For purposes hereof, Taxes for any year shall be Taxes which are assessed for any period of such year, whether or not such Taxes are billed and payable in a subsequent calendar year. There shall be included in Taxes for any year the amount of all fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) paid by Landlord during such year in seeking or obtaining any refund or reduction of Taxes, but such fees, costs and expenses shall not exceed the greater of (a) Landlord’s good faith estimation of the amount of refund or reduction of Taxes or (b) the actual amount of refund or reduction of Taxes. Taxes for any year shall be reduced by the net amount of any tax refund received by Landlord attributable to such year. If a special assessment payable in installments is levied against any part of the Property, Taxes for any year shall include only the installment of such assessment and any interest payable or paid during such year.

2.5           RENEWAL OPTION


 


(a)           Tenant shall have two successive options to renew this Lease (each a “Renewal Option”) with respect to the entirety of the Premises for the term of five (5) years each (each a “Renewal Term”), commencing upon expiration of the initial Term, or if the first Renewal Option is exercised, upon the expiration of the first Renewal Term. Each Renewal Option must be exercised, if at all, by written notice given by Tenant to Landlord not earlier than twelve (12) months nor later than nine (9) months prior to expiration of the initial Term (or the first Renewal Term, as applicable). If Tenant properly exercises a Renewal Option, then references in the Lease to the Term shall be deemed to include the Renewal Term. The Renewal Option shall be null and void and Tenant shall have no right to renew this Lease if on the date Tenant exercises the Renewal Option or on the date immediately preceding the commencement date of the Renewal Term (i) a Default beyond the applicable cure period shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, or (ii) Tenant (A) is then subletting more than fifty percent (50%) of the rentable square footage of the Premises other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer (as defined in Section 10.1(e) below) or (B) has assigned this Lease other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer.


 


(b)           If Tenant properly exercises the Renewal Option, then during the Renewal Term all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease as applicable to the Premises during the initial Term shall apply during the Renewal Term, including without limitation the obligation to pay Rent Adjustments, except that (i) Tenant shall accept the Premises in their then “as-is” state and condition and Landlord shall have no obligation to make or pay for any improvements to the Premises (except as determined as part of the Fair Market Rent), and (ii) during the Renewal Term the Monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant shall be ninety-five percent (95%) of the Fair Market Rent during the Renewal Term as hereinafter set forth, except that in no event shall Monthly Base Rent during the Renewal Term be less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Monthly Base Rent in effect during the last month of the initial Term, or first Renewal Term, as applicable, and shall increase by an annually compounded three percent (3%) during each year of the Renewal Term.


 


(c)           For purposes of this Section, the term “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the rental rate, additional rent adjustment and other charges and increases, if any, for space comparable in size, location and quality of the Premises under primary lease (and not sublease) to new or renewing tenants, for a comparable term with a tenant improvement allowance, if applicable and taking into consideration any concessions and such amenities as existing improvements, parking ratio, view, floor on which the Premises are situated and the like, situated in comparable buildings in Berkeley and Emeryville. The Fair Market Rent shall not take into account any Tenant Alterations or other improvements paid for by Tenant.


 


(d)           If Tenant properly exercises a Renewal Option, Landlord, by notice to Tenant not more than thirty (30) days after Tenant’s exercise of such Renewal Option, shall indicate Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rent. Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after the date on which Landlord provides such notice of the Fair Market Rent shall either (i) give Landlord final binding written notice (“Binding Notice”) of Tenant’s acceptance of Landlord’s Determination of the Fair Market Rent, or (ii) if Tenant disagrees with Landlords’ determination, provide Landlord with written notice of Tenant’s election to submit the Fair Market Rent to binding arbitration (the “Arbitration Notice”). If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with either a Binding Notice or Arbitration Notice within such fifteen (15) day period, Tenant shall have been deemed to have given the Binding Notice. If Tenant provides or is deemed to have provided Landlord with a Binding Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Renewal Amendment (as defined below) upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(e)           If the parties are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Rent for the Premises within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Arbitration Notice, Fair Market Rent as of commencement of the Renewal Term shall be determined as follows:


 


(1)           Within fifteen (15) days after the date Tenant delivers the Arbitration Notice, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall obtain and deliver in writing to Landlord a determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Premises for a term equal to the Renewal Term from a broker (“Tenant’s broker”) licensed in the State of California and engaged in the office and lab markets in Berkeley and Emeryville, California, for at least the immediately preceding five (5) years. If Landlord accepts such determination, Landlord shall provide written notice thereof within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of such determination and the Base Rent for the Renewal Term shall be adjusted to an amount equal to the Fair Market Rent determined by Tenant’s broker. Landlord shall be deemed to have rejected Tenant’s determination if Landlord fails to respond within the fifteen (15) day period.


 


(2)           If Landlord provides notice that it rejects, or is deemed to have rejected, such determination, within twenty (20) days after receipt of the determination of Tenant’s broker, Landlord shall designate a broker (“Landlord’s broker”) licensed in the State of California and possessing the qualifications set forth in (1) above. Landlord’s broker and Tenant’s broker shall name a third broker, similarly qualified and who is not then or has not previously acted for either party, within five (5) days after the appointment of Landlord’s broker (“Neutral Broker”).


 


(3)           The Neutral Broker shall determine the Fair Market Rent for the Premises as of the commencement of the Renewal Term within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of such Neutral Broker by choosing the determination of the Landlord’s broker or the Tenant’s broker which is closest to its own determination of Fair Market Rent. The decision of the Neutral Broker shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant.


 


(f)           Landlord shall pay the costs and fees of Landlord’s broker in connection with any determination hereunder, and Tenant shall pay the costs and fees of Tenant’s broker in connection with such determination. The costs and fees of the Neutral Broker shall be paid one-half by Landlord and one-half by Tenant.


 


(g)           If the amount of the Fair Market Rent has not been determined pursuant to this Section 2.5 as of the commencement of the Renewal Term, then Tenant shall continue to pay the Base Rent in effect during the last month of the initial Term (or the first Renewal Term, as applicable) until the amount of the Fair Market Rent is determined. When such determination is made, Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord upon demand.

(h)           If Tenant is entitled to and properly exercises its Renewal Option, upon determination of Fair Market Rent pursuant to this Section 2.5, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the “Renewal Amendment”) to reflect changes in the Base Rent, Term, Expiration Date and other appropriate terms consistent with this Section 2.5. The Renewal Amendment shall be sent to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after determination of Fair Market Rent and, provided the same is accurate, Tenant shall execute and return the Renewal Amendment to Landlord within ten (10) business days after Tenant’s receipt of same, but an otherwise valid exercise of the Renewal Option shall be fully effective whether or not the Renewal Amendment is executed.


 


ARTICLE 3 


RENT


 


Tenant shall pay to Landlord at the address specified in Section 1.1(2), or to such other persons, or at such other places designated by Landlord, without any prior demand therefor in immediately available funds and without any deduction or offset whatsoever (except as otherwise specifically permitted under this Lease), Rent, including Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments in accordance with Article 4, during the Term. Monthly Base Rent shall be paid monthly in advance on the first day of each month of the Term. Monthly Base Rent shall be prorated for partial months within the Term.

(a)           The Rent Adjustment Deposit representing Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the applicable calendar year (or partial calendar year), monthly during the Term with the payment of Monthly Base Rent;


 


(b)           The Rent Adjustment Deposit representing Tenant’s Share of Taxes for the applicable calendar year (or partial calendar year), monthly during the Term with the payment of Monthly Base Rent;


 


(c)           Any Rent Adjustments due in excess of the Rent Adjustment Deposits in accordance with Section 4.2. Rent Adjustments due from Tenant to Landlord for any calendar year (or partial calendar year) shall be Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for such calendar year (or partial calendar year) and Tenant’s Share of Taxes for such calendar year (or partial calendar year); and


 




  





10











  






 


(d)           For purposes of determining Rent Adjustments, if the Building or Property is not fully occupied during all or a portion of any calendar year during the Term, Landlord shall make appropriate adjustments to the variable components of Operating Expenses for such calendar year (or partial calendar year), employing sound accounting and management principles consistently applied, to determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been paid or incurred by Landlord had the Building or Property been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied, and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of Operating Expenses for such calendar year (or partial calendar year).


 


4.2           STATEMENT OF LANDLORD


 


Landlord shall use commercially reasonably efforts to furnish to Tenant, within 120 days following the expiration of each calendar year (but in any event as soon as feasible after the expiration of each calendar year), a statement (“Landlord’s Statement”) showing the following:


 


(a)           Operating Expenses and Taxes for such calendar year;


 


(b)           The amount of Rent Adjustments due Landlord for the last calendar year, less credit for Rent Adjustment Deposits paid, if any; and


 


(c)           Any change in the Rent Adjustment Deposit due monthly in the current calendar year, including the amount or revised amount due for months preceding any such change pursuant to Landlord’s Statement.


 


Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement any amounts for Rent Adjustments then due in accordance with Landlord’s Statement. Any amounts due from Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Section shall be credited to the Rent Adjustment Deposit next coming due, or refunded to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such determination if the Term has already expired, provided Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure period. No interest or penalties shall accrue on any amounts that Landlord is obligated to credit or refund to Tenant by reason of this Section 4.2. Landlord’s failure to deliver Landlord’s Statement or to compute the amount of the Rent Adjustments shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to deliver such items nor constitute a waiver or release of Tenant’s obligations to pay such amounts. The Rent Adjustment Deposit shall be credited against Rent Adjustments due for the applicable calendar year (or partial calendar year). During the last complete calendar year or during any partial calendar year in which the Lease terminates, Landlord may include in the Rent Adjustment Deposit its good faith estimate of Rent Adjustments which may not be finally determined until after the termination of this Lease. Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligation respecting Rent Adjustments shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

If Tenant does not object in writing to Landlord’s Statement within two hundred seventy (270) days of Tenant’s receipt thereof, specifying the nature of the item in dispute and the reasons therefor, then Landlord’s Statement shall be considered final and accepted by Tenant and Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to dispute Landlord’s Statement. If Tenant does dispute any Landlord’s Statement, Tenant shall deliver a copy of any such audit to Landlord at the time of notification of the dispute. If Tenant does not provide such notice of dispute and a copy of such audit to Landlord within such two hundred seventy (270) day period, it shall be deemed to have waived such right to dispute Landlord’s Statement. Any amount due to the Landlord as shown on Landlord’s Statement, whether or not disputed by Tenant as provided herein shall be paid by Tenant when due as provided above, without prejudice to any such written exception. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to examine Landlord’s records or to dispute any statement of Operating Expenses and Taxes unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent when due.

Upon resolution of any dispute with respect to Operating Expenses and Taxes pursuant to this Section 4.3, Tenant shall either pay Landlord any shortfall or Landlord shall credit Tenant with respect to any overages paid by Tenant against Tenant’s next Rent Adjustments coming due. In the event it is determined pursuant to this Section 4.3 that Landlord’s Statement overstated the amount of Operating Expenses and Taxes by eight percent (8%) or more, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for its actual and reasonable out-of-pocket audit expenses, not to exceed eight thousand five hundred dollars ($8,500.00) and Landlord shall be responsible for the costs of Landlord’s Accountant. The records obtained by Tenant shall be treated as confidential and neither Tenant nor any of its representatives or agents shall disclose or discuss the information set forth in the audit to or with any other person or entity (“Confidentiality Requirement”) except (a) to Tenant’s attorneys, accountants and consultants as reasonably necessary or (b) to the extent required by applicable laws or court order.

Landlord shall not pay any interest on the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts. The Security Deposit shall not be deemed an advance payment of Rent or a measure of damages for any default by Tenant under this Lease, nor shall it be a bar or defense of any action that Landlord may at any time commence against Tenant. In the absence of evidence satisfactory to Landlord of an assignment of the right to receive the Security Deposit or the remaining balance thereof, Landlord may return the Security Deposit to the original Tenant. regardless of one or more assignments of this Lease. Upon the transfer of Landlord’s interest under this Lease, Landlord’s obligation to Tenant with respect to the Security Deposit shall terminate upon transfer to the transferee of the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof.

If Tenant or any Tenant Party Handles any Hazardous Materials in, on or about the Premises or the Project during the Term, then no later than fifteen (15) days following the Termination Date, Tenant at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain and deliver to Landlord an environmental study, performed by an expert reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, evaluating, the presence or absence of any Tenant Contamination in, on and about the Premises and the Project. Such study shall be based on a reasonable and prudent level of tests and investigations of the Premises and surrounding portions of the Project (if appropriate) which tests shall be conducted no earlier than fifteen (15) days prior to the Termination Date. Liability for any remedial actions required or recommended on the basis of such study shall be allocated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Lease. To the extent any such remedial actions are the responsibility of Tenant, Tenant at its sole expense shall promptly commence and diligently pursue to completion the required remedial actions.


 


(11)         Emergency Response Plans. If Landlord in its reasonable discretion adopts any emergency response plan and/or any Contingency Plan and Emergency Procedures for the Building or for multiple Buildings on or about the Project as contemplated above, Landlord shall provide copies of any such plans and procedures to Tenant and, so long as such plans and procedures are reasonable and do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises or materially increase the cost incurred by Tenant with respect to the Premises, Tenant shall comply with all of the requirements of such plans and procedures to the extent applicable to Tenant and/or the Premises. If Landlord elects to adopt or materially modify any such plans or procedures that apply to the Building during the Term, Landlord shall consult with Tenant in the course of preparing such plans, procedures or modifications in efforts to accurately reflect and maintain consistency with Tenant’s operations in the Premises, but Landlord alone shall determine, in its good faith reasonable discretion, the appropriate scope of such consultation and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to give Tenant any right of approval or disapproval over Landlord’s adoption or modification of any such plans or procedures.

The provisions of this Section and any exercise by either party of any of the rights and remedies contained herein shall be without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that such party may have under this Lease or under applicable Law with respect to any Environmental Conditions and/or any Hazardous Materials. Either party’s exercise or failure to exercise, at any time or from time to time, any or all of the rights granted in this Section shall not in any way impose any liability on such party or shift from the other party to such party any responsibility or obligation imposed upon the other party under this Lease or under Hazardous Materials Laws, Environmental Conditions and/or compliance with Laws.

Tenant’s repair and maintenance obligations include, without limitation, repairs to and replacements of: (a) the systems servicing the Premises, including the electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, mechanical, communication, security and the fire and life safety systems; (b) interior partitions and other improvements; (c) floor coverings and doors; (d) the interior side of demising walls; (e) electronic, phone and data cabling and related equipment that is installed by or for the exclusive benefit of Tenant (collectively, “Cable”); (f) kitchens, including hot water heaters, fixtures and similar facilities exclusively serving Tenant; and (g) Tenant Alterations. Without limiting the generality of clause (a) above, in connection with Tenant’s maintenance of the heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems, Tenant shall obtain and keep in force a preventive maintenance contract providing for regular (at least quarterly) inspection and maintenance by a qualified service contractor(s) reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Within ten (10) business days following written request, Tenant shall deliver Landlord written confirmation from such service contractor(s) verifying that such a contract has been entered into and that the required service will be provided. Subject to Section 16.4 and to the extent Landlord is not reimbursed by insurance proceeds, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of repairing damage to the Building caused by the acts of Tenant, Tenant Related Parties and their respective contractors and vendors. If Tenant fails to make any repairs to the Premises for more than fifteen (15) days after notice from Landlord (although notice shall not be required in an emergency), Landlord may make the repairs, and Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of the repairs, together with an administrative charge in an amount equal to 10% of the cost of the repairs. Tenant hereby waives all right to make repairs at the expense of Landlord or in lieu thereof to vacate the Premises and its other similar rights as provided in California Civil Code Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 or any other Laws (whether now or hereafter in effect). In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for all costs in connection with repairing all special tenant fixtures and improvements constructed by or on behalf of Tenant prior to or during the Lease Term, including without limitation, garbage disposals, showers, plumbing, and appliances.

ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS


 


9.1       TENANT ALTERATIONS


 


(a)        The following provisions shall apply to the completion of any Tenant Alterations:


 


(1)       Tenant shall not, except as provided herein, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, make or cause to be made any Tenant Alterations in or to the Premises or any Property systems serving the Premises. Prior to making any Tenant Alterations, Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten (10) days prior written notice (or such earlier notice as would be necessary pursuant to applicable Law) to permit Landlord sufficient time to post appropriate notices of non-responsibility. Subject to all other requirements of this Article 9, Tenant may undertake Decoration work without Landlord’s prior written consent. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with the names and addresses of all contractors and subcontractors and copies of all contracts. All Tenant Alterations shall be completed at such time and in such manner as Landlord may from time to time reasonably approve, and only by contractors or mechanics approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Landlord may, in its sole discretion, specify the engineers and contractors to perform all work relating to the Building’s systems (including the mechanical, heating, plumbing, security, ventilating, air-conditioning, electrical, communication and the fire and life safety systems in the Building) so long as such engineers and contractors are available and have competitive rates. The contractors, mechanics and engineers who may be used are further limited to those whose work will not cause or threaten to cause disharmony or interference with Landlord or other tenants in the Building and their respective agents and contractors performing work in or about the Building. Landlord may further condition its consent upon Tenant furnishing to Landlord and Landlord approving prior to the commencement of any work or delivery of materials to the Premises related to the Tenant Alterations such of the following as specified by Landlord: architectural plans and specifications, opinions from Landlord’s engineers stating that the Tenant Alterations will not in any way adversely affect the Building’s systems, necessary permits and licenses, certificates of insurance, and such other documents in such form reasonably requested by Landlord. In connection with Tenant Alterations which are reasonably anticipated to cost in excess of $500,000.00, Landlord may, in the exercise of commercially reasonable good-faith judgment, require that Tenant provide Landlord with appropriate evidence of Tenant’s ability to complete and pay for the completion of the Tenant Alterations such as a performance bond or letter of credit. Upon completion of the Tenant Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an as-built mylar and digitized (if available) set of plans and specifications for the Tenant Alterations.


 




  





27











  






 


(2)       Tenant shall pay the cost of all Tenant Alterations and the cost of decorating the Premises and any work to the Property occasioned thereby. Upon completion of Tenant Alterations, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with contractors’ affidavits and full and final waivers of lien and receipted bills covering all labor and materials expended and used in connection therewith and such other documentation reasonably requested by Landlord or Mortgagee.


 


(3)       Tenant agrees to complete all Tenant Alterations (i) in accordance with all Laws, Hazardous Materials Laws, all requirements of applicable insurance companies and in accordance with Landlord’s reasonably promulgated construction rules and regulations, and (ii) in a good and workmanlike manner with the use of good grades of materials. Tenant shall notify Landlord immediately if Tenant receives any notice of violation of any Law in connection with completion of any Tenant Alterations and shall immediately take such steps as are necessary to remedy such violation. In no event shall such supervision or right to supervise by Landlord nor shall any approvals given by Landlord under this Lease constitute any warranty by Landlord to Tenant of the adequacy of the design, workmanship or quality of such work or materials for Tenant’s intended use or of compliance with the requirements of Section 9.1(a)(3)(i) and (ii) above or impose any liability upon Landlord in connection with the performance of such work.


 


(b)       All Tenant Alterations shall without compensation or credit to Tenant, become part of the Premises and the property of Landlord at the time of their installation and shall remain in the Premises, unless pursuant to Article 12, Tenant may remove them or is required to remove them at Landlord’s request.


 




  





28











  






 


(c)       Tenant shall be solely responsible for all Tenant Alterations that Tenant desires to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s use and occupancy thereof, which shall be performed in strict accordance with the foregoing terms and provisions of this Section 9.1. Subject to the terms and provisions hereof, Landlord agrees to contribute an amount not to exceed Eighty-One Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty-Five Dollars ($81,785.00) (the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”) toward the cost of upgrades to the HVAC system servicing the Premises, with any remainder being available for any other Tenant Alterations to the Premises. If the cost of any such work exceeds the Tenant Improvement Allowance, then such excess amount shall be borne solely by Tenant. Landlord shall pay the Tenant Improvement Allowance to Tenant within thirty (30) days following the later to occur of (i) Landlord’s receipt of documentary evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of all of Tenant’s expenditures for work performed and materials used in completing such work; and (ii) Landlord’s receipt of final, unconditional lien releases in form and content satisfactory to Landlord from all persons or entities providing labor and/or materials in connection with such work; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord be obligated to pay any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance to Tenant prior to the Commencement Date. If Landlord fails to timely fund the Tenant Improvement Allowance within the time period set forth above in this Section 9.1(c), then Tenant shall be entitled to deliver written notice (a “Payment Notice”) thereof to Landlord. If Landlord still fails to fulfill any such obligation within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Payment Notice from Tenant and if Landlord fails to deliver written notice to Tenant within such ten (10) business day period explaining Landlord’s reasons that the amounts described in Tenant’s Payment Notice are not due and payable by Landlord (“Refusal Notice”), then Tenant shall be entitled to offset such amount(s), together with interest at the Default Rate from the date of the Payment Notice until the date of offset, against Tenant’s obligation to pay monthly Base Rent. However, Tenant shall not be entitled to any such offset if Tenant is in default under the Lease at the time that such offset would otherwise be applicable. If Landlord delivers a Refusal Notice, and if Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree on the amounts to be so paid by Landlord, if any, within ten (10) business days after Tenant’s receipt of a Refusal Notice, then either Landlord or Tenant may elect to have such dispute resolved by binding arbitration before a retired judge of the Superior Court of the State of California under the auspices of JAMS/ENDISPUTE (or any successor to such organization) in Alameda County, California, according to the then rules of commercial arbitration of such organization. If Tenant prevails in any such arbitration, Tenant shall be entitled to offset the amount determined to be payable by Landlord in such proceeding together with interest at the Default Rate from the date of the Payment Notice against Tenant’s next obligations to pay monthly Base Rent (but Tenant shall not be entitled to any such offset if Tenant is in default under the Lease.


 


9.2       LIENS


 


Tenant shall not permit any lien or claim for lien of any mechanic, laborer or supplier or any other lien to be filed against the Building, the Land, the Premises, or any other part of the Property arising out of work performed, or alleged to have been performed by, or at the direction of. or on behalf of Tenant. If any such lien or claim for lien is filed, Tenant shall within ten (10) business days of receiving notice of such lien or claim (a) have such lien or claim for lien released of record or (b) deliver to Landlord a bond in form, content, amount, and issued by surety, satisfactory to Landlord, indemnifying, protecting, defending and holding harmless the Indemnitees against all costs and liabilities resulting from such lien or claim for lien and the foreclosure or attempted foreclosure thereof. If Tenant fails to take any of the above actions, Landlord, in addition to its rights and remedies under Article 11, without investigating the validity of such lien or claim for lien, may pay or discharge the same and Tenant shall, as payment of additional Rent hereunder, reimburse Landlord upon demand for the amount so paid by Landlord, including Landlord’s expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

ARTICLE 10


ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING


 


10.1     ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING


 


(a)       Subject to Landlord’s recapture right set forth in Section 10.2, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent of Landlord shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Tenant may not sublease, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or permit the transfer of this Lease or the encumbering of Tenant’s interest therein in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises, or any part thereof, by anyone other than Tenant. Tenant agrees that the provisions governing sublease and assignment set forth in this Article 10 shall be deemed to be reasonable. If Tenant desires to enter into any sublease of the Premises or assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver written notice thereof to Landlord (“Tenant’s Notice”), together with the identity of the proposed subtenant or assignee and the proposed principal terms thereof and financial and other information sufficient for Landlord to make an informed judgment with respect to such proposed subtenant or assignee at least fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement date of the term of the proposed sublease or assignment. If Tenant proposes to sublease less than all of the Rentable Area of the Premises, the space proposed to be sublet and the space retained by Tenant must each be a marketable unit as reasonably determined by Landlord and otherwise in compliance with all Laws. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of its approval or disapproval of the proposed sublease or assignment or its decision to exercise its rights under Section 10.2 within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of Tenant’s Notice (and all required information). In the event Landlord fails to respond to the Tenant’s Notice within said fifteen (15) business day period, then Tenant may resubmit the same to Landlord (any all other parties entitled to receive notices to Landlord) with a cover letter stating “Landlord’s failure to respond shall result in the deemed approval of a proposed sublease or assignment” in all capital letters and in bold face type. In the event Landlord fails to respond to the second Tenant’s Notice within fifteen (15) business days following such second submittal, then such second failure by Landlord shall be deemed consent to such proposed sublease or assignment by Landlord. In no event may Tenant sublease any portion of the Premises or assign the Lease to any other tenant of the Project. For the avoidance of doubt, any notice or submittal by Tenant pursuant to this Article 10 must be provided in accordance with the requirements of Article 24.


 


(b)       With respect to Landlord’s consent to an assignment or sublease, Landlord may take into consideration any factors that Landlord may deem relevant, and the reasons for which Landlord’s denial shall be deemed to be reasonable shall include, without limitation, the following:


 


(i)       the business reputation or creditworthiness of any proposed subtenant or assignee is not reasonably acceptable to Landlord; or


 


(ii)      in Landlord’s reasonable judgment the proposed assignee or sublessee would diminish the value or reputation of the Project or Landlord; or


 




  





30











  






 


(iii)     any proposed assignee’s or sublessee’s use of the Premises would violate Section 7.1 of the Lease or would violate the provisions of any other leases of tenants in the Project; or


 


(iv)     the proposed sublessee or assignee is a current occupant of the Project or a bona fide prospective tenant of Landlord in the Project as demonstrated by a written proposal dated within ninety (90) days prior to the date of Tenant’s request; or


 


(v)      the proposed sublessee or assignee would materially increase the estimated pedestrian and vehicular traffic to and from the Premises and the Project.


 


(c)       Any sublease or assignment shall be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Any subtenant or assignee shall execute such documents as Landlord may reasonably require to evidence such subtenant or assignee’s assumption of the obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of all agreements executed by Tenant and the proposed subtenant and assignee with respect to the Premises. Landlord’s approval of a sublease, assignment, hypothecation, transfer or third party use or occupancy shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s obligation to obtain Landlord’s consent to further assignments or subleases, hypothecations, transfers or third party use or occupancy.


 


(d)       For purposes of this Article 10 and except as provided in Section 10.1(e) below, an assignment shall be deemed to include a change in the majority control of Tenant, resulting from any transfer, sale or assignment of shares of stock of Tenant occurring by operation of Law or otherwise if Tenant is a corporation whose shares of stock are not traded publicly. If Tenant is a partnership, any change in the partners of Tenant shall be deemed to be an assignment.


 


(e)       Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, so long as Tenant is not entering into a transaction described herein for the purpose of avoiding or otherwise circumventing the remaining terms of this Article, Tenant may, subject to the remaining terms of this Section 10 (except 10.2 and 10.3, which shall not apply), assign its entire interest under this Lease or sublease all or a portion of the Premises, without the consent of Landlord, to (i) an Affiliate, or (ii) a successor to Tenant by purchase or other acquisition of Tenant’s capital stock or substantially all of Tenant’s assets, merger, consolidation or reorganization, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) Tenant is not then in Default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods; (2) Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the proposed transfer (or if prior disclosure is limited or restricted by applicable law or contractual confidentiality obligations, then as soon as permissible, but in not event later than the date which is one day following the effective date of the proposed transfer) together with the information required hereunder and such entity shall expressly assume Tenant’s obligations hereunder; (3) with respect to an assignment to an Affiliate, Tenant continues to have a net worth that is not materially less than Tenant’s net worth as of the date immediately prior to such transfer; and (4) with respect to a purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization which results in Tenant ceasing to exist as a separate legal entity, Tenant’s successor shall have a net worth equal to Tenant’s net worth as of the date immediately prior to such transfer, each such transfer being referred to as a “Permitted Transfer”.


 




  





31











  






 


10.2     RECAPTURE


 


Excluding any assignment or sublease contemplated in Section 10.1(e), in connection with any sublease or assignment for all or substantially all of the remaining term, Landlord shall have the option to exclude from the Premises covered by this Lease (“recapture”) the space proposed to be sublet or subject to the assignment, effective as of the proposed commencement date of such sublease or assignment. If Landlord elects to recapture, Tenant shall surrender possession of the space proposed to be subleased or subject to the assignment to Landlord on the effective date of recapture of such space from the Premises, such date being the Termination Date for such space and Landlord shall be responsible for the costs to demise the subject space in the case of a sublease. Effective as of the date of recapture of any portion of the Premises pursuant to this section, the Monthly Base Rent, Rentable Area of the Premises and Tenant’s Share shall be adjusted on an equitable and reasonable basis.


 


10.3     EXCESS RENT


 


           Excluding any assignment or sublease contemplated in Section 10.1(e), Tenant shall pay Landlord on the first day of each month during the term of the sublease or assignment, fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the sum of all rent and other consideration (direct or indirect, but excluding any consideration paid at fair market value for Tenant’s assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment or furniture transferred by Tenant to the transferee in connection with such assignment or sublease) due from the subtenant or assignee for such month exceeds: (i) that portion of the Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments due under this Lease for said month which is allocable to the space sublet or assigned; and (ii) the following costs and expenses for the subletting or assignment of such space: (1) reasonable and customary brokerage commissions, marketing expenses and attorneys’ fees and expenses, (2) the actual costs paid in making any improvements or substitutions in the Premises required by any sublease or assignment; and (3) “free rent” periods, costs of any inducements or concessions given to subtenant or assignee, moving costs, and other amounts in respect of such subtenant’s or assignee’s other leases or occupancy arrangements. All such costs and expenses shall be amortized over the term of the sublease or assignment pursuant to sound accounting principles.


 


10.4     TENANT LIABILITY


 


           In the event of any sublease or assignment, whether or not with Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall not be released or discharged from any liability, whether past, present or future, under this Lease, including any liability arising from the exercise of any renewal or expansion option, to the extent such exercise is expressly permitted by this Lease as may be subsequently amended. Tenant’s liability shall remain primary, and in the event of default by any subtenant, assignee or successor of Tenant in performance or observance of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said subtenant, assignee or successor. After any assignment, Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease, or amendments or modifications of this Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto, and such action shall not relieve Tenant or any successor of Tenant of liability under this Lease. If Landlord grants consent to such sublease or assignment, Tenant shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to such assignment or sublease. In addition, if Tenant has any options to extend the Term or to add other space to the Premises, such options shall not be available to any subtenant or assignee, directly or indirectly without Landlord’s express written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion; provided, however, any assignee of Tenant’s entire interest under this Lease in connection with an assignment in accordance with Section 10.1(e) above, shall continue to have the right to exercise any options to extend the Term.


 




  





32











  






 


10.5     ASSUMPTION AND ATTORNMENT


 


If Tenant shall assign this Lease as permitted herein, the assignee shall expressly assume all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder in a written instrument satisfactory to Landlord and furnished to Landlord prior to the effective date of the assignment. If Tenant shall sublease the Premises as permitted herein, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s option, within fifteen (15) days following any request by Landlord, obtain and furnish to Landlord the written agreement of such subtenant to the effect that the subtenant will attorn to Landlord and will pay all subrent directly to Landlord.


 


10.6     PROCESSING EXPENSES.


 


Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Landlord’s cost of processing each proposed assignment or subletting (whether or not the same is ultimately approved by Landlord or consummated by Tenant), an amount equal to the sum of (i) Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, not to exceed $2,500.00 unless Tenant or its transferee requests changes to this Lease or Landlord’s form of consent, in which case such monetary limitation shall not apply, plus (ii) the sum of $500.00 for the cost of Landlord’s administrative, accounting and clerical time (collectively, “Processing Costs”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall not be required to process any request for Landlord’s consent to an assignment or subletting until Tenant has paid to Landlord the amount of Landlord’s good faith estimate of the Processing Costs. When the actual amount of the Processing Costs is determined, it shall be reconciled with Landlord’s estimate, and any payments or refunds required as a result thereof shall promptly thereafter be made by the parties.


 


ARTICLE 11


DEFAULT AND REMEDIES


 


11.1     EVENTS OF DEFAULT


 


           The occurrence or existence of any one or more of the following shall constitute a “Default” by Tenant under this Lease:


 


(i)      Tenant fails to pay any installment or other payment of Rent including Rent Adjustment Deposits or Rent Adjustments within five (5) business days after notice of delinquency;


 


                           (ii)     Tenant fails to observe or perform any of the other covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease and fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s failure is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion;


 




  





33











  






 


                       (iii)    the interest of Tenant in this Lease is levied upon under execution or other legal process;


 


                           (iv)    a petition is filed by or against Tenant for the benefit of creditors to declare Tenant bankrupt or seeking a plan of reorganization or arrangement under any Chapter of the Bankruptcy Act, or any amendment, replacement or substitution therefor, or to delay payment of, reduce or modify Tenant’s debts, which in the case of an involuntary action is not discharged within sixty (60) days;


 


                           (v)     Tenant is declared insolvent by Law or any assignment of Tenant’s property is made for the benefit of creditors;


 


                           (vi)    a receiver is appointed for Tenant or its property, which appointment is not discharged within sixty (60) days;


 


       (vii)   any action taken by or against Tenant to reorganize or modify such party’s capital structure in a materially adverse way which in the case of an involuntary action is not discharged within sixty (60) days; or


 


                           (viii)  upon the dissolution of Tenant.


 


11.2     LANDLORD’S REMEDIES


 


            (a)     A Default shall constitute a breach of the Lease for which Landlord shall have the rights and remedies set forth in this Section 11.2 and all other rights and remedies set forth in this Lease or now or hereafter allowed by Law, whether legal or equitable, and all rights and remedies of Landlord shall be cumulative and none shall exclude any other right or remedy now or hereafter allowed by applicable Law.


 


            (b)     With respect to a Default, at any time Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession by written notice to Tenant stating such election. Any written notice required pursuant to Section 11.1 shall constitute notice of unlawful detainer pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 if, at Landlord’s sole discretion, it states Landlord’s election that Tenant’s right to possession is terminated after expiration of any period required by Law or any longer period required by Section 11.1. Upon the expiration of the period stated in Landlord’s written notice of termination (and unless such notice provides an option to cure within such period and Tenant cures the Default within such period), Tenant’s right to possession shall terminate and this Lease shall terminate, and Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. Upon such termination in writing of Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord shall have the right, subject to applicable Law, to re-enter the Premises and dispossess Tenant and the legal representatives of Tenant and all other occupants of the Premises by unlawful detainer or other summary proceedings, or as otherwise permitted by Law, regain possession of the Premises and remove their property (including their trade fixtures, personal property and Required Removables pursuant to Article 12), but Landlord shall not be obligated to effect such removal, and such property may, at Landlord’s option, be stored elsewhere, sold or otherwise dealt with as permitted by Law, at the risk of, expense of and for the account of Tenant, and the proceeds of any sale shall be applied pursuant to Law. Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping of any such property. Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages that may be caused by Landlord’s removing or storing Tenant’s personal property pursuant to this Section or Section 12.1, and Tenant hereby indemnifies, and agrees to defend, protect and hold harmless, the Indemnitees from any and all loss, claims, demands, actions, expenses, liability and cost (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of or in any way related to such removal or storage unless caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees. Upon such written termination of Tenant’s right to possession and this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to recover damages for Tenant’s Default as provided herein or by Law, including the following damages provided by California Civil Code Section 1951.2:


 




  





34











  






 


(1)       the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination;


 


(2)       the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided;


 


(3)       the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and


 


(4)       any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, Landlord’s unamortized costs of tenant improvements, leasing commissions and reasonable legal fees incurred in connection with entering into this Lease. The word “rent” as used in this Section 11.2 shall have the same meaning as the defined term Rent in this Lease. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above is computed by allowing interest at the Default Rate. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in clause (3) above 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%). For the purpose of determining unpaid Rent under clause (3) above, the monthly Rent reserved in this Lease shall be deemed to be the sum of the Monthly Base Rent, and the amounts last payable by Tenant as Rent Adjustments for the calendar year in which Landlord terminated this Lease as provided hereinabove.


 


            (c)      Even if Tenant is in Default and/or has abandoned the Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession by written notice as provided in Section 11.2(b) above, and Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover Rent as it becomes due under this Lease. In such event. Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies of a landlord under California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue Lease in effect after Tenant’s Default and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations), or any successor statute. During such time as Tenant is in Default, if Landlord has not terminated this Lease by written notice and if Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of the Premises, subject to Landlord’s option to recapture pursuant to Section 10.2, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such assignment or sublease. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Article 10 shall be deemed to constitute reasonable limitations of Tenant’s right to assign or sublet. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that in the absence of written notice pursuant to Section 11.2(b) above terminating Tenant’s right to possession, no other act of Landlord shall constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession or an acceptance of Tenant’s surrender of the Premises, including acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease or the withholding of consent to a subletting or assignment, or terminating a subletting or assignment, if in accordance with other provisions of this Lease.


 




  





35











  






 


 (d)     Tenant hereby waives any and all rights to relief from forfeiture, redemption or reinstatement granted by Law (including California Civil Code of Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179) in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises by reason of Tenant’s Default or otherwise;


 


            (e)     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, a notice to Tenant given under this Article and Article 24 of this Lease or given pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, and any notice served by mail, shall be deemed served, and the requisite waiting period deemed to begin under said Code of Civil Procedure Section upon mailing (except as may be required under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 et seq.), without any additional waiting requirement under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1011 et seq. or by other Law. For purposes of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1162, Tenant’s “place of residence”, “usual place of business”, “the property” and “the place where the property is situated” shall mean and be the Premises, whether or not Tenant has vacated same at the time of service.


 


            (f)      The voluntary or other surrender or termination of this Lease, or a mutual termination or cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger and shall terminate all or any existing assignments, subleases, subtenancies or occupancies permitted by Tenant, except if and as otherwise specified in writing by Landlord.


 


            (g)     No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of Landlord upon any default by Tenant, and no exercise by Landlord of its rights pursuant to Section 25.15 to perform any duty which Tenant fails timely to perform, shall impair any right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by Landlord unless such waiver is in writing signed by Landlord. The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of this Lease.


 


11.3     ATTORNEY’S FEES


 


          In the event any party brings any suit or other proceeding with respect to the subject matter or enforcement of this Lease, the prevailing party (as determined by the court, agency or other authority before which such suit or proceeding is commenced) shall, in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs of investigation as actually incurred, including court costs, expert witness fees, costs and expenses of investigation, and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in any such suit or proceeding (including in any action or participation in or in connection with any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, 11 United States Code Sections 101 et seq., or any successor statutes, in establishing or enforcing the right to indemnification, in appellate proceedings, or in connection with the enforcement or collection of any judgment obtained in any such suit or proceeding).

11.4      BANKRUPTCY


 


            The following provisions shall apply in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of Tenant:


 


            (a)     In connection with any proceeding under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code where the trustee of Tenant elects to assume this Lease for the purposes of assigning it, such election or assignment, may only be made upon compliance with the provisions of (b) and (c) below, which conditions Landlord and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable. In the event the trustee elects to reject this Lease then Landlord shall immediately be entitled to possession of the Premises without further obligation to Tenant or the trustee.


 


            (b)    Any election to assume this Lease under Chapter 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code by Tenant as debtor-in-possession or by Tenant’s trustee (the “Electing Party”) must provide for:


 


          The Electing Party to cure or provide to Landlord adequate assurance that it will cure all monetary defaults under this Lease within fifteen (15) days from the date of assumption and it will cure all nonmonetary defaults under this Lease within thirty (30) days from the date of assumption. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge such condition to be commercially reasonable.


 


            (c)     If the Electing Party has assumed this Lease or elects to assign Tenant’s interest under this Lease to any other person, such interest may be assigned only if the intended assignee has provided adequate assurance of future performance (as herein defined), of all of the obligations imposed on Tenant under this Lease.


 


            For the purposes hereof, “adequate assurance of future performance” means that Landlord has ascertained that each of the following conditions has been satisfied:


 


                      (i)      The assignee has submitted a current financial statement, certified by its chief financial officer, which shows a net worth and working capital in amounts sufficient to assure the future performance by the assignee of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; and


 


                      (ii)     Landlord has obtained consents or waivers from any third parties that may be required under a lease, mortgage, financing arrangement, or other agreement by which Landlord is bound, to enable Landlord to permit such assignment.


 


(d)    Landlord’s acceptance of rent or any other payment from any trustee, receiver, assignee, person, or other entity will not be deemed to have waived, or waive, the requirement of Landlord’s consent, Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Tenant’s interest under this Lease without such consent, or Landlord’s claim for any amount of Rent due from Tenant.






  





37











  






 


11.5     LANDLORD’S DEFAULT


 


           Landlord shall be in default hereunder in the event Landlord has not commenced and pursued with reasonable diligence the cure of any failure of Landlord to meet its obligations hereunder within thirty (30) days after the receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant of the alleged failure to perform. Failure to provide the requisite notice and cure period by Tenant under this paragraph shall be an absolute defense by Landlord against any claims for failure to perform any of its obligations. In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate or rescind this Lease as a result of Landlord’s default as to any covenant or agreement contained in this Lease. Tenant hereby waives such remedies of termination and rescission and hereby agrees that Tenant’s remedies for default hereunder and for breach of any promise or inducement shall be limited to a suit for damages and/or injunction. In addition, Tenant hereby covenants that, prior to the exercise of any such remedies, it will give the Mortgagee notice and a reasonable time to cure any default by Landlord.


 


ARTICLE 12


SURRENDER OF PREMISES


 


12.1     IN GENERAL


 


           Upon the Termination Date, Tenant shall surrender and vacate the Premises immediately and deliver possession thereof to Landlord in a clean, good and tenantable condition as existed on the Commencement Date, ordinary wear and tear, and damage caused by Landlord, casualty and condemnation excepted. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all keys to the Premises. All improvements in and to the Premises, including any Tenant Alterations (collectively, “Leasehold Improvements”) shall remain upon the Premises at the end of the Term without compensation to Tenant. Landlord, however, by written notice to Tenant at least 30 days prior to the Termination Date, may require Tenant, at its expense, to remove any Tenant Alterations (as so identified, a “Required Removable”); provided, however if requested by Tenant at the time it requests approval for a proposed Tenant Alteration, Landlord shall advise Tenant at the time of granting such consent whether the proposed Tenant Alteration or any portion of the proposed Tenant Alteration is a Required Removable. In no event shall any improvements existing in the Premises as of the Date of this Lease be a Required Removable. The designated Required Removables shall be removed by Tenant before the Termination Date. Tenant shall repair damage caused by the installation or removal of Required Removables. If Tenant fails to perform its obligations in a timely manner, Landlord may perform such work at Tenant’s reasonable expense. In the event possession of the Premises is not delivered to Landlord when required hereunder, or if Tenant shall fail to remove those items described above. Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to), at Tenant’s expense, remove any of such property and store, sell or otherwise deal with such property, and undertake, at Tenant’s reasonable expense, such restoration work as Landlord deems reasonably necessary or advisable.

12.2     LANDLORD’S RIGHTS


 


All property which may be removed from the Premises by Landlord in accordance with Section 12.1 above shall be conclusively presumed to have been abandoned by Tenant and Landlord may deal with such property as provided in Section 11.2(b), including the waiver and indemnity obligations provided in that Section. Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in removing any Tenant Alterations and in restoring the Premises to the condition required by this Lease.


 


ARTICLE 13


HOLDING OVER


 


           In the event that Tenant holds over in possession of the Premises after the Termination Date, for each month or partial month Tenant holds over possession of the Premises. Tenant shall pay Landlord 150% of the monthly Rent payable for the month immediately preceding the holding over (including increases for Rent Adjustments which Landlord may reasonably estimate. If Landlord provides Tenant with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice that Landlord has a signed proposal or lease from a succeeding tenant to lease the Premises, and if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the later of (i) the date of expiration of such thirty (30) day period, or (ii) the date of expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then Tenant shall also pay all consequential damages sustained by Landlord by reason of such holding over. The provisions of this Article shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any re-entry rights of Landlord and Tenant’s continued occupancy of the Premises shall be as a tenancy in sufferance.


 


ARTICLE 14


DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY


 


14.1     SUBSTANTIAL UNTENANTABILITY


 


           (a)     If any fire or other casualty (whether insured or uninsured) renders all or a substantial portion of the Premises or the Building untenantable, Landlord shall, with reasonable promptness after the occurrence of such damage, estimate the length of time that will be required to substantially complete the repair and restoration and shall, by notice advise Tenant of such estimate (“Landlord’s Notice”). If Landlord estimates that the amount of time required to substantially complete such repair and restoration will exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the date such damage occurred, then Landlord, or Tenant if all or a substantial portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable, shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such damage by delivering written notice to the other at any time within twenty (20) days after delivery of Landlord’s Notice, provided that if Landlord so chooses, Landlord’s Notice may also constitute such notice of termination.


 


           (b)     Unless this Lease is terminated as provided in the preceding subparagraph, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable promptness to repair and restore the Premises, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustments and Force Majeure delays, and also subject to zoning Laws and building codes then in effect. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease if such repairs and restoration are not in fact completed within the time period estimated by Landlord so long as Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to complete such repairs and restoration. However, if the repairs are not substantially completed such that the Premises are reasonably tenantable by the date which is three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the date such damage occurred, then Tenant, at any time thereafter until such rebuilding is completed, may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord of such termination, in which event this Lease shall terminate as of the date of the giving of such notice.


 




  





39











  






 


            (c)     Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall be entitled to the full proceeds of any insurance coverage if Landlord will rebuild the Premises pursuant to this Lease, whether carried by Landlord or Tenant, for damages to the Premises, except for those proceeds of Tenant’s insurance of its own personal property and equipment which would be removable by Tenant at the Termination Date.


 


 (d)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein set forth: (i) Landlord shall have no duty pursuant to this Section to repair or restore any portion of any Tenant Alterations or non-Building standard equipment or to expend for any repair or restoration of the Premises or Building in amounts in excess of insurance proceeds paid to Landlord and available for repair or restoration; and (ii) Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section if any damage or destruction was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agent or employees. Whether or not the Lease is terminated pursuant to this Article 14, in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by any such damage, destruction, rebuilding or restoration of the Premises or the Building or access thereto.


 


            (e)     Any repair or restoration of the Premises performed by Tenant shall be in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 hereof.


 


14.2     INSUBSTANTIAL UNTENANTABILITY


 


           If the Premises or the Building is damaged by a casualty but neither is rendered substantially untenantable and Landlord estimates that the time to substantially complete the repair or restoration will not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the date such damage occurred, then Landlord shall proceed to repair and restore the Building or the Premises other than Tenant Alterations and non-Building standard equipment, with reasonable promptness, unless such damage is to the Premises and occurs during the last six (6) months of the Term, in which event either Tenant or Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such casualty by giving written notice thereof to the other within twenty (20) days after the date of such casualty. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, Landlord’s obligation to repair shall be limited in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.1 above.


 


14.3     RENT ABATEMENT


 


           Except for the gross negligence or willful act of Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, if all or any part of the Premises are rendered untenantable by fire or other casualty, Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments shall abate for that part of the Premises which is untenantable on a per diem basis from the date of the casualty until Landlord has Substantially Completed the repair and restoration work in the Premises which it is required to perform or the date the Lease is terminated (as applicable), provided, that as a result of such casualty, Tenant does not occupy the portion of the Premises which is untenantable during such period.

ARTICLE 15


EMINENT DOMAIN


 


15.1     TAKING OF WHOLE OR SUBSTANTIAL PART


 


           In the event the whole or any substantial part of the Building or of the Premises is taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public use or purpose (including a deed given in lieu of condemnation) and is thereby rendered untenantable, this Lease shall terminate as of the date title vests in such authority, and Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments shall be apportioned as of the Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein set forth, in the event the taking is for a period that is less than the remaining Term of the Lease, then Landlord may elect either (i) to terminate this Lease (provided such temporary taking exceeds ninety (90) days), or (ii) permit Tenant to receive the entire award attributable to the Premises in which case Tenant shall continue to pay Rent and this Lease shall not terminate.


 


15.2     TAKING OF PART


 


           In the event a part of the Building or the Premises is taken or condemned by any competent authority (or a deed is delivered in lieu of condemnation) and this Lease is not terminated, the Lease shall be amended to adjust the Monthly Base Rent and Tenant’s Share to reflect the Rentable Area of the Premises or Building, as the case may be, remaining after any such taking or condemnation. Landlord, upon receipt and to the extent of the award in condemnation (or proceeds of sale) shall make necessary repairs and restorations to the Premises (exclusive of Tenant Alterations and non-Building standard equipment) and to the Building to the extent necessary to constitute the portion of the Building not so taken or condemned as a complete architectural and economically efficient unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of any taking, or a governmental order that the grade of any street or alley adjacent to the Building is to be changed and such taking or change of grade makes it necessary or desirable to substantially remodel or restore the Building or prevents the economical operation of the Building, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to Tenant.

15.3     COMPENSATION


 


Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award (or sale proceeds) from any such taking, condemnation or sale without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord, Tenant’s interest, if any, in such award; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right separately to pursue against the condemning authority a separate award in respect of the loss, if any, to Tenant Alterations paid for by Tenant without any credit or allowance from Landlord, moving expenses and loss of goodwill so long as there is no diminution of Landlord’s award as a result.


 


ARTICLE 16

42











  






 


16.3     LANDLORD’S INSURANCE


 


Landlord agrees to purchase and keep in full force and effect during the Term hereof, including any extensions or renewals thereof, insurance under policies issued by insurers of recognized responsibility, qualified to do business in the State of California on the Building in amounts not less than the greater of eighty (80%) percent of the then full replacement cost (without depreciation) of the Building (above foundations and excluding Tenant Alterations), against fire and such other risks as may be included in standard forms of all risk coverage insurance reasonably available from time to time.

Such insurance shall be for a combined single limit of not less than Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00). Neither Landlord’s obligation to carry such insurance nor the carrying of such insurance shall be deemed to be an indemnity by Landlord with respect to any claim, liability, loss, cost or expense due, in whole or in part, to Tenant’s negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct. Without obligation to do so, Landlord may, in its sole discretion from time to time, carry insurance in amounts greater and/or for coverage additional to the coverage and amounts set forth above.

(b)      Tenant agrees to include, so long as the same is permitted under the laws of the State of California, in its “All Risks” insurance policy or policies on Tenant Alterations, whether or not removable, and on Tenant’s furniture, furnishings, fixtures and other property removable by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease appropriate clauses pursuant to which the insurance company or companies (i) waive the right of subrogation against Landlord and/or any tenant of space in the Building with respect to losses payable under such policy or policies and/or (ii) agree that such policy or policies shall not be invalidated should the insured waive in writing prior to a loss any or all right of recovery against any party for losses covered by such policy or policies.


 




  





43











  








 


(c)       Provided that Landlord’s right of full recovery under its policy or policies aforesaid is not adversely affected or prejudiced thereby, Landlord hereby waives any and all right of recovery which it might otherwise have against Tenant, its servants, agents and employees, for loss or damage occurring to the Real Property and the fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein, to the extent the same is covered by Landlord’s insurance, notwithstanding that such loss or damage may result from the negligence or fault of Tenant, its servants, agents or employees. Provided that Tenant’s right of full recovery under its aforesaid policy or policies is not adversely affected or prejudiced thereby, Tenant hereby waives any and all right of recovery which it might otherwise have against Landlord, its servants, and employees and against every other tenant of the Real Property who shall have executed a similar waiver as set forth in this Section 16.4 (c) for loss or damage to Tenant Alterations, whether or not removable, and to Tenant’s furniture, furnishings, fixtures and other property removable by Tenant under the provisions hereof to the extent the same is coverable by Tenant’s insurance required under this Lease, notwithstanding that such loss or damage may result from the negligence or fault of Landlord, its servants, agents or employees, or such other tenant and the servants, agents or employees thereof.

16.5     NOTICE OF CASUALTY


 


Tenant shall give Landlord notice in case of a fire or accident in the Premises promptly after Tenant is aware of such event.


 


ARTICLE 17


WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND INDEMNITY


 


17.1     WAIVER OF CLAIMS


 


To the extent permitted by Law, Tenant hereby releases the Indemnitees from, and waives all claims for, damage to person or property sustained by the Tenant or any occupant of the Premises or the Property resulting directly or indirectly from any existing or future condition, defect, matter or thing in and about the Premises or the Property or any part of either or any equipment or appurtenance therein, or resulting from any accident in or about the Premises or the Property, or resulting directly or indirectly from any act or neglect of any tenant or occupant of the Property or of any other person, including Landlord’s agents and servants, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful and wrongful act of any of the Indemnitees.

17.2     INDEMNITY BY TENANT


 


To the extent permitted by Law, Tenant hereby indemnifies, and agrees to protect, defend and hold the Indemnitees harmless, against any and all actions, claims, demands, liability, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses for the defense thereof, arising from Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, from the undertaking of any Tenant Alterations or repairs to the Premises, from the conduct of Tenant’s business on the Premises, or from any willful act or negligence of Tenant, its agents, contractors, servants, employees, customers or invitees, in or about the Premises or the Property or any part of either. In case of any action or proceeding brought against the Indemnitees by reason of any such claim, upon notice from Landlord, Tenant covenants to defend such action or proceeding by counsel chosen by Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion. Landlord reserves the right to settle, compromise or dispose of any and all actions, claims and demands related to the foregoing indemnity. The foregoing indemnity shall not operate to relieve Indemnitees of liability to the extent such liability is caused by the willful and wrongful act of Indemnitees. Further, the foregoing indemnity is subject to and shall not diminish any waivers in effect in accordance with Section 16.4 by Landlord or its insurers to the extent of amounts, if any, paid to Landlord under its “All-Risks” property insurance. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to indemnify and/or hold the Indemnitees harmless from any loss, cost, liability, damage or expense, including, but not limited to, penalties, fines, attorneys’ fees or costs (collectively, “Claims”), to any person, property or entity to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, contractors, or employees (except for damage to the Tenant Alterations and Tenant’s personal property, fixtures, furniture and equipment in the Premises in which case Tenant shall be responsible to the extent Tenant is required to obtain the requisite insurance coverage pursuant to this Lease). Tenant’s agreement to indemnify Landlord pursuant to this Article 17 is not intended to and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, to the extent such policies cover the matters subject to such indemnification obligations. Further, the foregoing indemnity is subject to and shall not diminish any waivers in effect in accordance with Section 16.4 by Landlord or its insurers to the extent of amounts, if any, paid to Landlord under its “All-Risks” property insurance. This Article 17 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.


 


17.3     INDEMNITY BY LANDLORD


 


To the extent permitted by Law, Landlord hereby indemnifies, and agrees to protect, defend and hold Tenant and its directors, officers and employees (the “Tenant Indemnitees”) harmless, against any and all actions, claims, demands, liability, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for the defense thereof, to the extent arising from any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, in or about the Premises or the Property or any part of either. In case of any action or proceeding brought against the Tenant Indemnitees by reason of any such claim, upon notice from Tenant, Landlord covenants to defend such action or proceeding by counsel chosen by Landlord. The foregoing indemnity shall not operate to relieve Tenant Indemnitees of liability to the extent such liability is caused by the willful and wrongful act of Tenant Indemnitees. Further, the foregoing indemnity is subject to and shall not diminish any waivers in effect in accordance with Section 16.4 by Tenant or its insurers to the extent of amounts, if any, paid to Tenant under its “All-Risks” property insurance.

MORTGAGEE PROTECTION


 


23.1     SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT


 


This Lease is and shall be expressly subject and subordinate at all times to (i) any ground or underlying lease of the Real Property, now or hereafter existing, and all amendments, extensions, renewals and modifications to any such lease, and (ii) the lien of any mortgage or trust deed now or hereafter encumbering fee title to the Real Property and/or the leasehold estate under any such lease, and all amendments, extensions, renewals, replacements and modifications of such mortgage or trust deed and/or the obligation secured thereby, unless such ground lease or ground lessor, or mortgage, trust deed or Mortgagee, expressly provides or elects that the Lease shall be superior to such lease or mortgage or trust deed. If any such mortgage or trust deed is foreclosed (including any sale of the Real Property pursuant to a power of sale), or if any such ground or underlying lease is terminated, upon request of the Mortgagee or ground lessor, as the case may be, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale or to the ground lessor under such lease, as the case may be, provided, however, that such purchaser or ground lessor shall not be (i) bound by any payment of Rent for more than one month in advance except payments in the nature of security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease; (ii) subject to any offset, defense or damages arising out of a default of any obligations of any preceding Landlord except to the extent of defaults continuing after the date of such attornment; or (iii) bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease made without the written consent of the Mortgagee or ground lessor; or (iv) liable for any security deposits not actually received by such purchaser or ground lessor. The foregoing subordination as to any future deed of trust or ground lease is conditioned upon the Mortgagee or ground lessor providing Tenant with its standard subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement. Additionally, Tenant agrees to execute promptly any reasonable certificate or instrument that Landlord, Mortgagee or ground lessor may request in connection with any such subordination. Upon request by such successor in interest, Tenant shall execute and deliver reasonable instruments confirming the attornment provided for herein. The terms of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this Lease by reason of foreclosure.


 


Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant, as of the date of this Lease, that the Project is not currently encumbered by a ground or underlying lease or a mortgage or deed of trust.

23.2     MORTGAGEE PROTECTION


 


Tenant agrees to give any Mortgagee or ground lessor, by registered or certified mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon the Landlord by Tenant, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has received notice (by way of service on Tenant of a copy of an assignment of rents and leases, or otherwise) of the address of such Mortgagee or ground lessor. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then the Mortgagee or ground lessor shall have an additional thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof within which to cure such default or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional notice time as may be necessary, if, within such thirty (30) days, any Mortgagee or ground lessor has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including commencement of foreclosure proceedings or other proceedings to acquire possession of the Real Property, if necessary to effect such cure). Such period of time shall be extended by any period within which such Mortgagee or ground lessor is prevented from commencing or pursuing such foreclosure proceedings or other proceedings to acquire possession of the Real Property by reason of Landlord’s bankruptcy. Until the time allowed as aforesaid for Mortgagee or ground lessor to cure such defaults has expired without cure, Tenant shall have no right to, and shall not, terminate this Lease on account of default. This Lease may not be modified or amended so as to reduce the Rent or shorten the Term, or so as to adversely affect in any other respect to any material extent the rights of the Landlord, nor shall this Lease be canceled or surrendered, without the prior written consent, in each instance, of the ground lessor or the Mortgagee.


 


ARTICLE 24

(c)       Notices, demands or requests sent by mail or overnight courier service as described above shall be effective upon deposit in the mail or with such courier service. However, except with respect to a notice given under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 et seq., the time period in which a response to any such notice, demand or request must be given shall commence to run from (i) in the case of delivery by mail, the date of receipt on the return receipt of the notice, demand or request by the addressee thereof, or (ii) in the case of delivery by Federal Express or other overnight courier service, the date of acceptance of delivery by Landlord or Tenant.

ARTICLE 25


MISCELLANEOUS


 


25.1     LATE CHARGES


 


(a)       All payments required hereunder (other than the Monthly Base Rent, Rent Adjustments, and Rent Adjustment Deposits, which shall be due as hereinbefore provided) to Landlord shall be paid within ten (10) days after Landlord’s demand therefor. All such amounts (including Monthly Base Rent, Rent Adjustments, and Rent Adjustment Deposits) not paid within five (5) days after due shall bear interest from the date due until the date paid at the Default Rate in effect on the date such payment was due.


 


(b)       In the event Tenant is more than five (5) days late in paying any installment of Rent due under this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent installment of Rent. The parties agree that (i) such delinquency will cause Landlord to incur costs and expenses not contemplated herein, the exact amount of which will be difficult to calculate, including the cost and expense that will be incurred by Landlord in processing each delinquent payment of rent by Tenant, (b) the amount of such late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and that such late charge shall be paid to Landlord for each delinquent payment in addition to all Rent otherwise due hereunder. The parties further agree that the payment of late charges and the payment of interest provided for in subparagraph (a) above are distinct and separate from one another in that the payment of interest is to compensate Landlord for its inability to use the money improperly withheld by Tenant, while the payment of late charges is to compensate Landlord for its additional administrative expenses in handling and processing delinquent payments.


 


(c)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to notice and the expiration of a five (5) day cure period prior to a imposition of any late charge or interest charge under this Section 25.1 one (1) time per calendar year; after such written notice has been provided to Tenant in a calendar year, Tenant shall not be entitled to any further notice prior to imposition of a late charge or interest under this Section 25.1 in such calendar year.


 


(d)       Payment of interest at the Default Rate and/or of late charges shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease, nor shall the foregoing provisions of this Article or any such payments prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant’s failure to pay Rent when due, including the right to terminate this Lease.


 


25.2     NO JURY TRIAL; VENUE; JURISDICTION


 


To the fullest extent permitted by law, including laws enacted after the Commencement Date, each party hereto (which includes any assignee, successor, heir or personal representative of a party) shall not seek a jury trial, hereby waives trial by jury, and hereby further waives any objection to venue in the County in which the Project is located, and agrees and consents to personal jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California, in any action or proceeding or counterclaim brought by any party hereto against the other on any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, or any claim of injury or damage, or the enforcement of any remedy under any statute, emergency or otherwise, whether any of the foregoing is based on this Lease or on tort law. No party will seek to consolidate any such action in which a jury has been waived with any other action in which a jury trial cannot or has not been waived. It is the intention of the parties that these provisions shall be subject to no exceptions. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

Such statements shall be reviewed by an independent accountant and certified by Tenant’s president, chief executive officer or chief financial officer. Landlord shall only request such financial information in connection with a sale or financing or a proposed sale or refinancing of the Property, or any portion thereof, or during any period in which Tenant is in default, and Landlord shall treat any such financial information as confidential information and shall only disclose the same to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the foregoing purposes or as may be required by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no obligation to deliver any financial statements if Tenant is a publicly traded entity or an entity that is otherwise required to file financial statements with any governmental entity that are publicly available and Tenant is in compliance with such public reporting requirement.


 


25.5     OPTION


 


This Lease shall not become effective as a lease or otherwise until executed and delivered by both Landlord and Tenant. The submission of the Lease to Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option for the Premises, but when executed by Tenant and delivered to Landlord, the Lease shall constitute an irrevocable offer by Tenant in effect for fifteen (15) days to lease the Premises on the terms and conditions herein contained.
