Section 2.07.                         Lessee To Comply With Covenants.  Lessee agrees that it will not use the Premises, or any part thereof, or suffer or permit the same to be used in any manner or suffer or do anything upon the Premises or any part thereof which may violate any material covenant, condition, reservation, agreement, easement or restriction to which the Premises may be subject on the Commencement Date or which may be imposed after said date which are consented to in writing by Lessee, and Lessee agrees that it will observe and perform and will comply with and carry out the provisions of all Contractual Requirements during the Lease Term.  “Contractual Requirements” are defined as all obligations required under any covenants, conditions and restrictions, easement agreements, operating agreements, equipment leases or other contractual obligations applicable to and binding upon the Premises.

ARTICLE IV

 

Section 4.01.                         Restriction on Assignment or Other Transfer.  Lessee covenants and agrees for Lessee and its successors, assigns and legal representatives that neither this Lease nor the Lease Term and estate hereby granted, nor any part hereof or thereof, will be assigned, mortgaged, pledged or encumbered by Lessee or otherwise transferred (whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise) or for any purpose other than as set forth herein, without the prior written consent of Lessor in every case (a “Transfer”), except in accordance with this Section (such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned provided the conditions in Section 4.02 have been satisfied).  For the purposes of this Section, a Transfer shall be deemed to include any transfer, assignment or encumbrance of the controlling interests in Lessee, whether occurring by reason of one transaction or cumulatively in any two or more transactions; and in any event a Transfer shall not be deemed to occur solely as a result of the death of any natural person or the transfer of any interest to a trust for estate planning purposes without the release of the transferor.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may, without consent, assign or sublet up to one hundred percent (100%) of the leaseable floor area of the Premises to an Affiliate of Lessee (as defined in Section 4.08 below), provided that Lessee shall agree in writing to remain fully liable for the obligations of the “Lessee” hereunder.  Lessee shall give Lessor prompt written notice of any such assignment or subletting as required by Section 4.05 below.  In the case of an assignment, Lessee shall also execute and deliver to Lessor an agreement in form and substance in all respects reasonably satisfactory to Lessor whereby Lessee ratifies and guarantees all of the obligations of the assignee Affiliate of Lessee under this Lease.

 

Except as is set forth above, any sublease of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the leaseable floor area of the Premises will be deemed a Transfer..  If the Transfer involves an assignment of this Lease (including a Transfer to an Affiliate of Lessee), the assignee shall execute and deliver to Lessor an agreement in form and substance in all respects reasonably satisfactory to Lessor whereby such assignee assumes and agrees to be bound by and perform all of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease.

 

Section 4.02.                         Information About Proposed Transferee.  Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 4.01, in the event Lessee wishes to assign or otherwise make a Transfer of

 

10



 

this Lease, Lessee shall first notify Lessor of the name of the proposed transferee and of the material terms, provisions and conditions contained in the proposed Transfer, and shall provide Lessor with such information as to the proposed transferee’s financial condition, business experience and standing as Lessor may reasonably require.

 

Section 4.03.                         Terms Relating to Consent.  Lessor shall have the right to withhold or condition its consent (subject, however, to its covenant not to unreasonably withhold, delay or condition such consent) to any proposed Transfer unless the following conditions are met:

 

(a)                                  the proposed transferee is of a financial standing which in Lessor’s judgment will allow such proposed transferee to meet its obligations under this Lease as they become due;

 

(b)                                 the Premises will be used by such transferee for a Permitted Use;

 

(c)                                  there shall be no material default by Lessee which has not been cured within any (if any) applicable cure period under any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease at the time that Lessor’s consent to any such Transfer is requested or on the effective date of the Transfer, and

 

(d)                                 Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for any reasonable expenses that may be incurred by Lessor in connection with the proposed Transfer, including (without limitation) the costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of a proposed transferee and all reasonable legal fees and legal expenses incurred in connection with the granting of any requested consent to the Transfer;

 

(e)                                  any request for an assignment of this Lease shall be accompanied by the proposed instrument of assignment and the assignment document will provide that the assignee cannot further transfer its interest without complying with the transfer .  requirements of this Lease.

 

Section 4.04.                         Subleases.  Lessee may sublease all or any part of the Premises to one or more subtenants without the consent of Lessor, provided the sublease is subordinate to this Lease and to the Fee Mortgage, and the sublessee does not require a nondisturbance agreement with Lessor.

 

In the event that a subtenant requests a nondisturbance agreement, then Lessor will grant a reasonably acceptable nondisturbance agreement to such subtenant, provided that such subtenant and sublease are reasonably acceptable to Lessor under its then-current underwriting standards for similar properties and transactions, and to the extent that a proposed subtenant requests a nondisturbance agreement, such sublease shall be submitted to Lessor for review and approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) together with such financial information regarding the proposed subtenant as Lessor may reasonably request.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall grant a reasonable nondisturbance agreement to a proposed subtenant if (a) such subtenant has a tangible net worth (or stockholder equity, as the context may require) of not less than $100,000,000, and (b) the rent payable under the sublease is reasonable under the then-prevailing market for sublease space, of the type and size being subleased in the Premises, in the Fremont, California, industrial market.

“Fee Mortgage” means any mortgage, deed of trust or similar instrument encumbering real property to secure an obligation made by Lessor which is at any time a lien on Lessor’s interest in the Premises, the beneficiary of which is referred to herein as “Fee Mortgagee.” Any sublease of all or a portion of the Premises shall specifically state that it is subject and subordinate to the terms and conditions of this Lease and to the Fee Mortgage, that it shall be limited by the provisions hereof and that the lessee thereunder shall not have any other or further rights than Lessee has under this Lease.  No sublease shall extend for any period longer than the then-current term of this Lease.

 

Section 4.05.                         Original Documents to Lessor.  In the event this Lease is assigned or if more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises is sublet a duplicate original of the instrument of assignment or subletting, as the case may be, shall be sent to Lessor within 10 days after the effective date thereof.  Any assignee of this Lease shall assume the obligations of Lessee hereunder and a duplicate original of such assumption shall be delivered to Lessor together with the aforesaid duplicate original of the assignment instrument.

 

Section 4.06.                         Effect of Transfer.  Unless Lessor shall otherwise agree in writing at the time of an assignment, Transfer, or sublease, no such assignment, Transfer or sublease shall release Lessee from liability hereunder or affect or reduce any obligations.  of Lessee named herein or of any other Lessee assuming this Lease or affect or reduce the rights of Lessor hereunder.  All obligations of Lessee named herein and of any other Lessee assuming this Lease shall continue in full effect as the joint and several obligations of a principal and not of a guarantor or surety, as though no assignment, Transfer or sublease had been made.  In connection therewith, Lessee named herein and each succeeding Lessee assuming this Lease agrees that the joint and several liability of each hereunder shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be terminated or affected by any action which Lessor may take or fail to take against any Lessee hereunder or by reason of any waiver of, or failure to enforce, any rights or remedies reserved to Lessor, or otherwise.

 

Section 4.07.                         Collection of Rent.  If Lessee’s interest in this Lease is assigned, whether or not in violation of the provisions hereof, Lessor may collect Basic Rent and Additional Rent from the assignee.  If the Premises is sublet to, or occupied by, or used by, any person other than Lessee, whether or not in violation hereof, Lessor after default by Lessee under this Lease, may collect Basic Rent and Additional Rent from the subtenant, user or occupant.  In either case, no such assignment, sublease or collection shall affect Lessee’s obligations hereunder, and Lessor shall apply the net amount collected to the Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other obligations of Lessee reserved in this Lease in such order as Lessor elects.

 

Section 4.08.                         Affiliate Transfers.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, Lessee may assign this Lease or sublease the Premises (or any portion thereof) without Lessor’s consent to any Affiliate of Lessee or to any person or entity which acquires all of the stock or assets of Lessee as a going concern; provided that Lessee shall deliver to Lessor, not later than twenty (20) days after the effective date of such transaction, a true and complete copy of the instrument -by which such transaction is effected or a memorandum thereof.  In the event of assignment of this Lease pursuant to this paragraph the assignee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease.  As used herein, “Affiliate of Lessee” shall mean any corporation or other entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common

 

12



 

control with Lessee or any corporation or other entity resulting from the merger or consolidation with Lessee.  The foregoing notwithstanding, no such transfer to an Affiliate of Lessee shall release Lessee of liability hereunder unless Lessor shall otherwise agree in writing at the time of the transfer.

(b)                                 Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Lease, this Lease shall not terminate, nor shall Lessee have any right to terminate this Lease or be entitled to the abatement of any rent or any reduction thereof, nor shall the obligations hereunder of Lessee be otherwise affected, by reason of any damage to or destruction of all or any part of the Premises from whatever cause, the taking of the Premises or any portion thereof by condemnation or otherwise, the prohibition, limitation or restriction of Lessee’s use of the Premises, or interference with such use by any private person or corporation, or by reason of any eviction by paramount title or otherwise, or for any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, any present or future law to the contrary notwithstanding, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the rent and all other charges payable hereunder to or on behalf of Lessor shall continue to be payable in all events and the obligations of Lessee hereunder shall continue unaffected, unless the requirement to pay or perform the same shall be terminated pursuant to an express provision of this Lease.  Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed a waiver by Lessee of any rights that it may have to bring a separate action with respect to any default by Lessor hereunder or under any other agreement.

 

(c)                                  Lessee covenants and agrees that it will remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms and that Lessee will not take any action to terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease, notwithstanding the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or other proceeding affecting Lessor in any such proceeding and notwithstanding any action with respect to this Lease which may be taken by any trustee or receiver of Lessor in any such proceeding or by any court in any such proceeding.

 

(d)                                 Except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease with respect to condemnation and casualty, Lessee waives all rights now or hereafter conferred by law (i) to quit, terminate or surrender this Lease or the Premises or any part thereof or (ii) to any abatement, suspension, deferment or reduction of the rent, or any other sums payable hereunder to or on behalf of Lessor, regardless of whether such rights shall arise from any present or future constitution, statute or rule of law.

(c)                                  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, upon the request of Lessor, Lessee shall, in addition to and concurrently with the payment of Basic Rent as required in Subsection 1.04(a), each month pay .one-twelfth of the amount (as estimated by Lessor) of the annual taxes and assessments described in Subsection 5.02(a) and the annual premiums for insurance required in Section 6.04 next becoming due and payable with respect to the Premises, and Lessee shall also pay to Lessor on demand therefor the amount by which the actual taxes and assessments and insurance premiums exceed the payment by Lessee required in this subsection.  In the event that Lessee shall timely pay any such sums to Lessor or Lessor’s designee, then Lessor shall cause such sums to be timely paid to the relevant taxing authority to cover such taxes.

 

Section 5.03.                         Utility Services.  Lessee agrees to arrange for, and to pay or cause to be paid all charges for, gas, water, sewer, electricity, light, heat, power, telephone or other communication service or other utility or service used, rendered or supplied to, upon or in connection with the Premises or any portion thereof, throughout the Lease Term, and to indemnify Lessor and save it harmless against any liability or damages arising from any interruption, curtailment or stoppage of any such utility or service.  Lessee shall also, at its sole cost and expense, procure or cause to be procured any and all necessary permits, licenses or other authorizations required for the lawful and proper use and for the installation and maintenance upon the Premises of wires, pipes, conduits, tubes and other equipment and appliances for use in supplying any such utility service to or upon the Premises.  Lessee expressly agrees that Lessor is not, nor shall it be, required to furnish to Lessee or any other occupant of the Premises, during the demised term, any water, sewer service, gas, heat, electricity, light, power or any other facilities, equipment, labor, materials or services of any kind whatsoever.

15



 

may take all such action thereon as may be necessary or appropriate for any such purpose (but nothing contained in this Lease or otherwise shall create or imply any duty upon the part of Lessor to make any such inspection or do any such work), and (b) for the purpose of showing the Premises to prospective purchasers and mortgagees and, within 12 months prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, for the purpose of showing the same to prospective lessees.  No such entry shall constitute an eviction of Lessee.

 

Section 5.06.                         Liens.  Lessee will remove and discharge any charge, lien, security interest or encumbrance upon the Premises or upon any Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other sums payable hereunder which arises for any reason, including (without limitation) all liens which arise out of the possession, use, occupancy, construction, repair or rebuilding of the Premises or by reason of labor or materials furnished or claimed to have been furnished to Lessee or for the Premises, but not including (a) the liens and encumbrances set forth in Schedule C, (b) this Lease and any assignment hereof or any sublease permitted hereunder and (c) any mortgage, charge, lien, security interest or encumbrance created or caused by Lessor or its agents, employees or representatives without the consent of Lessee.  Lessee may provide a bond or other security acceptable to Lessor to remove or pay all costs associated with the removal of any such lien.  Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as constituting the consent or request of Lessor, express or implied, to or for the performance (on behalf of or for the benefit of Lessor) by any contractor, laborer, materialman or vendor, of any labor or services or for the furnishing of any materials for any construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the Premises or any part thereof.  Notice is hereby given that Lessor will not be liable for any labor, services or materials furnished or to be furnished to Lessee, or to anyone holding an interest in the Premises or any part thereof through or under Lessee, and that no mechanic’s or other liens for any such labor, services or materials shall attach to or affect the interest of Lessor in and to the Premises.  Lessee shall have the right to contest any such lien, by appropriate proceedings in good faith, timely filed, provided, however, that Lessee shall bond over such lien or otherwise take such steps (at its expense) as may be required in order to avoid delinquency or foreclosure of such lien.  Lessor may require that Lessee post security for payment of such lien.

Section 5.08.                         Environmental Compliance.

 

(a)                                  Lessee’s Representations.  As a material inducement for Lessor to enter into this Lease, Lessee represents and warrants that (i) except as may be permitted by applicable law, throughout the Lease Term (A) all parts of the Premises will be kept free (by Lessee and others) of Hazardous Materials (as defined below) and (B) no part of the Premises will be used by Lessee or others to generate, manufacture, refine, transport, treat, store, handle, dispose of, transfer, produce or process Hazardous Materials and (ii) Lessee will not suffer or permit any activity in, at or from all or any part of the Premises that will cause or contribute to pollution (by petroleum or petroleum products, or otherwise) of the Premises in whole or in part or any other property.  “Hazardous Materials” shall mean all materials which because of their quantity, concentration or physical, chemical or infectious characteristics may cause or pose a present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly handled, treated, stored, transported, disposed of or otherwise managed.  The term shall include (without limitation) all petroleum, petroleum products, explosives, - radioactive materials, hazardous wastes, hazardous or toxic substances, any material containing 1% or more asbestos by weight or any other substance or material now or hereafter defined as a “hazardous” or “toxic” substance, material or product by the U.S.  Environmental Protection Agency or the state in which the Premises is located under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) or comparable state statutes and other Environmental Requirements (as defined below).  Lessee shall comply fully with all Environmental Requirements.  “Environmental Requirements” shall mean all applicable laws pertaining to the protection of human health and the environment, including (without limitation) employee and community right-to-know laws and all laws regarding the use, generation, storage, transportation, treatment, disposal or other handling of Hazardous Materials...  The only Hazardous Materials permitted on the Premises are cleaning products and pharmaceutical products, chemicals and solvents used in connection with the manufacturing, testing, storage and distribution of Lessee’s pharmaceutical products, and other materials in ordinary quantities which are used in the ordinary course of business and necessary for the conduct of the Permitted Uses and which Lessee uses in strict compliance with all applicable Environmental Requirements.

 

(b)                                 Lessee’s Remediation.  If during the Lease Term any Hazardous Materials are dumped, released, discharged, spilled or leaked onto or into the Premises or found to be contaminating the Premises (or if a party has reasonable cause to believe that such dumping, releasing, discharge, spilling or leak may have occurred or that such

 

17



 

Hazardous Materials may be contaminating the Premises), the party will notify the other party in writing (except in cases of an emergency as described in Section 5.05 in which event the party shall have the right to take action without such notice as provided therein) as to the matter in question.  In such event or at any other time as may be requested by Lessor, the parties will cooperate in having reasonable examinations, tests or investigations performed at Lessee’s expense to determine the extent of the problem and nature of appropriate corrective action (or if Lessee fails to cause such examinations or investigations to be performed after notice of the required action Lessor will have the right to perform them on Lessee’s behalf and at Lessee’s expense).  If such examinations demonstrate that the Premises is contaminated by Hazardous Materials at levels requiring remedial action under applicable laws, Lessee will have 30 days (or such longer time as may be reasonably necessary under the circumstances or such lesser time as may be required by emergency conditions, by law, regulation or judicial order, or by any governmental entity, whichever is sooner) after written notice from Lessor to eliminate same and (to the extent necessary) to restore the Premises to prior condition but with new non-Hazardous Materials, failing which Lessor may either terminate this Lease on written notice to Lessee or take all action deemed desirable by Lessor to effect such elimination and (to the extent necessary) restoration.  If Lessor elects the latter, upon request and as Additional Rent, Lessor will be entitled to receive from Lessee all reasonable costs and expenses in any way associated therewith, plus interest at the rate provided in Section 7.02(k) hereof.

 

(c)                                  Lessee’s Indemnity.  Lessee, for itself, its successors and assigns, hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse Lessor, its successors and assigns, and any Fee Mortgagee from, against and for any and all damages, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, penalties and expenses (excluding consequential damages but including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees), including, without limitation, any diminution in the value of the Premises, which are in any manner caused in whole or in part by the presence of any Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises or the failure of Lessee or any subtenant, agent, employee or contractor of Lessee or the Premises to comply with any Environmental Requirements, whether or not the same are known to or caused by Lessee and whether the same occur during the term of this Lease, any time prior to the term of this Lease or, with respect to any occurrence or condition on or about the Premises which is caused by any condition, act or omission prior to the expiration of this Lease, after the term of the Lease.  This indemnity shall survive the termination, expiration or forfeiture of this Lease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, such indemnities shall not be deemed to cover any acts or omissions which occurred prior to January 1, 1989, or which first occur after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.

 

(d)                                 Lessor’s Cooperation and Acknowledgment.  Unless an Event of Default shall exist hereunder or Lessee shall not be diligently performing its obligations under subsections (b) and (c) above, Lessor agrees to cooperate with Lessee in connection with (i) any claim Lessor and/or Lessee may have against any third party for the cost of any remediation conducted or to be conducted on, in and under the Premises or with respect to any damage caused to the Premises, and (ii) any insurance covering such remediation and/or damage to the Premises.  Lessor hereby assigns to Lessee any

 

18



 

and all rights, claims or causes of action Lessor may have with against such third party or in connection with such insurance to the extent of any sums paid by Lessee in fulfillment of its obligations under subsections (b) and (c) above except to the extent that such rights, claims, causes of action or insurance proceeds are necessary to fully compensate Lessor with respect to any such remediation or damage to the Premises.  Lessee agrees to pay all Lessor’s out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lessor in connection with such cooperation by Lessor in connection with a claim made by or against Lessee.  Lessor acknowledges that Lessee’s operations in the Premises involve the manufacturing, testing, storage and distribution of pharmaceutical products and use of chemicals and solvents in connection with the manufacturing, testing, storage and distribution of such products; provided, however, that such acknowledgment shall not affect or impair Lessee’s obligations under this Section 5.08.

 

ARTICLE VI

 

Section 6.01.                         Compensation.  Except as provided in Subsection 6.02(a)(i), Lessee hereby irrevocably assigns to Lessor any award, compensation or insurance payment to which Lessee may become entitled by reason of Lessee’s interest in the Premises (a) if the use, occupancy or title of the Premises or any part thereof is taken, requisitioned or sold in, by or on account of any actual or threatened eminent domain proceeding or other action by any person having the power of eminent domain (“Condemnation”) or (b) if the Premises or any part thereof is damaged or destroyed by fire, flood or other casualty, including (without limitation) vandalism (“Casualty”).  All awards, compensations, damages and insurance payments on account of any Condemnation or Casualty are herein collectively called “Compensation.” Lessor may appear in any such proceeding or action to negotiate, prosecute and adjust any claim for any Compensation, and Lessor shall collect any such Compensation.  Lessee shall pay all of Lessor’s reasonable costs and expenses in connection with each such proceeding, action, negotiation, prosecution and adjustment.  Lessee shall be entitled to participate in any such proceeding, action, negotiation, prosecution, appeal or adjustment as contemplated herein.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VI, if permissible under applicable law, any separate Compensation made to Lessee for its moving and relocation expenses, anticipated loss of business profits, loss of goodwill or fixtures and equipment paid for by Lessee and which are not part of the Premises (including, without limitation, Lessee’s Equipment) shall be paid directly to and shall be retained by Lessee (and shall not be deemed to be Compensation).  .  All Compensation shall be applied pursuant to this Article VI, and all such Compensation (less the expense of collecting such Compensation) may be called the “Net Proceeds.”

 

Section 6.02.                         Casualty.

 

(a)                                  Payment of Proceeds.

 

(i)                                     In case of any Casualty to the Premises or any part thereof where the insurance proceeds to be collected are less than $75,000 (which amount shall be increased annually by a factor of two and four tenths percent (2..4%)) (said amount being referred to herein as the “Casualty Proceeds Threshold”), the proceeds of any such insurance shall be paid to, and may be adjusted by, Lessee alone.

 

19



 

(ii)                                  In case of any Casualty to the Premises or any part thereof where the insurance proceeds to be collected exceed the Casualty Proceeds Threshold, the proceeds of any such insurance shall be paid to a depository (the “Depository”) chosen by Lessor or, if there is a Fee Mortgagee, by the Fee Mortgagee, to be disbursed in accordance with Section 6.02(e) below, and will be adjusted by Lessee with the reasonable approval of Lessor or, if there is a Fee Mortgagee, the Fee Mortgagee.  Lessor or the Fee Mortgagee may be the Depository.

 

(b)                                 Restoration of Premises.  In case of any Casualty to the Premises or any part thereof, Lessee will, at Lessee’s expense, whether or not there are insurance proceeds available or sufficient for the purpose, promptly commence and complete with due diligence the restoration of the Premises to as nearly as possible its value, condition and character immediately prior to such Casualty; provided, however, that if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, Lessor shall timely make such insurance proceeds available to Lessee for restoration.

 

(c)                                  Prompt Performance.  Restoration of the Premises under this Section 6.02 shall be performed in accordance with Section 2.04(b) hereof.  If the work of repairing, replacing or rebuilding said damaged or destroyed Premises or portion thereof shall not have been commenced promptly following the receipt of all required approvals of Lessee’s plans and specifications, or having been commenced, shall not be expeditiously proceeding, Lessor shall have all rights under this Lease in respect of a default by Lessee subject, however, to force majeure.

 

(d)                                 No Abatement.  Regardless of any Casualty to the Premises or any part thereof, Lessee shall not be entitled to any-abatement of Basic Rent, Additional Rent, or any other payment Lessee is required to make pursuant to this Lease.

 

(e)                                  Substantial Casualty; Proceeds Held by Depository.  If the insurance proceeds to be collected following a Casualty exceed the Casualty Proceeds Threshold (a “Substantial Casualty”), then Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor.  and the Fee Mortgagee in writing of such Casualty.  In case of any Substantial Casualty, the proceeds of insurance (excluding, however, proceeds payable or on account of Lessee’s Equipment) will be paid directly to the Depository and remitted by the Depository to Lessee or to the persons designated by Lessee for the costs of labor and materials as the work of repair, replacement and/or restoration progresses upon Lessee’s request and against:

 

(i)                                     a certificate by Lessee dated not more than 15 days prior to the request, setting forth the following: (A) that the sum then requested either has been paid by Lessee or is justly due to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, engineers, architects or other persons who have rendered services or furnished materials for the work therein specified, and giving a brief description of such services and materials and the several amounts so paid or due to each of said persons in respect thereto and (B) that the cost, as estimated by the person signing such certificate, of the work required to be done subsequent to the date of such

 

20



 

certificate in order to complete it does not exceed the funds remaining in the hands of the Depository after payment of the sum requested in such certificate; and

 

(ii)                                  lien waivers or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Depository and Lessor, to the effect that there has not been or may not be filed with respect to the Premises or any part thereof any construction, mechanics’, laborers’, materialmen’s or other like lien which has not been discharged of record except such as will be discharged by payment of the amount requested or contested by appropriate legal action by Lessee in accordance with Section 5.06.  In the event the insurance proceeds exceed the cost of restoration work, such excess shall be paid equally to the Lessee and the Lessor or the Fee Mortgagee, as applicable.

 

Any structural work required to be performed by Lessee under the provisions of Section 6.02(b) which involves a cost exceeding the Casualty Proceeds Threshold (as estimated by a licensed architect selected by Lessee and reasonably acceptable to Lessor and the Fee Mortgagee) shall be performed under the supervision of an architect selected by Lessee and reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and the holder of the first Fee Mortgage, and the aforesaid certificate shall also be signed by such architect as to the matters in paragraph (e)(i) above.  Any nonstructural work required to be performed by Lessee under the provisions of Section 6.02(b) which involves a cost exceeding the Casualty Proceeds Threshold (as estimated by a licensed architect selected by Lessee and reasonably acceptable to Lessor and the Fee Mortgagee) shall be performed under the supervision of an architect selected by Lessee and reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and the holder of the first Fee Mortgage, and the aforesaid certificate shall also be signed by such architect as to the matters in paragraph (e)(i) above.

 

(f)                                    Requirements of Fee Mortgagee.  Subject to Section 9.06 hereof, in the event the Fee Mortgagee requires changes to this Lease with respect to the amounts or types of insurance coverages, the duties for repair or restoration, the handling of proceeds, the application of casualty or condemnation proceeds to the restoration of the Premises or to the indebtedness secured by the Fee Mortgage or other matters, Lessee will cooperate in executing any clarification or amendment of this Lease required by the Fee Mortgagee as a condition to providing financing to Lessor.

 

Section 6.03.                         Condemnation.

 

(a)                                  Notice of Condemnation.  In the event of a Condemnation of any or all of the Premises, Lessee shall provide notice of such Condemnation to Lessor.

 

(b)                                 Substantial Condemnation.  In the event of any Condemnation of all of the Premises or so much thereof that the remainder is insufficient to permit the continued operation of Lessee’s business thereon, even if restored to an architectural unit under the provisions of this Lease (any such event being a “Substantial Condemnation”), then Lessee may, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Substantial Condemnation, deliver to.  Lessor a notice (a “Termination Notice”) of its intention to terminate this

 

21



 

Lease on the next date for payment of Basic Rent occurring not less than 120 days after delivery of the Termination Notice (the “Termination Date”).  If Lessee does not deliver a Termination Notice pursuant to the foregoing provisions, then this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Lessor shall make the Net Proceeds of the Compensation available to Lessee to repair or restore the Premises.

 

(c)                                  Award on Substantial Condemnation.  In the event of a termination of this Lease by reason of a Substantial Condemnation, the whole of any Compensation for the Premises shall be paid solely to Lessor, who shall be entitled to keep said award, including consequential and other damages and compensation of any sort for such Substantial Condemnation, without deduction therefrom for any leasehold or other interest in the Premises owned by Lessee, and in no event shall Lessee be entitled to any part of the Compensation for the Premises.  Lessee agrees to execute any documents that may be required to facilitate collection by Lessor of any Compensation for the Premises.  The foregoing shall not be construed to negate any right which Lessee might have to compensation for a taking of Lessee’s personal property (not including, however, the leasehold estate created hereby) or Lessee’s Equipment, for business interruption, or for moving expenses.

 

(d)                                 Continuance of Lease on Less Than Substantial Condemnation.  In the event of a Condemnation of any part of the Premises and if the part not taken is sufficient to permit the reasonable operation of Lessee’s business if restored as an architectural unit (in Lessee’s reasonable judgment), this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except:

 

(i)                                     The annual Basic Rent under this Lease, commencing on the date that title shall vest by reason of such taking (the “Vesting Date”), shall be reduced by an amount which bears the same proportion to the Basic Rent payable immediately prior to such taking as the then fair market rental value of the part of the Premises so taken shall bear to the then fair market rental value of the whole of the Premises immediately prior to such taking.

 

(ii)                                  Lessor shall be entitled to and shall receive and retain the Compensation payable in respect of the portion of the Premises so taken, subject to the provisions of subdivision (iii) below.

 

(iii)                               Promptly after such taking Lessee shall at Lessee’s expense, whether or not there are condemnation proceeds available or sufficient for the purpose (and provided that, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, Lessor makes available to Lessee the Net Proceeds of the award), restore that part of the Premises which remains to as nearly its former condition as circumstances will permit.  The award with respect to any Improvements shall be payable to the Depository for disbursement subject to the provisions of Section 6.02(e).  Subject to the same provisions and limitations set forth for payments in Section 6.02(e), Lessee shall receive advances from said award for the payment of the costs of labor and materials as the restoration and construction progresses.  Any balance remaining after payment of all such costs of labor and materials shall be paid to Lessor.

 

22



 

(e)                                  Cooperation of Parties.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed or deemed to vest in Lessee any ownership or title of or to the Premises.  Lessor and Lessee shall cooperate with each other and Lessor shall have the right to designate counsel to represent Lessor and if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, Lessee, in any proceeding relating to a Condemnation.

 

(f)                                    Temporary Condemnation.  In the event of a Condemnation of all or any portion of the Premises for temporary use, the foregoing provisions of this Section shall be inapplicable thereto, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect without reduction or abatement of Basic Rent or Additional Rent.  In such event, Lessee alone shall be entitled to make claim for, recover and retain any Compensation recoverable in respect of such temporary use whether in the form of rental or otherwise; provided, that any Compensation paid for any period beyond the term of this Lease shall be paid to Lessor.

 

Section 6.04.                         Required Insurance Coverage.  During the Lease Term, Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, secure and keep the following insurance (the “Insurance Requirements”) in full force and effect:

 

(a)                                  “All-risk” of physical damage coverage insurance, including earthquake damage coverage, covering the Improvements, Lessor’s Fixtures and Lessor’s Equipment on a replacement cost basis, in an amount sufficient to avoid application of any co-insurance clause and with an “agreed amount” endorsement voiding coinsurance, including a full “replacement cost” endorsement together with appropriate “demolition and increased costs of construction” endorsements.  Lessee shall be responsible for determining the applicability of “demolition and increased costs of construction” endorsements.  Lessor reserves the right to reasonably disapprove any exclusions from the “all-risk” coverage furnished hereunder.  If Lessee elects to provide blanket “all-risk” coverage over locations in addition to the Premises, Lessor reserves the right to require a specific endorsement or endorsements from the insurance companies affording such coverage evidencing coverage over the Premises in a sufficient amount to provide recovery on a replacement cost basis.  Lessee’s coverage may provide for reasonable self-insured retentions.

 

(b)                                 Commercial general liability insurance for the benefit of Lessor, Lessee and the Fee Mortgagee, fully protecting Lessor, Lessee and the Fee Mortgagee in respect of personal injuries and death to persons and property damage, with a combined single limit of not less than $5,000,000 for personal injuries and death to persons and property damage.  In the event Lessee maintains blanket liability coverage, the total limits of liability required hereunder must be available to the Premises.

 

(c)                                  Business interruption/loss of rents insurance covering all risks referenced in Section 6.04(a) for the benefit of Lessor, Lessee and, if Lessor so directs, for the benefit of the Fee Mortgagee, as their interests may appear, covering risk of loss during the lesser of the first 12 months of reconstruction or the actual reconstruction period necessitated by the occurrence of any of the covered hazards, in such amounts as may be customary for comparable properties in the area and in an amount sufficient to prevent Lessor or Lessee from becoming a co-insurer.  Lessee’s obligation for payment of rent

 

23



 

shall be reduced dollar for dollar by the amount of rent insurance received by Lessor or Fee Mortgagee.

 

(d)                                 Boiler and machinery coverage covering loss or damage, on a replacement cost basis, from explosion of any steam and pressure boilers, hot water heaters, and similar apparatus located in, on or about the Premises with limits of not less than the replacement cost of the Improvements.  In the event coverage hereunder is afforded by more than one insurance company, all such companies shall furnish a joint loss endorsement to the policies covering the risk set forth in this Section.

 

(e)                                  Flood (if the Premises is located in whole or in part within any flood plain area as designated by any department or agency of the United States Government having jurisdiction) and such other hazards and in such amounts as may be customary for comparable properties in the area, provided the same is available at rates which are economically practical in relation to the risks covered, as determined by Lessee and reasonably approved by Lessor.

 

(f)                                    Workers’ compensation insurance coverage for all persons employed by Lessee on the Premises with statutory limits and otherwise with limits of and provisions in accordance with the requirements of applicable local, state and federal law.

 

(g)                                 During the course of any construction or reconstruction in connection with any addition, renovation or any Casualty or Condemnation, “builder’s risk” coverage for the Premises written on an “all risk” basis with privilege granted to occupy in an amount not less than the full amount of the construction or reconstruction cost, during the period of any Major Alteration, which shall include the value of building materials on the Premises, covering loss or damage by fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, aircraft vehicles, smoke, earthquakes, vandalism and malicious mischief, and flood insurance (if the Premises is in a flood hazard area), and such other hazards as may be included in broad form of extended coverage from time to time available.

 

(h)                                 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the Lease Term, Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, secure and keep the insurance coverages as required in Schedule D hereto in full force and effect.

 

Section 6.05.                         Separate Insurance Coverages.  Without the prior written consent of Lessor (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Lessee shall not obtain or carry separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required by Section 6.04 to be furnished by Lessee unless Lessor and Lessee are included therein as additional named insureds, with loss payable as in this Lease except with respect to insurance covering Lessee’s Equipment and other personal property in the Premises and except with respect to business interruption insurance (provided, however, that as to loss of rents coverage Lessor shall be named as the loss payee).  Except with respect to such coverage, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor whenever any such separate insurance is obtained and shall deliver to Lessor certificates evidencing the same.

 

24



 

Section 6.06.                         Compliance With Insurance Requirements.  Lessee shall not violate or permit to be violated any of the conditions or provisions of any of the insurance policies, and Lessee shall so perform and satisfy the requirements of the companies writing such policies.  Lessee further agrees to reasonably cooperate with Lessor as and when requested to comply with loss prevention programs.

 

Section 6.07.                         Additional Coverages.  On reasonable demand of Lessor or the Fee Mortgagee, Lessee shall provide such other forms of insurance in such amounts, and/or the foregoing insurance in such additional amounts as the parties may from time to time approve, as are customarily furnished by Lessees under comparable leases in the case of property similar in use to the Premises and located in the area in which the Premises is situated, provided the same is available at rates which are economically practical in relation to the risk covered.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Lessor is or becomes the Fee Mortgagee with respect to the Premises, then Lessee shall be required to maintain insurance meeting the requirements specified in Schedule E hereto and such other requirements as Lessor may specify.

 

Section 6.08.                         Policy Provisions.  All insurance policies maintained by Lessee pursuant to Section 6.04 shall name Lessee as insured, and Lessor and the Fee Mortgagee as additional insureds and shall provide (a) that losses shall be payable notwithstanding any act or negligence of Lessee and (b) that no cancellation, nonrenewal, or material alteration in the terms and conditions of coverage thereof shall be effective until at least 30 days after written notice thereof delivered by certified mail, return-receipt requested, is given to Lessor and to the Fee Mortgagee.

 

Section 6.09.                         Companies and Form of Policies.  All policies of insurance procured by Lessee shall be issued by insurance companies licensed to do business in the State in which the Premises are located and authorized to issue such policy or policies.  All policies shall be in a form and with companies reasonably acceptable to Lessor and may be part of blanket coverage relating to various properties operated by Lessee.

 

Section 6.10.                         Handling of Proceeds by Lessee.  Insurance proceeds which are payable to Lessee alone in.  accordance with the provisions of Section 6.02(a)(i) shall be held by Lessee and used solely by Lessee to pay for the cost of making repairs, alterations and improvements to the Premises and doing such work as may be necessary to protect the Premises against further damage and for no other purpose.  If the proceeds of insurance payable to Lessee alone under Section 6.02(a)(i) shall exceed such costs, one-half of such excess shall be promptly paid by Lessee to Lessor.

 

Section 6.11.                         Handling of Proceeds by Depository.  The Compensation payable to the Depository in accordance with the provisions of this Lease shall be held in trust for the purpose of paying for the cost of the work required to be performed by Lessee under Sections 6.02 and 6.03 and the cost of making repairs, alterations and improvements to the Premises and doing such work as may be necessary to protect the Premises against further injury and shall be disbursed as provided in Section 6.02(e).  The Depository shall be entitled to reasonable compensation payable out of such funds.  If the insurance proceeds held by the Depository shall exceed such cost, such excess shall belong to and be paid over to the Lessor upon the completion of and payment for such work.

 

25



 

Section 6.12.                         Certificates of Coverage.  Upon the execution of this Lease, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor and to the Fee Mortgagee a certificate of insurance coverage as to the policies required by this Lease evidencing compliance with the terms of this Lease and bearing evidence of payment of all premiums therefor.  Thereafter, as to policy renewals, Lessee will provide Lessor and the Fee Mortgagee with certificates or assurances of continued coverage within 15 days prior to expiration of such policies.

 

Section 6.13.                         Procurement by Lessor.  If premiums on any insurance policy shall not be paid or if the memoranda of policies or certificates or evidence of payment of the premiums thereon shall not be so delivered to Lessor as required herein, or if Lessor learns of any cancellation of any policy required hereunder, Lessor may procure and/or pay for any such insurance for Lessor’s benefit only and not for the benefit of Lessee, with or without notice to Lessee.  Lessee may restore such coverage effective one year after the effective date of the insurance procured by Lessor provided Lessee furnishes evidence of such coverage and payment therefor at least 60 days prior to the expiration of said one-year policy in the form required by Section 6.04.  The amount so paid by Lessor with interest thereon at the interest rate specified in Section 7.02(k) hereof from the date of payment shall become due and payable by Lessee as Additional Rent with the next or any subsequent installment of Basic Rent which shall become due after such payment by Lessor, it being expressly covenanted that payment by Lessor of any such premium shall not be deemed to waive or release the default in the payment thereof by Lessee, or the right of Lessor to take such action as may be permissible hereunder as in the case of default in the payment of Basic Rent.

 

ARTICLE VII

 

Section 7.01.                         Events of Default.  Lessee shall be in default under this Lease if any one or more of the following events (referred to herein as “Events of Default” or “Event of Default”) shall occur:

 

(a)                                  if default shall be made in the procurement or maintenance of any insurance required under this Lease; or

 

(b)                                 if default shall be made in the payment when due of any Basic Rent or Additional Rent and such default shall continue for ten days after Lessor gives Lessee written notice of such nonpayment; or

 

(c)                                  if default shall be made in the payment of any other sum payable under this Lease and such default shall continue for ten days after Lessor gives Lessee written notice of nonpayment; or

 

(d)                                 if default shall be made by Lessee in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Lease other than those referred to in any of the other subparagraphs in this Section, and such default shall continue for a period of 60 days after.  Lessor gives Lessee written notice thereof (or if such default cannot reasonably be cured within 60 days after notice, then in the event that Lessee shall fail to commence such cure within 60 days and thereafter diligently pursue such cure to completion); or

 

26



 

(e)                                  if Lessee or any guarantor of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease (each, if any, a “Guarantor”) shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment, or similar relief for itself under any present or future federal, state or other statute, law or regulation, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of itself or of all or any substantial part of its or of the property, or shall take any general assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall admit in writing its inability to pay debts generally as they become due; or

 

(f)                                    if a petition shall be filed against Lessee or any Guarantor seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal, state or other statute, law or regulation, and shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of 60 days, or if in connection with any such event any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Lessee or such Guarantor, or of all or any substantial part of any of its property, shall be appointed without its consent or acquiescence and such appointment shall remain unvacated or unstayed for a period of 30 days; or

 

(g)                                 if Lessee shall vacate or abandon the Premises; provided, however, a failure to occupy the Premises shall not constitute a default hereunder so long as Lessee shall pay rent and all other amounts when due and perform all other obligations hereunder; or

 

(h)                                 if this Lease or the estate of Lessee hereunder shall be transferred to or shall pass to or devolve upon any other person except in a manner expressly permitted herein.

 

Section 7.02.                         Remedies Upon Lessee’s Default.

 

(a)                                  Repossession, Reletting, etc., by Lessor.  At any time after any Event of Default, Lessor, without further notice except as required by applicable law and with no liability to Lessee for any action in accordance with applicable law, may repossess the Premises by any means provided by law, including (without limitation) summary or eviction proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may remove Lessee and all other persons and any and all property from the same.  At any time or from time to time thereafter, Lessor may (but shall be under no obligation to) relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account of Lessee, in the name of Lessee or Lessor or otherwise, without notice to Lessee, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease) and on such conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) and for such purposes as Lessor in its reasonable discretion may determine, and may collect and receive the rents therefor.  Lessor shall not be liable for any failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting.

 

(b)                                 Payment of Damages.  No such expiration or sooner termination of this Lease or of Lessee’s right of possession shall relieve Lessee of its liability and

 

27



 

obligations under this Lease, all of which shall survive any such expiration or sooner termination.  In the event of any such expiration or sooner termination, Lessee will pay to Lessor the Basic Rent and all Additional Rent and other sums required to be paid by Lessee up to the time of such expiration or sooner termination, and thereafter Lessee, until the end of what would have been the term of this Lease in the absence of such expiration or sooner termination, and whether or not the Premises or any part thereof shall have been relet, shall be liable to Lessor for, and shall pay to Lessor, as and for liquidated and agreed current damages for Lessee’s default, the Basic Rent and all Additional Rent and other sums which would be payable thereafter under this Lease by Lessee, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting effected for the account of Lessee pursuant to Section 7.02(a) during the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease, after deducting all of Lessor’s reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting, including (without limitation) all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees, expenses of employees, costs incurred in alterations to the Improvements required in connection with the reletting of the Premises for use by another lessee and expenses of preparation for such reletting.  Lessee will pay such amounts to Lessor monthly on the days on which such Basic Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums would have been payable under this Lease, and Lessor shall be entitled to recover the same from Lessee on each such day.

 

(c)                                  Lump-sum Damage Payment.  At any time after such expiration or sooner termination of this Lease as provided herein or pursuant to law, whether or not Lessor shall have recovered any amounts under Section 7.02(b), Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on demand, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages for Lessee’s default, an amount equal to the sum of the following, as of the date of such payment by Lessee:

 

(i)                                     the worth of the unpaid Basic Rent and Additional Rent and other sums due and payable which had been earned at the time of such expiration or sooner termination; plus

 

(ii)                                  the worth of the unpaid Basic Rent and Additional Rent and other sums due and payable after such expiration or sooner termination and on or before the time of Lessee’s lump-sum payment pursuant hereto, after deducting from such unpaid amounts any (if any) portion thereof that Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

 

(iii)                               the worth of the unpaid Basic Rent and Additional Rent and other sums due and payable for the balance of the Lease Term or, if termination occurs during an Extension Period, such Extension Period, after deducting from such unpaid amounts any (if any) portion thereof that Lessee proves can be reasonably avoided; plus

 

(iv)                              any other amount which is necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee’s failure to perform Lessee’s obligations under this Lease or which would be likely to result therefrom, including (without limitation) any costs or expense incurred by Lessor: (A) in

 

28



 

retaking possession of the Premises; (B) in maintaining, repairing, preserving, restoring, replacing, cleaning, altering or rehabilitating the Premises or any portion thereof, including such acts for reletting to a new tenant or tenants; (C) for leasing commissions; or (D) for any other costs necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises.

 

The “worth” of the amounts referred to in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section is computed by accruing interest at the Default Rate on the unpaid rent and other sums due and payable from the respective due dates for such amounts until Lessee’s lump-sum payment pursuant hereto.  The “worth” of the amount referred to in subparagraph (iii) of this Section is computed by discounting such amount at a rate equal to the weekly average yield 10-year U.S.  Treasury Constant Maturities (as published in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H-15 [519]) on or nearest to the Friday immediately preceding the date of Lessee’s lump-sum payment pursuant hereto.

 

(d)                                 Receiver.  Lessor may have a receiver appointed for Lessee to take possession of the Premises and to apply any rent collected from the Premises and to exercise all other rights and remedies granted to Lessor as an attorney-in-fact for Lessee.

 

(e)                                  Lessee’s Equipment.  At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lessor may send written notice to Lessee to remove all of Lessee’s Equipment and property from the Premises.  If Lessee shall fail to remove such Equipment and property within ten business days after receipt of such notice from Lessor, then Lessor may remove such Equipment and property from the Premises and arrange for storage of such Equipment and property at another location, all at the sole cost and expense of Lessee.  In the event of any such removal of Lessee’s Equipment and other property from the Premises by Lessor, Lessee waives any and all claims against Lessor regarding the removal and storage of its Equipment and property including, without limitation, the manner of removal, cost of removal, location of storage, cost of storage and damage to or missing Equipment and property.

 

(f)                                    Bankruptcy or Insolvency.

 

(i)                                     If Lessee shall become a debtor in a case filed under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and Lessee or Lessee’s trustee shall fail to elect to assume this Lease within 60 days after the filing of such petition or such additional time as provided by the court, this Lease shall be deemed to have been rejected.  Immediately thereupon, Lessor shall be entitled to possession of the Premises without further obligation to Lessee or Lessee’s trustee, and this Lease, upon the election of Lessor, shall terminate, but Lessor’s right to be compensated for damages (including, without limitation, liquidated damages pursuant to any provision hereof) or the exercise of any other remedies in any such proceeding shall survive, whether or not this Lease shall be terminated.

 

(ii)                                  An assumption of this Lease in accordance with Section 7.02(f)(i) shall not limit Lessor’s right to declare an Event of.  Default hereunder and exercise any and all remedies available to it if, at any time after such assumption,

 

29



 

Lessee is liquidated or files or has filed against it a subsequent petition under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

(iii)                               When, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, Lessee’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession shall be obligated to pay reasonable use and occupancy charges for the use of the Premises, such charges shall not be less than the Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other sums payable by Lessee under this Lease.

 

(iv)                              Neither the whole nor any portion of Lessee’s interest in this Lease or its estate in the Premises shall pass to any trustee, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors or any other person or entity, by operation of law or otherwise under the laws of any state having jurisdiction of the person or property of Lessee, unless Lessor shall have consented to such transfer.  No acceptance by Lessor of rent or any other payments from any such trustee, receiver, assignee, person or other entity shall be deemed to constitute such consent by Lessor nor shall it be deemed a waiver of Lessor’s right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Lessee’s interest under this Lease without such consent.

 

(g)                                 Limitation by Law.  If any statute or rule of law governing a proceeding in which liquidated final damages provided for in Section 7.02 are to be proved shall validly limit the amount thereof to an amount less than the amount above agreed upon, Lessor shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable under such statute or rule of law.

 

(h)                                 Remedies Cumulative, Etc.  Each right, power and remedy provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any or all other such rights, powers or remedies.  The collection of any late payment charge or any interest at the Default Rate shall not be deemed an election of remedies or in lieu of any other remedies or damages.  Lessor shall have the right to specifically enforce this Lease and to enjoin any default or prospective or anticipated default hereunder.

 

(i)                                     Statutory Rights.  Lessee retains any rights of notice or rights of redemption, if any, as may be required by applicable State law.  “State” shall mean the State where the Premises are located.  However, any such notice required by law may be given by Lessor in (or, at Lessor’s option, separate from) any notice required to be given by Lessor under this Lease, and the time periods provided in this Lease and required under applicable law will not be “tacked” onto each other but will commence running from the original date of delivery of such notices.

 

(j)                                     Application of Funds.  Any payments received by Lessor under any of the provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of any Event of Default

 

30



 

(and any payment made to Lessor rather than Lessee due to the existence of an Event of Default) shall be applied to Lessee’s obligations in such order as Lessor may determine or, if prescribed by the laws of the State, in accordance with such laws.

 

(k)                                  Late Interest.  If Lessee shall fail to make any payment of any sums required by this Lease within ten days after Lessor gives notice of nonpayment, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, in addition to such sums, interest thereon at the rate of 5% per annum higher than and varying daily with the highest prime rate then being quoted from time to time by the Wall Street Journal, as an interest index for loans to its commercial customers (the “Default Rate”), computed from the date such payment was due to and including the date of payment in full.  If the Wall Street Journal ceases to quote such rate, Lessor shall have the right to substitute a reasonably comparable index for such prime rate.

 

(l)                                     No Usury.  The intention of the parties being to conform strictly to the usury laws now in force, whenever any provision in this Lease provides for payment by Lessee to Lessor of interest at a rate in excess of the legal rate permitted to be charged, such rate herein provided to be paid shall be deemed reduced to such legal rate.

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

Section 8.01.                         Lessee’s Notices and Remedies.  In the event Lessor fails to perform its responsibilities pursuant to this Lease, Lessee’s notice as to Lessor’s nonperformance will be sent simultaneously to Lessor and the Fee Mortgagee.  Lessor will be in default under this Lease if Lessor fails to cause such responsibilities to be fully performed within 30 days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor specifying the nature of the default with reasonable particularity.  If the default is of such a nature that it cannot be remedied fully within the 30-day period, this requirement shall be satisfied if Lessor begins correction of the default within the 30-day period and thereafter proceeds with reasonable diligence and in good faith to effect the remedy as soon as reasonably practicable.  Lessee shall not have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of Lessor’s default.  In the event of such default, Lessee shall have all remedies available under law for breach of contract, including (without limitation) the right of specific performance.  In addition, Lessee may elect in its discretion to perform the required action or take corrective action reasonably required to cure the default if it pertains to the Premises, in which event Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such action, together with reasonable and necessary costs and disbursements and interest, and such amounts may be deducted from the rent thereafter to become due under this Lease, after at least 20 days’ written notice to Lessor (and the Fee Mortgagee) as to the costs so incurred.

 

Section 8.02.                         Fee Mortgagee’s Right To Cure.  The Fee Mortgagee that has notified Lessee of its address in the manner provided for notices in this Lease will have the right to cure any default by Lessor.  The cure period will commence on delivery of notice to such Fee Mortgagee of the default and extend for a period ending 30 days after the end of the time period for Lessor to cure a default.  In this connection, any representative of the Fee Mortgagee shall have the right to enter upon the Premises for the purpose of curing Lessor’s default.

ARTICLE IX

 

Section 9.01.                         Subordination and Nondisturbance.  This Lease and all rights of Lessee under this Lease are, and shall at the option of Lessor remain, subject and subordinate in all respects to the Fee Mortgage and to all advances made or hereafter to be made under any such mortgage, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, correlations, replacements and extensions of, and substitutions for, the Fee Mortgage, provided that the Fee Mortgagee shall execute and deliver to Lessee a nondisturbance and attornment agreement in form and substance approved by the Fee Mortgagee and reasonably acceptable to Lessee which provides in substance that (a) if Lessor defaults under its mortgage, the Fee Mortgagee will not disturb the occupancy of Lessee and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (in the event of any such Event of Default, the Fee Mortgagee shall have such rights and remedies with respect to such default as are provided herein) and (b) Lessee shall, at the Fee Mortgagee’s option, attorn to such Fee Mortgagee and the Lease shall continue as a direct lease between such Fee Mortgagee and Lessee.  The provisions of this Section shall be self-operative.  Lessee shall also provide to the Fee Mortgagee any and all other assurances or instruments the Fee Mortgagee may reasonably request to evidence and confirm such provisions.  All such agreements shall be in form suitable for recording.

 

Section 9.02.                         Election Not To Subordinate.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.01, the holder of any mortgage to which this Lease is subject and subordinate, as provided in said Section 9.01, shall have the right, at its sole option, at any time, to subordinate and subject its mortgage, in whole or in part, to this Lease by recording a unilateral declaration to such effect.

 

Section 9.03.                         Attornment.  At any time prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, Lessee agrees, at the election and upon demand of any owner of the Premises, or of the Fee Mortgagee, to attorn, from time to time, to any such owner or holder, upon the then executors’ terms and conditions of this Lease, for the remainder of the term originally demised in this Lease and for any renewal term, provided that such owner or holder, as the case may be, shall then be entitled to possession of the Premises subject to the provisions of this Lease.  The provisions of this Section shall inure to the benefit of any such owner or holder, shall apply notwithstanding that, as a matter of law, this Lease may terminate upon the foreclosure of any such mortgage, shall be self-operative upon any such demand, and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to said provisions.  Lessee, however, upon demand of any such owner or holder agrees to execute, from time to time, instruments in confirmation of the foregoing provisions of this Section, satisfactory to any such owner or holder acknowledging such attornment and setting forth the terms and conditions of its tenancy.  Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to impair any right otherwise exercisable by any such owner or holder.

 

Section 9.04.                         Limitations on Lessee.  Lessee agrees that, if requested by Lessor or the Fee Mortgagee, Lessee shall enter into an agreement with the Fee Mortgagee whereby Lessee shall agree for the benefit of such Fee Mortgagee that Lessee will not, without in each case the prior written consent of such Fee Mortgagee, (a) amend, modify, cancel or surrender the term of this Lease except as expressly permitted by the provisions of this Lease, or enter into any

 

32



 

agreement with Lessor so to do or (b) pay any installment of Basic Rent more than one month.  in advance of the due date thereof or otherwise than in the manner provided for in this Lease.

 

Section 9.05.                         No Merger of Fee and Leasehold Estates.  There shall be no merger of this Lease nor of the leasehold estate created by this Lease with the fee estate in the Premises or any part thereof by reason of the fact that the same person, firm or corporation or other entity may acquire or own such estates directly or indirectly; and no such merger shall occur until all persons, firms, corporations and other entitled, including the Fee Mortgagee, having any interest in this Lease and the leasehold estate created hereby and the fee estate in the Premises or any party thereof shall join in a written instrument effecting such merger and shall duly record it.

 

Section 9.06.                         Changes to Lease Required by Fee Mortgagee.  In the event the Fee Mortgagee shall require reasonable modifications of this Lease which do not materially increase the obligation of Lessee hereunder or interfere with or diminish Lessee’s rights, Lessee agrees to execute such modification(s) upon request of Lessor.

 

ARTICLE X

 

Section 10.01.                  Estoppel Certificate.  Upon request, either party will, without charge, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other party, within 15 days after request therefor, a certificate certifying (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), (b) the date, if any, to which the Basic Rent has been paid, (c) whether or not there are, to the knowledge of the party, then existing any defaults under this Lease (if so, specifying the same) and (d) such other matters as may be reasonably required.  Any such certificate may be relied upon as to the facts stated therein by any actual or prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Premises from Lessor or any actual or prospective sublessee or assignee of Lessee’s interest in this Lease in connection with one of the transactions permitted or approved under.  Article IV.

 

Section 10.02.                  Financial Information.  Upon the request of Lessor from time to time, and upon Lessee’s receipt of a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Lessee, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a copy of Lessee’s balance sheet and profit and loss statement, which shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices consistently applied and accompanied by the annual audit report of an independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lessor.  The foregoing notwithstanding, Lessee’s obligation to provide the foregoing financial information will only apply in the event that Lessee is not a publicly traded company subject to the financial reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Lessor is not able to obtain such financial information by other means.

 

ARTICLE XI

 

Section 11.01.                  Quiet Enjoyment.  So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, Lessor covenants that Lessee shall, subject to the terms of this Lease, lawfully, peaceably and quietly hold, occupy, possess and enjoy the Premises during the term of

ARTICLE XII

 

Section 12.01.                  Lessor’s Reversionary Interest; Surrender of Premises.  Upon expiration or termination of this Lease, Lessor shall, at no charge to Lessor, become the owner of, and have the reversionary interest in, all of the Improvements.  Lessee shall surrender the Premises to Lessor in good repair, operating condition, working order and appearance, subject to reasonable wear and tear and (to the extent provided herein for termination after casualty) damage by fire and other casualty.  All repairs for which Lessee is responsible will be completed to the latest practical date prior to such surrender.  If this Lease is terminated in connection with a Casualty, Lessee will assign to Lessor the entire insurance proceeds pertaining to the Premises that revert to Lessor.  Lessee shall promptly remove all of its own signs, inventory, Lessee’s Equipment and other personal property that remain the property of Lessee and will restore any physical damage caused by such removal.

Section 12.03.                  Acceptance of Surrender.  No surrender to Lessor of this Lease or of the Premises or any part thereof, or of any interest therein, prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by Lessor, and no act by Lessor or any representative or agent of Lessor, other than such a written acceptance by Lessor, shall constitute an acceptance of any such surrender.

 

Section 12.04.                  Holding Over.  If Lessee remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this Lease (or any renewal term hereof) without the execution of a new lease, such holding over, in the absence of a written agreement to the contrary, shall be deemed, if Lessor so elects, to have created a tenancy from month-to-month terminable on 30 days’ notice by either party to the other.  Such month-to-month tenancy will be at a monthly rental equal to 125% of the sum of the monthly installment of Basic Rent payable during the last year of the Lease Term, and Lessee will otherwise continue to pay Additional Rent as provided in this Lease and perform its other obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE XVI

 

Section 16.01.                  Lessee’s Expansion of the Improvements:

 

16.01.1                                    Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, and provided further that Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor not later than March 31, 2003, written notice of its intent to expand the Improvements in accordance with this Article XVI (the “Expansion Notice”), then, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, Lessor shall make available funds in the amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand and no hundredths Dollars ($1;500,000.00) (the “Expansion Contribution”) toward the cost of the design and construction of an expansion of the Improvements (the “Expansion”), according to plans and specifications generated by Lessee and subject to Lessor’s prior approval for approximately 32,253 square feet (and in any event not less than thirty thousand (30,000) square feet) of additional space of Improvements (the “Expansion Plans”).

 

16.01.2                                    Lessee shall be required to provide to Lessor (a) a fixed-price contract (“Fixed Price Contract”) for such Expansion from the contractor described in Section 16.01.4 below, in accordance with a pro-forma budget subject to Lessor’s reasonable approval, and (b) a clean, irrevocable letter of credit in the principal face amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand and no hundredths Dollars ($1,500,000.00) (or such higher amount as may be required as set forth below), in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor, from a national bank reasonably acceptable to Lessor, naming Lessor as beneficiary (the “Letter of Credit”).  The Letter of Credit shall be returned to Lessee upon the “Completion of the Expansion” (as defined below).  While in no event shall Lessor be required to contribute more than One Million Five Hundred Thousand and no hundredths Dollars ($1,500,000.00) for the Expansion, the provisions of Section 16.01.1 above shall not be construed to limit the maximum size of the Expansion; provided, however, that (a) in no event shall Lessee be entitled to cause, permit, or suffer any deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, or other lien to be filed against the Premises, Improvements, sign or construction of the Expansion, the foregoing shall be not deemed to limit the cost or the Expansion, or any part thereof, and (b) in the event that the Fixed Price Contract shall be for an amount in excess of the Expansion Contribution, the principal face amount of Letter of Credit shall be increased accordingly to reflect such increased cost.  The Expansion Contribution shall be available for any and all “hard” and “soft” costs of the design and construction of the Expansion (excluding Lessee’s internal costs and wages and salaries of Lessee’s employees), including without limitation the purchase of fixtures and equipment for use in the expanded Improvements (which fixtures and equipment shall constitute Lessor’s Fixtures and shall be a part of the Improvements and shall not constitute Lessee’s Equipment).

 

16.01.3                                    The Expansion shall be performed according to the Expansion Plans, which shall be subject to Lessor’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be

 

40



 

unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if (a) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (b) Lessor shall have been furnished with the Letter of Credit and the Fixed Price Contract required above, and (c) it has been demonstrated to Lessor’s satisfaction that the proposed Expansion Improvements will impair neither the structural integrity nor the value of the existing Improvements), it being understood that the Expansion shall be designed to Lessee’s reasonable specifications, according to Lessee’s perceived needs for additional manufacturing, processing, laboratory, testing, office, warehouse or distribution space (or any combination of any of such uses), all in Lessee’s reasonable discretion.

 

16.01.4                                    The Expansion shall be performed and constructed according to the Expansion Plans, as the same may be amended from time to time, subject to Lessor’s written consent for all material modifications.  Without limiting the foregoing, Lessor’s consent shall be required for any modification or modifications which, individually or in the aggregate, would increase the projected cost of the Expansion by more than Twenty-Five Thousand and no hundredths Dollars ($25,000.00) (whether such cost is to be borne by Lessor or Lessee).  Lessor’s consent to modifications shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if it has been demonstrated to Lessor’s satisfaction that the proposed modification will impair neither the structural integrity nor the value of the existing Improvements nor of the Expansion.  All of the Expansion shall be performed by a insured, bonded contractor licensed to do business in the State of California, selected by Lessee and reasonably acceptable to Lessor.  The Expansion Contribution shall be funded by Lessor into a Depository and disbursed by the Depository as though such work were to repair the Premises after a casualty, pursuant to Section 6.02(e) hereof.  Lessor may require that it be named as beneficiary under a performance bond in connection with the Expansion.  During the construction of the Expansion, Lessee shall provide such builder’s risk insurance as Lessor may require with respect thereto, and Lessor shall be named as loss payee thereunder, to’ the extent of the Expansion Contribution.

 

16.01.5                                    Commencing on the first day of the first month following Lessor’s disbursement of the Expansion Contribution into the Depository, Lessee’s Basic Rent due under Section 1.04 of this Lease shall be increased by an amount equal to $0.50 multiplied by the gross square footage of the Expansion, such amount to be increased annually by two and four tenths percent (2.4%) during the Lease Term.

 

16.01.6                                    “Completion of the Expansion” shall mean (a) that Lessor has been furnished a final, unconditional certificate of occupancy issued for the Expansion and (b) that Lessor has been furnished a final lien waiver from Lessee’s contractor and such other evidence of payment and lien-free completion as Lessor and Lessor’s title insurer may reasonably require.  Upon Completion of the Expansion, the Lease Term for the entire Premises, including but not limited to the Expansion, shall be adjusted so that the Lease Term (exclusive of any option terms permitted under Section 1.03 of this Lease) shall end on the date which is ten (10) years from the last day of the month in which Completion of the Expansion occurs.

 

41



 

ARTICLE XVII

 

Section 17.01.                  Specific Enforcement.  Lessee’s rights contained in Section 1.04 and Articles 15 and 16 hereof shall be specifically enforceable, Lessor’s failure or refusal to honor such rights not being readily compensable by an award of damages.

This Amendment to Facility Lease (this “Amendment”) is made as of the 1st day of October, 2002, by and between GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation and the successor in interest to Heleasco Seven, Inc.  (“Lessor”), and INAMED CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation and the successor in interest to Collagen Corporation (“Lessee”), with regard to the following facts:

 

A.                                   Lessor and Lessee are parties to that certain Facility Lease, dated as of March 15, 1989 (the “Lease”).

 

B.                                     Lessor and Lessee wish to amend the Lease by terminating it with regard to the real estate described therein and by extending the term and modifying the rent with regard to the equipment described therein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Lessor and Lessee, Lessor and Lessee hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Definitions.  Capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition shall have the respective meanings assigned to those terms in the Lease.  For reference purposes, such definitions are set forth in Schedule A attached to this Amendment and by this reference incorporated into this Amendment.

 

2.                                       Equipment Lease Only.  The Lease is hereby terminated with regard to the real estate described therein and shall apply hereafter only with regard to the equipment described in Schedule B attached to this Amendment and by this reference incorporated into this Amendment.  Accordingly, as used in the Lease, the term “Leased Property” shall hereafter only refer to such equipment.

 

3.                                       Base Lease Term Extension.  The Base Lease Term is hereby extended to, and will expire at the close of business on, September 30, 2007 (the Base Lease Term Expiration Date, as amended by this Amendment).

 

4.                                       Basic Rent.  Basic Rent shall be $2,250,000 ($450,000 per year), payable in advance in sixty (60) equal monthly installments of $37,.500 each, commencing on October 1, 2002.

 

5.                                       Lessee’s Rights to Purchase.  Lessee shall have the right to purchase all of the Leased Property at the then-unamortized value (together with accrued but unpaid interest as of the date of the purchase, all according to the amortization schedule annexed hereto as Schedule C) at ‘any time.  Lessee shall have the right to purchase the Leased Property at the end of the Base Lease Term for One ($1.00) Dollar, which the Lessor and Lessee anticipate to be the fair market value of the Leased Property on the Base Lease Term Expiration Date..

 

6.                                       Casualty Loss Value.  The Casualty Loss Value for any Item of Leased Property shall be modified if and as necessary so that, at any given time, such Casualty Loss Value is equal to the cost of that Item which then remains outstanding presuming that the Basic Rent payments hereafter received are first applied to earned but unpaid interest at 7.5% per

 



 

annum.  As used in the foregoing sentence, “cost” shall refer to the pro rata portion of $1,871,449 attributable to such Item of Leased Property (which portion shall be based upon the original cost of such Item relative to the original cost of all Items at the commencement of this Lease, which original costs are set forth in Schedule B to this Amendment).

 

7.                                       Casualty Loss Value Upon Default.  The text of Section 16(a)(iii)(A) of the Lease is hereby stricken and replaced with the following:  “the Casualty Loss Value of all Items of Leased Property”, subject, however, to Section 6 of this Amendment.

 

8.                                       Assignment; Subleases.  Lessee may assign this Lease to any person to whom Lessee assigns its lease (the “Premises Lease”) of the real property located at 48490 Milmont Drive, Fremont, California (the “Premises”), provided such assignment of the Premises Lease is permitted under the Premises Lease.  Lessee may sublet the Leased Property to any person to whom Lessee sublets the Premises, provided such subletting of the Premises is permitted under the Premises Lease.  No such assignment or sublease shall constitute a release of Lessee from its obligations under this Lease.
