superior Court of San Mateo, if applicable, regardless of which party filed the application).  To be appointed as an appraiser the person so appointed shall hold the professional designation of MAI awarded by the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers 

- 6 -



 

or such designation as may then be the preeminent professional designation, hold any licenses which may then be required by law, and have at least five (5) years current experience appraising commercial/light industrial properties in San Mateo County.  The third (neutral) appraiser shall not have had any personal, social or business relationship with either party or any of its personnel during the preceding five (5) years.

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in no event shall the Basic Rent for each year of the option term be reduced below the Basic Rent payable by Tenant for the last year (or partial year) of the original demised term.

When the Basic Rent for the option term is determined pursuant to the above provisions, the parties shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease stating the Basic Rent to be paid during the option term.  In the event Tenant has retained the services of a real estate broker to represent Tenant during the negotiations of the option term, it is expressly understood that Landlord shall have no obligation for the payment of all or any part of a real estate commission or other brokerage fee to Tenant’s real estate broker in connection therewith.  Tenant shall be solely responsible for the payments of fees for services rendered to Tenant by such broker in connection with the option term.

Section 2.3.

- 9 -



 

amount of the Letter of Credit shall, on or before November 1, 2017, without any request or notice requirements by Landlord, be increased to the amount of Three Million Five Hundred Eighty Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty Four Dollars ($3,580,824.00).  Tenant shall first provide Landlord with a draft letter of credit for Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  The Letter of Credit shall permit partial drawings and shall state that it shall be payable against sight drafts presented by Landlord, accompanied by Landlord's statement that either (i) a default exists under the Lease, or (ii) the Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire within thirty (30) days of the date of Landlord’s statement and Landlord has not received a replacement letter of credit, or (iii) Tenant has become insolvent, and that said drawing is in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease; no other document or certification from Landlord shall be required to negotiate the Letter of Credit.  The Letter of Credit must state that all charges (including without limitation transfer fees) will be charged to the account of Tenant and not to Landlord.  Landlord may designate any bank as Landlord's advising bank for collection purposes and any sight drafts for the collection of the Letter of Credit may be presented by the advising bank on Landlord's behalf.

The Letter of Credit shall be for an initial term of at least one (1) year and shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord in both form and substance.  The Letter of Credit shall be automatically renewed, without amendment, for continuing consecutive one (1) year (or longer) periods unless, at least thirty (30) days prior to any such date of expiration, the issuer gives written notice to Landlord that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed, in which case Landlord shall be able to draw the full amount of the Letter of Credit.  The Letter of Credit shall not expire until at least the date which is sixty (60) days after the scheduled expiration date of this Lease.

The beneficiary designation in the Letter of Credit shall include Landlord and Landlord's "successors and/or assigns as their interests may appear" and the Letter of Credit shall be assignable and shall include the Issuing Bank's acknowledgment and agreement that the Letter of Credit is assignable to Landlord's Lender and that, in such event, the Issuing Bank agrees to treat Landlord's Lender as a beneficiary thereunder, entitling Landlord's Lender to the same rights afforded to Landlord, as beneficiary thereunder.

Upon a default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to draw against the Letter of Credit in the amount of the delinquent Basic Rent or Additional Rent or any other expense, loss or damage that Landlord may suffer because of Tenant’s default.  Upon Tenant’s insolvency, Landlord shall be entitled to draw against the entire amount of the Letter of Credit and any excess amounts shall be held by Landlord as collateral for Lease obligations.  Landlord shall not be required to exhaust its remedies against Tenant before having recourse to the Letter of Credit or to any other form of collateral held by Landlord or to any other remedy available to Landlord at law or in equity, and Tenant shall forthwith upon demand restore said Letter of Credit to the original sum.

Provided that (i) at each such date Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice or cure periods, (ii) Tenant has completed a successful initial public offering and remains a publicly traded company entity, and (iii) Tenant has delivered evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that Tenant is Profitable (as herein defined), then from and after the (A) thirty seventh (37th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, Tenant may cause the amount of the Letter of Credit to be reduced to an amount equal to six (6) months’ of the then-existing Basic Rent, and (B) sixty first (61st) anniversary of the Commencement Date, 

- 10 -



 

Tenant may cause the amount of the Letter of Credit to be reduced to an amount equal to three (3) months’ of the then-existing Basic Rent. As used herein, the term “Profitable” means for the preceding four (4) full calendar quarters, Tenant shall have Free Cash Flow (as herein defined) in the aggregate sum greater than One Dollar ($1.00). As used herein, the term “Free Cash Flow” means cash flow from operations, minus capital expenses, each as determined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. 

Section 2.5.  Additional Rent.  Beginning with the Commencement Date (with regards to the 1020 Space) and beginning with the 1060 Additional Rent Commencement Date (with regards to the 1060 Space), Tenant shall pay to Landlord the following, in addition to the Basic Rent and as Additional Rent, whether or not the same to be designated as such, and Additional Rent shall be included in the term "rent" wherever used in this Lease; and, unless another time shall be expressly provided for the payment thereof, all rent and Additional Rent shall be due and payable together with the next succeeding installment of Basic Rent; and Landlord shall have the same remedies for failure to pay the same as for a nonpayment of Basic Rent:

(a)  Tenant's proportionate share of expenses for the operation, management, maintenance and repair of the building(s) (including common areas of the building(s)) in which the Premises are located and Common Areas of the Complex as set forth in Article 7, and

(b)  Tenant's proportionate share of all utilities relating to the building(s) in which the Premises are located as set forth in Article 11, and

(c)  Tenant's proportionate share of all Real Property Taxes relating to the Complex as set forth in Article 12, and

(e)  All charges, costs and expenses which Tenant is required to pay hereunder, together with all interest and penalties, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses, that may accrue thereto in the event of Tenant's failure to pay such amounts, and all damages, reasonable costs and expenses which Landlord may incur by reason of default of Tenant or failure on Tenant's part to comply with the terms of this Lease.

Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly, in advance, Tenant's proportionate share of an amount estimated by Landlord to be Landlord's approximate average monthly expenditure for such Additional Rent items, which estimated amount shall be reconciled at the end of each calendar year as compared to Landlord's actual expenditure for said Additional Rent items, with Tenant paying to Landlord, upon demand, any amount of actual expenses expended by Landlord in excess of said estimated amount, or Landlord refunding to Tenant (providing Tenant is not in default in the performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease) any amount of estimated payments made by Tenant in excess of Landlord's actual expenditures for said Additional Rent items.

If the 1060 Building does not have at least one hundred percent (100%) of the rentable area thereof occupied at all times during any calendar year period during the demised term, then the variable portion of all charges, costs and expenses which Tenant is required to pay herein (including expenses for the operation, management, maintenance and repair of the 

- 11 -



 

1060 Building [including common areas of the 1060 Building] and Common Areas of the Complex, all utilities relating to the 1060 Building and the Complex, and all Real Property Taxes and insurance premiums relating to the Complex) (herein, the “Operating Expenses”) for such period shall be deemed to be equal to the total of the variable portion of such Operating Expenses which would have been incurred by Landlord if one hundred percent (100%) of the rentable area of the 1060 Building had been occupied for the entirety of such calendar year with all tenants paying full rent, as contrasted with free rent, half rent or the like.

Tenant's payment for such Additional Rent as of the commencement of the term of this Lease shall be Twenty Two Thousand Dollars ($22,000.00) per month with respect to the 1020 Space and Eleven Thousand One Hundred Dollars ($11,100.00) per month with respect to the 1060 Space. 

The respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Article shall survive the expiration or other termination of the demised term of this Lease, and if the demised term hereof shall expire or shall otherwise terminate on a day other than the last day of a calendar year, the actual Additional Rent incurred for the calendar year in which the demised term hereof expires or otherwise terminates shall be determined and settled on the basis of the statement of actual Additional Rent for such calendar year and shall be prorated in the proportion which the number of days in such calendar year preceding such expiration or termination bears to 365. Landlord shall endeavor to provide Landlord’s reconciliation statement for the final year of the demised term of this Lease to Tenant no later than one hundred eighty (180) days following the expiration of the last fiscal year of the demised term of this Lease. 

Section 2.6.  Any amount due from Tenant to Landlord that is not paid when due shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%) per annum or (ii) the highest rate then permitted to be charged on late payments under leases under California law; provided, however, the payment of any such interest shall not excuse or cure the default upon which such interest accrued.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that payment of such interest on late payments is reasonable compensation to Landlord for the additional costs incurred by Landlord caused by such late payment, including, but not limited to, collection and administration expenses and the loss of the use of the money that was late in payment.

ARTICLE 8 - Acceptance and Surrender of Premises

Section 8.1.  Subject to Landlord’s repair and maintenance obligations expressly set forth in this Lease, by entry hereunder, Tenant accepts the Premises as being in good and sanitary order, condition and repair and accepts the buildings and improvements included in the Premises in their present condition and without representation or warranty by Landlord as to the condition of such buildings or as to the use or occupancy which may be made thereof.  Any exceptions to the foregoing must be by written agreement executed by Landlord and Tenant.

Section 8.2.  Tenant agrees on the last day of the demised term, or on the sooner termination of this Lease, to surrender the Premises promptly and peaceably to Landlord in the same condition as of the Commencement Date (damage by acts of God, fire, normal wear and tear excepted) together with all alterations, additions and improvements which may have been made in, to, or on the Premises (except movable trade fixtures installed at the expense of Tenant).  Landlord, at the time Tenant submits Tenant's detailed plans and specifications for the Tenant Improvements to be constructed in the Premises, shall advise whether Tenant shall be required to remove any of the Tenant Improvements from the Premises at the end of the term (except that Landlord agrees that the Tenant Improvements, to the extent substantially the same as the Preliminary Plans (as defined in Section 3.2), shall not be required to be removed), and Tenant shall repair and restore in good and workmanlike manner to good condition any damage to the Premises, buildings and Common Areas caused by such removal.  Notwithstanding whether or not so noted on Tenant’s Preliminary Plans or detailed plans and specifications for the Tenant Improvements, Landlord hereby advises Tenant that Landlord shall have the right, by notice to Tenant given at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the demised term, to require Tenant to remove the patio improvements and restore the Common Area and/or the Premises to its condition prior to installation of the patio improvements, including without limitation, any gas lines installed in the Premises and/or Common Areas to serve the patio.  If Landlord shall so require, then Tenant shall restore said Premises and/or Common Areas or such part or parts thereof before the end of this Lease at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant, on or before the end of the demised term or sooner termination of this Lease, shall remove all of Tenant's personal property and trade fixtures from the Premises, and all property not so removed on or before the end of the term or sooner termination of this Lease shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant and title to same shall thereupon pass to Landlord without compensation to Tenant.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all of Tenant’s furniture and filing systems, even if bolted or otherwise attached to floors, walls or and/or ceilings, shall be deemed to be Tenant’s personal property and shall be removed by Tenant on or before the end of the demised term or sooner termination of this Lease.   Landlord may, upon termination of this Lease, remove all furniture and equipment so abandoned by Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost, and repair any damage caused by such removal at Tenant's sole cost.  If the Premises be not surrendered at the end of the term or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against loss or liability resulting from the delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on such delay.  Nothing contained herein shall be construed as an extension of the term hereof or as a consent of Landlord to any holding over by Tenant.  The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease or the Premises by Tenant or a mutual cancellation of this Lease shall not work as a merger and, at the option of Landlord, shall either terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies or operate as an assignment to Landlord of all or any such subleases or subtenancies.

ARTICLE 9 - Alterations and Additions

Section 9.1.  Tenant shall not make, or suffer to be made, any alteration or addition to the Premises, or any part thereof, without written consent of Landlord first had and obtained by Tenant, which consent by Landlord shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and such alteration or addition shall be at the cost of Tenant; and any addition to, or alteration of, the Premises, except moveable furniture and trade fixtures, shall at once become a part of the Premises and belong to Landlord.  If Landlord consents to the making of any alteration, addition, or improvement to or of the Premises by Tenant, the same shall be made by Landlord at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

All heating, lighting, electrical, air-conditioning, partitioning, drapery, carpeting and floor installations made by Tenant, together with all property that has become an integral part of the Premises, shall not be deemed trade fixtures.  Tenant agrees that it will not proceed to make any alteration or additions without having obtained consent from Landlord to do so, and until five (5) days from the receipt of such consent, in order that Landlord may post appropriate notices to avoid any liability to contractors or material suppliers for payment for Tenant's improvements.  Tenant will at all times permit such notices to be posted and to remain posted until the completion of work.  Tenant shall, if reasonably required by Landlord, secure at Tenant's own cost and expense a completion and lien indemnity bond satisfactory to Landlord for such work.

Section 11.2.

Section 11.3.  Landlord shall furnish to the Premises between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. (“Building Hours”), Mondays through Fridays (holidays excepted), and subject to the rules and regulations of the Complex hereinbefore referred to, reasonable quantities of water, gas and electricity suitable for the normal use of the Premises as general office space and heat and air-conditioning required in Landlord's judgment for the comfortable use and occupation of the Premises for such purposes.  With respect to the heating and air-conditioning of the 1020 Building, Tenant shall have the right, upon prior written notice to Landlord, to modify the Building Hours only during the demised term or portion thereof that Tenant is the sole occupant of the entire 1020 Building. At Tenant’s election, Landlord shall furnish to the 1020 Space such reasonable quantities of utilities outside of Building Hours; provided, however, to the extent that such additional building utilities are provided to Tenant outside of Building Hours, Tenant shall be responsible for the costs and expenses pertaining thereto.  In no event shall Landlord be obligated to make any alterations and/or change any building systems to accommodate Tenant’s request for utilities outside of Building Hours.    Tenant agrees that at all times it will cooperate fully with Landlord and abide by all regulations and requirements that Landlord may reasonably prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the building heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems.  Whenever heat generating machines, equipment, or any other devices (including exhaust fans) are used in the Premises by Tenant which affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air-conditioning system, Landlord shall have the right to install supplementary air-conditioning units in the Premises and the cost thereof, including the cost of installation and the cost of operation and maintenance thereof, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand by Landlord.  Tenant will not, without the written consent of Landlord, use any apparatus or device in the Premises, including, without limitation, electronic data processing machines or machines using current in excess of 110 Volts, which will in any way increase the amount of electricity, gas, water or air-conditioning usually furnished or supplied to premises being used as general office space, or connect with electric current (except through existing electrical outlets in the Premises), or with gas or water pipes any apparatus or device for the purposes of using electric current, gas, or water.  If Tenant shall require water, gas, or electric current in excess of that usually furnished or supplied to premises being used as general office space, Tenant shall first obtain the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and Landlord may cause an electric current, gas, or water meter to be installed in the Premises in order to measure the amount of electric current, gas, or water consumed for any such excess use.  The cost of any such meter and of the installation, maintenance and repair thereof, all charges for such excess water, gas and electric current consumed (as shown by such meters and at the rates then charged by the furnishing public utility), and any actual additional expense incurred by Landlord in keeping account of electric current, gas, or water so consumed shall be paid by Tenant, and Tenant agrees to pay Landlord therefor promptly upon demand by Landlord. 

article 12 - Taxes

Section 12.1.  As Additional Rent and in accordance with Article 2 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's proportionate share of all Real Property Taxes which proportionate share shall be allocated to the Premises by square footage or other equitable basis, as calculated by Landlord.  The term "Real Property Taxes", as used herein, shall mean (i) all taxes, assessments, levies and other charges of any kind or nature whatsoever, general and special, foreseen and unforeseen (including all installments of principal and interest required to pay any general or special assessments for public improvements and any 

- 22 -



 

increases resulting from reassessment caused by any change in ownership of the Complex) now or hereafter imposed by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or special district having the direct or indirect power to tax or levy assessments, which are levied or assessed against, or with respect to the value, occupancy or use of all or any portion of the Complex (as now constructed or as may at any time hereafter be constructed, altered, or otherwise changed) or Landlord's interest therein; any improvements located within the Complex (regardless of ownership); the fixtures, equipment and other property of Landlord, real or personal, that are an integral part of and located in the Complex; or parking areas, public utilities, or energy within the Complex; (ii) all charges, levies or fees imposed by reason of environmental regulation or other governmental control of the Complex; and (iii) all costs and fees (including attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord in contesting any Real Property Tax and in negotiating with public authorities as to any Real Property Tax.  If at any time during the term of this Lease the taxation or assessment of the Complex prevailing as of the commencement date of this Lease shall be altered so that in lieu of or in addition to any Real Property Tax described above there shall be levied, assessed or imposed (whether by reason of a change in the method of taxation or assessment, creation of a new tax or charge, or any other cause) an alternate or additional tax or charge (i) on the value, use or occupancy of the Complex or Landlord's interest therein or (ii) on or measured by the gross receipts, income or rental from the Complex, on Landlord's business of leasing the Complex, or computed in any manner with respect to the operation of the Complex, then any such tax or charge, however designated, shall be included within the meaning of the term "Real Property Taxes" for purposes of this Lease.  If any Real Property Tax is based upon property or rents unrelated to  the Complex, then only part of such real Property Tax that is fairly allocable to the Complex shall be included within the meaning of the term "Real Property Taxes".  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Real Property Taxes" shall not include estate, inheritance, gift or franchise taxes of Landlord or the federal or state net income tax imposed on Landlord's income from all sources, and Tenant shall not be required to pay any tax or assessment or any increase therein resulting from the improvement of any portion of the buildings for the sole use of other occupants of the Complex.

Section 12.2.  Taxes on Tenant's Property

(a)  Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay ten (10) days before delinquency, taxes levied against any personal property or trade fixtures existing in the Premises and used by Tenant during the demised term or placed by Tenant in or about the Premises.  If any such taxes on Tenant's personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord's property or if the assessed value of the Premises is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such personal property or trade fixtures of Tenant and if Landlord, after written notice to Tenant, pays the taxes based on such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof, but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand, as the case may be, repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord, or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment; provided that in any such event Tenant shall have the right, in the name of Landlord and with Landlord's full cooperation, to bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover the amount of any such taxes so paid under protest, and any amount so recovered shall belong to Tenant.

- 23 -



 

(b)  If the tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which standard office improvements in other space in the Complex are assessed, then the real property taxes and assessments levied against Landlord or the Complex by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 12.2(a) above.  If the records of the County Assessor are available and sufficiently detailed to serve as a basis for determining whether said tenant improvements are assessed at a higher valuation than standard office improvements in other space in the Complex, such records shall be binding on both the Landlord and Tenant.  If the records of the County Assessor are not available or sufficiently detailed to serve as a basis for making said determination, the actual cost of construction shall be used.

ARTICLE 13 - Liability Insurance

Section 13.1.  Tenant, at Tenant's expense, agrees to keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of comprehensive public liability insurance with limits in the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for injuries to or death of any one or more persons occurring in, on or about the Premises or the Complex, and damage to property, combined single limit.  The policy or policies affecting such insurance, certificates of which shall be furnished to Landlord, shall name Landlord as an additional insured; shall be issued by an insurance company admitted to transact business in the State of California with an A.M. Best Company rating of A- VIII or better and otherwise acceptable to Landlord; and Tenant shall provide that the insurance effected thereby shall not be canceled, except upon ten (10) days' prior written notice to Landlord (which notice may be provided by Tenant).  If, during the term of this Lease, in the considered opinion of Landlord's Lender, the amount of insurance described in this Article 13 is not adequate, Tenant agrees to increase said coverage to such commercially reasonable amount as Landlord's Lender shall deem adequate.

ARTICLE 14 - Tenant's Insurance

Tenant shall maintain a policy or policies of fire and property damage insurance including “Special Perils” provisions with a sprinkler leakage endorsement insuring the personal property (including wall coverings, carpeting and drapes), inventory, trade fixtures, furnishings and operating equipment within the Premises, whether supplied by Tenant or existing in the Premises upon commencement of this Lease, for the full replacement value thereof.  The proceeds from any such policies shall be used for the repair or replacement of such items so insured.

ARTICLE 15 - Property Insurance

Section 15.1.

If Landlord's standard insurance cost is increased due to Tenant's use of the Premises or the Complex, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the full cost of such increase. Tenant shall have no interest in nor any right to proceeds of any insurance procured by Landlord for the Complex.  Tenant shall submit to Landlord an itemized statement setting forth the cost of any leasehold improvements installed by Tenant promptly upon completion thereof.  Tenant shall periodically notify Landlord in writing of any change in the replacement value of any such leasehold improvements to enable Landlord to adjust its insurance accordingly.

Landlord and Tenant do each hereby respectively release the other, to the extent of insurance coverage maintained, or required to be maintained, hereunder, from any liability for loss or damage caused by fire or any of the extended coverage casualties included in the releasing party's insurance policies, irrespective of the cause of such fire or casualty.

ARTICLE 16 - Indemnification

Section 16.1.  Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord for any injury to or death of any person or damage to or destruction of property in or about the Premises or the Complex by or from any cause whatsoever, including, without limitation, gas, fire, oil, electricity or leakage of any character from the roof, walls, basement or other portion of the Premises or the Complex but excluding, however, the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, servants, employees, or contractors.

ARTICLE 17 - Compliance

Section 17.1.  Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations or requirements now or hereafter in effect applicable to Tenant’s use of the Premises; with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted; and with any direction or occupancy certificate issued pursuant to law by any public officer; provided, however, that no failure to comply with the foregoing shall be deemed a breach of this Lease if Tenant, immediately upon notification, commences to remedy or rectify said failure.  The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any such law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule, regulation, requirement, direction or provision, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.  This Article shall not be interpreted as requiring Tenant to make structural changes or improvements, except to the extent such changes or improvements are required as a result of Tenant's use of the Premises.  Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with any and all requirements pertaining to said Premises, of any insurance organization or company, necessary for the maintenance of reasonable fire and public liability insurance covering the Premises.

Section 17.2.  Tenant shall, at its expense, comply with all applicable laws, regulations, rules and orders, regardless of when they become or became effective applicable to Tenant’s use of the Premises, including, without limitation, those relating to health, safety, noise, environmental protection, waste disposal, and water and air quality, and furnish satisfactory evidence of such compliance upon request of Landlord.

Should any discharge, leakage, spillage, emission or pollution of any type occur upon or from the Premises or the Complex due to Tenant's use and occupancy thereof, Tenant, at its expense, shall be obligated to remedy the same to the satisfaction of Landlord and any governmental body having jurisdiction thereover.  Tenant agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Landlord against all liability, cost, and expense (including without limitation any fines, penalties, judgments, litigation costs, and attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant's breach of this section, or as a result of any such discharge, leakage, spillage, emission, or pollution, regardless of whether such liability, cost, or expense arises during or after the demised term, except to the extent such liability, cost or expense is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, servants, employees, or contractors.

ARTICLE 18 - Liens

Section 18.1.  Tenant shall promptly pay all sums of money in respect to any labor, services, materials, supplies or equipment furnished or alleged to have been furnished to Tenant in, at or about the Premises, or furnished to Tenant's agents, employees, contractors or subcontractors, that may be secured by any mechanic's, materialmen's, supplier's or other liens against the Premises or Landlord's interest therein.  In the event any such or similar liens shall be filed, Tenant shall, within three (3) days of receipt thereof, give notice to Landlord of such lien, and Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after receiving notice of the filing of the lien, discharge such lien by payment of the amount due to the lien claimant.  However, Tenant may in good faith contest such lien provided that within such ten (10) day period Tenant provides Landlord with a surety bond of a company acceptable to Landlord, protecting against said lien in an amount at least one and one-half (1-1/2) times the amount claimed or secured as a lien or such greater amount as may be required by applicable law and provided further that Tenant, if it should decide to contest such lien, shall agree to indemnify, defend and save harmless Landlord from and against all costs arising from or out of any proceeding with respect to such lien.  Failure of Tenant to discharge the lien, or if contested to provide such bond and indemnification, shall constitute a default under this Lease and in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge or secure the release of any lien by paying the amount claimed to be due, and the amount so paid by Landlord, and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord therewith, including, but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord forthwith on demand.  Notwithstanding any such contest, if any such lien shall be reduced to final judgment and such judgment or such process as may be issued for the enforcement thereof is not promptly stayed or if so stayed and said stay thereafter expires, then and in any such event Tenant shall forthwith pay and discharge said judgment.  Landlord shall have the right to post and maintain on the Premises such notices of non-responsibility as are provided for under the mechanic's lien laws of California.

Section 19.1.

A.Except as otherwise provided herein, Tenant shall not, by operation of law or otherwise, transfer, assign, sublet, enter into license or concession agreements, change ownership, mortgage or hypothecate this Lease or the Tenant's interest in and to the Premises without first procuring the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Any attempted transfer, assignment, subletting, license or concession agreement, change of ownership, mortgage or hypothecation without Landlord's written consent shall be void and confer no rights upon any third person.  Tenant agrees and acknowledges that it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold, condition or delay its consent to a proposed assignment or sublease if the proposed assignee or sublessee (i) shall not have a net worth, at the time of the assignment or sublease, sufficient to discharge Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, as reasonably determined by Landlord; or (ii) shall have undertaken a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or insolvency action or an assignment of or by such assignee or sublessee for the benefit of creditors, or any similar action undertaken by such assignee or sublessee, at any time within the thirty six (36) month period prior to such proposed assignment or sublease.  Tenant shall give Landlord not less 

- 27 -



 

than thirty (30) days' notice prior to the effective date of any such assignment or sublease.  In the event this Lease is being assigned or more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises is being subleased for the majority of the remaining demised term, the provisions of Section 19.3 below shall apply.  Nothing herein contained shall relieve Tenant and any Guarantor from its covenants and obligations for the demised term.  Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for Landlord's reasonable outside attorneys' fees incurred in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any such requested transfer, assignment, subletting, licensing or concession agreement, change of ownership, mortgage or hypothecation of this Lease or Tenant's interest in and to the Premises, not to exceed $1,500.00 per request.  

B.If Landlord consents to any assignment or sublease pursuant to this Article, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent:

(a)in the case of each and every assignment, one half (1/2) of an amount equal to all monies, property, and other consideration of every kind whatsoever paid or payable to Tenant by the assignee for such assignment and for all property of Tenant transferred to the assignee as part of the transaction (including, but not limited to, fixtures, other leasehold improvements, furniture, equipment, and furnishings) but only to the extent such consideration exceeds the fair market value thereof [after subtracting the costs described in subparagraphs (b)(ii) and (b)(iii) herein in connection with such assignment]; and

(b)in the case of each and every sublease, one half (1/2) of the amount by which all rent, and/or other monies, property, and consideration of every kind whatsoever paid or payable to Tenant by the subtenant under the sublease, exceeds the sum of:

(i) all Basic Rent and Additional Rent under this Lease accruing during the term of the sublease in respect of the subleased space (as reasonably determined by Landlord, taking into account the useable area of the premises demised under the sublease); plus 

(ii)  attorney’s fees up to $1,500.00 actually paid by Tenant to an independent outside attorney and commissions actually paid by Tenant to procure the sublease to an independent third party licensed real estate broker, amortized over the term of the sublease, commencing with the date on which the sublease term commences; plus

(iii)  the actual cost of allowances or leasehold improvements provided or undertaken by Tenant (subject to Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) solely to prepare the sublease space for the subtenant, amortized over the period of the term of the sublease, commencing with the date on which the sublease commences.

C.Each transfer, assignment, subletting, license, concession agreement, mortgage and hypothecation to which there has been consent (or for which no consent shall be required) shall be by an instrument in writing in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and shall be executed by the transferor, assignor, sublessor, licensor, concessionaire, hypothecator or mortgagor and the transferee, assignee, sublessee, licensee, concessionaire or mortgagee in 

- 28 -



 

each instance, as the case may be; and each transferee, assignee, sublessee, licensee, concessionaire or mortgagee shall agree in writing for the benefit of Landlord herein to assume, to be bound by, and to perform the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be done, kept and performed by Tenant, including the payment of all amounts due or to become due under this Lease directly to Landlord (except in the event of a sublease, to the extent applicable to such sublease).  One (1) executed copy of such written instrument shall be delivered to Landlord.  Failure to first obtain in writing Landlord's consent or failure to comply with the provisions of this Article shall operate to prevent any such transfer, assignment, subletting, license, concession agreement, mortgage, or hypothecation from becoming effective.

D.If Tenant hereunder is a corporation which, under the then current laws of the State of California, is not deemed a publicly traded corporation, as defined in California Corporations Code Section 1502.1 or any successor to such section, or is an unincorporated association or partnership, the transfer, assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation, association or partnership in the aggregate in excess of fifty percent (50%) shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning and provisions of this Section 19.1.

E.The consent of Landlord to any transfer, assignment, sublease, license or concession agreement, change in ownership, mortgage or hypothecation of this Lease is not and shall not operate as a consent to any future or further transfer, assignment, sublease, license or concession agreement, change in ownership, mortgage or hypothecation, and Landlord specifically reserves the right to refuse to grant any such consents except as otherwise provided in this Section 19.1.

F.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant may, without Landlord's prior written consent (and without the provisions of Section 19.3 or 19.1.B applying), provided that Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable notice and cure period and further provided that such assignee or sublessee shall comply with all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, without any modification of this Lease, sublet the Premises or assign the Lease to a Permitted Transferee under the conditions contained herein.  For the purposes hereof, a Permitted Transferee is defined as: (a) the parent corporation of Tenant; or (b) a wholly owned subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant; or (c) any entity which results from a merger or consolidation (provided the net worth of the surviving entity is at least equal to the net worth of Tenant just prior to such merger or consolidation; and further provided that all of the assets then held by Tenant remain or become assets of the surviving entity); or (d) a purchaser of all or substantially all of Tenant's assets or stock as a going concern.  Any such Permitted Transferee shall agree in writing, in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (“Written Assumption”), to assume, to be bound by, and to perform the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be done, kept and performed by Tenant, including the payment of all amounts due or to become due under this Lease directly to Landlord, without any modification of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 19.1.D above, a Permitted Transferee that is purchasing the stock of Tenant shall not be required to provide such Written  Assumption but shall still be required to comply with all of the terms of this Lease. Tenant shall provide Landlord with the following no later than ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the proposed transfer; (i) the name and address of the Permitted Transferee, and (ii) a copy of the proposed sublet or assignment agreement, and (iii) such reasonable information as may be requested by Landlord to substantiate that the proposed assignee or sublessee qualifies as a Permitted Transferee under the definition set forth hereinabove.  Failure of Tenant to so provide Landlord with such 

- 29 -



 

information or a copy of the written instrument effecting the proposed sublease or assignment shall operate to prevent any such sublease or assignment from becoming effective and any such transaction shall be null and void.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed as releasing Tenant from any of its liabilities or other obligations hereunder, including the payment of rent.  The following shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment under this Lease: (i) the original issuance of stock by Tenant on a public exchange or the subsequent sale of stock on a public exchange or the original issuance of stock by Tenant in a private financing (in each event for fair market value) intended to raise capital for Tenant and not intended to circumvent Landlord’s rights under this Article 19, or (ii) the transfer of stock among existing shareholders of Tenant, family members or for estate planning purposes.  None of the transactions permitted under this Section 19.1.E. shall require the consent of Landlord but Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the same as provided hereinabove.

Section 19.2.  Landlord's rights to assign this Lease are and shall remain unqualified.  Upon any sale of the Premises and provided the purchaser assumes all obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall thereupon be entirely released of all obligations of Landlord hereunder arising after such assumption of obligations and shall not be subject to any liability resulting from any act or omission or event occurring after such sale.

Section 19.3.  Except for an assignment or sublease to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in Section 19.1.F above), in the event Tenant proposes to assign its interest in this Lease or sublet more than fifty percent (50%) of the 1060 Space (herein the “1060 Sublet Space”) or sublet more than fifty percent (50%) of the 1020 Space (herein the “1020 Sublet Space”)  at any time during the demised term for the majority of the remaining demised term, it shall first give written notice thereof (the “Assignment/Subletting Notice”) to Landlord together with all other information requested by Landlord with respect to the subject assignment or subletting. Within fifteen (15) business days after Landlord’s receipt of an Assignment/Subletting Notice and such required and/or requested information from Tenant, Landlord may elect by notice (the “Recapture Termination Notice”) in writing to Tenant to recapture (i) the Premises (in the case of a proposed assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease) or (ii) the 1060 Space if Tenant proposes to sublet more than fifty percent (50%) of the 1060 Space, or (iii) at Landlord’s election, either the 1020 Space or the 1020 Sublet Space if Tenant proposes to sublet more than fifty percent (50%) of the 1020 Space,  in which event this Lease shall automatically terminate as to such space on the ninetieth (90th) day (the “Termination Date”) following Tenant’s receipt of the Termination Notice with the same force and effect as if said Termination Date had been designated as the expiration date of this Lease as to said space, and Landlord and Tenant shall upon such Termination Date be released from any and all liabilities thereafter accruing hereunder as to said space. All Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall be apportioned as of the Termination Date. 

ARTICLE 20 - Subordination and Mortgages

Section 20.1.  In the event Landlord's title or leasehold interest is now or hereafter encumbered by a deed of trust, upon the interest of Landlord in the land and buildings in which the Premises are located, to secure a loan from a lender (hereinafter referred to as "Lender") to Landlord, Tenant shall, at the request of Landlord or Lender, execute in writing an agreement subordinating its rights under this Lease to the lien of such deed of trust, or, if so requested, agreeing that the lien of Lender's deed of trust shall be or remain subject and 

- 30 -



 

subordinate to the rights of Tenant under this Lease.  Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord the attorney in fact of Tenant to execute, deliver and record any such instrument or instruments for and in the name and on behalf of Tenant.  Notwithstanding any such subordination, Tenant's possession under this Lease shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice or cure periods.  Tenant agrees to send to any mortgagees and/or deed of trust holders, by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default served by Tenant upon the Landlord, provided that prior to such notice, Tenant has been notified, in writing (by way of notice of assignment of rents or otherwise), of the addresses of such mortgagees and/or deed of trust holders.  Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, any such mortgagees and/or deed of trust holders shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default, or if such default is not reasonably susceptible of cure within that time, then such additional time as may be reasonably necessary if within such thirty (30) days any mortgagee and/or deed of trust holder has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated when such remedies are being diligently pursued.

Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Tenant, as soon as reasonably practicable after execution of this Lease, with a non-disturbance agreement (in a form reasonably acceptable to the mortgagee and Tenant) in favor of Tenant signed by the mortgagee in existence as of the date of this Lease.  Landlord shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a non-disturbance agreement (in a form reasonably acceptable to the mortgagee and Tenant) in favor of Tenant signed by any future mortgagee.  In either such event, Tenant shall pay the mortgagee’s costs to negotiate and execute a non-disturbance agreement.

ARTICLE 21 - Entry by Landlord

Section 21.1.  Landlord reserves, and shall at all reasonable times upon at least twenty four (24) hours’ prior notice (and at all times with no notice in the event of an emergency) have, the right to enter the Premises to inspect them; to perform any services to be provided by Landlord hereunder; to submit the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagers or tenants; to post notices of nonresponsibility; and to alter, improve or repair the Premises and any portion of the Complex, subject to the terms of this Lease, all without abatement of rent; and may erect scaffolding and other necessary structures in or through the Premises where reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed; provided, however, that the business of Tenant shall be interfered with to the least extent that is reasonably practical.  For each of the foregoing purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises, and any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the Premises or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof.  Landlord shall also have the right at any time to change the arrangement or location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, and corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets or other public parts of the Complex and to change the name, number or designation by which the Complex is commonly known, and none of the foregoing shall be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, or shall entitle Tenant to any reduction of rent or other compensation hereunder.

- 31 -



 

ARTICLE 22 - Bankruptcy and Default

Section 22.1.  The commencement of a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or insolvency action or an assignment of or by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or any similar action undertaken by Tenant, or the insolvency of Tenant, shall, at Landlord's option, constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant (provided that if such action was not voluntarily undertaken by Tenant, then Landlord shall not deem such action a breach of this Lease unless Tenant has failed to legally discharge such action within sixty (60) days of its commencement).  If the trustee or receiver appointed to serve during a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, insolvency or similar action elects to reject Tenant's unexpired Lease, the trustee or receiver shall notify Landlord in writing of its election within thirty (30) days after an order for relief in a liquidation action or within thirty (30) days after the commencement of any action.

Section 22.2.  Within thirty (30) days after court approval of the assumption of this Lease, the trustee or receiver shall cure (or provide adequate assurance to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord that the trustee or receiver shall cure) any and all previous defaults under the unexpired Lease and shall compensate Landlord for all actual pecuniary loss and shall provide adequate assurance of future performance under said Lease to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord.  Adequate assurance of future performance, as used herein, includes, but shall not be limited to:  (i) assurance of source and payment of rent, and other consideration due under this Lease, (ii) assurance that the assumption or assignment of this Lease will not breach substantially any provision, such as radius, location, use or exclusivity provision, in any agreement relating to the above described Premises.

Section 22.3.  Nothing contained in this section shall affect the existing right of Landlord to refuse to accept an assignment upon commencement of or in connection with a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or insolvency action or an assignment of Tenant for the benefit of creditors or other similar act.  Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as giving or granting or creating an equity in the Premises to Tenant.  In no event shall the leasehold estate under this Lease, or any interest therein, be assigned by voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding without the prior written consent of Landlord.  In no event shall this Lease or any rights or privileges hereunder be an asset of Tenant under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceedings.

Section 22.4.  The failure to perform or honor any covenant, condition or representation made under this Lease shall constitute a default hereunder by Tenant upon expiration of the appropriate grace period hereinafter provided.  Tenant shall have a period of ten (10) days from the date of written notice from Landlord within which to cure any default in the payment of (i) rental, or adjustment thereto, or (ii) any other monies due hereunder.  Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the date of written notice from Landlord within which to cure any other default under this Lease; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.  Upon an uncured default of this Lease by Tenant beyond any applicable notice or cure periods, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity:

- 32 -



 

(a)  The Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations).  If Tenant breaches any covenants of this Lease or if any event of default occurs, whether or not Tenant abandons the Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect until Landlord terminates Tenant's right to possession by written notice to Tenant, and Tenant shall remain liable to perform all of its obligations under this Lease and Landlord may enforce all of Landlord's rights and remedies, including the right to recover rent as it falls due.  If Tenant abandons the Premises or fails to maintain and protect the same as herein provided, Landlord shall have the right to do all things necessary or appropriate to maintain, preserve and protect the Premises, including the installation of guards, and may do all things appropriate to a re-letting of the Premises, and none of said acts shall be deemed to terminate Tenant's right of possession, unless Landlord elects to terminate the same by written notice to Tenant.  Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for all amounts reasonably expended by Landlord in maintaining, preserving and protecting the Premises, together with interest on the amounts expended from time to time at the maximum legal rate.  Landlord shall also have the right to repair, remodel and renovate the Premises at the expense of Tenant and as deemed necessary by Landlord.

(b)  Landlord shall have the right to terminate Tenant's possession of the Premises, and if Tenant's right to possession of the Premises is terminated by Landlord by reason of a breach of this Lease by Tenant, or by reason of the happening of an event of default, or by reason of abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled, at Landlord’s election, to recover the amounts specified in paragraphs (a) (1), (a) (2) and (a) (4) of Section 1951.2 of the Civil Code of California as such section reads at the date of this Lease, which damages shall include (i) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent and additional rent which had been earned at the time of termination; plus (ii) the worth at the time of award of any amounts by which the unpaid rent and additional rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of any rental loss that Tenant proves could have been avoided; plus (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent and additional rent for the balance of the term of this Lease exceeds the amount of rental loss that Tenant proves may reasonably be avoided; plus (iv) all other amounts due Landlord from Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease.  The right to possession of the Premises by Tenant should not be deemed terminated until Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such termination or until Landlord re-lets all or a portion of the Premises.  Landlord shall be required to mitigate damages by making a good faith effort to re-let the Premises.

As used in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by allowing interest at the legal rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.  As used in subparagraph (iii) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

(c)  No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy herein or by law, provided that each shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy given herein or now hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

- 33 -



 

(d)  The right to have a receiver appointed for Tenant upon application by Landlord, to take possession of the Premises and to apply any rental collected from the Premises.

ARTICLE 23 - Abandonment

Section 23.1.  Tenant shall not abandon the Premises at any time during the term of this Lease; and if Tenant shall abandon or surrender said Premises, or be dispossessed by the process of law, or otherwise, any personal property belonging to Tenant and left on the Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, at the option of Landlord, except such property as may be mortgaged to Landlord. For purposes of this Section 23.1, “abandon” shall mean Tenant vacating the Premises and ceasing to maintain the Premises and/or paying Rent in accordance with the terms of this Lease.

ARTICLE 24 - Destruction

Section 24.1.  In the event the Premises are destroyed in whole or in part from any cause, Landlord may, at its option:

(a)  Rebuild or restore the Premises to their condition prior to the damage or destruction, or

(b)  Terminate this Lease.

If Landlord does not give Tenant notice in writing within thirty (30) days from the destruction of the Premises of its election to either rebuild and restore them, or to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall be deemed to have elected to rebuild or restore them, in which event Landlord agrees, at its expense, promptly to rebuild or restore the Premises, including leasehold improvements installed by Landlord, to their condition prior to the damage or destruction.  Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction in rent while such repair is being made in the proportion that the area of the Premises rendered untenantable by such damage bears to the total area of the Premises.  If Landlord does not complete the rebuilding or restoration within two hundred seventy (270) days following the date of destruction (such period of time to be extended for delays caused by the fault or neglect of Tenant or because of acts of God, acts of public agencies, labor disputes, strikes, fires, freight embargoes, rainy or stormy weather, inability to obtain materials, supplies or fuels, acts of contractors or subcontractors, or delay of the contractors or subcontractors due to such causes or other contingencies beyond the control of Landlord), then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after said 270-day period.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord's obligation to rebuild or restore shall be limited to the building and interior improvements constructed by Landlord as they existed as of the commencement date of the Lease and shall not include restoration of Tenant's trade fixtures, equipment, merchandise or any improvements, alterations or additions made by Tenant to the Premises, which Tenant shall forthwith replace or fully repair at Tenant's sole cost and expense provided this Lease is not cancelled according to the provisions above.

- 34 -



 

Section 24.2.  Unless this Lease is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.  Tenant hereby expressly waives the provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2 (and) Section 1933, Subdivision 4 of the California Civil Code.

Section 24.3.   In the event that the building in which the Premises are situated is damaged or destroyed to the extent of thirty three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) or more of the replacement cost thereof, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, whether the Premises be injured or not.  In the event the destruction of the Premises is caused by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deductible portion of Landlord's insurance proceeds.

ARTICLE 25 - Eminent Domain

Section 25.1.  If all or any part of the Premises shall be taken by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain or conveyance in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate as to any portion of the Premises so taken or conveyed on the date when title vests in the condemnor, and Landlord shall be entitled to any and all payment, income, rent, award or any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection with such taking or conveyance, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or otherwise for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any compensation specifically awarded Tenant for loss of business, Tenant's personal property, moving cost or loss of goodwill shall be and remain the property of Tenant.

Section 25.2.  If (i) any action or proceeding is commenced for such taking of the Premises or any part thereof, or if Landlord is advised in writing by any entity or body having the right or power of condemnation of its intention to condemn the Premises or any portion thereof, or (ii) any of the foregoing events occur with respect to the taking of any space or Common Areas in the Complex not leased hereby, or if any such spaces or Common Areas be so taken or conveyed in lieu of such taking, and Landlord shall decide to discontinue the use and operation of the Complex, or decide to demolish, alter or rebuild the Complex, then, in any of such events, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice thereof within sixty (60) days of the date of receipt of said written advice, or commencement of said action or proceeding, or taking conveyance, which termination shall take place as of the first to occur of the last day of the calendar month next following the month in which such notice is given or the date on which title to the Premises shall vest in the condemnor.

Section 25.3.  In the event of such a partial taking or conveyance of the Premises, if the portion of the Premises taken or conveyed is so substantial that the Tenant can no longer reasonably conduct its business, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease within sixty (60) days from the date of such taking or conveyance, upon written notice to Landlord of its intention so to do, and upon giving of such notice this Lease shall terminate on the last day of the calendar month next following the month in which such notice is given, upon payment by Tenant of the rent from the date of such taking or conveyance to the date of termination.

- 35 -



 

Section 25.4.  If a portion of the Premises be taken by condemnation or conveyance in lieu thereof and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall terminate this Lease as provided herein, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as to the part of the Premises not so taken or conveyed, and the rent herein shall be adjusted as of the date of such taking or conveyance so that thereafter the rent to be paid by Tenant shall be in the ratio that the area of the portion of the Premises not so taken or conveyed bears to the total area of the Premises prior to such taking, and Landlord shall at its own cost and expense make all necessary repairs or alterations to the Premises so as to constitute the portion of the Premises not taken a complete architectural unit for the purposes allowed by this Lease, but such work shall not exceed the scope of the work to be done by Landlord in originally constructing the Premises as of the commencement of the Lease.

Section 25.5.  Each party waives the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130 allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking.

ARTICLE 26 - Sale or Conveyance by LandlordSale

Section 26.1.  In the event of a sale or conveyance of the Complex or any interest therein by any owner of the reversion then constituting Landlord, the transferor shall thereby be released from any further liability (after the date of such transfer and/or upon assumption of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease by such successor) upon any of the terms, covenants or conditions (express or implied) herein contained in favor of Tenant, and in such event, insofar as such transfer is concerned, Tenant agrees to look solely to the responsibility of the successor in interest of such transferor in and to the Complex and this Lease.  This Lease shall not be affected by any such sale or conveyance, and Tenant agrees to attorn to the successor in interest of such transferor.

ARTICLE 27 - Attornment to Lender or Third Party

Section 27.1.  In the event the interest of Landlord in the land and buildings in which the Premises are located (whether such interest of Landlord is a fee title interest or a leasehold interest) is encumbered by deed of trust, and such interest is acquired by the lender or any third party through judicial foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure, or by exercise of a power of sale at private trustee's foreclosure sale, Tenant hereby agrees to attorn to the purchaser at any such foreclosure sale and to recognize such purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease.  In the event the lien of the deed of trust securing the loan from a Lender to Landlord is prior and paramount to the Lease, this Lease shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect for the remainder of the unexpired term hereof, at the same rental herein reserved and upon all the other terms, conditions and covenants herein contained.

ARTICLE 28 - Holding Over

Section 28.1.  Any holding over by Tenant after expiration or other termination of the term of this Lease with the written consent of Landlord delivered to Tenant shall not constitute a renewal or extension of the Lease or give Tenant any rights in or to the Premises except as expressly provided in this Lease.  Any holding over after the expiration or other termination of 

- 36 -



 

the term of this Lease, with the consent of Landlord, shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month, on the same terms and conditions herein specified insofar as applicable except that the monthly Basic Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly Basic Rent required during the last month of the Lease term.

ARTICLE 29 - Certificate of Estoppel

Section 29.1.  Tenant shall at any time upon not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice to Landlord execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord or, at Landlord's request, Landlord's mortgagee, a statement in writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults, if any, are claimed, and (iii) ratifying and certifying any such other matters as may reasonably be requested.  Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises.  Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord; that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, and that not more than one month's rent has been paid in advance.

ARTICLE 30 - Construction Changes

Section 30.1.  It is understood that the description of the Premises and the location of ductwork, plumbing and other facilities therein are subject to such minor changes as Landlord or Landlord's architect reasonably determines to be desirable in the course of construction of the Premises, and no such minor changes, or any minor changes in plans for any other portions of the Complex, shall affect this Lease or entitle Tenant to any reduction of rent hereunder or result in any liability of Landlord to Tenant.  Landlord does not guarantee the accuracy of any drawings supplied to Tenant and verification of the accuracy of such drawings rests with Tenant.

ARTICLE 31 - Right of Landlord to Perform

Section 31.1.  All terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant shall be performed or observed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any reduction of rent.  If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, or other rent, required to be paid by it hereunder or shall fail to perform any other term or covenant hereunder on its part to be performed, and such failure shall continue for five (5) days after written notice thereof by Landlord, Landlord, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation of Tenant hereunder, may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform any such other term or covenant on Tenant's part to be performed; and Landlord shall not be rendered liable to Tenant or any third party for the failure to do so, nor shall Tenant be relieved from any obligation to indemnify Landlord as otherwise provided elsewhere in this Lease.  All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary costs of such performance by Landlord together with interest thereon at the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%) 

- 37 -



 

per annum or (ii) the maximum legal rate from the date of such payment or performance by Landlord, shall be paid (and Tenant covenants to make such payment) to Landlord on demand by Landlord, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of nonpayment by Tenant as in the case of failure by Tenant in the payment of Basic Rent hereunder.

ARTICLE 32 - Attorneys' Fees

Section 32.1.  In the event that Landlord should bring suit for the possession of the Premises, for the recovery of any sum due under this Lease, or because of the breach of any provision of this Lease, or for any other relief against Tenant hereunder, or in the event of any other litigation between Landlord and Tenant with respect to this Lease, then all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the prevailing party therein shall be paid by the other party, which obligation on the part of the other party shall be deemed to have accrued on the date of the commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not the action is prosecuted to judgment.

ARTICLE 33 - Waiver

Section 33.1.  The waiver by either party of the other party's failure to perform or observe any term, covenant or condition herein contained to be performed or observed by such waiving party shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or of any subsequent failure of the party failing to perform or observe the same or any other such term, covenant or condition therein contained, and no custom or practice which may develop between the parties hereto during the term hereof shall be deemed a waiver of, or in any way affect, the right of either party to insist upon performance and observance by the other party in strict accordance with the terms hereof.

ARTICLE 34 - Notices

Section 34.1.  All notices, demands, requests, advices or designations which may be or are required to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sent by personal delivery (provided evidence of delivery is given), United States certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or overnight courier (provided a receipt is given), addressed as follows:
