2.1 Landlord leases to Tenant the space described in Section 1.6 and on attached Exhibit “A” (the “Premises”) located in the “Warland Business Park” depicted on Exhibit “B” (the “Project”). Landlord reserves the right to modify the Premises Project Percentage as set forth in Section 1.8 if the actual Project size is increased or decreased. By entry on the Premises, Tenant acknowledges that it has examined the Premises and accepts the Premises in their present condition, subject to any additional work Landlord has agreed to do as set forth in the Construction Agreement attached as Exhibit “E” (the “Construction Agreement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the “Premises” shall not include any rights to use the roof of the building of which the Premises are a part (the “Building”).

2.2 Tenant and Tenant’s employees, suppliers, shippers, customers and business invitees and licensees, during the Term of this Lease shall have the nonexclusive right to use in common with other

 

-2-


present and future tenants in the Project, and subject to the Rules and Regulations referred to below and to other reasonable rules and regulations which Landlord may promulgate from time to time, the following areas (the “Common Areas”) appurtenant to the Premises:

(a) The Project’s common entrances, accessways, and any passageways and serviceways;

(b) Common loading and unloading areas, trash areas, parking areas, and similar areas and facilities appurtenant to the Building; and

(c) The common roadways, sidewalks, walkways, parkways, driveways and landscaped areas and similar areas and facilities within the Project which are made available for the use or benefit of all Project tenants and their invitees and other visitors.

2.3 Landlord reserves the right from time to time without unreasonable interference with Tenant’s use;

(a) To install, use, maintain, repair and replace pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment for service to other parts of the Building or the Project above the ceiling surfaces, below the floor surfaces, within the walls and any central core areas, and to relocate any pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment included in the Premises which are located in the Premises or located elsewhere outside the Premises;

(b) To make changes to the Common Areas, including, without limitation, changes in the location, size, shape and number of driveways, entrances, parking spaces, parking areas, loading and unloading areas, ingress, egress, direction of traffic, landscaped areas and walkways;

(c) To temporarily close or designate for other uses any of the Common Areas for purposes of improvement, maintenance or repair, so long as reasonable access to the Premises remains available;

(d) To designate other adjacent land outside the boundaries of the Building and other buildings or land within the Project to be a part of the Common Areas;

(e) To add additional improvements to the Common Areas or the Project;

(f) To use the Common Areas while engaged in making additional improvements, repairs or alterations to the Building or the Project, or any portion thereof; and/or

(g) To do and perform such other acts and make such other changes in, to or with respect to the Common Areas, the Building or the Project as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, deem to be appropriate.

3. TERM. The Term of this Lease is for the period set forth in Section 1.10 beginning on the Term Commencement Date (the “Term”). If Landlord, for any reason, cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the date scheduled in the attached Construction Agreement, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss, damage or liability resulting from such delay. However, provided such delay is not caused by a Tenant Delay (as hereinafter defined), Tenant shall not be responsible for payment of Rent (as defined below) until the Commencement Date. Provided further, however, if the Premises are not delivered within one-hundred eighty (180) days after the scheduled delivery

 

-3-


date, then Landlord may cancel this Lease by delivering written notice thereof after that scheduled date, without prejudice to any rights either party may have against the other. To the extent Landlord’s inability to tender possession of the Premises to Tenant in accordance with (or earlier than) the date scheduled in the Construction Agreement is caused by (i) Tenant’s negligence or breach of this Lease, (ii) Tenant’s changes in space plans, working plans, engineered drawings or other plans or specifications, (iii) Tenant’s request for or use of materials, finishes or installations other than those readily available (in the amount of delay identified by Landlord at the time Tenant requests the same), (iv) Tenant’s failure to make any required payments to Landlord in a timely fashion, (v) Tenant’s failure to provide proof of insurance required under the Lease, and (vi) any other delays caused by Tenant, its agents, employees, representatives, and contractors that continues for more than one (1) day after notice thereof from Landlord (collectively, “Tenant Delays”), the Term Commencement Date shall be accelerated by the number of days of those Tenant Delays. Upon determination of the Term Commencement Date, Landlord shall prepare and deliver a Commencement Date Memorandum in substantially the form of attached Exhibit “I” and Tenant shall promptly countersign and return it to Landlord. For purposes of this Lease, a “Lease Year” shall consist of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months. The first Lease Year shall begin on the Term Commencement Date or, if the Term Commencement Date does not occur on the first day of a calendar month, on the first day of the calendar month next following the Term Commencement Date. Each succeeding Lease Year shall commence on the annual anniversary of the first Lease Year. This Lease shall expire on the last day of the last calendar month referenced in Section 1.10.

4. RENT.

4.1 Base Rent. Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly base rent in the initial amount in Section 1.12 which shall be payable monthly in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month (“Base Monthly Rent”); provided, however, the first month’s rent is due and payable upon execution of this Lease, and shall be applied as set forth in Section 1.15.

4.2 Rent Adjustments. Base Monthly Rent shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 1.13.

4.3 Additional Rent for Common Area Charges. The purpose of this Section 4.3 is to ensure that Tenant bears a share of all expenses related to the use, maintenance, ownership, repair or replacement, and insurance of the Project. Accordingly, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the Additional Rent for Common Area Charges set forth in Section 1.14 (“Tenant’s Share”). Tenant’s Share of Common Area Charges shall be increased on January 1 of every Calendar year of the Term commencing on January 1 following the Term Commencement Date as also set forth in Section 1.14. The term “Common Area Charges” shall mean all costs and expenses of the ownership, operation, maintenance, repair or replacement, taxes, assessments, and insurance of the Project, including without limitation, the following costs:

(a) Subject to Section 12.2, below, all supplies, materials, labor, tools, equipment, and utilities used in or related to the operation and maintenance of the Project. Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, to contract with any utility or non-utility provider or providers in any combination of the two to deliver electricity to the Project (collectively an “Electricity Delivery Contract”). Without limiting the foregoing, the terms and conditions of the Electricity Delivery Contract, including, without limitation, the sources of power, the price structure and the length of the term, shall be at Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, and Tenant shall have no right to challenge any such terms and conditions;

(b) Subject to Section 12.2 below, all maintenance, management, janitorial (provided, however, Tenant is responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost, for janitorial within their Premises), legal, accounting, casualty (which may include, at Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, boiler and machinery, EQSL, SL, earthquake and/or flood coverage), liability, and/or rental loss insurance to the extent obtained by Landlord,

 

-4-


and service agreement costs related to the Project. Such costs shall include, without limitation, a management fee to be paid in monthly installments in an amount equal to three percent (3.0%) of all Rent (as defined below) due and owing for that month;

(c) Subject to Section 12.2 below, all maintenance, replacement and repair costs relating to the areas within or around the Project, including, without limitation, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (including the cost of service contracts), periodic testing and inspection of the Premises fire sprinkler system (including the costs of service contracts), sidewalks, landscaping, service areas, driveways, parking areas, (including resurfacing and re-striping parking areas), walkways, building exteriors (including periodic painting), exterior glass cleaning, signs and directories, repairing and replacing roofs, walls, and any other structural components of the Project. These costs may be included either based on actual expenditures or the use of an accounting reserve based on the past cost experience and/or the projected costs for the operation of the Project.

(d) Subject to Section 12.2 below, capital improvements, tools, equipment, or structural repairs to the Project, including, without limitation, structural repairs incurred to reduce or limit Additional Rent for Common Area Charges or which are now or may hereafter be required by any statute, ordinance or regulation of any governmental or enforcement agency, or which are needed to operate the Project at the same or higher quality levels as prior to the improvement or repair. Landlord shall have the right to amortize such capital costs for the Building roof over a period not to exceed fifteen (15) years and all other capital costs over their manufacturer’s or industry standard useful life not to exceed ten (10) years and all such amortization shall be at an interest rate equal to Landlord’s actual cost of funds, or if Landlord expends its own funds, at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.

(e) Real property taxes including all taxes, assessments (general and special) and other impositions or charges which may be taxed, charged, levied, assessed or imposed upon all or any portion of or in relation to the Project or any portion thereof (including tax rate increases or reassessment of the Project or any part thereof for any reason), any leasehold estate in the Premises or measured by Rent from the Premises, including any increase caused by the transfer, sale or encumbrance of the Project or any portion thereof, any transfer of any interests comprising Landlord or any construction within the Project. “Real Property Taxes” shall also include any form of assessment, levy, penalty, charge or tax (other than estate, inheritance, net income or franchise taxes) imposed by an authority having a direct or indirect power to tax or charge, including, without limitation, any city, county, state, federal or any improvement or other district, Whether such tax is (1) determined by the area of the Project or the Rent or other sums payable under this Lease; (2) upon or with respect to any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Project or any part thereof; (3) upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating a transfer in any interest in the project; (4) in lieu of or as a direct substitute in whole or in part of or in addition to any Real Property Taxes on the Project; (5) based on any parking spaces or parking facilities provided in the Project; or (6) in consideration for services, such as police protection, fire protection, street, sidewalk and roadway maintenance, refuse removal or other services that may be provided by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency from time to time which were formerly provided without charge or with less charge to property owners or occupants.

4.4 Rent. Base Monthly Rent, Tenant’s Share of Common Area Charges, and all other charges due from Tenant under this Lease are collectively referred to in this Lease as “Rent.”

4.5 Rent Without Offset and Late Charge. All Base Monthly Rent together with the monthly installment of Tenant’s Share of Common Area Charges shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord monthly in advance on the first day of every calendar month, at the address shown in Section 1.4, or such other places as Landlord may designate in writing from time to time. All such Rent shall be paid without prior demand or notice and without any deduction or offset whatsoever. All Rent shall be paid in lawful currency of the

 

-5-


United States of America. All such Rent due for any partial month shall be prorated at the rate of 1/30th of the total monthly rent per day. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any Rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance or note secured by the Project. Therefore, if Rent or any other sum due from Tenant is not received on the date due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum equal to eight percent (8%) of such overdue payment. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of any such late payment. Additionally, all such delinquent rent or other sums, plus this late charge, shall bear interest at the lesser of ten percent (10%) or the then maximum lawful rate permitted to be charged by Landlord. Any payments of any kind returned for insufficient funds will be subject to an additional handling charge of Two Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($200.00). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, before assessing a late charge or late interest the first time in any twelve (12) month period, Landlord shall provide Tenant written notice of the delinquency, and shall waive such late charge if Tenant pays such delinquency within five (5) days thereafter.

5. PREPAID RENT. Upon the execution of this Lease and as a condition for Landlord’s benefit to the effectiveness of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the prepaid Rent set forth in Section 1.15. Such prepaid Rent shall be applied toward the Rent for the first full calendar month of the Term for which Rent is due. Landlord’s obligations with respect to the prepaid Rent are those of a debtor and not of a trustee, and Landlord can commingle the prepaid Rent with Landlord’s general funds. Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant interest on the prepaid Rent. Landlord shall be entitled to immediately endorse and cash Tenant’s prepaid Rent; however, such endorsement and cashing shall not constitute Landlord’s acceptance of this Lease. In the event Landlord does not accept this Lease, Landlord shall return said prepaid Rent without interest thereon.

6. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Upon execution of this Lease and as a condition for Landlord’s benefit to the effectiveness of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit the Security Deposit set forth in Section 1.16 with Landlord, as security for the performance by Tenant of all obligations on Tenant’s part to be performed under this Lease. If Tenant is in Default (as defined below), Landlord can use the Security Deposit or any portion of it to cure the default or to compensate Landlord for any damages sustained or expenses incurred by Landlord resulting from Tenant’s default (including, without limitation, all rent due following Lease termination to the extent permitted by California Civil Code Section 1951.2). With regard to the foregoing, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Civil Code section 1950.7. Upon demand, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a sum equal to the portion of the Security Deposit expended or applied by Landlord to maintain the security deposit in the amount initially deposited with Landlord. If Tenant is not in Default at the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, return the entire Security Deposit to Tenant, less any accrued Refit and any costs incurred to repair any damages to the Premises or otherwise cure any failure by Tenant to perform its obligations hereunder. Landlord’s obligations with respect to the Security Deposit are those of a debtor and not of a trustee, and Landlord can commingle the Security Deposit with Landlord’s general funds. Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant interest on the Security Deposit. Landlord shall be entitled to immediately endorse and cash Tenant’s Security Deposit; however, such endorsement and cashing shall not constitute Landlord’s acceptance of this Lease. In the event Landlord does not accept this Lease, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit without any interest thereon. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to apply the Security Deposit to the last month’s Rent installment due and payable under the Lease.

7. USE OF THE PREMISES AND PROJECT FACILITIES.

7.1 Subject to the immediately following sentence, Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the purposes set forth in Section 1.5 and for no other purpose without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. However, if any request for a change in use requires a change in zoning, a conditional use permit or a variance, then Landlord shall have the right to withhold consent in Landlord’s sole, subjective and absolute discretion. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises or with respect to the suitability of the Premises or the Project for the conduct of Tenant’s business, nor has Landlord agreed to undertake any modification, alteration or improvement to the Premises or the Project, except as expressly set forth in the Construction Agreement or this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may from time to time, at its sole discretion, subject to Section 2.3, make such modifications, alterations, deletions or improvements to the Project as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, without compensation or notice to Tenant. Subject to Section 7.2 below, Tenant shall promptly comply with all laws, ordinances, orders and regulations, now or hereinafter enacted, affecting its use of the Premises and the Project, including, without limitation, The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations and any amendments or successor statutes thereto (collectively, “Disabled Access Laws”), and the Project Rules and Regulations attached to this Lease as Exhibit “F” and to any modifications to such Rules and Regulations as Landlord may reasonably adopt from time to time (collectively, “Laws”). To the extent of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Lease and the terms and conditions of such Project Rules and Regulations, the terms and conditions of this Lease shall control. Except with regard to construction of the Tenant Improvements pursuant to the Construction Agreement and the condition of the Premises existing as of the Reference Date, Landlord makes no representation or warranty as to the compliance of the Premises, the Building or the Project with Disabled Access Laws.

7.2 Except for Tenant Caused Compliance (as defined below) which shall be the sole obligation of Tenant, Landlord shall be responsible for construction and implementation of all present and future compliance of the Premises with Disabled Access Laws. Tenant shall be solely responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost, for compliance with Disabled Access Laws arising from or in connection with any of the following (collectively, “Tenant Caused Compliance”): (i) Tenant’s particular use of the Premises, (ii) to the extent triggered by any alterations or modifications to the Premises during the Term (other than the Tenant Improvements constructed by Landlord pursuant to the Construction Agreement), and (iii) to the extent necessitated by Tenant’s employment of persons requiring special disabled access assistance (e.g., specialized ramps or lifts). If Tenant fails to comply with Disabled Access Laws required as a result of Tenant Caused Compliance, Landlord may perform or require that Tenant perform such compliance work, and Tenant shall be responsible for reimbursing Landlord the cost of any such work.

7.3 Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises or bring or keep anything in the Premises that will in any way increase the premiums for fire or casualty insurance carried by Landlord or by other tenants in the Project, or subject Landlord to a claim of damages or liability arising from hazardous or toxic waste or by-products thereof associated with or arising from Tenant’s use of the Premises or Project. Tenant shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations, and requirements of the Pacific Fire Rating Bureau or any other organization performing a similar function. Tenant shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for any additional insurance premium charged by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 7. Tenant will not perform any act or carry on any practice that may injure the Premises or the Project; that may be a nuisance or menace to other tenants in the Project; or that shall in any way interfere with the quiet enjoyment of such other tenants. If sound or vibration insulation is required to muffle noise produced by Tenant on the Premises, or ventilation and/or insulation is required to remove fumes generated by Tenant, Tenant at its own cost shall provide all necessary insulation and/or ventilation. Tenant shall not do anything on the Premises which will overload any existing parking or service to the Premises or the Project. Pets and/or animals of any type shall not be kept on the Premises. Tenant shall place

 

-7-


no window covering (e.g., shades, blinds, curtains, drapes, screens, tinting material or security bars), stickers, signs, lettering, banners or advertising or display material on or near exterior windows or doors if such materials are visible from the exterior of the Premises, without Landlord’s prior written consent. Similarly, Tenant may not install any alarm boxes, foil protection tape or other security equipment on the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Any material violating these provisions may be removed and destroyed by Landlord without compensation to Tenant.

8. SIGNAGE. Tenant shall be permitted Building signage identifying Tenant, provided that the type, design, color, location, site configurations and materials of such signage shall (a) be approved by Landlord in writing, which approval may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, (b) be designed using Landlord’s preferred sign design company and be fabricated and installed by Landlord’s preferred signage contractor, and (c) comply with the Project signage rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit “C”, as may be modified by Landlord from time to time (the “Sign Criteria”). All signage shall be installed, maintained and repaired by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and shall be manufactured, installed and maintained in strict conformance with the Sign Criteria and using Landlord’s approved contractor. Except as may be expressly permitted by the Construction Agreement or this Section, no exterior signage shall be erected by Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord for the costs incurred by Landlord to remove any of Tenant’s signage and to patch and repair the Building wall to Landlord’s satisfaction. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, the Building signage shall at Landlord’s election become the property of Landlord.

9. PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. Tenant shall pay before delinquency all taxes, assessments, license fees and public charges levied, assessed or imposed upon its business operations as well as upon any trade fixtures or other personal property in or about the Premises.

10. PARKING.

10.1 Parking Rights. During the Term and so long as Tenant is not in Default under this Lease, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right (in common with other tenants of the Project and any others to whom Landlord has or may grant such rights) to use (i) the number of spaces set forth in Section 1.17 within the area located in front of the Premises only for executive and/or visitor parking only, and (ii) the number of spaces set forth in Section 1.17 for use only of Tenant’s customers, suppliers, employees, licensees and business invitees. Tenant’s parking shall not be reserved and shall be limited to passenger cars and/or pickup or utility vehicles. Tenant shall not cause large trucks or other large vehicles to be parked within the Project. Vehicles shall be parked only in striped parking spaces and not within the Premises, in driveways, loading areas or other locations not specifically designated for parking. Overnight parking and storage outside the Premises are prohibited. Subject to Section 2.3, Landlord reserves the right at any time to charge fees for such parking only if mandated by applicable Laws and to grant similar non-exclusive use to other tenants, to promulgate reasonable rules and regulations relating to the use of such parking areas, including reasonable restrictions on parking by tenants and employees, to designate specific spaces for the use of any tenant, to make changes in the parking layout from time to time, and to establish reasonable time limits on parking.

10.2 Parking Violations. Any vehicle belonging to any partner, director, officer, shareholder, employee, visitor, customer, supplier, contractor, representative, agent, licensee or business invitee of Tenant (each, a “Tenant Party” and, collectively, the “Tenant Parties”) violating the foregoing parking restrictions or other parking regulations promulgated by Landlord shall be subject to removal at Tenant’s expense. If any Tenant Parties park more vehicles in the parking area than the number set forth in Section 1.17, such conduct shall be deemed a material breach of this Lease after the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be responsible for maintaining any systems except to the extent they are located within and exclusively serving the Premises. In the event Tenant fails to make any such recommended repairs within the time period required or recommended by the inspector, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter the Premises (either before or after regular business hours) to conduct such repairs, and the costs incurred by Landlord shall be paid by Tenant with the next installment of Base Monthly Rent. Tenant’s failure to make such repairs shall be a Default (as defined below) subject to the expiration of applicable notice and cure period. Upon expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in accordance with Section 25 of the Lease, except for damage caused by fire or other casualty for which Landlord has received all funds necessary for restoration of the Premises from insurance proceeds.

13. ALTERATIONS.

13.1 Consent for Alterations. Subject to the immediate following sentence, Tenant shall not make any alterations to the Premises, or to any portion of the Project without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. However, if the proposed alterations (i) affect or require modifications to the Building HVAC, plumbing, electrical, sewer and/or life fire safety systems, (ii) affect any structural components of the Building or the Building roof, and/or (iii) can be seen from the exterior of the Premises, then Landlord’s consent to such alterations may be withheld in Landlord’s sole, subjective and absolute discretion.

In consideration for Landlord’s review of Tenant’s proposed plans and alterations, upon completion of construction, Landlord shall receive, as additional Rent, an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the total construction cost but in no event less than Three Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($300.00) per alteration occurrence. Such fees, cost reimbursements and bonding requirements shall not apply to data cabling and electrical distribution. On the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost, remove all alterations to the Premises during the Term (excluding the Tenant Improvements constructed pursuant to the attached Construction Agreement), and restore the Premises to “broom clean” condition; provided, however, Landlord may elect to require Tenant to leave all or any portion of such alterations in the Premises.

13.2 Alteration Conditions. Should Landlord consent in writing to Tenant’s alteration of the Premises, Tenant shall contract with Landlord’s preferred contractor or such other contractor as may be selected by Landlord in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, for the construction of such alterations, shall secure all appropriate governmental approvals and permits, and shall complete such alterations with due diligence in compliance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord. All permitted alterations performed by or through Tenant under this Section 13 shall comply with all laws, statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances, and orders, now and hereinafter in effect. Any valuations or cost analyses of any alterations which are to be submitted to any governmental authority or with the County must be approved by Landlord in its reasonable discretion. All such construction shall be performed in a manner which will not interfere with the quiet enjoyment of other tenants of the Project. Tenant shall pay all costs for such construction and shall keep the Premises and the Project free and clear of all mechanics’, materialmen’s, and other liens which may result from construction by or through Tenant.

13.3 Telephone and Data Equipment. Landlord shall have no responsibility for providing to Tenant any telephone equipment, including wiring, within the Premises or for providing telephone service or connections from the utility to the Premises, except as required by law. Tenant shall not alter, modify, add to or disturb any telephone or data wiring in the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent. Any telephone or data equipment installed by Tenant within the Premises or used by Tenant or any of its agents, employees and invitees within the Premises shall at all times comply with all applicable laws, codes, rules an91 regulations and shall not cause any interference with (1) any of the Building’s or the Project’s mechanical and electrical equipment and machinery, and any of the elevator, air ventilation and cooling, life-safety or other Building or Project systems, or (2) any Building or Project wireless system or telecommunications facilities (whether installed by Landlord or another tenant) in place as of the date of installation of such telephone or data equipment by Tenant. Tenant agrees to consult with Landlord in advance of any installation of any system or equipment under this section that may result in such interference at the earliest practicable state of consideration of such project. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any damage to the telephone or data wiring in the Building due to the act, negligent (affirmatively or through Tenant’s active or passive negligence) or otherwise, of Tenant or any employee, contractor or other agent of Tenant. Tenant’s access to the telephone closets within the Building shall be pursuant to procedures established by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any actual or suspected failure of telephone or data service to the Premises, Building or Project. All costs incurred by Landlord for the installation, maintenance, repair and replacement of telephone wiring within the Premises at Tenant’s request shall be charged to Tenant plus a ten percent (10%) administrative fee, which amount shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord whatsoever, whether for personal injury, property damage, loss of use of the Premises, or otherwise, due to the interruption or failure of telephone services to the Premises. Tenant hereby holds Landlord harmless and agrees to release Landlord from and against any liability for any damage, loss or expense due to any failure or interruption of telephone or data service to the Premises, the Building and the Project for any reason, including active or passive negligence of Landlord. Tenant agrees to obtain loss of rental insurance adequate to cover any damage, loss or expense occasioned by the interruption of telephone or data service.

14. RELEASE AND INDEMNITY.

14.1 Indemnification. From and after the date of Tenant’s initial entry into the Premises, Tenant shall indemnify, defend (with counsel acceptable to Landlord) and hold Landlord and its Lenders, Landlord’s successors and assigns, constituent partners, members, trustees, beneficiaries, co-managing directors, agents, and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless against and from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of actions, judgments, damages, liabilities, obligations, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ and consultants’ fees (individually, a “Claim” and collectively, “Claims”) (excluding any Claims based on Landlord’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Lease that Landlord has not cured within a reasonable time after receipt of written notice from Tenant of such breach) arising from or in connection with (i) the construction, repair, alteration, improvement, use, occupancy or enjoyment of the Premises by Tenant, by any Tenant’s Parties (as defined in Section 14.2 below), by any other person permitted thereon, including, without limitation, any labor dispute involving Tenant and/or any failure by Tenant to comply with any laws, ordinances or regulations governing construction within the Premises or access to the Premises by disabled persons, (ii) any activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or any Tenant Party in or about the Premises, the Building, the Common Areas or the Project, (iii) any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant’s part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, (iv) any injuries suffered by Tenant’s employees, or (v) any negligent (whether active or passive) or wrongful act or omission of Tenant, of any Tenant Parties, or of any other guest or invitee of Tenant in or about the Project. The foregoing shall include, but not be limited to, the defense or pursuit of any claim or any action or proceeding involved therein, and whether or not (in the case of claims made against Landlord) litigated and/or reduced to judgment. In case any action or proceeding

 

-11-


is brought against the Indemnified Parties or any of them by reason of any such Claim, Tenant upon notice from Landlord, shall defend the same at Tenant’s expense by competent counsel approved in writing by Landlord. Landlord need not have first paid any such claim in order to be so indemnified. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 14.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. “Lender” for all purposes under this Lease shall mean any lender having a secured interest in the Premises or in any portion thereof and any purchaser who purchases or otherwise acquires the Premises at any foreclosure sale, through deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar conveyance.

14.2 Waivers and Release. No Indemnified Party shall be liable to Tenant or its partners, members, directors, officers, shareholders, contractors, agents, employees, invitees, sublessees or licensees (collectively, “Tenant’s Parties”) for any loss or damage to any of Tenant’s Parties except to the extent caused solely by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the Landlord in the operation or maintenance of the Project or Landlord’s material breach of this Lease which Landlord has not cured within a reasonable time after receipt of written notice of such breach from Tenant. Tenant hereby waives all its Claims in respect thereof against Landlord. Further, under no circumstances shall any Indemnified Party be liable for consequential damages arising out of any loss of the use of the Premises (including, without limitation, for lost profits or business opportunities) or any equipment, inventory, information, or facilities therein by Tenant or by any person claiming through or under Tenant. The effect of such releases and waivers of the right to recover damages shall not be limited by the amount of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable thereto.

15. INSURANCE.

15.1 Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, obtain and keep in full force during the Term the types of insurance meeting the requirements set forth on attached Exhibit “G”. Concurrently with its execution and delivery of this Lease and thereafter within five (5) business days following written demand therefor from Landlord, Tenant shall deliver certificates of such insurance or copies of the policies with all endorsements required hereunder together with evidence of payment of the current premiums therefor to Landlord. In the event Tenant fails to provide certificates evidencing renewal of each such policy at least thirty (30) days before expiration of the policy (as required pursuant to attached Exhibit “G”) or within five (5) business days after written request by Landlord, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to order such insurance and charge the cost thereof plus a ten (10%) administrative fee to Tenant, which amount shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. Failure of Landlord to demand such certificate or other evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements contained in this Lease or failure of Landlord to identify a deficiency from evidence that is provided to Landlord shall not be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s obligation to maintain such insurance. By requiring insurance herein, Landlord does not represent that coverage and limits will necessarily be adequate to protect Tenant, and such coverage and limits shall not be deemed as a limitation on Tenant’s liability under the indemnities granted to Landlord in this Lease. Tenant’s failure to procure the required insurance shall not excuse Tenant from any obligations hereunder and shall subject Tenant to contractual damages.

Without limiting the obligations of Tenant set forth in this Section 15.1, Tenant agrees (A) to provide Landlord with written notice of any cancellation of the foregoing insurance within ten (10) days following receipt of the cancellation notice from Tenant’s insurance carrier, and (B) if at any time available from Tenant’s liability insurance carrier, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s cost, obtain an endorsement to such policy requiring notification by the carrier to Landlord of cancellation of insurance which shall be given at least ten (10) days in advance of the cancellation.

15.2 Independent Contractors’ Insurance. Without limiting the foregoing, any contractor (including, without limitation, the janitorial contractor) or any other third party engaged by or through Tenant

 

-12-


to perform any alterations, maintenance, repairs, or other services within the Premises or elsewhere within the Building or Project (including, without limitation, within any telephone or electrical rooms) shall deliver to Landlord evidence of liability insurance meeting the requirements set forth on attached Exhibit “H” or shall otherwise satisfy Landlord as to such contractor’s financial capability as determined by Landlord in Landlord’s sole subjective discretion.

15.3 Waiver of Subrogation Rights. Each policy of property insurance obtained by Tenant shall expressly waive all rights of subrogation against Landlord, Tenant and their respective officers, directors, general partners, employees, agents and representatives or shall contain the ISO endorsement CG 2404 (subrogation waiver). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant waive any rights of recovery (whether in contract or in tort) against the other for injury or loss due to hazards covered by policies of property insurance containing such a waiver of subrogation clause or endorsement to the extent of the injury or loss covered thereby. All casualty insurance required to be provided by Tenant under this Lease shall release Landlord from any claims for damage to any person on the Premises and elsewhere on the Project and to Tenant’s fixtures, personal property, improvements and alterations in or on the Premises or the Project, caused by or resulting from risks insured against under the insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant and in force at the time of such damage. All of Landlord’s and Tenant’s repair and indemnity obligations under this Lease with regard to property casualty risks required to be insured hereunder shall be subject to the waiver contained in this Section.

15.4 Landlord’s Insurance. During the Term, Landlord shall insure the Project (in addition to, and not in lieu of any insurance which Tenant is obligated to maintain) against damage with all risk insurance and public liability insurance, and any other coverages Landlord or its Lender determines to be appropriate, all in such amounts and with such deductibles as Landlord considers appropriate. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain and carry any other form or forms of insurance as it or its Lender may determine advisable. Such insurance may be procured through a policy of blanket insurance. The allocated costs of such insurance shall be borne by Tenant pursuant to Section 4.3. Tenant shall not be named as an additional insured therein. Notwithstanding any contribution by Tenant to the cost of insurance premiums as provided under this Lease, Tenant acknowledges that it has no right to receive any proceeds from any insurance policies carried by Landlord.

15.5 Tenant’s Covenants. Tenant will not keep, use, sell or offer for sale in or upon the Premises any article which may be prohibited by any insurance policy periodically in force covering the Building or which shall invalidate the insurance policies carried by Tenant or Landlord. If Tenant’s use of the Premises, whether or not Landlord has consented to the same, results in any increase in premiums for the insurance periodically carried by Landlord with respect to the Building, Tenant shall pay any such increase in premiums as additional rent within ten (10) days after being billed therefor by Landlord. In determining whether increased premiums are a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises, a schedule issued by the organization computing the insurance rate on the Building or the Tenant Improvements, if any, showing the various components of such rate shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make up such rate. Tenant shall promptly comply with all reasonable requirements of the insurance authority or any present or future insurer relating to the Premises. If any of Landlord’s insurance policies shall be canceled or cancellation shall be threatened or the premium or coverage thereunder changed or threatened to be changed in any way because of the use of the Premises or any part thereof by Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant or by anyone Tenant permits on the Premises and, if Tenant fails to remedy the condition giving rise to such threatened or actual cancellation, or threatened or actual change in coverage or premiums, then, within forty-eight (48) hours after notice thereof, Landlord may, at its option, either terminate this Lease or enter upon the Premises and attempt to remedy such condition, and Tenant shall promptly pay the cost thereof to Landlord as additional rent. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or injury caused to any property of Tenant or of others located on the Premises resulting from such entry. If Landlord is unable or elects not to remedy such condition, then Landlord shall have all of the remedies for a Tenant default provided for in this Lease.

16. DESTRUCTION.

16.1 Extent of Damage. If the Building, the Premises, or the Project is damaged by fire or other perils, Landlord shall:

(a) Within thirty (30) days after Landlord has been notified of the occurrence of any damage to the Premises that substantially interferes with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, Landlord shall promptly provide Tenant with an estimate in Landlord’s reasonable discretion of the time to repair such damages (the “Repair Estimate”), If Landlord fails to deliver the Repair Estimate to Tenant within the foregoing thirty day (30)-day period, the Repair Estimate shall be deemed to be less than one hundred twenty (120) days. Provided the Repair Estimate is (or is deemed to be) less than one hundred twenty (120) days, then, upon Landlord’s receipt from Tenant of any insurance deductible applicable to such damage if the damage was caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or any Tenant Parties (an “Insurance Deductible”), Landlord shall promptly commence and diligently pursue to completion repair of such damage. Tenant shall deliver any such Insurance Deductible to Landlord within fifteen (15) business days following delivery of the Repair Estimate. Receipt of any such Insurance Deductible (if any is required) by Landlord shall be a condition precedent for Landlord’s benefit to commence construction. Delay in delivery of any such Insurance Deductible shall, at Landlord’s election, be Tenant Delay. If, however, the Repair Estimate is more than the preceding one hundred twenty (120) days, then either Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to the other within ten (10) business days following the date of such determination (the “Termination Election Date”). If neither Landlord nor Tenant timely elects to terminate this Lease by the Termination Election Date, Landlord shall repair such damage, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 16. Either party’s failure to deliver such written election to the other party by the Termination Election Date shall be deemed to be a determination by the party not giving notice to keep the Lease in effect. If Tenant or Landlord elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section, then the Lease shall terminate as of the date of the casualty, provided, however, that, to the extent Tenant continues to occupy any portion of the Premises for any purpose before such termination date, the rent shall be reduced to reflect the percentage of the Premises that Tenant is occupying. Time is of the essence in such election.

(b) If Landlord is obligated to restore any damage as set forth, above, and such restoration is not substantially completed within the above one hundred twenty (120) days (or such date as set forth in the Repair Estimate, as applicable) after the date of such damage or destruction or such later period of time as set forth in the Repair Estimate (provided that such restoration period shall be extended by one (1) business day for each business day of delay in the substantial completion of the restoration that is caused by any Force Majeure Delay and/or any Tenant Delay) (the “Estimated Completion Date”), Tenant shall have the right, at any time after the Estimated Completion Date to deliver to Landlord and any Lender written notice that Tenant intends to terminate this Lease if the repair or restoration is not substantially completed within thirty (30) days thereafter. If the restoration of the damage is not substantially completed within such additional thirty (30) day period (which additional period shall be extended by one (1) business day for each business day of delay in the substantial completion of the restoration that is caused by any Force Majeure Delay or Tenant Delay), this Lease shall terminate. Tenant’s termination right under this Section 16.1(ii) shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for Landlord’s failure to complete restoration of the Premises as required under this Lease, and Tenant waives rights to any other remedies, damages, or compensation, including, without limitation, to consequential damages. “Force Majeure Delays” shall mean any delays due to strikes, lockouts, or other labor disturbance, civil disturbance, riot, sabotage, blockage, embargo, inability to secure materials, supplies, or labor through ordinary sources by reason of regulation or order of any government or regulatory body after commercially reasonable efforts to obtain same, delays in the

 

-14-


procurement of required governmental permits and/or licenses after commercially reasonable efforts to obtain same, reasonably unanticipated delays caused by third party legal or administrative claims or challenges, reasonably unanticipated delays caused by lightning, rain, earthquake, fire, storm, hurricane, tornado, flood, washout, explosion, or any other similar cause outside of Landlord’s reasonable control.

16.2 Lease Termination. Upon any termination of this Lease under any of the provisions of this Section 16, the parties shall be released without further obligation to the other from the date possession of the Premises is surrendered to Landlord, except for liabilities which have previously arisen, including any Rent that is then unpaid.

16.3 Rent Abatement. In the event of repair, reconstruction or restoration by Landlord as provided in this Section 16, the Rent payable under this Lease shall only be abated proportionately with the degree to which Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired during the period of such repair, reconstruction or restoration. Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages (consequential or otherwise) for (i) loss in the use of the whole or any part of the Premises, or (ii) any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damaged, repair, reconstruction or restoration.

16.4 Release of Obligations. Tenant shall not be released from any of its obligations under this Lease except to the extent and upon the conditions expressly stated in this Section 16.

16.5 Extent of Repair. If Landlord is obligated to or elects to repair or restore as herein provided, Landlord shall be obligated to repair or restore only those portions of the Building and the Premises which were originally provided at Landlord’s expense, and the repair and restoration of items not provided at Landlord’s expense shall be the obligation of Tenant. Under no circumstances shall Landlord be required to repair or replace any of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, equipment or inventory.

16.6 Damage Toward End of Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 16, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises when the damage resulting from any casualty covered under this Section 16 occurs during the last six (6) months of the Term.

16.7 Civil Code Waivers. The provisions of Civil Code Section 1932, Subsection 2, and Section 1933, Subsection 4, which permit termination of a lease upon destruction of the leased premises, are hereby waived by Tenant, and the provisions of this Lease shall govern in case of such destruction. Except as herein provided, Tenant shall not be released frond any of its obligations under this Lease, the Rent and other expenses payable by Tenant under this Lease shall not abate, and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any damage or destruction to the Premises, the Building or the Project or any inconvenience or injury to Tenant by reason of any maintenance, repairs, alterations, decorations, additions, or improvements to the Premises, Building, or Project.

17. CONDEMNATION.

17.1 Definitions. The following definitions shall apply: (1) “Condemnation” means (a) the exercise of any governmental power of eminent domain, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise by condemnor and (b) the voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to any condemnor either under threat of condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation are proceeding; (2) “Date of Taking” means the date the condemnor has the right to possession of the property being condemned; (3) “Award” means all compensation, sums or anything of value awarded paid or received on a total or partial condemnation; and (4) “Condemnor” means any public or quasi-public authority, or private corporation or individual, having a power of condemnation.

 

-15-


17.2 Obligations to be Governed by Lease. If during the Term of the Lease there is any taking of all or any part of the Premises or the Project, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be determined pursuant to this Lease. Each party waives the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure section 1265.130 and any amendments or successor statutes thereto allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises.

17.3 Permanent, Total or Partial Taking. If the Premises are totally taken by Condemnation, this Lease shall terminate on the Date of Taking. If any portion of the Premises is taken by Condemnation, this Lease shall remain in effect, except that Tenant can elect to terminate this Lease if the remaining portion of the Premises is rendered unsuitable for Tenant’s continued use of the Premises as determined by Tenant in Tenant’s good faith business judgment. If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the date of termination, which date shall not be earlier than thirty (30) days nor later than ninety (90) days after Tenant has notified Landlord of its election to terminate; except that this Lease shall terminate on the Date of Taking if the Date of Taking falls on a date before the date of termination as designated by Tenant. If any portion of the Premises is taken by condemnation and this Lease remains in full force and effect, on the Date of Taking the Rent shall be reduced by an amount in the same ratio as the total number of square feet in the Premises taken bears to the total number of square feet in the Premises immediately before the date of taking.

17.4 Temporary Taking. If the Condemnation (either or part or of all of the Premises) is temporary in nature, then (i) this Lease shall continue in full force and (ii) Rent shall abate only based on the extent to which Tenant’s ability to use the Premises has been diminished. For purposes of this Section 17.4, a temporary Condemnation shall be any Condemnation in effect for a period of two hundred seventy (270) days or less.

17.5 Retention of Award and Obligation to Restore. Any Award shall be the sole property of Landlord, whether such award is made as compensation for diminution in the value of the leasehold or the taking of the fee, or as severance damages; provided Tenant shall be entitled to that portion of the Award for loss or damage to Tenant’s trade fixtures and removable personal property and Tenant’s relocation costs, If this Lease if not terminated as a result of the Condemnation as set forth above, Landlord shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by the Condemnation (except to the extent Tenant has been reimbursed therefor by the Condemnor).

18. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE.

18.1 General Restrictions. Tenant may not assign, transfer, hypothecate, mortgage, encumber, by operation of law or otherwise, this Lease, or any interest herein or hereto, nor sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, nor grant any license or right of use or occupancy with respect to the Premises or any portion thereof (each, a “Transfer”), without Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that Landlord’s consent may be given or withheld in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 18, which the parties agree are reasonable restrictions and conditions pursuant to California Civil Code section 1995.250. Any Transfer without Landlord’s written consent shall be voidable and, at Landlord’s election, shall constitute a Default after the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods. No withholding of consent by Landlord for any reason deemed sufficient by Landlord shall give rise to any claim by Tenant or any proposed transferee or entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or to any abatement of rent. In this connection, Tenant hereby expressly waives its rights under California Civil Code Section 1995.310(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant shall not be permitted to have more than one (1) sublease of the Premises at any one time.

 

-16-


18.2 Requests for Consent. In connection with any proposed Transfer, at least sixty (60) days before the effective date of the Transfer, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice of Tenant’s intent to Transfer (“Tenant’s Notice”) and shall furnish (i) the name and identity of the proposed transferee (“Transferee”); (ii) such financial and related information respecting the Transferee as Landlord shall reasonably request; (iii) such business history and experience information as Landlord shall reasonably request; (iv) all terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, including a copy of the proposed Transfer documents, (v) a bank reference, (vi) the name and description of business experience of the individuals and entities who are the owners of the equity interests in the proposed Transferee, and (vii) if a guarantee is to be provided, it shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to Landlord’s legal counsel and its shall be accompanied by financial statements (prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) for the two most recently completed fiscal years of the proposed guarantor(s) of the proposed Transferee’s obligations as to “Tenant” hereunder. Whether or not Landlord refuses to consent to such Transfer or consents to such Transfer, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with it terms.

18.3 Miscellaneous. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 18 to the contrary, in connection with any proposed Transfer, (i) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and accountant fees; (ii) Tenant shall pay Landlord’s processing and investigation fees and costs in connection with such Transfer, which shall be the greater of Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($500.00) or Landlord’s actual costs per Transfer, (iii) Tenant and its Transferee shall, within ten (10) days after notice to do so, execute and deliver to Landlord such documents, and take such further action, as Landlord may reasonably require to effect such Transfer or to protect Landlord’s rights, (iv) the acceptance by Landlord of Rent from any other person other than Tenant shall not be deemed a consent to any Transfer, (v) the consent to any particular Transfer shall not be deemed a consent to any other Transfer, and (vi) the consent to any Transfer (or the consummation of any such Transfer) shall not in any way relieve Tenant of any of its primary obligations and liabilities under this Lease, whether arising before or after such consent. If any default arises under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without first exhausting any remedies for that default which Landlord may have against the Transferee. No consent to a Transfer shall constitute a future waiver of the provisions of this Section 18.

18.4 Fees and Net Rent Payments. If Landlord consents to any Transfer, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional Rent, fifty percent (50%) of all net profits or other consideration received by Tenant promptly after its receipt (or, if Landlord so requires, and without any release of Tenant’s liability for the same, Tenant shall instruct the transferee to pay such sums and other consideration directly to Landlord). As used in this Section 18.4, “net sums or other consideration” shall include without limitation the then fair value of any non-cash consideration and shall be calculated after first deducting reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the Transfer, including commissions payable to a broker not affiliated with Tenant, space modification costs in connection with the Transfer, reasonable legal costs, rent concessions to the Transferee, and lease takeover costs. If this Lease is assigned or if the Premises or any part thereof is subleased or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may collect Rent from the assignee, subtenant, or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the Rent due hereunder, but no such assignment, underletting, subleasing, occupancy or collection shall be deemed an acceptance of the assignee, subtenant, or occupant as tenant (except as expressly set forth in this Section 18) or as a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of the covenants on the part of the Tenant to be performed as herein contained. The acceptance of Rent from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the provisions of this Lease or the consent to a Transfer of the Premises.

18.5 Conditions to a Transfer. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a proposed Transfer. However, in exercising such right of approval or disapproval, Landlord shall be entitled to take into account any fact or factor which Landlord reasonably deems relevant to such decision; provided, however, Landlord’s consent shall be deemed to be reasonably withheld if the proposed Transfer does not satisfy all of the following conditions:

-19-


The occurrence of any of the transactions or events in subparagraphs (a) through (e), above, or the violation by Tenant of Sections 18.1 and/or 18.2, above, shall give Landlord the right (but not the obligation) to require that the Security Deposit be increased to an amount equal to six (6) times the then Base Monthly Rent.

18.7 Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Section 18, Landlord’s consent to any Transfer of this Lease or the Premises shall not be required for any “Permitted Transfer” to a “Tenant Affiliate” pursuant to attached Exhibit “M”; provided, however, notwithstanding any Permitted Transfer:

 

  (i) Tenant shall at all times continue to remain directly and primarily liable under this Lease;

 

  (ii) at least thirty (30) days before any such proposed Permitted Transfer, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice of the proposed Permitted Transfer together with reasonable supporting documentation substantiating that the proposed Permitted Transfer qualifies as a Permitted Transfer pursuant to Exhibit “M”;

 

  (iii) no such assignment or subletting otherwise permitted by this Section 18.7 and Exhibit “M” may be made by Tenant to an assignee or sublessee that is then insolvent or then involved in a bankruptcy proceeding;

 

  (iv) The proposed use of any proposed use of any Permitted Transferee shall not involve, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, in the generation, storage, use or disposal of Hazardous Materials in greater quantities, frequency and/or toxicity than the use of the current Tenant under this Lease; and

18.8 Recapture Option. Landlord has the right (the “Recapture Option”), at its option, in the case of a proposed assignment of this Lease or a subletting of substantially all of the Premises, to terminate the Lease in its entirety. The Recapture Option shall be exercisable, if at all, by delivery of written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice. If Landlord fails to exercise the Recapture Option within such period with respect to a proposed Transfer, Tenant may thereafter assign or sublet the Lease on the same terms as those stated in Tenant’s Notice with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent, subject to compliance with the remainder all other provisions of this Section 18, shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, Landlord’s failure to exercise the Recapture Option within such period with respect to a proposed subleasing of all or any portion of the Premises shall not be deemed a consent to the proposed Transfer.

 

-20-


18.9 Parking Rights Transfer Restriction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall Tenant have the right to transfer any parking rights separate and apart from this Lease or, with respect to any sublease, in an amount in excess of the amount, calculated on a square footage basis for such subleased space, allocated for such subleased space. Landlord shall have the right to withhold its consent to any such transfer of parking rights in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Tenant acknowledges that the right to parking is in itself a unique right under this Lease, and that the foregoing restriction on Tenant’s right to transfer such parking rights is reasonable.

18.10 Signage Transfers. Unless Landlord otherwise expressly consents, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, no Transfer other than a full assignment or sublease of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Premises shall include the signage rights under this Lease; provided, however, under no circumstances shall any such assignment expand the signage rights under this Lease (including the creation of any rights to multiple signage), and any signage rights under Lease shall not be assigned to more than a single entity.

18.11 Sign and Banner Prohibitions. Under no circumstances shall Tenant or any broker or agent representing Tenant place any signs, banners or other advertising or notices anywhere on the Premises promoting or advertising the availability of any space in the Building.

19. DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default hereunder by Tenant (a “Default”):

(i) Abandonment of the Premises by Tenant. Notwithstanding the provisions of Civil Code Section 1951.3, “abandonment” means any absence by Tenant from the Premises for five (5) days or longer while in default of any provision of this Lease;

(ii) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant under this Lease, as and when due, where such failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 regarding unlawful detainer actions;

(iii) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform according to the provisions of Sections 15, 22, 30.7, 30.8 and 30.9 where such failure continues for more than three (3) business days after notice from Landlord;

(iv) Except where a specific time period is otherwise set forth for Tenant’s performance in this Lease, the failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 19, where such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant. Any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 regarding unlawful detainer actions. If the nature of Tenant’s default is such that it is reasonably capable of being cured but more than ten (10) days are required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall commence such cure within the ten (10)-day period and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion, which completion shall occur not later than sixty (60) days from the date of such notice from Landlord. The foregoing shall not however limit Landlord’s rights to perform Tenant’s obligations and charge Tenant for the costs thereof pursuant to Section 20.3, below;

(v) An Act of Insolvency that is not discharged within thirty (30) days; and/or

(vi) If the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease is guaranteed: (A) the death of a guarantor, (B) the termination of a guarantor’s liability with respect to this Lease other than in accordance with the terms of such guaranty, (C) a guarantor becoming insolvent or the subject of a bankruptcy filing, or (D) a guarantor’s refusal to honor the guaranty.

20. LANDLORD’S REMEDIES. Landlord shall have the following remedies if Tenant is in Default, which remedies are not exclusive; they are cumulative and in addition to any remedies now or later allowed by law:

20.1 Termination Rights. Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises at any time. No act by Landlord other than giving notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord’s initiative to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession. Landlord shall terminate this Lease and any and all rights of Tenant hereunder, by any lawful means, in which event, Landlord, without the requirement of any further notice to Tenant, shall have the right immediately to enter the Premises and take full possession thereof, in which event Landlord shall also have the right to recover from Tenant (i) the worth at the time of award made on account of the default resulting in such termination, together with interest thereon at the maximum lawful interest rate per annum, of any unpaid portion of the Rent which had been earned by Landlord at the time of such termination, (ii) the worth at the time of award, together with interest thereon at the maximum lawful interest rate per annum, of the amount by which any unpaid portion of the Rent which would have been earned after such termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of loss of any unpaid portion of the Rent which Tenant proves could have reasonably been avoided, (iii) the worth at the time of award, discounted at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award plus one percent (1%), of the amount by which any unpaid portion of the Rent for the balance of the Term exceeds the amount of loss of any unpaid portion of the Rent which Tenant proves could have reasonably been avoided, and (iv) any and all other amounts necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by such Default or which in the ordinary course of business would be likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in maintaining or preserving the Premises after such Default, preparing the Premises for reletting to a new tenant, accomplishing any repairs or alterations to the Premises for purposes of such reletting, rectifying any damage thereto occasioned by the act or omission of Tenant and any other costs necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises.

20.2 Right to Maintain Lease in Effect. Alternatively, Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4, which provides that the Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and enforce any of its other rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to recover all of the Rent as it becomes due under this Lease. However, any acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises by Landlord or the appointment of a receiver by Landlord to protect its right, title and interest in and to the Premises or any portion thereof or this Lease shall neither constitute termination of this Lease nor interference with such rights of Tenant to possession, assignment and sublease.

20.3 Landlord Self-Help. Without limiting Landlord’s rights and remedies set forth herein, if Tenant fails to perform any affirmative duty or obligation of Tenant under this Lease within five (5) business days, after written notice to Tenant (or in case of an emergency, without notice), Landlord may at its option (but without obligation to do so), perform such duty or obligation on Tenant’s behalf, including but not limited to the performance of required maintenance, repairs and/or replacements, the obtaining of reasonably required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or approvals. The costs and expenses of any such performance by Landlord plus a ten percent (10%) administrative fee shall be due and payable as additional rent by Tenant to Landlord upon invoice therefor.

20.4 Partial Payments. Acceptance of partial Rent payments shall not constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights available under this Lease at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right to recover possession of the Premises as set forth above.

 

-22-


21. ENTRY ON PREMISES. Landlord and its authorized representatives shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times with twenty-four (24) hours’ notice to Tenant for any of the following non-emergency purposes: (a) To determine whether the Premises are in good condition and whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Lease; (b) To do any necessary maintenance and to make any restoration to the Premises or the Project that Landlord has the right or obligation to perform; (c) To post “for sale” signs at any time during the Term; (d) To show the Premises to prospective brokers, agents, buyers, lenders, tenants or persons interested in an exchange at any time during the Term; or (e) To repair, maintain or improve the Project and to erect scaffolding and protective barricades around and about the Premises but not so as to prevent entry to the Premises and to do any other act or thing necessary for the safety or preservation of the Premises or the Project. Landlord shall not be liable in any manner for any inconvenience, disturbance, loss of business, nuisance or other damage arising out of Landlord’s entry onto the Premises as provided in this Section 21. Tenant shall not be entitled to an abatement or reduction of Rent if Landlord exercises any rights reserved in this Section 21. Landlord shall conduct his activities on the Premises as provided herein in a manner that is reasonable and will cause the least inconvenience, annoyance or disturbance to Tenant. If Tenant re-keys the doors in or to the Premises using anyone other than Landlord’s locksmith, Tenant shall pay for the cost to re-key using Landlord’s locksmith. Landlord shall at all times have and retain four (4) sets of keys with which to unlock all doors in or to the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults and safes. Tenant shall not alter any lock or install a new or additional lock or bolt on any door of the Premises without prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. To the extent any approval is given, Tenant shall in any event use Landlord’s approved locksmith. All locks shall be keyed to Landlord’s master keying system for the Project.

22. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT. Unless Landlord or any beneficiary or mortgagee with a lien on the Project or any ground lessor with respect to the Project elects otherwise as provided below, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the following without the necessity of any additional document being executed by Tenant for the purpose of effecting a subordination:

22.1 The lien and provisions of any mortgage, deed of trust, or declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions which may now exist or hereafter be executed by which the Project, any ground lease, or Landlord’s interest or estate in any of those items, is encumbered; and

22.2 All ground leases which may now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the Project.

Landlord, any such beneficiary or mortgagee, or any such ground lessor, shall at any time have the right to elect to subordinate or cause to be subordinated to this Lease any such liens and provisions or ground lease. Any election under this Section 22 may be made by giving notice thereof to Tenant at least thirty (30) days before the election is to become effective. If any ground lease terminates for any reason or any mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant shall, at the election of any successor-in-interest to Landlord and notwithstanding any subordination, attorn to and become the Tenant of the successor-in-interest to Landlord. Tenant waives any right to declare this Lease terminated or otherwise ineffectual because of any such foreclosure, conveyance or ground lease termination. Tenant shall execute and deliver, upon demand by Landlord and in the form and content required by a Lender or as otherwise reasonably requested by Landlord, any additional documents evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease and Tenant’s obligation to attorn to and become the Tenant of any successor-in-interest to Landlord as provided for under this Section 22. Tenant shall sign and return any such documents within ten (10) days after written request. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute, deliver and record any such document in the name and on behalf of Tenant.

 

-23-


23. NOTICE. Any notice, consent, or approval required or permitted to be given under this Lease must be in writing and may be given by personal delivery, by Federal Express or other nationally recognized courier service or by certified mail, and shall be deemed sufficiently given when actually received by the intended party, whether personally delivered or mailed by certified mail, if to Tenant at the address designated in Section 1.2, and if to Landlord at the addresses designated in Section 1.2. Either party may specify a different address for notice purposes by written notice to the other. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, notices given by email or facsimile transmission shall not be deemed sufficiently given.

24. WAIVER. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by Landlord shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. No act or conduct of Landlord, including, without limitation, acceptance of the keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant before the expiration of the Term. Only written notice from Landlord to Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the Premises and accomplish termination of the Lease. Landlord’s consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant. Any waiver by Landlord of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of the Lease.

25. SURRENDER OF PREMISES; HOLDING OVER.

25.1 Lease Surrender. Upon expiration of the Term, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord the Premises in the condition required by this Section 25. Unless Landlord, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, elects otherwise, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost using Landlord’s approved contractor, remove all alterations to the Premises constructed during the Term, and restore the Premises to the condition existing before construction thereof, leaving the Premises in good condition and broom clean, subject only to ordinary wear and tear, casualty, condemnation and repairs that are not Tenant’s responsibility under this Lease. “Ordinary wear and tear” shall not include any damage or deterioration that would have been prevented by good maintenance practice or by Tenant performing all of its obligations under this Lease. Additionally, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord for the costs incurred by Landlord to remove any of Tenant’s signage. Further, upon Lease expiration or earlier termination, Tenant shall remove all personal property from the Premises. Landlord can elect to retain or dispose of in any manner Tenant’s personal property not removed from the Premises by Tenant prior to the expiration of the Term. Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damage to Tenant resulting from Landlord’s retention or disposition of Tenant’s personal property. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for Landlord’s costs for storage, removal or disposal of Tenant’s personal property. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s sole option and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, either (i) remove all Building Cable installed by Tenant existing within the Premises and within the common ducts and shafts of the Building, using all necessary care in removing such Building Cable in order to avoid any damage to the Building, or (ii) not remove all or any portion of the Building Cable, provided that Tenant shall leave any such Building Cable clearly labeled and in good working order with all connections intact.

25.2 Holdover. If Tenant, with Landlord’s written consent, remains in possession of the Premises after expiration or termination of the Term, or after the date in any notice given by Landlord to Tenant terminating this Lease, such possession by Tenant shall, at Landlord’s election, be deemed to be a month-to-month tenancy terminable on written 30-day notice at any time, by either party. All provisions of this Lease, except those pertaining to Term and Rent, shall apply to the month-to-month tenancy, except Tenant shall pay

 

-24-


Base Monthly Rent in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of Base Monthly Rent for the last full calendar month during the regular Term plus one hundred percent (100%) of Tenant’s Share o1 Common Area Charges.

26. LANDLORD DEFAULT/LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND TIME. If Landlord fails to perform any obligations on its part to be performed under this Lease, no Landlord default shall arise unless and until Landlord fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days following actual receipt of written notice setting forth in detail the alleged default (provided, however, if such default cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences such cure as soon as reasonably possible and diligently prosecutes it to completion). In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of Landlord’s default, and Tenant’s remedies shall be limited to damages and/or injunctive relief. In consideration of the benefits accruing under this Lease, Tenant and all successors and assigns further agree that, in the event of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default under this Lease by Landlord: (a) the sole and exclusive remedy of Tenant shall be against the Landlord’s interest in the Project; (b) no partner of Landlord shall be named as a party in any suit or proceeding (except as may be necessary to secure jurisdiction of the partnership, if applicable); (c) no partner of Landlord shall be required to answer or otherwise plead to any service of process; (d) no judgment will be taken against any partner of Landlord; (e) no writ of execution will ever be levied against the assets of any partner of Landlord; (f) the obligations of Landlord under this Lease do not constitute personal obligations of the individual partners, directors, officers, co-managing directors, or shareholders of Landlord, and Tenant shall not seek recourse against the individual partners, directors, officers, members, co-managing directors, or shareholders of Landlord or any of their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability in respect to this Lease; and (g) any claim, defense, or other right of Tenant arising in connection with this Lease or negotiations before this Lease was signed, shall be barred unless Tenant files an action or interposes a defense based thereon within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the alleged event on which Tenant is basing its claim, defense or right.

27. RELOCATION. Intentionally deleted.

28. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND INDOOR AIR QUALITY. Landlord and Tenant agree as follows with respect to the existence or use of Hazardous Material (as defined below) on the Premises:

28.1 General Restrictions and Indemnification. Tenant shall (i) not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be brought upon, kept or used in or about the Premises or transported to or from the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees (for purposes of this Section 28, “Tenant”), without the prior written consent of Landlord which Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold as long as Tenant demonstrates to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that such Hazardous Material is necessary for Tenant’s business, will be used, stored and transported only in incidental quantities, and will be used, kept, stored and transported in a manner that complies with all Laws pertaining to any such Hazardous Material. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall not use or store any chlorinated solvents in connection with its business operations, except that Tenant shall be permitted to store within the Premises one prepackaged container of such solvents containing no more than sixty four (64) ounces of chlorinated solvents to be used in in the operation of its business provided such solvents are maintained in such packages and are used, stored and disposed in compliance with applicable Laws. If Tenant breaches the obligations stated in the preceding sentences, or if the presence, transportation or release of Hazardous Material on, to or from the Premises caused or permitted by or through Tenant (whether affirmatively or through Tenant’s active or passive negligence) results in contamination or alleged contamination of the Premises or any surrounding property, or if contamination of the Premises or any surrounding property by Hazardous Material otherwise occurs for which Tenant is legally liable to Landlord for damage resulting therefrom, then Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from any and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties,

 

-25-


fines, costs, liabilities or losses (including, without limitation, diminution in value of the Premises, damages for the loss or restriction on use of rentable or usable space or of any amenity of the Premises, damages arising from any adverse impact on marketing of space in the Project, and sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys’ fees, consultant fees and expert fees) which arise during or after the Term as a result of such contamination. This indemnification of the Indemnified Parties by Tenant includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or political subdivision because of Hazardous Material present or alleged tope present in the soil or ground water on or under the Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence or alleged presence, release or transportation of any Hazardous Material on the Premises caused or permitted by Tenant results in any contamination of the Premises or surrounding property, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at its sole expense as are necessary to return the Premises or surrounding property to the condition existing prior to the introduction of any such Hazardous Material to the Premises or surrounding Property; provided that (i) Landlord’s approval of the proposed remedial actions shall first be obtained, which approval may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole, subjective but good faith discretion; and (ii) such actions are calculated to cause the least amount of inconvenience to other Tenants. The provisions of this Section 28.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby consents to Tenant’s use, in compliance with Applicable Law, of normal quantities of office and cleaning supplies and the materials described in the Environmental Questionnaire.

28.2 Assignment Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any proposed assignment, sublease or transfer of the Premises or this Lease if (i) the proposed transferee’s anticipated use of the Premises involves the generation, storage, use, treatment, disposal or transportation of Hazardous Material; (ii) the proposed transferee has been required by any prior landlord, lender or governmental authority to take remedial action in connection with Hazardous Material contaminating a property if the contamination resulted from such transferee’s actions or use of the property in question; or (iii) the proposed transferee is subject to any enforcement order issued by any governmental authority in connection with the use, disposal, transportation or storage of a Hazardous Material.

28.3 Definition. As used in this Lease, the term “Hazardous Material” means any flammable items, explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous or toxic substances, material or waste or related materials, including any substances defined as or included in the definition of “hazardous substances,” “hazardous wastes,” “hazardous materials,” “toxic substances,” “infectious agents,” “biohazardous materials,” “biohazardous wastes,” “chemical materials,” “chemical wastes,” “radioactive materials,” or “radioactive wastes,” now or subsequently regulated under any applicable federal, state or local laws, ordinances or regulations, including without limitation, petroleum-based products and materials, paints, solvents, lead, cyanide, DDT, printing inks, acids, pesticides, ammonia compounds and other chemical products, asbestos, petroleum (or fractions thereof), PCB’s and similar compounds, sharp waste, medical wastes, microbial pathogens, and including any different products and materials which are subsequently found to have adverse effects on the environment or the health or safety of persons.

28.4 Building System Contaminants. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 28, to prevent the generation, growth, or deposit of any mold, mildew, bacillus, virus, pollen or other micro-organism (collectively, “Biologicals”) and the deposit, release or circulation of any indoor contaminants, including emissions from paint, carpet and drapery treatments, cleaning, maintenance and construction materials and supplies, pesticides, pressed wood products, insulation, and other materials and products (collectively with Biologicals, “Contaminants”), that could adversely affect the health, safety or welfare of any tenant, employee, or other occupant of the Building or their invitees (each, an “Occupant”), Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, at all times during the Term use commercially reasonable efforts to (i)

 

-26-


maintain the humidity level and the air exchange rate within the Premises at a level recommended to prevent or minimize the growth of any Biologicals and the circulation of any other Contaminants, and (ii) maintain, operate and repair the Premises in such a manner to prevent or minimize the accumulation of stagnant water and moisture in planters, kitchen appliances and vessels, carpeting, insulation, water coolers and any other locations where stagnant water and moisture could accumulate, and (iii) otherwise maintain, operate and repair the Premises to prevent the generation, growth, deposit, release or circulation of any Contaminants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, under no circumstances shall Tenant have the right to install wall covering within the interior walls of the Premises. Tenant shall immediately advise Landlord if Tenant observes any condition in the Premises giving rise to a reasonable suspicion of the presence of any Contaminants, and, in any event, if any governmental entity or any Occupant alleges that its health, safety or welfare has or could be adversely affected by any such Contaminants. Landlord may then elect to engage the services of an industrial hygiene testing laboratory (or alternatively or concurrently require Tenant to do the same) to determine whether the cause of any alleged adverse health effect is or could be attributable to any Contaminants present within the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for all such testing costs and for any consequential damages and costs (including, without limitation, any third-party claims, loss of rental, remediation, removal and/or abatement costs, and increase in insurance premiums) resulting from Tenant’s failure to comply in whole or in part with the terms of this Section 28.4.

28.5 Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Disclosures. Prior to the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall complete, execute and deliver to Landlord an Environmental Questionnaire and Disclosure Statement (the “Environmental Questionnaire”) in the form of Exhibit “L” attached to this Lease, and Tenant shall certify to Landlord all information contained in the Environmental Questionnaire as true and correct. The completed Environmental Questionnaire shall be deemed incorporated into this Lease for all purposes, and Landlord shall be entitled to rely fully on the information contained therein. On each anniversary of the Term Commencement Date and thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of this Lease (each such date is hereinafter referred to as a “Disclosure Date”), Tenant shall disclose to Landlord in writing the names and amounts of all Hazardous Materials, or any combination thereof, which were stored, generated, used or disposed of on, under or about the Premises for the twelve (12)-month period prior to each Disclosure Date, and which Tenant intends to store, generate, use or dispose of on, under or about the Premises through the next Disclosure Date. At Landlord’s option, Tenant’s disclosure obligations hereunder shall include a requirement that Tenant update, execute and deliver to Landlord the Environmental Questionnaire, as the same may be modified by Landlord from time to time.

28.6 Landlord Hazardous Materials Representation. Landlord hereby represents and warrants to the best of Landlord’s knowledge that, as of the Reference Date, Landlord has received no notice from any governmental agency that the Project or any part thereof is in violation of any Laws governing the use, generation, or disposal of Hazardous Materials. The “best of Landlord’s knowledge” shall mean the actual current knowledge of Carl W. Robertson, Jr. and Hope I. Warschaw, managers of the co-managing directors of Landlord, without undertaking or the duty to undertake any independent investigation or inquiry and without imposing any individual liability on either of them.

29. SECURITY MEASURES. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide guard service, security systems or other security measures for the benefit of Tenant, the Premises or the Project. As material consideration to Landlord under this Lease, Tenant hereby assumes all responsibility for the protection of Tenant, its employees, agents, licensees and invitees (collectively, “Tenant’s Personnel”) and the property (including inventory) of Tenant and Tenant’s Personnel from the actions (including the criminal actions) of third parties.

30.7 Estoppel Certificates. Tenant, for itself and its subtenants, hereby covenants and agrees (i) to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, from time to time during the Term within ten (10) days after landlord provides Tenant with written notice to do so, an estoppel certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “J” certifying in writing (a) that this Lease is in full force and effect, unmodified or modified solely as set forth in such estoppel certificate, and (b) that Tenant has fully and completely performed and complied with each and all of its covenants, agreements, terms and conditions under this Lease without exception or except only as set forth in such estoppel certificate, (ii) that any such estoppel certificate may be conclusively relied upon by a prospective purchaser or encumbrance of the Premises, and (iii) that the failure of Tenant to so deliver such estoppel certificate in such period of time shall be conclusive upon Tenant (A) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (B) that the Rent has not been prepaid under this Lease except as required pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 of this Lease, and (C) that Landlord has as of the date on which Tenant failed to deliver such estoppel certificate, fully and completely performed and complied with each and all of its covenants, agreements, terms and conditions under this Lease, without exception. At Landlord’s option, the failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be a Default by Tenant subject to the notice and cure period provided for under Section 19(iii), above.

30.8 Financing. In the event any of Landlord’s Lenders require, as a condition to financing, modifications to this Lease which do not materially increase any of Tenant’s obligations (when viewed cumulatively) or materially diminish Tenant’s rights hereunder, Landlord shall submit to Tenant such written amendment with the required modifications. If Tenant fails to execute and return the same within ten (10) days after the amendment has been submitted, Landlord shall have the right (i) to treat such failure to execute and return the amendment as a Default subject to the expiration of the notice and cure period under Section 19(iii), above, and/or (ii) to act as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact (and Tenant hereby so irrevocably appoints Landlord) with full power and authority to execute and deliver such amendment for and in the name of Tenant.

ADDENDUM TO WARLAND BUSINESS PARK LEASE DATED APRIL20, 2015

BETWEEN WARLAND INVESTMENTS COMPANY

AND iRHYTHM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

This Addendum to Warland Business Park Lease (“Addendum”) is attached to and made a part of that certain Warland Business Park Lease, dated April 20, 2015 between Warland Investments Company, as Landlord, and iRhythm Technologies, Inc., as Tenant (the “Lease”). Except as otherwise expressly defined below, all initially capitalized terms in this Addendum shall have the same meanings as given to them in the Lease. To the extent of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Addendum and the terms and conditions of the Lease, the terms and conditions of this Addendum shall control.

31. PREMISES DELIVERY WARRANTY. As of the Term Commencement Date only, Landlord warrants that the existing plumbing, electrical and mechanical operating systems servicing the Premises and the Building roof shall be in good working condition (the “Premises Delivery Warranty”). If Landlord does not receive reasonably detailed written notice of any breach of the Premises Delivery Warranty (a “Remedy Notice”) within thirty (30) days after the Term Commencement Date, then the Premises Delivery Warranty and all of Landlord’s obligations thereunder shall automatically expire. Time is of the essence. To the extent Landlord does receive a Remedy Notice within the forgoing thirty (30) day period, then Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, promptly remedy such breach of the Premises Delivery Warranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Premises Delivery Warranty shall not apply to any damage or operational failure to the extent any such damage or operational failure results from the acts or omissions of Tenant, its agents, contractors, subcontractors, employees, agents and/or licensees. In the event Tenant fails to timely provide a Remedy Notice in connection with a breach of the Premises Delivery Warranty pursuant to this Section 31, Landlord shall have no obligation to cure, correct or repair the Premises condition giving rise to such breach.

32. OPTION TO EXTEND. Landlord grants to Tenant an option (the “Option”) to extend the Term for five (5) additional years (the “Extension”) on the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease, except that the Base Monthly Rent shall be adjusted on the first day of the Extension (the “Adjustment Date”) to the “fair rental value” of the Premises on the Adjustment Date as follows:

32.1 At least one hundred eighty (180) days before the Adjustment Date, Landlord and Tenant shall meet in an effort to negotiate, in good faith, the fair rental value of the Premises as of the Adjustment Date. If Landlord and Tenant have not agreed upon the fair rental value of the Premises at least one hundred (100) days before the Adjustment Date, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree in good faith upon a single appraiser not later than seventy-five (75) days before the Adjustment Date, If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a single appraiser within this time period, then Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one (1) appraiser not later than sixty-five (65) days before the Adjustment Date. Within ten (10) days thereafter, the two (2) appointed appraisers shall appoint a third appraiser. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint its appraiser within the prescribed time period, the single appraiser appointed shall determine the fair rental value of the Premises. If both parties fail to appoint appraisers within the prescribed time periods, then the first appraiser thereafter selected by a party shall determine the fair rental value of the Premises. Each party shall bear the cost of its own appraiser, and the parties shall share equally the cost of a single or third appraiser, if applicable. Each appraiser shall have at least ten (10) continuous years’ experience in the appraisal of Class A office buildings in Orange County, California and shall be a member of one or more professional organizations such as MAI or an equivalent.

32.2 For purposes of such appraisal, “fair rental value” shall mean the price that a ready and willing tenant would pay, as of the Adjustment Date, as monthly rent to a ready and willing landlord of first class office business park space comparable to the Premises in Cypress if that property were exposed for lease

 

-32-


on the open market for a reasonable period of time with a lease comparable to this Lease and with tenant improvements comparable to those in the Premises and taking into account visibility and frontage on major streets. If a single appraiser is chosen, then such appraisal shall determine the fair rental value of the Premises. Otherwise, the fair rental value of the Premises shall be the arithmetic average of the two (2) of the three (3) appraisals which are closest in amount, and the third appraisal shall be disregarded. In no event shall there be any rent concession or tenant improvement allowance for the Extension term. Landlord and Tenant shall instruct the appraiser(s) to complete their determination of the fair rental value not later than thirty (30) days before the Adjustment Date. If the fair rental value is not determined before the Adjustment Date, then Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord the monthly rent in effect immediately prior to such Extension, until the fair rental value is determined. When the fair rental value of the Premises is determined, Landlord shall deliver notice of that amount to Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, the difference between the monthly rent actually paid by Tenant to Landlord and the new monthly rent determined under this Section 32.

32.3 During the Extension term, the Base Monthly Rent shall increase every twelve (12) months by three percent (3%), calculated by multiplying the Base Monthly Rent then in effect by 1.03.

32.4 The Option shall be exercised only by written unconditional notice received by Landlord at least nine (9) months but not more than twelve (12) months before expiration of the Term. Time is of the essence in Tenant’s delivery of such notice. If Landlord does not timely receive Tenant’s written unconditional notice of the exercise of the Option, the Option under this Section 32 shall immediately lapse, and there shall be no further right to extend the Term or to the Extension. The Option shall be exercisable by Tenant on the express condition for Landlord’s benefit that Tenant shall not be in Default at the time of the exercise of the Option. If Tenant timely exercises the Option under this Section 32, “Term” shall mean, for all purposes under this Lease, the sum of (a) the Term, plus (b) the term of the Extension for which the Option has been exercised. Tenant’s election to exercise the Option shall be deemed an acceptance of the Building and the Premises in their then condition.

32.5 The Option is personal to Tenant and to any Permitted Transferee to whom this Lease is assigned. In the event of any other sublease or other Transfer of Tenant’s interest in this Lease before the permitted exercise of the Option (i.e., other than to any Permitted Transferee to whom this Lease is assigned), the Option shall not be transferred to any transferee but shall instead automatically lapse.

33. BROKERS. Tenant and Landlord each represent and warrant to the other that it has had no dealings with any person, firm, broker or finder, other than CBRE, which represents Landlord, and Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, which represents Tenant (collectively, the “Brokers”), in connection with the negotiation of this Lease and/or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby, and that no broker or other person, firm or entity other than the Brokers is entitled to any commission or finder’s fee in connection with said transaction claiming through it. Tenant and Landlord do each hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any damages, judgment, claims, lawsuits, expenses, and liability for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed broker, finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings or actions of the indemnifying party, including any attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred with respect thereto, Under no circumstances shall the Brokers named herein or any other broker or finder be considered third party beneficiaries to this Lease. Subject to the foregoing, Landlord shall pay or cause to be paid the commissions due the Brokers per the terms and conditions of separate agreements.

CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT

Tenant and Landlord are executing simultaneously with this Construction Agreement (“Agreement”) that certain Warland Business Park Lease (the “Lease”) covering the Premises described as 11085 Knott Avenue, Suite “B”, Cypress, California. This Agreement is incorporated into and made a part of the Lease. All capitalized terms herein have the same definition as in the Lease. In consideration of the mutual covenants contained in the Lease and for other valuable consideration, Tenant and Landlord agree that the Premises shall be improved as set forth below.

1. Building Standards and Non-Standards. Tenant understands and acknowledges that this Agreement relates to both “building standard” and “non-building standard” work in the Premises. The term “building standard” work or material refers to the elements of construction and the specifications and quantities set forth on Schedule 1 to this Agreement. All other leasehold improvements in the Premises, including any materials and/or specifications selected by Tenant as alternatives to the building standard work or material, are “building non-standard” work or material. The term “Tenant Improvements” shall mean all “building standard” and “building non-standard” leasehold improvements to be constructed by Landlord within the Premises pursuant to this Agreement.

2. Plans and Specifications.

2.1 By execution of the Lease, Tenant hereby approves the Tenant Improvements depicted and/or described on the plans prepared by Designworx (the “Project Architect”) and attached hereto as Schedule 2 to this Agreement (the “Plans”). Tenant represents that the Tenant Improvements as described on the Plans fully and accurately represent Tenant’s requirements for the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

2.2 If the Tenant Improvements include any floor covering other than traditional carpeting, then Landlord shall perform a moisture test at Tenant’s cost. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost for performing such test upon demand as a condition to commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant may not waive any moisture barrier requirement or recommendation without Landlord’s approval, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.

3. Completion of the Tenant Improvements. Following execution of the Lease, receipt of any additional funds as may be required pursuant to Paragraph 2.2 above, and issuance of all required permits and licenses, Landlord shall proceed with due diligence to construct the Tenant Improvements in a good workmanlike manner, in accordance with the Plans and all Laws. Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts to achieve Substantial Completion (as defined below) in a timely manner following mutual execution of the Lease. However, subject only to Section 7 below, Landlord shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damages as a result of delays in construction beyond Landlord’s control, including, without limitation, strikes, non-availability of materials or labor through ordinary sources, rain, fire, flood or any other inclement weather conditions, delays in governmental or quasi-governmental approvals, or Tenant Delays (as defined below).

 

Exhibit “E”

Page 1 of 9


4. Tenant Delay. If Substantial Completion (as defined in Paragraph 6 below) is delayed by reason of any Tenant Delays (as defined in Section 3 of the Lease), the Substantial Completion date shall be the date Substantial Completion would have occurred had the Tenant Delays not occurred.

5. Change Orders. Tenant may request any change, addition or alteration to the Plans (a “Change Order”) by delivering to Landlord a written request therefor together with complete working drawings and specifications, to the extent applicable, showing the change, addition or alteration, provided that such change, addition or alteration does not (i) involve Disapproved Design Criteria (as defined below) or (ii) individually or, together with other changes, additions or alterations, in the aggregate result in the construction of the Tenant Improvements being of lesser quality than the Tenant Improvements as described in the Plans. Landlord shall promptly, following receipt of such request, give Tenant a written description of (a) modifications or revisions required by Landlord in order to approve the Change Order, (b) the Tenant Delay because of such Change Order, and (c) an itemized binding estimate of the cost of implementing the Change Order. Within five (5) days after such description and estimate, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice either granting or withholding authorization to proceed with the performance of the work shown on the requested Change Order. If no such authorization is received by Landlord within this five (5) business day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have withheld authorization to proceed with the performance of the work shown on the Change Order. The cost of the work in the amount set forth on the Change Order shall be due and payable to Landlord upon, and a condition precedent to the effectiveness of, Tenant’s written approval of the Change Order. Upon receipt of a Change Order request, Landlord shall be entitled to stop the Tenant Improvement construction if, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, it is necessary to halt construction to accommodate the Change Order request. Such delays in construction shall be considered a Tenant Delay.

No deviations will be permitted from “building standard work” except as approved in writing by Landlord and which approval may be withheld in Landlord’s good faith discretion. Landlord shall not be required to approve any “building non-standard” work that: (i) does not conform to applicable statutes, ordinances or regulations or is disapproved by any governmental agency, (ii) requires building service beyond the level normally provided to other tenants in the Project, (iii) overloads the floors, (iv) may, as determined by Landlord in Landlord’s good faith discretion, adversely impact the structure of the Building or any of the Building systems, (v) can be seen from the exterior of the Building, (vi) increase any of Landlord’s costs (unless Tenant pays for such increase), or (vii) is, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, of a nature or quality that is inconsistent with the objectives of Landlord for the Project. The categories described in preceding clauses (i) through (vii) inclusive are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Disapproved Design Criteria.”

Any dispute between Landlord and Tenant regarding or arising out of Plans or any Change Orders shall be resolved by the Project Architect, or any replacement Project Architect selected by Landlord, whose determination shall be final.

6. Substantial Completion. For purposes of this Lease, substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements (“Substantial Completion”) shall be the date on which the Project Architect certifies that the Tenant Improvements have been substantially completed in accordance with the Plans such that Tenant can reasonably occupy or otherwise utilize the Premises for the use for which it is intended (the “Tenant Improvements Certificate”) (unless issuance of such certificate is delayed because of Fixturizing or any other Tenant Delay, in which event Substantial Completion shall be determined as of the date such certificate would otherwise have been issued) and Landlord has tendered possession of the Premises to Tenant under the Lease. Tendered possession shall mean that Landlord has notified Tenant that the keys to the Premises are

 

Exhibit “E”

Page 2 of 9


ready to be picked up; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord be required to give Tenant the keys or access to the Premises until Tenant has given Landlord written proof of insurance that meets the requirements of the Lease.

7. Delay in Substantial Completion. If Substantial Completion does not occur within four (4) weeks following the mutual execution and delivery of this Lease plus one (1) day for each day of Force Majeure Delays (as defined in Lease Section 16.1) and/or any Tenant Delays (as defined in Lease Section 3) (the “Target Completion Date”), then as of the date of Substantial Completion, Tenant shall receive a credit of Base Monthly Rent in an amount equal to one half (1/2) of the per diem Base Monthly Rent from the Target Completion Date until the date of Substantial Completion. The foregoing shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for any delay in Substantial Completion caused by Landlord.

8. Early Occupancy. At such time as Contractor has determined that the Premises are at a stage of construction to safely permit Tenant’s contractors to enter the Premises for purposes of installing cabling and fixtures (collectively, “Fixturizing”) without interrupting construction or delaying the scheduled date for Substantial Completion, Tenant shall have the right to commence Fixturizing, provided (i) such early entry shall in any event not be earlier than the thirtieth (30) day before the scheduled date of Substantial Completion, (ii) before any such early entry, Landlord shall have received certificates of insurance from all such contractors in compliance with Lease Exhibit H, and (iii) Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for any and all third party Claims arising from or in connection with such early entry.

9. Punch List Procedure. Within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the Tenant Improvements Certificate, Tenant shall provide to Landlord a written punch list (the “Punch List”) setting forth any additional corrective work with respect to the Tenant Improvements which Tenant reasonably believes is required to be performed pursuant to the Plans. If no such punch list is provided by Tenant within this fifteen (15) business day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises in its entirety, and Landlord shall have no further obligation with respect to completion of the Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall use all reasonable efforts to complete all of the items on the Punch List within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the Punch List from Tenant.
