INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

This INDEMNIFICATION
AGREEMENT (this “Agreement) is made this       
day of                       ,
2004, between THQ Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and (name) (the
“Indemnitee”).

 

WHEREAS, it is essential
to the Company and its stockholders to attract and retain qualified and capable
directors, officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries;

 

WHEREAS, the Certificate
of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) requires
the Company to indemnify and advance expenses to its directors and officers to
the extent not prohibited by law and allows the Company to indemnify employees
and agents; and

 

WHEREAS, in recognition
of Indemnitee’s need for protection against personal liability and in order to
induce Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve the Company in an effective
manner and to supplement or replace the Company’s Directors’ and Officers’
liability insurance coverage, if any, and in part to provide Indemnitee with
specific contractual assurance that the protection promised by the Certificate
of Incorporation will be available to Indemnitee, the Company wishes to provide
the Indemnitee with the benefits contemplated by this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             Definitions.  The following terms, as used herein, shall
have the following respective meaning:

 

An “Affiliate” of
a specified Person is a Person who directly, or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with,
the Person specified.

 

The term “Associate”
used to indicate a relationship with any Person shall mean:

 

(i)            any
corporation or organization (other than the Company or a Subsidiary) of which
such Person is an officer or partner or is, directly or indirectly, the
Beneficial Owner of ten (10) percent or more of any class of Equity Securities;

 

(ii)           any
trust or other estate in which such Person has a substantial beneficial
interest or as to which such Person serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary
capacity (other than an Employee Plan Trustee);

 

(iii)          any
Relative of such Person; or

 

(iv)          any
officer or director of any corporation controlling or controlled by such
Person.

 

“Beneficial Ownership”
shall be determined, and a Person shall be the “Beneficial Owner” of all
securities which such Person is deemed to own beneficially, pursuant to Rule
13d-3 of the General Rules and

 

THQ INC.

(NAME)

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

1

 

Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (or any successor rule or statutory provision), or, if such Rule
13d-3 shall be rescinded and there shall be no successor rule or statutory
provision thereto, pursuant to such Rule 13d-3 as in effect on the date hereof;
provided, however, that a Person shall, in any event, also be deemed to be the Beneficial
Owner of any Voting Shares:

 

(i)            of
which such Person or any of its Affiliates or Associates is, directly or
indirectly, the Beneficial Owner; or

 

(ii)           of
which such Person or any of its Affiliates or Associates has:  (A) the right to acquire (whether such right
is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time), pursuant to any
agreement, arrangement or understanding or upon the exercise of conversion
rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise; or (B) sole or
shared voting or investment power with respect thereto pursuant to any
agreement, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise (but shall not
be deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of any Voting Shares solely by reason of a
revocable proxy granted for a particular meeting of stockholders, pursuant to a
public solicitation of proxies for such meeting, with respect to shares of
which neither such Person nor any such Affiliate or Associate is otherwise
deemed the Beneficial Owner); or

 

(iii)          of
which any other Person is, directly or indirectly, the Beneficial Owner if such
first mentioned Person or any of its Affiliates or Associates acts with such
other Person as a partnership, syndicate or other group pursuant to any
agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding,
voting or disposing of any shares of capital stock of the Company; and provided
further, however, that: (A) no director or officer of the Company, nor any
Associate or Affiliate of any such director or officer, shall, solely by reason
of any or all of such directors and officers acting in their capacities as
such, be deemed for any purposes hereof, to be the Beneficial Owner of any
Voting Shares of which any other such director or officer (or any Associate or
Affiliate thereof) is the Beneficial Owner; and (B) no trustee of an employee
stock ownership or similar plan of the Company or any Subsidiary (“Employee
Plan Trustee”) or any Associate or Affiliate of any such Trustee, shall, solely
by reason of being an Employee Plan Trustee or Associate or Affiliate of an
Employee Plan Trustee, be deemed for any purposes hereof to be the Beneficial
Owner of any Voting Shares held by or under any such plan.

 

A “Change in Control”
shall be deemed to have occurred if:

 

(i)            any
Person (other than an Excepted Person) is or becomes, after the date of this
Agreement, the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the total voting power of the
Voting Shares;

 

(ii)           during
any period of two consecutive years (not including any period prior to the
execution of this Agreement), individuals who at the beginning of such period

 

2

 

constitute the Board of Directors of the Company and
any new director whose election or appointment by the Board of Directors or nomination
or recommendation for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a
vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who
either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or
nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to
constitute a majority thereof;

 

(iii)          the
stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company
with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result
in the Voting Shares of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted
into Voting Shares of the surviving entity) at least 80% of the total voting
power represented by the Voting Shares of the Company or such surviving entity
outstanding, or the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete
liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the
Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or

 

(iv)          a
change in control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response
to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14 (or a response to any
similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as in effect on the date hereof,
whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement.

 

“Claim” means any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute
resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or any other
proceeding brought by, against, or in the right of the Company or otherwise, or
any inquiry or investigation that Indemnitee in good faith believes might lead
to the institution of any such action, suit, arbitration or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other, or any appeal
therefrom.

means any valid directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy maintained
by the Company which covers members of the Company’s board of directors and

(i)            a

(ii)           if
such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, if a quorum of
disinterested directors so directs, by Independent Counsel in a written
opinion; or

 

(iii)          a
majority of the disinterested stockholders of the Company; or

 

(iv)          a
final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction; or

 

3

the event there has been a Change of Control, by Independent Counsel (in a
written opinion) selected by Indemnitee as set forth in Section 6.

Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as in effect
on the date hereof.

 

“Excepted Person”
is:

 

(i)            the
Company or any Subsidiary;

 

(ii)           any
pension, profit sharing, employee stock ownership or other employee benefit
plan of the Company or any Subsidiary or any trustee of or fiduciary with
respect to any such plan when acting in such capacity; or

 

(iii)          any
Person who is as of the date hereof the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the
total voting power of the Voting Shares.

 

“Excluded Claim”
means any payment for Losses or Expenses to the extent that any Claim:

 

(i)            is
based upon or attributable to Indemnitee gaining in fact any personal profit or
advantage to which Indemnitee is not entitled;

 

(ii)           is
for an accounting of profits in fact made from the purchase or sale by
Indemnitee of securities of the Company in violation of Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of any state
law;

 

(iii)          results
from Indemnitee’s willful or knowingly dishonest or fraudulent misconduct;

 

(iv)          is
one for which the payment of which by the Company under this Agreement is not permitted
by applicable law; or

 

(v)           is
one for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee

any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity
provision.

 

“Expenses” means
any and all reasonable expenses incurred by Indemnitee as a result of a Claim

as, a director, officer, employee, trustee, agent or fiduciary of the Company,
or is or was serving (or had agreed to serve) at the request of the Company as
a director, officer, employee, trustee, agent or fiduciary of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other
enterprise, or by reason of anything done or not done by Indemnitee in any such

retained to represent:  (i) the
Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party, or (ii) any
other party to the Claim giving rise to a claim for indemnification
hereunder.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who,
under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would
have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in
an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.  If a Change in Control has not occurred,
Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board, with the approval of
Indemnitee, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.  If a Change in Control has occurred (other

Board of Directors who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control,
in which case the sentence immediately preceding this sentence shall apply),
Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee, with the approval of the
Board, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

and daughters-in-law, and brothers- and sisters-in-law.

 

“Subsidiary” means
any corporation of which a majority of any class of Equity Security is owned,
directly or indirectly, by the Company.

 

“Voting Shares”
means any issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

 

2.             Basic Indemnification Agreement.  The Company agrees that in the event
Indemnitee is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is
threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, a Claim by
reason of (or arising in part out of) an Indemnifiable Event, the Company will
indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, against any and all
Losses and Expenses (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid
or payable in connection with or in respect of such Losses and

 

5

 

Expenses) in
respect of such Claim, whether or not such Claim proceeds to judgment or is
settled or otherwise is brought to a final disposition, subject in each case,
to the further provisions of this Agreement. 
To the extent that a change in the Delaware General Corporation Law
(whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification by
agreement than would be afforded currently under the Certificate of
Incorporation and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that
Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by
such change.

 

3.             Limitations on Indemnification.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2,
Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless from any Losses or
Expenses:

 

(a)   which
have been Determined, as provided herein, to constitute an Excluded Claim;

 

(b)   to
the extent Indemnitee is otherwise indemnified by the Company and has actually
received payment pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, D&O
Insurance or otherwise; or

 

(c)   other
than pursuant to the last sentence of Section 4(d) or Section 13 in
connection with any claim initiated by Indemnitee, unless the Company has
joined in or the Board of Directors has authorized such claim.

 

4.             Indemnification Procedures.

 

(a)   Promptly
after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of any Claim, Indemnitee shall, if
indemnification with respect thereto may be sought from the Company under this
Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof; provided, however,
that the failure to give such notice promptly shall not affect or limit the Company’s
obligations with respect to the matters described in the notice of such Claim,
except to the extent that the Company is prejudiced thereby.  Indemnitee agrees further not to make any
admission or effect any settlement with respect to such Claim without the
consent of the Company, except any Claim with respect to which the Indemnitee
has undertaken the defense in accordance with the second to last sentence of Section 4(d).

 

(b)   If,
at the time of the receipt of such notice, the Company has D&O Insurance in
effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of Claim to
the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective
policies.  The Company shall thereafter
take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf
of Indemnitee, all Losses and Expenses payable as a result of such Claim.

 

(c)   To
the extent the Company does not at the time of the Claim have applicable
D&O Insurance, or if a Determination is made that any Expenses arising out
of such Claim will not be payable under the D&O Insurance then in effect,
the Company shall be obligated to pay the Expenses of any Claim in advance of
the final disposition thereof and the Company, if appropriate, shall be
entitled to assume the defense of such Claim, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Indemnitee, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice
of its election so to do.  After delivery
of such notice, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this
Agreement for any legal or other Expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee
in connection with such defense other than reasonable Expenses of
investigation; provided  that Indemnitee shall have the right to
employ

 

6

 

counsel in such Claim
but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after delivery of notice
from the Company of its assumption of such defense shall be at the Indemnitee’s
expense; provided  further that if:  (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee
has been previously authorized by the Company, (ii) Indemnitee shall have
reasonably concluded that there is reasonably likely to be a conflict of
interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense,
or (iii) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the
defense of such action within a reasonable time following the Company’s receipt
of notice of such action, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed
by Indemnitee shall be at the expense of the Company.

 

(d)   All
payments on account of the Company’s indemnification obligations under this
Agreement shall be made within thirty (30) days of Indemnitee’s written request
therefor unless a Determination is made that the Claims giving rise to
Indemnitee’s request are Excluded Claims or are otherwise not payable under
this Agreement, provided  that all payments on account of the
Company’s obligation to pay Expenses under Section 4(c) of this Agreement
prior to the final disposition of any Claim shall be made within twenty (20)
days of Indemnitee’s written request therefor and such obligation shall not be
subject to any such Determination but shall be subject to Section 4(e) of
this Agreement.  In the event the Company
takes the position that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification in
connection with a proposed settlement of any Claim, Indemnitee shall have the
right at his own expense to undertake defense of any such Claim, insofar as
such proceeding involves Claims against the Indemnitee, by written notice given
to the Company within 10 days after the Company has notified Indemnitee in
writing of its contention that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification; provided,
however, that the failure to give such notice within such 10-day period
shall not affect or limit the Company’s obligations with respect to any such
Claim if such Claim is subsequently determined not to be an Excluded Claim or
otherwise to be payable under this Agreement, except to the extent that the
Company is prejudiced thereby.  If it is
subsequently determined in connection with such proceeding that the
Indemnifiable Events are not Excluded Claims and that Indemnitee, therefor, is
entitled to be indemnified under the provisions of Section 2 hereof, then
the Company shall promptly indemnify Indemnitee.

 

(e)   Indemnitee
hereby expressly undertakes and agrees to reimburse the Company for all Losses
and Expenses paid by the Company in connection with any Claim against
Indemnitee in the event and only to the extent that a Determination shall have
been made by a court of competent jurisdiction in a decision from which there
is no further right to appeal that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified
by the Company for such Losses and Expenses because the Claim is an Excluded
Claim or because Indemnitee is otherwise not entitled to payment under this
Agreement.

 

(f)    In
connection with any Determination as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be
indemnified hereunder the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish
that Indemnitee is not so entitled.

 

(g)   Indemnitee
shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making a Determination,
including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance
request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise
protected from disclosure and which is reasonably necessary to such
Determination.  Any costs or Expenses
(including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee
in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making a Determination
shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the Determination as to
Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company shall indemnify
and hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

 

7

 

(h)   If
the Company fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or
in the event that the Company or any other person takes any action to declare
this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any Proceeding to deny or
to recover from Indemnitee the benefits intended to be provided to Indemnitee
hereunder, Indemnitee shall have the right to retain counsel of Indemnitee’s
choice, subject to prior approval of the Company, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, at the expense of the Company (subject to Section 13),
to represent Indemnitee in connection with any such matter.

 

5.             Settlement. 
The Company shall have no obligation to indemnify Indemnitee under this
Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Claim effected without the
Company’s prior written consent.  If the
Company has assumed the defense of any Claim and the Indemnitee is not
participating in such defense with the Company, the Company shall not settle
any Claim in which it takes the position that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification in connection with such settlement without the consent of
Indemnitee, nor shall the Company settle any Claim in any manner which would
impose any Fine or any obligation on Indemnitee, without Indemnitee’s written
consent.  Neither the Company nor Indemnitee
shall unreasonably withhold its or his consent to any proposed settlement.

 

6.             Change in Control;
Extraordinary Transactions.

 

(a)   The
Company and Indemnitee agree that if there is a Change in Control of the
Company (other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a majority
of the Company’s Board of Directors who were directors immediately prior to
such Change in Control) then all Determinations thereafter with respect to the
rights of Indemnitee to be paid Losses and Expenses under this Agreement shall
be made only by Independent Counsel.  The
Company shall pay the reasonable fees of such Independent Counsel and shall
indemnify such Independent Counsel against any and all reasonable expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

 

(b)   The
Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by
purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a
substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, to:

 

(i)            expressly
assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had
taken place; or

 

(ii)           otherwise
adequately provide for the satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under this
Agreement, in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee.

 

7.             No Presumption.

 

(a)   For
purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order,
settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo  contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself,
create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of
conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that
indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.

 

8

 

(b)   The
knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or
employee of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Company shall
not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to
indemnification under this Agreement.

 

8.             Non-exclusivity, Etc.  The rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall be
in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Certificate of
Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws, the Delaware General Corporation Law, any
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action
in Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in any other capacity by
holding such office, and shall continue after Indemnitee ceases to serve the
Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, for so long as
Indemnitee shall be subject to any Claim by reason of (or arising in part out
of) an Indemnifiable Event.

 

9.             Liability Insurance.  To the extent the Company maintains an
insurance policy or policies providing directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies, in
accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage
available for any director or officer of the Company.

 

10.           Subrogation.  In the event of payment under this Agreement,
the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the
rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and
shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the
execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to
bring suit to enforce such rights.

 

11.           Partial Indemnity, Etc.  If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision
of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of
the Losses and Expenses of a Claim but not, however, for all of the total
amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the
portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.  Moreover, notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any or all Claims relating in whole or in
part to any Indemnifiable Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein,
including dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against
all Expenses incurred in connection therewith.

 

12.           Liability of Company.  Indemnitee agrees that neither the
stockholders nor the directors nor any officer, employee, representative or
agent of the Company shall be personally liable for the satisfaction of the
Company’s obligations under this Agreement and Indemnitee shall look solely to
the assets of the Company for satisfaction of any claims hereunder.

 

13.           Enforcement.

 

(a)   Indemnitee’s
right to indemnification and other rights under this Agreement shall be
enforceable by Indemnitee pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth in
this Section 13 and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any adverse
Determination by the Company’s Board of Directors, independent legal counsel,
or the Company’s stockholders, and no such Determination shall create a
presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder.  In any such action the Company shall have the
burden of proving that indemnification is not required under this Agreement.

 

9

 

(b)   In
the event that any action is instituted by Indemnitee under this Agreement, or
to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be
entitled to be paid all costs and reasonable expenses, including reasonable
counsel fees, incurred by Indemnitee with respect to such action, unless the
Arbitrator determines that the material assertions made by Indemnitee as a
basis for such action were not made in good faith or had no reasonable basis.

 

(c)   In
the event of any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or related to
this Agreement the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an attempt to reach
a mutually acceptable settlement of such dispute.  If negotiations in good faith do not result
in a settlement of any such controversy, dispute or claim, it shall be finally
settled by expedited arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association, subject to the following:

 

(i)            The
Arbitrator shall be determined from a list of names of five impartial
arbitrators each of whom shall be an attorney experienced in arbitration
matters concerning director and executive indemnification agreement disputes,
supplied by the American Arbitration Association (the “Association”) and chosen
by Indemnitee and the Company each in turn striking a name from the list until
one name remains.

 

(ii)           The
Arbitrator shall determine whether and to what extent any party shall be
entitled to damages under this Agreement.

 

(iii)          The
Arbitrator shall not have the power to add to nor modify any of the terms or
conditions of the this Agreement.  The
Arbitrator’s decision shall not go beyond what is necessary for the
interpretation and application of the provision of this Agreement in respect of
the issue before the Arbitrator.  The
Arbitrator shall not substitute his or her judgment for that of the parties in
the exercise of rights granted or retained by this Agreement.  The Arbitrator’s award or other permitted
remedy, if any, and the decision shall be based upon the issue as drafted and
submitted by the respective parties and the relevant and competent evidence
adduced at the hearing.

 

(iv)          The
Arbitrator shall have the authority to award any remedy or relief provided for
in this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy or relief (including
provisional remedies and relief) that a court of competent jurisdiction could
order or grant.  In addition, the
Arbitrator shall have the authority to decide issues relating to the
interpretation, meaning or performance of this Agreement even if such decision
would constitute an advisory opinion in a court proceeding or if the issues
would otherwise not be ripe for resolution in a court proceeding, and any such
decision shall bind the parties in their continuing performance of this
Agreement.  The Arbitrator’s written
decision shall be rendered within sixty days of the hearing.  The decision reached by the Arbitrator shall
be final and binding upon the parties as to the matter in dispute.  To the extent that the relief or remedy
granted by the Arbitrator is relief or remedy on which a court could enter
judgment, a judgment upon the award rendered by the Arbitrator shall be entered
in any court having jurisdiction thereof (unless in the case of an award of
damages, the full amount of the award is paid within 10 days of its
determination by the

 

10

 

Arbitrator). 
Otherwise, the award shall be binding on the parties in connection with
their continuing performance of this Agreement and in any subsequent arbitral
or judicial proceedings between the parties.

 

(v)           The
arbitration shall take place in Los Angeles, California.

 

(vi)          The
arbitration proceeding and all filings, testimony, documents and information
relating to or presented during the arbitration proceeding shall be disclosed
exclusively for the purpose of facilitating the arbitration process and for no
other purpose and shall be deemed to be information subject to the
confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

 

(vii)         The
parties shall continue performing their respective obligations under this
Agreement notwithstanding the existence of a dispute while the dispute is being
resolved unless and until such obligations are terminated or expire in
accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

(viii)        The
Arbitrator may order a pre-hearing exchange of information including
depositions, interrogatories, production of documents, exchange of summaries of
testimony or exchange of statements of position, and the Arbitrator shall limit
such disclosure to avoid unnecessary burden to the parties and shall schedule promptly
all discovery and other procedural steps and otherwise assume case management
initiative and control to effect an efficient and expeditious resolution of the
dispute.  At any oral hearing of evidence
in connection with an arbitration proceeding, each party and its counsel shall
have the right to examine its witness and to cross-examine the witnesses of the
other party.  No testimony of any witness
shall be presented in written form unless the opposing party or parties shall
have the opportunity to cross-examine such witness, except as the parties
otherwise agree in writing.

 

(ix)           The
Company shall be precluded from asserting in any arbitration commenced pursuant
to this Section 13 that the obligations, procedures and presumptions of
this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate
before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of
this Agreement.

 

(d)   Notwithstanding
the dispute resolution procedures contained in this Section 13, either
party may apply to any court in the state or Federal courts of the States of
Delaware or California:  (i) to enforce
this Agreement to arbitrate; (ii) to seek provisional injunctive relief so as
to maintain the status quo until the arbitration award is rendered or the
dispute is otherwise resolved; or (iii) to challenge or vacate any final
judgment, award or decision of the Arbitrator that does not comport with the
express provisions of this Section 13.

 

14.           Severability.  In the event that any provision of this
Agreement is determined by a court to require the Company to do or to fail to
do an act which is in violation of applicable law, such provision (including
any provision within a single section, paragraph or sentence) shall be limited
or modified in its application to the minimum extent necessary to avoid a
violation of law, and, as so limited or modified, such

 

11

 

provision and the
balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with their terms
to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

15.           Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to
agreements made and to be performed entirely within such State.

 

16.           Consent to Jurisdiction.  The Company and Indemnitee each hereby
irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the States of
Delaware and California for all purposes in connection with any action or
proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agrees that any
action instituted under this Agreement shall be brought only in the state and
Federal courts of the States of Delaware and California.

 

17.           Notices. 
All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder
shall be sufficiently given for all purposes if in writing and personally
delivered, telegraphed, telexed, sent by facsimile transmission or sent by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with postage prepaid
addressed as follows, or to such other address as the parties shall have given
notice of pursuant hereto:

Telecopy #:
                                     

 

18.           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be signed in counterparts,
each of which shall be an original and all of which, when taken together, shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

 

19.           Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be (i) binding upon all
successors and assigns of the Company, including any direct or indirect
successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, and (ii)
binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors and assigns, heirs, and
personal or legal representatives of Indemnitee.

 

20.           Amendment; Waiver.  No amendment, modification, termination or
cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in a writing
signed by each of the parties hereto.  No
waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall
constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor
shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

 

12

 

21.           Contribution.  If the indemnification or reimbursement
provided for hereunder is finally determined in accordance with Section 13
to be unavailable to Indemnitee in respect of any Losses or Expenses of a Claim
(other than for any reason specified in Section 3 hereof), then the
Company agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in lieu of
indemnifying Indemnitee, to contribute to the amount paid or payable by
Indemnitee as a result of such Losses or Expenses in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits accruing to the Company and
Indemnitee with respect to the events giving rise to such Losses or
Expenses.  If, however, the allocation
provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable
law, then the Company agrees to contribute to the amount paid or payable by
Indemnitee as a result of such Losses or Expenses in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative
fault of the Company and of Indemnitee with respect to the events giving rise
to such Losses or Expense.

PREMISES, BUILDING, PROJECT, AND
COMMON AREAS;

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER; EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS

 

1.1                                 Premises, Building, Project
and Common Areas.

 

1.1.1                        The Premises.  Landlord hereby leases to
Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises set forth in Section 2.2
of the Summary (the “Premises”).  The outline of the Premises is set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and the Premises
has the number of rentable square feet as set forth in Section 2.2
of the Summary (which shall not be subject to re-measurement or modification).  The parties hereto agree that the lease of
the Premises is upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein
set forth, and Landlord and Tenant covenant as a material part of the
consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of such terms,
covenants and conditions by each party to be kept and performed and that this
Lease is made upon the condition of such performance.  The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that
the purpose of Exhibit A
is to show the approximate layout of the Premises, and such Exhibit is not
meant to constitute a representation or warranty as to the exact dimensions of
the Premises.  Except as specifically set
forth in this Lease and in the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Tenant Work Letter”), Landlord shall not be
obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services related to the
improvement of the Premises.  Tenant also
acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any
representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises, the
Building or the Project or with respect to the suitability of any of the
foregoing for the conduct of Tenant’s business, except as specifically set
forth in this Lease and the Tenant Work Letter.

 

1.1.2                        The Building and The Project.  The
Premises consist of the entire building set forth in Section 2.1 of
the Summary (the “Building”).  The Building is part of an office project
consisting of approximately 12 acres. 
The term “Project,” as used
in this Lease, shall mean (i) the Building and the Common Areas, (ii) the
office building located at 29901 Agoura Road (the
“29901 Building”), (iii) the land
upon which the Building, the Adjacent Building and the Common Areas are
located, and (iv) at Landlord’s discretion, any additional real property,
areas, land, buildings or other improvements added thereto outside of the
Project, but only if such additional real property, areas, land, buildings or
other improvements are contiguous to the Project.

 

1.1.3                        Common Areas.  Tenant shall have the
non-exclusive right to use in common with other tenants in the Project, and
subject to the rules and regulations referred to in Article 5 of
this Lease, those portions of the Project which are provided, from time to
time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the
Project (such areas, together with such other portions of the Project
designated by Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, are collectively referred
to herein as the “Common Areas”).  The manner in which the Common Areas are
maintained and operated shall be as set forth in Section 6.1.6 of
this Lease and the use thereof shall be subject to such reasonable rules,
regulations and restrictions as Landlord may make from time to time (the “Rules and Regulations”).  The Rules and Regulations of the Project,
attached to and made a part of the Lease as Exhibit D, shall not be changed or revised or enforced in
any unreasonable way by Landlord, nor enforced or changed by Landlord in such a
way as to substantially interfere with Tenant’s use of or access to the
Premises.  In the event of any conflict
between this Lease and the Rules and Regulations, this Lease shall prevail and
control and the inconsistent provisions of the Rules and Regulations shall not
be applicable to Tenant.  Except when and
where Tenant’s right of access is specifically excluded as the result of
(i) an emergency, (ii) a requirement by “Applicable Laws,” as that
term is defined in Article 24 of this Lease, or (iii) a
specific provision set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right of
access to the Premises, the Building, and the Project parking facility
twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week during the “Lease
Term,” as that term is defined in Section 2.1 of this Lease.

 

1.1.4                        Landlord Modification of the Project. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 1.1.3,
the Rules and Regulations or elsewhere in the Lease, Landlord shall not modify
the Common Areas or any other portion of the Project in such a manner which
shall (i) materially diminish the amount of visitor parking available to
the Building for any sustained period; or (ii) unreasonably obstruct or
interfere with the accessibility of the Premises, the Building or the parking
areas, the visibility of Tenant’s signage, or Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the
Premises, the Building or the parking areas.

 

1.2                                 Right of First Offer. 
Landlord hereby grants to the Tenant originally named in this Lease (the
“Original Tenant”) and its
Affiliates and Permitted Assignees (as hereinafter defined) an ongoing right of
first offer with respect all of the space in the 29901 Building and any other
building developed by Landlord at the Project (“First Offer Space”). 
Notwithstanding the foregoing (i) such first offer right of Tenant
shall commence only following the expiration or earlier termination of any
existing lease pertaining to the First Offer Space (the “Superior Leases”), including any renewal or
extension of such existing lease; and (ii) such first offer right shall be
subordinate and secondary to all rights of expansion, first refusal, first
offer or similar rights in existence as of the date of this Lease to
(A) the tenants of the Superior Leases and (B) any other tenant of
the Project (the rights described in items (i) and (ii), above to be known
collectively as “Superior Rights”).  Landlord hereby represents to Tenant that the
only holder of Superior Rights is: Line 6, Inc. (the current tenant in the
29901 Building), whose lease expires in April, 2006, with one option to extend
the lease term for an additional five (5) years.  Tenant’s right of first offer shall be on the
terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.2.

 

1.2.1                        Procedure for Offer. 
Landlord shall notify Tenant (the “First
Offer Notice”) from time to time when Landlord determines that
Landlord shall commence the marketing of any First Offer Space because such
space shall become available for lease to third parties, where no holder of a
Superior Right desires to lease such space. 
The First Offer Notice shall describe the space so offered to Tenant and
shall set forth Landlord’s proposed economic terms and conditions applicable to
Tenant’s lease of such space (collectively, the “Economic Terms”),

 

3

 

including
the proposed term of lease, the proposed rent payable for the First Offer Space
and the proposed improvement allowances (if any).  In the event that the First Offer Space
consists of a proposed new building on the Property, the First Offer Notice shall
include Landlord’s development plans for the new building, a construction
schedule, site plans, space plans and rental rates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term
of Tenant’s lease of the First Offer Space shall be co-terminous with the term
of Tenant’s lease of the original Premises. 
 Landlord’s obligation to deliver the First Offer Notice shall
apply during the last twenty-four (24) months of the initial Term provided that
if Tenant desires to exercise its first offer right during the last twenty-four
(24) months of the initial Term, Tenant shall concurrently deliver to Landlord
the “Option Exercise Notice,” as defined in Section 2.2.3 below.
 Landlord’s obligation to deliver the First Offer Notice shall not apply
during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term if Tenant fails to deliver
the Option Exercise Notice; and Landlord’s obligation to deliver the First
Offer Notice shall not apply during the last twenty-four (24) months of the “Option
Term”.

 

1.2.2                        Procedure for Acceptance.  If
Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant’s right of first offer with respect to the
space described in the First Offer Notice, then within fifteen (15) calendar
days after delivery of the First Offer Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver
notice to Landlord of Tenant’s exercise of its right of first offer with
respect to the space described in the First Offer Notice, in which case the
Economic Terms shall be as set forth in the First Offer Notice.  If Tenant does not exercise its right of
first offer within the fifteen (15) day period, then Landlord shall be free to
lease the space described in the First Offer Notice to anyone to whom Landlord
desires; provided, however, that if Landlord intends to enter into a lease for
materially less space, or upon Economic Terms which are “more favorable” (as
defined below) to a third (3rd) party tenant than those Economic Terms proposed
by Landlord in the First Offer Notice, Landlord shall first deliver written
notice to Tenant (“Second Chance Notice”)
providing Tenant with the opportunity to lease such reduced space, or such
First Offer Space on such more favorable Economic Terms as applicable.  For purposes of this Section 1.2,
“more favorable” shall be defined
as a lease whose net effective rental rate, taking into consideration all
concessions, is at least 5% lower than the net effective rental rate specified
in the First Offer Notice.  Tenant’s
failure to elect to lease the First Offer Space upon such more favorable
Economic Terms by written notice to Landlord within seven (7) calendar days
after Tenant’s receipt of such Second Chance Notice from Landlord shall be
deemed to constitute Tenant’s election not to lease such space upon such more
favorable Economic Terms, in which case Landlord shall be entitled to lease
such space to any third (3rd) party on terms no more favorable to the third
(3rd) party than those set forth in the Second Chance Notice.  If Landlord does lease such First Offer Space
to a third (3rd) party tenant pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.2,
such lease and the rights therein shall be Superior Rights.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, Tenant must elect to exercise its right of first offer, if at
all, with respect to all of the space offered by Landlord to Tenant at any
particular time, and Tenant may not elect to lease only a portion thereof,
except that if the First Offer Space consists of more than one (1) full floor
of office space, Tenant may elect to lease one (1) or more full floors of the
First Offer Space provided that (i) if Tenant elects to lease more than one
floor, they must be contiguous, and (ii) Tenant pays 100% of the reasonable
costs incurred by Landlord to convert the building containing the First Offer
Space to a multi-tenant building, including without limitation, costs of
modifying the Building and Building systems and equipment, and adding utility
meters.

 

1.2.3                        Lease of First Offer Space.  If
Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s right to lease the First Offer Space as set
forth herein, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment adding such First
Offer Space to this Lease upon the same non-economic terms and conditions as
applicable to the initial Premises, and the economic terms and conditions as
provided in this Section 1.2.  
The usable square footage of the First Offer Space shall be measured in
accordance with the “BOMA Standard” (as defined in Section 1.5
below) and the rentable square footage shall be reasonably determined by
Landlord.

 

1.2.4                        No Defaults.  The rights contained in this Section 1.2
shall be personal to the Original Tenant and its Affiliates and Permitted
Assignees and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant and its Affiliates
and Permitted Assignees (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other
transferee of the Original Tenant’s interest in this Lease) if Tenant occupies
at least seventy percent (70%) of the Premises as of the date of the First
Offer Notice.  Tenant shall not have the
right to lease First Offer Space as provided in this Section 1.2
if, as of the date of the First Offer Notice, or, at Landlord’s option, as of
the scheduled date of delivery of such First Offer Space to Tenant, (i) Tenant
is in default under this Lease after expiration of any applicable cure period;
or (ii) Landlord (or an affiliate) no longer owns the building containing the
applicable portion of the First Offer Space.

 

1.3                                 Exterior Improvements to the
Building.  Landlord shall, at Landlord’s cost (subject
to the remaining terms of this Section 1.3) perform the improvements to
the exterior of the Building (the “Exterior
Improvements”) specified on that certain letter dated December 16,
2004 to Douglas Jacobsen from Brian Poliquin of Poliquin Kellogg Design Group
(the “Approved Letter”) as set
forth on Exhibit J-1  attached
hereto and exterior rendering as set forth on Exhibit J-2 attached hereto, except for the following: (a)
the entry walls shall be deleted and seven (7) skylights shall be added; (b)
the rear corner modifications (which are shown on Exhibit J-3 attached hereto and are estimated to add
$69,000 to the cost of the Exterior Improvements) may need to be deleted; and
(c) even after possible savings from value engineering, additional deletions or
cost-saving revisions (the “Cost Saving
Revisions”) may be necessary in order to reduce the estimated cost
of the Exterior Improvements from the current estimate of $1,250,000 -
$1,325,000 (based on the Approved Letter) to the $1,200,000 amount agreed upon
as the cumulative cost to be borne by Landlord and Tenant.  Landlord may present Cost Saving Revisions to
Tenant and Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent
thereto.    Landlord shall obtain a
guaranteed maximum price contract for the Exterior Improvements based on the
Approved Letter that will not exceed $1,200,000.  Landlord shall bid the Exterior Improvement
work to three (3) qualified subcontractors for each major trade on an “open
book” basis, shall use its reasonable efforts to utilize the low bidder for
each trade, and shall provide Tenant with documentation thereof upon
request.  Tenant shall have the right to
request changes to the Exterior Improvements (which changes shall be subject to
Landlord’s approval), provided that any such changes shall be considered a “Tenant
Delay” to the extent so provided pursuant to the terms of Section 5.2 of
the Tenant Work Letter.  To the extent
that the total cost of the Exterior Improvements exceeds $1,000,000 (the “Excess Cost”), then

 

4

 

Tenant
shall be responsible for payment of such Excess Cost to Landlord within thirty
(30) days after receipt of written invoice, but Tenant shall not be responsible
for Excess Costs in excess of $1,200,000 except to the extent that the cost of
the Exterior Improvements exceeds $1,200,000 due to changes requested by
Tenant. To the extent that the total cost of the Exterior Improvements is less
than $1,000,000 (the “Exterior Improvements
Underage”), then Tenant shall be entitled to an increase in the “Improvement
Allowance” (as that term is defined in Section 2.1 of the Tenant Work
Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B)
in the amount of the Exterior Improvements Underage.

 

1.4                                 Exterior Common Areas. 
Landlord shall use its good faith, commercially reasonable efforts, at
Landlord’s sole cost and expense, to cause the common areas of the Project to
be further improved by the addition of an outdoor landscaped recreational area
including outdoor, shaded eating areas, and recreation areas (the “New Outdoor
Areas”).  Such new Outdoor Areas shall be
common areas, available for use by Tenant and its employees and visitors, and
by other tenants of the Project. 
Landlord shall keep Tenant reasonably apprised of Landlord’s efforts to
construct the New Outdoor Areas. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be in breach of this
Lease, and Tenant shall not have the right to abate any Rent due hereunder, if
Landlord does not cause the New Outdoor Areas to be built or if the New Outdoor
Areas deviate from the description above.

 

1.5                                 Verification of Rentable
Square Feet of Premises.  The rentable and usable area of the Premises
shall be determined in accordance with the standards set forth in ANSI
Z65.1-1996, as promulgated by the Building Owners and Managers Association (the
“BOMA Standard”).  Landlord and Tenant shall each have the
right, upon notice (the “Remeasurement Notice”)
delivered to the other party within sixty (60) days following the Lease
Commencement Date, to remeasure the usable square footage of the Premises in
accordance with the BOMA Standard.  In
the event that such remeasurement indicates that the usable square footage
measurement set forth in this Lease is in excess of or lower than the usable
square footage number which would have resulted had the BOMA Standard been
properly utilized, any payments due either party (or other rights between
Landlord and Tenant) based upon the amount of rentable and usable square feet
contained in the Premises (including, without limitation, the Base Rent, Tenant’s
Share, the Security Deposit amount, and the Improvement Allowance), shall be
proportionally, retroactively and prospectively reduced or increased, as
appropriate, to reflect the actual number of rentable and usable square feet as
properly derived from the remeasured usable square footage under the BOMA Standard.  If either party disagrees with the other
party’s remeasurement and if a dispute occurs regarding the final accuracy of
the usable square footage measurement of the Premises in accordance with the
BOMA Standard, such dispute will be conclusively resolved by an architect
selected by Landlord and approved by Tenant, in Tenant’s reasonable
discretion.  In the event that a
Remeasurement Notice is not timely delivered in accordance with the terms of
this Section 1.5, the square footage of the Premises shall not be
subject to remeasurement, and the rentable square footage set forth in Section 2.2
of the Summary above shall be binding and conclusive.

 

1.6                                 Recordation of Memorandum of
Lease.  Concurrently with the mutual execution of
this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and acknowledge a Memorandum of
Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
G-1 for recordation against the Building and Tenant and Landlord’s
affiliate that owns the adjacent parcel that comprises the portion of the
Project on which the 29901 Building is located (the “29901 Parcel”) shall execute and acknowledge a Memorandum of
Lease also in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
G-2 for recordation against the adjacent parcel (each, a “Memo of Lease”).  Within five (5) business days following the
date of full execution and delivery of this Lease, Landlord shall cause each
Memo of Lease to be appropriately recorded with the Los Angeles County Recorder’s
Office and shall provide Tenant with reasonable evidence thereof.   Upon a sale of the 29901 Parcel, Tenant
shall, upon request of Landlord, execute a termination of the Memo of Lease for
the 29901 Parcel provided that Landlord provides Tenant with alternate
assurance (such as an easement agreement or similar undertaking from the buyer)
that such Buyer will not interfere with Tenant’s rights with respect to the
29901 Parcel.

 

ARTICLE 2

 

LEASE TERM; OPTION TERM

 

2.1                                 In General.  The
terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of this
Lease.  The term of this Lease (the “Lease Term”) shall be as set forth in Section 3.1
of the Summary.  The term of Tenant’s
lease of the Premises shall commence on the date set forth in Section 3.2
of the Summary (the “Lease Commencement Date”),
and shall terminate on the date set forth in Section 3.3 of the
Summary (the “Lease Expiration Date”),
unless this Lease is sooner terminated or extended as hereinafter
provided.  For purposes of this Lease,
the term “Lease Year” shall mean
each consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term, provided that
the last Lease Year shall end on the Lease Expiration Date.  At any time during the first six (6) months
of the Lease Term, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a notice in the form as set
forth in Exhibit C,
attached hereto, as a confirmation only of the information set forth therein,
which, provided the same is factually accurate, Tenant shall execute and return
to Landlord within ten (10) business days of receipt thereof.

 

2.2                                 Option Term.

 

2.2.1                        Option Right.  Landlord hereby grants the
Original Tenant, its Affiliates or an assignee permitted or approved pursuant
to the terms of Article 14 of this Lease (a “Permitted Assignee”), as the case may be, one (1) option to
extend the Lease Term (the “Option”)
for a period of five (5) years (the “Option
Term”), which Option shall be exercisable only by written notice
delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided below, provided that, as of the
date of delivery of such notice, Tenant is not in default under this Lease
following the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period.  Upon the proper exercise of such Option, the
Lease Term, as it applies to the Premises, shall be extended for a period of
five (5) years.  The rights contained in
this Section 2.2 shall be personal to the Original Tenant, its
Affiliates or a Permitted Assignee (and not any other assignee, or any
sublessee or other transferee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease).

 

5

 

2.2.2                        Option Rent.  The Rent payable by Tenant
during the Option Term (the “Option Rent”)
shall be equal to the “Fair Market Rent Rate;” provided, however, in no event
shall the monthly Base Rent for the first year of the Option Term be less than
the monthly Base Rent payable during the 4th Lease Year.  The “Fair
Market Rent Rate” shall be equal to the rent (including additional
rent and considering any “base year” or “expense stop” applicable thereto),
including all escalations, at which tenants, as of the commencement of the
Option Term are, pursuant to transactions completed within the fifteen (15)
month period prior to the commencement date of the Option Term, leasing
non-sublease, non-encumbered, non-equity, non-renewal, non-expansion space
reasonably comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises for a similar
lease term, in an arms length transaction, which comparable space is located in
“Comparable Buildings,” as that term is defined below (“Comparable Transactions”), in either case
taking into consideration the following concessions (“Concessions”): (a) rental abatement
concessions, if any, being granted such tenants in connection with such
comparable space, (b) tenant improvements or allowances provided or to be
provided for such comparable space, taking into account, and deducting the
value of, the existing improvements in the Premises, such value to be based
upon the age, design, quality of finishes, and layout of the improvements (but
not existing improvements which were paid for by Tenant in excess of the
Improvement Allowance), (c) parking rights and charges being provided for
tenants in connection with such comparable space, and (d) all other monetary
and non-monetary concessions, if any, being granted such tenants in connection
with such comparable space.  For purposes
of this Lease, “Comparable Buildings”
shall mean buildings of comparable age, quality of construction, appearance and
quality of common area improvements located in Calabasas, Westlake and Agoura
Hills, California.  The Base Year for the
Option Term shall be the calendar year that contains the first day of the
Option Term.  In the determination of the
Option Rent, if Concessions are granted to Tenant, Landlord may, at Landlord’s
sole option, elect any or a portion of the following:  (1) to grant the Concessions to Tenant in the
form as described above (i.e., as free rent or as an improvement or other
allowance), or (2) in the event the value of the Concessions exceeds $5.00 per
rentable square foot of the Premises, to grant only the first $5.00 per
rentable square foot in the manner as set forth in item (1), and to adjust the
rental rate component of the Option Rent to be an effective rental rate which
takes into consideration the total dollar value of such Concessions in excess
of $5.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises (in which case the
Concessions in excess of $5.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises
evidenced in the effective rental rate shall not be granted to Tenant).  The Fair Market Rent Rate shall additionally
include a determination, based upon the financial condition of Tenant at the
time such determination is made, as to whether, and if so to what extent,
Tenant must provide Landlord with financial security, such as a letter of
credit or guaranty, for Tenant’s Rent obligations during the Option Term.  Such determination shall be made by reviewing
the extent of financial security then generally being imposed in Comparable
Transactions from tenants of comparable financial condition and credit history
to the then existing financial condition and credit history of Tenant (with
appropriate adjustments to account for differences in the then-existing
financial condition of Tenant and such other tenants).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall
not be required to provide additional financial security if Tenant’s financial
condition at the time of exercise of the Option is comparable to its financial
condition as of the date hereof.

 

2.2.3                        Exercise of Option.  The
Option contained in this Section 2.2 shall be exercised by Tenant,
if at all, only in the following manner:  (i) Tenant shall deliver written notice (the “Interest Notice”) to Landlord not more than
twenty-four (24) months nor less than twelve (12) months prior to the
expiration of the initial Lease Term, stating that Tenant may be interested in
exercising its Option; (ii) Landlord, after receipt of Tenant’s notice, shall
deliver notice (the “Option Rent Notice”)
to Tenant not less than ten (10) months prior to the expiration of the initial
Lease Term, setting forth the Option Rent; and (iii) if Tenant wishes to exercise
such Option, Tenant shall, on or before the date occurring nine (9) months
prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term, exercise the Option by
delivering written notice (the “Option
Exercise Notice”) thereof to Landlord, and upon, and concurrent
with, such exercise, Tenant may, at its option, object to the Option Rent
contained in the Option Rent Notice, in which case the parties shall follow the
procedure, and the Option Rent for the Option Term shall be determined, as set
forth in Section 2.2.4 below. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant shall fail to
deliver the Interest Notice, Tenant shall nonetheless have the right to deliver
the Option Exercise Notice within the time period set forth above, in which
case the parties shall follow the procedure, and the Option Rent shall be
determined, as set forth in Section 2.2.4, below.

 

2.2.4                        Determination of Option Rent.  In
the event Tenant timely and appropriately objects to Landlord’s determination
of the Option Rent, or Tenant delivers the Option Exercise Notice without
having delivered the Interest Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to
agree upon the same using their best good-faith efforts.  If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement
within ten (10) business days following Tenant’s objection to the Option Rent,
or the delivery of the Option Exercise Notice if no Interest Notice was
delivered (in either event, the “Outside
Agreement Date”), then each party shall submit its determination of
the Option Rent, within five (5) business days, 
to arbitration in accordance with Sections 2.2.4.1 through 2.2.4.7
below.

 

2.2.4.1               Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one
arbitrator who shall by profession be a commercial real estate broker who shall
have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such
appointment in the appraisal of commercial properties in the vicinity of the
Building.  The determination of the
arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue area of whether Landlord’s or
Tenant’s submitted Option Rent for the Option Term is the closest to the actual
Option Rent for the Option Term, as determined by the arbitrators, taking into
account the requirements of Section 2.2.2 of this Lease.  Each such arbitrator shall be appointed
within fifteen (15) days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date.

 

2.2.4.2               The two arbitrators so appointed shall within
ten (10) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator
agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same
criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two
arbitrators.

 

6

 

2.2.4.3               The three arbitrators shall within thirty
(30) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator reach a decision as to
whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Option Rent for
the Option Term, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof.

 

2.2.4.4               The decision of the majority of the three (3)
arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

 

2.2.4.5               If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint
an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the applicable Outside Agreement
Date, the arbitrator appointed by one of them shall reach a decision, notify
Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such arbitrator’s decision shall be binding
upon Landlord and Tenant.

 

2.2.4.6               If the two arbitrators fail to agree upon and
appoint a third arbitrator, or both parties fail to appoint an arbitrator, then
the appointment of the third arbitrator or any arbitrator shall be dismissed
and the matter to be decided shall be forthwith submitted to binding, final,
non-applicable arbitration before a J.A.M.S. arbitrator mutually agreed upon by
Landlord and Tenant.  If Landlord and
Tenant cannot agree on the arbitrator, the parties will so inform J.A.M.S., who
will then be authorized to select a J.A.M.S. judge to arbitrate the
matter.  Each party shall have the right
of discovery pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure and evidentiary
hearings shall be governed by the California Evidence Code, but subject to the
instruction set forth in this Section 2.2.4.

 

2.2.4.7               The cost of arbitration shall be paid by
Landlord and Tenant equally.

 

2.3                                 Occurrence of Lease
Commencement Date.  In the event that Landlord has failed to
cause the Lease Commencement Date to have occurred on or before September 1,
2005 (the “First Outside Date”)
and Tenant is not reasonably able to avoid paying a holdover penalty under its
current lease, then Landlord shall be responsible for paying fifty percent
(50%) of such holdover penalty accruing after September 1, 2005, provided
that Landlord’s contribution shall not exceed $1,000 per day (Landlord’s
collective contribution shall be referred to as “Landlord’s Holdover Contribution”).  The First Outside Date shall be subject to
extension to the extent of any “Tenant Delay” (as defined in Section 5.2
of the Tenant Work Letter) and/or any delay caused by Force Majeure.  In the event that Landlord has failed to
cause the Lease Commencement Date to have occurred on or before January 1,
2006 (the “Second Outside Date”),
Tenant shall have the right, exercisable by delivery of written notice to
Landlord within ten (10) days after the Second Outside Date, to terminate this
Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord of such termination.  The Second Outside Date shall be subject to
extension to the extent of any Tenant Delay and/or any delay caused by Force
Majeure (not to exceed 3 months for Force Majeure).  If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease
pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.3, then Tenant shall repay
to Landlord Landlord’s Holdover Contribution on the date that Tenant delivers
the termination notice to Landlord.  The
remedies of Tenant provided for in this Section 2.3 shall be Tenant’s
sole and exclusive remedies for Landlord’s failure to timely cause the Lease
Commencement Date to occur and Tenant hereby waives any and all other remedies,
recourse, claims or causes of action, under this Lease, at law or in equity,
for such failure to timely perform by Landlord. 

 

ARTICLE 3

 

BASE RENT

 

3.1                                 In General. 
Tenant shall pay, without prior notice or demand, to Landlord or
Landlord’s agent at the management office of the Project, or, at Landlord’s
option, at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in
writing, by a check for currency which, at the time of payment, is legal tender
for private or public debts in the United States of America, base rent (“Base Rent”) as set forth in Section 4
of the Summary, payable in equal monthly installments as set forth in Section 4
of the Summary in advance on or before the first day of each and every calendar
month during the Lease Term, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever, except
as set forth in this Lease.  The Base
Rent for the first full month of the Lease Term which occurs after the
expiration of any free rent period shall be paid at the time of Tenant’s
execution of this Lease.  If any “Rent,”
as that term is defined in Section 4.1, below, payment date (including the
Lease Commencement Date) falls on a day of the month other than the first day
of such month or if any payment of Rent is for a period which is shorter than
one month, the Rent for any fractional month shall accrue on a daily basis for
the period from the date such payment is due to the end of such calendar month
or to the end of the Lease Term at a rate per day which is equal to 1/365 of
the applicable annual Rent.  All other
payments or adjustments required to be made under the terms of this Lease that
require proration on a time basis shall be prorated on the same basis.

 

3.2                                 Free Rent. 
Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.1, above, to the
contrary, provided Tenant is not then in default beyond the applicable notice

ARTICLE 4

 

ADDITIONAL RENT

 

4.1                                 General Terms. 
Beginning on January 1, 2006, in addition to paying the Base Rent
specified in Article 3 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay “Tenant’s Share” of the annual “Direct Expenses,” as those terms are
defined in Sections 4.2.6 and 4.2.2 of this Lease, respectively, which
are in excess of the amount of Direct Expenses applicable to the “Base Year,” as that term is defined in Section 4.2.1,
below; provided, however, that in no event shall any decrease in Direct
Expenses for any “Expense Year,”
as that term is defined in Section 4.2.3 below, below Direct
Expenses for the Base Year entitle Tenant to any decrease in Base Rent or any
credit against sums due under

this
Lease.  Such payments by Tenant, together
with any and all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the
terms of this Lease, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Additional Rent”, and the Base Rent and the
Additional Rent are herein collectively referred to as “Rent.” 
Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all amounts due under
this Article 4 as Additional Rent shall be payable for the same
periods and in the same manner as the Base Rent.  Without limitation on other obligations of
Tenant which survive the expiration of the Lease Term, the obligations of Tenant
to pay the Additional Rent provided for in this Article 4 shall
survive the expiration of the Lease Term but shall be payable only for periods
included within the Lease Term. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than Tax Expenses and costs
incurred for utilities (the “Excluded
Expenses”), Tenant shall not be responsible for Tenant’s Share of
any Direct Expenses which are first billed to Tenant more than two (2) calendar
years after the end of the Expense Year to which such Direct Expenses relate,
provided that Tenant shall be responsible for Excluded Expenses first billed to
Tenant more than two (2) calendar years after the end of the Expense Year to
which such Excluded Expenses relate only to the extent that Landlord becomes
aware of such increased Excluded Expenses following such two (2) year period
due to governmental revision, supplementation or other governmental action
which results in the adjustment of the Excluded Expenses.

 

4.2                                 Definitions of Key Terms

(y)                                 Any “finders fees”, brokerage commissions,
job placement costs or job advertising cost;

 

(z)                                   In no event shall Operating Expenses include
insurance deductible amounts in excess of $100,000 in any Expense Year (the
foregoing shall not allow the inclusion of any costs which are otherwise
excluded by the terms of this Lease);

 

(aa)                            Tax Expenses;

 

(bb)                          “Takeover” expenses, including, but not
limited to, the expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to space located in
another building of any kind or nature in connection with the leasing of space
in the Project;

 

(cc)                            Cost of work or replacements covered by
warranties; and

 

(dd)                          Costs resulting from the failure of the
Project, as of the Lease Commencement Date, to comply with laws applicable to
the Project as of the Lease Commencement Date;

 

(ee)                            the wages and benefits of any employee who
does not devote substantially all of his or her employed time to the Project unless
such wages and benefits are prorated to reflect time spent on operating and
managing the Project vis-à-vis time spent on matters unrelated to operating and
managing the Project; provided, that in no event shall Operating Expenses for
purposes of this Lease include wages and/or benefits attributable to personnel
above the level of Project manager or Project engineer;

 

(ff)                                any amounts paid as ground rental or as
rental for the Project by the Landlord; and

 

(gg)                          rentals and other related expenses incurred
in leasing air conditioning systems, elevators or other equipment which if
purchased the cost of which would be excluded from Operating Expenses as a
capital cost, except equipment not affixed to the Project which is used in
providing janitorial or similar services and, further excepting from this
exclusion such equipment rented or leased to remedy or ameliorate an emergency
condition in the Project.

 

The foregoing schedule of exclusions from
Operating Expenses is intended to function solely as an exclusionary listing
and shall not be interpreted to permit or authorize any cost or expense which
would not otherwise be considered to be an Operating Expense under the other
terms and conditions of this Lease.  In
no event shall Landlord bill tenants of the Project in the aggregate for more
than 100% of the cost actually incurred by Landlord for any item of Operating
Expense.  Operating Expenses shall be
calculated in a manner consistent with sound real estate management accounting
principles, consistently applied.

 

In the event that Landlord pays increased insurance
premiums in an Expense Year because, although it did not carry insurance
against the perils of earthquake and/or terrorism during the Base Year, it
subsequently elects to carry insurance against one or both of such perils in an
Expense Year, then, for purposes of calculating Operating Expenses in such
Expense Year (and any subsequent Expense Year in which Landlord elects to carry
insurance against one or both of such perils) the cost of insurance premiums
for the Base Year shall be deemed increased by the amount Landlord would have
incurred had Landlord carried insurance against the same peril(s) during the
entire Base Year.

 

If the Building is not at least 100% occupied by
Tenant for the purpose of conducting its business therein during all or a
portion of the Base Year or any Expense Year, Landlord shall make an
appropriate adjustment to the components of Operating Expenses for such year to
determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been incurred had
the Building been 100% occupied for the entire year (the Base Year or Expense
Year, as applicable) for the purpose of conducting its business therein; and
the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of Operating
Expenses for such year.  In no event
shall Landlord’s grossed-up calculations for any particular expense result in a
determination of such particular expense which would result in more than 100%
of such expense being reimbursable to Landlord, and if such calculations result
in an excess, Tenant’s Share of the amount in excess of 100% shall be returned
to Tenant.  All exclusions to Operating
Expenses, as set forth above,

 

10

 

shall
be deducted prior to applying a gross-up methodology to any item of Operating
Expenses.  Only those items, or
components of items, which are variable (i.e., costs which vary as a result of
changes in occupancy of the Building such as cleaning, repair, maintenance,
HVAC operation, etc.), as opposed to fixed costs (i.e., costs which do not vary
as a result of changes in occupancy of the Building such as annual contracted
inspections of systems of equipment, fixed security and insurance costs, etc.)
shall be grossed-up.  In the gross-up
treatment, reasonable projections shall be used and sound real estate
accounting principles, consistently applied, utilized.

 

4.2.5                        Taxes.

 

4.2.5.1               “Tax
Expenses” shall mean all federal, state, county, or local
governmental or municipal taxes, fees, charges or other impositions of every
kind and nature, whether general, special, ordinary or extraordinary,
(including, without limitation, real estate taxes, general and special
assessments, transit taxes, leasehold taxes or taxes based upon the receipt of
rent, including gross receipts or sales taxes applicable to the receipt of
rent, unless required to be paid by Tenant, personal property taxes imposed
upon the fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and equipment,
appurtenances, furniture and other personal property used in connection with
the Building), which shall be paid or accrued during, and which are
attributable to, a particular Expense Year (without regard to any different
fiscal year used by such governmental or municipal authority) because of or in
connection with the ownership, leasing and operation of the Building.  Tax Expenses for the Base Year and any
Expense Year shall be increased to equal the Tax Expenses, including ad valorem
taxes and gross receipts taxes, which would be payable if the Building (if the
Building is on a separate parcel, and if not, then the buildings that are on
the applicable tax parcel) were fully occupied by tenants paying rental
comparable to Tenant’s rent, built out at a level comparable to Tenant’s
improvements, and the Building(s) fully assessed as a result of the foregoing.

 

4.2.5.2               Tax Expenses shall include, without
limitation:  (i) Any tax on the rent,
right to rent or other income from the Building, or as against the business of
leasing the Building; (ii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in addition
to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy
or charge previously included within the definition of real property tax, it
being acknowledged by Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by
the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election (“Proposition 13”) and that assessments,
taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for
such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse
removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to
property owners or occupants, and, in further recognition of the decrease in
the level and quality of governmental services and amenities as a result of
Proposition 13, Tax Expenses shall also include any governmental or private
assessments or the Project’s contribution towards a governmental or private
cost-sharing agreement for the purpose of augmenting or improving the quality
of services and amenities normally provided by governmental agencies; (iii) Any
assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of
the Premises or the Rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any
gross rents or gross income tax or excise tax with respect to the receipt of
such rent, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating,
management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the
Premises, or any portion thereof; and (iv) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or
charge, upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party,
creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

 

4.2.5.3               Any reasonable costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in attempting to
protest, reduce or minimize Tax Expenses shall be included in Tax Expenses in
the Expense Year such expenses are paid. Refunds of Tax Expenses shall be
credited against Tax Expenses and refunded to Tenant regardless of when received,
based on the Expense Year to which the refund is applicable, provided that in
no event shall the amount to be refunded to Tenant for any such Expense Year
exceed the total amount paid by Tenant as Additional Rent under this Article 4
for such Expense Year.  If Tax Expenses
for any period during the Lease Term or any extension thereof are increased
after payment thereof for any reason, including, without limitation, error or
reassessment by applicable governmental or municipal authorities, Tenant shall pay
Landlord within thirty (30) days following demand by Landlord, Tenant’s Share
of any such increased Tax Expenses included by Landlord as Tax Expenses
pursuant to the terms of this Lease. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.2.5
(except as set forth in Section 4.2.5.1, above), there shall be
excluded from Tax Expenses (i) all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift
taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, transfer taxes,
estate taxes, federal and state income taxes, and other taxes to the extent
applicable to Landlord’s general or net income (as opposed to rents, receipts
or income attributable to operations at the Project), (ii) any items already
included as Operating Expenses, and (iii) any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.5
of this Lease.

 

4.2.6                        “Tenant’s
Share” shall mean the percentage set forth in Section 6
of the Summary.

 

4.3                                 Multi-Building Project.  The
parties acknowledge that the Building is a part of a multi-building project and
that certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project, which
are not attributable or specific to a particular building or tenant, should be
shared between Tenant and the tenants of the Adjacent Building or other
buildings in the Project.  Such shared
costs shall include, without limitation, the cost of operation, repair and
maintenance of any parking structure that may be developed by Landlord at the
Project if a material portion of Tenant’s parking spaces are relocated to such
parking structure.  Accordingly, Landlord
shall allocate, on a reasonable and equitable basis, to the Building a portion
of Operating Expenses that are incurred on a Project-wide basis, and that are
not attributable or specific to a particular building or tenant.

 

4.4                                 Calculation and Payment of
Additional Rent.  If for any Expense Year ending or commencing
within the Lease Term, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year
exceeds Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses applicable to the Base Year, then
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.4.1,
below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to the excess (the “Excess”).

 

11

 

4.4.1                        Statement of Actual Direct
Expenses and Payment by Tenant.  Landlord shall give to Tenant
within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each Expense Year, a
statement (the “Statement”) which
shall state the Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense
Year, and which shall indicate the amount of the Excess.  Each Statement shall be itemized with
reasonable detail as to general categories and shall specifically note the
amount of each such category.  Upon
receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the
Lease Term, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall pay, with its next
installment of Base Rent due or within 30 days following Tenant’s receipt of
the Statement, whichever is later, the full amount of the Excess for such
Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as “Estimated Excess,” as that term is defined
in Section 4.4.2, below.  If
the amount of the Excess is less than the amount paid by Tenant as Estimated
Excess during the applicable Expense Year, Tenant shall receive a credit for
such overpayment against the Rent next due under this Lease, provided that if
the Lease Term has expired, Landlord shall pay the amount of Tenant’s
overpayment to Tenant.  The failure of
Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not
prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Article 4.  Even though the Lease Term has expired and
Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s
Share of Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates,
if an Excess if present, Tenant, within thirty (30) days following demand
by Landlord, shall pay to Landlord such amount. 
The provisions of this Section 4.4.1 shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.

 

4.4.2                        Statement of Estimated
Direct Expenses.  In addition, Landlord shall endeavor to give
Tenant within 120 days following the commencement of each Expense Year a yearly
expense estimate statement (the “Estimate
Statement”) which shall set forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate
(the “Estimate”) of what the total
amount of Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the
estimated excess (the “Estimated Excess”)
as calculated by comparing the Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, which
shall be based upon the Estimate, to the amount of Direct Expenses for the Base
Year.  The failure of Landlord to timely
furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord
from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Excess under this Article 4,
nor shall Landlord be prohibited from revising any Estimate Statement or
Estimated Excess theretofore delivered to the extent necessary.  Thereafter, Tenant shall pay, with its next
installment of Base Rent due or within 30 days following Tenant’s receipt of
the Estimate Statement, whichever is later, a fraction of the Estimated Excess
for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the
last sentence of this Section 4.4.2).  Such fraction shall have as its numerator the
number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the
month of such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator.  Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished
(which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant at any time), Tenant
shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to
one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Excess set forth in the previous
Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.

 

4.5                                 Taxes and Other Charges for
Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible.

 

4.5.1                        Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay
before delinquency, taxes levied against Tenant’s equipment, furniture,
fixtures and any other personal property located in or about the Premises.  If any such taxes on Tenant’s equipment,
furniture, fixtures and any other personal property are levied against Landlord
or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is
increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture,
fixtures or any other personal property and if Landlord pays the taxes based
upon 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 repay to Landlord the taxes so levied
against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase
in the assessment, as the case may be.

 

4.5.2                        Notwithstanding any contrary provision
herein, Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency any rent tax or sales tax,
service tax, transfer tax or value added tax, or any other applicable tax on
the rent or services herein or otherwise respecting this Lease.

 

4.5.3                        If the “Original Improvements” (as defined in
Section 10.3.2 below) and Alterations 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 in excess of the actual hard Tenant
Improvement costs, not to exceed $40.00 per rentable square foot of the
Premises, then the Tax Expenses levied against Landlord or the property 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 4.5.1,
above.

 

4.6                                 Tenant’s Payment of Certain
Tax Expenses.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Lease, in the event that, at any time during the initial
Lease Term, any sale, refinancing, or change in ownership of the Building or
Project is consummated, and as a result thereof, and to the extent that in
connection therewith, the Project is reassessed (the “Reassessment”) for real estate tax purposes
by the appropriate governmental authority pursuant to the terms of Proposition
13, or any successor statute, then the terms of this Section 4.6
shall apply to such Reassessment of the Project.

 

4.6.1                        The Tax Increase.  For
purposes of this Article 4, the term “Tax
Increase” shall mean that portion of the Tax Expenses, as calculated
immediately following the Reassessment, which is attributable solely to the
Reassessment.  Accordingly, the term Tax
Increase shall not include any portion of the Tax Expenses, as calculated
immediately following the Reassessment, which (i) is attributable to the
initial assessment of the value of the base, shell and core of the Building or
the tenant improvements located in the Building, (ii) is attributable to
assessments which were pending immediately prior to the Reassessment which
assessments were conducted during, and included in, such Reassessment, or which
assessments were otherwise rendered unnecessary following the Reassessment, and
(iii) is attributable to the annual inflationary increase of real estate taxes,
but not in excess of two percent (2.0%) per annum.

4.6.2                        Protection.  In
the event of a Reassessment during the initial Lease Term, Tenant shall not be
obligated to pay the applicable “Percentage of Protection” as set forth below,
of the associated Tax Increase.

As an example only, in the event of a Reassessment on the first day of the 2nd
Lease Year, Tenant would be responsible for 0% of the resulting Tax Increase in
Lease Years 2 and 3; 50% of the resulting Tax Increase during Lease Years 4
through 6; and 100% of the resulting Tax Increase in Lease Years 7 through 10.

 

4.6.3                        Landlord’s Right to Purchase
the Proposition 13 Protection Amount Attributable to a Particular Reassessment.  The
amount of Tax Expenses which Tenant is not obligated to pay or will not be
obligated to pay during the Lease Term in connection with a particular
Reassessment pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.6, shall be
sometimes referred to hereafter as a “Proposition
13 Protection Amount.”  If the
occurrence of a Reassessment is reasonably foreseeable by Landlord and the
Proposition 13 Protection Amount attributable to such Reassessment can be
reasonably quantified or estimated for each Lease Year commencing with the
Lease Year in which the Reassessment will occur, the terms of this Section 4.6.3
shall apply to each such Reassessment. 
Upon notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to purchase the
Proposition 13 Protection Amount relating to the applicable Reassessment (the “Applicable Reassessment”), at any time
during the Lease Term, by paying to Tenant an amount equal to the “Proposition
13 Purchase Price,” as that term is defined below, provided that the right of
any successor of Landlord to exercise its right of repurchase hereunder shall
not apply to any Reassessment which results from the event pursuant to which
such successor of Landlord became the Landlord under this Lease.  As used herein, “Proposition 13 Purchase
Price” shall mean the present value of the Proposition 13 Protection Amount
remaining during the Lease Term, as of the date of payment of the Proposition
13 Purchase Price by Landlord.  Such
present value shall be calculated (i) by using the portion of the Proposition
13 Protection Amount attributable to each remaining Lease Year (as though the
portion of such Proposition 13 Protection Amount benefited Tenant at the end of
each Lease Year), as the amounts to be discounted, and (ii) by using discount
rates for each amount to be discounted equal to (A) the average rates of yield
for United States Treasury Obligations with maturity dates as close as
reasonably possible to the end of each Lease Year during which the portions of
the Proposition 13 Protection Amount would have benefited Tenant, which rates
shall be those in effect as of Landlord’s exercise of its right to purchase, as
set forth in this Section 4.6.3, plus (B) two percent (2%) per
annum.  Upon such payment of the
Proposition 13 Purchase Price, the provisions of Section 4.6.2 of
this Lease shall not apply to any Tax Increase attributable to the Applicable
Reassessment.  Since Landlord is
estimating the Proposition 13 Purchase Price because a Reassessment has not yet
occurred, then when such Reassessment occurs, if Landlord has underestimated
the Proposition 13 Purchase Price, then upon notice by Landlord to Tenant,
Tenant’s Rent next due shall be credited with the amount of such
underestimation, and if Landlord overestimates the Proposition 13 Purchase
Price, then upon notice by Landlord to Tenant, Rent next due shall be increased
by the amount of the overestimation.

 

4.7                                 Landlord’s Books and Records. 
Within one (1) year after receipt of a Statement by Tenant (or three (3)
years with respect to the Base Year only), if Tenant disputes the amount of
Additional Rent set forth in the applicable Statement, either Tenant or an
independent certified public accountant (which accountant is a member of a
nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm and is paid on a
non-contingency fee basis), designated and paid for by Tenant, may, after
reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, inspect and copy
Landlord’s records with respect to the Statement at Landlord’s offices in Los
Angeles County, provided that Tenant has paid all amounts required to be paid
under the applicable Statement.  In
connection with such inspection, Tenant and Tenant’s agents must agree in advance
to follow Landlord’s reasonable rules and procedures regarding inspections of
Landlord’s records, and shall execute a commercially reasonable confidentiality
agreement regarding such inspection. 
Tenant’s failure to dispute the amount of Additional Rent set forth in
any Statement within one (1) year of Tenant’s receipt of such Statement (or
three (3) years with respect to the Base Year only) shall be deemed to be
Tenant’s approval of such Statement and Tenant thereafter waives the right or
ability to dispute the amounts set forth in such Statement.  Tenant’s review of the Statement for the Base
Year shall not extend Tenant’s review period for any other Lease Year.  If after such inspection, Tenant still
disputes such Additional Rent, a binding determination as to the proper amount
shall be made, at Tenant’s expense, by an independent certified public
accountant (the “Accountant”)
selected by Landlord and subject to Tenant’s reasonable approval; provided that
if such determination by the Accountant proves that Direct Expenses were
overstated by more than seven percent (7%), then the cost of Tenant’s initial
review, the Accountant and the cost of such determination shall be paid for by
Landlord.  If the resolution of the
parties’ dispute with regard to the Additional Rent under this Section (which
resolution shall include the binding determination of the Accountant) reveals
an error in the calculation of the Additional Rent to be paid by Tenant, the
parties’ sole remedy shall be for the parties to make appropriate payments or
reimbursements, including interest on any over-payment made by Tenant or
underpayment due to Landlord, as the case may be, to each other as are
determined to be owing.  Any such payment
shall be made within thirty (30) days following the resolution of such
dispute.  Subject to the express terms
hereof, the terms of this Section 4.7 shall survive the termination
of this Lease to allow the parties to enforce their respective rights
hereunder.  Tenant hereby acknowledges
that Tenant’s sole right to inspect Landlord’s books and records and to contest
the amount of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant shall be as set forth in this Section 4.7,
and Tenant hereby waives any and all other rights pursuant to applicable law to
inspect such books and records and/or to contest the amount of Direct Expenses
payable by Tenant.

USE OF PREMISES

 

5.1                                 Permitted Use. 
Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the Permitted Use set forth in Section 7
of the Summary and Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises or the Project
to be used for any other purpose or purposes whatsoever without the prior
written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole
discretion.

 

5.2                                 Prohibited Uses.  Tenant
further covenants and agrees that Tenant shall not use, or suffer or permit any
person or persons to use, the Premises or any part thereof for any use or
purpose contrary to the provisions of the Rules and Regulations set forth in Exhibit D, attached hereto, or in
violation of the laws of the United States of America, the State of California,
the ordinances, regulations or requirements of the local municipal or county
governing body or other lawful authorities having jurisdiction over the
Project) including, without limitation, any such laws, ordinances, regulations
or requirements relating to hazardous materials or substances, as those terms
are defined by applicable laws now or hereafter in effect.  Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be
done in or about the Premises which will unreasonably obstruct or interfere
with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Project, or injure or
annoy them or use or allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose,
nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the
Premises.  Tenant shall comply with, and
Tenant’s rights and obligations under the Lease and Tenant’s use of the
Premises shall be subject and subordinate to, all recorded easements,
covenants, conditions, and restrictions (collectively, “CC&Rs”) now or hereafter affecting the
Project, but with respect to any CC&Rs recorded following the date of this
Lease (“Future CC&Rs”), Tenant
agrees to comply with such Future CC&Rs only to the extent such Future
CC&R’s do not adversely affect Tenant’s use of the Premises for the
Permitted Use, or increase Tenant’s costs or obligations hereunder.  Landlord hereby represents and warrants to
Tenant that there are no unrecorded existing CC&Rs that would conflict or
would interfere with the terms of this Lease, or would interfere with the use
of the Premises by Tenant for the Permitted Use.

 

5.3                                 Kitchen/Cafeteria. 
Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that as a part of the
Improvements to be constructed by Tenant in accordance with the terms of the
Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit
B, Tenant may install a kitchen and cafeteria for uses
consistent with general office uses, subject to (i) the terms of this Section 5.3,
(ii) Landlord’s consent to all plans and specifications related to such kitchen
(including, but not limited to, the location of such kitchen and provision for
adequate venting), and (iii) compliance with all Applicable Laws.

 

5.4                                 Tenant’s Right to Install an
Emergency Generator.  Subject to the terms hereof, Tenant shall
have the right to install an emergency back-up electrical generator (the “Generator”) at the Project outside of the
Building, in a location to be designated by Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable
discretion.  Subject to Landlord’s prior
approval of all plans and specifications, and at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, Landlord shall permit Tenant to install and maintain the Generator,
and connections between the Generator and the Premises, all in compliance with
all applicable Laws.  Such Generator
shall be used by Tenant only during (i) testing and regular maintenance,
and (ii) the period of any electrical power outage in the Building.  Tenant shall be entitled to operate the
Generator and such connections to the Premises for testing and regular maintenance
only upon notice to Landlord and at times reasonably approved by Landlord.  Tenant shall submit the specifications for
design, operation, installation, and maintenance of the connections to the
Generator and facilities related thereto to Landlord for Landlord’s consent,
which consent may be conditioned on Tenant complying with such reasonable
requirements imposed by Landlord, based on the advice of Landlord’s engineers,
so that the safety and security of the Building is not endangered, and the Building’s
Systems are not materially and adversely affected by the installation and
operation of the Generator.  Tenant’s
right to install the Generator shall be subject to Tenant’s receipt of all
applicable permits and governmental approvals, which shall be obtained by
Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost.  Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord a copy of all such permits and approvals.  Tenant shall also enclose the Generator to
maintain the aesthetic appearance of the Project, as reasonably prescribed by
Landlord.  Tenant shall have no
obligation to pay any base rent for the space occupied by the Generator,
provided that the cost of design (including engineering costs) and installation
of the Generator and the costs of the Generator itself shall be Tenant’s sole
responsibility.  The number of parking
spaces that Landlord is obligated to provide to Tenant (as set forth in Section 9
of the Summary) shall be reduced to the extent that Landlord loses use of any
parking spaces due to the presence of the Generator.  All repairs and maintenance of and compliance
with Applicable Laws with respect to the Generator shall be the sole
responsibility of Tenant, and Landlord makes no representation or warranty with
respect to such Generator.  At Landlord’s
option, Landlord may require that Tenant remove the Generator and all related
facilities upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and repair
all damage to the Building resulting from such removal, at Tenant’s sole cost
and expense.  The terms of the preceding
sentence shall survive the termination or earlier expiration of this
Lease.  The Generator shall be deemed to
be a part of the Premises for purposes of the indemnification and insurance
provisions of this Lease, and Tenant shall maintain, at Tenant’s cost, industry
standard “boiler and machinery” insurance coverage with respect thereto.

SERVICES AND UTILITIES

 

6.1                                 Standard Tenant Services. 
Landlord shall provide the following services on all days (unless
otherwise stated below) during the Lease Term.

 

6.1.1                        Subject to limitations imposed by all
governmental rules, regulations and guidelines applicable thereto, Landlord
shall provide heating and air conditioning (“HVAC”)
when necessary for normal comfort for normal office use in the Premises (i.e.,
assuming normal density and equipment usage) from 8:00 A.M.

 

14

 

to
6:00 P.M. Monday through Friday, and on Saturdays from 9:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M.
(collectively, the “Building Hours”),
except for the date of observation of New Year’s Day, Independence Day, Labor
Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and, at Landlord’s
discretion, other nationally recognized holidays (collectively, the “Holidays”). 
Landlord shall deliver the Building HVAC system in good working order
and condition as of the Lease Commencement Date.

 

6.1.2                        Landlord shall provide adequate electrical
wiring and facilities in compliance with the specifications set forth on Schedule 2
to Exhibit B for connection to Tenant’s lighting fixtures and incidental use
equipment for normal office use, which electrical usage shall be subject to
applicable laws and regulations, including Title 24.  The cost of replacement
of Building-standard (non-specialty) lamps, starters and ballasts shall be
included in Operating Expenses.

 

6.1.3                        Landlord shall provide city water from the
regular Building outlets for drinking, lavatory and toilet purposes in the
Building’s Common Areas.

 

6.1.4                        Landlord shall provide janitorial services to
the Premises Monday through Friday, except the date of observation of the
Holidays, in and about the Premises, in accordance with specifications attached
hereto as Exhibit I, and
otherwise in a manner consistent with Comparable Buildings.  Landlord’s obligations are premised upon
Tenant’s operation during normal business hours; if Tenant works night shifts,
double shifts or consistently long hours, Landlord shall not be obligated to
provide additional janitorial services to compensate for the additional
cleaning requirements imposed by Tenant as a result thereof. Landlord shall not
provide janitorial services to Tenant’s kitchen area.  Landlord shall provide typical office
janitorial service in Tenant’s lunch room areas.  Tenant will provide all food-related cleaning
(such as cleaning of food and food waste from counters, tables and floors,
disposal of food waste, etc.) in its lunch room areas.  Tenant shall keep Tenant’s kitchen and
lunchroom areas clean and sanitary at all times.  As consideration for Tenant’s obligation to
clean its kitchen area, Landlord shall credit Tenant $75 per month, which
amount may be offset against the Rent due hereunder on a monthly basis.  During Rent abatement periods, Landlord shall
pay Tenant $75 per month.

 

6.1.5                        Tenant may, at its own expense, install its
own security system (“Tenant’s Security
System”) in the Premises as part of Tenant’s initial construction
pursuant to the terms of the Tenant Work Letter or afterward pursuant to the
terms of Article 8, below; provided, however, that Tenant shall
coordinate the installation and operation of Tenant’s Security System with
Landlord to assure that Tenant’s Security System does not interfere with the
Building systems and equipment and to the extent that Tenant’s Security System
unreasonably interferes with Landlord’s security system and the Building
systems and equipment, Tenant shall not be entitled to install or operate
it.  Tenant shall be solely responsible,
at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for the monitoring, operation and removal of
Tenant’s Security System.

 

6.1.6                        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Lease, Landlord agrees that Landlord shall maintain and operate the
Building and Project in a manner, and in a condition and repair, materially
consistent with that undertaken by landlords of the Comparable Buildings.

 

Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord at
all times and abide by all regulations and requirements that Landlord may
reasonably prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the HVAC,
electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems.

 

6.2                                 Overstandard Tenant Use. 
Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, use
heat-generating machines, machines other than normal fractional horsepower
office machines, or equipment or lighting other than Building standard lights
in the Premises, which may affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the
air conditioning system or increase the water normally furnished for the
Premises by Landlord pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1 of this
Lease, except as permitted in this Lease. 
Tenant’s use of electricity shall never exceed the capacity of the
feeders to the Project or the risers or wiring installation.  Landlord shall cause the electrical use of
the Building HVAC system to be separately metered.  Electrical usage for “After Hours HVAC” (as
that term is defined below) shall not be included in the “Monthly Utility Cost”
(as defined in Section 6.3 below), but shall be included in the “After
Hours HVAC Charge” (as that term is defined below).  If Tenant desires to use heat, ventilation or
air conditioning during hours other than those for which Landlord is obligated
to supply such utilities pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1 of
this Lease (“After Hours HVAC”),
Tenant shall give Landlord such prior notice, as Landlord shall from time to
time establish as appropriate, of Tenant’s desired use, and Landlord shall
supply such After Hours HVAC to Tenant at the “After Hours HVAC Charge,” as
that term is defined, below.  As used
herein, the “After Hours HVAC Charge”
shall equal the actual cost to Landlord of supplying such After Hours HVAC,
without profit or overhead but including the salary and benefits of the
engineer and other personnel required to supply the same.  Amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord for
such use of additional utilities shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder.

 

6.3                                 Utility Expense Stop.  To
the extent during any month during the Term (including the Option Term, if
applicable) the actual cost charged by the applicable utility provider for the
supply of electricity (including electricity used to provide HVAC during
Building Hours), water and gas to the Building (including the Premises) (the “Monthly Utility Cost”) exceeds the “Monthly
Utility Expense Stop Amount” (as defined below), then Tenant shall be required
to pay Landlord, within thirty (30) days following receipt of a written
invoice, the amount by which the Monthly Utility Cost exceeds such Monthly
Utility Expense Stop Amount.  Conversely,
to the extent during any month during the Term the Monthly Utility Cost is less
than the “Minimum Monthly Utility Amount” (as defined below), then Landlord
shall provide a credit to Tenant in the amount by which the Minimum Monthly
Utility Amount exceeds the Monthly Utility Cost, which credit shall be applied
against the Base Rent and Additional Rent next due hereunder.  If any utility costs are paid by Landlord on
other than a monthly basis, then Landlord shall reasonably calculate the
monthly cost of such utilities. Amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord under
this Section

 

15

 

6.3
shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder. 
Utility costs covered by this Section 6.3 shall not be
included in Operating Expenses.  For
purposes of this Section 6.3, the following terms shall de defined as
follows:

 

(i)                                        the “Monthly
Utility Expense Stop Amount” shall initially be $0.20 per rentable
square foot of the Premises and shall increase by three percent (3%), on a
compounded basis, on each anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date.

 

(ii)                                     the “Minimum
Monthly Utility Amount” shall initially be $0.17 per rentable square
foot of the Premises and shall increase by three percent (3%), on a compounded
basis, on each anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date.

 

ARTICLE 7

 

REPAIRS

 

7.1                                 Duties of Repair. 
Landlord shall maintain, repair and replace (i) the structural portions
of the Building, including the foundation, floor/ceiling slabs, roof,
skylights, curtain wall, exterior glass and mullions, columns, beams, shafts
(including elevator shafts), exit stairs, Project parking facility, elevator
cabs, and Building mechanical, electrical and telephone closets and Base
Building (collectively, “Building Structure”),
and (ii) the mechanical, electrical, life safety, plumbing, sprinkler systems
and HVAC systems installed or furnished by Landlord (the “Building Systems”), in good order and
repair and in a first class condition. 
The Building Structure and Building Systems shall be collectively
referred to as the “Base Building.”  Except as to Landlord’s obligations set forth
above in this Section 7.1, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense,
keep the Premises, including all Alterations, “Tenant Improvements,” as that
term is defined in the Tenant Work Letter, all improvements, fixtures
furnishings, and systems and equipment therein (including, without limitation,
plumbing fixtures and equipment such as dishwashers, garbage disposals, and
insta-hot dispensers), in good order, repair and condition at all times during
the Lease Term.  In addition, except as
provided as part of Landlord’s repair obligations set forth above or elsewhere
in this Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, but under the supervision
and subject to the prior approval of Landlord, and within any reasonable period
of time, promptly and adequately complete all repairs which Tenant is obligated
to complete; provided however, that, at Landlord’s option, if Tenant fails to
make such repairs, Landlord may, but need not, on not less than ten (10)
business days notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency), make such
repairs, and, to the extent Tenant was obligated to undertake such repair at
Tenant’s sole cost, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days following demand by
Landlord, pay Landlord the actual and reasonable cost expended by Landlord in
connection therewith.  Landlord may, but
shall not be required to, and on not less than 24 hours prior written notice,
enter the Premises at reasonable times to make repairs, alterations,
improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Building or to any
equipment located in the Building as required by the terms of this Lease, or as
required by governmental or quasi-governmental authority or court order or
decree.  Subject to Section 7.2,
below, Tenant hereby waives any and all rights under and benefits of subsection 1
of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code or
under any similar law, statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.

 

7.2                                 Tenant’s Right to Make
Repairs.  If Tenant provides written notice to Landlord
of an event or circumstance which requires the action of Landlord with respect
to the provision of utilities and/or services and/or repairs and/or maintenance
to the Premises, and Landlord fails to provide such action as required by the
terms of this Lease within thirty (30) days after receipt of such written
notice (or such longer period of time if the nature of such action is such that
the same cannot reasonably be completed within a thirty (30) day period,
provided Landlord has diligently and continuously commenced such action within
such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to complete said action as soon
as possible), then Tenant may proceed to take the required action upon delivery
of an additional five (5) days notice to Landlord specifying that Tenant is
taking such required action, and if such action was required under the terms of
this Lease to be taken by Landlord, then Tenant shall be entitled to prompt
reimbursement by Landlord of Tenant’s reasonable costs and expenses in taking
such action plus interest at the Interest Rate during the period from the date
Tenant incurs such costs and expenses until such time as payment is made by
Landlord.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event of an emergency, the 30-day period set forth above shall be
reduced to 24 hours, and no second notice shall be required, Tenant shall use
reputable contractors with experience in similar work.  Further, if Landlord does not deliver a
detailed written objection to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an
invoice by Tenant of its costs of taking action which Tenant claims should have
been taken by Landlord, and if such invoice from Tenant sets forth a reasonably
particularized breakdown of its costs and expenses in connection with taking
such action on behalf of Landlord, then Tenant shall be entitled to deduct from
Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease, the amount set forth in such invoice
together with interest at the Interest Rate. 
If, however, Landlord in good faith delivers to Tenant within thirty
(30) days after receipt of Tenant’s invoice, a written objection to the payment
of such invoice, setting forth with reasonable particularity Landlord’s reasons
for its claim that such action did not have to be taken by Landlord pursuant to
the terms of this Lease or that specifically enumerated charges are excessive
(in which case Landlord shall pay all of the charges not so enumerated, and
further, with respect to the charges so enumerated, the amount it contends
would not have been excessive), then Tenant shall not be entitled to such
deduction from Rent, but Tenant may proceed to claim a default by Landlord
under this Lease and may institute legal action seeking to recover damages from
Landlord as a result of such claimed default.

 

ARTICLE 8

 

ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS

 

8.1                                 Landlord’s Consent to
Alterations.  Tenant may make any improvements,
alterations, additions or changes to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) upon ten (10) days notice to
Landlord by Tenant but

 

16

 

without
first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations,
provided that Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior consent with respect to
(i) any Alteration which relates to, or is required in connection with the
use by, Tenant of any hazardous materials or hazardous substances in the
Premises, which Landlord may withhold its consent to in Landlord’s sole and
absolute discretion, (ii) any Alteration which materially and adversely
affects the structural portions or the systems or equipment of the Building,
which Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to, or
(iii) any Alteration which is visible from the exterior of the Building
and which results in a material adverse change in the appearance of the Building,
which Landlord may withhold its consent to in Landlord’s sole and absolute
discretion.  Except as set forth to the
contrary in this Article 8, the construction of the initial
improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work
Letter and not the terms of this Article 8.

 

8.2                                 Manner of Construction. 
Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent to any Alteration
requiring Landlord’s consent, the requirement that Tenant utilize for such
purposes only contractors and subcontractors approved by Landlord, in Landlord’s
reasonable discretion.  With respect to
Alterations not requiring Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall utilize only
reputable and skilled contractors and subcontractors which are comparable to
the contractors and subcontractors utilized by tenants at the Comparable
Buildings.  If such Alterations will
involve the use of or disturb hazardous materials or substances existing in the
Premises, Tenant shall comply with Landlord’s reasonable rules and regulations
concerning such hazardous materials or substances.  Tenant shall construct such Alterations and
perform such repairs in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformance with any
and all applicable federal, state, county or municipal laws, rules and
regulations and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the appropriate
municipal agency, all in conformance with Landlord’s reasonable construction
rules and regulations; provided, however, that prior to commencing to construct
any Alteration, Tenant shall meet with Landlord to discuss Landlord’s design
parameters and code compliance issues. 
In the event Tenant performs any Alterations which are not customary
general office tenant improvements which require or give rise to governmentally
required changes to the Base Building, then Landlord shall, at Tenant’s
expense, make such changes to the Base Building.  In performing the work of any such
Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner so as not to
unreasonably obstruct access to the Project or any portion thereof, by any
other tenant of the Project, and so as not to unreasonably obstruct the
business of Landlord or other tenants in the Project.  Tenant shall not use (and upon notice from
Landlord shall cease using) contractors, services, workmen, labor, materials or
equipment that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would disturb labor harmony
with the workforce or trades engaged in performing other work, labor or
services in or about the Building or the Common Areas (Tenant hereby
acknowledging and agreeing that the foregoing shall be applicable in connection
with the Tenant Improvements as well as any Alterations).  In addition to Tenant’s obligations under Article 9
of this Lease, upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant agrees to cause a
Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the County
of Los Angeles in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the
State of California or any successor statute, and Tenant shall deliver to the
Project construction manager a reproducible copy of the “as built” drawings of the Alterations as
well as all permits, approvals and other documents issued by any governmental
agency in connection with the Alterations.

 

8.3                                 Payment for Improvements.  If
payment for any Alteration in excess of $100,000 is made by Tenant directly to
contractors, Tenant shall comply with Landlord’s reasonable and customary
requirements for final lien releases and waivers in connection with Tenant’s
payment for work to contractors, provided that Tenant’s obligations under Article 9 of this Lease shall apply with respect to
all Alterations undertaken by Tenant.  If
Tenant orders any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord 5%
of the cost of such work to compensate Landlord for all overhead, general
conditions, fees and other costs and expenses arising from Landlord’s
involvement with such work.  If Tenant
does not order any work from Landlord, Tenant shall not be required to pay
Landlord any supervision fee or other compensation in connection with such
work, but if such work shall involve any matter which reasonably requires
review or consultation by Landlord’s management staff with third-party
consultants, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s Actual Cost in
connection with such review or consultation.

 

8.4                                 Construction Insurance.  In
addition to the requirements of Article 10 of this Lease, in the
event that Tenant makes any Alterations, prior to the commencement of such
Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant carries “Builder’s
All Risk” insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction
of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably
require, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured
by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon
completion thereof.  In addition, only if
Tenant’s financial condition has materially deteriorated from its financial
condition as of the date hereof, Landlord may, in its discretion, require
Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security
satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free
completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee.

 

8.5                                 Landlord’s Property.  All
Alterations, improvements, fixtures, equipment and/or appurtenances which may
be installed or placed in or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at
the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord,
except that Tenant may remove any Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or
equipment which have not been paid for with any Tenant improvement allowance
funds provided to Tenant by Landlord, provided Tenant repairs any damage to the
Premises and Building caused by such removal and returns the affected portion
of the Premises to a commercially reasonable condition.  Furthermore, Landlord may, by written notice
to Tenant given at the time Landlord grants its consent to any Tenant
Improvements, Alterations or systems and equipment (which notice shall specify
the reasonable grounds for such requirement), require Tenant, at Tenant’s
expense, to remove any Alterations or systems and equipment in the Premises,
which is not a typical general office improvement, upon the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease (the “Designated
Alterations”) and repair any damage to the Premises and Building
caused by such removal and return the affected portion of the Premises to a commercially
reasonable condition, provided that Landlord shall have the right to require
Tenant to leave any of the Designated Alterations in the Premises by delivery
of notice to Tenant at least six (6) months prior

 

17

 

to
the end of the Term.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall have no obligation to remove any of the initial Tenant
Improvements provided they are consistent with the “Final Space Plan” (as
defined in Section 3.2 of the Work Letter).  If Tenant fails to complete such removal
and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of such Tenant Improvements,
Alterations and/or systems and equipment in the Premises and return the
affected portion of the Premises to a commercially reasonable condition as
required under this Lease, provided that Tenant does not fulfill such
obligation within thirty (30) days following notice from Landlord, Landlord may
do so and may charge the cost thereof to Tenant.  Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies
and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or
claim of lien in any manner relating to the installation, placement, removal or
financing of any such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in,
on or about the Premises, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

ARTICLE 9

 

COVENANT AGAINST LIENS

 

Tenant shall keep the Project and Premises free from
any liens or encumbrances arising out of the work performed, materials
furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant, and shall protect,
defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims,
liabilities, judgments or costs (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of same or in connection therewith.  Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least
ten (10) days prior to the commencement of any such work on the Premises (or
such additional time as may be necessary under applicable laws) to afford
Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording appropriate notices of
non-responsibility.  Tenant shall remove
any such lien or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within twenty (20) business
days after notice by Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may
pay the amount necessary to remove such lien or encumbrance, without being
responsible for investigating the validity thereof.  The amount so paid shall be deemed Additional
Rent under this Lease payable within thirty (30) days following demand by
Landlord, without limitation as to other remedies available to Landlord under
this Lease.  Nothing contained in this
Lease shall authorize Tenant to do any act which shall subject Landlord’s title
to the Building or Premises to any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by
operation of law or express or implied contract.  Any claim to a lien or encumbrance upon the
Building or Premises arising in connection with any such work or respecting the
Premises not performed by or at the request of Landlord shall be null and void,
or at Landlord’s option shall attach only against Tenant’s interest in the
Premises and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord’s title to the
Project, Building and Premises.

 

ARTICLE 10

 

INSURANCE

 

10.1                           Indemnification and Waiver. 
Except to the extent arising from matters set forth in items (i),
(ii) and (iii), below, Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or
injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever and
agrees that Landlord, its partners, members, subpartners, parents,
subsidiaries, affiliates and their respective officers, agents, servants,
employees, and independent contractors (collectively, “Landlord Parties”) shall not be liable for,
and are hereby released from any responsibility for, any damage either to
person or property or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage is
sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant.  Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and
hold harmless the Landlord Parties from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense
and liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees) (“Claims and Expenses”)
incurred in connection with or arising from any cause in or on the Premises,
any negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or of any person claiming by,
through or under Tenant, or of the contractors, agents, servants, or employees
of Tenant or any such person, in or on the Project, or any breach of the terms
of this Lease, either prior to or during the Lease Term, provided that the
terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord Parties.  Should
Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against Tenant in
connection with or arising out of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in such suit,
including without limitation, its actual professional fees such as reasonable
appraisers’, accountants’ and attorneys’ fees. 
Further, Tenant’s agreement to indemnify Landlord pursuant to this Section 10.1
is not intended and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations
under policies required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of
this Lease, to the extent such policies cover the matters subject to Tenant’s
indemnification obligations; nor shall they supersede any inconsistent
agreement of the parties set forth in any other provision of this Lease.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of
this Lease, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable to the other party for
any consequential damages for a breach or default under this Lease, provided
that this sentence shall not be applicable to any consequential damages which
may be incurred by Landlord relating to, or in connection with any holdover by
Tenant following the expiration of the Lease Term, subject to and in accordance
with the provisions of Article 16 hereof.  The provisions of this Section 10.1
shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect
to any claims or liability arising in connection with any event occurring prior
to such expiration or termination. 
Subject to the provisions of this Section 10.1, Landlord
shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Tenant and its partners,
subsidiaries, affiliates, and their respective members, directors, officers,
agents, servants and employees (collectively, “Tenant Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Claims
and Expenses incurred in connection with, or arising form (i) any cause in or
about the Project, the Building or the Common Areas (in each case other than
the Premises), to the extent the same would be covered under a customary CGL
Policy of insurance or is otherwise covered by Landlord’s insurance; (ii) any
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or of any Landlord Party or any
Landlord contractor, whether in or about the Project, the Building, the Common
Areas or the Premises, or (iii) a breach of this Lease by Landlord; provided,
however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the extent of the
negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant Parties.

 

18

 

10.1.1                  Landlord’s Insurance. 
Landlord shall carry commercial general liability insurance with respect
to the Building and Project during the Lease Term, and Landlord shall further
insure the Building and Project during the Lease Term for full replacement
coverage against loss or damage due to fire and other casualties covered within
the classification of fire and extended coverage, vandalism coverage and
malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage, water damage and special extended
coverage

 

10.2                           Landlord’s insurance coverage shall be in
such amounts, from such companies, and on such other terms and conditions, as
Landlord may from time to time reasonably determine.  Additionally, at the option of Landlord, such
insurance coverage may include the risks of earthquakes and/or flood damage and
additional hazards, and loss payee endorsements in favor of the holders of any
mortgages or deeds of trust encumbering the interest of Landlord in the
Building or Project or the ground or underlying lessors of the Building,
Project, or any portion thereof. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2
and Section 10.4 below, the coverage and amounts of insurance carried
by Landlord in connection with the Building and Project shall, at a minimum, be
comparable to the coverage and amounts of insurance which are carried by
reasonably prudent landlords of Comparable Buildings, and Worker’s Compensation
and Employer’s Liability coverage as required by applicable law.  The minimum limits of policies of insurance
required of Landlord under the Lease shall not limit the liability of Landlord
under this Lease with respect to claims covered by such insurance.  The insurance obtained by Landlord shall
specifically cover the indemnification liability of Landlord under this
Lease.  Tenant shall, at Tenant’s
expense, comply with all insurance company requirements pertaining to the use
of the Premises.  If Tenant’s conduct or
use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance
policies then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Tenant, at
Tenant’s expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or
requirements of the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board
of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar body.

 

10.3                           Tenant’s Insurance. 
Tenant shall maintain the following coverages in the following
amounts.  Tenant may utilize blanket
policies of insurance (and combinations of primary and excess/umbrella
policies).

 

10.3.1                  Commercial General Liability Insurance
covering the insured against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and
property damage (including loss of use thereof) arising out of Tenant’s
operations, and contractual liabilities (covering the performance by Tenant of
its indemnity agreements) including a Broad Form endorsement covering the
insuring provisions of this Lease and the performance by Tenant of the
indemnity agreements set forth in Section 10.1 of this Lease, for
limits of liability not less than:

 

	
  Bodily
  Injury and

  	
   

  	
  $5,000,000 each occurrence

  	
   

  
	
  Property
  Damage Liability

  	
   

  	
  $5,000,000 annual aggregate

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Personal
  Injury Liability

  	
   

  	
  $5,000,000 each occurrence

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  $5,000,000 annual aggregate

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  0% Insured’s participation

  	
   

  

 

10.3.2                  Physical Damage Insurance covering (i) all
office furniture, business and trade fixtures, office equipment, free-standing
cabinet work, movable partitions, merchandise and all other items of Tenant’s
property on the Premises installed by, for, or at the expense of Tenant, (ii)
the “Tenant Improvements,” as that term is defined in Section 2.1 of the
Tenant Work Letter, and any other improvements which exist in the Premises as
of the Lease Commencement Date (excluding the Base Building) (the “Original Improvements”), and (iii) all
other improvements, alterations and additions to the Premises installed by or
for Tenant.  Such insurance shall be
written on “special causes” of loss or damage basis, for the full replacement
cost value (subject to reasonable deductible amounts) new without deduction for
depreciation of the covered items and in amounts that meet any co-insurance
clauses of the policies of insurance and shall include coverage for damage or
other loss caused by fire or other peril including, but not limited to,
vandalism and malicious mischief, theft, water damage of any type, including
sprinkler leakage, bursting or stoppage of pipes, and explosion, and providing
business interruption coverage for a period of one year.

 

10.3.3                  Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s
Liability or other similar insurance pursuant to all applicable state and local
statutes and regulations.

 

10.4                           Form of Policies.  The
minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Tenant under this Lease
shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease.  Such insurance shall (i) name Landlord as an
additional insured,; (ii) specifically cover the liability assumed by Tenant
under this Lease, including, but not limited to, obligations under Section 10.1
of this Lease; (iii) be issued by an insurance company having a rating of not
less than A-VIII in Best’s Insurance Guide or which is otherwise acceptable to
Landlord and licensed to do business in the State of California; (iv) provide
that said insurance shall not be canceled unless thirty (30) days’ (ten (10)
days in the event of nonpayment of premiums) prior written notice shall have
been given to Landlord.  Tenant shall
deliver said certificates of policies required hereunder to Landlord on or
before the Lease Commencement Date and at least ten (10) days before the
expiration dates thereof.  If either
party fails to carry the amounts and types of insurance required to be carried
by it pursuant to this Lease, such failure shall be deemed to be a covenant and
agreement by such party to self-insure with respect to the type and amount of
insurance which such party so failed to carry, with full waiver of subrogation
with respect thereto.  In the event
Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such policies or
certificate, Landlord may, after delivery of five (5) business days’
notice to Tenant, at Landlord’s option, procure such policies for the account
of Tenant, and the reasonable cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord within
five (5) days after delivery to Tenant of bills therefor.

 

10.5                           Subrogation. 
Landlord and Tenant intend that their respective property loss risks
shall be borne by reasonable insurance carriers to the extent above provided,
and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to look solely to, and seek recovery only
from, their respective insurance carriers in the event of a property loss to
the extent that

 

19

 

such
coverage is agreed to be provided hereunder. 
The parties each hereby waive all rights and claims against each other
for such losses, and waive all rights of subrogation of their respective
insurers, provided such waiver of subrogation shall not affect the right to the
insured to recover thereunder.  The
parties agree that their respective insurance policies are now, or shall be,
endorsed such that the waiver of subrogation shall not affect the right of the
insured to recover thereunder, so long as no material additional premium is
charged therefor.

 

10.6                           Additional Insurance Obligations. 
Tenant shall carry and maintain during the entire Lease Term, at Tenant’s
sole cost and expense, increased amounts of the insurance required to be
carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article 10 and such other
reasonable types of insurance coverage and in such reasonable amounts covering
the Premises and Tenant’s operations therein, as may be reasonably requested by
Landlord.  Notwithstanding any provisions
of this Lease to the contrary, the obligations of Tenant to provide increased
or new insurance hereunder shall be limited to the extent the same is (i) then
customarily required by landlords of Comparable Buildings in connection with
comparable tenants occupying comparable sized premises and (ii) reasonably
available for purchase by Tenant at a commercially reasonable cost.

 

ARTICLE 11

 

DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

 

11.1                           Repair of Damage to Premises
by Landlord.  Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any
damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty.  If the Premises or any Common Areas serving
or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty,
Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for
insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and
subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the Base
Building, Original Improvements and Alterations (subject to the remaining terms
of this Section 11.1), and such Common Areas.  Such restoration shall be to substantially
the same condition of the Base Building, Original Improvements and Alterations,
and the Common Areas prior to the casualty (subject to the remaining terms of
this Section 11.1), except for modifications required by zoning and
building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Building or
Project or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by
Landlord, which are consistent with the character of the Project, provided that
access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not
be materially impaired.  Upon the
occurrence of any damage to the Premises, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and
expense (provided that Tenant shall assign to Landlord all proceed of Tenant’s
insurance relating to the Original Improvements and Alterations), repair any
injury or damage to the Original Improvements and Alterations installed in the
Premises and shall return such Original Improvements and Alterations to their
original condition; provided, however that (i) Tenant shall be responsible for
paying for any shortfall in insurance proceeds necessary to rebuild the
Original Improvements and Alterations to the condition required by this Section 11.1
(except to the extent that Landlord’s insurance covers any portion of the
Original Improvements and Alterations, in which case Landlord shall use such
proceeds for the restoration of the Original Improvements and Alterations);
(ii) Landlord shall in no event be required to spend more than the amount of
insurance proceeds received by Landlord plus any funds paid by Tenant to
restore the Original Improvements and Alterations; and (iii) Landlord shall
have no responsibility with respect to Tenant’s personal property, furniture,
fixtures or equipment, all of which shall be restored by Tenant.  Prior to the commencement of construction,
Landlord shall submit to Tenant, for Tenant’s review and approval, all plans,
specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Tenant shall
reasonably approve the contractors to perform such improvement work.  If such fire or other casualty shall have
damaged the Premises or Common Areas rendering the Premises unfit for occupancy
for the Permitted Use, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of
Rent, during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy
for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and not occupied for the conduct
of business by Tenant as a result thereof. 
Tenant’s right to rent abatement pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall continue until the restoration of the Base Building, the Tenant
Improvements and the Common Areas have been substantially completed and a
certificate of occupancy has been issued. 
Landlord shall be entitled to receive a supervision fee calculated in
the same manner as the “Landlord Supervision Fee” (as defined in Section 4.3.2
of the Tenant Work Letter) in connection with any reconstruction by Landlord.

 

11.2                           Landlord’s Option to Repair. 
Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease,
Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises, Building and/or
Project, and instead terminate this Lease, by notifying Tenant in writing of
such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of discovery of the
damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant one hundred
twenty (120) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the
Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, and one or more
of the following conditions is present: (i) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment,
repairs cannot reasonably be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days
after the date of discovery of the damage (when such repairs are made without
the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii)  except for an amount not to exceed the “Threshold
Amount,” as that term is defined below, the damage to the Base Building and
Common Areas (as opposed to the Original Improvements and Alterations in the
Premises) is not fully covered by Landlord’s insurance policies (or would have
been covered had Landlord carried the insurance required by the terms of this
Lease); or (iii) the damage occurs during the last nine (9) months of the
Lease Term, and Tenant elects not to exercise its Option pursuant to Section 2.2
hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord’s
termination right as provided above, and the repairs cannot, in the reasonable
opinion of Landlord, be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after
the date of discovery of the damage, Tenant may elect, no earlier than sixty
(60) days after the date of discovery of the damage and not later than one
hundred twenty (120) days after the date of discovery of such damage, to
terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date
specified in the notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor
more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date such notice is given by
Tenant.  In addition, if the Lease has
not been terminated by either party, and such repairs are not completed within
ninety (90) days following the period estimated for repair at the time such
repairs were commenced, then Tenant shall have the right, within five (5)
business days after the end of

 

20

 

such
90-day period, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective
as of the date specified in the notice, which date shall not be less than
thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date
such notice is given by Tenant (provided that, if within five (5) business days
after receipt of such notice, Landlord delivers Tenant a notice stating that,
in the good faith opinion of Landlord such repairs will be completed within
thirty (30) additional days, then Tenant’s termination notice shall be
suspended for 30-days, and, if the repairs are completed within such period,
the termination notice shall be null and void, and this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect.  For purposes of
this Section 11.2, the “Threshold
Amount” shall equal $500,000; provided, however, that such amount
shall be reduced by an amount equal to $4,167 on the first day of each month
during the Lease Term, and in the event that Tenant exercises the Option, then
as of the commencement of the Option Term, the Threshold Amount shall equal
$500,000 and shall be reduced by $8,333 on the first day of each month during
such Option Term.

 

11.3                           Waiver of Statutory
Provisions.  The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11,
constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any
and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the
Building or the Project, and any statute or regulation of the State of
California, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the
California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning
damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the
parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall
have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any
part of the Premises, the Building or the Project.

 

ARTICLE 12

 

NONWAIVER

 

No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by
either party hereto unless expressly waived in a writing signed thereby.  The waiver by either party hereto of any
breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed
to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of same or any other term, covenant or
condition herein contained.  The
subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of
this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so
accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the
time of acceptance of such Rent.  No
acceptance of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed a
waiver of Landlord’s right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any
endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying
such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may
accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover
the full amount due.  No receipt of
monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any
way alter the length of the Lease Term or of Tenant’s right of possession
hereunder, or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or
extend the Lease Term or affect any notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of
such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the
commencement of a suit, or after final judgment for possession of the Premises,
Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall
not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.

 

ARTICLE 13

 

CONDEMNATION

 

If the whole or more than twenty-five percent (25%)
of the rentable area of the Premises or Building shall be taken by power of
eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or
quasi-public use or purpose, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other
instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord
shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession
is required to be surrendered to the authority. 
If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of
the Premises is taken, or if access to or use of the Premises is substantially
impaired, in each case for a period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days,
Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date
possession is required to be surrendered to the authority.  Tenant shall not because of such taking
assert any claim against Landlord or the authority for any compensation because
of such taking and Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award or payment in
connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any
separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant’s personal property
and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the
Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for moving expenses,
provided that in each event that such claim by Tenant is payable to Tenant or
is otherwise separately identifiable.  All
Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination.  If any part of the Premises shall be taken,
and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent shall be proportionately
abated.  Tenant hereby waives any and all
rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of The
California Code of Civil Procedure. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 13,
in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a
period of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease shall not
terminate but the Base Rent and the Additional Rent shall be abated for the
period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable
square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of
the Premises.  Landlord shall be entitled
to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking.

 

ARTICLE 14

 

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

14.1                           Transfers. 
Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign,
mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or
otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any
assignment, or other transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder, sublet
the Premises or

 

21

 

any
part thereof, or enter into any license or concession agreements or otherwise
permit the occupancy or use of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons
other than Tenant and its employees and contractors (all of the foregoing are
hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfers” and any person to whom any Transfer is made or
sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Transferee”).  If Tenant desires Landlord’s consent to any
Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the “Transfer Notice”) shall include (i) the
proposed effective date of the Transfer, (ii) a description of the portion of
the Premises to be transferred (the “Subject
Space”), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and the
consideration therefor, including calculation of the “Transfer Premium”, as that term is defined
in Section 14.3 below, in connection with such Transfer, the name
and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing executed
and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including
all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer, and
(iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee or any other
information which will reasonably enable Landlord to determine the financial
responsibility of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee’s business
and proposed use of the Subject Space. 
Any Transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent shall, at
Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s
option, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease.  Whether or not Landlord consents to any
proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable review and processing
fees, as well as any reasonable professional fees (including, without
limitation, attorneys’, accountants’, architects’, engineers’ and consultants’
fees) incurred by Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written request by
Landlord, provided that (I) in no event shall such fees and costs exceed
$2,500.00 for a Transfer, and (II) no such fees and costs shall be due in
connection with an assignment or sublease which does not require the consent of
Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Article 14.

 

14.2                           Landlord’s Consent. 
Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any
proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified
in the Transfer Notice.  Landlord shall
grant or deny its consent to a proposed Transfer within twenty (20) days
following the date Landlord receives the Transfer Notice.  Any denial of Landlord’s consent shall be
accompanied by a statement indicating the reasonable grounds upon which
Landlord denied such consent.  In the
event that Landlord shall fail to grant or deny its consent within the
foregoing twenty (20) day period, and shall fail to grant or deny its consent
within three (3) business days following receipt of notice thereof from Tenant,
Landlord’s consent shall be deemed granted. 
The parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease
and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed
Transfer only where one or more of the following apply:

 

14.2.1                  The Transferee is of a character or
reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of
the Building or the Project;

 

14.2.2                  The Transferee intends to use the Subject
Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;

 

14.2.3                  The Transferee is either a governmental
agency or instrumentality thereof;

 

14.2.4                  The Transferee is not a party of reasonable
financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to
be undertaken in connection with the Transfer on the date consent is requested;
or

 

14.2.5                  The proposed Transfer would cause a violation
of another lease for space in the Project that exists as of the date of this
Lease, or would give an occupant of the Project a right to cancel its lease
(based upon a right existing under the subject tenant’s lease as of the date of
this Lease); or

 

14.2.6                  Either the proposed Transferee, or any person
or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under
common control with, the proposed Transferee, is negotiating with Landlord and
not more than two (2) other landlords to lease space in the Project and such
other landlords’ projects, and Landlord retains space in the Building
reasonably capable of satisfying the proposed Transferee’s requirements;
provided, however, that the terms of this Section 14.2.6 shall not
apply if Tenant has sold its all of its stock or assets to a third party and
the successor or resulting entity, as the case may be, seeks to Transfer the
entire Premises for the entire remainder of the Term.

 

If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the
terms of this Section 14.2, Tenant may within six (6) months after
Landlord’s consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-month period,
enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially
the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished
by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease,
provided that if there are any material changes in the terms and conditions
from those specified in the Transfer Notice (i) such that Landlord would
initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2,
or (ii) which would cause the proposed Transfer to be materially more favorable
to the Transferee than the terms set forth in Tenant’s original Transfer
Notice, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and
other action under this Article 14.

 

14.3                           Transfer Premium.  If
Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties
hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of
any “Transfer Premium,” as that term is defined in this Section 14.3,
received by Tenant from such Transferee. 
No Transfer Premium shall be due in connection with a sublease or
assignment to an Affiliate.  “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent,
additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in connection
with the Transfer in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant
under this Lease during the term of the Transfer on a per rentable square foot
basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting the
reasonable expenses (“Transfer Costs”)
incurred by Tenant for (i) any changes, alterations and improvements to the
Premises in connection with the Transfer, (ii) any free base rent reasonably
provided to the Transferee, (iii) any reasonable brokerage commissions and
attorneys fees incurred in connection with the Transfer, (iv) marketing
costs; (v) attorneys’ fees paid by Tenant

 

22

 

 

to Landlord in connection with the Transfer, (vi) tenant improvement
allowances granted in connection with the Transfer, (vii) free rent and
concessions granted to the Transferee, and (viii) the amount of Base Rent and
Additional Rent paid by Tenant to Landlord with respect to the Subject Space
during the period commencing on the later of (A) the date Tenant contracts with
a reputable broker to market the Subject Space, and (B) the date Tenant vacates
the Subject Space, until the commencement of the term of the Transfer.  “Transfer
Premium” shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus
money or other cash consideration paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection
with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services
rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment,
or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such
Transfer.  Tenant shall not artificially
structure any Transfer as a subterfuge in order to intentionally circumvent the
provisions of this Section 14.3. 
Tenant shall be required to pay Landlord its portion of any Transfer
Premium on a monthly basis when received by Tenant, provided that Tenant shall
be entitled to recover all of its Transfer Costs prior to owing to Landlord any
Transfer Premium pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.3.

 

14.4                           Effect of Transfer.  If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the
terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been
waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any
further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver
to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all
documentation pertaining to the Transfer (iv) Tenant shall furnish upon
Landlord’s request a complete statement setting forth in detail the computation
of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer,
and (v) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with
respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve
Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from any liability under this Lease,
including, without limitation, in connection with the Subject Space.  Within two (2) years of any Transfer,
Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all
reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to
such Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof.  If the Transfer Premium respecting any
Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days
after demand, pay the deficiency, and if understated by more than seven percent
(7%), Tenant shall pay Landlord’s costs of such audit.

 

14.5                           Occurrence of Default.  Any Transfer hereunder shall be subordinate
and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be
terminated during the term of any Transfer, Landlord shall have the right to
treat such Transfer as cancelled and repossess the Subject Space by any lawful
means.  If Tenant shall be in default
under this Lease after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period,
Landlord is hereby authorized to direct any Transferee to make all payments
under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord
shall apply towards Tenant’s obligations under this Lease) until such default
is cured.  Such Transferee shall rely on
any representation by Landlord that Tenant is in default hereunder, without any
need for confirmation thereof by Tenant. 
Upon any assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing all
obligations and covenants of Tenant thereafter to be performed or observed
under this Lease.  No collection or
acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee shall be deemed a waiver of
any provision of this Article 14 or the approval of any Transferee
or a release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, whether
theretofore or thereafter accruing.  In
no event shall Landlord’s enforcement of any provision of this Lease against
any Transferee be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to enforce any term of
this Lease against Tenant or any other person. 
If Tenant’s obligations hereunder have been guaranteed, Landlord’s
consent to any Transfer shall not be effective unless the guarantor also
consents to such Transfer.

 

14.6                           Non-Transfers.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Article 14, neither (i) an assignment to a
transferee of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant, (ii)
an assignment of the Premises to a transferee which is the resulting entity of
a merger or consolidation of Tenant with another entity, nor (iii) an
assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an affiliate of
Tenant (an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control
with, Tenant) (the transferee in items (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall be
referred to as (an “Affiliate”),
shall be deemed a Transfer under this Article 14 of this Lease,
provided that (a) Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease
and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information reasonably
requested by Landlord regarding such transfer or transferee as set forth in
items (i) through (iii) above, (b) the net worth (calculated according to
generally accepted accounting principles) of the resulting entity is not less
than the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to the transfer; provided,
however, if such assignment or sublease is to an Affiliate which does not
satisfy the net worth criteria established in this Section 14.6,
Tenant may assign or sublease to such Affiliate and provide a guarantee to
Landlord which guarantees the obligations of such Affiliate under the
assignment or sublease, and (c) such assignment or sublease shall not be a
subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease.  “Control,”
as used in this Section 14.6, shall mean the ownership, directly or
indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting securities of, or
possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of
at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting interest in, any person or
entity.

 

ARTICLE 15

 

SURRENDER OF PREMISES;
OWNERSHIP AND

REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES

 

15.1                           Surrender of Premises.  No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent
or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an
acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is
specifically acknowledged in writing by Landlord.  The delivery of keys to the Premises to
Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender
of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys
are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant
shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon
request until this Lease shall

 

23

 

have been properly
terminated.  The voluntary or other
surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a
mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of
Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or
subtenancies affecting the Premises or terminate any or all such sublessees or
subtenancies.

 

15.2                           Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant.  Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or
upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the
provisions of this Article 15, quit and surrender possession of the
Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took
possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable
wear and tear, repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of
Landlord hereunder and casualty excepted. 
Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to
Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and
rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, business and trade fixtures,
free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions and other articles of personal
property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the
Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant,
and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and
Building resulting from such removal.

 

15.3                           Kitchen Equipment.  Tenant may use the existing kitchen equipment
(the “Kitchen Equipment”) located
in the Building, free of charge during the Lease Term, subject to the
following: (a) Landlord makes no representations, express or implied, regarding
the condition, suitability, operability or specifications of the Kitchen
Equipment, and Tenant shall accept the Kitchen Equipment in its “as-is”
condition with all faults and flaws except for Landlord’s “Equipment Covenant”
below; (b) Tenant shall maintain, operate, insure and assume all responsibility
for the Kitchen Equipment during the Lease Term, and Landlord shall have no
obligations with respect thereto; and (c) Landlord shall retain ownership of
the Kitchen Equipment during the Lease Term. 
Tenant may replace one or more items of the Kitchen Equipment during the
Lease Term; at the time of such replacement Tenant shall request of Landlord,
and Landlord shall advise Tenant, whether Landlord wishes the newly installed
items to be removed at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term,
or left in place and surrendered to Landlord with the Premises.  If Tenant replaces any item of the Kitchen
Equipment during the last five (5) years of the initial Lease Term and Landlord
elects to require Tenant to leave such replacement item in place at the
expiration or earlier termination of the initial Lease Term, Landlord shall
reimburse Tenant, upon the expiration or termination of the Lease Term, for the
unamortized portion of Tenant’s actual, reasonably documented cost for such
item, based on a five (5) year amortization schedule (for example, if
Tenant purchases a dishwasher for $500 in the sixth (6) year of the initial
Lease Term and Landlord requires that Tenant leave the dishwasher in place
rather than removing it, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, upon the expiration of
the initial Lease Term, $100 for the unamortized cost of such dishwasher).  If Tenant purchases a built-in appliance for the
kitchen that is not a replacement for an item of the existing Kitchen Equipment
but is an additional appliance: (i) Tenant shall retain ownership of such
appliance during the Lease Term; (ii) Tenant shall maintain, operate, insure
and assume all responsibility for such appliance during the Lease Term; and
(iii) at the expiration of the Lease Term Landlord may elect to either cause
Tenant to remove such appliance (and repair any damage caused by such removal)
or to leave such appliance in place, with Landlord to purchase such appliance
from Tenant for its then-market value as mutually agreed by Landlord and
Tenant.  If the Kitchen Equipment is not
in good working order for the first five (5) years of the initial Lease Term,
Landlord shall reimburse Tenant (the “Equipment
Covenant”) for Tenant’s actual, reasonably documented cost of
placing the Kitchen Equipment in good working order (including, if necessary,
replacing items which cannot reasonably be repaired), up to a maximum amount of
Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00).

 

ARTICLE 16

 

HOLDING OVER

 

16.1                           Holding Over  If Tenant holds over after the expiration of
the Lease Term or earlier termination thereof, with or without the express or
implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only,
and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term,
and in such case Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to one hundred
twenty-five (125%) of the Rent applicable during the last rental period of the
Lease Term under this Lease for the first one hundred twenty (120) days of any
such holdover, and one hundred fifty percent (150%) thereafter.  Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject
to every other applicable term, covenant and agreement contained herein.  Nothing contained in this Article 16
shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and
Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession
of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or
other termination of this Lease.  The
provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or
constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein
or at law.  If Tenant fails to surrender
the Premises within thirty (30) days following the termination or expiration of
this Lease, then, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing
therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless
from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liability
resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure
to surrender and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.

 

16.2                           Short Term Lease Extension.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in Section 16.1, above, Tenant shall have the right upon the
expiration of the initial Lease Term or Option Term, to extend the Lease
Expiration Date for a period of ninety (90) days (the “Short Term Lease Extension”), by giving
written notice to Landlord of such election not less than nine (9) months prior
to the scheduled Lease Expiration Date. 
Upon such election, the Lease Term shall be extended for a period of
ninety (90) days on all of the terms conditions of this Lease (the “Approved Holder-Over Period”), provided
that the Base Rent payable during the Approved Hold-Over Period shall be equal
to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Base Rent payable immediately prior to
the

 

24

 

scheduled Lease Expiration
Date.  If Tenant exercises its Short Term
Lease Extension at the end of the initial ten (10) year Lease Term as set forth
above, Tenant shall be deemed not to have exercised its Option (as set forth in
Section 2.2 above).

 

ARTICLE 17

 

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

 

Within
twenty (20) days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, which, as
submitted by Landlord, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E, attached hereto (or
such other form as may be reasonably required by any prospective mortgagee or
purchaser of the Project, or any portion thereof), indicating therein any
exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any
other information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee or
prospective mortgagee.   Any
such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser
of all or any portion of the Project. 
Within twenty (20) days following request by Tenant, Landlord shall
deliver a commercially reasonable form of estoppel certificate as may be
reasonably requested by Tenant or a purchaser or lender of Tenant, indicating
therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time.  At any time during the Lease Term (but no
more than once per year), if Tenant is not then a public company reporting
under applicable federal securities laws, Landlord may require Tenant to
provide Landlord with a current financial statement and financial statements of
the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year certified by an
officer of Tenant (which officer has reasonable knowledge of the financial
condition of Tenant) as correct and that the same have been prepared pursuant
to generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, or some
other commercially reasonable accounting practice.  If it is the normal practice of Tenant, such
statements shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant.  Landlord shall, within twenty (20) days
following request from Tenant, execute an estoppel certificate specifying that
(i) the Lease is in full force and effect and unmodified except as set forth in
the estoppel, (ii) the date through which Rent has been paid, (iii) whether
Landlord or Tenant is in default of the Lease, and (iv) other information
reasonably requested by Tenant.  Failure
of Landlord or Tenant to timely execute, acknowledge and deliver such estoppel
certificate or other instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises
and an acknowledgment by such party that statements included in the estoppel
certificate are true and correct, without exception.

 

ARTICLE 18

 

SUBORDINATION

 

Prior
to, and as a condition precedent to, the full execution and delivery of this
Lease, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a commercially reasonable
non-disturbance agreement in the form attached to this Lease as Exhibit F-1 from all currently existing
ground or underlying lessors, or any mortgagors, or lenders (the “Current Lenders”) which are set forth on Exhibit H attached hereto.  Landlord hereby represents and warrants to
Tenant that, other than the encumbrances held by the Current Lenders, there are
no other ground leases or deeds of trust encumbering the Building or Project.  Subject to the terms of this Article 18,
this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or
underlying leases of the Building or Project and to the lien of any mortgage,
trust deed or other encumbrances now or hereafter in force against the Building
or Project or any part thereof, if any, and to all renewals, extensions,
modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances
made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds,
unless the holders of such mortgages, trust deeds or other encumbrances, or the
lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that
this Lease be superior thereto.  Landlord
agrees to provide Tenant with a commercially reasonable non-disturbance
agreement in favor of Tenant, from any ground lessors or mortgage holders of
Landlord acquiring or modifying such interests at any time subsequent to the
execution and delivery of this Lease in consideration of, and as a condition
precedent to, Tenant’s agreement to be bound by Article 18 of the
Lease.  The parties hereby agree that the
form of non-disturbance agreement attached hereto as Exhibit F-2 is commercially
reasonable.  Such commercially reasonable
non-disturbance agreement(s) shall include the obligation of any such successor
ground lessor or mortgage holder to recognize Tenant’s rights specifically set
forth in this Lease, to offset certain amounts against Rent due hereunder, and
Landlord’s obligations to comply with the terms of this Lease, or to otherwise
receive certain credits against Rent as set forth in this Lease.  Subject to the foregoing, Tenant covenants
and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any
such mortgage or deed in lieu thereof (or if any ground lease is terminated),
to attorn, to the lienholder or purchaser or any successors thereto upon any
such foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof (or to the ground lessor), if so
requested to do so by such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor, and to
recognize such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor as the lessor under
this Lease, provided such lienholder or purchaser or ground lessor shall agree
to accept this Lease and not disturb Tenant’s occupancy, so long as this Lease
is not terminated.  Landlord’s interest
herein may be assigned as security at any time to any lienholder.  Tenant shall, within twenty (20) days of
request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord
may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or
superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or
underlying leases.

 

ARTICLE 19

 

DEFAULTS; REMEDIES

 

19.1                           Events of Default.  The occurrence of any of the following shall
constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant:

 

25

 

19.1.1                  Any
failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under
this Lease, or any part thereof, when due unless such failure is cured within
seven (7) days after written notice that such amounts are over-due and unpaid;
or

 

19.1.2                  Any
failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or
condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant where such
failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from
Landlord to Tenant; provided that if the nature of such default is such that
the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, Tenant
shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure
within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure such
default; or

 

19.1.3                  The
failure by Tenant to observe or perform according to the terms and conditions
of Articles 17 or 18 of this Lease where such failure continues
for more than ten (10) days after notice from Landlord; or

 

If
Tenant disputes that any amount is due and payable by Tenant pursuant to the
Lease, Tenant shall have the right, without waiving any of its rights at law or
in equity, to pay any such amount under protest and thereafter to seek recovery
of all or any part thereof by Landlord.

 

All
notices to be given pursuant to this Section 19 shall be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, the notice requirements of California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 1161.

 

19.2                           Remedies Upon Default.  Upon the occurrence of any event of default
by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to
Landlord at law or in equity (all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate
and cumulative), the option to pursue any one or more of the following
remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without
any notice or demand whatsoever.

 

19.2.1                  Terminate
this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to
Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any
other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon
and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other
person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being
liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and Landlord may
recover from Tenant the following:

 

(i)                                     The
worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent which has been earned at the time
of such termination; plus

 

(ii)                                  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 rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

 

(iii)                               The
worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the
balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

 

(iv)                              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.

 

The
term “rent” as used in this Section 19.2
shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid
by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to
others.  As used in Sections 19.2.1(i)
and (ii), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by
allowing interest at the rate set forth in Article 25 of this
Lease, but in no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest
permitted by law.  As used in Section 19.2.1(iii)
above, the “worth at the time of award”
shall be 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%).

 

19.2.2                  Landlord
shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor
may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover
rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject
only to reasonable limitations). 
Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on
account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without
terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this
Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.

 

19.2.3                  Landlord
shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be cumulative with
each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies
available under Sections 19.2.1 and 19.2.2, above, or any law or
other provision of this Lease), without prior demand or notice except as
required by applicable law, to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other
equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a
violation or breach of any provision hereof.

 

19.3                           Subleases of Tenant.  If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on
account of any default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 19,
Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses,
concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by
Tenant and affecting the Premises.

 

19.4                           Efforts to Relet.  No re-entry or repossession, repairs,
maintenance, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, appointment of a
receiver to protect Landlord’s interests hereunder, or any other action or

 

26

 

omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to
terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, or to accept a surrender
of the Premises, nor shall same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part
from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, unless express written notice of
such intention is sent by Landlord to Tenant. 
The foregoing shall not constitute a waiver of any of Tenant’s rights
under applicable law, all of which are hereby expressly reserved.

 

19.5                           Landlord Default.

 

19.5.1                  General.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Lease, Landlord shall not be in default in the performance of any
obligation required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease unless
Landlord fails to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after receipt
of notice from Tenant, specifying in detail Landlord’s failure to perform;
provided, however, if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more
than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not
be in default under this Lease if it shall commence such performance within
such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursue the same to
completion.  Upon such default by
Landlord under this Lease, Tenant may, except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Lease to the contrary, exercise any of its rights provided at
law or in equity.

 

19.5.2                  Abatement of Rent.  In the event that Tenant is prevented from
using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, as a result of
(i) any repair, maintenance or alteration performed by Landlord, or which
Landlord failed to perform as required by this Lease, which substantially
interferes with Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises, (ii) any other
failure to provide services, utilities or access to the Premises as required by
this Lease, or (iii) the presence of Hazardous Materials not brought on
the Project by Tenant (any such set of circumstances as set forth in items (i),
(ii) or (iii), above, to be known as an “Abatement
Event”), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such Abatement
Event, and if such Abatement Event continues for four (4) consecutive business
days after Landlord’s receipt of any such notice, or occurs on more than ten
(10) non-consecutive business days in any 12 month period (in either case, the “Eligibility Period”), then the Base Rent,
Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses, and Tenant’s obligation to pay for parking
shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, from the date on which the
Abatement Event first occurred for such time that Tenant continues to be so
prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or a portion thereof, in
the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant
is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of
the Premises; provided, however, in the event that Tenant is prevented from
using, and does not use, a portion of the Premises for a period of time from
the date on which the Abatement Event first occurred and the remaining portion
of the Premises is not sufficient to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its
business therein, and if Tenant does not conduct its business from such
remaining portion, then for such time after the occurrence of the Abatement
Event during which Tenant is so prevented from effectively conducting its
business therein, the Base Rent and Additional Rent and Tenant’s obligation to
pay for parking for the entire Premises shall be abated for such time as Tenant
continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises.  If, however, Tenant reoccupies any portion of
the Premises during such period, the Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion,
based on the proportion that the rentable area of such reoccupied portion of
the Premises bears to the total rentable area of the Premises, shall be payable
by Tenant from the date Tenant reoccupies such portion of the Premises.  Such right to abate Base Rent, Additional
Rent, and Tenant’s parking charges shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy
at law or in equity to abate rent for an Abatement Event.  If Tenant’s right to abatement occurs because
of an eminent domain taking and/or because of damage or destruction to the
Premises, the Building, the Project’s parking facility, and/or the Project,
Tenant’s abatement period shall continue until Tenant has been given sufficient
time, and sufficient access to the Premises, to rebuild such portion it is
required to rebuild, to install its property, furniture, fixtures, and
equipment to the extent the same shall have been removed as a result of such
damage or destruction and to move in over a weekend.  Except as provided in this Section 19.5.2
and elsewhere in this Lease, nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to
mean that Tenant is excused from paying Rent due hereunder.  If Landlord has not cured such Abatement
Event within twelve (12) months after receipt of notice from Tenant, Tenant
shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivery of thirty (30) days’
notice to Landlord (the “Abatement Event
Termination Notice”).  Such
termination shall be effective as of a date set forth in the Abatement Event
Termination Notice (the “Abatement Event
Termination Date”), which Abatement Event Termination Date shall not
be less than thirty (30) days, and not more than one (1) year,
following the delivery of the Abatement Event Termination Notice.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 19.5.2
to the contrary, Tenant’s Abatement Event Termination Notice shall be null and
void (but only in connection with the first notice sent by Tenant with respect
to each separate Abatement Event) if Landlord cures such Abatement Event within
such thirty (30) day period following receipt of the Abatement Event Termination
Notice.

COVENANT OF QUIET
ENJOYMENT

 

Landlord
covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent, charges for services and other
payments herein reserved and on keeping, observing and performing all the other
terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements herein contained on the
part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, shall, during the Lease
Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject to the

with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a
security deposit (the “Security Deposit”)
in the amount set forth in Section 8 of the Summary, as security
for the faithful

 

27

 

performance
by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease.  If Tenant defaults with respect to any
provisions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions
relating to the payment of Rent, the removal of property and the repair of
resultant damage, Landlord may, upon five (5) business days notice to Tenant,
but shall not be required to, apply all or any part of the Security Deposit for
the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default and Tenant shall, within
thirty (30) days after demand therefor, restore the Security Deposit to its
original amount.  Any unapplied portion
of the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant, or, at Landlord’s option,
to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder, within thirty (30) days
following the expiration of the Lease Term. 
Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit.  Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7
of the California Civil Code, or any successor statute, and all other
provisions of law, now or hereafter in effect, which (i) establish the
time frame by which a landlord must refund a security deposit under a lease,
and/or (ii) provide that a landlord may claim from a security deposit only
those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to
repair damage caused by a tenant or to clean the premises, it being agreed that
Lessor may, in addition, claim those sums specified in this Section above
and/or those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Lessor for any loss or
damage caused by Lessee’s default of the Lease, as amended hereby, including,
but not limited to, all damages or rent due upon termination of Lease pursuant
to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code.

SIGNS

 

23.1                           Building Sign.  Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost, shall have the
exclusive right to two (2) (one facing the Ventura Freeway and one facing Agoura
Road), top-of-the-building signs on the Building displaying Tenant’s name
and/or logo (the “Building Top Signs”).  Tenant’s Building Top Sign shall be subject
to Landlord’s approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed) as to size, design, location, graphics, materials, colors and
similar specifications and shall be consistent with the exterior design,
materials and appearance of the Project and the Project’s signage program and
shall be further subject to all applicable government laws, rules, regulations,
codes and other approvals.  Tenant’s
right to maintain the Building Top Sign shall be contingent upon Tenant’s
directly leasing from Landlord the entire Building.  Tenant’s right to maintain the Building Top
Sign may be assigned to any assignee or sublessee of the Original Tenant, its
Affiliates, and/or any Permitted Assignee occupying more than fifty percent
(50%) of the Premises, provided that (i) Tenant shall be responsible for the
cost of changing the Building Top Sign; and (ii) any new sign may not contain
an “Objectionable Name” (as
defined below).  The cost incurred in
connection with the initial purchase and installation of the Building Top Signs
and the cost to operate the Building Top Signs shall be paid by Tenant.  Tenant shall be responsible for maintaining
Tenant’s Building Top Signs in good condition and repair throughout the Lease
Term, at Tenant’s sole cost.  Upon the
expiration of the Lease Term, or other earlier termination of the Lease, or in
the event the conditions precedent to the grant of Tenant’s Building Top Signs
set forth above are no longer satisfied, Tenant shall remove the Building Top
Signs and Tenant shall be responsible for any and all costs associated with the
removal of the Building Top Signs, including, but not limited to, the cost to
repair and restore the Project to its original condition, normal wear and tear
excepted.  The term “Objectionable Name” shall mean any name
which relates to an entity which is of a character or reputation, or is
associated with a political orientation or faction, which is inconsistent with
the quality of the Project, or which would otherwise reasonably offend a
prudent landlord of the Comparable Buildings.

 

23.2                           Monument Sign.  Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost, shall have the
exclusive right to construct a monument sign in front of the Building
displaying Tenant’s name and/or logo (the “Monument
Sign”).  Tenant’s Monument
sign shall be subject to Landlord’s approval (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed) as to size, design, location, graphics,
materials, colors and similar specifications and shall be consistent with the
exterior design, materials and appearance of the Project and the Project’s
signage program and shall be further subject to all applicable government laws,
rules, regulations, codes and other approvals. 
Tenant’s right to maintain the Monument sign shall be contingent upon
Tenant’s directly leasing from Landlord the entire Premises.  Tenant’s right to maintain the Monument sign
may be assigned to any assignee or sublessee of the Original Tenant, its
Affiliates, and/or any Permitted Assignee occupying more than fifty percent
(50%) of the Premises, provided
that (i) Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of changing the Monument
Sign; and (ii) any new sign may not contain an Objectionable Name.  The cost incurred in connection with the
initial purchase and installation of the Monument sign and the cost to operate
the Monument sign shall be paid by Tenant. 
Tenant shall be responsible for maintaining Tenant’s Monument sign in
good condition and repair throughout the Lease Term, at Tenant’s sole
cost.  Upon the expiration of the Lease
Term, or other earlier termination of the Lease, or in the event the conditions
precedent to the grant of Tenant’s Monument sign set forth above are no longer
satisfied, Tenant shall remove the Monument sign and Tenant shall be
responsible for any and all costs associated with the removal of the Monument
sign, including, but not limited to, the cost to repair and restore the Project
to its original condition, normal wear and tear excepted.

 

23.3                           Prohibited Signage and Other Items.  Other than as provided in this Article 23,
any signs, notices, logos, pictures, names or advertisements which are installed
on the exterior of the Building and that have not been individually approved by
Landlord may be removed without notice by Landlord at the sole expense of
Tenant.  Except as described in this Article 23,
Tenant may not install any signs on the exterior or roof of the Project nor in
the Common Areas.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to install signage on and above the
entry doors to the Building, as well as directional signage guiding visitors to
the main Building entrance.    Any
signs, window coverings, or blinds (even if the same are located behind the
Landlord-approved window coverings for the Building), or other items visible
from the exterior of the Premises or Building, shall be subject to the prior
written approval of Landlord, in its sole discretion.

23.4                           Building Directory.  Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost, may install a
building directory in the lobby of the Building.

 

ARTICLE 24

 

COMPLIANCE WITH LAW

 

Tenant
shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises or
the Project which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or
other governmental rule, regulation or requirement now in force or which may
hereafter be enacted or promulgated (“Applicable
Laws”).  Subject to Landlord’s
obligations as set forth in this Article 24, at its sole cost and
expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with all such governmental measures which
relate to (i) Tenant’s use of the Premises, or (ii) the Alterations or Tenant
Improvements, or (iii) the Base Building, Building Systems and Building
Structure, but only to the extent such obligations are triggered by Tenant’s
Alterations or Tenant’s specific use of the Premises for other than general
office use.  Landlord shall, at its sole
cost and expense, comply with laws relating to the Base Building and the Common
Areas unless such obligations are Tenant’s as set forth above; provided,
however, that Landlord’s obligation to comply with such Applicable Laws shall
only apply to the extent that failure to comply with therewith would (I) impose
an unreasonable health hazard to the occupants of the Premises, (II) prohibit
Tenant from obtaining or maintaining a certificate of occupancy for the
Premises, (III) unreasonably and materially affect the safety of any tenants,
occupants, invitees, employees or any other person at the Building, or (IV)
otherwise materially adversely affect Tenant and/or the Premises (e.g.,
materially increase the risk of liability or increased financial cost).  Should any standard or regulation now or
hereafter be imposed on Tenant by a state, federal or local governmental body
charged with the establishment, regulation and enforcement of occupational, health
or safety standards for employers, employees, or tenants, then Tenant agrees,
at its sole cost and expense, to comply promptly with such standards or
regulations.

 

ARTICLE 25

 

LATE CHARGES

 

If any
installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by
Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) days after notice that said
amount is over-due more than once in any Lease Year, then Tenant shall pay to
Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount.  The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent
and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other
rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as
liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner.  In addition to the late charge described
above, any Rent or other amounts owing hereunder which are not paid within ten
(10) days after the date they are due shall bear interest from the date when
due until paid at a rate per annum (the “Interest
Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) the annual “Bank Prime Loan” rate cited in the Federal
Reserve Statistical Release Publication G.13(415), published on the first
Tuesday of each calendar month (or such other comparable index as Landlord and
Tenant shall reasonably agree upon if such rate ceases to be published) plus
two (2) percentage points, and (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable
law.

 

ARTICLE 26

 

LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO
CURE DEFAULT; PAYMENTS BY TENANT

 

26.1                           Landlord’s Cure.  All covenants and agreements to be kept or
performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s
sole cost and expense and without any reduction of Rent, except to the extent,
if any, otherwise expressly provided herein. 
If Tenant shall fail to perform any obligation under this Lease, and
such failure shall continue in excess of the time allowed under Section 19.1.2,
above, unless a specific time period is otherwise stated in this Lease,
Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform
any such act on Tenant’s part without waiving its rights based upon any default
of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligations hereunder.

 

26.2                           Tenant’s Reimbursement.  Except as may be specifically provided to the
contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days
following demand by Landlord to Tenant, sums equal to expenditures reasonably
made and obligations reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with the
remedying by Landlord of Tenant’s defaults pursuant to the provisions of Section 26.1.  Tenant’s obligations under this Section 26.2
shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.

 

ARTICLE 27

 

ENTRY BY LANDLORD

 

Landlord
reserves the right at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to Tenant
(except in the case of an emergency) to enter the Premises to (i) inspect them;
(ii) show the Premises to prospective purchasers, or to current or prospective
mortgagees, ground or underlying lessors or insurers or, during the last nine
(9) months of the Lease Term if Tenant has not exercised its right to renew the
initial Lease as provided herein, to prospective tenants; (iii) post notices of
nonresponsibility; or (iv) make repairs to the Premises (to the extent
permitted pursuant to the terms of this Lease), or to the Building or the
Building’s systems and equipment. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 27,
Landlord may enter the Premises at any time to (A) perform services required of
Landlord, including janitorial service; and (B) take possession due to any
breach of this Lease in the manner provided herein and in compliance with
applicable law.  Any such entries shall
be performed by Landlord as expeditiously as reasonably possible and in a
manner so as to minimize any interference with the conduct of

 

29

 

Tenant’s
business.  Landlord
may make any such entries, and may take such reasonable steps as required to
accomplish the stated purposes.  For each
of the above purposes, Landlord shall at all times have a key with which to
unlock all the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and
special security areas designated in advance by Tenant.  In an emergency, Landlord shall have the
right to use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and
to the Premises.  No provision of this
Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs,
alterations or decorations except as otherwise expressly agreed to be performed
by Landlord herein.  Tenant may designate
certain areas of the Premises as “Secured
Areas” should Tenant require such
areas for the purpose of securing certain valuable property or confidential
information.  In connection with the
foregoing, Landlord shall not enter such Secured Areas except in the event of
an emergency.  Landlord need not clean
any area designated by Tenant as a Secured Area and shall only maintain or
repair such secured areas to the extent (i) such repair or maintenance is
required in order to maintain and repair the Building Structure and/or the
Building Systems; (ii) as required by Applicable Law, or (iii) in response
to specific requests by Tenant and in accordance with a schedule reasonably
designated by Tenant, subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval.

 

ARTICLE 28

 

TENANT PARKING

 

Tenant
shall have the use of the number of parking spaces set forth in Section 9
of the Summary, on a monthly basis throughout the Lease Term, which parking
spaces shall be located in the surface parking areas of the Project surrounding
the Building, and/or in future parking areas or structures to be constructed in
conjunction with the development of the portion of the Project immediately east
of the Building.  There shall be no
charge to Tenant for such parking spaces during the Lease Term.  Tenant shall abide by all reasonable rules
and regulations which are prescribed from time to time for the orderly
operation and use of the parking facility where the parking spaces are located,
including any sticker or other identification system established by Landlord
and the prohibition of vehicle repair and maintenance
activities in the Project’s parking facilities).  Tenant shall cooperate in seeing that Tenant’s
employees and visitors also comply with such rules and regulations.  Landlord shall cause (i) at least 250 of
Tenant’s parking spaces to be available by the Lease Commencement Date, and
(ii) the remainder of Tenant’s parking spaces to be available within fifteen
(15) days following the Lease Commencement Date (provided that Tenant
acknowledges that for a period not to exceed six (6) months following the Lease
Commencement Date such parking spaces may initially be in an unpaved area in
the Project).  Landlord specifically
reserves the right to change the size, configuration, design, layout and all other
aspects of the Project parking facility and to construct a new parking
structure at the Project on the 29901 Parcel at any time and Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may, on a temporary basis or in
connection with Landlord’s compliance with Applicable Laws, without incurring
any liability to Tenant and without any abatement of Rent under this Lease
(except as specifically set forth in Section 19.5.2 of this Lease),
to the extent reasonably required, from time to time, restrict access to the
Project parking facility and relocate Tenant’s parking spaces for purposes of
permitting or facilitating any such construction, alteration or
improvements.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, at all times during construction of any new parking structure or Landlord’s
conduct of other construction or development activities on the 29901 Parcel,
Landlord shall provide Tenant with the number of parking spaces described in Section 9
of the Summary in the following order of priority to the extent reasonably
possible:  (a) at the Project, (b) on
adjacent properties, (c) valet or stacked parking at the Project, (d) on
non-adjacent properties within 400 yards of the Building, or (e) on
non-adjacent properties farther than 400 yards from the Building with shuttle
service during business days for use by Tenant’s employees and visitors.  In addition, if Landlord is unable to obtain
governmental approvals for the portion of Tenant’s parking spaces that are to
be provided at the 29901 Parcel, then for a period not to exceed six (6) months
following the Lease Commencement Date, Landlord shall provide Tenant with the
number of parking spaces described in Section 9 of the Summary in the
order of priority described in the preceding sentence.  The cost of implementing valet or stacked
parking solutions or providing shuttle service as described above shall be
borne solely by Landlord.  If Landlord
constructs a new parking structure at the Project, Landlord shall have the
right to move some of Tenant’s parking spaces to such new parking
structure.  Landlord may delegate its
responsibilities hereunder to a parking operator in which case such parking
operator shall have all the rights of control attributed hereby to the
Landlord.  The parking spaces utilized by
Tenant pursuant to this Article 28 are provided to Tenant solely
for use by Tenant’s own personnel, vendors, contractors, agents, and visitors,
and such spaces may not be transferred, assigned, subleased or otherwise
alienated by Tenant separate and apart from a transfer of Tenant’s interest in
this Lease, without Landlord’s prior approval. 
Tenant shall have access to the parking spaces twenty-four hours per
day, seven days per week, except in the event of an emergency.

apply either to corporations or partnerships or individuals, men or women, as
the case may require, shall in all cases be assumed as though in each case
fully expressed.  The captions of
Articles and Sections are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to

only of Landlord and of Tenant, but also of their respective heirs, personal
representatives, successors or assigns, provided this clause shall not permit
any assignment by Tenant contrary to the provisions of Article 14
of this Lease.

 

29.3                           No Air Rights.  No rights to any view or to light or air over

or ground lessor, Tenant agrees to execute a short form of Lease and deliver

within twenty (20) business days following the request therefore.

 

29.5                           Transfer of Landlord’s Interest.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the
right to transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Project or Building
and in this Lease, and Tenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer to
an entity which has contractually assumed the obligations of Landlord under
this Lease (which assumption has been provided to Tenant in writing), Landlord
shall automatically be released from all liability under this Lease that has
not accrued as of the date of the Transfer and Tenant agrees to look solely to
such transferee for the performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder after
the date of transfer, provided such transferee shall have fully assumed and be
liable for all obligations of this Lease to be performed by Landlord, including
the return of any Security Deposit, and Tenant shall attorn to such
transferee.  Tenant further acknowledges
that Landlord may assign its interest in this Lease to a mortgage lender as
additional security and agrees that such an assignment shall not release
Landlord from its obligations hereunder and that Tenant shall continue to look
to Landlord for the performance of its obligations hereunder.

 

29.6                           Landlord’s Title.  Landlord’s title is and always shall be
paramount to the title of Tenant. 
Nothing herein contained shall empower Tenant to do any act which can,
shall or may encumber the title of Landlord.

 

29.7                           Relationship of Parties.  Nothing contained in this Lease shall be
deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by any third party to create the
relationship of principal and agent, partnership, joint venturer or any
association between Landlord and Tenant.

Tenant) are confidential information. 
Tenant and Landlord shall keep such confidential information strictly
confidential and shall not disclose such confidential information to any person
or entity other than Tenant’s or Landlord’s financial, legal, business, real
estate, management and space planning consultants, except as required by
applicable law or government authority (including, without limitation, any
government order, regulation or written comment in connection with any
securities offering or securities law disclosure or the rules and regulations
of any securities exchange or quotation system on which any securities of
Tenant or Landlord, as appropriate, is traded) or as mutually agreed in writing
by Tenant and Landlord.

 

29.9                           Time of Essence.  Time is of the essence with respect to the
performance of every provision of this Lease in which time of performance is a
factor.

 

29.10                     Partial Invalidity.  If any term, provision or condition contained
in this Lease shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder
of this Lease, or the application of such term, provision or condition to
persons or circumstances other than those with respect to which it is invalid
or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each and every other term,
provision and condition of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the
fullest extent possible permitted by law.

 

29.11                     No Warranty.  In executing and delivering this Lease, and
except for warranties expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant has not relied
on any representations, including, but not limited to, any representation as to
the amount of any item comprising Additional Rent or the amount of the
Additional Rent in the aggregate or that Landlord is furnishing the same
services to other tenants, at all, on the same level or on the same basis, or
any warranty or any statement of Landlord which is not set forth herein or in
one or more of the exhibits attached hereto.

 

29.12                     Landlord Exculpation.  The liability of Landlord or the Landlord
Parties to Tenant for any default by Landlord under this Lease or arising in
connection herewith or with Landlord’s operation, management, leasing, repair,
renovation, alteration or any other matter relating to the Project, the
Building or the Premises shall be limited solely and exclusively to an amount
which is equal to the interest of Landlord in the Building, and any sales,
condemnation or insurance proceeds received by Landlord or the Landlord Parties
in connection with the Project, Building or Premises.  Neither Landlord, nor any of the Landlord
Parties shall have any personal liability therefor, and Tenant hereby expressly
waives and releases such personal liability on behalf of itself and all persons
claiming by, through or under Tenant. 
The limitations of liability contained in this Section 29.12
shall inure to the benefit of Landlord’s and the Landlord Parties’ present and
future partners, beneficiaries, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders,
agents and employees, and their respective partners, heirs, successors and
assigns.  Under no circumstances shall
any present or future partner of Landlord (if Landlord is a partnership), or
trustee or beneficiary (if Landlord or any partner of Landlord is a trust),
have any liability for the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this
Lease.

 

29.13                     Entire Agreement.  It is understood and acknowledged that there
are no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Lease and this
Lease constitutes the parties’ entire agreement with respect to the leasing of
the Premises and supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations,
arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between the
parties hereto or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject
matter thereof, and none thereof shall be used to interpret or construe this
Lease.  None of the terms, covenants,
conditions or provisions of this Lease can be modified, deleted or added to
except in writing signed by the parties hereto.

 

29.14                     Right to Lease.  Landlord reserves the absolute right to
effect such other tenancies in the Project as Landlord in the exercise of its
sole business judgment shall determine to best promote the interests of the
Building

or Project.  Tenant does not rely on the fact, nor does
Landlord represent, that any specific tenant or type or number of tenants
shall, during the Lease Term, occupy any space in the Building or Project.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that
Tenant continues to lease the entire Building, Landlord shall not enter into
any Lease or other occupancy agreement, or approve any sublease (to the extent
that Landlord can reject such sublease pursuant to the terms of the applicable
lease), at the Project for space that is under 8,000 rentable square feet with
any entity that is a “Specified Competitor” (as defined below) of Tenant.  For purposes of this Lease, a “Specified Competitor” shall mean a company
that produces and sells video games, provided that Landlord and Tenant hereby
agree that the following companies shall not be designated as Specified
Competitors:  Sega, Electronic Arts,
Nintendo, Konami, Cap Com, Sony, Activision, and Infrogames Entertainment
(including its subsidiary, Atari).

 

29.15                     Force Majeure.  Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to
strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, acts of war, terrorist acts,
inability to obtain services, labor, or materials or reasonable substitutes
therefor, governmental actions, civil commotions, fire or other casualty, and
other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform,
except with respect to the obligations imposed with regard to Rent and other
charges to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (collectively, a “Force Majeure”), notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Lease, shall excuse the performance of such
party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage and,
therefore, if this Lease specifies a time period for performance of an
obligation of either party, that time period shall be extended by the period of
any delay in such party’s performance caused by a Force Majeure.

 

29.16                     Waiver of Redemption by Tenant.  Tenant hereby waives, for Tenant and for all
those claiming under Tenant, any and all rights now or hereafter existing to
redeem by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ,
Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination of this
Lease.

 

29.17                     Notices.  All notices, demands, statements,
designations, approvals or other communications (collectively, “Notices”) given or required to be given by
either party to the other hereunder or by law shall be in writing, shall be (A)
sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return
receipt requested (“Mail”), (B)
transmitted by telecopy, if such telecopy is promptly followed by a Notice sent
by Mail, (C) delivered by a nationally recognized overnight courier, or (D)
delivered personally.  If any Notice is
sent by telecopy, the transmitting party may as a courtesy send a duplicate
copy of the Notice to the other party by regular mail.  In all events, however, any Notice sent by
telecopy transmission shall govern all matters dealing with delivery of the
Notice, including the date on which the Notice is deemed to have been received
by the other party.  Any Notice shall be
sent, transmitted, or delivered, as the case may be, to Tenant at the
appropriate address set forth in Section 10 of the Summary, or to
such other place as Tenant may from time to time designate in a Notice to
Landlord, or to Landlord at the addresses set forth below, or to such other
places as Landlord may from time to time designate in a Notice to Tenant.  Any Notice will be deemed given (i) three (3)
days after the date it is posted if sent by Mail, (ii) the date the telecopy is
transmitted (or if after business hours, the next day), (iii) the date the
overnight courier delivery is made, or (iv) the date personal delivery is made
or attempted to be made (or if after business hours, the next day).  If Notice is tendered under the provisions of
this Lease and is refused by the intended recipient of the Notice, the Notice
shall nonetheless be considered to have been given and shall be effective as of
the date provided in this Lease.  The
contrary notwithstanding, any Notice given to Tenant in a manner other than
that provided in this Lease, that is actually received
by Tenant, shall be effective with respect to Tenant on receipt of such
Notice.  As of the date of this Lease,
any Notices to Landlord must be sent, transmitted, or delivered, as the case
may be, to the following addresses:

29.20                     Attorneys’ Fees.  In the event that either Landlord or Tenant
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 the other, 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.

 

29.21                     Governing Law; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.  This Lease shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of California.  IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING HEREFROM,
LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY CONSENT TO (I) THE JURISDICTION OF ANY COMPETENT
COURT WITHIN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, (II) SERVICE OF PROCESS BY ANY MEANS

RESPECT OF ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE, THE
RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANT’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES,
AND/OR ANY CLAIM FOR INJURY OR DAMAGE, OR ANY EMERGENCY OR STATUTORY REMEDY.

 

29.22                     Submission of Lease.  Submission of this instrument for examination
or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of, option for or
option to lease, and it is not effective as a lease or
otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.

 

29.23                     Brokers.  Landlord and Tenant hereby warrant to each
other that they have had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in
connection with the negotiation of this Lease, excepting only the real estate
brokers or agents specified in Section 12 of the Summary (the “Brokers”), and that they know of no other
real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with
this Lease.  Landlord shall pay the
brokerage commissions owing to the Brokers in connection with the transaction
contemplated by this Lease pursuant to the terms of separate written agreements
between Landlord and the Brokers.  Each
party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other
party harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits,
judgments, costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’
fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged
to be owing on account of any dealings with any real estate broker or agent,
other than the Brokers, occurring by, through, or under the indemnifying party.  Landlord shall, and Tenant shall not, pay all
fees due the Brokers pursuant to separate written agreements between Landlord
and the Brokers (each, a “Written Agreement”).  The terms and conditions of this Section 29.23
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.

 

29.24                     Independent Covenants.  This Lease shall be construed as though the
covenants herein between Landlord and Tenant are independent and not dependent
and Tenant hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute to the contrary
and agrees that if Landlord fails to perform its obligations set forth herein,
Tenant shall not be entitled to make any repairs or perform any acts hereunder
at Landlord’s expense or to any setoff of the Rent or other amounts owing
hereunder against Landlord.

 

29.25                     Project or Building Name and Signage.  Landlord shall have the right at any time to
change the name of the Project.  Tenant
shall not use the name of the Project or use pictures or illustrations of the
Project in advertising or other publicity or for any purpose other than as the
address of the business to be conducted by Tenant in the Premises, without the
prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

29.26                     Counterparts.  This Lease may be executed in counterparts
with the same effect as if both parties hereto had executed the same
document.  Both counterparts shall be
construed together and shall constitute a single lease.

 

29.27                     Project Renovations.  It is specifically understood and agreed that
Landlord has no obligation and has made no promises to alter, remodel, improve,
renovate, repair or decorate the Premises, Building, or any part thereof and
that no representations respecting the condition of the Premises or the
Building have been made by Landlord to Tenant except as specifically set forth
herein or in the Tenant Work Letter. 
However, Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord is currently
renovating or may during the Lease Term renovate, improve, develop, alter, or
modify (collectively, the “Renovations”)
the Project, the Building and/or the Premises. 
Tenant hereby agrees that such Renovations shall in no way constitute a
constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent,
except as set forth in Section 19.5.2; provided, however, that Landlord
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s
use of the Premises during any construction period and shall install a plywood
barrier around any site which Landlord develops on the Project.

 

29.28                     Hazardous Substances.

 

29.28.1            Definitions.  For purposes of this Lease, the following
definitions shall apply:  “Hazardous Material(s)” shall mean any
substance or material that is described as a toxic or hazardous substance,
waste, material, pollutant, contaminant or infectious waste, or any matter that
in certain specified quantities would be injurious to the public health or
welfare, or words of similar import, in any of the “Environmental Laws,” as
that term is defined below in this Section 29.28.1, or any other
words which are intended to define, list or classify substances by reason of
deleterious properties such as ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity,
carcinogenicity, toxicity or reproductive toxicity and includes, without
limitation, asbestos, petroleum (including crude oil or any fraction thereof,
natural gas, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas, or synthetic gas
usable for fuel, or any mixture thereof), petroleum products, polychlorinated
biphenyls, urea formaldehyde, radon gas, radioactive matter, medical waste, and
chemicals which may cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.  “Environmental
Laws” shall mean all

 

33

 

federal, state, local and quasi-governmental laws (whether under common
law, statute or otherwise), ordinances, decrees, codes, rulings, awards, rules,
regulations and guidance documents now or hereafter be enacted or promulgated
as amended from time to time, in any way relating to or regulating Hazardous
Materials.

 

29.28.2            Compliance with Environmental Laws.  Landlord covenants that during the Lease
Term, Landlord shall comply with all Environmental Laws in accordance with, and
as required by, the terms of Article 24 of this Lease.  Landlord hereby represents and warrants to
Tenant that, as of the date hereof, Landlord has no knowledge of the existence
of any Hazardous Material in, on or about the Building or Project in violation
of Environmental Laws.  Tenant covenants
that Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to be brought,
kept or used in or about the Premises, Building or Project by Tenant or the
Tenant Parties, other than limited quantities of office materials and cleaning
supplies as are customarily used in Tenant’s normal business operations and
fuel for the Generator, provided the same is kept in compliance with
Environmental Laws.

 

29.28.3            Indemnification.  Landlord agrees to indemnify, defend, protect
and hold harmless the Tenant Parties from any and all Claims arising from any
Hazardous Materials to the extent the same were in existence at the Project
prior to the date hereof, or to the extent placed in, on, under or about the
Project either by Landlord or the Landlord Parties.  Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend, protect
and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from any and all Claims arising from any
Hazardous Materials to the extent placed in, on, under, or about the Premises,
Building or Project by Tenant or the Tenant Parties.

 

29.29                     Transportation Management.  Tenant shall fully comply with all
governmentally mandated present or future programs intended to manage parking,
transportation or traffic in and around the Project and/or the Building, and in
connection therewith, Tenant shall take responsible action for the
transportation planning and management of all employees located at the Premises
by working directly with Landlord, any governmental transportation management
organization or any other transportation-related committees or entities.

 

29.30                     “And/or”.  Whenever the words and symbols “and/or” are
used in this Lease, it is intended that this Lease be interpreted and the
sentence, phrase or other part be considered in both its conjunctive and
disjunctive sense, and as having been written twice, once with the word “and”
inserted, and once with the word “or” inserted, in the place of said words and
symbol “and/or.”

 

29.31                     “Including” Defined.  The use of the word “including,” or “include,”
when followed by any general statement, term or matter, shall not be construed
to limit such statement, term or matter to the specific items or matters set
forth immediately following such word or to similar items, statements, terms or
matters, whether or not non-limiting language (such as “without limitation,” or
“but not limited to,” or words of similar import) is used with reference thereto,
but rather will be deemed to refer to all other items, statements, terms or
matters that could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of such
general statement, term, item or matter.

 

29.32                     Payments.  Whenever in the Lease a payment is required
to be made by one party to the other, but a specific date for payment is not
set forth or a specific number of days within which payment is to be made is
not set forth, or the words “at once,” “immediately,” “promptly” and/or “on
demand,” “on billing,” or their equivalent, are used to specify when such
payment is due, then such payment shall be due thirty (30) days after the party
which is entitled to such payment sends written notice to the other party
demanding such payment.

 

29.33                     Good Faith.  Wherever in the Lease Landlord or Tenant is
granted the right to grant or withhold consent or approval, exercise discretion
or make a determination, calculation or allocation, except as otherwise
expressly set forth in this Lease, Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be,
shall act reasonably and in good faith.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have caused
this Lease to be executed the day and date first above written.

EXHIBIT B

 

TENANT WORK LETTER

 

This
Tenant Work Letter shall set forth the terms and conditions relating to the
construction of the tenant improvements in the Premises.  This Tenant Work Letter is essentially
organized chronologically and addresses the issues of the renovation of the Premises,
in sequence, as such issues will arise.

 

SECTION 1

 

LANDLORD’S INITIAL CONSTRUCTION IN THE PREMISES

 

Landlord
has constructed or will construct, prior to “Substantial Completion” of the
Premises, as that term is defined in Section 5.1, below, at its sole cost
and expense and without deduction from the “Improvement Allowance,” as that
term is defined in Section 2.1, below, the base, shell, and core of the
Premises and Building (collectively, the “Base, Shell, and Core”), which
contains, or shall contain, the items set forth on Schedule 2,
attached hereto.  Landlord shall cause
the Base, Shell and Core to be in compliance with applicable life/fire safety
codes, physical disability codes (including, without limitation, the Americans
with Disabilities Act, and Title 24 of the California Administrative Code), and
other applicable laws in effect as of the date of the Substantial Completion of
the entire Premises (collectively, “Applicable Laws”) to the extent necessary
to use the Premises for general office use and to obtain a certificate of
occupancy, a temporary certificate of occupancy, or its equivalent, for the
entire Premises, and shall otherwise be in the condition set forth on Schedule 2
(collectively, the “Delivery  Condition”).  The Delivery Condition shall include any and
all required demolition and removal of any improvements and equipment existing
in the Building or Premises as of the date hereof.

 

SECTION 2

 

IMPROVEMENTS

 

2.1                                 Improvement
Allowance.  Tenant shall be entitled
to a one-time improvement allowance (the “Improvement
Allowance”) in the
amount of $4,135,760 ($40.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises) for the costs relating to the initial
design and construction of Tenant’s improvements which are permanently affixed
to the Premises (the “Improvements”).  The costs of the “Exterior Work,” as defined
in Section 1.3 of the Lease, shall not be
deducted from the Tenant Improvement Allowance. 
In no event shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements pursuant
to this Tenant Work Letter in a total amount which exceeds the Improvement
Allowance and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any credit for any unused
portion of the Improvement Allowance not used by Tenant within ninety (90) days
after the Commencement Date.

 

2.2                                 Disbursement
of the Improvement Allowance.  Except
as otherwise set forth in this Tenant Work Letter, the Improvement Allowance
shall be disbursed by Landlord (each of which disbursements shall be made
pursuant to Landlord’s commercially reasonable disbursement process) for costs
related to the construction of the Improvements and for the following items and
costs (collectively, the “Improvement
Allowance Items”):
(i) payment of the fees of the “Architect” and the “Engineers,” as those
terms are defined in Section 3.1 of this Tenant Work Letter, and payment
of the fees incurred by, and the cost of documents and materials supplied by,
Landlord and Landlord’s consultants in connection with the preparation and
review of the “Construction Drawings,” as that term is defined in Section 3.1
of this Tenant Work Letter; (ii) the cost of permits; (iii) the cost
of any changes in the Base Building required by the Construction Drawings (but
not including costs required to cause the Base Building to be in the “Delivery
Condition”); (iv) the cost of any changes to the Construction Drawings or
Improvements required by applicable building codes (the “Code”);
(v) the “Landlord Supervision Fee”, as that term is defined in Section 4.3.2
of this Tenant Work Letter; (vi) the cost of millwork and telecommunications
and data cabling in the Premises; and (vii) moving costs actually incurred by
Tenant.  However, in no event shall more than
$7.00 per rentable square foot of the Tenant Improvement Allowance be used for
the items described in (i), (ii), (vi) and (vii) above; any costs of items (i),
(ii), (vi) and (vii), above, which are in excess of $7.00 per rentable square
foot of the Premises shall be deemed to constitute an Over-Allowance Amount.

 

2.3                                 Failure
to Disburse Allowance.  To the extent
that Landlord fails to pay from the Tenant Improvement Allowance amounts due to
Tenant or parties contracting through Tenant, including any Architects,
Engineers or consultants, in accordance with the terms hereof, and such amounts
remain unpaid for thirty (30) days after notice form Tenant, then without
limiting Tenant’s other remedies under the Lease, Tenant may, after Landlord’s
failure to pay such amounts within five (5) business days after Tenant’s
delivery of a second notice from Tenant delivered after the expiration of such
30-day period, pay same and deduct the amount thereof, together with interest
at the Interest Rate, from the Rent next due and owning under the Lease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during
either the 30-day or 5-day period set forth above, Landlord (i) delivers notice
to Tenant that it disputes any portion of the amounts claimed to be due (the “Allowance Dispute Notice”), and (ii) pays
any amounts not in dispute, Tenant shall have no right to offset any amounts
against rent, but may proceed to claim a default by Landlord under this Lease
and may institute legal action seeking to recover damages from Landlord as a
result of such claimed default.

SECTION 3

 

CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS

 

3.1                                 Selection
of Architect/Construction Drawings. 
Tenant shall retain Wolcott and Associates or another architect/space
planner approved by Landlord (the “Architect”) to prepare the “Construction
Drawings,” as that term is defined in this Section 3.1.  Tenant shall also retain the engineering
consultants reasonably approved by Landlord (the “Engineers”) to
prepare all plans and engineering working drawings relating to the structural,
mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and lifesafety work of the Tenant
Improvements.  Landlord hereby approves
L.H. Hajnal & Associates for mechanical/electrical/plumbing engineering.  The
plans and drawings to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers hereunder
shall be known collectively as the “Construction
Drawings.”  All Construction
Drawings shall comply with the drawing format and specifications as reasonably
determined by Landlord, and shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable
approval.  Tenant and Architect shall
verify, in the field, the dimensions and conditions as shown on the relevant
portions of the base building plans, and Tenant and Architect shall be solely
responsible for the same, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in
connection therewith (except as set forth in Section 6.6,
below).  Landlord’s review of the
Construction Drawings as set forth in this Section 3, shall be for its
sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord’s review of the same, or obligate
Landlord to review the same, for quality, design, Code compliance or other like
matters.  Accordingly, notwithstanding
that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect,
engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which
may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord’s space planner, architect,
engineers, and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in
connection therewith and (except as set forth in Section 6.6,
below) shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the
Construction Drawings.

 

3.2                                 Final
Space Plan.  On or before the date
set forth in Schedule 1, attached hereto, Tenant and the Architect shall
prepare the final space plan for Improvements in the Premises (collectively,
the “Final Space Plan”), which
Final Space Plan shall include a layout and designation of all offices, rooms
and other partitioning, their intended use, and equipment to be contained
therein, and shall deliver the Final Space Plan to Landlord for Landlord’s
approval.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord may only disapprove or condition its approval of the Final Space Plan
for (i) an adverse affect on the structural integrity of the Building;
(ii) non-compliance with Applicable Laws; (iii) an adverse affect on
the Building Systems; or (iv) an adverse affect on the exterior appearance
of the Building (individually or collectively, a “Design Problem”).

 

3.3                                 Final
Working Drawings.  On or before the
date set forth in Schedule 1, Tenant, the Architect and the Engineers
shall complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Premises, and
the final architectural working drawings in a form which is complete to allow
subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits
(collectively, the “Final Working Drawings”) and shall submit the same to
Landlord for Landlord’s approval. 
Landlord may only disapprove or condition its approval of the Final
Working Drawings for a Design Problem.

 

3.4                                 Permits.  The Final Working Drawings shall be approved
by Landlord (the “Approved Working Drawings”) prior to the commencement of the
construction of the Improvements.  Tenant
shall cause the Architect to promptly submit the Approved Working Drawings to
the appropriate municipal authorities for all applicable building permits
necessary to allow “Contractor,” as that term is defined in Section 4.1,
below, to commence and fully complete the construction of the Improvements (the
“Permits”).  No changes, modifications
or alterations in the Approved Working Drawings may be made without the prior
written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

3.5                                 Time
Deadlines.  Tenant shall use its
commercially reasonable good faith efforts and all due diligence to cooperate
with the Architect, the Engineers, and Landlord to complete all phases of the
Construction Drawings and the permitting process and to receive the permits,
and with Contractor for approval of the “Cost Proposal,” as that term is defined
in Section 4.2 of this Tenant Work Letter, as soon as reasonably
practicable after the full execution and unconditional delivery of the Lease,
and, in that regard, shall meet with Landlord on a scheduled basis to be
reasonably determined by Landlord and Tenant, to discuss Tenant’s progress in
connection with the same.  The applicable
dates for approval of items, plans and drawings as described in this Section 3,
Section 4 below, and in this Tenant Work Letter are set forth and further
elaborated upon in Schedule 1 (the “Time
Deadlines”), attached
hereto.  Tenant and Landlord agree to
comply with the Time Deadlines.

 

3.6                                 Change
Orders.

 

3.6.1                        Changes
to Approved Working Drawings.  In the
event that Tenant requests any changes to the Approved Working Drawings (“Changes”), Landlord shall grant its consent
to such Changes within three (3) business days after Landlord’s receipt of
Tenant’s request for the same, provided the Change does not create a Design
Problem.  Any actual delay in the
Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements caused by any such Changes
requested by Tenant, and authorized to be implemented by Tenant pursuant to
this Section 3.6, shall constitute a Tenant Delay.

 

3.6.2                        Change
Order Bids.  In connection with any
request for a Change initiated by Tenant or by any governmental agency or
official, Landlord, Tenant, Architect and, to the extent appropriate, the
Engineer shall coordinate to obtain from Contractor at the earliest time
possible a binding change order proposal (the “Contractor Change Order Bid”) setting forth the fixed amount
of increase, if any, or decrease, if any, in the cost of construction of the
Tenant Improvements and the extension of time, if any, requested by Contractor
to cause the Substantial Completion of the Premises to occur by reason of such
proposed Change.  Tenant shall control
the design, subject to the approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or

 

B-2

 

delayed
if such change does not contain a Design Problem, of any governmentally
initiated Change that modifies the Tenant Improvements.  Within three (3) business days following
receipt by Tenant of Landlord’s response to the proposed Change and the
Contractor Change Order Bid, Tenant shall either approve the Contractor Change
Order Bid (in which case the Change shall be implemented promptly by the
Contractor) or disapprove the same (in which case the Change shall not be
implemented).  Notwithstanding any
provision of this Tenant Work Letter to the contrary, no request for a Change
or any other activity related to a Change shall constitute a Tenant Delay
unless and until (i) the same qualifies as a Tenant Delay under Section 5.2,
below, and Section 3.6.1, above, and (ii) such Change and the Contractor
Change Order Bid with respect thereto is approved in writing by Tenant.

 

SECTION 4

 

CONSTRUCTION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS

 

4.1                                 Contractor.  Landlord shall retain the general contractor
that shall construct the Improvements, which contractor shall be RCI or another
contractor subject to Tenant’s reasonable approval.  The contractor selected may be referred to
herein as the “Contractor”.  Landlord agrees that the Contractor’s maximum
fee for supervision, profit, overhead, and general conditions, exclusive of
insurance, shall be 8% of hard costs of construction.  Neither Tenant nor the Contractor shall be
charged by Landlord either directly or indirectly for the use of elevators,
hoists, water, electricity, HVAC, security or parking prior to the Lease
Commencement Date.  Contractor shall bid
the major trades to at least three (3) qualified subcontractors, reasonably
acceptable to Tenant, and the lowest bidder shall be retained for each trade,
provided that Landlord shall have the right to adjust the bids on a reasonable
basis to account for inconsistent assumptions. 
Tenant shall have the right to designate at least one bidder per each
subtrade provided that such bidder is a qualified subcontractor who regularly
performs work in the vicinity of the Project. 
All bids submitted by Landlord to Tenant for construction of the Tenant
Improvements shall equal the actual bids received by the Landlord without any
further mark-up or price increase.

 

4.2                                 Cost
Proposal.  After the Approved Working
Drawings are signed by Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall provide Tenant with
a cost proposal in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings, which cost
proposal shall include, as nearly as possible, the cost of all Improvement
Allowance Items to be incurred by Tenant in connection with the construction of
the Improvements (the “Cost Proposal”). 
Tenant shall approve and deliver the Cost Proposal to Landlord within
three (3) business days of the receipt of the same, and upon receipt of the
same by Landlord, Landlord shall be released by Tenant to purchase the items
set forth in the Cost Proposal and to commence the construction relating to
such items.  The date by which Tenant
must approve and deliver the Cost Proposal to Landlord shall be known hereafter
as the “Cost Proposal Delivery Date”.

 

4.3                                 Construction
of Improvements by Contractor under the Supervision of Landlord.

 

4.3.1                        Over-Allowance
Amount.  On a monthly “progress
payment basis” within thirty (30)  days
following Landlord’s request, commencing with the start of construction and
continuing through the completion of construction, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord an amount (the “Over-Allowance
Amount”) equal to the
difference between (i) the amount of the Cost Proposal and (ii) the
amount of the Improvement Allowance (less any portion thereof already disbursed
by Landlord, or in the process of being disbursed by Landlord, on or before the
Cost Proposal Delivery Date).  In the
event that, after the Cost Proposal Delivery Date, any revisions, changes, or
substitutions shall be made to the Construction Drawings or the Improvements,
any additional costs which arise in connection with such revisions, changes or
substitutions or any other additional costs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
immediately upon Landlord’s request as an addition to the Over-Allowance
Amount.

 

4.3.2                        Landlord’s
Retention of Contractor.  Landlord
shall independently retain Contractor, on behalf of Tenant, to construct the
Improvements in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings and the Cost
Proposal and Landlord shall supervise the construction by Contractor, and
Tenant shall pay a construction supervision and management fee (the “Landlord Supervision Fee”) to Landlord equal to Landlord’s
actual cost, in an amount not to exceed $40,000, payable out of the Improvement
Allowance.

 

SECTION 5

 

COMPLETION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS

 

5.1                                 Substantial
Completion.  “Substantial Completion”
of the Premises shall occur upon the date that (i) the Base, Shell, and
Core is complete in the Delivery Condition and all of the Building Systems
(including, without limitation, plumbing, heating, life safety, HVAC, elevator
and electrical systems) are operational to the extent necessary to service the
entire Premises; (ii) Landlord has sufficiently completed all the
Improvements required to be performed by Landlord in accordance with this
Tenant Work Letter pursuant to the Approved Working Drawings and Applicable Law
such that Tenant can conduct normal business operations from the Premises, with
the exception of any punchlist items and any Tenant fixtures, work-stations,
built-in furniture, or equipment to be installed by Tenant or under the
supervision of Tenant’s agents; (iii)  Landlord has obtained and provided
a copy to Tenant of an unconditional temporary certificate of occupancy for the
entire Premises, or its equivalent which permits lawful occupancy and use of
the entire Premises by Tenant for the Permitted Use (a “TCO”); (iv) Landlord
has provided Tenant with access to the Premises to reasonably allow Tenant to
move into the Premises over a weekend; and (v) Landlord has provided Tenant
with no fewer than two hundred fifty (250) parking spaces in the parking lot
adjacent to the Building.

 

5.2                                 Delay
of the Substantial Completion of the Premises.  Except as provided in this Section 5,
the Lease Commencement Date and Tenant’s obligation to pay rent for the
Premises shall occur as set forth in the Lease.

 

B-3

 

However, if there shall
be a delay or there are delays in the Substantial Completion of the
Improvements in the Premises as a result of the following (collectively, “Tenant Delays”):

 

5.2.1                        Tenant’s
failure to comply with the Time Deadlines;

 

5.2.2                        Tenant’s
failure to timely approve any matter requiring Tenant’s approval;

 

5.2.3                        A
breach by Tenant of the terms of this Tenant Work Letter or the Lease;

 

5.2.4                        Changes
in any of the Construction Drawings because the same do not comply with Code or
other applicable laws;

 

5.2.5                        Tenant’s
request for changes in the Approved Working Drawings;

 

5.2.6                        Tenant’s
requirement for materials, components, finishes or improvements which are not
available in a commercially reasonable time given the anticipated date of
Substantial Completion of the Improvements in the Premises;

 

5.2.7                        Changes
to the Base, Shell and Core required by any non-typical requirements of the
Approved Working Drawings; or

 

5.2.8                        Any
other acts or omissions of Tenant, or its agents, or employees; or

 

5.2.9                        Tenant’s
request for changes to the Exterior Improvements.

 

then, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease or this Tenant Work Letter and
regardless of the actual date of the Substantial Completion of Improvements in
the Premises, the date of Substantial Completion thereof shall be deemed to be
the date that Substantial Completion would have occurred if no Tenant Delay or
Delays, as set forth above, had occurred. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Tenant Delay shall be deemed to have
occurred unless and until Landlord has provided written notice to Tenant (the “Delay Notice”), specifying the action or
inaction by Tenant which Landlord contends constitutes the Tenant Delay, and if
such action or inaction is not cured by Tenant within one (1) business day
of receipt of such Delay Notice (the “Grace
Period”), then a Tenant Delay, as set forth in such Delay Notice,
shall be deemed to have occurred commencing as of the expiration of the Grace
Period.

 

5.3           Tenant’s
Entry Into the Premises Prior to Substantial
Completion.  Provided that Tenant and
its agents do not unreasonably interfere with or delay Contractor’s work in the
Building and the Premises, Landlord and Contractor shall allow Tenant and
Tenant’s contractors and agents access to the Premises, at no cost to Tenant,
approximately six (6) weeks prior to the Substantial Completion of the Premises
for the purpose of Tenant installing Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and data and
telephone cabling in the Premises.  Prior
to Tenant’s entry into the Premises as permitted by the terms of this Section 5.3,
Tenant shall submit a schedule to Landlord and Contractor, for their
approval, which schedule shall detail the timing and purpose of Tenant’s
entry.  Tenant shall hold Lessor harmless
from and indemnify, protect and defend Lessor against any loss or damage to the
Building or Premises and against injury to any persons caused by Tenant’s
actions pursuant to this Section 5.3.

 

SECTION 6

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

6.1                                 Tenant’s
Representative.  Tenant has
designated Stacy Wilder as its sole representative with respect to the matters
set forth in this Tenant Work Letter, who, until further notice to Landlord,
shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of the Tenant as
required in this Tenant Work Letter.

 

6.2                                 Landlord’s
Representative.  Prior to commencement
of construction of Improvements, Landlord shall designate a representative with
respect to the matters set forth in this Tenant Work Letter, who, until further
notice to Tenant, shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf
of the Landlord as required in this Tenant Work Letter.

 

6.3                                 Time
of the Essence in This Tenant Work Letter. 
Unless otherwise indicated, all references herein to a “number of days”
shall mean and refer to calendar days.

 

6.4                                 No
Miscellaneous Charges.  Neither Tenant
nor Tenant’s Agents shall be charged for electricity, HVAC, security, freight
elevators or for the use of parking at any time during the construction of the
Improvements, Tenant’s installation and Tenant’s move into the Premises.

 

6.5                                 Cleaning
of Premises.  Landlord shall, at
Landlord’s cost, clean the Premises following the Substantial Completion of the
Premises.

 

6.6                                 Presence
of Hazardous Materials.  In the event
that at any point during the period commencing with commencement of
construction of the Improvements and ending with the Substantial Completion of
the Premises, Hazardous Materials which require remediation or encapsulation
under Applicable Laws are discovered in the Premises or in the Building, and
are not brought to the Premises or Building by Tenant or its agents, and the
existence of such Hazardous Materials delay the design or construction of the
Improvements, or increase the costs of

 

B-4

 

the
construction of the Tenant Improvements, then (i) such delay in the
construction of the Tenant Improvements shall in no way constitute a Tenant
Delay and (ii) such increased costs shall be borne by Landlord.

 

6.7                                 Expenses
for Base Building Non-Compliance.  In
the event that the Base Building does not materially comply with the terms of Section 1
of this Tenant Work Letter, and therefore there are increased design or
construction costs that it would not have been incurred but for such material
non-compliance, then such costs shall be borne by Landlord without deduction
from the Tenant Improvement Allowance. 
No delay in the construction of the Improvements resulting from any such
material non-compliance shall constitute a Tenant Delay.

RULES AND REGULATIONS

 

Tenant
shall faithfully observe and comply with the following Rules and
Regulations.  Landlord shall not be
responsible to Tenant for the nonperformance of any of said Rules and
Regulations by or otherwise with respect to the acts or omissions of any other
tenants or occupants of the Project. 
Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to cause other tenants or
occupants of the Project to comply with the Rules and Regulations in order to
avoid any unreasonable interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises as a
result of the failure of such other tenants or occupants to comply with the
Rules and Regulations.  For purposes of
this Lease, the Rules and Regulations of the Project, attached to and made a
part of the Lease as Exhibit “D,” shall not be changed or revised or enforced
in any unreasonable way by Landlord, nor enforced or changed by Landlord in
such a way as to substantially interfere with Tenant’s rights under this
Lease.  In the event of any conflict
between the Rules and Regulations and the other provisions of this Lease, the
latter shall control.

 

1.     Tenant shall not
alter any lock or install any new or additional locks or bolts on any doors or
windows of the Premises without obtaining Landlord’s prior written
consent.  Tenant shall bear the cost of
any lock changes or repairs required by Tenant.

 

2.     Tenant, its
employees and agents must be sure that the doors to the Building are securely
closed and locked when leaving the Premises if it is after the normal hours of
business for the Building.  The Landlord
and his agents shall in no case be liable for damages in connection with the
entry into the Building by any person. 
In case of invasion, mob, riot, public excitement, or other commotion,
Landlord reserves the right to prevent access to the Building or the Project
during the continuance thereof by any means it deems appropriate for the safety
and protection of life and property.

 

3.     Safes and other
heavy objects shall, if considered necessary by Landlord, stand on supports of
such thickness as is necessary to properly distribute the weight.   Landlord will not be responsible for loss of
or damage to any such safe or property in any case.  Any damage to any part of the Building, its
contents, occupants or visitors by moving or maintaining any such safe or other
property shall be the sole responsibility and expense of Tenant.

 

4.     Except as
provided in the Lease, no sign, advertisement, notice or handbill shall be
exhibited, distributed, painted or affixed by Tenant outside of the interior of
the Premises without the prior written consent of the Landlord.  Tenant shall not disturb, solicit, peddle, or
canvass any occupant of the Project and shall cooperate with Landlord and its
agents of Landlord to prevent same.

 

5.     The toilet
rooms, urinals, wash bowls and other apparatus shall not be used for any
purpose other than that for which they were constructed, and no foreign
substance of any kind whatsoever shall be thrown therein.  The expense of any breakage, stoppage or
damage resulting from the violation of this rule shall be borne by the tenant
who, or whose employees or agents shall have caused same.

 

6.     Tenant shall not
overload the floor of the Premises, or in any way deface the Premises or any
part thereof without Landlord’s prior written consent.

 

7.     Tenant shall not
use or keep in or on the Premises, the Building, or the Project any kerosene,
gasoline or other inflammable or combustible fluid, chemical, substance or
material (provided that Landlord acknowledges that Tenant will maintain
products in the Premises which are incidental to the operation of its offices,
such as photocopy supplies, secretarial supplies and limited janitorial
supplies, which products contain chemicals which are categorized as hazardous
materials, and that the use of such products in the Premises in compliance with
Applicable Laws and in the manner in which such products are designed to be
used shall not be a violation by Tenant of this Rule 8).

 

8.     Tenant shall not
without the prior written consent of Landlord use any method of heating or air
conditioning other than that supplied by Landlord (other than U.L. rated space
heaters or fans).

 

9.     Tenant shall not
use, keep or permit to be used or kept, any foul or noxious gas or substance in
or on the Premises, or permit or allow the Premises to be occupied or used in a
manner offensive or objectionable to Landlord or other occupants of the Project
by reason of noise, odors, or vibrations, or interfere with other tenants or
those having business therein, whether by the use of any musical instrument,
radio, phonograph, or in any other way. 
Tenant shall not throw anything out of doors, windows or skylights or
down passageways.

 

10.   Tenant shall not

such other and further reasonable Rules and Regulations as in Landlord’s
judgment may from time to time be necessary for the management, safety, care
and cleanliness of the Premises, Building, the Common Areas and the Project,
and for the preservation of good order therein, as well as for the convenience
of other occupants and tenants therein. 
Landlord may waive any one or more of these Rules and Regulations for
the benefit of any particular tenants, but no such waiver by Landlord shall be
construed as a waiver of such Rules and Regulations in favor of any other
tenant, nor prevent Landlord from thereafter enforcing any such Rules or
Regulations against any or all

tenants of the Project.  Tenant shall be deemed to have read these
Rules and Regulations and to have agreed to abide by them as a condition of its
occupancy of the Premises.

 

26.   Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall Landlord’s failure to enforce any rule or
regulation set forth in this Exhibit “D” constitute a waiver of Landlord’s
future rights of enforcement with respect to the same as contained herein.

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND
ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

 

THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT
is dated for reference purposes and entered into as of                                                                          ,
200       , by and among VINEYARD BANK, a
California state banking corporation (“Lender”),                                                                                                             
(“Lessor”), and                                                                                                                                                                                
(“Lessee”).

 

1.                                      RECITALS

 

1.1                               Lessor
is the owner of that certain real property commonly known as                                  ,
and more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference (“Real Property”).

 

1.2                               Lessor
and Lessee have entered into that certain Lease dated                  ,
           , a copy of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by
this reference (“Lease”), covering all or a portion of the Real Property more
particularly described in the Lease (“Premises”).

 

1.3                               Lender
has made, or is about to make, a loan to Lessor (“Loan”), evidenced, or to be
evidenced, by that certain promissory note in the amount of the Loan and
executed by Lessor to the order of Lender (“Note”).  Repayment of the Note is or will be secured
by, among other things, a deed of trust encumbering the Real Property which is
to be recorded in the official records of the county in which the Real Property
is located (“Deed of Trust”).

 

1.4                               It
is to the mutual benefit of the parties hereto that Lender make the Loan to
Lessor.

 

1.5                               Lender
has conditioned its commitment to make the Loan on the execution and delivery
to Lender of this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL BENEFITS
ACCRUING TO THE PARTIES HERETO AND OTHER VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, THE RECEIPT
AND SUFFICIENCY OF WHICH CONSIDERATION IS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED, AND IN ORDER TO
INDUCE LENDER TO MAKE THE LOAN, IT IS HEREBY DECLARED, UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED AS
FOLLOWS:

 

2.                                      SUBORDINATION

 

2.1                               Subordination
of Lease.  Lessee, for itself,
its successors and its assigns, hereby covenants and agrees that the Lease and
all of Lessee’s rights thereunder shall be and is hereby made subordinate to
the lien of the Deed of Trust and to any extensions, consolidations,
modifications thereof and supplements thereto with the same force and effect as
if the Deed of Trust had been executed, acknowledged, delivered and recorded
prior to the execution and delivery of the Lease.

 

2.2                               No
Default Under the Lease.  Lessee
warrants that, as of the date of this Agreement, Lessor is not in default under
the Lease, and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or the
giving of notice will become a default under the Lease.

 

2.3                               Lender
Not Liable for Security Deposit. 
Lessee acknowledges and agrees that should Lender or any third party take
title to the Property either as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure, Lender or such third party shall not be liable for the repayment
or the return of any security deposit paid by Lessee to Lessor under the Lease,
except to the extent transferred to Lender or such third party by Lessor.

 

2.4                               No
Credit For Prepaid Rent.  Lessee
acknowledges and agrees that should Lender or any third party take title to the
Property either as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure,
Lessee shall not receive credit for any rent paid by Lessee more than thirty
(30) days in advance and that Lessee shall be liable for all rent payable under
the Lease, notwithstanding any such prepayment of rent, other than the first
month’s rent paid by Tenant to Lessor concurrently with Tenant’s execution of
the Lease.

 

3.                                      NON-DISTURBANCE

 

3.1                               Litigation.  In the event of foreclosure of the Deed of
Trust, Lender will not join Lessee in any summary proceedings so long as Lessee
is not in default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease,
after expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods set forth in the
Lease.

 

3.2                               Power
of Sale or Judicial Foreclosure. 
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that a foreclosure of the
Deed of Trust, the exercise of the power of sale or the exercise of any other
remedies provided therein, or provided in any other instrument securing the
indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust, or the delivery of a deed to the
subject premises in lieu of foreclosure, shall not, of itself, result in the
termination of or otherwise affect the Lease, but Lender, assignee of Lender or
purchaser from Lender, shall upon foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or
conveyance in lieu of foreclosure shall thereby automatically succeed to the
position of Lessor under the Lease.

 

F-1-1

 

3.3                               Succession
to Position of Lessor.  If, by
dispossession, foreclosure, exercise of the power of sale, or otherwise,
Lender, its successors or assigns, or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale or
otherwise, shall come into possession of or become Lessor of the Premises, such
person shall succeed to the interest of Lessor under the Lease, and, if no
default then exists under the terms, conditions and provisions of the Lease,
after expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, the Lease shall
remain in effect as a lease of the demised Premises, together with all of the
rights and privileges therein contained, between such person and Lessee for the
balance of the term of the Lease.

 

3.4                               Waiver
of Lease Obligations.  Unless
Lessee is in default under the terms of the Lease after expiration of any
applicable notice and cure periods, Lender, its successors or assigns, or any
purchaser at a foreclosure or trustee’s sale or otherwise, will not disturb the
possession of the Premises by Lessee, and will be bound by all of the
obligations imposed by the Lease upon the lessor therein; provided, however,
that Lender, or any purchaser at a foreclosure or trustee’s sale or otherwise,
shall not be:

 

3.4.1                     Liable
for any act or omission of a prior lessor (including Lessor) (provided that
Lender or such purchaser shall be obligated to cure any continuing defaults in
accordance with the terms of the Lease); or

 

3.4.2                     Subject
to any offsets or defense which Lessee might have against any prior lessor
(including Lessor) (other than offsets allowed pursuant to the terms of Section 7.2
of the Lease and Section 2.3 of Exhibit B to the Lease); or

 

3.4.3                     Bound
by any rent or additional rent which Lessee might have paid in advance to any
prior lessor (including Lessor) for any period beyond the month in which the
foreclosure or conveyance occurs (other than the first month’s rent paid to
Lessor by Lessee at the time of Lessee’s execution of the Lease);

 

3.5                               New
Lease.  Upon the written request
of either Lessee or Lender, given to the other at the time of a foreclosure of
the Deed of Trust or sale under power of sale therein contained or conveyance
in lieu of foreclosure, and if no default then exists under the terms,
conditions and provisions of the Lease, Lessee and Lender or Lender’s successor
in interest shall execute a lease of the Premises upon the same terms and
conditions as the Lease between Lessor and Lessee, which lease shall cover any
unexpired term of the Lease existing prior to such foreclosure, trustee’s sale
or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.

 

4.                                      ATTORNMENT

 

4.1                               Attornment.  Lessee covenants and agrees to attorn to and
to accept Lender or Lender’s assignee, successor, or assign or any purchaser
from Lender or from the trustee in a foreclosure sale, as lessor under the
Lease, and to be bound by and to perform all of the obligations imposed by the
Lease upon Lessee including, without limitation, the payment of rent to the
successor of Lessor therein.  Lessee
further agrees to make rental payments directly to Lender, in accordance with
the terms of an Assignment of Rents Agreement or an assignment of rents
provision contained in the Deed of Trust, as applicable, in the event that
Lender notifies Lessee that Lessor is in default in any term or condition of
the obligations secured by the Deed of Trust, and Lessor shall make no claims
against Lessee with respect to any such payments to Lender by Lessee.

 

4.2                               Foreclosure.  Lessee hereby covenants and agrees that,
notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in the Lease, and subject to the
terms hereof, Lender may exercise all rights and remedies granted to it under
the Deed of Trust to foreclose its interest and dispose of the Real Property
without the consent of or notice to Lessee.

 

4.3                               Termination
of Lease.  Concurrently upon
Lessee’s receipt or delivery of any notice of termination or default under the
Lease, Lessee will deliver a complete and correct copy of such notice to Lender
at the address set forth below.

5.1                               Successors

FORM OF SUBORDINATION,

NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

 

THIS
SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of     , 200    is
entered into by and among                        ,
(“Tenant”),                         ,
(“Landlord”), and                                       
(“Lender”), and each of their
respective successors and assigns.

 

W  I  T  N  E
S  S  E  T  H:

 

WHEREAS,
Landlord is the owner of the real property described in Exhibit A
attached hereto, together with the improvements thereon (the “Property”);

 

WHEREAS,
Landlord or its predecessor and Tenant have entered into a certain Lease, as
the same may have been or may hereafter be amended, modified, renewed, extended
or replaced (the “Lease”), leasing
to Tenant a portion of the Property as more particularly described in the Lease
(the “Premises”);

 

WHEREAS,
Lender has advised Tenant that Lender has agreed to make a certain mortgage
loan to Landlord (the “Loan”),
which is evidenced by Landlord’s Promissory Note (the “Note”) and secured by, among other things,
a certain first priority leasehold mortgage (the “Mortgage”), and a first priority assignment of rents and
leases encumbering the Property (the “Assignment
of Leases”) each dated as of                      ;
and

 

WHEREAS,
Lender, Landlord and Tenant desire to confirm their understanding with respect
to the Lease and the Loan and the rights of Tenant and Lender thereunder.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained
herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

 

1.                                       Subordination.  The Lease is and shall be subject and
subordinate to the Mortgage, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements
and extensions thereof.

 

2.                                       Non-Disturbance.  If, at any time, Lender or any person or
entity or any of their successors or assigns who shall acquire the interest of
Landlord under the Lease through a foreclosure of the Mortgage, the exercise of
the power of sale under the Mortgage, a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, an
assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise (each, a “New Owner”) shall succeed to the interests
of Landlord under the Lease, so long as the Lease has not been terminated as a
result of a default by Tenant under the Lease (a “Default”), the Lease shall continue in full force and effect
as a direct lease between the New Owner and Tenant, upon and subject to all of
the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, for the balance of the term
thereof.  Tenant hereby agrees to attorn
to and accept any such New Owner as landlord under the Lease and to be bound by
and perform all of the obligations imposed by the Lease, and Lender, or any
such New Owner of the Property, agrees that it will not disturb the possession
of Tenant and will be bound by all of the obligations imposed on the Landlord
by the Lease; provided, however, that any New Owner shall not be:

 

(a)                                  liable
for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord) arising
prior to the date upon which the New Owner shall succeed to the interests of
Landlord under the Lease, provided that New Owner shall be obligated to correct
any default of a continuing nature within a reasonable time; or

 

(b)                                 subject
to any claims, offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior
landlord (including Landlord) arising prior to the date upon which the New
Owner shall succeed to the interests of Landlord under the Lease, provided that
the foregoing shall not limit Tenant’s rights to offset amounts in accordance
with the express terms of the Lease, including amounts under Section 7.2
of the Lease, or Section 2.3 of Exhibit B to the Lease; or

 

(c)                                  bound
by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid in advance to any
prior landlord (including Landlord) for a period in excess of one (1) month or
by any security deposit, cleaning deposit or other prepaid charge which Tenant
might have paid in advance to any prior landlord (including Landlord), except
to the extent that such New Owner actually comes into possession of the same;
or

 

(d)                                 responsible
for the making of any improvement to the Property or repairs in or to the
Property in the case of damage or destruction of the Property or any part
thereof due to fire or other casualty or by reason of condemnation unless such
New Owner shall be obligated under the Lease to make such repairs; or

 

(e)                                  obligated
to make any payment to Tenant required under the Lease to be made prior to the
time New Owner succeeded to the interests of Landlord under the Lease, except
for the timely return of any security deposit actually received by such New
Owner, provided that the foregoing shall not limit Tenant’s rights to offset
amounts in accordance with the express terms of the Lease, including amounts
under Section 7.2 of the Lease, or Section 3.6 of Exhibit B to the
Lease.

 

F-2-2

 

Nothing
contained herein shall prevent Lender from naming or joining Tenant in any
foreclosure or other action or proceeding initiated by Lender pursuant to the
Mortgage to the extent necessary under applicable law in order for Lender to
avail itself of and complete the foreclosure or other remedy, but such naming
or joinder shall not be in derogation of the rights of Tenant as set forth in
this Agreement.

 

3.                                       Notice.  Notices to Lender hereunder or under the Lease
shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand, by nationally recognized
overnight courier or mailed by registered or certified United States mail,
postage prepaid and return receipt requested, to its address at                           ,
or to such other address as Lender may specify from time to time by written
notice to Tenant.

 

4.                                       Cure
by Lender of Landlord Defaults. 
Tenant hereby agrees that from and after the date hereof, in the event
of any act or omission by Landlord which would give Tenant the right, either
immediately or after the lapse of time, to terminate or cancel the Lease or to
claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant will not exercise any such right
until it has given written notice of such act or omission to Lender, and Lender
has failed within thirty (30) days after both receipt of such notice by Lender
and the time when Lender shall have become entitled under the Mortgage to
remedy the same, to cure such act or omission.

 

5.                                       Payments
to Lender and Exculpation of Tenant. 
Tenant is hereby notified that the Lease and the rent and all other sums
due thereunder have been assigned to Lender as security for the Loan.  In the event that Lender or any future party
to whom Lender may assign the Mortgage notifies Tenant of a default under the
Mortgage and directs that Tenant pay its rent and all other sums due under the
Lease to Lender or to such assignee, Tenant shall honor such direction without
inquiry and pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease in accordance
with such notice.  Landlord agrees that
Tenant shall have the right to rely on any such notice from Lender or any such
assignee without incurring any obligation or liability to Landlord, and Tenant
is hereby instructed to disregard any notice to the contrary received from
Landlord or any third party.

 

6.                                       Limitation
of Liability.  Lender shall not,
either by virtue of the Mortgage, the Assignment or Leases or this Agreement,
be or become a mortgagee-in-possession or be or become subject to any liability
or obligation under the Lease or otherwise until Lender shall have acquired the
interest of Landlord in the Premises, by foreclosure or otherwise, and then
such liability or obligation of Lender under the Lease shall extend only to
those liabilities or obligations accruing subsequent to the date that Lender
has acquired the interest of Landlord in the Premises as modified by the terms
of this Agreement except for a default of a continuing nature.  In addition, upon such acquisition, Lender
shall have no obligation, nor incur any liability, beyond Lender’s then
interest, if any, in the Property and any sale, insurance or condemnation
proceeds received by Lender in connection with the Property.  Furthermore, in the event of the assignment
or transfer of the interest of Lender under this Agreement, all obligations and
liabilities of Lender under this Agreement which have not accrued as of the
date of such assignment or transfer shall terminate and, thereupon, all such
obligations and liabilities shall be the sole responsibility of the party to
whom Lender’s interest is assigned or transferred.

 

7.                                       Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                  Tenant
agrees that this Agreement satisfies any condition or requirement in the Lease
relating to the granting of a non-disturbance agreement.

 

(b)                                 This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns as are permitted under the Lease.

 

(c)                                  The
captions appearing under the paragraph number designations of this Agreement
are for convenience only and are not a part of this Agreement and do not in any
way limit or amplify the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 This
Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which, collectively and separately,
shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first
above written to be effective as of the date of the Mortgage.

Re: 29903 Agoura Road/THQ
Renovations

Project
Description

 

Dear Doug:

 

The proposed
modifications for the above referenced project, though conceptual at this time,
are highlighted by the following features.

 

The main building entry
will be renovated using a new glazing system which features narrow horizontal
mullions.  This glazing system will be
canted outward, framed by stucco columns, and topped with a narrow parapet.

 

Portions of the south (or
entry) elevation will feature narrow parapet eyebrows, new glazing and framed
architectural extrusions to create more variation in the façade.  These improvements will be limited by the
structural capabilities that the existing building allows.

 

As many as 27 new window
penetrations are proposed.  These
penetrations will also be subject to the structural capabilities and
limitations of the existing building. 
Skylights are proposed over central interior building areas.  Again the number and position of these
skylights will be based on the structural capabilities of the existing building
and the proposed tenant layout.

 

The building will be
painted in proposed colors subject to owner, tenant and City of Agoura
approval.  All medications shall be
subject to review and approval by the City of Agoura.

 

If you have any further
questions on this project, please feel free to call at your convenience.

 

Very Sincerely,

 

 

Brian Poliquin AIA
