2.4 Delivery and Acceptance of Possession: If this Lease provides that Landlord must deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on a certain date, then if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before such date for any reason whatsoever, this Lease shall not be void or voidable for the period provided in §2.1(e) and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, but the terms of §2.2(d) and §2.2(e) shall be applicable.

which Tenant has given Landlord written notice prior to the time Tenant takes possession or within thirty (30) days thereafter and (ii) latent defects.

ARTICLE 3

RENT

3.1 Base Monthly Rent: Commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Monthly Rent set forth in Section K of the Summary.

3.2 Additional Rent: Commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay the following as additional rent (the “Additional Rent”): (i) any late charges or interest due Landlord pursuant to §3.4; (ii) Tenant’s Share of Common Operating Expenses as provided in §8.1; (iii) Landlord’s share of any Subrent received by Tenant upon certain assignments and sublettings as required by §14.1; (iv) any legal fees and costs due Landlord pursuant to §15.9; and (v) any other charges due Landlord pursuant to this Lease.

 

3.3 Payment of Rent: Concurrently with the execution of this Lease by both parties, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount set forth in Section L of the Summary as prepayment of rent for credit against the first installment(s) of Base Monthly Rent. All rent required to be paid in monthly installments (e.g., the Base Monthly Rent and installments of Tenant’s Share of Common Operating Expenses) shall be paid in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term; provided, however, that other than the monthly installments of estimated payments of Tenant’s Share of Common Operating Expenses, no installment of Additional Rent which is not to be paid on a monthly estimate basis shall be due prior to the later of (i) the first day of the month after the written bill for the installment of Additional Rent is received by Tenant, or (ii) ten (10) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of the written bill for the installment of Additional Rent. If Section K of the Summary provides that the Base Monthly Rent is to be increased during the Lease Term and if the date of such increase does not fall on the first day of a calendar month, such increase shall become effective on the first day of the next calendar month. All rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States, without any abatement, deduction or offset whatsoever (except as specifically provided in this Lease), and without any prior demand therefor. Rent shall be paid to Landlord at its address set forth in Section Q of the Summary, or at such other place within the continental United States as Landlord may designate from time to time. Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and Tenant’s Share of Common Operating Expenses shall be prorated at the commencement and expiration of the Lease Term.

3.4 Late Charge and Interest on Rent in Default: If any Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent is not received by Landlord from Tenant within ten (10) calendar days after Landlord has notified Tenant in writing that payment of such rent has not been received by Landlord, then Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge equal to 5% of such delinquent rent as liquidated damages for Tenant’s failure to make timely payment. In no event shall this provision for a late charge be deemed to grant to Tenant a grace period or extension of time within which to pay any rent or prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant’s failure to pay any rent due under this


 

4


LEASE

 

 

Lease in a timely fashion, including any right to terminate this Lease pursuant to §13.2C. If any rent remains delinquent for a period in excess of thirty (30) days then, in addition to such late charge, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on any rent that is not paid when due at the Agreed Interest Rate following the date such amount became due until paid.

3.5 Security Deposit: On the Effective Date, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the amount set forth in Section M of the Summary as security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, and not as prepayment of rent (the “Security Deposit”). Landlord may from time to time apply such portion of the Security Deposit as is reasonably necessary for the following purposes: (i) to remedy any Event of Tenant’s Default in the payment of rent; (ii) to repair damage to the Premises caused by Tenant; (iii) to clean the Premises upon termination of this Lease; (iv) to remedy any other Event of Tenant’s Default to the extent permitted by Law; and (v) if the Lease has expired or been earlier terminated, to remedy and cure any default by Tenant; and, in this regard, Tenant hereby waives any restriction on the uses to which the Security Deposit may be put contained in California Civil Code Section 1950.7. In the event the Security Deposit or any portion thereof is so used, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord promptly upon demand (not later than seven (7) days after such demand is made) an amount in cash sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full original amount. Landlord shall not be deemed a trustee of the Security Deposit, may use the Security Deposit in business, and shall not be required to segregate it from its general accounts.

At the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term, all Tenant’s Alterations shall be surrendered to Landlord as part of the realty and shall then become Landlord’s property, and Landlord shall have no obligation to reimburse Tenant for all or any portion of the value or cost thereof; provided, however, that if Landlord requires Tenant to remove any Tenant’s Alterations, Tenant shall so remove such Tenant’s Alterations prior to the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.

5.6 Amortization of Certain Capital Improvements: Subject to the terms of §5.4, Tenant shall pay Additional Rent in the event Landlord is required to make any of the following kinds of capital improvements to the Project: (i) capital improvements required to be constructed in order to comply with any Law (excluding any Hazardous Materials Law) not in effect (or applicable to the Project) as of the Effective Date; (ii) replacement of capital improvements or building service equipment (e.g., the HVAC or plumbing systems) existing as of the Effective Date or installed as part of the Tenant Improvements when required in Landlord’s reasonable judgment due to wear and tear, breakdown, or obsolescence; and (iii) restoration of any part of the Project that has been damaged by any peril to the extent the cost thereof is not covered by insurance proceeds actually recovered by Landlord up to a maximum amount per occurrence of 5% of the then replacement cost of the Project.

A. All reasonable, out-of-pocket, third-party costs paid by Landlord to construct such improvements shall be amortized over the useful lives of such improvements (as reasonably determined by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) with interest on the unamortized balance at the then prevailing market rate Landlord would pay if it borrowed funds to construct such improvements from an institutional lender, and Landlord shall inform Tenant of the monthly amortization payment required to so amortize such costs, and shall also provide Tenant with the information upon which such determination is made.

 

B. As Additional Rent, Tenant shall pay at the same time the Base Monthly Rent is due an amount equal to Tenant’s Share of that portion of such monthly amortization payment fairly allocable to the Building (as reasonably determined by Landlord) for each month after such improvements are completed until the first to occur of (i) the expiration of the Lease Term (as it may be extended), or (ii) the end of the term over which such costs were amortized.

E. It is understood that mold spores are present essentially everywhere and that mold can grow in any moist location. To prevent mold as best possible, requires prevention of moisture and good housekeeping and ventilation practices. Tenant acknowledges the necessity of housekeeping, ventilation, and moisture control (especially in kitchens, janitor’s closets, bathrooms, break rooms and around outside walls) for mold prevention, all to be conducted by Tenant. In signing this Lease, Tenant has first inspected the Premises and certifies that it has not observed mold, mildew or moisture within the Premises. Tenant agrees to immediately notify Landlord if it observes mold/mildew and/or moisture conditions (from any source, including leaks), and allow Landlord to evaluate and make recommendations and/or take appropriate corrective action if required hereunder. Tenant relieves Landlord from any liability for any bodily injury or damages to property or any other damage whatsoever caused by, alleged to be caused by, or associated with moisture or the growth of or occurrence of mold or mildew on the Premises.

All replacements by Landlord shall be promptly made with new materials of like kind and quality. Landlord shall not be responsible for repairs required by an accident, fire or other peril or for damage caused to any part of the Project by any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents except as otherwise required by Article 11.

C. If the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Project caused by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents after the Commencement Date (which shall not include any migration of Hazardous Materials from locations outside the Project) results in contamination or deterioration of water or soil resulting in a level of contamination greater than the levels established as acceptable by any governmental agency having jurisdiction over such contamination, then Tenant shall promptly take any and all action necessary to investigate and remediate such contamination if required by Law or as a condition to the issuance or continuing effectiveness of any governmental approval which relates to the use of the Project or any part thereof.

If Tenant so requests, Landlord shall supply Tenant with copies of such test results. The cost of such tests and of the installation, maintenance, repair and replacement of such wells shall be paid by Tenant if such tests disclose the existence of facts which give rise to liability of Tenant pursuant to Tenant’s indemnity which is given in §7.2C and/or §7.2D.

8.3 Real Property Taxes Defined: The term “Real Property Taxes” shall mean all taxes, assessments, levies, and other charges of any kind or nature whatsoever, general and special, foreseen and unforeseen (including all installments of principal and interest required to pay any existing or future general or special assessments for public improvements, services or benefits, and any increases resulting from reassessments resulting from a change in ownership, new construction, or any other cause), now or hereafter imposed by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or special district having the direct or indirect power to tax or levy assessments, which are levied or assessed against, or with respect to the value, occupancy or use of all or any portion of the Project (as now constructed or as may at any time hereafter be constructed, altered, or otherwise changed) or Landlord’s interest therein, the fixtures, equipment and other property of Landlord, real or personal, that are an integral part of and located on the Project, the gross receipts, income, or rentals from the Project, or the use of parking areas, public utilities, or energy within the Project, or Landlord’s business of leasing the Project. If at any time during the Lease Term the method of taxation or assessment of the Project prevailing as of the Effective Date shall be altered so that in lieu of or in addition to any Real Property Tax described above there shall be levied, assessed or imposed (whether by reason of a change in the method of taxation or assessment, creation of a new tax or charge, or any other cause) an alternate or additional tax or charge (i) on the value, use or occupancy of the Project or Landlord’s interest therein, or (ii) on or measured by the gross receipts, income or rentals from the Project, on Landlord’s business of leasing the Project, or computed in any manner with respect to the operation

 

of the Project, then any such tax or charge, however designated, shall be included within the meaning of the term “Real Property Taxes” for purposes of this Lease. If any Real Property Tax is based upon property or rents unrelated to the Project, then only that part of such Real Property Tax that is fairly allocable to the Project shall be included within the meaning of the term “Real Property Taxes”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Real Property Taxes” shall not include estate, inheritance, transfer, gift or franchise taxes of Landlord or the federal or state net income tax imposed on Landlord’s income from all sources.

LEASE

 

 

B. Where applicable and required by Landlord, each policy of insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this §9.1: (i) shall name Landlord and such other parties in interest as Landlord reasonably designates as additional insured; (ii) shall be primary insurance which provides that the insurer shall be liable for the full amount of the loss up to and including the total amount of liability set forth in the declarations without the right of contribution from any other insurance coverage of Landlord; (iii) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; (iv) shall be carried with companies reasonably acceptable to Landlord; (v) shall provide that such policy shall not be subject to cancellation, lapse or change except after at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord so long as such provision of thirty (30) days’ notice is reasonably obtainable, but in any event not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice; (vi) shall contain a cross liability endorsement; and (vii) shall contain a “severability” clause. If Tenant has in full force and effect a blanket policy of liability insurance with the same coverage for the Premises as described above, as well as other coverage of other premises and properties of Tenant, or in which Tenant has some interest, such blanket insurance shall satisfy the requirements of this §9.1.

C. A copy of each paid-up policy evidencing the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this §9.1 (appropriately authenticated by the insurer) or a certificate of the insurer, certifying that such policy has been issued, providing the coverage required by this §9.1, and containing the provisions specified herein, shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the time Tenant or any of its Agents enters the Premises and upon renewal of such policies, but not less than five (5) days prior to the expiration of the term of such coverage. Landlord may, at any time, and from time to time, inspect and/or copy any and all insurance policies required to be procured by Tenant pursuant to this §9.1. If any Lender or insurance advisor reasonably determines at any time that the amount of coverage required for any policy of insurance

 

Tenant is to obtain pursuant to this §9.1 is not that generally carried by tenants of comparable buildings and is not adequate, then Tenant shall increase such coverage for such insurance to such amount as such Lender or insurance advisor reasonably deems adequate, not to exceed the level of coverage for such insurance commonly carried by comparable businesses similarly situated.

9.2 Landlord’s Insurance: Landlord shall have the following obligations and options regarding insurance:

A. Landlord shall maintain a policy or policies of fire and property damage insurance in so-called “all risk” form insuring Landlord (and such others as Landlord may designate) against loss of rents for a period of not less than twelve (12) months and from physical damage to the Project with coverage of not less than the full replacement cost thereof. Landlord may so insure the Project separately, or may insure the Project with other property owned by Landlord which Landlord elects to insure together under the same policy or policies. Such fire and property damage insurance (i) may be endorsed to cover loss caused by such additional perils against which Landlord may elect to insure, including earthquake and/or flood and to provide such additional coverage as Landlord reasonably elects, and (ii) shall contain reasonable deductibles which, in the case of earthquake and flood insurance, may be up to 15% of the replacement value of the property insured or such higher amount as is then commercially reasonable Landlord shall not be required to cause such insurance to cover any Trade Fixtures or Tenant’s Alterations of Tenant.

B. Landlord may maintain a policy or policies of commercial general liability insurance insuring Landlord (and such others as are designated by Landlord) against liability for personal injury, bodily injury, death and damage to property occurring or resulting from an occurrence in, on or about the Project, with combined single limit coverage in such amount as Landlord from time to time determines is reasonably necessary for its protection.

9.3 Tenant’s Obligation to Reimburse: If Landlord’s insurance rates for the Building are increased at any time during the Lease Term as a result of the nature of Tenant’s use of the Premises, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the full amount of such increase immediately upon receipt of a bill from Landlord therefore.

9.4 Release and Waiver of Subrogation: The parties hereto release each other, and their respective agents and employees, from any liability for injury to any person or damage to property that is caused by or results from any risk insured against under any valid and collectible insurance policy carried by either of the parties which contains a waiver of subrogation by the insurer and is in force at the time of such injury or damage; subject to the following limitations: (i) the foregoing provision shall not apply to the commercial general liability insurance described by subparagraphs §9.1A and §9.2B; (ii) such release shall apply to liability resulting from any risk insured against or covered by self-insurance maintained or provided by Tenant to satisfy the requirements of §9.1 to the extent permitted by this Lease; and (iii) Tenant shall not be released from any such liability to the extent any damages resulting from such injury or damage are not covered by the recovery obtained by Landlord from such insurance, but only if the insurance in question permits such partial release in connection with obtaining a waiver of subrogation from the insurer. This release shall be in effect only so long as the applicable insurance policy contains a clause to the effect that this release shall not affect the right of the insured to recover under such policy. Each party shall use reasonable efforts to cause each insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the insurer waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against the other party and its agents and employees in connection with any injury or damage covered by such policy. However, if any insurance policy cannot be obtained with such a waiver of subrogation, or if such waiver of subrogation is only available at additional cost and the party for whose benefit the waiver is to be obtained does not pay such additional cost, then the party obtaining such insurance shall notify the other party of that fact and thereupon shall be relieved of the obligation to obtain such waiver of subrogation rights from the insurer with respect to the particular insurance involved.

LIMITATION ON LANDLORD’S LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY

10.1 Limitation on Landlord’s Liability: Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, nor shall Tenant be entitled to terminate this Lease or to any abatement of rent (except as expressly provided otherwise herein), for any injury to Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, damage to the property of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, or loss to Tenant’s business resulting from any cause, including without limitation any: (i) failure, interruption or installation of any HVAC or other utility system or service; (ii) failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any utilities or services when such failure or delay is caused by fire or other peril, the elements, labor disturbances of any character, or any other accidents or other conditions beyond the reasonable control of Landlord; (iii) limitation, curtailment, rationing or restriction on the use of water or electricity, gas or any other form of energy or any services or utility serving the Project; or (iv) vandalism or forcible entry by unauthorized persons or the criminal act of any person, or (v) penetration of water into or onto any portion of the Premises through roof leaks or otherwise (except that this shall not eliminate Landlord’s duty under Section 3 of the Addendum to repair leaks occurring within nine (9) months of the Commencement Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to §9.4, Landlord shall be liable for any such injury, damage or loss which is proximately caused by Landlord’s willful misconduct or gross negligence of which Landlord has actual notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure but which it fails to so cure.

10.2 Limitation on Tenant’s Recourse: If Landlord is a corporation, trust, partnership, joint venture, unincorporated association or other form of business entity: (i) the obligations of Landlord shall not constitute personal obligations of the officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers, members, owners, stockholders, or other principals or representatives of such business entity; and (ii) Tenant shall not have recourse to the assets of such officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers, members, owners, stockholders, principals or representatives except to the extent of their interest

The provisions of this §10.3 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 11

DAMAGE TO PREMISES

11.1 Landlord’s Duty to Restore: If the Premises are damaged by any peril after the Effective Date, Landlord shall restore the Premises unless this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to §11.2 or by Tenant pursuant to §11.3. All insurance proceeds available from the fire and property damage insurance carried by Landlord pursuant to §9.2 shall be paid to and become the property of Landlord. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to either §11.2 or §11.3, then all insurance proceeds available from insurance carried by Tenant which covers loss to property that is Landlord’s property or would become Landlord’s property on termination of this Lease shall be paid to and become the property of Landlord.

 

If this Lease is not so terminated, then upon receipt of the insurance proceeds (if the loss is covered by insurance) and the issuance of all necessary governmental permits, Landlord shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion the restoration of the Premises, to the extent then allowed by Law, to substantially the same condition in which the Premises were immediately prior to such damage. Landlord’s obligation to restore shall be limited to the Premises and interior improvements constructed by Landlord as they existed as of the Commencement Date, excluding any Tenant’s Alterations, Trade Fixtures and/or personal property constructed or installed by Tenant in the Premises. Tenant shall forthwith replace or fully repair all Tenant’s Alterations and Trade Fixtures installed by Tenant and existing at the time of such damage or destruction, and all insurance proceeds received by Tenant from the insurance carried by it pursuant to §9.1A(2) shall be used for such purpose.

11.2 Landlord’s Right to Terminate: Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease in the event any of the following occurs, which right may be exercised only by delivery to Tenant of a written notice of election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the date of such damage:

A. Either the Project or the Building is damaged by an Insured Peril to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore exceeds 33% of the then actual replacement cost thereof;

B. Either the Project or the Building is damaged by an Uninsured Peril to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore exceeds 5% of the then actual replacement cost thereof; provided, however, that Landlord may not terminate this Lease pursuant to this §11.2B if one or more tenants of the Project agree in writing to pay the amount by which the cost to restore the damage exceeds such amount and subsequently deposit such amount with Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord has notified Tenant of its election to terminate this Lease;

C. The Premises are damaged by any peril within twelve (12) months of the last day of the Lease Term to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore equals or exceeds an amount equal to six times the Base Monthly Rent then due; provided, however, that Landlord may not


 

17


LEASE

 

 

terminate this Lease pursuant to this §11.2C if Tenant, at the time of such damage, has a then valid express written option to extend the Lease Term and Tenant exercises such option to extend the Lease Term within fifteen (15) days following the date of such damage; or

D. Either the Project or the Building is damaged by any peril and, because of the Laws then in force, (i) cannot be restored at reasonable cost to substantially the same condition in which it was prior to such damage, or (ii) cannot be used for the same use being made thereof before such damage if restored as required by this Article.

E. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (i) the term “Insured Peril” shall mean a peril actually insured against for which the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord are sufficient (except for any “deductible” amount specified by such insurance) to restore the Project under then existing building codes to the condition existing immediately prior to the damage; and (ii) the term “Uninsured Peril” shall mean any peril which is not an Insured Peril. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the “deductible” for earthquake or flood insurance exceeds 2% of the replacement cost of the improvements insured, such peril shall be deemed an “Uninsured Peril”.

11.3 Tenant’s Right to Terminate: If the Premises are damaged by any peril and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease or is not entitled to terminate this Lease pursuant to §11.2, then as soon as reasonably practicable, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the written opinion of Landlord’s architect or construction consultant as to when the restoration work required of Landlord may be completed. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease in the event any of the following occurs, which right may be exercised only by delivery to Landlord of a written notice of election to terminate within fifteen (15) days after Tenant receives from Landlord the estimate of the time needed to complete such restoration.

A. The Premises are damaged by any peril and, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s

 

architect or construction consultant, the restoration of the Premises cannot be substantially completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such damage; or

B. The Premises are damaged by any peril within twelve (12) months of the last day of the Lease Term and, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s architect or construction consultant, the restoration of the Premises cannot be substantially completed within ninety (90) days after the date of such damage and such damage renders unusable more than 30% of the Premises.

11.4 Abatement of Rent: In the event of damage to the Premises which does not result in the termination of this Lease, the Base Monthly Rent and the Additional Rent shall be temporarily abated during the period of restoration in proportion to the degree to which Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired by such damage. Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of Tenant’s business or property or for any inconvenience or annoyance caused by such damage or restoration. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) and the provisions of any similar law hereinafter enacted.

ARTICLE 12

CONDEMNATION

12.1 Landlord’s Termination Right: Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease if, as a result of a taking by means of the exercise of the power of eminent domain (including a voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to a condemnor under threat of condemnation), (i) all or any part of the Premises is so taken, (ii) more than 20% of the Building Leasable Area is so taken, or (iii) more than 50% of the Common Area is so taken. Any such right to terminate by Landlord must be exercised within a reasonable period of time, to be effective as of the date possession is taken by the condemnor.

12.2 Tenant’s Termination Right: Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease if, as a result of


 

18


LEASE

 

 

any taking by means of the exercise of the power of eminent domain (including any voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to any condemnor under threat of condemnation), (i) 10% or more of the Premises is so taken and that part of the Premises that remains cannot be restored within a reasonable period of time and thereby made reasonably suitable for the continued operation of the Tenant’s business, or (ii) there is a taking affecting the Common Area and, as a result of such taking, Landlord cannot provide parking spaces within reasonable walking distance of the Premises equal in number to at least 80% of the number of spaces allocated to Tenant by §2.1, whether by rearrangement of the remaining parking areas in the Common Area (including construction of multi-deck parking structures or restriping for compact cars where permitted by Law) or by alternative parking facilities on other land which is within reasonable walking distance from the Project. Tenant must exercise such right within a reasonable period of time, to be effective on the date that possession of that portion of the Premises or Common Area that is condemned is taken by the condemnor.

12.3 Restoration and Abatement of Rent: If any part of the Premises or the Common Area is taken by condemnation and this Lease is not terminated, then Landlord shall restore the remaining portion of the Premises and Common Area and interior improvements constructed by Landlord as they existed as of the Commencement Date, excluding any Tenant’s Alterations, Trade Fixtures and/or personal property constructed or installed by Tenant. Thereafter, except in the case of a temporary taking, as of the date possession is taken the Base Monthly Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion that the floor area of that part of the Premises so taken (less any addition thereto by reason of any reconstruction) bears to the original floor area of the Premises.

12.4 Temporary Taking: If any portion of the Premises is temporarily taken for one year or less, this Lease shall remain in effect. If any portion of the Premises is temporarily taken by condemnation for a period which exceeds one year or which extends beyond the natural expiration of the Lease Term, and such taking materially and adversely affects Tenant’s ability to use the Premises for the Permitted Use, then

 

Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease, effective on the date possession is taken by the condemnor.

12.5 Division of Condemnation Award: Any award made as a result of any condemnation of the Premises or the Common Area shall belong to and be paid to Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in any such award; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to receive any condemnation award that is made directly to Tenant for the following so long as the award made to Landlord is not thereby reduced: (i) for the taking of personal property or Trade Fixtures belonging to Tenant; (ii) for the interruption of Tenant’s business or its moving costs; (iii) for loss of Tenant’s goodwill; or (iv) for any temporary taking where this Lease is not terminated as a result of such taking. The rights of Landlord and Tenant regarding any condemnation shall be determined as provided in this Article, and each party hereby waives the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130 and the provisions of any similar law hereinafter enacted allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises.

ARTICLE 13

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

13.1 Events of Tenant’s Default: Tenant shall be in default of its obligations under this Lease if any of the following events occurs (an “Event of Tenant’s Default”):

A. Tenant shall have failed to pay Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent when due, and such failure is not cured within three (3) Business Days after delivery of written notice from Landlord specifying such failure to pay; or

B. Tenant shall have failed to perform any term, covenant, or condition of this Lease except those requiring the payment of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent, and Tenant shall have failed to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord specifying the nature of such breach where such breach


 

19


LEASE

 

 

could reasonably be cured within said 30 day period, or if such breach could not be reasonably cured within said 30 day period, Tenant shall have failed to commence such cure within said 30 day period and thereafter continue with due diligence to prosecute such cure to completion within such time period as is reasonably needed but not to exceed ninety (90) days from the date of Landlord’s notice; or

C. Tenant shall have sublet the Premises or assigned its interest in the Lease in violation of the provisions contained in Article 14; or

D. Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises; or

E. The occurrence of the following: (i) the making by Tenant of any general arrangements or assignments for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Tenant becomes a “debtor” as defined in 11 USC '101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; provided, however, in the event that any provision of this §13.1E is contrary to any applicable Law, such provision shall be of no force or effect; or

F. Tenant shall have failed to deliver documents required of it pursuant to §15.4 or §15.6 within the time periods specified therein.

13.2 Landlord’s Remedies: If an Event of Tenant’s Default occurs, Landlord shall have the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by any Law or otherwise provided in this Lease, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively or in the alternative:

A. Landlord may keep this Lease in effect and enforce by an action at law or in equity all of its rights and remedies under this Lease,

 

including (i) the right to recover the rent and other sums as they become due by appropriate legal action; (ii) the right to make payments required of Tenant or perform Tenant’s obligations and be reimbursed by Tenant for the cost thereof with interest at the Agreed Interest Rate from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant; and (iii) the remedies of injunctive relief and specific performance to compel Tenant to perform its obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease, in the event of a breach of an obligation by Tenant which results in a condition which poses an imminent danger to safety of persons or damage to property, an unsightly condition visible from the exterior of the Building, or a threat to insurance coverage, then if Tenant does not cure such breach within three (3) days after delivery to it of written notice from Landlord identifying the breach, Landlord may cure the breach of Tenant and be reimbursed by Tenant for the cost thereof with interest at the Agreed Interest Rate from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant.

B. Landlord may enter the Premises and release them to third parties for Tenant’s account for any period, whether shorter or longer than the remaining Lease Term. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in releasing the Premises, including brokers’ commissions, expenses of altering and preparing the Premises required by the releasing. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the rent and other sums due under this Lease on the date the rent is due, less the rent and other sums Landlord received from any releasing. No act by Landlord allowed by this subparagraph shall terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that Landlord elects to terminate this Lease. Notwithstanding any releasing without termination, Landlord may later elect to terminate this Lease because of the default by Tenant.

C. Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice of termination, in which event this Lease shall terminate on the


 

20


LEASE

 

 

date set forth for termination in such notice. Any termination under this §13.2C shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay sums then due Landlord or from any claim against Tenant for damages or rent previously accrued or then accruing. In no event shall any one or more of the following actions by Landlord, in the absence of a written election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, constitute a termination of this Lease: (i) appointment of a receiver or keeper in order to protect Landlord’s interest hereunder; (ii) consent to any subletting of the Premises or assignment of this Lease by Tenant, whether pursuant to the provisions hereof or otherwise; or (iii) any other action by Landlord or Landlord’s Agents intended to mitigate the adverse effects of any breach of this Lease by Tenant, including without limitation any action taken to maintain and preserve the Premises or any action taken to relet the Premises or any portions thereof to the extent such actions do not affect a termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises.

D. In the event Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons the Premises, this Lease shall not terminate unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of its election to so terminate this Lease. No act by or on behalf of Landlord intended to mitigate the adverse effect of such breach, including those described by §13.C, shall constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of termination. Should Landlord not terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice, Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due under the Lease as provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.4.

E. In the event Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, at Landlord’s election, to damages in an amount as set forth in California Civil Code Section 1951.2 as in effect on the Effective Date. For purposes of computing damages pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.2, (i) an interest rate equal to the Agreed Interest Rate shall be used where

 

permitted, and (ii) the term “rent” includes Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent. Such damages shall include:

(1) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, 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%); and

(2) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including the following: (i) expenses for cleaning, repairing or restoring the Premises; (ii) expenses for altering, remodeling or otherwise improving the Premises for the purpose of reletting, including installation of leasehold improvements (whether such installation be funded by a reduction of rent, direct payment or allowance to a new tenant, or otherwise); (iii) broker’s fees, advertising costs and other expenses of reletting the Premises; (iv) costs of carrying the Premises, such as taxes, insurance premiums, utilities and security precautions; (v) expenses in retaking possession of the Premises; and (vi) attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by Landlord in retaking possession of the Premises and in releasing the Premises or otherwise incurred as a result of Tenant’s default.

F. Nothing in this §13.2 shall limit Landlord’s right to indemnification from Tenant as provided in §7.2 and §10.3. Any notice given by Landlord in order to satisfy the requirements of §13.1A or §13.1B above shall also satisfy the notice requirements of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 regarding unlawful detainer proceedings.

13.3 Waiver: One party’s consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the first party’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the first party’s consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act by the other party. The receipt by Landlord of any rent or payment with or without knowledge of the breach of any other provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any such breach unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Landlord. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to either party upon any breach by the other party under this Lease shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such breach theretofore or thereafter occurring. The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or of any other provisions herein contained.

13.4 Limitation On Exercise of Rights: At any time that an Event of Tenant’s Default has occurred and remains uncured, (i) it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to deny or withhold any consent or approval requested of it by Tenant which Landlord would otherwise be obligated to give, and (ii) Tenant may not exercise any option to extend, right to terminate this Lease, or other right granted to it by this Lease which would otherwise be available to it.

13.5 Waiver by Tenant of Certain Remedies: Tenant waives the provisions of Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code and any similar or successor law regarding Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease or to make repairs and deduct the expenses of such repairs from the rent due under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives any right of redemption or relief from forfeiture under the laws of the State of California, or under any other present or future law, including the provisions of Sections 1174 and 1179 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

ARTICLE 14

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

14.1 Transfer By Tenant: The following provisions shall apply to any assignment, subletting or other transfer by Tenant or any subtenant or

 

assignee or other successor in interest of the original Tenant (collectively referred to in this §14.1 as “Tenant”):

A. Tenant shall not do any of the following (collectively referred to herein as a “Transfer”), whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned: (i) sublet all or any part of the Premises or allow it to be sublet, occupied or used by any person or entity other than Tenant; (ii) assign its interest in this Lease; (iii) mortgage or encumber this Lease (or otherwise use this Lease as a security device) in any manner; or (iv) materially amend or modify an assignment, sublease or other transfer that has been previously approved by Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord, but not to exceed $1,500 per requested Transfer for non-litigated evaluation and documentation of the requested Transfer, in connection with the evaluation, processing, and/or documentation of any requested Transfer, whether or not Landlord’s consent is granted. Landlord’s reasonable costs shall include the cost of any review or investigation performed by Landlord or consultant acting on Landlord’s behalf of (i) Hazardous Materials (as defined in §7.2G of this Lease) used, stored, released, or disposed of by the potential Subtenant or Assignee, and/or (ii) violations of Hazardous Materials Law (as defined in §7.2G of this Lease) by Tenant or the proposed Subtenant or Assignee. Any Transfer so approved by Landlord shall not be effective until Tenant has delivered to Landlord an executed counterpart of the document evidencing the Transfer which (i) is in a form reasonably approved by Landlord; (ii) contains the same terms and conditions as stated in Tenant’s notice given to Landlord pursuant to §14.1B; and (iii) in the case of an assignment of this Lease, contains the agreement of the proposed transferee to assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease arising after the effective date of such Transfer and to remain jointly and severally liable therefore with Tenant. Any attempted Transfer without Landlord’s consent shall constitute an Event of


 

22


LEASE

 

 

Tenant’s Default and shall be voidable at Landlord’s option. Landlord’s consent to any one Transfer shall not constitute a waiver of the provisions of this §14.1 as to any subsequent Transfer or a consent to any subsequent Transfer. No Transfer, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its personal and primary obligation to pay the rent and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease nor to be a consent to any Transfer.

B. At least fifteen (15) days before a proposed Transfer is to become effective, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of the proposed terms of such Transfer and request Landlord’s approval, which notice shall include the following: (i) the name and legal composition of the proposed transferee; (ii) a current financial statement of the transferee, financial statements of the transferee covering the preceding three years if the same exist, and (if available) an audited financial statement of the transferee for a period ending not more than one year prior to the proposed effective date of the Transfer, all of which statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; (iii) the nature of the proposed transferee’s business to be carried on in the Premises; (iv) all consideration to be given on account of the Transfer; (v) a current financial statement of Tenant; and (vi) an accurately filled out response to Landlord’s standard Hazardous Materials Questionnaire. Tenant shall provide to Landlord such other information as may be reasonably requested by Landlord within five (5) days after Landlord’s receipt of such notice from Tenant. Landlord shall respond in writing to Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to a Transfer within the later of (i) ten (10) days of receipt of such request together with the required accompanying documentation, or (ii) five (5) days after Landlord’s receipt of all information which Landlord reasonably requests within seven (7) days after it receives Tenant’s first notice regarding the Transfer in question. If Landlord fails to respond in writing within said period, and if Tenant gives Landlord written notice

 

demanding a response in regard to consent, and Landlord still does not respond with consent or refusal to consent within seven (7) days of such demand begin served, then Landlord will be deemed to have consented to such Transfer. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any material modification to the proposed terms of such Transfer.

C. In the event that Tenant seeks to make any Transfer by a sublease for all or substantially all of the Premises and for all or substantially all of the remaining Lease Term, or by assignment of this Lease (other than by a Permitted Transfer), Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease, either (i) on the condition that the proposed transferee immediately enter into a direct lease of the Premises with Landlord on the same terms and conditions contained in Tenant’s notice, or (ii) so that Landlord is thereafter free to lease the Premises to whomever it pleases on whatever terms are acceptable to Landlord. In the event Landlord elects to so terminate this Lease, Landlord shall notify Tenant within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s notice of the proposed Transfer. Then (i) if such termination is conditioned upon the execution of a lease between Landlord and the proposed transferee, Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall not be terminated until the earlier of (A) the date on which such transferee executes a new lease with Landlord and enters into possession, or (B) thirty (30) days after Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease, and (ii) if Landlord elects simply to terminate this Lease, the Lease shall so terminate in its entirety fifteen (15) days after Landlord has notified Tenant in writing of such election. Upon such termination, Tenant shall be released from any further obligation under this Lease other than those obligations which survive the expiration of the Lease and those obligations accruing or based on events occurring before the date of termination.

D. If Landlord consents to a Transfer proposed by Tenant, Tenant may enter into such Transfer, and if Tenant does so, the following shall apply:

(1) Tenant shall not be released of its liability for the performance of all of its obligations under this Lease.


 

23


LEASE

 

 

(2) If Tenant assigns its interest in this Lease, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord 50% of all Subrent (as defined in §14.1D(5)) received by Tenant over and above (i) the assignee’s agreement to assume the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and (ii) all Permitted Transfer Costs related to such assignment. In the case of assignment, the amount of Subrent owed to Landlord shall be paid to Landlord on the same basis, whether periodic or in lump sum, that such Subrent is paid to Tenant by the assignee.

(3) If Tenant sublets any part of the Premises, then with respect to the space so subleased, Tenant shall pay to Landlord 50% of the positive difference, if any, between (i) all Subrent paid by the subtenant to Tenant, less (ii) the sum of all Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent allocable to the space sublet and all Permitted Transfer Costs related to such sublease. Such amount shall be paid to Landlord on the same basis, whether periodic or in lump sum, that such Subrent is paid to Tenant by its subtenant. In calculating Landlord’s share of any periodic payments, all Permitted Transfer Costs shall be first recovered by Tenant.

(4) Tenant’s obligations under this §14.1D shall survive any Transfer, and Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder shall be an Event of Tenant’s Default. At the time Tenant makes any payment to Landlord required by this §14.1D, Tenant shall deliver an itemized statement of the method by which the amount to which Landlord is entitled was calculated, certified by Tenant as true and correct. Landlord shall have the right at reasonable intervals to inspect Tenant’s books and records relating to the payments due hereunder. Upon request therefor, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of all bills, invoices or other documents upon which its calculations are based. Landlord may condition its approval of any Transfer upon obtaining a certification from both Tenant and the proposed transferee of all

 

Subrent and other amounts that are to be paid to Tenant in connection with such Transfer.

(5) As used in this §14.1D, the term “Subrent” shall mean any consideration of any kind received, or to be received, by Tenant as a result of the Transfer, if such sums are related to Tenant’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises, including payments from or on behalf of the transferee (in excess of the book value thereof) for Tenant’s assets, fixtures, leasehold improvements, inventory, accounts, goodwill, equipment, furniture, and general intangibles. As used in this §14.1D, the term “Permitted Transfer Costs” shall mean (i) all reasonable leasing commissions paid to third parties not affiliated with Tenant in order to obtain the Transfer in question; (ii) all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Tenant with respect to the Transfer in question; and (iii) the reasonable cost actually incurred by Tenant for reasonable construction costs, reasonable tenant improvement allowances, reasonable relocation costs and other reasonable concessions provided by Tenant in connection with the Transfer.

E. If Tenant is a corporation, the following shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease: (i) any dissolution, merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of or affecting Tenant, whether or not Tenant is the surviving corporation; and (ii) if the capital stock of Tenant is not publicly traded, the sale or transfer to one person or entity (or to any group of related persons or entities) stock possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Tenant’s capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote for the election of directors. If Tenant is a partnership, any withdrawal or substitution (whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, and whether occurring at one time or over a period of time) of any partner owning 25% or more (cumulatively) of any interest in the capital or profits of the partnership, or the dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease.

LEASE

 

 

F. Notwithstanding anything contained in §14.1, so long as Tenant otherwise complies with the provisions of §14.1 Tenant may enter into any of the following transfers (a “Permitted Transfer”; with the transferee a “Permitted Transferee”) without Landlord’s prior written consent, and Landlord shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease pursuant to §14.1C or to receive any part of any Subrent resulting therefrom that would otherwise be due it pursuant to §14.1D.

(1) Tenant may sublease all or part of the Premises or assign its interest in this Lease to any corporation which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the original Tenant to this Lease by means of an ownership interest of more than 50%;

(2) Tenant may assign its interest in this Lease to a corporation which results from a merger, consolidation or other reorganization in which Tenant is not the surviving corporation, so long as the surviving corporation has a net worth at the time of such assignment that is equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such transaction; and

(3) Tenant may assign this Lease to a corporation which purchases or otherwise acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, so long as such acquiring corporation has a net worth at the time of such assignment that is equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such transaction.

14.2 Transfer By Landlord: Landlord and its successors in interest shall have the right to transfer their interest in this Lease and the Project at any time and to any person or entity. In the event of any such transfer, the Landlord originally named herein (and, in the case of any subsequent transfer, the transferor) from the date of such transfer, shall be automatically relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of such transfer. After the date of any such transfer, the term “Landlord” as used herein shall mean the transferee of such interest in the Premises.

 

ARTICLE 15

GENERAL PROVISIONS

15.1 Landlord’s Right to Enter: Landlord and its agents may enter the Premises at any reasonable time after giving at least 24 hours’ prior notice to Tenant (and immediately in the case of emergency) for the purpose of: (i) inspecting the same; (ii) posting notices of non-responsibility; (iii) supplying any service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant; (iv) showing the Premises to prospective purchasers or mortgagees or, during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, to tenants; (v) making necessary alterations, additions or repairs; (vi) performing Tenant’s obligations when Tenant has failed to do so after written notice from Landlord; (vii) placing upon the Premises ordinary “for lease” signs or “for sale” signs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term; and (viii) responding to an emergency. Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means Landlord may deem necessary and proper to enter the Premises in an emergency. Any entry into the Premises obtained by Landlord in accordance with this §15.1 shall not be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises.

15.2 Surrender of the Premises: Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as existed at the Commencement Date, except for (i) reasonable wear and tear, (ii) damage caused by any peril or condemnation, and (iii) contamination by Hazardous Materials for which Tenant is not responsible pursuant to Article 7. In this regard, normal wear and tear shall be construed to mean wear and tear caused to the Premises by the natural aging process which occurs in spite of prudent application of the best standards for maintenance, repair and janitorial practices, and does not include items of neglected or deferred maintenance. In any event, Tenant shall cause the following to be done prior to the expiration or the sooner termination of this Lease: (i) all interior walls shall be painted or cleaned so that they appear freshly painted; (ii) all tiled floors shall be cleaned and waxed; (iii) all carpets shall be cleaned and shampooed; (iv) all broken, marred, stained or


 

25


LEASE

 

 

nonconforming acoustical ceiling tiles shall be replaced; (v) all windows shall be washed; (vi) the HVAC system shall be serviced by a reputable and licensed service firm and left in good operating condition and repair as so certified by such firm; and (vii) the plumbing and electrical systems and lighting shall be placed in good order and repair (including replacement of any burned out, discolored or broken light bulbs, ballasts, or lenses). Subject to the terms of §5.2.C, if Landlord so requests, Tenant shall, prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, (i) remove any Tenant’s Alterations which Tenant is required to remove pursuant to §5.2 and repair all damage caused by such removal, and (ii) return the Premises or any part thereof to its original configuration existing as of the time the Premises were delivered to Tenant. If the Premises are not so surrendered at the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord in returning the Premises to the required condition, plus interest on all costs incurred at the Agreed Interest Rate. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant or losses to Landlord due to lost opportunities to lease to succeeding tenants.

15.3 Holding Over: This Lease shall terminate without further notice at the expiration of the Lease Term. Any holding over by Tenant after expiration of the Lease Term shall not constitute a renewal or extension of this Lease or give Tenant any rights in or to the Premises except as expressly provided in this Lease. Any holding over after such expiration with the written consent of Landlord shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month on the same terms and conditions herein specified insofar as applicable except that Base Monthly Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to 150% of the Base Monthly Rent payable during the last full calendar month of the Lease Term.

15.4 Subordination: The following provisions shall govern the relationship of this Lease to any Security Instrument:

A. This Lease is subject and subordinate to all Security Instruments existing as of the Effective Date. However, if any Lender so

 

requires, this Lease shall become prior and superior to any such Security Instrument.

B. Landlord represents that the only Security Instrument recorded against all or any portion of the Project as of the Effective Date is the Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Fixture Filing for the benefit of PMCF Holdings, LLC, dated December 14, 2007, recorded on December 17, 2007 in the Santa Clara County Recorder’s Office as Document No. 19687229 (the “Existing Deed of Trust”) as amended. Landlord shall use its best efforts to obtain for Tenant the non-disturbance agreement as to Existing Deed of Trust that is set forth in Exhibit G, attached hereto. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease if Tenant has not received the Non-Disturbance Agreement within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.

C. At Landlord’s election, this Lease shall become subject and subordinate to any Security Instrument created after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any such subordination, Tenant’s right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default and performs all of its obligations under this Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms.

D. Tenant shall upon request execute any document or instrument reasonably required by any Lender to make this Lease either prior or subordinate to a Security Instrument, which may include such other matters as the Lender customarily and reasonably requires in connection with such agreements, including provisions that the Lender not be liable for (i) the return of any security deposit unless the Lender receives it from Landlord, and (ii) any defaults on the part of Landlord occurring prior to the time the Lender takes possession of the Project in connection with the enforcement of its Security Instrument. Tenant’s failure to execute any such document or instrument within ten (10) Business days after written demand therefore shall constitute an Event of Tenant’s Default. Tenant approves as reasonable the form of subordination agreement attached to this Lease as Exhibit G.

LEASE

 

 

15.5 Mortgagee Protection and Attornment: In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will use reasonable efforts to give notice by registered mail to any Lender whose name has been provided to Tenant and shall offer such Lender a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Premises by power of sale or judicial foreclosure or other appropriate legal proceedings, if such should prove necessary to effect a cure. Tenant shall attorn to any purchaser of the Premises at any foreclosure sale or private sale conducted pursuant to any Security Instrument encumbering the Premises, or to any grantee or transferee designated in any deed given in lieu of foreclosure.

15.6 Estoppel Certificates and Financial Statements: At all times during the Lease Term, each party agrees, following any request by the other party, promptly to execute and deliver to the requesting party within ten (10) Business Days following delivery of such request an estoppel certificate: (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect, (ii) stating the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (iii) acknowledging that there are not, to the certifying party’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of any party hereunder or, if there are uncured defaults, specifying the nature of such defaults, and (iv) certifying such other information about this Lease as may be reasonably required by the requesting party. A failure to deliver an estoppel certificate within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of a request therefor shall be a conclusive admission that, as of the date of the request for such statement: (i) this Lease is unmodified except as may be represented by the requesting party in said request and is in full force and effect, (ii) there are no uncured defaults in the requesting party’s performance, and (iii) no rent has been paid more than thirty (30) days in advance. At any time during the Lease Term Tenant shall, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice from Landlord, provide Tenant’s most recent financial statement and financial statements covering the 24 month period prior to the date of such most recent financial statement to any existing Lender or to any potential Lender or buyer

 

of the Premises. Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant.

15.7 Reasonable Consent: Whenever any party’s approval or consent is required by this Lease before an action may be taken by the other party, such approval or consent (i) shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and (ii) shall be in writing.

15.8 Notices: Any notice required or desired to be given regarding this Lease shall be in writing and may be given by personal delivery or by recognized national overnight courier service. A notice shall be deemed to have been given to a party at its Address for Notices specified in Section Q or Section R of the Summary (as applicable) (i) when delivered if given by personal delivery to the applicable Address for Notices, and (ii) upon the date of first documented attempt to deliver when delivered by courier service to the applicable Address for Notices. Either party may change its address by giving notice of the same in accordance with this §15.8; provided, however, that any address to which notices may be sent must be a California address.

15.9 Attorneys’ Fees: In the event either Landlord or Tenant shall bring any action or legal proceeding for an alleged breach of any provision of this Lease, to recover rent, to terminate this Lease or otherwise to enforce, protect or establish any term or covenant of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover as a part of such action or proceeding, or in a separate action brought for that purpose, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, and experts’ fees as may be fixed by the court.

15.10 Corporate Authority: If Tenant is a corporation (or partnership), each individual executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of such corporation in accordance with the by-laws of such corporation (or partnership in accordance with the partnership agreement of such partnership) and that this Lease is binding upon such corporation (or partnership) in accordance with its terms. Each of the


 

27


LEASE

 

 

persons executing this Lease on behalf of a corporation does hereby covenant and warrant that the party for whom it is executing this Lease is a duly authorized and existing corporation, that it is qualified to do business in California, and that the corporation has full right and authority to enter into this Lease.

15.11 Miscellaneous: Should any provision of this Lease prove to be invalid or illegal, such invalidity or illegality shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other provision hereof, and such remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every provision of this Lease in which time of performance is a factor. The captions used in this Lease are for convenience only and shall not be considered in the construction or interpretation of any provision hereof. Any executed copy of this Lease shall be deemed an original for all purposes. This Lease shall, subject to the provisions regarding assignment, apply to and bind the respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of Landlord and Tenant. “Party” shall mean Landlord or Tenant, as the context implies. If Tenant consists of more than one person or entity, then all members of Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California. The language in all parts of this Lease shall in all cases be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against either Landlord or Tenant. When the context of this Lease requires, the neuter gender includes the masculine, the feminine, a partnership or corporation or joint venture, and the singular includes the plural. The terms “shall”, “will” and “agree” are mandatory. The term “may” is permissive. When a party is required to do something by this Lease, it shall do so at its sole cost and expense without right of reimbursement from the other party unless a provision of this Lease expressly requires reimbursement. Landlord and Tenant agree that (i) the gross leasable area of the Premises includes any atriums, depressed loading docks, covered entrances or egresses, and covered loading areas; (ii) each has had an opportunity to determine to its satisfaction the actual area of the Project and the Premises; (iii) all measurements of area contained in this Lease are conclusively agreed to be correct and binding upon the parties, even if a

 

subsequent measurement of any one of these areas determines that it is more or less than the amount of area reflected in this Lease; and (iv) any such subsequent determination that the area is more or less than shown in this Lease shall not result in a change in any of the computations of rent, improvement allowances, or other matters described in this Lease where area is a factor. Where a party hereto is obligated not to perform any act, such party is also obligated to restrain any others within its control from performing said act, including the Agents of such party. Landlord shall not become or be deemed a partner or a joint venturer with Tenant by reason of the provisions of this Lease.

15.12 Termination by Exercise of Right: If this Lease is terminated pursuant to its terms by the proper exercise of a right to terminate specifically granted to Landlord or Tenant by this Lease, then this Lease shall terminate thirty (30) days after the date the right to terminate is properly exercised (unless another date is specified in that part of this Lease creating the right, in which event the date so specified for termination shall prevail), the rent and all other charges due hereunder shall be prorated as of the date of termination, and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights or obligations under this Lease except for those that have accrued prior to the date of termination or those obligations which this Lease specifically provides are to survive termination. This §15.12 does not apply to a termination of this Lease by Landlord as a result of an Event of Tenant’s Default.

15.13 Brokerage Commissions: Each party hereto (i) represents and warrants to the other that it has not had any dealings with any real estate brokers, leasing agents or salesmen, or incurred any obligations for the payment of real estate brokerage commissions or finder’s fees which would be earned or due and payable by reason of the execution of this Lease, other than to the Retained Real Estate Brokers described in Section S of the Summary, and (ii) agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other party from any claim for any such commission or fees which result from the actions of the indemnifying party. Landlord shall be responsible for the payment of any commission owed to the Retained Real Estate Brokers if there is a separate written commission agreement between Landlord and


 

28


LEASE

 

 

the Retained Real Estate Brokers for the payment of a commission as a result of the execution of this Lease.

15.14 Force Majeure: Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lock-outs, inclement weather, labor disputes, inability to obtain labor, materials, fuels or reasonable substitutes therefore, governmental restrictions, regulations, controls, action or inaction, civil commotion, fire or other acts of God, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform (except financial inability) shall excuse the performance, for a period equal to the period of any said prevention, delay or stoppage, of any obligation hereunder except the obligation of Tenant to pay rent or any other sums due hereunder.

15.15 Entire Agreement: This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, and there are no binding agreements or representations between the parties except as expressed herein. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s Agents has made any legally binding representation or warranty as to any matter except those expressly set forth herein, including any warranty as to (i) whether the Premises may be used for Tenant’s intended use under existing Law, (ii) the suitability of the Premises or the Project for the conduct of Tenant’s business, or (iii) the condition of any improvements. There are no oral agreements between Landlord and Tenant affecting this Lease, and this Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between Landlord and Tenant or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter of this Lease. This instrument shall not be legally binding until it is executed by both Landlord and Tenant. No subsequent change or addition to this Lease shall be binding unless in writing and signed by Landlord and Tenant.

15.16 USA Patriot Act and Anti-Terrorism Laws:

A. Tenant represents and warrants to, and covenants with, Landlord that neither Tenant nor any of its respective constituent owners or affiliates currently are, or shall be at any time during the Term hereof, in violation of any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering

 

(collectively, the “Anti-Terrorism Laws”), including without limitation Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing, effective September 24, 2001 and relating to Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (the “Executive Order”) and/or the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56) (the “USA Patriot Act”).

B. Tenant covenants with Landlord that neither Tenant nor any of its respective constituent owners or affiliates is or shall be during the Term hereof a “Prohibited Person,” which is defined as follows: (i) a person or entity that is listed in the Annex to, or is otherwise subject to, the provisions of the Executive Order; (ii) a person or entity owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, any person or entity that is listed in the Annex to, or is otherwise subject to the provisions of, the Executive Order; (iii) a person or entity with whom Landlord is prohibited from dealing with or otherwise engaging in any transaction by any Anti-Terrorism Law, including without limitation the Executive Order and the USA Patriot Act; (iv) a person or entity who commits, threatens or conspires to commit or support “terrorism” as defined in Section 3(d) of the Executive Order; (v) a person or entity that is named as a “specially designated national and blocked person” on the then-most current list published by the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control at its official website, http://www.treas.gov/offices/eotffc/ofac/sdn/t11sdn.pdf, or at any replacement website or other replacement official publication of such list; and (vi) a person or entity who is affiliated with a person or entity listed in items (i) through (v) above.

C. At any time and from time to time during the Term, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) days after receipt of a written request therefor, a written certification or such other evidence reasonably acceptable to Landlord evidencing and confirming Tenant’s compliance with this §15.6.

FIRST ADDENDUM TO LEASE

THIS FIRST ADDENDUM TO LEASE (the “First Addendum”) is dated for reference purposes as of December 23, 2009, and is made a part of that Lease dated December 23, 2009 (the “Lease”), by and between OA Oakmead II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and Alpha and Omega Semiconductor, Inc., a California corporation (“Tenant”), affecting certain real property commonly known as 475 Oakmead Parkway, Sunnyvale, California. Landlord and Tenant agree to the following First Addendum, which shall be a part of the Lease:.

1. Tenant Improvement Allowance: Landlord will provide to Tenant, upon the basis set forth in Exhibit B, up to $687,720.00, being $12.00 per square foot of gross leasable area in the Premises as a Tenant Improvement Allowance (the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”). At Tenant’s option (as more fuly stated in Exhibit B), Landlord will further provide Tenant with up to $171,930.00, being $3.00 per square foot of gross leasable area in the Premises, for an amortized Tenant Improvement Allowance (the “Amortized Tenant Improvement Allowance”). The Amortized Tenant Improvement Allowance will be amortized over the remaining Lease Term (from and after the date of Substantial Completion, as defined in Exhibit B), with interest at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum, and repaid monthly as so amortized as a part of the Rent. The amortized payments arising from use of the Amortized Tenant Improvement Allowance, if it is used, are in addition to the Base Monthly Rent set forth in the Lease, Summary of Basic Lease Terms, Subparagraph K. Any other and further expenses of constructing the Tenant Improvements will be paid by Tenant.

2. Option to Extend Lease Term: Landlord hereby grants to Tenant one (1) option to extend the Lease Term for an Extended Term (as hereinafter defined) of five (5) years in length, commencing when the Lease Term expires (i.e., March 1, 2020), under the following terms and conditions:

A. Exercise Dates: Tenant must give Landlord notice in writing, directed to Landlord’s Address for Notice as set forth in the Lease, of Tenant’s exercise of the option to extend no earlier than twelve (12) months before the date the Lease Term would end but for said exercise (the “Earliest Exercise Date”) and no later than nine (9) months before the date the Lease Term would end but for said exercise (the “Last Exercise Date”).

B. Conditions to Exercise of Option: Tenants right to exercise the option and extend the Term is conditioned upon and subject to each of the following:

(1) In order to exercise its option to extend, Tenant must give written notice of such election to Landlord and Landlord must receive same by the Last Exercise Date but not prior to the Earliest Exercise Date, and any attempted exercise outside of the period between such dates shall be of no force or effect. If proper notification of the exercise of the option is not received, the option shall automatically expire. Failure to timely exercise the option terminates the option. Tenant acknowledges that because of the importance of Landlord of knowing no later than the Last Exercise Date whether or not Tenant will exercise the option, the failure of Tenant to notify Landlord by the Last Exercise Date will conclusively be presumed an election by Tenant not to exercise the option.

(2) Tenant shall have no right to exercise the option if Tenant is in Default on the date of exercise of the option (in the case of a Default which has an applicable cure period provided in the Lease, this shall mean that Tenant is in Default past any applicable notice and cure period).

(3) Tenant shall have no right, title, or interest in the Lease or the Premises for or during the Extended Term if Tenant is in Default on the date on which the Lease would terminate absent exercise of the option (in the case of a Default which has an applicable cure period provided in the Lease, this shall mean that Tenant is in Default past any applicable notice and cure period), and under such circumstances, the Lease shall terminate without notice on the last day of its then existing Term, and the Extended Term shall not be deemed to have been created by the notice of exercise of the option.

 

34


(4) The period of time within which the option may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise the option because of any of the preceding provisions of this Paragraph.

(5) By giving notice of exercise of the option, Tenant warrants and agrees that Tenant is fully familiar with the Premises, has had the opportunity to inspect and test the Premises, and accepts the Premises for the Extended Term in their “As Is” condition, with all patent faults, without warranty or obligation on the part of Landlord to provide or pay for any interior improvements or tenant improvement allowances.

C. Creation of Extended Term: Upon the timely exercise of the option to extend and the commencement of the extended Term, all references in the Lease to the Term shall be considered to mean the Term as extended by the exercise of the option for the five (5) year period of time allowed as set forth above, which shall be referred to herein as the “Extended Term.”

D. Option Personal: The option is personal to Tenant and any Permitted Transferees, and cannot be assigned to or exercised by anyone other than Tenant or any Permitted Transferees. The option can only be exercised at a time when Tenant and/or the Permitted Transferee(s) are in possession of not less than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises.

E. Upon the timely and valid exercise of the option to extend, the Base Monthly Rent for the Extended Term shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the then fair market rent determined as of the commencement of the Extended Term based upon like buildings with like improvements in the area located in the area of the Building. If the parties are unable to agree in writing on the fair market monthly rent for the Premises for the Extended Term at least ninety (90) days prior to the commencement of the Extended Term, then the fair market monthly rent shall be determined by binding appraisal conducted pursuant to the terms and provisions of Subparagraph F of this First Addendum.

F. If the parties cannot agree on the fair market monthly rent for the Extended Term, then such fair market monthly rent shall be determined by one (1) or three (3) licensed real estate appraisers, all of whom shall be members of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers with not less than five (5) years’ experience appraising real property (other than residential or agricultural property) located in Santa Clara County, California, in accordance with the following procedures:

(1) The party demanding an appraisal (the “Notifying Party”) shall notify the other party (the “Non -Notifying Party”) thereof by delivering a written demand for appraisal in accordance with the notice requirements for exercise of option as set forth above. This demand, to be effective, must give the name, address, and qualifications of an appraiser selected by the Notifying Party. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of said demand, the Non -Notifying Party shall select its appraiser and notify the Notifying Party, in writing, of the name, address, and qualifications of an appraiser selected by it. Failure by the Non -Notifying Party to select a qualified appraiser within said fifteen (15) day period shall be deemed a waiver of the Non-Notifying Party’s right to select a second appraiser, and the appraiser selected by the Notifying Party shall proceed to reach an opinion on the fair market rent of the Premises for the Extended Term under the principles set forth herein, and shall, by a simple letter executed by said sole appraiser, forthwith notify both Landlord and Tenant of the amount set by such appraisal. If the Non-Notifying Party selects an appraiser, then within ten (10) days from the date the second appraiser shall have been appointed, the two (2) appraisers so selected shall appoint a third appraiser. If the two (2) appraisers fail to select a third qualified appraiser, the third appraiser shall be selected by the then Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Santa Clara on the application of any party.

(2) Provided that there is more than one (1) appraiser, the appraisers so selected shall meet in San Jose, California, not later than twenty (20) days following the date on which the third

 

35


appraiser is selected. At said meeting the appraisers so selected shall attempt to determine the fair market monthly rent for the Premises for the Extended Term (including the timing and amount of any periodic increases).

(3) If the appraisers so selected are unable to complete their determinations in one (1) meeting, they may continue to consult at such times as they deem necessary for a thirty (30) day period from the date of the first meeting, in an attempt to have at least two (2) of them agree. If, at the initial meeting or at any time during said thirty (30) day period, two (2) or more of the appraisers so selected agree on the fair market rent of the Premises, such agreement shall be determinative and binding on the parties hereto, and the agreeing appraisers shall, in simple letter form executed by the agreeing appraisers, forthwith notify both Landlord and Tenant of the amount set by such agreement.

(4) If two (2) or more appraisers do not so agree within said thirty (30) day period, then each appraiser shall, within five (5) days after the expiration of said thirty (30) day period, submit his or her independent appraisal in simple letter form to Landlord and Tenant stating his or her determination of the fair market rent of the Premises for the Extended Term. The parties shall then determine the fair market rent for the Premises by determining the average of the fair market rent set by each of the appraisers. However, if the lowest appraisal is less than eighty five percent (85%) of the middle appraisal then such lowest appraisal shall be disregarded and/or if the highest appraisal is greater than one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the middle appraisal then such highest appraisal shall be disregarded. If the fair market rent set by any appraisal is so disregarded, then the average shall be determined by computing the average set by the appraisals that have not been disregarded (or shall be the determination of the sole remaining appraiser if two (2) appraisals have been disregarded).

(5) Nothing contained herein shall prevent Landlord and Tenant from jointly selecting and agreeing in writing upon a single appraiser to determine the fair market rent of the Premises, in which event the written determination of such appraisal shall be conclusively deemed the fair market rent of the Premises.

(6) Each party shall bear the fees and expenses of the appraiser selected by it. The fees and expenses of the third appraiser (or the joint appraiser if one joint appraiser is used) shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Landlord and fifty percent (50%) by Tenant.

3. Roof and Systems Condition: Landlord shall deliver the Project, Premises and Building, including the building systems (including all HVAC equipment and other utility facilities, and fire extinguisher equipment), in good working condition, including the roof in watertight condition. All mechanical, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and other utility equipment and roll up doors shall be in good working condition and operable. Landlord’s sole responsibility under this warranty shall be to rectify (and Tenant’s sole remedy shall be to require Landlord to rectify), at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (and not as a part of Common Operating Expenses), any defective item of which Tenant supplies written notification, specifying the manner in which this warranty has been breached, within nine (9) months after the Commencement Date; provided, however, that (i) if there has not been in Sunnyvale rain in excess of one half inch of rain in any calendar day within the first nine (9) months after the Commencement Date, the nine (9) month period in this Section 3 shall be extended with respect to the roof of the Building until the earlier of (A) twelve (12) months after the Commencement Date, or (B) ten (10) Business Days after there has been in Sunnyvale rain in excess of one half inch of rain in any calendar day after the Commencement Date; and (ii) the time limitation shall not be applicable to latent defects. Except as otherwise provided in the Lease, Landlord makes no other warranties regarding condition of the Premises, and requiring Landlord to repair defects to return the said matters to the represented condition shall be Tenant’s sole remedy for any breach of this provision. No roof leak or other failure of condition of any system or equipment which occurs due to the acts or omissions of Tenant shall be covered under this warranty. For purposes of this Lease, a “latent

 

36


defect” is one which would not be discoverable by a reasonable inquiry and inspection conducted by a person knowledgeable in regard to the item or construction inspected (as, for instance, in the case of roofing a licensed roofer).

4. Early Occupancy: “Early Occupancy” is exclusive possession (subject only to the primary rights of the Landlord and its contractors and consultants in regard to constructing the Tenant Improvements) prior to the Commencement Date. Tenant may have early occupancy of the Premises upon the Effective Date through the Commencement Date (the “Early Occupancy Period”) subject to and under the following terms and conditions:

A. Occupancy during the Early Occupancy Period shall be solely for the purposes of fixturizing and installing cabling, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and not for the purpose of operating the business.

B. Occupancy during the Early Occupancy Period shall be subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease; provided, however, that Rent payable during the Early Occupancy Period shall be waived until such date as Tenant occupies and begins to operate its business in the Premises, as of which date, Rent shall begin.

C. Prior to entering for Early Occupancy, Tenant will (1) pay Landlord all Security Deposit or prepaid Rent required by the Lease; and (2) provide Landlord with documentation of insurance required under the Lease. All indemnity and liability waiver provisions of the Lease will apply to the Early Occupancy Period.

D. During the Early Occupancy Period, Tenant will cooperate with Landlord and its agents, contractors, subcontractors, and construction personnel and will refrain from any acts or omissions which will delay such construction. Any delay in construction and delivery of the Premises which is caused by Tenant’s Early Occupancy of the Premises will not extend the Rent Commencement Date.

E. Early Occupancy shall not affect the Expiration Date of this Lease.

5. Signage: Subject to the provisions in the Lease relating to approval and permitting of signs, Tenant shall be entitled to the use of all monument and building signage associated with the Premises. Tenant will remove such signage and restore the monument and building signage area to its condition as of the Effective Date upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

6. Non-Disturbance Agreement: Landlord shall use its best efforts to obtain a non-disturbance agreement in the form attached as Exhibit G to the Lease from the Existing Lender.

7. Access: Tenant shall have unrestricted access to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, every day of the Lease Term from the Commencement Date to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

 

37


8. Confidentiality: Landlord and Tenant agree that all matters relating to the terms and provisions of the Lease shall be, and will remain, confidential and private between them, and that such matters will not be disclosed except under the following circumstances: To their attorneys in confidence; to their respective accountants and/or tax preparers in confidence as necessary for tax filings; and in any public disclosure that may be required in connection with any public stock offering. The parties will instruct and require their respective brokers to keep the terms and provisions hereof in confidence.

EXHIBIT B

TENANT IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT

This Tenant Improvement Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated for reference purposes as of December 23, 2009, and is made a part of that Lease dated December 23, 2009 (the “Lease”), by and between OA Oakmead II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and Alpha and Omega Semiconductor, Inc., a California corporation (“Tenant”), affecting certain real property commonly known as 475 Oakmead Parkway, Sunnyvale, California. Landlord and Tenant agree as follows as a part of the Lease:

1. Purpose of Agreement: The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the planning and construction of Tenant Improvements (as defined below) within the Premises for the use and benefit of Tenant during the Lease Term. Landlord and Tenant are proceeding with the planning of construction pursuant to a Cost Reimbursement Agreement prior to lease signature in order to keep the process moving forward on Preliminary Work (as defined below). Pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Tenant will reimburse Landlord for the total cost of Preliminary Work and Tenant Improvement Costs, less any amounts already paid under the Cost Reimbursement Agreement, and less the Tenant Improvement Allowance and the Amortized Tenant Improvement Allowance (as set forth and defined in the First Addendum to Lease).

2. Definitions: Words not otherwise defined herein which are capitalized shall have the same meanings as assigned to such words in the Lease, unless such meanings are clearly negated by context. As used in this Agreement, the following words will have the following meanings:

a. Tenant Improvements: The term “Tenant Improvements” shall mean those improvements to the Building described in the Approved Plans and any approved Change Orders (both as defined below).

b. Preliminary Work: The “Preliminary Work” is the work performed prior to the start of construction for planning, preparation of plans and specifications, and other preparations for construction. Preliminary Work includes all such work performed voluntarily prior to execution of the Lease or pursuant to the terms of the Cost Reimbursement Agreement entered into between the parties prior to the execution of the Lease.

c. Tenant Improvement Costs: The term “Tenant Improvement Costs” shall mean the following as they relate to the Tenant Improvements: (i) all amounts paid to contractors for labor and materials furnished pursuant to any construction contract entered into by Landlord with unaffiliated entities (i.e., entities not affiliated with Landlord) to construct the Tenant Improvements; (ii) the cost of all governmental approvals required as a condition to the construction of the Tenant Improvements (including all construction taxes or other fees or exactions by governmental agencies imposed in connection with the issuance of a building permit or otherwise relating to the construction of the Tenant Improvements, even if based in part on the value of the “shell” of the Building); (iii) all utility connection or use fees; (iv) fees of unaffiliated (i.e., not affiliated with Landlord) architects, engineers, construction managers, and space planners for services rendered in regard to the Tenant Improvements; (v) the cost of payment and performance bonds obtained to assure completion of the Tenant Improvements; and (vi) any and all other costs incurred in connection with the Tenant Improvements that are approved in writing by Tenant. The Tenant Improvement Costs shall include the cost of the Preliminary Work. Tenant agrees that construction management services will, as an exception to the foregoing, be provided by an affiliate of Landlord, provided that the fees for the construction management services shall not exceed three percent of the Tenant Improvement Costs (exclusive of the fee for construction management services). The Tenant Improvement Costs shall not include, Landlord shall be responsible for, and Tenant shall have no responsibility with respect to, any construction costs resulting from the failure of the Project (including the Building) to be in compliance with Laws in effect as of the date construction of the Tenant Improvements commences.

d. City Taxes Related To Tenant Improvement Costs: If there are any taxes or taxes increases charged to Landlord because of the construction of the Tenant Improvements, all of these taxes (even if


based wholly or in part on the value of the “shell”) shall be included in the Tenant Improvement Costs, except that if the increased taxes are property taxes, same shall be dealt with under the appropriate provision of the Lease.

e. Substantially Completion: Any of the Tenant Improvements shall be deemed to be “Substantially Completed” or to be in a state of “Substantial Completion” when: (i) either the architect or the Prime Contractor have issued a written certificate stating that such improvements have been substantially completed in accordance with the Approved Plans therefor, and (ii) the Building Department of the City of Sunnyvale has completed its final inspection of such improvements and has “signed off” the building inspection card approving such work as complete.

f. Cash: As used herein, payment in “cash” shall mean payment by a company check representing good funds or by a cashier’s check.

g. Tenant Delays: As used herein and in the Lease, “Tenant Delays” shall mean and include (i) Tenant’s failure to submit necessary information to Landlord when required by this Agreement; (ii) Tenant’s failure to promptly review and approve the plans for the Tenant Improvements in accordance with this Agreement; (iii) any act by Tenant which materially interferes with or delays the completion of the plans for the Tenant Improvements or Landlord’s construction work; (iv) change orders requested by Tenant and approved by Landlord; (v) special materials or equipment ordered or specified by Tenant that cannot be obtained by Landlord at normal cost within a reasonable period of time because of limited availability, provided that Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant if Landlord determines that the special materials or equipment cannot be obtained by Landlord at normal cost within a reasonable period of time; (vi) any delay or default by Tenant in paying its share of the estimated cost of construction of Tenant Improvements; (vii) any delay caused by obtaining required Hazardous Materials or other environmental permits, consents, or permissions or dealing with the City of Sunnyvale, or otherwise concerned with the use of the Premises by Tenant, but which shall not include any delays as a result of the presence of Hazardous Materials in the Project as of the Effective Date; and (viii) Tenant’s failure to observe the time deadlines set in this Agreement for Tenant’s performance and participation in the planning process and granting of approvals.

h. Cost Reimbursement Agreement: The “Cost Reimbursement Agreement” means that certain Agreement between Landlord and Tenant dated November 16, 2009 pursuant to which Tenant agreed to reimburse Landlord for certain planning costs identified in the Cost Reimbursement Agreement in the event that no lease was signed between the parties for the Premises.

3. Preliminary Payment by Tenant: Intentionally omitted.

4. Preparation of Plans, Bid Process; Construction Deposit; and Handling of Changes in Plans: Following execution of the Lease, Landlord and Tenant will engage in the following process to arrive at final costs and final approved plans:

a. A general scope for the Tenant Improvements (the “Floor Plan”) has been approved by Tenant and is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Floor Plan contains a general description of the improvements to be made by Landlord for Tenant’s use. Landlord will cause plans and specifications for the Tenant Improvements (the “Preliminary Plans”) to be produced and delivered to Tenant by December 11, 2009. Said Preliminary Plans will be made and based on all of the discussions between Landlord and Tenant to that date, will be the result of consultation, discussion, and cooperation with Tenant, and will follow the description set forth in Floor Plan.

b. Landlord and Tenant will put the Preliminary Plans out for written bid to Hollander-Smith, South Bay Construction, and Applied Construction Technology. Landlord and Tenant hereby approve each of the identified contractors as a potential Prime Contractor. Bid packages will be submitted to the three contractor bidders on December 11, 2009; amended bid packages with the Tentative Approved Plans will be submitted on December 14, 2009, if there are changes to the Preliminary Plans, and if so, the bidders will be asked to bid on the Tentative Approved Plans rather than the Preliminary Plans; bids will be received by December 18, 2009; and Landlord will select the winning bidder, with Tenant’s

 

41


approval, by December 21, 2009. The winning bidder will be selected by considering price, quality, responsiveness, reliability, and other factors, and will be based on all factors, not solely the lowest price. The parties have followed the above process, and the Hollander Smith, Inc., has been selected as the Prime Contractor, with the approval of Landlord and Tenant.

c. On or before noon (12:00 PM) December 14, 2009, Tenant will approve the Preliminary Plans in writing by executing and returning a copy thereof to Landlord which will be the “Tentative Approved Plans,” or will advise Landlord of any objections or needed changes. Tenant has approved the Preliminary Plans.

d. If there are objections or further changes suggested by Tenant, then Landlord and Tenant will resolve these matters immediately. If there are changes to the Preliminary Plans, then the Preliminary Plans with the approved changes as added by the Architect shall be deemed the “Tentative Approved Plans.” If received on December 14, 2009, Landlord will submit the Tentative Approved Plans to the bidders.

e. Once a winning bidder is selected, Landlord will enter into a written agreement (the “Prime Contract”) with the winning bidder contractor (the “Prime Contractor”). Tenant’s approval of Landlord’s selected contractor shall be approval of the contractor cost for the project reflected by that contractor’s bid. The amount of that bid shall become the “Tentative Approved Contractor Cost.”

f. Landlord’s architect will prepare a demolition plan based on the Tentative Approved Plans for submission on January 4, 2010. The demolition will begin as soon as feasible after the demolition permit is obtained.

g. Landlord will cause the Architect and the Prime Contractor to work together to submit the Tentative Approved Plans to the City of Sunnyvale for building permits on January 11, 2009. Landlord, Tenant, Architect, and Prime Contractor will cooperate in discussing the Tentative Approved Plans with the City of Sunnyvale and working toward acceptable plans that would be approved by the City of Sunnyvale. Landlord and Tenant shall work together to make any needed changes in the Tentative Approved Plans, and neither shall unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay its approval of changes required by the City. It is expected that the plans will be approved over the counter on the same day.

h. If the City of Sunnyvale requires any change in the Tentative Approved Plans, Landlord will cause its Architect to make such changes and provide the Tentative Approved Plans, with the City-required changes, to Landlord and Tenant. After the Tentative Approved Plans are processed through the City of Sunnyvale, the Tentative Approved Plans, with changes, if any, required by the City of Sunnyvale, will be referred to as the “Approved Plans.” If the City requires changes which change the Tentative Approved Contractor Cost, the Prime Contractor shall provide Landlord and Tenant with any changes in the Tentative Approved Contractor Costs (“Changes”). After the City process is complete, the Tentative Approved Contractor Cost, plus or minus any changes made per Changes provided by the Prime Contractor, shall be deemed the Approved Contractor Cost. Landlord and Tenant must approve any Changes provided by the Prime Contractor, but neither will unreasonably withhold, delay, or condition its approval.

i. As soon as feasible, not later than December 29, 2010, Landlord will give Tenant written notice of the amount of the Construction Deposit (as hereinafter defined). Said notice will also contain an anticipated Construction Start Date, if such date is different from January 11, 2010, the currently anticipated Construction Start Date. Such notice shall be referred to herein as the “Construction Notice.” If Landlord learns after the Construction Notice is given that the Construction Start Date will be different than that specified in the Construction Notice, it shall give an Amended Construction Notice.

(1) On the later of receipt by Tenant of a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in a form acceptable to Tenant or January 6, 2010 (or at least five (5) days before the date for construction of the Tenant Improvements to begin, if that date is not to be January 11,

 

42


2010), Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a further sum (the “Construction Deposit”) which shall be equal to the Tentative Approved Contractor Cost plus all costs of the Tenant Improvements which will be paid to others (such as the cost of the Preliminary Work) minus the sum of (i) the Tenant Improvement Allowance, (ii) the Amortized Tenant Improvement Allowance, and (iii) the sums paid to that date under the Cost Reimbursement Agreement (the “Final Pre-Construction Cost Estimate.”)

(2) Tenant is not obligated to draw upon the Amortized Tenant Improvement Allowance, and instead may pay cash to Landlord for any Tenant Improvement Costs to be incurred which exceed the Tenant Improvement Allowance If Tenant wishes to exercise its option to provide Landlord with cash in lieu of the funds available as an Amortized Tenant Improvement Allowance, it must do so at the time it is required to make the Construction Deposit, by a notice in writing accompanied by deposit of the difference between the Final Pre-Construction Cost Estimate and the Tenant Improvement Allowance with Landlord, which shall thereafter be dealt with as part of the Construction Deposit. Exercise of Tenant’s option to fund in cash the difference between the Final Pre-Construction Cost Estimate and the Tenant Improvement Allowance eliminates Tenant’s right at any later time to make use of or access funds from the Amortized Tenant Improvement Allowance and satisfies Landlord’s obligations with regard to same.

(3) Landlord may use the Construction Deposit to reimburse itself for the Tenant Improvement Costs as it is required to expend them. In the event that, due to an Event of Tenant’s Default committed by Tenant before the Tenant Improvements are completed, the Lease is terminated, Landlord may apply the remaining Construction Deposit to reimburse itself for any unreimbursed Tenant Improvement Costs incurred prior to the termination of the Lease, and any excess may be applied to any unpaid damages suffered by Landlord on account of the Event of Tenant’s Default; solely if Landlord has been made whole and reimbursed for all Tenant Improvement Costs and repaid any damages, then Landlord shall refund any remaining balance of the Construction Deposit which has not been used or applied as set forth herein to Tenant.

(4) Landlord will hold the Construction Deposit in a separate account, segregated from Landlord’s other funds, until used as set forth herein. However, Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on said funds, nor shall Landlord be deemed a trustee in regard to such funds.

(5) In the event that the City of Sunnyvale requires changes in the Tentative Approved Plans which change the Tentative Approved Contractor Cost, then the Construction Deposit shall be adjusted upward by a further deposit by Tenant to reflect the increase in costs, or downward by a refund from Landlord to reflect decreased costs.

j. Landlord is not required to begin construction of the Tenant Improvements until five (5) days after the Construction Deposit is made in full. If the Construction Deposit has not been timely made as set forth above, Landlord may elect to wait until it is made to commence construction or Landlord may elect to declare a breach of the Lease by giving Tenant written notice of Tenant’s failure to make the Construction Deposit on time and in full. Unless Tenant has, within ten (10) days of such notice of default, made the full Construction Deposit, it shall be an Event of Tenant’s Default (and there shall be no further notice and cure period applicable thereto). In the case of such an Event of Tenant’s Default, Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant and pursue all Lease and legal remedies for such a default.

k. If Landlord or Tenant propose any changes in the Approved Plans after the Approved Contractor Cost has been approved, the parties shall discuss such changes, submit agreed changes to the Prime Contractor, and request a proposed Change Order to be generated showing the change and stating any increase or decrease in the Approved Contractor Cost which is attendant on such change in the Approved Plans. If the parties cannot agree on the nature of the change in construction and the change in Tenant Improvement Costs associated therewith, the Lease shall remain in full force and effect with the Approved Plans remaining as they were before the discussion. If the parties do agree on

 

43


a change in the Approved Plans, they shall both execute a Change Order which shall specify the change in the Approved Plans and attach a cost figure of increase or decrease in the Approved Contractor Cost. In the event that the Change Order specifies an increase in Tenant Improvement Costs in excess of $1,000.00, Landlord shall have the right to require an equal increase in the Construction Deposit in the amount of the increase in Tenant Improvement Costs.

l. Landlord shall not be required to approve any Tenant Improvements that: (i) do not conform to applicable government regulations or Laws or are disapproved by any governmental agency having jurisdiction; (ii) overload the floors of the Premises; or (iii) are, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, of a nature or quality inconsistent with the nature and quality of the remainder of the Premises or the Building. Further, to the extent that Tenant proposes improvements that are not, in Landlord’s discretion, deemed by Landlord general purpose in nature, Landlord may condition approval on Tenant’s agreement to remove said improvements at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease and to restore the interior of the Building in regard to such removed improvements to a general purpose building interior.

5. Construction of Tenant Improvements: Landlord shall cause the Tenant Improvements to be constructed in accordance with the following:

a. The Tenant Improvements shall be constructed substantially in accordance with the Approved Plans (as modified by any Change Orders approved by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) and all Laws. All materials and equipment furnished shall be fully paid for and be free of liens, chattel mortgages, and security interests of any kind, new, and in good condition.

b. Landlord shall properly obtain, comply with and keep in effect all permits, licenses, and other governmental approvals which are required to be obtained from governmental bodies in order to construct the Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall promptly deliver copies of all such permits, licenses, and approvals to Tenant.

c. Landlord shall commence construction of the Tenant Improvements as soon as feasible, and shall diligently prosecute such construction to completion.

6. Inspection and Punch List: As soon as the Tenant Improvements are Substantially Completed, the Prime Contractor, Landlord, and Tenant shall conduct an inspection of the Tenant Improvements so completed. After such inspection has been completed, each party shall sign a “punch list” comprised of items which the parties agree are to be corrected by Landlord. Landlord shall complete and/or repair such “punch list” items, and shall use reasonable efforts to do so within thirty (30) days after executing the punch list Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Tenant’s obligation to pay the Base Monthly Rent and the Additional Rent shall commence as provided in the Lease, regardless of whether or when the parties complete such inspection or execute such punch list.

7. Construction Warranty for the Tenant Improvements: Landlord will make available to Tenant such warranties as shall be made available to Landlord by the Prime Contractor and/or Landlord’s consultants. Tenant agrees to accept the Tenant Improvements AS-IS subject to the Prime Contractor’s completion of agreed punch list items, without further warranties on the part of Landlord, which disclaims all warranties INCLUDING WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURCHASE AND WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY. In lieu of such warranties, Tenant agrees to accept the Prime Contractor’s construction warranty. Tenant shall have the benefit of any construction or equipment warranties existing in favor of Landlord that would assist Tenant in correcting defects and in discharging its obligations regarding the repair and maintenance of the Premises. Upon request by Tenant, Landlord shall inform Tenant of all written construction and equipment warranties existing in favor of Landlord which affect the Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in enforcing such warranties and in bringing any suit that may be necessary to enforce liability with regard to any defect, provided, that Landlord and Tenant shall each advance half the costs and attorney’s fees required for such suit and share equally in any recovery of costs and/or attorney’s fees from the Prime Contractor. This Paragraph 7 shall be

 

44


the sole remedy for construction defects and breaches of construction warranties in regard to the Tenant Improvements, and any other language in the Lease or the Addendum relating to warranties and construction defects shall not be deemed to have referred to the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

8. Ownership of the Tenant Improvements: All of the Tenant Improvements shall become the property of Landlord upon installation and shall not be removed or altered by Tenant, except as provided in the Lease.

9. Effect of Agreement: In the event of any inconsistency between this Tenant Improvement Agreement and the Lease, the terms of this Improvement Agreement shall prevail.

10. Unpaid Amounts: Any amounts due from Tenant to Landlord under this Agreement but not paid shall be considered to be Additional Rent within the meaning of the Lease, and in addition to any other rights or remedies stated herein, they shall be subject to all of the Lease and legal remedies for unpaid rent.

11. Accounting: Within thirty (30) days after completion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord will provide Tenant with an accounting of the Tenant Improvement Costs and the use of the Construction Deposit. If said accounting shows that any funds are to be returned to Tenant, Landlord will repay Tenant along with the accounting. If said accounting shows that any further funds are due from Tenant in regard to the Tenant Improvements, then Tenant will pay such funds to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s giving of notice of the accounting, and such shall be considered Additional Rent and subject to all Lease or legal remedies for breach of a rent obligation.

Loan No. 416107704

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) dated effective as of the 23rd day of December, 2009, between PMCF Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors or assigns in interest, collectively “Lender”), and Alpha and Omega Semiconductor, Inc., a California corporation (“Tenant,” which includes any permitted assigns and successors in interest of Tenant under the Lease).

R E C I T A L S:

A. Lender is the owner and the holder of a loan evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”) dated December 14, 2007. The Note is secured by that certain Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Fixture Filing dated the same date as said Note, and recorded on December 17, 2007 in the Santa Clara County Recorder Office (the “Official Records”), as Document No. 19687229 (as thereafter amended and assigned, the “Mortgage”), covering the real property described therein (the “Mortgaged Premises”).

B. Tenant is the tenant under that certain Lease dated December 23, 2009 (the Lease”), between Tenant and OA Oakmead II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as landlord (said landlord and its successors and assigns under the Lease hereinafter called “Landlord”), covering all or part of the Mortgaged Premises as set forth under the Lease (hereinafter called the “Demised Premises”).

C. Tenant and Lender desire to confirm their understanding with respect to the Lease and the Mortgage.

THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by all parties, Lender and Tenant agree as follows:

1. Subordination. The Lease is now, and will at all times and for all purposes be, subject and subordinate, in every respect, to the Mortgage and the lien imposed by the Mortgage, with the provisions of the Mortgage and this Agreement controlling over the provisions of the Lease. The Lease is subordinate and subject, in each and every respect, to any and all increases, renewals, modifications, extensions, substitutions, replacements and/or consolidations of the Mortgage, (collectively a “Modification”), and all other loan documents securing the Note, provided that any and all Modifications shall nevertheless be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

2. Non-Disturbance. So long as Tenant is not in default, beyond the applicable cure periods, under any of the terms, provisions, agreements, covenants, or obligations set forth in the Lease,

(i) Lender shall not name or join Tenant as a defendant in any exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies arising upon default under the Mortgage, unless applicable law requires Tenant to be made a party, and

(ii) Tenant’s possession of the Demised Premises under the Lease shall not be disturbed or interfered with by Lender.

3. Attornment. If Lender or any other party that succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease in any manner (“Successor Landlord”), including but not limited to foreclosure, exercise of any power of sale, succession by deed in lieu or other conveyance (a “Succession”), Tenant will attorn to and be bound to Successor Landlord upon Succession and will recognize any Successor Landlord as the landlord under the Lease. The Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease, in accordance with its terms, except


as provided in this Agreement. Such attornment is effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instrument. Tenant, upon request, will sign and deliver any instruments reasonably requested to evidence such attornment. Tenant waives the provisions of any statute or rule of law, now or hereafter in effect, which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect the Lease and the obligations of Tenant thereunder as a result of any such foreclosure or trustee’s sale.

4. Limitation On Successor Landlord’s Liability. Upon any Succession, Successor Landlord shall not be (a) liable for any act or omission of the Landlord under the Lease; (b) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may have against Landlord arising or occurring prior to the Succession; (c) bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant may have paid to Landlord for more than the current month; (d) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease that would reduce or shorten any economic obligations of Tenant under the Lease or materially impair Landlord’s rights under the Lease made without Lender’s prior written consent; provided, however, Lender shall not be bound by any amendment or modification unless Lender receives a fully executed copy of such amendment or modification within ten (10) business days after execution; (e) liable for any security deposit paid by Tenant to Landlord unless such deposit is delivered to Successor Landlord;(f) liable for or obligated to pay for repairs, replacements, damages or allowances not made, performed or paid by the Landlord if such performance or payment was due prior to the Succession; or (g) liable for the payment of any leasing commissions, the triggering event for which arose or occurred prior to the Succession. Any reference to Landlord includes all prior landlords under the Lease. Successor Landlord shall not be liable for the performance of the obligations of Landlord under the Lease, except for those obligations which first arise during the period of Successor Landlord’s ownership of the Mortgaged Premises and for “Continuing Defaults” (as defined below). In the case of a casualty or condemnation repair obligation, Successor Landlord must receive the insurance or condemnation proceeds as a condition precedent to Lender’s repair obligation under the Lease.

A “Continuing Default” is defined as a non-monetary default by Landlord under the Lease that began prior to Succession, is ongoing and continuing following Succession, is susceptible to being cured, and for which Tenant provided Lender with notice as required hereunder prior to Succession. Successor Landlord shall only have liability for actual damages (not consequential or special damages) that arise after Succession as a result of its failure to cure a Continuing Default.

5. Tenant’s Warranty. Tenant warrants to Lender, as of the date hereof, that (a) attached is a true, correct and complete copy of the Lease, (b) there are no known defaults on the part of Landlord, (c) the Lease is a complete statement of the agreement of the parties with respect to the leasing of the Demised Premises, (d) the Lease is validly executed by Tenant and in full force and effect, and (e) all conditions to the effectiveness or continuing effectiveness thereof required to be satisfied as of the date hereof have been satisfied. Tenant acknowledges and warrants to Lender that it has not subordinated the Lease or any of its rights under the Lease to any lien or mortgage other than the Mortgage.

6. Lender Cure Rights. Tenant will notify Lender in writing of any default by Landlord under the Lease that would entitle Tenant to cancel or terminate the Lease or abate the rents payable thereunder. Such notice shall be sent to Lender at 2100 Ross Avenue, Suite 2500, Dallas, Texas 75201, Reference Loan Number 700226109, certified mail, return receipt requested. If within thirty (30) business days after receipt of such default notice Lender notifies Tenant in writing of its intent to cure such default, Lender shall have thirty (30) days beyond the curative period available to Landlord under the Lease to cure the default by Landlord. Lender has no obligation to cure any default by Landlord and shall have no liability for not curing any default. In addition, as to any default by Landlord the cure of which requires possession and control of the Mortgaged Premises, Lender’s cure period shall continue for such additional time as Lender may reasonably require to obtain possession and control of the Mortgaged Premises.

7. Exculpation of Successor Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Lease, Tenant shall look exclusively to Successor Landlord’s interest in the Mortgaged Premises or any proceeds from the disposition thereof, any rents or profits derived from the Mortgaged Premises, or any insurance or condemnation proceeds related thereto, for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies in the event of

 

51


default by Successor Landlord as landlord under the Lease or any payment or discharge of any money judgment in favor of Tenant against Successor Landlord with respect to the Lease.

8. Rent Payment. Immediately upon written notice to Tenant (a) that Lender is exercising its rights under the Mortgage or any other loan documents acting to secure the Note following a default under the Loan, or (b) of Lender’s succeeding to the Landlord’s interest under the Lease, Tenant agrees to pay all rents due under the Lease directly to Lender in accordance with the Lease.

9. Complete Agreement. This Agreement supersedes, as between the parties hereto, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease which are inconsistent herewith.

10. No Oral Modification/Binding Effect. This Agreement may not be modified orally or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.

11. Laws. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State where the Mortgaged Premises are located.

12. Automatic Amendment of Lease. Upon a Succession, the Lease is automatically amended as follows:

a. Hazardous Materials. All representations, warranties, indemnities or hold harmless provisions in favor of Tenant from Landlord dealing with the presence, use, transportation, disposal, contamination, exposure to or in any way arising out of hazardous or toxic materials, chemicals or wastes (“Hazardous Materials”) are deleted as to Lender. Lender, however, as Successor Landlord covenants and agrees to (a) comply with all laws governing Hazardous Materials (“Hazardous Materials Laws”), (b) store, use and dispose of all Hazardous Materials at the Mortgaged Premises in accordance with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws, and (c) remove, remediate and/or clean up, as applicable, in accordance with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws, all Hazardous Materials at the Mortgaged Premises (to the extent not caused by Tenant or its employees, contractors or agents) impairing Tenant’s use or access to the Demised Premises.

b. Insurance. Tenant will at all times carry comprehensive general liability coverage for its activities and operations at the Demised Premises, listing Lender and Landlord as additional insureds, in such coverage amounts as are required by the Lease but in no event less than One Million Dollars. Lender will have no liability to Tenant for any indemnity or hold harmless provision under the Lease where Lender is otherwise covered by Tenant’s comprehensive general liability coverage(s) as carried by Tenant or which Tenant is required to carry under the Lease. All insurance required to be carried by Landlord under the Lease may be effected by Lender by self-insurance or by a policy or policies of blanket insurance covering additional items or locations or insureds and with such deductibles as Lender may from time to time determine. Tenant has no rights in any policy or policies maintained by Lender.

c. Option or Right of First Refusal. Lender will not be bound to honor any option or right of first refusal in favor of Tenant to purchase all or any part of the Mortgaged Premises.
