ARTICLE 1.

PREMISES; COMMON AREAS

1.1 Subject to all of the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the Premises. The property shown on Exhibit A to this Lease and all improvements thereon and appurtenances on that land thereto, including, but not limited to, the Building, other office buildings, access roadways, and all other related areas, shall be collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Project.” Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may elect to sell one or more of the buildings within the Project and that upon any such sale Tenant’s pro-rata share of those Operating Expenses and Taxes (each as defined below) allocated to the areas of the Project other than buildings may be adjusted accordingly by Landlord. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the purpose of Exhibit A and Exhibit B are to show the approximate location of the Premises in the Building and the general layout of the Project and such Exhibits are not meant to constitute an agreement, representation or warranty as to the construction of the Premises, the Building or the Project, the precise area of the Premises, the Building or the Project or the specific location of the Building, “Common Areas,” as that term is defined in Section 1.3, below, or the elements thereof or of the accessways to the Premises, or the Project, or the identity or existence of any other tenant or occupant of the Project.

1.2 For purposes of this Lease, (1) “rentable area” and “usable area” shall be calculated pursuant to the Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings (ANSI/BOMA Z65.1, 1996); (2) “rentable square feet” and “rentable footage” shall have the same meaning as the term “rentable area;” and (3) “usable square feet” and “usable square footage” shall have the same meaning as the term “usable area.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, although the recital of the rentable area herein above set forth is for descriptive purposes only, it shall be deemed binding upon both parties. Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease or receive any adjustment or rebate of any Base Rent or Additional Rent (as hereinafter defined) payable hereunder if said recital is incorrect. Tenant has inspected the Premises and is fully familiar with the scope and size thereof and agrees to pay the full Base Rent and Additional Rent set forth herein in consideration for the use and occupancy of said space, regardless of the actual number of square feet contained therein.

1.3 Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the rules and regulations referred to in Article 27 of this Lease, those portions of the Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the Project (such areas are collectively referred to herein as the “Common Areas”). The Common Areas shall consist of the “Project Common Areas” and the “Building Common Areas.” The term “Project Common Areas,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portion of the Project reasonably designated as such by Landlord. The term “Building Common Areas,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portions of the Common Areas located within the Building reasonably designated as such by Landlord. The manner in which the Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be at the reasonable discretion of Landlord and the use thereof shall be subject to such reasonable and non-discriminatory rules, regulations and restrictions as Landlord may make from time to time. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project and the Common Areas; provided that in exercising its rights under this sentence,

 

-4-


Landlord shall make commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption to Tenant’s business operations during standard business hours. Subject to “Applicable Laws,” as that term is defined in Section 5.1(a) of this Lease, except when and where Tenant’s right of access is specifically excluded in this Lease, and except in the event of an emergency, Tenant shall have the right of access to the Premises, the Building, and the parking facilities servicing the Building twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week during the “Term,” as that term is defined in Section 2.1, below.

ARTICLE 2.

TERM AND CONDITION OF PREMISES

2.1 The term of this Lease (the “Term”) shall commence on the Commencement Date and end on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated (the “Termination Date”) as hereinafter provided. The Commencement Date of this Lease and the obligation of Tenant to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other charges hereunder shall not be delayed or postponed by reason of any delay by Tenant in performing changes or alterations in the Premises not required to be performed by Landlord. In the event the Term shall commence on a day other than the first day of a month, then the Base Rent shall be paid when due for such partial month prorated in accordance with Section 4.4 below. In the event Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a Commencement Date Memorandum in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, setting forth the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date, then Tenant shall execute and return such Commencement Date Memorandum to Landlord within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt thereof. Tenant’s failure to execute such Commencement Date Memorandum shall not affect Tenant’s liability hereunder.

2.2 Except as expressly set forth in this Lease and in the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Tenant Work Letter”), Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement, remodeling or refurbishment work or services related to the improvement, remodeling or refurbishment of the Premises, and Tenant shall accept the Premises in its “As Is” condition on the Commencement Date.

2.3 The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that the Premises and the portion of the Building in which the Premises is located were in good and satisfactory condition at such time. Neither Landlord nor Landlord’s agents have made any representations or promises with respect to the condition of the Building, the Premises, the land upon which the Building is constructed, or any other matter or thing affecting or related to the Building or the Premises, except as herein expressly set forth, and no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise except as expressly set forth in this Lease.

2.4 Notwithstanding Section 2.3 above, Landlord warrants that the roof, structural components of the Building, HVAC system, electrical and plumbing systems, elevator, parking lot or site lighting (the “Covered Items”), other than those constructed by Tenant, shall be in good operating condition on the date possession of the Premises is delivered to Tenant. If a non-compliance with such warranty exists as of the delivery of possession, or if one of such Covered Items should malfunction or fail within sixty (60) days after the delivery of possession to Tenant, Landlord shall, as Landlord’s sole obligation with respect to such matter, promptly

 

-5-


after receipt of written notice from Tenant setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and extent of such non-compliance, malfunction or failure, rectify the same at Landlord’s expense. If Tenant does not give Landlord the required notice within sixty (60) days after the delivery of possession to Tenant, Landlord shall have no obligation with respect to that warranty other than obligations regarding the Covered Items set forth elsewhere in this Lease.

ARTICLE 3.

USE, NUISANCE, OR HAZARD

3.1 The Premises shall be used and occupied by Tenant solely for general office purposes, Biological Safety Laboratory (BSL), biology labs, chemistry labs, dry lab, and light storage consistent with Comparable Buildings and for no other purposes without the prior written consent of Landlord.

3.2 Tenant shall not use, occupy, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises for any purpose which Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, deems to be illegal or dangerous; permit any public or private nuisance; do or permit any act or thing which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant of the Project; keep any substance or carry on or permit any operation which might introduce offensive odors or conditions into other portions of the Project, use any apparatus which might make undue noise or set up vibrations in or about the Project; permit anything to be done which would increase the premiums paid by Landlord for special causes of loss form property insurance on the Project or its contents or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Project or any part thereof or any of its contents; or permit anything to be done which is prohibited by or which shall in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance, or governmental rule, regulation or covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Project, including without limitation the CC&R’s (as defined below) now or hereinafter in force. Should Tenant do any of the foregoing without the prior written consent of Landlord, and the same is not cured within five (5) business days after notice from Landlord (which five (5) business day period shall be subject to extension if the nature of the breach is such that it is not possible to cure the same within such five (5) business day period so long as the Tenant commences the cure of such breach within such five (5) day period and diligently prosecutes the same to completion) it shall constitute an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) and shall enable Landlord to resort to any of its remedies hereunder.

3.3 The ownership, operation, maintenance and use of the Project may in the future be subject to certain conditions and restrictions contained in an instrument (“CC&R’s”) to be recorded against title to the Project. Tenant agrees that regardless of when those CC&R’s are so recorded, this Lease and all provisions hereof shall be subject and subordinate thereto and Tenant shall comply therewith; provided, however, that except as required by Applicable Laws (as defined below), Tenant’s obligation to comply with CC&R’s recorded after the date of this Lease shall be subject to Tenant’s prior consent, which will not be withheld unless the same would materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease. Accordingly, as a consequence of that subordination, during any period in which the entire Project is not owned by Landlord, (a) the portion of Operating Expenses and Taxes (each as defined below) for the Common Areas shall be allocated among the owners of the Project as provided in the CC&R’s, and (b) the CC&R’s shall govern the maintenance and insuring of the portions of the Project not owned by Landlord. Tenant shall, promptly upon request of Landlord, sign all reasonable documents reasonably required to carry out the foregoing into effect.

ARTICLE 4.

RENT

4.1 Tenant hereby agrees to pay Landlord the Base Rent. For purposes of Rent adjustment under the Lease, (a) if the Commencement Date falls on a date that is prior to the 15th day of the calendar month, the number of months is measured from the first day of the calendar month in which the Commencement Date falls, or (b) if the Commencement Date falls on a date that is the 15th or a later day of the calendar month, the number of months is measured from the first day of the calendar month after the calendar month in which the Commencement Date falls. Each monthly installment (the “Monthly Rent”) shall be payable by check or by money order on or before the first day of each calendar month. In addition to the Base Rent, Tenant also agrees to pay Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes (each as hereinafter defined), and any and all other sums of money as shall become due and payable by Tenant as set forth in this Lease, all of which shall constitute additional rent under this Lease (the “Additional Rent”). Landlord expressly reserves the right to apply any payment received to Base Rent or any other items of Rent that are not paid by Tenant. The Base Rent, the Monthly Rent and the Additional Rent are sometimes hereinafter collectively called “Rent” and shall be paid when due in lawful money of the United States without demand, deduction, abatement, or offset to the addresses for the rental payment set forth in the Basic Lease Information, or as Landlord may designate from time to time.

4.2 In the event any Monthly or Additional Rent or other amount payable by Tenant hereunder is not paid within five (5) days after its due date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge (the “Late Charge”), as Additional Rent, in an amount of five percent (5%) of the amount of such late payment. Failure to pay any Late Charge shall be deemed a Monetary Default (as hereinafter defined). Provision for the Late Charge shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Landlord hereunder, at law or in equity, and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner. Failure to charge or collect such Late Charge in connection with any one (1) or more such late payments shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to charge and collect such Late Charges in connection with any other similar or like late payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2, the Late Charge shall not be imposed with respect to the first late payment in any calendar year during the Term unless the applicable payment due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within five (5) days following written notice from Landlord that such payment was not received when due. Following the first such written notice from Landlord in any calendar year during the Term (but regardless of whether such payment has been received within such five (5) day period), the Late Charge will be imposed without notice for any subsequent payment due from Tenant during such calendar year which is not received within five (5) days after its due date.

4.3 Simultaneously with the execution hereof, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (i) the Rent Payable Upon Execution as payment of the first full installment of Monthly Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes due hereunder and (ii) an amount equal to the Security Deposit Amount to be held by Landlord as security for Tenant’s faithful

 

-7-


performance of all of the terms, covenants, conditions, and obligations required to be performed by Tenant hereunder (the “Security Deposit”). The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the performance by Tenant of all of the covenants of this Lease to be performed by Tenant and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest thereon. The Security Deposit is not an advance rent deposit, an advance payment of any other kind, or a measure of Landlord’s damages in any case of Tenant’s default. If Tenant fails to perform any of the covenants of this Lease to be performed by Tenant within applicable notice and cure periods, including without limitation the provisions relating to payment of Rent, the removal of property at the end of the Term, the repair of damage to the Premises caused by Tenant, and the cleaning of the Premises upon termination of the tenancy created hereby, then Landlord shall have the right, but no obligation, to apply the Security Deposit, or so much thereof as may be necessary, for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default and/or to cure any other such failure by Tenant. If Landlord applies the Security Deposit or any part thereof for payment of such amounts or to cure any such other failure by Tenant, then Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord the sum necessary to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount then required by this Section 4.3. Landlord’s obligations with respect to the Security Deposit are those of a debtor and not a trustee. Landlord shall not be required to maintain the Security Deposit separate and apart from Landlord’s general or other funds and Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with any of Landlord’s general or other funds. Upon termination of the original Landlord’s or any successor owner’s interest in the Premises or the Building, the original Landlord or such successor owner shall be released from further liability with respect to the Security Deposit upon the original Landlord’s or such successor owner’s complying with California Civil Code Section 1950.7. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in force, to the extent such provisions (a) establish a time frame within which a landlord must refund a security deposit under a lease, and/or (b) provide that Landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of Rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage caused by the default of Tenant under this Lease, including without limitation all damages or Rent due upon termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code. So long as no Event of Default then remains uncured and no amounts due Landlord from Tenant under this Lease remain unpaid, the unused portion of the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant or the last assignee of Tenant’s interest under this Lease within thirty (30) days following expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease. Subject to the remaining terms of this Section 4.3, and provided the Reduction Conditions (as defined below) have been satisfied at the reduction effective date, Tenant shall have the right to reduce the amount of the Security Deposit so that the new Security Deposit amount shall be $401,224.77 effective as of the first day of the later of the forty-sixth (46th) month of the Term or the month following the date Tenant meets the Reduction Conditions. If Tenant is entitled to a reduction in the Security Deposit, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice requesting that the Security Deposit be reduced as provided above (the “Reduction Notice”). If Tenant provides Landlord with a Reduction Notice, and Tenant is entitled to reduce the Security Deposit as provided herein, Landlord shall refund the applicable portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the later to occur of (a) Landlord’s receipt of the Reduction Notice, or (b) the date upon which Tenant is entitled to a

 

-8-


reduction in the Security Deposit as provided above. The term “Reduction Conditions” means the following conditions have been satisfied:

(a) Either of the following shall have occurred: (i) an initial public offering of equity securities of Tenant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which results in Tenant’s stock being traded on a national securities exchange, including, but not limited to, the NYSE, the NASDAQ Stock Market or the NASDAQ Small Cap Market System or any sale thereafter of such equity securities on such national securities exchanges, or (ii) an infusion of not less than $70,000,000.00 of additional equity capital in Tenant as evidenced by Tenant’s most current audited financial statement (the “Financial Condition”); and

(b) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Lease.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Financial Condition shall be deemed satisfied as of the first day of the forty-sixth (46th) month of the Term if such Financial Condition is satisfied prior to the execution and delivery of this Lease.

4.4 If the Term commences on a date other than the first day of a calendar month or expires or terminates on a date other than the last day of a calendar month, the Rent for any such partial month shall be prorated to the actual number of days in such partial month.

4.5 All Rents and any other amount payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, if not paid when due, shall bear interest from the date due until paid at a rate equal to the prime commercial rate established from time to time by Bank of America, plus four percent (4%) per annum; but not in excess of the maximum legal rate permitted by law. Failure to charge or collect such interest in connection with any one (1) or more delinquent payments shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to charge and collect such interest in connection with any other or similar or like delinquent payments.

ARTICLE 5.

RENT ADJUSTMENT

5.1 Definitions.

(a) “Operating Expenses”, as said term is used herein, shall mean all expenses, costs, and disbursements of every kind and nature which Landlord shall pay or become obligated to pay because of or in connection with the ownership, operation, management, security, repair, restoration, replacement, or maintenance of the Project, or any portion thereof. Operating Expenses shall be computed in accordance with generally accepted real estate practices, consistently applied, and shall include, but not be limited to, the items as listed below:

Taxes shall include, without limitation: (i) Any tax on the rent, right to rent or other income from the

 

-14-

For purposes of this Lease, Taxes shall be calculated as if the tenant improvements in the Buildings were fully constructed and the Project, the Buildings, and all tenant improvements in the Buildings were fully assessed for real estate tax purposes, and accordingly, Taxes shall be deemed to be increased appropriately. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.1(b), there shall be excluded from Taxes (1) all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, documentary, transfer taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state net income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord’s net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Project), (ii) any items included as Operating Expenses, and (iii) any items paid by Tenant under Section 17.1 of this Lease, and (iv) any tax or assessment expense or any increase therein (a) in excess of the amount (including interest) which would be payable if such tax or assessment expense were paid in installments over the longest permitted term (except to the extent inconsistent with the general practice of Comparable Buildings); or (b) imposed on land and improvements other than the Project.

(c) “Lease Year” shall mean the twelve (12) month period commencing January 1st and ending December 31st.

-15-


Area as a result of an addition to the Building, partial destruction, modification or similar cause, which event causes a reduction or increase on a permanent basis, Landlord shall cause adjustments in the computations as shall be necessary to provide for any such changes. Landlord shall segregate Operating Expenses into two (2) separate categories, one (1) such category, to be applicable only to Operating Expenses incurred for the Building and the other category applicable to Operating Expenses incurred for the Common Areas and/or the Project as a whole, which shall not include any Operating Expenses allocable solely to other buildings in the Project; provided that Landlord may enter into contracts and/or provide services with respect to multiple buildings and allocate the cost of such contracts and/or services among such buildings. Two (2) Tenant’s Building Percentages shall apply, one (1) such Tenant’s Building Percentage shall be calculated by dividing the Rentable Area of the Premises by the total Rentable Area in the Building (“Tenant’s Building Only Percentage”), and the other Tenant’s Building Percentage to be calculated by dividing the Rentable Area of the Premises by the total Rentable Area of all buildings in the Project (“Tenant’s Common Area Building Percentage”). Consequently, any reference in this Lease to “Tenant’s Building Percentage” shall mean and refer to both Tenant’s Building Only Percentage and Tenant’s Common Area Building Percentage of Operating Expenses.

(e) “Tenant’s Tax Percentage” shall mean the percentage determined by dividing the Rentable Area of the Premises by the total Rentable Area of all buildings in the Project.

(f) “Market Area” shall mean the Redwood Shores submarket of Redwood City, California (the “City”).

(g) “Comparable Buildings” shall mean comparable Class “A” office/R&D/ use buildings in the Market Area.

5.2 Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Share (as hereinafter defined) of the Operating Expenses. “Tenant’s Share” shall be determined by multiplying Operating Expenses for any Lease Year or pro rata portion thereof, by Tenant’s Building Percentage. Landlord shall, in advance of each Lease Year, estimate what Tenant’s Share will be for such Lease Year based, in part, on Landlord’s operating budget for such Lease Year, and Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share as so estimated each month (the “Monthly Escalation Payments”). The Monthly Escalation Payments shall be due and payable at the same time and in the same manner as the Monthly Rent.

5.3 Landlord shall, within one hundred fifty (150) days after the end of each Lease Year, or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible, provide Tenant with a written statement of the actual Operating Expenses incurred during such Lease Year for the Project and such statement shall set forth Tenant’s Share of such Operating Expenses. Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, the difference between Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and the amount of Monthly Escalation Payments made by Tenant attributable to said Lease Year, such payment to be made within thirty (30) days of the date of Tenant’s receipt of said statement (except as provided in Section 5.4 below); similarly, Tenant shall receive a credit (or a cash payment if future Monthly Escalation Payments are insufficient for a credit) if Tenant’s Share is

 

-16-


less than the amount of Monthly Escalation Payments collected by Landlord during said Lease Year, such credit to be applied to future Monthly Escalation Payments to become due hereunder. If utilities, janitorial services or any other components of Operating Expenses increase during any Lease Year, Landlord may revise Monthly Escalation Payments due during such Lease Year by giving Tenant written notice to that effect; and thereafter, Tenant shall pay, in each of the remaining months of such Lease Year, a sum equal to the amount of the revised difference in Operating Expenses multiplied by Tenant’s Building Percentage divided by the number of months remaining in such Lease Year.

5.4 Within sixty (60) days following Tenant’s receipt of the Operating Expense statement or Taxes statement, Tenant may give Landlord notice (the “Review Notice”) stating that Tenant elects to review Landlord’s calculation of the amount of Operating Expenses or Taxes payable by Tenant for the Lease Year to which such statement applies and identifying with reasonable specificity the records of Landlord reasonably relating to such matters that Tenant desires to review. Tenant may not deliver more than one (1) Review Notice with respect to any Lease Year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord such a Review Notice within that sixty (60) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the applicable statement. If Tenant timely gives the Review Notice, Tenant shall be entitled to conduct or require an audit to be conducted, provided that (a) not more than one (1) such audit may be conducted during any Lease Year of the Term, (b) the records for each Lease Year may be audited only once, (c) such audit is commenced within ninety (90) days following Tenant’s receipt of the applicable statement, and (d) such audit is completed and a copy thereof is delivered to Landlord within one hundred eighty (180) days following Tenant’s receipt of the applicable statement. Tenant’s auditor must be a member of a nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm and must not charge a fee based on the amount that the accountant is able to save Tenant by the inspection. As a condition precedent to any inspection by Tenant’s accountant, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord such accountant’s written agreement that (i) such accountant will not in any manner solicit any other tenant of the Project with respect to an audit or other review of Landlord’s accounting records at the Project, and (ii) such accountant shall maintain in strict confidence on commercially reasonable terms any and all information obtained in connection with the review and shall not disclose such information to any person or entity other than to the management personnel of Tenant. An overcharge of Operating Expenses or Taxes by Landlord shall not entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease. No subtenant shall have the right to audit. Any assignee’s audit right will be limited to the period after the effective date of the assignment. No audit shall be permitted if an Event of Default by Tenant has occurred and is continuing under this Lease, including without limitation any failure by Tenant to pay any amount due under this Article 5 within applicable notice and cure periods. If Landlord responds to any such audit with an explanation of any issues raised in the audit, such issues shall be deemed resolved unless Tenant responds to Landlord with further written objections within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s response to the audit. In no event shall payment of Rent ever be contingent upon the performance of such audit. For purposes of any audit, Tenant or Tenant’s duly authorized representative, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall have the right, upon fifteen (15) days’ written notice to Landlord, to inspect Landlord’s books and records pertaining to Operating Expenses and Taxes at the offices of Landlord or Landlord’s managing agent during ordinary business hours, provided that such audit must be conducted so as not to interfere with Landlord’s business operations and must be reasonable as to scope and time. If actual Operating Expenses or Taxes are finally determined (by agreement of the parties, arbitration or a court of competent

 

-17-


jurisdiction) to have been overstated or understated by Landlord for any calendar year, then the parties shall within thirty (30) days thereafter make such adjustment payment or refund as is applicable, and if actual Operating Expenses and Taxes are finally determined (by agreement of the parties, arbitration or a court of competent jurisdiction) to have been overstated by Landlord for any calendar year by in excess of seven percent (7%), then Landlord shall pay the reasonable cost of Tenant’s audit, not to exceed $5,000.00.

5.5 If the occupancy of the Building during any part of any Lease Year is less than one hundred percent (100%), Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment of the variable components of Operating Expenses for that Lease Year, as reasonably determined by Landlord using sound accounting and management principles, to determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been incurred had the Building been one hundred percent (100%) occupied. This amount shall be considered to have been the amount of Operating Expenses for that Lease Year. For purposes of this Section 5.5, “variable components” include only those component expenses that are affected by variations in occupancy levels.

5.6 Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, “Tenant’s Tax Share” (as hereinafter defined) of the Taxes. “Tenant’s Tax Share” shall be determined by multiplying Taxes for any Lease Year or pro rata portion thereof, by Tenant’s Tax Percentage. Landlord shall, in advance of each Lease Year, estimate what Tenant’s Tax Share will be for such Lease Year and Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Tax Share as so estimated each month (the “Monthly Tax Payments”). The Monthly Tax Payments shall be due and payable at the same time and in the same manner as the Monthly Rent.

5.7 Landlord shall, within one hundred fifty (150) days after the end of each Lease Year, or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible, provide Tenant with a written statement of the actual Taxes incurred during such Lease Year for the Project and such statement shall set forth Tenant’s Tax Share of such Taxes. Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, the difference between Tenant’s Tax Share of Taxes and the amount of Monthly Tax Payments made by Tenant attributable to said Lease Year, such payment to be made within thirty (30) days of the date of Tenant’s receipt of said statement; similarly, Tenant shall receive a credit (or a cash payment if future Monthly Tax Payments are insufficient for such a credit) if Tenant’s Tax Share is less than the amount of Monthly Tax Payments collected by Landlord during said Lease Year, such credit to be applied to future Monthly Tax Payments to become due hereunder. If Taxes increase during any Lease Year, Landlord may revise Monthly Tax Payments due during such Lease Year by giving Tenant written notice to that effect; and, thereafter, Tenant shall pay, in each of the remaining months of such Lease Year, a sum equal to the amount of revised difference in Taxes multiplied by Tenant’s Tax Percentage divided by the number of months remaining in such Lease Year. Despite any other provision of this Article 5, Landlord may adjust Operating Expenses and/or Taxes and submit a corrected statement to account for Taxes or other government public-sector charges (including utility charges) that are for that given year but that were first billed to Landlord after the date that is ten (10) business days before the date on which the statement was furnished.

5.8 If the Taxes for any Lease Year are changed as a result of protest, appeal or other action taken by a taxing authority, the Taxes as so changed shall be deemed the Taxes for such Lease Year. Any expenses incurred by Landlord in attempting to protest, reduce or minimize Taxes shall be included in Taxes in the Lease Year in which those expenses are paid. Landlord shall have the exclusive right to conduct such contests, protests and appeals of the Taxes as Landlord shall determine is appropriate in Landlord’s sole discretion.

 

-18-


5.9 Tenant’s obligation with respect to Additional Rent and the payment of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Tax Share of Taxes shall survive the Expiration Date or Termination Date of this Lease.

In determining whether increased premiums are a result of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, a schedule issued by the organization computing the insurance rate on the Building 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 of any insurer now or hereafter in effect relating to the Premises.

Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand the cost and expense of Landlord in (A) reviewing said plans and specifications, and (B) inspecting the alterations, additions, or improvements to determine whether the same are being performed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and all laws and requirements of public authorities, including, without limitation, the fees of any architect or engineer employed by Landlord for such purpose. In any instance where Landlord grants such consent, and permits Tenant to use its own contractors, laborers, materialmen, and others furnishing labor or materials for Tenant’s construction (collectively, “Tenant’s Contractors”), Landlord’s consent shall be deemed conditioned upon each of Tenant’s Contractors (1) working in harmony and not interfering with any laborer utilized by Landlord, Landlord’s contractors, laborers, or materialmen; and (2) furnishing Landlord with evidence of acceptable liability insurance, worker’s compensation coverage, and if at any time such entry by one or more persons furnishing labor or materials for Tenant’s work shall cause such disharmony or interference, the consent granted by Landlord to Tenant may be withdrawn immediately upon written notice from Landlord to Tenant. If Tenant is using Tenant’s Contractors for Tenant’s construction, the contract with such Tenant’s Contractor(s) shall provide for a guaranteed maximum price or a stipulated sum as the contract amount and shall be fully executed and delivered by Tenant and Tenant’s Contractor(s) prior to the commencement of construction. Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain all necessary governmental permits and certificates for the commencement and prosecution of alterations, additions, or improvements and for final approval thereof upon completion, and shall cause any alterations, additions, or improvements to be performed in compliance therewith and with all Applicable Laws (including without limitation, California Energy Code, Title 24) and all requirements of public authorities and with all applicable requirements of insurance bodies.

Upon the completion of work and upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord copies of all waivers or releases of lien from each of Tenant’s Contractors. No alterations, modifications, or additions to the Project or the Premises shall be removed by Tenant either during the Term or upon the Expiration Date or the Termination Date without the express written approval of Landlord.

15.2 Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans for work shall create no responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with all laws, rules, and regulations of governmental agencies or authorities, including, but not limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act. Landlord may, at its option, at Tenant’s expense, require that Landlord’s contractors be engaged for any work upon the integrated Building mechanical or electrical systems or other Building or leasehold improvements.

15.3 At least five (5) days prior to the commencement of any work permitted to be done by persons requested by Tenant on the Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the proposed work and the names and addresses of Tenant’s Contractors. During any such work on the Premises, Landlord, or its representatives, shall have the right to go upon and inspect the Premises at all reasonable times, and shall have the right to post and keep posted thereon building permits and notices of non-responsibility or to take any further action which Landlord may deem to be proper for the protection of Landlord’s interest in the Premises.

15.4 During such times as Tenant is performing work or having work or services performed in or to the Premises, Tenant shall require its contractors, and their subcontractors of all tiers, to obtain and maintain commercial general liability, automobile, workers compensation, employer’s liability, builder’s risk, and equipment/property insurance in such amounts and on such terms as are customarily required of such contractors and subcontractors on similar projects. The amounts and terms of all such insurance are subject to Landlord’s written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The commercial general liability and auto insurance carried by Tenant’s contractors and their subcontractors of all tiers pursuant to this section shall name Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent, and such other persons as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of or related to their work or services (collectively, “Additional Insureds”). Such insurance shall provide primary coverage without contribution from any other insurance carried by or for the benefit of Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent, or other Additional Insureds. Such insurance shall also waive any right of subrogation against each Additional Insured. Tenant shall obtain and submit to Landlord, prior to the earlier of (i) the entry onto the Premises by such contractors or subcontractors or (ii) commencement of the work or services, certificates of insurance evidencing compliance with the requirements of this section. All of such alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 13 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof.

15.5 Tenant’s initial improvement of the Premises shall be governed by Exhibit C and not the provisions of this Article 15 (other than Section 15.4).

In the event any or all of Tenant’s fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and other personal property shall be assessed and taxed with Landlord’s real property, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s share of such taxes within ten (10) days after delivery to Tenant by Landlord of a statement in writing setting forth the amount of such taxes applicable to Tenant’s property.

ARTICLE 18.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

18.1 Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (except that Landlord shall in no event be obligated to consent to an encumbrance of this Lease): (a) assign, convey, mortgage or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest hereunder, or sublease the Premises, or any part thereof, whether voluntarily or by operation of law; or (b) permit the use of the Premises or any part thereof by any person other than Tenant and its employees. Any such transfer, sublease or use described in the preceding sentence (a “Transfer”) occurring without the prior written consent of Landlord shall, at Landlord’s option, be void and of no effect. Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not

 

-30-


constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to withhold its consent to any future Transfer. Landlord may require as a condition to its consent to any assignment of this Lease that the assignee execute an instrument in which such assignee assumes the remaining obligations of Tenant hereunder; provided that the acceptance of any assignment of this Lease by the applicable assignee shall automatically constitute the assumption by such assignee of all of the remaining obligations of Tenant that accrue following such assignment. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a mutual cancellation hereof shall not work a merger and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing sublease or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to Landlord of Tenant’s interest in any or all such subleases.

18.2 For purposes of this Lease, the term “Transfer” shall also include (i) if a Tenant is a partnership or limited liability company, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the partners, members or managers thereof, or transfer of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of partnership or membership interests therein within a twelve (12) month period, or the dissolution of the partnership or the limited liability company without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a corporation whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter or any other form of entity, the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, the sale or other transfer of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares or other interests of or in Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death or as part of a public offering or equity financing), within a twelve (12) month period.

18.3 If Tenant desires the consent of Landlord to a Transfer, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed effective date of the Transfer, a written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) which includes (a) the name of the proposed sublessee or assignee, (b) the nature of the proposed sublessee’s or assignee’s business, (c) the terms and provisions of the proposed sublease or assignment, and (d) current financial statements and information on the proposed sublessee or assignee. Upon receipt of the Transfer Notice, Landlord may reasonably request additional information concerning the Transfer or the proposed sublessee or assignee (the “Additional Information”). Subject to Landlord’s rights under Section 18.6, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any assignment or sublease (excluding an encumbrance), which consent or lack thereof shall be provided within thirty (30) days of receipt of Tenant’s Transfer Notice; provided, however, Tenant hereby agrees that it shall be a reasonable basis for Landlord to withhold its consent if Landlord has not received the Additional Information requested by Landlord. Without limiting any other reasonable basis for Landlord to withhold its consent to the proposed Transfer, Landlord and Tenant agree that for purposes of this Lease and any Applicable Law, Landlord shall not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld its consent if, in the judgment of Landlord: (i) the transferee is of a character or engaged in a business which is not in keeping with the standards or criteria used by Landlord in leasing the Project, or the general character or quality of the Project; (ii) the financial condition of the transferee is such that it may not be able to perform its obligations in connection with this Lease or the sublease, as applicable (or otherwise does not satisfy Landlord’s standards for financial standing with respect to tenants under direct leases of comparable economic scope); (iii) the transferee is negotiating for space in the Project or has negotiated with Landlord within the preceding sixty (60) days (or is currently negotiating with Landlord) to lease space in the Project, provided, that this subpart (iii) shall only apply if Landlord has adequate space in the

 

-31-


Project to accommodate such transferee’s needs, (iv) the transferee has the power of eminent domain, is a governmental agency or an agency or subdivision of a foreign government; (v) an Event of Default by Tenant has occurred and is uncured at the time Tenant delivers the Transfer Notice to Landlord; (vi) in the judgment of Landlord, such a Transfer would violate any term, condition, covenant, or agreement of Landlord involving the Project or any other tenant’s lease within it or would give an occupant of the Project a right to cancel or modify its lease; (vii) [intentionally omitted]; (viii) in Landlord’s judgment, the use of the Premises by the proposed transferee would not be comparable to the types of use by other tenants in the Project would result in more than a reasonable density of occupants per square foot of the Premises, would increase the burden on elevators or other Building systems or equipment over the burden thereon prior to the proposed Transfer, would require increased services by Landlord or would require any alterations to the Project to comply with applicable laws; (ix) thetransferee intends to use the space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease; (x) the terms of the proposed Transfer would allow the transferee to exercise a right of renewal, right of expansion, right of first offer, or other similar right held by Tenant (or will allow the transferee to occupy space leased by Tenant pursuant to any such right); (xi) the proposed Transfer would result in more than three subleases per each full floor of the Premises being in effect at any one time during the Term; or (xii) any ground lessor or mortgagee whose consent to such Transfer is required fails to consent thereto. Tenant hereby waives any right to terminate the Lease as remedies for Landlord wrongfully withholding its consent to any Transfer and agrees that Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy therefor shall be to seek specific performance of Landlord’s obligation to consent to such Transfer or damages.

18.4 Landlord and Tenant agree that, in the event of any approved assignment or subletting, the rights of any such assignee or sublessee of Tenant herein shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions, and provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, restriction on use, assignment, and subletting and the covenant to pay Rent. Following any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord may collect the rent owing by the assignee or sublessee directly from such assignee or sublessee and apply the amount so collected to the Rent herein reserved. No such consent to or recognition of any such assignment or subletting shall constitute a release of Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s performance hereunder from further performance by Tenant or such guarantor of covenants undertaken to be performed by Tenant herein. Tenant and any such guarantor shall remain liable and responsible for all Rent and other obligations herein imposed upon Tenant, and Landlord may condition its consent to any Transfer upon the receipt of a written reaffirmation from each such guarantor in a form acceptable to Landlord (which shall not be construed to imply that the occurrence of a Transfer without such a reaffirmation would operate to release any guarantor). Consent by Landlord to a particular assignment, sublease, or other transaction shall not be deemed a consent to any other or subsequent transaction. In any case where Tenant desires to assign, sublease or enter into any related or similar transaction, whether or not Landlord consents to such assignment, sublease, or other transaction, Tenant shall pay any reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in connection with such assignment, sublease or other transaction, including, without limitation, fees incurred in reviewing documents relating to, or evidencing, said assignment, sublease, or other transaction; provided that those costs shall not exceed $2,500.00 with respect to any single Transfer so long as Tenant and the proposed transferee execute Landlord’s standard form of consent document without material negotiation. All documents utilized by Tenant to evidence any subletting or assignment for which Landlord’s consent has been requested and is required hereunder, shall be subject to prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) by Landlord or its attorney.

18.5 Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord a portion of any sums or economic consideration payable to Tenant by any sublessee, assignee, licensee, or other transferee, within ten (10) days following receipt thereof by Tenant from such sublessee, assignee, licensee, or other transferee, as the case might be, as follows:

(a) In the case of an assignment, fifty percent (50%) of any sums or other economic consideration received by Tenant as a result of such assignment shall be paid to Landlord after first deducting the unamortized cost of reasonable leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant in connection with such assignment and reasonable cost of any real estate commissions and any attorneys’ fees incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment.

(b) In the case of a subletting, fifty percent (50%) of any sums or economic consideration received by Tenant as a result of such subletting shall be paid to Landlord after first deducting (i) the Rent due hereunder prorated to reflect only Rent allocable to the sublet portion of the Premises, (ii) the reasonable cost of tenant improvements made to the sublet portion of the Premises by Tenant at Tenant’s expense (without reimbursement out of any allowance provided by Landlord) for the specific benefit of the sublessee, which shall be amortized over the term of the sublease, and (iii) the reasonable cost of any real estate commissions and attorneys’ fees incurred by Tenant in connection with such subletting, which shall be amortized over the term of the sublease.

(c) Tenant shall provide Landlord with a detailed statement setting forth any sums or economic consideration Tenant either has or will derive from such Transfer, the deductions permitted under (a) and (b) of this Section 18.5, and the calculation of the amounts due Landlord under this Section 18.5. In addition, Landlord or its representative shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books and records of Tenant with respect to the calculation of the Transfer profits. If such inspection reveals that the amount paid to Landlord was incorrect, then within ten (10) days of Tenant’s receipt of the results of such audit, Tenant shall pay Landlord the deficiency and the cost of Landlord’s audit.

18.6 If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq. or any successor or substitute therefor (the “Bankruptcy Code”), any and all monies or other consideration payable or otherwise to be delivered in connection with such assignment shall be paid or delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord, and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the estate of Tenant within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any such monies or other consideration not paid or delivered to Landlord shall be held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and shall be promptly paid or delivered to Landlord. Any person or entity to whom this Lease is so assigned shall be deemed, without further act or deed, to have assumed all of the remaining obligations arising under this Lease as of the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall, upon demand therefor, execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption.

18.7 [Intentionally Omitted]

18.8 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may undergo a deemed Transfer due to a transfer of its stock as described in Section 18.2(ii) (in which case, Tenant shall be deemed the “Transferee” as described below) or Transfer all or part of its interest in this Lease or all or part of the Premises (a “Permitted Transfer”) to the following types of entities (a “Permitted Transferee”) without the written consent of Landlord and without payment of any sums under Section 18.5: (a) any parent, subsidiary or affiliate corporation which Controls (as defined below), is Controlled by or is under common Control with Tenant (collectively, an “Affiliate”); (b) any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity in which or with which Tenant, an Affiliate of Tenant, or their respective corporate successors or assigns, is merged or consolidated, in accordance with applicable statutory provisions governing merger and consolidation of business entities, so long as in both cases (a) and (b), (i) Tenant’s obligations hereunder are assumed by the Permitted Transferee; and (ii) the Permitted Transferee satisfies the Net Worth Threshold as of the effective date of the Permitted Transfer; or (c) any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity which acquires all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets and/or ownership interests, if the Transferee satisfies the Net Worth Threshold as of the effective date of the Transfer. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of any such Permitted Transfer. Tenant shall remain liable for the performance of all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, or if Tenant no longer exists because of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition, the surviving or acquiring entity shall expressly assume in writing, the obligations of Tenant hereunder. Additionally, the Permitted Transferee shall comply with all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, whether accruing prior to and/or from and after the consummation of the Transfer. No later than ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any Permitted Transfer, Tenant agrees to furnish Landlord with (1) copies of the instrument effecting any of the foregoing Transfers, (2) documentation establishing Tenant’s satisfaction of the requirements set forth above applicable to any such Transfer, and (3) evidence of insurance as required under this Lease with respect to the Permitted Transferee. The occurrence of a Permitted Transfer shall not waive Landlord’s rights as to any subsequent Transfers. As used herein, the term “Net Worth Threshold” shall mean the proposed Permitted Transferee has a tangible net worth equal to or greater than that of Tenant immediately prior to such transaction (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and excluding from the determination of total assets all assets which would be classified as intangible assets under generally accepted accounting principles, including, without limitation, goodwill, licenses, trademarks, trade names, copyrights and franchises), and as evidenced by financial statements audited by a certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Landlord. The term “Control” shall mean the possession of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policy of such corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by statute or by contract, and whether directly or indirectly through Affiliates.

ARTICLE 19.

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

19.1 If the Premises or Building should be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give immediate written notice to Landlord. If the Premises or any common areas of the Building or Project serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 19, restore the base, shell, and core of the Premises and such common areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the base, shell, and core of the Premises and common areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Project, or the lessor of a ground or underlying lease with respect to the Project and/or the Building, or any other modifications to the common areas deemed desirable by Landlord, provided access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or common areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Tax Share of Taxes, during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof; provided, however, if the damage or destruction was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s employees, contractors, licensees, subtenants or invitees, such abatement shall occur only to the extent rental abatement insurance proceeds are received by Landlord (or would have been received by Landlord if Landlord had carried rental abatement insurance with a coverage period of twelve months).

19.2 Within sixty (60) days following the date of discovery of the damage, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written estimate from Landlord’s contractor of the time needed to rebuild and/or restore the Premises and/or the Building (the “Restoration Notice”). Notwithstanding the terms of Section 19.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises, the Building and/or any other portion of the Project and instead terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of Landlord’s discovery of such damage (the “Damage Discovery Date”), such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant ninety (90) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days of the Damage Discovery Date (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Project or ground or underlying lessor with respect to the Project and/or the Building shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground or underlying lease, as the case may be; or (iii) the damage is not fully covered (except for deductible amounts in the case of a casualty other than earthquake or flood) by Landlord’s insurance policies; provided, however, that Landlord shall not have the right to terminate this Lease if the damage to the Building is relatively minor (e.g., repair or restoration would cost less than five percent (5%) of

 

-35-


the replacement cost of the Building) or Landlord actually intends to restore the damage in the following one hundred eighty (180) day period. In addition, if the Premises or the Building is destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 19, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant of the exercise of such option within thirty (30) days after the Damage Discovery Date, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such notice. Upon any such termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 19.2, Tenant shall pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent, properly apportioned up to such date of termination, and both parties hereto shall thereafter be freed and discharged of all further obligations hereunder, except as provided for in provisions of this Lease which by their terms survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

19.3 If there is an occurrence of any damage to the Premises that does not result in the termination of this Lease pursuant to this Article 19, then upon notice (the “Landlord Repair Notice”) to Tenant from Landlord, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required under Sections 13.2(e)(ii) and (iii) above with respect to any improvements in the Premises required to be insured by Tenant hereunder (excluding proceeds for Tenant’s Property), and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the Tenant Improvements, alterations and the Original Improvements installed in the Premises and shall return such Tenant Improvements, alterations and Original Improvements to their original condition; provided that if the cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the sum of (A) amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, plus (B) any insurance proceeds received by Landlord with respect to such Tenant Improvements, alterations and Original Improvements (it being acknowledged and agreed that Tenant’s insurance as to the Tenant Improvements, Alterations and Original Improvements is primary in nature and Landlord’s insurance, if any, with respect to same is secondary in nature), the cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord’s commencement of repair of the damage. Tenant may elect to make reasonable value-engineering modifications to the plans for the restoration work to the extent necessary to minimize or eliminate any costs in excess of the insurance proceeds available for such restoration, except to the extent such shortfall of insurance proceeds is due to Tenant’s failure to carry the insurance Tenant is obligated to carry under this Lease or to any deductible under such insurance policy Tenant carries or is obligated to carry under this Lease. In the event that Landlord does not deliver the Landlord Repair Notice within forty-five (45) days following the Damage Discovery Date, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair any injury or damage to the Tenant Improvements, alterations, and the Original Improvements installed in the Premises and shall return such Tenant Improvements, alterations, and Original Improvements to their original condition. Whether or not Landlord delivers a Landlord Repair Notice, prior to the commencement of construction, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work.

19.4 If (i) Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord’s termination right as provided hereinabove, (ii) the damage constitutes a Tenant Damage Event (as defined below, and either (a) the repairs cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s contractor, be completed within two hundred ten (210) days after the date of the casualty, or (b) the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term and will

 

-36-


reasonably require in excess of ninety (90) days to repair, Tenant may elect, no earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of the damage and not later than ninety (90) days after the date of such damage (or within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Restoration Notice, if later), to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in the notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given by Tenant (prior to which Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Rent as provided in Section 19.1). In the event of a Tenant Damage Event, and if the Lease does not terminate pursuant to the other provisions of this Article 19, then if Landlord fails to substantially complete the repair of such damage comprising a Tenant Damage Event on or before the date (the “Outside Restoration Completion Date”) which is one (1) month after the date estimated for completion of such repair by landlord’s contractor in the Restoration Notice, then Tenant shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Outside Restoration Completion Date, to terminate this Lease (“Tenant’s Second Termination Option”). The Outside Restoration Completion Date shall be extended by delays in the completion of the repair of the damage comprising a Tenant Damage Event to the extent caused by Force Majeure Events (other than the casualty that caused the damage) for up to thirty (30) days or by Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors. If Tenant exercises Tenant’s Second Termination Option, the Lease shall terminate as of a date specified in Tenant’s termination notice which is not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after Tenant’s notice to Landlord of the exercise of Tenant’s Second Termination Option. As used herein, a “Tenant Damage Event” shall mean damage to all or any part of the Premises or any Common Areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises by fire or other casualty, which damage (A) is not the result of the willful misconduct of Tenant or any of Tenant’s agents, employees or contractors, and (B) substantially interferes with Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises.

19.5 In the event this Lease is terminated in accordance with the terms of this Article 19, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required under Sections 13.2(e)(ii) and (iii).

19.6 The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 19, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to damage to, or destruction of, all or any portion of the Premises or the Project, and any statute or regulation of the State of California, including without limitation Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties (and any other statute or regulation now or hereafter in effect with respect to such rights or obligations), shall have no application to this Lease or to any damage or destruction to all or any portion of the Premises or the Project.

ARTICLE 20.

CONDEMNATION

20.1 If all of the Premises is condemned by eminent domain, inversely condemned or sold under threat of condemnation for any public or quasi-public use or purpose (“Condemned”), this Lease shall terminate as of the earlier of the date the condemning authority takes title to or possession of the Premises, and Rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination.

 

-37-


20.2 If any portion of the Premises or Building is condemned and such partial condemnation materially impairs Tenant’s ability to use the Premises for Tenant’s business as reasonably determined by Landlord, Landlord shall have the option in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion of either (i) relocating Tenant at Landlord’s cost to comparable space within the Project that is reasonably acceptable to Tenant or (ii) terminate this Lease as of the earlier of the date title vests in the condemning authority or as of the date an order of immediate possession is issued and Rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination. If such partial condemnation does not materially impair Tenant’s ability to use the Premises for the business of Tenant, Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises to the extent of any condemnation proceeds recovered by Landlord, excluding the portion thereof lost in such condemnation, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect except that after the date of such title vesting or order of immediate possession Rent shall be equitably adjusted as reasonably determined by Landlord.

20.3 If the Premises are wholly or partially condemned, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award paid for such condemnation, and Tenant waives any claim to any part of the award from Landlord or the condemning authority; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to recover from the condemning authority such compensation as may be separately awarded to Tenant in connection with costs in removing Tenant’s merchandise, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment to a new location and all Tenant’s relocation costs. No condemnation of any kind shall be construed to constitute an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant or a breach of any express or implied covenant of quiet enjoyment. Tenant hereby waives the effect of Sections 1265.120 and 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

20.4 In the event of a temporary condemnation lasting one hundred eighty (180) days or less not extending beyond the Term, this Lease shall remain in effect, Tenant shall continue to pay Rent and Tenant shall receive any award made for such condemnation except damages to any of Landlord’s property. If a temporary condemnation is for more than one hundred eighty (180) days or a period which extends beyond the Term, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of initial occupancy by the condemning authority and any such award shall be distributed in accordance with the preceding section.

ARTICLE 21.

HOLD HARMLESS

21.1 Tenant agrees to defend, with counsel approved by Landlord, all actions against Landlord, any member, partner, trustee, stockholder, officer, director, employee, or beneficiary of Landlord (collectively, “Landlord Parties”), holders of mortgages secured by the Premises or the Project and any other party having an interest therein (collectively with Landlord Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) with respect to, and to pay, protect, indemnify, and save harmless, to the extent permitted by law, all Indemnified Parties from and against, any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), causes of action, suits, claims, demands, or judgments of any nature to which any Indemnified Party is subject because of its estate or interest in the Premises or the Project arising from (a) injury to or death of any person, or damage to or loss of property on the Premises, the Project, on adjoining sidewalks, streets or ways, that is in any of the foregoing cases, connected with the use, condition, or occupancy of the Premises, except to the extent, if any, caused by the

 

-38-


negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, contractors or agents or Landlord’s violation of this Lease, (b) any violation of this Lease by or attributable to Tenant, or (c) subject to Section 13.4, any act, fault, omission, or other misconduct of Tenant or its agents, contractors, licensees, sublessees, or invitees. Tenant hereby releases the Indemnified Parties from any and all such claims for any damage or injury to the fullest extent permitted by law.

21.2 Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant, its agents, employees, or invitees for fatal or non-fatal bodily injury or property damage occasioned by the acts or omissions of any other tenant, or such other tenant’s agents, employees, licensees, or invitees, of the Project. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for losses due to theft, burglary, or damages done by persons on the Project.

ARTICLE 22.

DEFAULT BY TENANT

22.1 The term “Event of Default” refers to the occurrence of any one (1) or more of the following:

(a) Failure of Tenant to pay when due any sum required to be paid hereunder within five (5) days of receipt of written notice from Landlord (the “Monetary Default”); provided, however, that after the first failure to pay any sum required to be paid hereunder in any twelve (12) month period, in the event that Tenant fails a second time to pay when due any sum required to be paid hereunder during such twelve (12) month period, such failure shall be deemed to automatically constitute a Monetary Default without any obligation on Landlord to provide any additional written notice, and provided further that Tenant acknowledges that any such written notice provided hereunder shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice to pay rent or quit pursuant to any applicable statutes;

(b) Failure of Tenant, after thirty (30) days written notice thereof, to perform any of Tenant’s obligations, covenants, or agreements except a Monetary Default, provided that if the cure of any such failure is not reasonably susceptible of performance within such thirty (30) day period, then an Event of Default of Tenant shall not be deemed to have occurred so long as Tenant has promptly commenced and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion;

(c) Tenant, or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease (the “Guarantor”), admits in writing that it cannot meet its obligations as they become due; or is declared insolvent according to any law; or assignment of Tenant’s or Guarantor’s property is made for the benefit of creditors; or a receiver or trustee is appointed for Tenant or Guarantor or its property; or the interest of Tenant or Guarantor under this Lease is levied on under execution or other legal process; or any petition is filed by or against Tenant or Guarantor to declare Tenant bankrupt or to delay, reduce, or modify Tenant’s debts or obligations; or any petition filed or other action taken to reorganize or modify Tenant’s or Guarantor’s capital structure if Tenant is a corporation or other entity. Any such levy, execution, legal process, or petition filed against Tenant or Guarantor shall not constitute a breach of this Lease provided Tenant or Guarantor shall vigorously contest the same by appropriate proceedings and shall remove or vacate the same within ninety (90) days from the date of its creation, service, or filing;

 

-39-


(d) The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant;

(e) The discovery by Landlord that any financial statement given by Tenant or any of its assignees, subtenants, successors-in-interest, or Guarantors was materially false; or

(f) If Tenant or any Guarantor shall die, cease to exist as a corporation or partnership (subject to Section 18.8), or be otherwise dissolved or liquidated, or shall make a transfer in fraud of creditors.

22.2 In the event of any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord, at its option, may pursue one or more of the following remedies without notice or demand in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for at law or in equity:

(a) Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and effect, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession, and Landlord shall have the right to collect Rent when due.

“The lessor has the remedy described in Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue the lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign subject only to reasonable limitations).”

(b) Landlord may terminate the Lease at any time by giving written notice to that effect. No act by Landlord other than giving written notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord. 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. On termination, Landlord shall have the right to remove all personal property of Tenant and store it at Tenant’s cost and to recover from Tenant as damages: (i) the worth at the time of award of unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable which had been earned at the time of termination; plus (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable which would have been payable after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of the Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the Rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord, with respect to (B)-(D) to the extent reasonably proportionate to the remaining Lease Term: (A) in retaking possession of the Premises, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs

 

-40-


therefor; (B) maintaining or preserving the Premises for reletting to a new tenant, including repairs or alterations to the Premises for the reletting; (C) leasing commissions; (D) any other costs necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises; and (E) at Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by the laws of the State of California.

The “worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in Sections 22.2(b)(i) and 22.2(b)(ii) shall be calculated by allowing interest at the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, on the unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable from the termination date through the date of award. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in Section 22.2(b)(iii) shall be calculated by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award, plus one percent (1%). Tenant waives redemption or relief from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179, or under any other present or future law, if Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any Event of Default by Tenant.

22.3 If Landlord shall exercise any one or more remedies hereunder granted or otherwise available, it shall not be deemed to be an acceptance or surrender of the Premises by Tenant whether by agreement or by operation of law; it is understood that such surrender can be effected only by the written agreement of Landlord and Tenant.

22.4 Each right and remedy provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, including, but not limited to, suits for injunctive relief and specific performance. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Landlord for any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at or in equity or by statute or otherwise. All such rights and remedies shall be considered cumulative and non-exclusive. All costs incurred by Landlord in connection with collecting any Rent or other amounts and damages owing by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, or to enforce any provision of this Lease, including reasonable attorneys’ fees from the date such matter is turned over to an attorney, whether or not one or more actions are commenced by Landlord, shall also be recoverable by Landlord from Tenant, subject to Article 25. If any notice and grace period required under subparagraphs 22.1(a) or (b) was not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit, as the case may be, given to Tenant under any statute authorizing the forfeiture of leases for unlawful detainer shall also constitute the applicable notice for grace period purposes required by subparagraphs 22.1(a) or (b). In such case, the applicable grace period under subparagraphs 22.1(a) or (b) and under the unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently after the one such statutory notice, and the failure of Tenant to cure the default within the greater of the two (2) such grace periods shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and an Event of Default entitling Landlord to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute.

 

-41-


22.5 If Tenant should fail to make any payment or cure any default hereunder within the time herein permitted and such failure constitutes an Event of Default (except in the case where if Landlord in good faith believes that action prior to the expiration of any cure period under Section 22.1 is necessary to prevent damage to persons or property, in which case Landlord may act without waiting for such cure period to expire), Landlord, without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby waiving such default, may make such payment and/or remedy such default for the account of Tenant (and enter the Premises for such purpose), and thereupon, Tenant shall be obligated and hereby agrees to pay Landlord, upon demand, all reasonable costs, expenses, and disbursements, plus ten percent (10%) overhead cost incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.

22.6 Intentionally Omitted.

22.7 Nothing contained in this Article 22 shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and obtain as damages in any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, or dissolution proceeding, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law governing such a proceeding and in effect at the time when such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal, or less than the amounts recoverable, either as damages or Rent, referred to in any of the preceding provisions of this Article 22. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article to the contrary, any such proceeding or action involving bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or appointment of a receiver or trustee, as set forth above, shall be considered to be an Event of Default only when such proceeding, action, or remedy shall be taken or brought by or against the then holder of the leasehold estate under this Lease.

22.8 Landlord is entitled to accept, receive, in check or money order, and deposit any payment made by Tenant for any reason or purpose or in any amount whatsoever, and apply them at Landlord’s option to any obligation of Tenant, and such amounts shall not constitute payment of any amount owed, except that to which Landlord has applied them. No endorsement or statement on any check or letter of Tenant shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction or recognized for any purpose whatsoever. The acceptance of any such check or payment shall be without prejudice to Landlord’s rights to recover any and all amounts owed by Tenant hereunder and shall not be deemed to cure any other default nor prejudice Landlord’s rights to pursue any other available remedy, Landlord’s acceptance of partial payment of Rent does not constitute a waiver of any rights, including without limitation any right Landlord may have to recover possession of the Premises.

22.9 In the event that Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises is terminated prior to the end of the initial Term by reason of an Event of Default by Tenant, then immediately upon such termination, an amount shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord equal to the unamortized portion as of that date (which amortization shall be based on an interest rate of eleven percent (11%) per annum and the number of months of unexpired Lease term) of the sum of (a) the cost of Landlord’s Work (if any), (b) the Allowance (if any), (c) the value of any free Base Rent (i.e., the Base Rent stated in this Lease to be abated as an inducement to Tenant’s entering into this Lease) enjoyed as of that date by Tenant, and (d) the amount of all commissions paid by Landlord in order to procure this Lease (collectively, the “Inducements”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be entitled to recover such unamortized portions of the Inducements as provided in this Section 22.9 if, following an uncured default under this Lease by Tenant, Landlord elects to pursue its remedy against Tenant pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.4, or if Landlord recovers the discounted present value of all

 

-42-


rent payable for the entire term of the Lease pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.2. To the extent Landlord recovers the discounted present value of some, but not all, of the rent payable following the termination of this Lease resulting from Tenant’s default, the number of months of such rent so recovered by Landlord shall be subtracted from the “number of months of unexpired lease term” in the formula set forth above.

22.10 Tenant waives the right to terminate this Lease on Landlord’s default under this Lease. Tenant’s sole remedy on Landlord’s default is an action for damages or injunctive or declaratory relief. Landlord’s failure to perform any of its obligations under this Lease shall constitute a default by Landlord under this Lease if the failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice of the failure from Tenant to Landlord. If the required performance cannot be completed within thirty (30) days, Landlord’s failure to perform shall constitute a default under the Lease unless Landlord undertakes to cure the failure within thirty (30) days and diligently and continuously attempts to complete this cure as soon as reasonably possible. All obligations of each party hereunder shall be construed as covenants, not conditions.

This post-judgment award of attorneys’ fees and costs provision shall be severable from any other provision of this Lease and shall survive any judgment/award on such suit or arbitration and is not to be deemed merged into the judgment/award or terminated with the Lease.

ARTICLE 26.

NON-WAIVER

26.1 Neither acceptance of any payment by Landlord from Tenant nor, failure by Landlord to complain of any action, non-action, or default of Tenant shall constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights hereunder. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every obligation of each party under this Lease in which time of performance is a factor. Waiver by either party of any right or remedy arising in connection with any default of the other party shall not constitute a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy arising in connection with either a subsequent default of the same obligation or any other default. No right or remedy of either party hereunder or covenant, duty, or obligation of any party hereunder shall be deemed waived by the other party unless such waiver is in writing, signed by the other party or the other party’s duly authorized agent.

ARTICLE 27.

RULES AND REGULATIONS

27.1 Such reasonable rules and regulations applying to all lessees in the Project for the safety, care, and cleanliness of the Project and the preservation of good order thereon are hereby made a part hereof as Exhibit D, and Tenant agrees to comply with all such rules and regulations. Landlord shall have the right at all times to change such rules and regulations or to amend them in any reasonable and non-discriminatory manner as may be deemed advisable by Landlord, all of which changes and amendments shall be sent by Landlord to Tenant in writing and shall be thereafter carried out and observed by Tenant. Landlord shall not have any liability to Tenant for any failure of any other lessees of the Project to comply with such rules and regulations.

ARTICLE 28.

ASSIGNMENT BY LANDLORD; RIGHT TO LEASE

28.1 Landlord shall have the right to transfer or assign, in whole or in part, all its rights and obligations hereunder and in the Premises and the Project. In such event, no liability or obligation shall accrue or be charged to Landlord with respect to the period from and after such transfer or assignment and assumption of Landlord’s obligations by the transferee or assignee.

28.2 Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Project as Landlord in the exercise of its sole business judgment shall determine to best promote the interests of the Buildings or Project. Tenant does not rely on the fact, nor does Landlord represent, that any specific tenant or type or number of tenants shall, during the Lease Term, occupy any space in the Buildings or Project.

ARTICLE 29.

LIABILITY OF LANDLORD

29.1 It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of Landlord under this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord and its successors and assigns and any future owner of the Project only with respect to events occurring during its and their respective ownership of the Project. In addition, Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Project for recovery of any judgment against Landlord arising in connection with this Lease, it being agreed that neither Landlord nor any successor or assign of Landlord nor any future owner of the Project, nor any partner, shareholder, member, or officer of any of the foregoing shall ever be personally liable for any such judgment. The limitations of liability contained in this Section 29.1 shall inure to the benefit of Landlord’s and the Landlord Parties’ present and future partners, beneficiaries, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, agents and employees, and their respective partners, heirs, successors and assigns. Under no circumstances shall any present or future partner of Landlord (if Landlord is a partnership), or trustee or beneficiary (if Landlord or any partner of Landlord is a trust), have any liability for the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, neither Landlord nor the Landlord Parties shall be liable under any circumstances for any indirect or consequential damages or any injury or damage to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, including but not limited to, loss of profits, loss of rents or other revenues, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss of use, in each case, however occurring.

ARTICLE 30.

SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT

30.1 This Lease, at Landlord’s option, shall be subordinate to any present or future mortgage, ground lease or declaration of covenants regarding maintenance and use of any areas contained in any portion of the Building, and to any and all advances made under any present or future mortgage and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions of any or all of same. Tenant agrees, with respect to any of the foregoing documents, that no documentation other than this Lease shall be required to evidence such subordination. If any holder of a mortgage shall elect for this Lease to be superior to the lien of its mortgage and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, then this Lease shall automatically be deemed prior to such mortgage whether this Lease is dated earlier or later than the date of said mortgage or the date of recording thereof. Tenant agrees to execute such documents as may be further required to evidence such subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust, as the case may be and Tenant’s failure to do so within ten (10) days after written demand shall, if Landlord so elects, constitute an Event of Default if such failure continues more than three (3) days after Landlord’s delivery of written notice thereof. Tenant hereby attorns to all successor owners of the Building, whether or not such ownership is acquired as a result of a sale through foreclosure or otherwise. Landlord agrees to deliver to Tenant from any future mortgagee or beneficiary a written subordination and non-disturbance agreement in recordable form on the mortgagee’s or beneficiary’s then standard form providing that so long as Tenant performs all of the terms of this Lease, Tenant’s possession under this Lease shall not be disturbed, this Lease will continue and Tenant shall not be joined by the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust in any action or proceeding to foreclose thereunder, except where such is necessary for jurisdictional or procedural reasons. Landlord agrees to use commercially

 

-45-


reasonable efforts to obtain a written subordination and non-disturbance agreement from such mortgagee or beneficiary in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant; provided that Tenant shall pay all costs incurred by Landlord in obtaining that subordination and non-disturbance agreement. “Commercially reasonable efforts” of Landlord shall not require Landlord to incur any cost, expense or liability to obtain such agreement, it being agreed that Tenant shall be responsible for any fee or review costs charged by such mortgagee or beneficiary. Landlord’s failure to obtain a non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement for Tenant in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant shall have no effect on the rights, obligations and liabilities of Landlord and Tenant or be considered to be a default by Landlord hereunder.

30.2 Tenant shall, at such time or times as Landlord may request, upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written request by Landlord, sign and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E, attached hereto (or such other commercially reasonable form as may be required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Project, or any portion thereof), indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain such other information and agreements as may be reasonably requested, it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this Article may be relied upon by Landlord and by any prospective purchaser of all or any portion of the Project, or a holder or prospective holder of any mortgage encumbering the Project, or any portion thereof. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within five (5) days after Landlord’s second written request therefor shall constitute an Event of Default (as that term is defined elsewhere in this Lease) and shall conclusively be deemed to be an admission by Tenant of the matters set forth in the request for an estoppel certificate.

30.3 Tenant shall deliver to Landlord at any time upon Landlord’s request, Tenant’s current audited financial statements, including a balance sheet and profit and loss statement for the most recent prior year (collectively, the “Statements”), which Statements shall accurately and completely reflect the financial condition of Tenant. Landlord shall have the right to deliver the same to any proposed purchaser of the Building or the Project, and to any encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Building or the Project. Landlord further agrees to keep the Tenant’s financials delivered to Landlord pursuant to Section 30.3 and identified by Tenant in writing as confidential (the “Confidential Information”) in confidence for its information only and not to disclose the Confidential Information to anyone else, except (a) to the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and advisors (including attorneys, counsels, consultants and financial advisors) of Landlord; (b) as required by law; (c) to any regulators having jurisdiction over Landlord’s businesses; (d) to any purchaser or prospective purchaser of Landlord’s property in which Tenant is a tenant or subtenant and any lender holding a lien secured by such property; (e) in connection with any litigation between Tenant on the one hand and Landlord on the other; and (f) to any investor or pension fund for which Landlord holds title to the property; provided that Landlord requires in writing that the parties in subparts (a), (d) and (f) hold such information confidentially. Landlord agrees not to use such information for any other purposes unless it shall have first entered into a further written agreement with Tenant relating to that other use of the Confidential Information proposed by the Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be free to use any of the following information obtained lawfully from others: (i) information which is, at the time of disclosure, in the public domain; (ii) information which, after disclosure, enters the public domain, except where such entry is the result of a breach of this Lease; (iii) information which, prior to the disclosure, was

 

-46-


already known to Landlord; and; (iv) information which is rightfully received by Landlord from a third party. The provisions of this Section 30.3 with respect to confidentiality supersede any prior confidentiality or nondisclosure agreements executed for the benefit of Tenant or its affiliates by on or behalf of the Landlord or any of its members.

30.4 The Statements are represented and warranted by Tenant to be correct and to accurately and fully reflect Tenant’s true financial condition as of the date thereof.

30.5 Landlord represents that, as of the date of this Lease, there is no (a) deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Project or (b) ground lease affecting the Building.

ARTICLE 31.

HOLDING OVER

31.1 In the event Tenant, or any party claiming under Tenant, retains possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date or Termination Date, such possession shall be that of a tenant at sufferance and an unlawful detainer. No tenancy or interest shall result from such possession, and such parties shall be subject to immediate eviction and removal. Tenant or any such party shall pay Landlord, as Base Rent for the period of such holdover, a monthly amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of (a) the Base Rent for the last period prior to the date of such termination, plus (b) Additional Rent attributable to Operating Expenses and Taxes as provided in Article 5 of this Lease during the time of holdover, together with all other Additional Rent and other amounts payable pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Such tenancy at sufferance shall be subject to every other applicable term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Tenant shall also be liable for any and all damages sustained by Landlord as a result of such holdover. Tenant shall vacate the Premises and deliver same to Landlord immediately upon Tenant’s receipt of notice from Landlord to so vacate. The Rent during such holdover period shall be payable to Landlord on demand. Landlord’s acceptance of Rent if and after Tenant holds over shall not convert Tenant’s tenancy at sufferance to any other form of tenancy or result in a renewal or extension of the Term of this Lease, unless otherwise specified by notice from Landlord to Tenant.

ARTICLE 32.

SIGNS

32.1 No sign, symbol, or identifying marks shall be put upon the Project, Building, in the halls, elevators, staircases, entrances, parking areas, or upon the doors or walls, without the prior written approval of Landlord in its sole discretion. Should such approval ever be granted, all signs or lettering shall conform in all respects to the sign and/or lettering criteria established by Landlord and comply with all Applicable Laws. Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, reserves the right to change the door plaques as Landlord deems reasonably desirable.

32.2 Landlord shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, install standard signage at the entrance to the Premises, and one line of signage (the “Monument Signage”) on the Building monument sign and at the top of the Building (the “Building-top Signage”) identifying Tenant’s name. The graphics, materials, color, design, lettering, size and specifications of

 

-47-


Tenant’s Monument Signage and Building-top Signage shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord and all applicable governmental authorities and shall conform to Landlord’s approved sign plan for the Building. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or termination of Tenant’s sign rights as provided below, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, cause the Monument Signage and Building-top Signage to be removed and the area of the monument sign and top of the Building affected by the Monument Signage and Building-top Signage, as applicable, to be restored to the condition existing prior to the installation of Tenant’s Monument Signage and Building-top Signage. The right to Monument Signage and Building-top Signage is personal to the initially named Tenant in this Lease and any Permitted Transferee of the Original Tenant who is an assignee of that Original Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease. To the extent Tenant desires to change the name and/or logo set forth on the Monument Signage and/or Building-top Signage, such name and/or logo shall not have a name which relates to an entity which is of a character or reputation, or is associated with a political faction or orientation, which is inconsistent with the quality of the Project, or which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of the Comparable Buildings. All of Tenant’s rights to install and maintain the Building-top Signage at the top of the Building in accordance with this Section 32.2 shall terminate upon notice from Landlord during any period in which Tenant or a Permitted Transferee ceases to occupy at least one entire floor of the Building.

32.3 Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall provide Tenant with Building standard lobby and suite signage.

ARTICLE 33.

As used herein, “Tenant Parties” means Tenant and the agents, contractors, employees, subtenants, licensees and invitees of Tenant. Without limitation of the foregoing, if Tenant causes or permits the presence of any Hazardous Material on the Premises (other than due to subsurface migration from sources outside the Premises) and the same results in any contamination, release or discharge, Tenant shall promptly, at its sole expense, take any and all necessary actions to return the Premises to the conditions existing prior to the presence of any such Hazardous Material on the Premises. Tenant shall first obtain Landlord’s approval for any such remedial action. Furthermore, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any inquiry, test, investigation or enforcement proceeding by or against Tenant or the Project concerning the presence of any Hazardous Material of which Tenant receives notice. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord, at Landlord’s election, shall have the sole right, at Tenant’s expense, to negotiate, defend, approve and appeal any action taken or order issued by any governmental authority with regard to any Hazardous Material contamination for which Tenant is obligated hereunder.

33.2 Any storage, use or handling by Tenant at the Premises of any Hazardous Materials other than the Permitted Hazardous Materials shall be subject to the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent of Landlord shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord; provided they are reasonable in quantity and ancillary to Tenant’s permitted use of the Premises. . Tenant agrees that Landlord shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in withholding consent to an additional Hazardous Material if the same Hazardous Material is then located in the soil or groundwater of the Project. In the event that at any time on or after the date of this Lease Tenant wishes to use, store and/or handle within the Premises any Hazardous Materials other than the Permitted Hazardous Materials, then Tenant shall give prompt notice therefore to Landlord, which notice from Tenant to Landlord shall include a request for the written consent of Landlord.

Tenant acknowledges that other tenants of the Project and the tenants of the other buildings, their employees and invitees, may be given the right to park at the Project. Landlord reserves the right to change any existing or future parking area, roads, or driveways, or increase or decrease the size thereof and make any repairs or alterations it deems necessary to the parking area, roads and driveways and Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s parking in the course of such repairs or alterations.

Any riser or risers to supply Tenant’s electrical requirements upon written request of Tenant shall be installed by Landlord at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, if, in Landlord’s sole judgment, the same are necessary and will not cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition or entail excess or unreasonable alterations, repairs or expense or interfere with or disrupt other tenants or occupants.

(a) “Fair Market Rental Value” means the annual amount per square foot that a willing tenant would pay and a willing landlord would accept in arm’s length negotiations, without any additional inducements, for a lease of the applicable space on the applicable terms and conditions for the applicable period of time. Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined by Landlord considering the most recent new direct leases (and market renewals and extensions, if applicable) in the Building and in Comparable Buildings in the Market Area.

(i) Rental abatement concessions, if any, being granted to tenants in connection with the comparable space;

(ii) Tenant improvements or allowances provided or to be provided for the comparable space, taking into account the value of the existing improvements in the Premises, based on the age, quality, and layout of the improvements.

(c) If in determining the Fair Market Rental Value the parties determine that the economic terms of leases of comparable space include a tenant improvement allowance, Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole option, elect to do the following:

(i) Grant some or all of the value of the tenant improvement allowance as an allowance for the refurbishment of the Premises; and

(ii) reduce the Base Rent component of the Fair Market Rental Value to be an effective rental rate that takes into consideration the total dollar value of that portion of the tenant improvement allowance that Landlord has elected not to grant to Tenant (in which case that portion of the tenant improvement allowance evidenced in the effective rental rate shall not be granted to Tenant).

51.3 Determination of Fair Market Rental Value. The determination of Fair Market Rental Value shall be as provided in this Section 51.3.

(ii) One Determination. If Landlord or Tenant fails to make a determination of the Fair Market Rental Value within the five-day period, that failure shall be conclusively considered to be that party’s approval of the Fair Market Rental Value submitted within the five-day period by the other party.

(c) Arbitration. If both parties make timely individual determinations of the Fair Market Rental Value under subsection (b), the Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined by arbitration under this subsection (c).

(i) Scope of Arbitration. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited to the sole issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Rental Value is the closest to the actual Fair Market Rental Value as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of Section 51.2.

(ii) Qualifications of Arbitrator(s). The arbitrators must be licensed real estate brokers who have been active in the leasing of commercial multi-story properties in the Market Area over the five-year period ending on the date of their appointment as arbitrator(s).

If each party timely appoints an arbitrator, the two (2) arbitrators shall, within ten (10) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, agree on and appoint a third arbitrator (who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth above for qualification of the initial two (2) arbitrators) and provide notice to Landlord and Tenant of the arbitrator’s name and business address.

(v) Arbitrators’ Decision. Within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third arbitrator, the three (3) arbitrators shall decide whether the parties will use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Rental Value and shall notify Landlord and Tenant of their decision. The decision of the majority the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant.

 

-63-

If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date, the arbitrator timely appointed by one of them shall reach a decision and notify Landlord and Tenant of that decision within thirty (30) days after the arbitrator’s appointment. The arbitrator’s decision shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant.

(vii) If Only Two Arbitrators Are Appointed. If each party appoints an arbitrator in a timely manner, but the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree on and appoint a third arbitrator within the required period, the arbitrators shall be dismissed without delay and the issue of Fair Market Rental Value shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the real estate arbitration rules of JAMS, subject to the provisions of this section.

(viii) If No Arbitrator Is Appointed. If Landlord and Tenant each fail to appoint an arbitrator in a timely manner, the matter to be decided shall be submitted without delay to binding arbitration under the real estate arbitration rules of JAMS subject the provisions of this Section 51.3(c).

ARTICLE 54.

TENANT’S RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

54.1 As used herein, “Offer Space” means space on the first floor of the Building. Landlord shall from time to time give Tenant a written notice (the “Availability Notice”) identifying the particular Offer Space (the “Specific Offer Space”) that is Available (as defined below) or that Landlord believes will become Available within ninety (90) days. As used herein, “Available” means that the space (i) is not part of the Premises, and (ii) is not then subject to a lease; provided, however, Landlord’s obligations shall not apply if the current tenant thereof has an option to extend that it wishes to (or has the right to) exercise.

54.2 If Landlord determines that any Specific Offer Space is Available or will become Available within ninety (90) days, Landlord shall endeavor to within twenty (20) business days thereafter deliver to Tenant an Availability Notice identifying the Specific Offer Space that is Available or will become Available within ninety (90) days; provided that in any event Landlord shall give such Availability Notice before entry into a lease of the Specific Offer Space with a third party.

54.3 The location and configuration of the Specific Offer Space shall be determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion; provided that Landlord shall have no obligations to designate Specific Offer Space that would result in any space not included in the Specific Offer Space being not Configured For Leasing (as defined below). For purposes of this Lease, “Configured For Leasing” means the applicable space must have convenient access to the central corridor on the applicable floor and must have a size and configuration that complies with all applicable building codes and other laws and is such that Landlord judges, in its reasonable discretion, that Landlord will be able to lease such space to a third party. The Availability Notice shall:

(a) Describe the particular Specific Offer Space (including rentable area, usable area and location);

(b) Describe the particular Specific Offer Space (including rentable area, usable area and location);

 

-65-


(c) State the date (the “Specific Offer Space Delivery Date”) the space will be available for delivery to Tenant;

(d) Specify the Base Rent for the Specific Offer Space;

(e) Specify the increase in the security deposit that will apply to reflect the addition of the Specific Offer Space to the Premises; and

(f) If the Specific Offer Space Delivery Date is after the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, specify the length of the term of the leasing of the Specific Offer Space that will be available (the “Specific Offer Space Term”).

54.4 If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant’s rights set forth in this Article 54 with respect to the Specific Offer Space, then within five (5) business days of delivery of the Availability Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver irrevocable notice to Landlord (the “First Offer Exercise Notice”) offering to lease the Specific Offer Space on the terms and conditions as may be specified by Landlord in the Availability Notice.

54.5 In the event Tenant fails to give a First Offer Exercise Notice in response to any Availability Notice, Tenant’s rights under this Article 54 shall terminate with respect to that Availability Notice and Landlord shall be free to lease that Specific Offer Space to anyone on any terms at any time during the Term, without any obligation to provide Tenant with any further right to lease that space; provided, however, that (A) if the net present value of the economic terms of Landlord’s proposed lease to such third party are more than ten percent (10%) more favorable to the third party (determined using an eight percent (8%) discount rate) than the net present value of the economic terms proposed by Landlord in the Availability Notice (determined using an eight percent (8%) discount rate), then before entering into such third party lease Landlord shall notify Tenant of such materially more favorable economic terms and Tenant shall have the right to lease the Specific Offer Space upon such materially more favorable economic terms by delivering written notice thereof to Landlord within five (5) business days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice; and (B) if Landlord does not enter into a lease or leases pertaining to the entire Specific Offer Space identified by Landlord in such Availability Notice within twelve (12) months after the date Landlord first delivered such Availability Notice to Tenant, then Landlord shall submit to Tenant a new Availability Notice with respect to the unleased portion of such Specific Offer Space that is Available prior to the first time after such 12-month period that Landlord intends to submit to a third party, in which event the foregoing procedures shall again apply following Tenant’s receipt of such new Availability Notice. Tenant’s right of first offer shall be continuous during the Term of this Lease and any extension thereof. Tenant’s rejection of any particular offer shall not relieve Landlord of its obligation to again offer any Offer Space to Tenant at any time that the Offer Space subsequently becomes Available after expiration of the 12-month period provided for this Section 54.5, if applicable.

54.6 If Tenant timely and validly gives the First Offer Exercise Notice, then beginning on the Specific Offer Space Delivery Date and continuing (i) if the Specific Offer Space Delivery Date is on or before the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, for the balance of the Term (including any extensions), or (ii) if the Specific Offer Space Delivery Date is after the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, for the Specific Offer Space Term:

 

-66-


(a) The Specific Offer Space shall be part of the Premises under this Lease (so that the term “Premises” in this Lease shall refer to the space in the Premises immediately before the Specific Offer Space Delivery Date plus the Specific Offer Space);

(b) Tenant’s Building Percentage and Tenant’s Common Area Building Percentage shall be adjusted to reflect the increased rentable area of the Premises;

(c) Base Rent for the Specific Offer Space shall be as specified in the Availability Notice;

(d) The security deposit Tenant must provide shall be increased by the amounts specified in the Availability Notice;

(e) Tenant’s lease of the Specific Offer Space shall be on the same terms and conditions as affect the original Premises from time to time, except as otherwise provided in this section. Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent with respect to the Specific Offer Space shall begin on the later of the Specific Offer Space Delivery Date and the date Landlord actually delivers the Specific Offer Space in the condition required under this Lease. The Specific Offer Space shall be leased to Tenant in its “as-is” condition and Landlord shall not be required to construct improvements in, or contribute any tenant improvement allowance for, the Specific Offer Space except as set forth in the Availability Notice. Tenant’s construction of any improvements in the Specific Offer Space shall comply with the terms of this Lease concerning alterations; and

(f) If requested by Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall confirm in writing the addition of the Specific Offer Space to the Premises on the terms and conditions set forth in this section, but Tenant’s failure to execute or deliver such written confirmation shall not affect the enforceability of the First Offer Exercise Notice.

54.7 Tenant’s rights and Landlord’s obligations under this Article 54 are expressly subject to and conditioned upon there not existing an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, either at the time of delivery of the First Offer Exercise Notice or at the time the Specific Offer Space is to be added to the Premises.

54.8 It is understood and agreed that Tenant’s rights under this Article 54 are personal to Tenant and any Permitted Transferee who is an assignee of Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease and not transferable. In the event of any assignment of this Lease or subletting of all of the Premises or more than twenty-five percent (25%) thereof (other than to a Permitted Transferee), this expansion right shall automatically terminate and shall thereafter be null and void.

ARTICLE 55.

TENANT’S ROOFTOP RIGHTS

55.1 Right to Install and Maintain Rooftop Equipment. During the Term and subject to the terms of this Article 55, Tenant may install on the roof of the Building telecommunications antennae, microwave dishes or other communication equipment, as necessary for the operation of Tenant’s business within the Premises, including any cabling or wiring necessary to connect this rooftop equipment to the Premises (collectively, the “Rooftop Equipment”). If Tenant wishes to install any Rooftop Equipment, Tenant shall first notify Landlord in writing, which notice shall fully describe the Rooftop Equipment, including, without limitation, its purpose, weight, size and desired location on the roof of the Building and its intended method of connection to the Premises. All of Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment must be located within a total aggregate area not to exceed 4 square feet, at locations reasonably approved by Landlord prior to any installation. Landlord hereby consents to the installation of Rooftop Equipment consisting of one (1) antennae and/or satellite dishes (the “Initial Rooftop Equipment”). Landlord also reserves the right to restrict the number and size of dishes, antennae and other Rooftop Equipment in addition to the Initial Rooftop Equipment installed on the roof of the Building in its sole discretion.

55.2 Additional Charges for Rooftop Equipment. Tenant will be solely responsible, at Tenant’s sole expense, for the installation, maintenance, repair and removal of the Rooftop Equipment, and Tenant shall at all times maintain the Rooftop Equipment in good condition and repair. Landlord agrees that the Tenant hereunder shall not pay any rental charge for Tenant’s use of the rooftop pursuant to the terms of this Article 55 for the Initial Rooftop Equipment, provided, however, if Tenant seeks to use rooftop space for Rooftop Equipment in addition to the Initial Rooftop Equipment, Landlord reserves the right to impose a charge for such use, which shall be consistent with market rates.

55.3 Conditions of Installation. The installation of the Rooftop Equipment shall constitute an alteration and shall be performed in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Article 15 of this Lease. Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to the installation, maintenance and operation of Rooftop Equipment at the Building (including, without limitation, all construction rules and regulations) and will pay all costs and expenses relating to such Rooftop Equipment, including the cost of obtaining and maintaining any necessary permits or approvals for the installation, operation and maintenance thereof in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. The installation, operation and maintenance of the Rooftop Equipment at the Building shall not adversely affect the structure or operating systems of the Building or the business operations of any other tenant or occupant at the Building. All of the provisions of this Lease respecting Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall apply to the installation, use and maintenance of the Rooftop Equipment, including without limitation provisions relating to compliance with requirements as to insurance, indemnity, repairs and maintenance. Tenant may install cabling and wiring through the Building interior conduits, risers, and pathways of the Building in accordance with Article 52 in order to connect Rooftop Equipment with the Premises.

 

-68-


55.4 Non-Exclusive Right. Tenant’s right to install and maintain Rooftop Equipment is non-exclusive and is subject to termination or revocation as set forth herein, including pursuant to Section 22.2(b) of this Lease. Landlord shall be entitled to all revenue from use of the roof other than revenue from the Rooftop Equipment installed by Tenant. Subject to the terms set forth below in this Section 55.4, Landlord at its election may require the relocation, reconfiguration or removal of the Rooftop Equipment, if in Landlord’s reasonable judgment the Rooftop Equipment is interfering with the use of the rooftop for Building operations (including without limitation maintenance, repairs and replacements of the roof) or the business operations of other tenants or occupants of the Building, causing damage to the Building or if Tenant otherwise fails to comply with the terms of this Article 55. If relocation or reconfiguration becomes necessary due to the interference difficulties set forth above, Landlord and Tenant will reasonably cooperate in good faith to agree upon an alternative location or configuration that will permit the operation of the Rooftop Equipment for Tenant’s business at the Premises without interfering with other operations at the Building or communications uses of other tenants or occupants. If removal is required due to any breach or default by Tenant under the terms of this Article 55, Tenant shall remove the Rooftop Equipment upon thirty (30) days’ written notice from Landlord. Any relocation, removal or reconfiguration of the Rooftop Equipment as provided above shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. In addition to the other rights of relocation and removal as set forth herein, Landlord reserves the right to require relocation of Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment at any time at its election at Landlord’s cost (but not more frequently than once during the Term) so long as Tenant is able to continue operating its Rooftop Equipment in substantially the same manner as it was operated prior to its relocation. In connection with any relocation of Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment at the request of or required by Landlord (other than in the case of a default by Tenant hereunder), Landlord shall provide Tenant with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the required relocation and will conduct the relocation in a commercially reasonable manner and in such a way that will, to the extent reasonably possible, prevent interference with the normal operation of Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment. In connection with any relocation, Landlord further agrees to work with Tenant in good faith to relocate Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment to a location that will permit its normal operation for Tenant’s business operations. Landlord acknowledges that relocation of Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment may be disruptive to Tenant’s business and, without limiting its rights to require such removal, confirms that it will not exercise its rights hereunder in a bad faith manner or for the purpose of harassing or causing a hardship to Tenant.

55.5 Costs and Expenses. If Tenant fails to comply with the terms of this Article 55 within thirty (30) days following written notice by Landlord (or such longer period as may be reasonably required to comply so long as Tenant is diligently attempting to comply), Landlord may take such action as may be necessary to comply with these requirements. In such event, Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord to effect any such maintenance, removal or other compliance subject to the terms of this Article 55, including interest on all such amounts incurred at the Agreed Rate, accruing from the date which is ten (10) days after the date of Landlord’s demand until the date paid in full by Tenant, with all such amounts being Additional Rent under this Lease.

55.6 Indemnification; Removal. Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord, its partners, agents, officers, directors, employees and representatives from and against any and all liability, expense, loss or damage of any kind or nature from any suits, claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of Tenant’s installation, operation, maintenance, repair, relocation or removal of the Rooftop Equipment, except to the extent any such liability,

 

-69-


expense, loss or damage results from the negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord or its agents, partners, officers, directors, employees, contractors or representatives or Landlord’s violation of this Lease. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant may and, upon request by Landlord, shall remove all of the Rooftop Equipment, including any wiring or cabling relating thereto, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and will repair at Tenant’s cost any damage resulting from such removal. If Landlord does not require such removal, any Rooftop Equipment remaining at the Building after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease which is not removed by Tenant shall be deemed abandoned and shall become the property of Landlord.

55.7 Roof Access; Rules and Regulations. Subject to compliance with the construction rules for the Building and Landlord’s reasonable and nondiscriminatory rules and regulations regarding access to the roof and, upon receipt of Landlord’s prior written consent to such activity (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Tenant and its representatives shall have access to and the right to go upon the roof of the Building, on a seven (7) day per week, twenty-four (24) hour basis, to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this Article 55. Tenant acknowledges that, except in the case of an emergency or when a Building engineer is not made available to Tenant in sufficient time to allow Tenant to avoid or minimize interruption of use of the Rooftop Equipment, advance notice is required and a Building engineer must accompany all persons gaining access to the rooftop. Tenant may install Rooftop Equipment at the Building only in connection with its business operations at the Premises, and may not lease or license any rights or equipment to third parties or allow the use of any rooftop equipment by any party other than Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation or warranty as to Tenant’s ability to operate Rooftop Equipment at the Building and Tenant acknowledges that other equipment installations and other structures and activities at or around the Building may result in interference with Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment. Except as set forth in this Article 55, Landlord shall have no obligation to prevent, minimize or in any way limit or control any existing or future interference with Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment.

ARTICLE 56.

GENERATOR

56.1 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, Tenant shall have the right to install in such location adjacent to the Building as Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably and mutually agree, at Tenant’s sole expense, one back-up generator and related fuel storage, cabling and equipment (collectively, a “UPS”) to provide uninterrupted power to certain equipment in the Premises, provided that the UPS (i) does not adversely affect the safety of the Building or any warranty relating to the Building or adversely affect in any material respect any structural component of the Building, (ii) does not adversely affect any electrical, mechanical or any other system of the Building or the functioning thereof; (iii) does not interfere with the operation of the Building or the provision of services or utilities to the Building; (iv) complies with all Applicable Laws, and (v) is otherwise approved by Landlord in writing (which approval shall not be unreasonably, withheld, conditioned or delayed), including approval by Landlord of the exact location, type, style, dimensions, weight, plans and installation procedures for the UPS and the characteristics and type of fuel powering such UPS. Prior to the installation of the UPS by Tenant: (i) Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s approval of the contractor which shall undertake such installation; (ii) Tenant shall obtain all permits and governmental approvals required for the

 

-70-


installation of the UPS; (iii) Tenant and the contractor approved by Landlord to undertake such installation shall obtain such insurance coverages as Landlord may reasonably require and, if requested by Landlord, cause Landlord to be named as an insured under such insurance policies; and (iv) Tenant shall submit to Landlord for approval in its reasonable discretion, plans for the installation of the UPS, prepared by qualified engineers, showing all aesthetic, structural, mechanical and electrical details of the UPS, as well as all associated conduit and related equipment, all in accordance with all Applicable Laws, including without limitation all Environmental Requirements. Tenant shall ensure that the UPS does not interfere with any other equipment serving the Building or any portion thereof. At Tenant’s sole cost, the UPS shall be fully screened from view and sound in a manner directed by Landlord which may include without limitation the installation of an additional screening wall and sound baffling. Throughout the Term, Tenant shall (A) ensure that the UPS complies with all Applicable Laws, including any Environmental Requirements; (B) cause engineers, including environmental engineers, acceptable to Landlord to inspect the UPS at least twice yearly to insure that such equipment is functioning properly and that no Hazardous Materials are emanating therefrom; (C) maintain the UPS in good order and repair; (D) maintain insurance coverages with respect thereto as are required by Landlord from time to time; and (E) maintain all permits and governmental approvals necessary for the operation of the UPS. Tenant shall immediately report to Landlord if Tenant determines that the UPS is not functioning properly, is leaking or is in violation of any Applicable Laws. At the end of the Term, if requested by Landlord, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall remove the UPS and restore the area in which it was located to its condition immediately prior to the installation of the UPS. Tenant shall obtain at Tenant’s expense all permits and governmental approvals necessary for such removal.

ARTICLE 57.

LETTER OF CREDIT

57.1 Letter of Credit. Tenant may elect to provide, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a Letter of Credit (as defined below) in the Letter of Credit Required Amount (as defined below) as additional security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of all of the provisions of the Lease, on the terms and conditions set forth below. Tenant’s election to provide the Letter of Credit must be made by delivering to Landlord the Letter of Credit upon Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease (the “Letter of Credit Election”). The use, application or retention of the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by the Lease or by law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit and the Letter of Credit shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. As used herein the term “Letter of Credit Required Amount” initially means $802,449.54. Subject to the remaining terms of this Article 57, and provided the Reduction Conditions (as defined in Section 4.3) have been satisfied at the particular reduction effective date, Tenant shall have the right to reduce the Letter of Credit Required Amount so that the new Letter of Credit Required Amount shall be $401,224.77 effective as of the first day of the later of the forty-sixth (401) month of the Term or the month following the date Tenant meets the Reduction Conditions. If Tenant is entitled to a reduction in the Letter of Credit Required Amount, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice requesting that the Letter of Credit Required Amount be reduced as provided above (the “Letter of Credit Reduction Notice”). If Tenant provides Landlord with a Letter of Credit Reduction Notice, and Tenant is entitled to

 

-71-


reduce the Letter of Credit Required Amount as provided herein, the reduction shall be effectuated by Tenant replacing the Letter of Credit then being held by Landlord with a new Letter of Credit in the new Letter of Credit Required Amount or amending the then-existing Letter of Credit to that new Letter of Credit Required Amount.

57.2 Delivery of Letter of Credit. If Tenant makes the Letter of Credit Election, (a) Tenant shall cause a Letter of Credit, in the amount of the Letter of Credit Required Amount to be issued by the L/C Bank (as defined below) in favor of Landlord, and its successors, assigns and transferees; (b) Tenant will cause the Letter of Credit to remain in full force and effect during the entire Term and thereafter until sixty (60) days after expiration or earlier termination of the Lease; and (c) the initial Letter of Credit will be delivered to Landlord upon the execution and delivery of this Lease by Tenant. So long as no event of default then exists, Landlord shall return the Letter of Credit to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date. The specific requirements for the Letter of Credit and the rights of Landlord to make draws thereon will be as set forth in this Article 57. If Tenant makes the Letter of Credit Election, all of Tenant’s rights and all of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease are strictly contingent on Tenant’s delivering and thereafter causing the Letter of Credit to remain in full force and effect during the entire Term.

57.3 Draws on the Letter of Credit. Immediately upon, and at any time or from time to time after, the occurrence of any one or more Draw Events (as defined below), Landlord will have the unconditional right to draw on the Letter of Credit in accordance with this Article 57. Upon the payment to Landlord of the Draw Proceeds, Landlord will hold the Draw Proceeds in its own name and for its own account, without liability for interest, to use and apply any and all of the Draw Proceeds only (a) to cure any Event of Default by Tenant; (b) to pay any other sum to which Landlord becomes obligated by reason of Tenant’s failure to carry out its obligations under this Lease; or (c) to compensate Landlord for any monetary loss or damage which Landlord suffers thereby arising from Tenant’s failure to carry out its obligations under this Lease. In addition, if the Draw Event is the failure of Tenant to renew the Letter of Credit as required hereunder, then Landlord shall be entitled to draw the entire Letter of Credit as a cash security deposit, held as a pledge under the California Uniform Commercial Code to secure Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Among other things, it is expressly understood that the Draw Proceeds will not be considered an advance payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent or a measure of Landlord’s damages resulting from any Event of Default hereunder (past, present or future). Further, immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any one or more Draw Events, Landlord may, from time to time and without prejudice to any other remedy, use the Draw Proceeds (whether from a contemporaneous or prior draw on the Letter of Credit) to the extent necessary to make good any arrearages of Base Rent or Additional Rent, to pay to Landlord any and all amounts to which Landlord is entitled in connection with the pursuit of any one or more of its remedies hereunder, and to compensate Landlord for any and all other damage, injury, expense or liability caused to Landlord by any and all such Events of Default. Any delays in Landlord’s draw on the Letter of Credit or in Landlord’s use of the Draw Proceeds as provided in this Article 57 will not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any of its rights hereunder with respect to the Letter of Credit or the Draw Proceeds. Following any such application of the Draw Proceeds, Tenant will either pay to Landlord on demand the cash amount so applied in order to restore the Draw Proceeds to the full amount thereof immediately prior to such application or cause the Letter of Credit to be replenished to its full amount thereunder.

 

-72-


Failure to either pay that cash amount or cause the Letter of Credit to be replenished to its full amount thereunder within three (3) days after that application of the Draw Proceeds shall constitute an Event of Default without the right to any notice or cure period. Landlord will not be liable for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages incurred by Tenant arising from a claim that Landlord violated the bankruptcy code’s automatic stay in connection with any draw by Landlord of any Draw Proceeds, Landlord’s liability (if any) under such circumstances being limited to the reimbursement of direct costs as and to the extent expressly provided in this Section 57.3. Nothing in this Lease or in the Letter of Credit will confer upon Tenant any property rights or interests in any Draw Proceeds; provided, however, that upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and so long as there then exist no Draw Events or Events of Default hereunder, Landlord agrees to return of any remaining unapplied balance of the Draw Proceeds then held by Landlord to Tenant, and the Letter of Credit itself (if and to the extent not previously drawn in full) to the L/C Bank. Landlord may draw on the Letter of Credit and/or apply any Security Deposit in any order.

57.4 Applicable Definitions.

Draw Event means each of the following events:

(a) the occurrence of any one or more of the following which shall have also been preceded, simultaneously accompanied, or succeeded by an Event of Default under this Lease regardless of the absence of any notice of default which might otherwise be required with respect to an Event of Default if the giving of notice to Tenant about such breach by Tenant is stayed or barred due to one of the following events: (i) Tenant’s filing of a petition under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency statute now existing or hereafter enacted, or Tenant’s making a general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors, (ii) the filing of an involuntary petition under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency statute now existing or hereafter enacted, or the filing of a petition for adjudication of bankruptcy or for reorganization or rearrangement, by or against Tenant and such filing not being dismissed within sixty (60) days, (iii) the entry of an order for relief under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency statute now existing or hereafter enacted, (iv) the appointment of a custodian, as such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code (or of an equivalent thereto under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency statute now existing or hereafter enacted), for Tenant, or the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease and possession not being restored to Tenant within sixty (60) days, or (v) the subjection of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease to attachment, execution or other judicial seizure and such subjection not being discharged within sixty (60) days;

(b) the failure of Tenant, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the stated expiration date of the Letter of Credit then in effect, to cause an extension, renewal or replacement issuance of the Letter of Credit, to be effected, which extension, renewal or replacement issuance will be made by the L/C Bank, will otherwise meet all of the requirements of the initial Letter of Credit hereunder, which failure will be an Event of Default under this Lease;

 

-73-


(c) the failure of Tenant to make when due any payment of Base Rent, of any monthly installment of any Additional Rent, or pay any other monetary obligation within five (5) days after the amount is due.

(d) the payment by Landlord of any sum to cure a failure by Tenant to comply with any non-monetary obligation hereunder which Tenant has not cured within thirty (30) days after notice thereof by Landlord (or, if Landlord is prevented from giving notice by application of the bankruptcy code’s automatic stay, the payment of Landlord of any sum to cure a failure by Tenant to comply with any non-monetary obligation hereunder that Tenant has not cured within thirty (30) days from the date of the breach).

Draw Proceeds means the proceeds of any draw or draws made by Landlord under the Letter of Credit, together with any and all interest accruing thereon.

L/C Bank means any United States bank which is approved by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion. Landlord hereby approves of Silicon Valley Bank as the L/C Bank.

Letter of Credit means that certain one-year irrevocable letter of credit, in the Letter of Credit Required Amount, issued by the L/C Bank, as required under Section 57.2 and, if applicable, as extended, renewed, replaced or modified from time to time in accordance with this Lease, which letter of credit will be transferable and in substantially the same form as attached Exhibit J.

57.5 Transfer of Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit shall not be mortgaged, assigned or encumbered in any manner whatsoever by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to transfer or mortgage its interest in the Premises and the Building and in this Lease and Tenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer or mortgage, Landlord shall have the right to transfer or assign the Letter of Credit and/or the Draw Proceeds to the transferee or mortgagee, and in such event, Tenant shall look solely to such transferee or mortgagee for return of the Letter of Credit and/or the Draw Proceeds so transferred. Tenant shall pay all fees and charges of the L/C Bank with respect to any transfer of the Letter of Credit. Tenant shall, within five (5) days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm Landlord’s transfer or assignment of the Letter of Credit and/or the Draw Proceeds to such transferee or mortgagee.

57.6 Letter of Credit is Not Security Deposit. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit, any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or the proceeds thereof be (i) deemed to be or treated as a security deposit within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, (ii) subject to the terms of such Section 1950.7, or (iii) intended to serve as a security deposit within the meaning of such Section 1950.7. The parties hereto (A) recite that the Letter of Credit is not intended to serve as a security deposit and such Section 1950.7 and any and all other laws, rules and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context (Security Deposit Laws) shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto and (B) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations either

 

-74-


party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent California Civil Code 1950.7 in any way: (a) is determined to be applicable to this Lease or the Letter of Credit (or any proceeds thereof); or (b) controls Landlord’s rights to draw on the Letter of Credit or apply the proceeds of the Letter of Credit to any amounts due under this Lease or any damages Landlord may suffer following termination of this Lease, then Tenant fully and irrevocably waives the benefits and protections of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, it being agreed that Landlord may recover from the Letter of Credit (or its proceeds) all of Landlord’s damages under this Lease and California law including, but not limited to, any damages accruing upon the termination of this Lease in accordance with this Lease and Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code.

57.7 Substitute Letter of Credit. In the event the L/C Bank is declared insolvent by the FDIC or is closed for any reason, Tenant shall immediately provide a substitute Letter of Credit meeting the requirements of this Article 57 from another United States bank which is approved by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion.

ARTICLE 58.

REASONABLE APPROVALS

58.1 Whenever this Lease grants Landlord or Tenant a right to take action, exercise discretion, or make an allocation, judgment or other determination (collectively, an “Act”), Landlord or Tenant shall act reasonably and in good faith (meaning that no action shall be taken which would materially contravene the reasonable expectations of a sophisticated landlord operating a first-class office building and a sophisticated tenant in a first-class office building concerning the benefits and rights granted under this Lease but not contravening the plain and clear intent of the specific language of this Lease governing the specific issue in question), and shall not take any action which might result in the frustration of the reasonable expectations of a sophisticated landlord and a sophisticated tenant concerning the benefits to be enjoyed under this Lease, provided, however, that:

(a) Wherever this Lease elsewhere provides another standard which specifically defines or limits Landlord’s or Tenant’s discretion with respect to any Act, such other standard and not this Article 58 shall then control as to such Act;

(b) Nothing in this Article 58 shall require Landlord to consent to (i) any use of the Premises for purposes other than those permitted in Article 3, (ii) any alterations which would adversely affect the Building systems, any other Building occupant, or exterior of the Building, or (iii) any proposed assignment of or subletting under this Lease to which Landlord is not otherwise required to consent under Article 18;

(c) Except for an obligation to act in good faith, this Article 58 shall not apply to an election by Landlord or Tenant to terminate the Lease under Article 19 or Article 20 (but only if Landlord or Tenant (as applicable) strictly complies with the parameters for termination set forth in those Articles);

(d) This Article 58 shall not apply to an act taken by Landlord pursuant to Article 22 of the Lease; and

 

-75-


(e) Nothing contained in this Article 58 shall be deemed to limit the discretion of Landlord or Tenant with respect to any matter (including, without limitation, a proposal to amend or otherwise modify the Lease) which is not otherwise within the contemplation of the Lease.

TENANT WORK LETTER

This Tenant Work Letter (“Tenant Work Letter”) sets forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction of improvements for the Premises. All references in this Tenant Work Letter to “the Lease” shall mean the relevant portions of the Lease to which this Tenant Work Letter is attached as Exhibit C.

Section 1

BASE, SHELL AND CORE

1.1 Landlord has previously constructed the base, shell, and core (i) of the Premises and (ii) of the floor(s) of the Building on which the Premises are located (collectively, the “Base, Shell, and Core”), and Tenant shall accept the Base, Shell and Core in its current “As-Is” condition existing as of the date of the Lease and the Commencement Date. Landlord shall install in the Premises certain “Tenant Improvements” (as defined below) pursuant to the provisions of this Tenant Work Letter. Except for the Tenant Improvement work described in this Tenant Work Letter and except for the Allowance set forth below and as otherwise expressly set forth in the Lease, Landlord shall not be obligated to make or pay for any alterations or improvements to the Premises, the Building or the Project. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord covenants to correct, at its sole cost and not as an Operating Expense payable by Tenant, any failure of the exterior path of travel for the Premises to comply with current codes, including without limitation the Americans with Disabilities Act, as interpreted by Landlord’s architect as of the date of the Lease, to the extent such correction is necessary in order to obtain a building permit or a certificate of occupancy for the Tenant Improvements in the Premises for the Tenant Improvements; provided that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit Landlord from obtaining a variance or relying upon a grandfathered right in order to achieve compliance with those codes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to contest any alleged violation in good faith, including, without limitation, the right to apply for and obtain a waiver or deferment of compliance, the right to assert any and all defenses allowed by law, and the right to appeal any decisions, judgments or rulings to the fullest extent permitted by law, and Landlord’s obligation to perform work or take such other action to cure a violation under this Section shall apply after the exhaustion of any and all rights to appeal or contest.

Section 2

CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS FOR THE PREMISES

2.1 Prior to the full execution and delivery of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant have approved a detailed space plan for the construction of certain improvements in the Premises, a copy of which space plan is attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 (the “Final Space Plan”). Based upon and in conformity with the Final Space Plan, Landlord shall cause its architect and engineers to prepare and deliver to Tenant, for Tenant’s approval, detailed specifications and engineered

 

Exhibit C

-1-


working drawings for the tenant improvements shown on the Final Space Plan (the “Working Drawings”). The Working Drawings shall incorporate modifications to the Final Space Plan as necessary to comply with the floor load and other structural and system requirements of the Building. To the extent that the finishes and specifications are not completely set forth in the Final Space Plan for any portion of the tenant improvements depicted thereon, the actual specifications and finish work shall be in accordance with the specifications for the Building’s standard tenant improvement items, as determined by Landlord. Within three (3) business days after Tenant’s receipt of the Working Drawings, Tenant shall approve or disapprove the same, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Tenant may only disapprove the Working Drawings to the extent such Working Drawings are inconsistent with the Final Space Plan and only if Tenant delivers to Landlord, within such three (3) business days period, specific changes proposed by Tenant which are consistent with the Final Space Plan and do not constitute changes which would result in any of the circumstances described in items (i) through (iv) below. If any such revisions are timely and properly proposed by Tenant, Landlord shall cause its architect and engineers to revise the Working Drawings to incorporate such revisions and submit the same for Tenant’s approval in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and the parties shall follow the foregoing procedures for approving the Working Drawings until the same are finally approved by Landlord and Tenant. Upon Landlord’s and Tenant’s approval of the Working Drawings, the same shall be known as the “Approved Working Drawings.” The tenant improvements shown on the Approved Working Drawings shall be referred to herein as the “Tenant Improvements.” Once the Approved Working Drawings have been approved by Landlord and Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall make no changes, change orders or modifications thereto without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), but which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion if such change or modification would: (i) directly or indirectly delay the Substantial Completion of the Premises unless Tenant agrees it would be a Tenant Delay; (ii) increase the cost of designing or constructing the Tenant Improvements above the cost of the tenant improvements depicted in the Final Space Plan unless Tenant agrees to pay for such increase; (iii) be of a quality lower than the quality of the standard tenant improvement items for the Building; and/or (iv) require any changes to the Base, Shell and Core or structural improvements or systems of the Building. The Final Space Plan, Working Drawings and Approved Working Drawings shall be collectively referred to herein as, the “Construction Drawings.”

Section 3

CONSTRUCTION AND PAYMENT FOR

COSTS OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

3.1 Landlord shall cause the following contractors to bid for the construction of the Tenant Improvements: WCI, Skyline and Landmark. Following the bidding process, Tenant, in its sole discretion, shall select a general contractor from those that participated in the bidding process and shall approve such contractor’s estimate of the total cost of the Tenant Improvements (the “Cost Estimate”). Following such approval, Landlord shall cause such general contractor selected by Tenant (the “Contractor”) to (i) obtain all applicable building permits for construction of the Tenant Improvements, and (ii) construct the Tenant Improvements as depicted on the

 

Exhibit C

-2-


Approved Working Drawings, in compliance with such building permits and all applicable laws in effect at the time of construction, and in good workmanlike manner using new materials and equipment of good quality. Landlord shall pay for the cost of the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements in an amount up to, but not exceeding, $55.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises (i.e., up to $1,385,670.00, based on 25,194 rentable square feet of the Premises (the “Allowance”). The cost of the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements shall include Landlord’s construction supervision and management fee in an amount equal to the product of (i) three percent (3%) and (ii) the amount equal to the sum of the Allowance and the Over-Allowance Amount (as such term is defined below). Tenant shall pay for all costs in excess of the Allowance (“Over-Allowance Amount”), which payment shall be made to Landlord in cash within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of invoice therefor from Landlord and, in any event, prior to the date Landlord causes the Contractor to commence the actions described in the first sentence of this Section 3. In the event that after Tenant pays the Over-Allowance Amount Tenant requests any changes, change orders or modifications to the Approved Working Drawings (which Landlord approves pursuant to Section 2 above) which increase the cost to construct the Tenant Improvements in excess of the Allowance, Tenant shall pay such increased cost to Landlord immediately upon Landlord’s request therefor, and, in any event, prior to the date Landlord causes the Contractor to commence construction of the changes, change orders or modifications. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to pay for any of Tenant’s furniture, computer systems, telephone systems, equipment or other personal property which may be depicted on the Construction Drawings; such items shall be paid for by Tenant. Tenant shall not be entitled to receive in cash or as a credit against any rental or otherwise, any portion of the Allowance not used to pay for the cost of the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements. Any required structural fire proofing costs triggered by the Tenant Improvements shall be paid out of the Allowance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cost of the Tenant Improvements to be provided at Landlord’s sole expense shall include (and Tenant shall have no responsibility for and the Allowance shall not be used for) the following: (a) costs incurred due to the presence of Hazardous Materials in the Premises or the surrounding area, (b) costs due to casualty, (c) costs incurred to bring the Project into compliance with Applicable Laws, except to the extent required due to Tenant’s proposed particular use of the Premises including without limitation elements of the Tenant Improvements other than general office improvements, or (d) overtime or premium time unless it is with respect to (i) work normally done outside of business hours due to noise, dust, vibration or odors that would affect occupants of the Building or Project, (ii) work priced as overtime or premium time work as part of the Cost Estimate, or (iii) overtime or premium time work approved by Tenant.

3.2 Tenant’s Percentage. Notwithstanding the provision of Section 3.1, so long as the Tenant is the initially-named Tenant under this Lease or a Permitted Transferee thereof, Tenant may pay the Over-Allowance Amount in accordance with the following schedule: (a) an amount equal to 35% of the Over-Allowance Amount (the “Initial Construction Deposit”) shall by delivered to Landlord by the date that is the later of (i) Landlord’s execution of construction contract with the Contractor, or (ii) the date that is thirty (30) days after the receipt from Landlord of an invoice therefor together with reasonable supporting documentation; and (b) the remaining 65% of the Over-Allowance Amount shall be delivered to Landlord from time-to-time within ten (10) business days after written request of Landlord (each, a “Funding Request”) in amounts specified by Landlord in each such Funding Request. Landlord may give multiple Funding Requests. Landlord agrees that the amounts specified in each Funding Request shall be

 

Exhibit C

-3-


Landlord’s good faith estimate of Tenant’s Percentage (as defined below) of the amounts necessary to make payment to third parties for the cost of the Tenant Improvement that have been incurred or will be incurred within thirty (30) days after the date of the Funding Request. Any failure of Tenant to deliver to Landlord any portion of the Over-Allowance Amount in cash as and when due as provided above that it is not cured within three (3) business days after written notice from Landlord shall constitute an Event of Default under the Lease. The Initial Construction Deposit shall be applied to Tenant’s Percentage of the cost of the Tenant Improvements first coming due. For purposes of this Tenant Work Letter, “Tenant’s Percentage” shall be equal one (1) minus the fraction determined by dividing the amount of the Allowance by the estimated budget for the Tenant Improvements. Landlord may from time to time re-determine the Over-Allowance Amount based on any changes, change orders or modifications to the Approved Working Drawings (which Landlord approves pursuant to Section 2) which increase the cost to construct the Tenant Improvements and upon that re-determination modify Tenant’s Percentage and adjust the amount of any Funding Request (or make additional Funding Requests) such that Tenant shall pay the entire Over-Allowance Amount and Tenant’s funding of the Over-Allowance Amount at all times is equal to Tenant’s Percentage of the estimated budget for the Tenant Improvements that has been expended through that date and that will be paid to third parties for the cost of the Tenant Improvement that have been incurred or will be incurred within thirty (30) days after the date of the most recent Funding Request.

Section 4

SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION

OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

4.1 Substantial Completion. For purposes of this Lease, including for purposes of determining the Commencement Date, “Substantial Completion” of the Premises shall occur upon the completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises pursuant to the Approved Working Drawings, with the exception of any punch list items and any tenant fixtures, work-stations, built-in furniture, or equipment to be installed by Tenant.

4.2 Delay of the Substantial Completion of the Premises. If there shall be an actual delay or there are actual delays in the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements beyond February 1, 2018 as a direct, indirect, partial, or total result of any of the following (collectively, “Tenant Delays”):

4.2.1 Tenant’s failure to timely approve the Working Drawings or any other matter requiring Tenant’s approval;

4.2.2 a breach by Tenant of the terms of this Tenant Work Letter or the Lease;

4.2.3 Tenant’s request for changes in any of the Construction Drawings to the extent set forth in an approved written change order prepared by Landlord and approved by Tenant;

 

Exhibit C

-4-


4.2.4 Tenant’s requirement for materials, components, finishes or improvements which are not available in a commercially reasonable time given the estimated date of Substantial Completion of the Premises, as set forth in the Lease, or which are different from, or not included in, Landlord’s standard tenant improvement items for the Building.

4.2.5 changes to the Base, Shell and Core, structural components or structural components or systems of the Building required by the Approved Working Drawings;

4.2.6 any changes in the Construction Drawings and/or the Tenant Improvements required by applicable laws if such changes are directly attributable to Tenant’s use of the Premises or Tenant’s specialized tenant improvement(s) (as determined by Landlord); or

4.2.7 any other acts or omissions of Tenant, or its agents, or employees;

then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease and regardless of the actual date of Substantial Completion, the Commencement Date shall be deemed to be the date the Commencement Date would have occurred if no Tenant Delays, as set forth above, had occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of determining whether the Commencement Date should be so accelerated with respect to the Tenant Delays described in Sections 4.2.2 or 4.2.7 only, (i) no Tenant Delay as set forth in Sections 4.2.2 or 4.2.7 as applicable, shall be deemed to have occurred unless and until Landlord has provided notice to Tenant (which may be given by email or verbally to representatives of Tenant) (the “Tenant Delay Notice”) specifying the action or inaction by Tenant which Landlord contends constitutes the Tenant Delay pursuant to Sections 4.2.2 or 4.2.7 8, as applicable, and (ii) if such action or inaction is not cured by Tenant within one (1) business day of receipt of such Tenant Delay Notice, then a Tenant Delay pursuant to Sections 4.2.2 or 4.2.7, as applicable, as set forth in such Tenant Delay Notice, shall be deemed to have occurred commencing as of the date the Tenant Delay Notice is given.

If at any time any such person representing Tenant shall not be cooperative or shall otherwise cause or threaten to cause any such disharmony or interference, including, without limitation, labor disharmony, and Tenant fails to immediately institute and maintain corrective actions as directed by Landlord, then Landlord may revoke Tenant’s entry rights upon twenty-four (24) hours’ prior written notice to Tenant. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any such entry into and occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof by Tenant or any person or entity working for or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed to be subject to all of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Lease, excluding only the covenant to pay Rent (until the occurrence of the Commencement Date). Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any of Tenant’s work made in or about the Premises in connection with such entry or to any property placed therein prior to the Commencement Date, the same being at Tenant’s sole risk and liability. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any damage to any portion of the Premises, including the Tenant Improvement work, caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, consultants, workmen, mechanics, suppliers and invitees, subject to Section 13.4. In the event that the performance of Tenant’s work in connection with such entry causes extra costs to be incurred by Landlord or requires the use of any Building services, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for such extra costs and/or shall pay Landlord for such Building services at Landlord’s standard rates then in effect. In addition, Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and indemnify, protect and defend Landlord against any loss or damage to the Premises or Project and against injury to any persons caused by Tenant’s actions pursuant to this Section 5.1.

STANDARDS FOR UTILITIES AND SERVICES

The following Standards for Utilities and Services are in effect. Landlord reserves the right to adopt nondiscriminatory modifications and additions hereto provided that such modifications do not interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises, materially increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Tenant under the Lease:

(a) On Monday through Friday, except holidays, from 8 A.M. to 6 P.M. (and other times for a reasonable additional charge to be fixed by Landlord), ventilate the Premises and furnish air conditioning or heating on such days and hours, when in the judgment of Landlord it may be required for the comfortable occupancy of the Premises. The air conditioning system achieves maximum cooling when the window coverings are closed. Landlord shall not be responsible for room temperatures if Tenant does not keep all window coverings in the Premises closed whenever the system is in operation. Tenant agrees to cooperate fully at all times with Landlord, and to abide by all regulations and requirements which Landlord may reasonably prescribe for the proper function and protection of said air conditioning system. Tenant agrees not to connect any apparatus, device, conduit or pipe to the Building chilled and hot water air conditioning supply lines. Tenant further agrees that neither Tenant nor its servants, employees, agents, visitors, licensees or contractors shall at any time enter mechanical installations or facilities of the Building or adjust, tamper with, or touch said installations or facilities. The cost of maintenance and service calls to adjust and regulate the air conditioning system shall be charged to Tenant if the need for maintenance work results from either Tenant’s adjustment of room thermostats or Tenant’s failure to comply with its obligations under this section, including keeping window coverings closed as needed. Such work shall be charged at hourly rates equal to then current journeymen’s wages for air conditioning mechanics.

(b) Landlord reserves the right to charge Tenant for the cost to Landlord of providing such after-hours heating and air-conditioning requested by Tenant; provided such charge applies non-discriminatorily to all occupants of the Project.

(c) Landlord shall furnish to the Premises, at all times, electric current sufficient for normal office and lab use. Tenant agrees, should its electrical installation or electrical consumption be in excess of the aforesaid quantity, to reimburse Landlord monthly for the measured excess consumption at the average cost per kilowatt hour charged to the Building during the period. If a separate meter is not installed at Tenant’s cost, such excess cost will be established by an estimate agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, and if the parties fail to agree, as established by an independent licensed engineer. Said estimates to be reviewed and adjusted quarterly. Tenant agrees not to use any apparatus or device in, or upon, or about the Premises which may in any way increase the amount of such services usually furnished or supplied to said Premises, and Tenant further agrees not to connect any apparatus or device with wires, conduits or pipes, or other means by which such services are supplied, for the purpose of using additional or unusual amounts of such services without written consent of Landlord. Should Tenant use the same to excess, the refusal on the part of Tenant to pay upon demand of Landlord the amount established by Landlord for such excess charge shall constitute a breach of the obligation to pay Rent under this Lease and shall entitle Landlord to the rights therein granted for such breach. At

CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD

SAN FRANCISCO BAY REGION

ORDER NO. R2-2003-0074

UPDATED WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS

AND RESCISSION OF ORDER NO. 94-181 FOR:

WESTPORT LANDFILL

JOHN ARRILLAGA SURVIVOR’S TRUST, THE PEERY PRIVATE

INVESTMENT COMPANY, PEERY PUBLIC INVESTMENT COMPANY

REDWOOD CITY, SAN MATEO COUNTY

The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay Region, (hereinafter called the Board), finds that:

SITE OWNER AND LOCATION

 

1. The legal owners of the site are the John Arrillaga Survivor’s Trust, The Peery Private Investment Company, and the Peery Public Investment Company and are hereinafter referred to as the Dischargers. The unlined landfill site, as shown in Figure 1, is located adjacent to Belmont Slough in Redwood City. A commercial business park including twenty (20) two-story buildings and associated site improvements has been constructed at the site (Figure 2).

PURPOSE OF ORDER UPDATE

 

2. The primary purposes of this Order are 1) to update the existing Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) to reflect recent site development and current facility conditions and 2) to assure compliance with the appropriate portions of Title 27 of the California Code Of Regulations (formerly known as Chapter 15, Title 23), referred to hereinafter as Title 27. The “appropriate portions” of Title 27 are hereby defined as the relevant sections pertaining to post-closure maintenance and water quality monitoring.

SITE DESCRIPTION

 

3. The site was tidal marshlands until approximately 1910, at which time the area was diked and portions used for pastureland and for a hog farm. The landfill area was used as a refuse disposal site from about 1948 to its closing in about 1970. Disposal in the southeastern portion of the site (referred to as the Panhandle area) reportedly ceased in about 1963, while disposal in the northeastern portion of the site (the Mound area) continued until about 1970.

 

4. The Westport Landfill is a closed 45-acre unlined site located approximately one-mile east of Highway 101, and is bordered by Belmont Slough to the north and west, and by existing residential developments and Marine World Parkway to the east and south. The landfill covers the majority of two contiguous parcels that have been developed as a commercial business park called Westport Office Park.

 

Exhibit H

-2-


5. The site currently includes a commercial business park with twenty (20) two-story office and research buildings totaling approximately 968,000 leasable square feet. The site (Figure 2) is currently covered by approximately 522,000 square feet of building footprints (14.2% of entire area), 1,522,100 square feet of asphalt and concrete pavement (41.4% of entire area), and 1,631,400 square feet of landscaped area (44.4% of entire area).

REGULATORY HISTORY

 

6. On July 20, 1976 Waste Discharge Requirements were adopted for the site in Board Order No. 76-77. In that Order Parkwood 101, Limited (the previous landfill owner), was required to place “a final cover of at least four-feet of compacted inert fill material” over the waste disposal areas. Board Order No. 76¬77 was subsequently revised on October 18, 1977 by Order No. 77-134, wherein a revised time schedule was adopted for compliance with site closure specifications. Closure activities at the site included placement of additional cover material over the waste disposal areas and grading to eliminate ponding.

 

7. On December 14, 1994, the Board adopted Order No. 94-181, rescinding Order Nos. 76-77 and 77-134. Among other activities in response to the requirements of Order No. 94-181, and in conjunction with the reconstructed cap and site development, the lateral extent of refuse was determined using historical aerial photos taken throughout the operational period of the landfill and through organized trenching. Based on the results of these studies a perimeter cut-off wall was installed consisting of a vertical clay barrier with a minimum width of two-feet connecting the overlying low permeability cover layer with the underlying young Bay Mud, completing the containment envelope. The vertical extent of the refuse as depicted in various geotechnical studies was confirmed by a deep boring program and by pile driving observations.

LANDFILL HISTORY

 

8. Approximately 45 acres of the project site were used for landfill disposal of municipal solid waste and incinerator ash from about 1948 to about 1970. Approximately 650,000 cubic yards of fill material was disposed of at the site on the existing unlined Bay Mud. The waste material reportedly disposed at the site consists of non-hazardous material including: municipal solid waste, construction debris paper, glass, plastic, wood, rock fragments, and incinerator ashes.

 

9. The landfill can be divided into three areas. Refuse is present primarily in the southern and eastern portions of the site and forms two elevated areas, referred to as (1) the Mound (35 acres) in the eastern portion of the site, and (2) the Panhandle (an elongated area of 10 acres) along the southeastern property boundary. The third area (40 acres), located between the refuse fill and the levees, is a low-lying area where unplanned sporadic refuse disposal occurred. Limited refuse disposal activities occurred outside the current property boundary as indicated by small pockets of discontinuous refuse identified during the installation of underground utilities and a perimeter leachate collection system. The site’s surface soils are currently composed largely of fill that has been used to: establish a cap over the refuse fill area; to fill low-lying elevations; to construct building pads; to serve as a base for site paving; and, to provide topsoil for landscaped areas.

LANDFILL INVESTIGATIONS AND WORK

 

10. During the 1970’s several possible real estate developments were proposed and various site investigations were performed. Until Westport Office Park, no proposed project continued beyond the preliminary stage. In conjunction with the planning and design of Westport Office Park, additional site investigations were performed and substantial information was developed and recorded.

 

11. Preliminary Soil and Groundwater Investigation- 1988: In 1988, a preliminary soil and groundwater investigation was conducted by Kaldveer Associates. Kaldveer installed five monitoring wells in the western portion of the site to evaluate shallow groundwater quality adjacent to the refuse fill area.

 

12. SWAT- 1988 to 1989: In 1988 and 1989, Levine-Fricke conducted a Solid Waste Assessment Test (SWAT) to determine the landfill’s potential to have adverse effects on water quality. Levine-Fricke installed seven shallow groundwater monitoring wells outside the primary refuse areas, seven monitoring wells within the primary refuse areas, and three deeper wells.

 

13. Addendum to SWAT- 1992 and 1993: Levine-Fricke conducted groundwater monitoring activities to complete the SWAT.

 

14. Removal and Replacement of Lead-Affected Soils and Landfill Materials- 1994: Levine-Fricke investigated and remediated lead-affected soil in three locations at the site. In order to complete the removal activities, two monitoring wells were abandoned. (P-1A and P-5)

 

15. On March 2, 1994, United Soil Engineering, Inc., (USE) conducted an investigation to determine the thickness of the landfill cover. A total of 77 borings were advanced to a depth of 6 feet. USE’s investigation revealed that some portions of the landfill cover did not meet the four-foot cover requirement as specified in Order No. 76-77 and as revised by Order No. 77-134. USE’s investigations revealed that an additional one to two feet of clay or low permeability soil was required to achieve the minimum required thickness for most of the landfill cover.

 

16. Provision C.10 of WDR Order No. 94-181 required the Dischargers to reconstruct those portions of the landfill cap that did not meet the requirements of Section 2581 of Article 8, Chapter 15 (e.g., a cap containing a minimum of two feet of foundation material, one foot low permeability layer with a hydraulic conductivity of less than or equal to 10-6 cm/sec, and a one foot layer for erosion protection). The Dischargers submitted a Cap Reconstruction Plan dated February 14, 1995. The Cap Reconstruction is now complete in conformance with the Cap Reconstruction Plan.

 

Exhibit H

-4-


17. Deep Boring Program — 1995: Geomatrix performed a subsurface study to determine the physical characteristics of the soil by advancing 13 deep borings to approximately 140 feet BGS.

 

18. Additional Well Installation — 1996-1998: Geomatrix installed four new monitoring wells to provide additional monitoring points for the landfill, as required by Board Order No. 94-181. (MW3-1R, MW3-2, MW-4, and P5-1).

 

19. Ammonia Investigation — 1998: Geomatrix conducted an assessment of ammonia in soil and groundwater in the vicinity of the former pig farm and found that these conditions may not be related to the landfill. Soil and grab groundwater samples were collected from 11 borings.

 

20. Acetone Investigation — 1999: Following the detection of acetone in a groundwater sample collected during a semi-annual monitoring event, an investigation was conducted by Geomatrix to assess the lateral extent of the acetone. Grab groundwater samples were collected from borings placed in the vicinity of the well where acetone had been detected.

 

21. Concurrent with site and building approval and construction (most of which took place in the late 1990s), landfill gas (LFG) venting and monitoring systems were approved and installed and meet regulatory requirements.

SITE GEOLOGIC SETTING

 

22. The site is domed in the northeast, central, and southeast portions of the site where refuse was placed and is relatively flat in the northwest and west portions. Elevations at the site currently range from 104.5 to 133.5 feet where City of Redwood City datum 100.0 equals mean sea level. The fill at the site overlies estuarine deposits referred to as Bay Mud. The Bay Mud deposits surround San Francisco Bay and generally consist of very low permeability plastic silty clays with high organic content. Stiff to very stiff sandy clay/clayey sand has been encountered below the Bay Mud extending to a depth of approximately 200 feet below ground surface (bgs). It has been reported that a moderately permeable sequence of clay, sand, and gravel underlies the stiff clays, beginning at a depth of 200 feet bgs. Franciscan bedrock was reported to exist at a depth of approximately 300 feet bgs along the western side of the site and 500 feet bgs along the eastern side of the site.

SITE HYDROGEOLOGIC SETTING

 

23. Hydrogeologic investigations have shown that, within the former landfill, the groundwater movement is radially away from the Mound area (eastern portion of site). As part of corrective action at the site groundwater collection trenches were installed along the northern and southeastern margins of the Mound and the Panhandle to assist with containment and removal of leachate-impacted groundwater adjacent to the primary refuse disposal areas.

 

Exhibit H

-5-


24. The direction of deeper groundwater flow cannot be established with a high level of certainty because of the relatively discontinuous nature of the water bearing zones in the low permeability clay layer beneath the younger Bay Mud. However, it has been reported that regional hydrogeologic conditions suggest that deeper groundwater flows in an easterly direction towards San Francisco Bay.

 

25. Comparisons of shallow and deep groundwater levels have indicated the existence of both upward and downward vertical hydraulic gradients across the site.

 

26. Confined regional aquifer zones of moderate permeability are present at a depth of approximately 190 to 200 feet bgs. These aquifer zones are an extension of the major artesian basin of the south Bay and Santa Clara Valley and consists chiefly of unconsolidated Quaternary Alluvium.

GROUND WATER CONTAMINATION AND WATER QUALITY

 

27. Groundwater within the landfill refuse has been shown to contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and ammonia.

 

28. Shallow and deep groundwater around the perimeter and/or beneath the landfill, outside the refuse limit, has had sporadic detections of low levels of VOCs and SVOCs at the following maximum concentrations: benzene at 7.2 micrograms per liter (p.g/L), ethyl-benzene at 5 1.tg/L, acetone at 120 µg/L, toluene at 6µg2, trichloroethylene at 33 j.tg/L, carbon tetra-chloride at 5 µg/L, 1,1,1-trichloroethane at 7 gg/L, chloroform at 1 4-methyl-2-pentanone at 43 pg/L, phenol at 54 µg/L, bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate at 81 µg/L. Elevated concentrations of ammonia are present along the western edge of the landfill where a pig farm operated during the 1940’s and 1950’s and is the suspected ammonia source.

LEACHATE COLLECTION AND REMOVAL SYSTEM (LCRS)

 

29. The leachate collection system at the site was expanded and upgraded in 1998, concurrent with site development and consists of three groundwater collection trenches. The trenches were excavated to depths of 8 to 13 feet bgs and intercept the full thickness of the refuse-containing fill layer. The collection trenches are filled with permeable material to allow leachate to flow into perforated collection pipes. The trenches are capped with low-permeability clay. The locations of the leachate control trenches are shown in Figure 2. The northern leachate collection and removal trench is. 1,400 feet long and is fitted with a sensor-activated automatic pumping system that periodically pumps leachate from manhole No. 3 to a connection with the sanitary sewer lateral where the leachate then flows by gravity to the South Bayside System Authority (SBSA) publicly operated treatment works (POTW) plant.. The two southeastern leachate collection and removal trenches total 2,800 feet in length. To remove leachate-impacted groundwater from these trenches, sensor activated automatic pumping systems have been installed in manhole No.’s 1 and 2; leachate-impacted groundwater is automatically pumped from manhole No. 2 and from manhole No. 1 to the sanitary sewer lateral where the leachate then flows by gravity to the SBSA POTW plant.

 

Exhibit H

-6-


30. Leachate is discharged under a permit issued by the SBSA. The SBSA does random sampling and testing of the leachate discharge. All repeat test results forwarded by the SBSA have shown that the leachate discharge meets the SBSA criteria for discharge to the SBSA system without treatment.

LANDFILL GAS MANAGEMENT

 

31. Concurrently with site and building approval and construction, landfill gas (LFG) venting and monitoring systems for each building were approved and installed. A trench network was excavated under each building. A perforated high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe was embedded in rounded rock backfill in these trenches. The perforated pipes were extended beyond the building perimeter where they were manifolded together. The LFG pipe manifolds are connected to .vertical LFG vent risers that allow the LFG to be vented to, and dissipated in, the atmosphere. The LFG vent risers and their immediate vicinity are monitored at a minimum of monthly to insure that dangerous concentrations of gas do not exist.

 

32. A continuous 60 mil HDPE membrane was installed on the underside of each first floor building slab to prevent LFG penetration into each building. Each building has a system of ten LFG sensors that are continuously monitored by an offsite life safety monitoring company. The LFG sensors are calibrated quarterly. The LFG detection alarm system and the LFG sensor calibration records are inspected annually by the San Mateo County Health Services Agency.

 

33. The LCRS trenches described above also act as a LFG cut-off wall. There are 13 LFG vent risers connected to the vadose zone in the permeable material above the leachate. They serve to collect the LFG intercepted by the leachate trenches and to vent this gas to the atmosphere before the LFG migrates to the property line. These LFG vent risers are monitored and inspected not less frequently then once per month.

CURRENT AND FUTURE LAND USES

 

34. In accordance with plans submitted to, and approved by, the City of Redwood City and the San Mateo County Health Services Agency, the former landfill site has been developed, occupied, and maintained as a commercial business park.

 

35. The parcels are zoned for commercial use by the City of Redwood City. Permits for additional development and/or modifications to the existing developments may be applied for in the future.

POST CLOSURE MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE

 

36. The Dischargers submitted Utility Inspection, Maintenance, and Settlement Monitoring programs for different portions of the site to the City of Redwood City as part of the site’s post-closure activities. This program includes providing surveyed permanent benchmarks on the property, surveyed utility alignments, and detailed periodic observations and records of settlement of the water facilities and the sanitary sewer force main.

 

Exhibit H

-7-


MONITORING PROGRAMS

 

37. Title 27 requires that the Dischargers maintain a groundwater-monitoring program designed to detect the presence of waste constituents in groundwater outside of the waste management unit (WMU). The required monitoring is included in the Discharge Monitoring Program (Attachment A) and consists of a list of constituents of concern (COCs), sampling frequency, approved analytical methods, reporting requirements, the point of compliance, and an approved evaluation method to determine compliance consistent with Title 27.

 

38. Groundwater Monitoring—Board Order No. 94-181 required the Dischargers to document the installation of four additional monitoring wells to be included in the Discharge Monitoring Program (Attachment A). A report documenting completion of these wells, or their equivalent monitoring points, was submitted to the Board in a letter dated June 28, 1996. (MW3-1R, MW3-2, MW-4, and P5-1).

 

39. Groundwater Monitoring—There are 12 shallow (4 feet to 32 feet bgs) groundwater monitoring wells and piezometers at the site. These are shown on Figure 2 and include P3-R, P-7, P-8, MW-4, MW-4P, K-4, P5-1R, MW-3, MW3-2R, UPG-1, UPG-2, and K-1. There are three deeper (35 feet to 72 feet bgs,/ groundwater-monitoring wells and piezometers at the site. These are shown on Figure 2 and include DW-1, DW-2 and DW-3. Groundwater-monitoring is detailed in the Discharge Monitoring Program attached to this Order (Attachment A). The Dischargers are required to analyze according to the monitoring parameters presented in Attachment A of this Order.

 

40. Leachate Monitoring — There are 17 leachate monitoring wells/piezometers at the site. These are shown on Figure 2 and include S-2, S-3A, S-4A, S-5, P-2A, P3-PZ, P-4, P5-1-PZ, P-6, K3-R, K3-PZ, MW3-1R, PZ-2, PZ-2P, PZ-3A, PZ-3B, and PZ-3C. The Leachate Monitoring Program is detailed in the Discharge Monitoring Program attached to this Order (Attachment A).

 

41. Vadose Zone Monitoring — Vadose zone monitoring is conducted as part of the landfill gas venting and monitoring program and has been integrated into the commercial development of the site.

BASIN PLAN

 

42. The Regional Board adopted a revised Water Quality Plan for the San Francisco Bay Basin (Basin Plan) in June 21, 1995. This updated and consolidated plan represents the Board’s master water quality control planning document. The State Water Resource Control Board and the Office of the Administrative Law approved the revised Basin Plan on July 20 and November 13, respectively, of 1995. A summary of regulatory provisions is contained in Title 23 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 3912. The Basin Plan defines beneficial uses and water quality objectives for waters of the State, including surface waters and groundwater.

 

Exhibit H

-8-


43. State Board Resolution No. 89-39, “Sources of Drinking Water,” defines potential sources of drinking water to include all groundwater in the region, with limited exceptions for areas containing high TDS, high background contaminant levels, or those areas with a low-yield. Shallow and deeper (33-75 feet bgs) groundwater at the site is not considered a potential drinking water source as it exceeds electrical conductivities of 5,000 microseimens per centimeter (uS/cm). There is no current use of the site’s shallow or deep groundwater, nor any anticipated plans for its use. However, any groundwater at the site meeting Resolution 89-39 requirements of TDS concentrations below 3000 mg/L, electrical conductivities below 5,000 uS/cm, and with production yields greater that 200 gallons per day will be considered a potential drinking water source.

BENEFICIAL USES

 

44. The beneficial uses of Belmont Slough, and South San Francisco Bay as contained in the Basin Plan are as follows:

 

  a. Wildlife habitat;
  b. Brackish and salt water marshes;
  c. Water contact recreation;
  d. Non-water contact recreation;
  e. Commercial and sport fishing;
  f. Preservation of rare and endangered species;
  g. Estuarine habitat;
  h. Fish migration and spawning;
  i. Industrial process supply; and,
  j. Industrial service supply.

 

45. The present and potential beneficial uses of the groundwater are as follows:

 

  k. Domestic and municipal water supply;
  l. Freshwater replenishment; and,
  m. Agricultural supply.

STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION

 

46. Board Order No. 94-181 required the Dischargers to prepare, implement and submit a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in accordance with requirements specified in State Water Resources Control Board General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities (NPDES Permit No. CAS000001). The Dischargers prepared and submitted a SWPPP dated March 24, 1995, in accordance with requirements specified in State Water Resources Control Board General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activities (NPDES Permit No. CAS000002). The SWPPP was implemented at the site during the construction phase. The NPDES General Permit requires the Dischargers to submit annual reports. The Dischargers implemented the SWPPP and submitted annual reports. With the completion of the construction phase, the Dischargers have filed a Notice of Termination for the site.

 

Exhibit H

-9-


CONTINGENCY PLAN

 

47. Board Order No. 94-181 required the Dischargers to submit a Contingency Plan that would be implemented in the event of a leak or spill from the leachate collection facilities. An acceptable Contingency Plan was submitted to the Board on March 15, 1995. The Contingency Plan provides for immediate notice to the Board, the Local Enforcement Agency, and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control. The Contingency Plan also provides for the implementation of a corrective action plan to stop and contain the migration of pollutants from the site.

POST-EARTHQUAKE INSPECTION AND CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN

 

48. Board Order No. 94-181 required the Dischargers to submit a detailed Post-Earthquake Inspection and Corrective Action Plan to be implemented in the event of an earthquake generating ground shaking of Richter Magnitude 7 or greater at, or within 30 miles of, the landfill. The Dischargers submitted an acceptable Plan dated March 14, 1995. The Plan describes containment features and groundwater monitoring and leachate control facilities potentially impacted by the static and seismic deformations of the landfill. The Plan provides for reporting results of the post earthquake inspection to the Board within 72 hours of the occurrence of an appropriate earthquake. Immediately after an earthquake event causing damage to the landfill structures, the Plan includes the implementation of the corrective action plan and includes providing notification of any damage to the Board.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT

 

49. The Dischargers have completed a Final Environmental Impact Report, a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report, a Health Risk Assessment, and a Technical Addendum for development at the site that resulted in the filing of Notice of Determination 108639 Appendix H by the Redwood City Planning Division on March 3, 1995 stating that the findings were pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

 

50. This action is exempted from the provision of CEQA pursuant to Section 15301, Title 14, of the California Code of Regulations.

PUBLIC NOTICE

 

51. The Board has notified the Dischargers and interested agencies and persons of its intent to issue waste discharge requirements for the Dischargers and has provided them with an opportunity for a public hearing and an opportunity to submit their written views and recommendations.

PUBLIC MEETING

 

52. The Board in a public meeting heard and considered all comments pertaining to the discharge.

PART A

AND

PART B


PART A

 

A. GENERAL

Reporting responsibilities of waste dischargers are specified in Sections 13225(a), 13267(b), 13383, and 13387(b) of the California Water Code and this Regional Board’s Resolution No.73-16. This Discharge Monitoring Program is issued in accordance with Provision C.3 of Regional Board Order No. R2-2003-0074.

The principal purposes of a discharge-monitoring program are:

 

  (1) to document compliance with waste discharge requirements and prohibitions established by the Board,

 

  (2) to facilitate self-policing by the Dischargers in the prevention and abatement

 

  (3) of pollution arising from waste discharge,to develop or assist in the development of standards of performance and toxicity standards, and

 

  (4) to assist the Dischargers in complying with the requirements of Title 27.

 

B. SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL METHODS

Sample collection, storage, and analyses shall be performed according to the most recent version of EPA Standard Methods and in accordance with an approved sampling and analysis plan.

Water and waste analysis shall be performed by a laboratory approved for these analyses by the State of California. The director of the laboratory whose name appears on the certification shall supervise all analytical work in his/her laboratory and shall sign all reports of such work submitted to the Regional Board.

All monitoring instruments and equipment shall be properly calibrated and maintained to ensure accuracy of measurements.

 

C. DEFINITION OF TERMS

 

1. A grab sample is a discrete sample collected at any time.

 

2. Receiving waters refers to any surface water, which actually or potentially receives surface or groundwater which passes over, through, or under waste materials or contaminated soils. In this case, the groundwater adjacent to the landfill areas and the surface runoff from the site are considered receiving waters.

 

3. Standard observations refer to:

 

  a. Receiving Waters:

 

  1) Floating and suspended materials of waste origin: presence or absence, source, and size of affected area;


  2) Discoloration and turbidity: description of color, source, and size of affected area;

 

  3) Evidence of odors, presence or absence, characterization, source, and distance of travel from source;

 

  4) Evidence of beneficial use: presence of water associated wildlife;

 

  5) Flow rate; and,

 

  6) Weather conditions: wind direction and estimated velocity, total precipitation during the previous five days and on the day of observation.

 

  b. Perimeter of the Waste Management Unit:

 

  1) Evidence of liquid leaving or entering the waste management unit, estimated size of affected area and flow rate. (Show affected area on map);

 

  2) Evidence of odors, presence or absence, characterization, source, and distance of travel from source; and,

 

  3) Evidence of erosion and/or daylighted refuse.

 

  c. The Waste Management Unit:

 

  1) Evidence of ponded water at any point on the waste management facility;

 

  2) Evidence of odors, presence or absence, characterization, source, and distance of travel from source;

 

  3) Evidence of erosion, slope movement, ground movement, and/or daylighted refuse; and,

 

  4) Standard Analysis (SA) and measurements are listed on Part B, 1., A., Table A (attached)

 

D. SAMPLING, ANALYSIS, AND OBSERVATIONS

The Dischargers are required to perform sampling, analyses, and observations in the following media:

 

1. Groundwater per Section 20415 and

 

2. Surface water per Section 20415 and per the general requirements specified in Section 20415 of Title 27 is not required. Due to the extensive Bay Mud flats surrounding the site and the hazards associated with traversing them, sampling this medium is not feasible. Shallow groundwater is considered receiving waters at this site.


3. Vadose zone per Section 2550.7(d) which is accomplished by sampling, analyzing, and recording the landfill gas concentrations at gas vent risers located at each building and at the east and southeast boundary of the site.

 

E. RECORDS TO BE MAINTAINED

Written reports shall be maintained by the Dischargers or laboratory, and shall be retained for a minimum of five years. This period of retention shall be extended during the course of any unresolved litigation regarding this discharge or when requested by the Board. Such records shall show the following for each sample:

 

1. Identity of sample and sample station number;

 

2. Date and time of sampling;

 

3. Date and time that analyses are started and completed, and name of the personnel performing the analyses;

 

4. Complete procedure used, including method of preserving the sample, and the identity and volumes of reagents used;

 

5. Calculation of results; and,

 

6. Results of analyses, and detection limits for each analysis.

 

F. REPORTS TO BE FILED WITH THE BOARD

 

1. MONITORING REPORTS

Written discharge monitoring reports shall be filed by the 31st day of the month following the reporting period (the reporting period is specified in Part B of this program). In addition an annual report shall be filed as indicated in F.3 below. The reports shall comprise the following:

 

  a. Letter of Transmittal

A letter transmitting the essential points in each report should accompany each report. Such a letter shall include a discussion of any requirement violations found during the last report period, and actions taken or planned for correcting the violations. If the Dischargers have previously submitted a detailed time schedule for correcting requirement violations, a reference to the correspondence transmitting such schedule will be satisfactory. If no violations have occurred in the last report period this shall be stated in the letter of transmittal. Monitoring reports and the letter transmitting the monitoring reports shall be signed by a principal executive officer at the level of vice president or his duly authorized representative, if such representative is responsible for the overall operation of the facility from which the discharge originates. The letter shall contain a statement by the official, under penalty of perjury, that to the best of the signer’s knowledge the report is true, complete, and correct.


  b. Each monitoring report shall include a compliance evaluation summary. The summary shall contain:

 

  1) Concentration Limits for the Westport Landfill for all constituents of concern except ammonia, are “laboratory non-detect” based upon laboratory non-detect results for background concentrations of the listed COCs. As such, a non-statistical method is appropriate to determine whether a measurably significant release has occurred from the Westport Landfill. Therefore, any reported laboratory detection at a point of compliance monitoring well is considered a potential release. For ammonia, a statistically significant increase shall be evaluated using a statistical method acceptable to the Regional Board staff. Any potential release must be evaluated through additional monitoring and analyses acceptable to the Executive Officer.

 

  2) A graphic description of the direction of groundwater flow under/around the waste management unit, based upon the water level elevations obtained during the monitoring period and pertinent visual observations.

 

  3) The method and time of water level measurement, the type of pump used for purging, pump placement in the well; method of purging, pumping rate, equipment and methods used to monitor field pH, temperature, and conductivity during purging, calibration of the field equipment, results of pH, temperature, and conductivity testing, and the method of disposing of the purge water.

 

  4) Type of pump used, pump placement for sampling, a detailed description of the sampling procedure; number and description of equipment, field and travel blanks; number and description of duplicate samples; type of sample containers and preservatives used, the date and time of sampling, the name and qualifications of the person actually taking the samples, and any other observations.

 

  c. A map or aerial photograph shall accompany each report showing observation and monitoring station locations.

 

  d. Laboratory statements of results of analyses specified in Part B, Table A must be included in each report. The director of the laboratory whose name appears on the laboratory certification shall supervise all analytical work in his/her laboratory and shall sign all reports of such work submitted to the Board.

 

  1) The methods of analyses and detection limits must be appropriate for the expected concentrations. Specific methods of analyses must be identified. If methods other than EPA approved methods or Standard Methods are used, the exact methodology must be submitted for review and approved by the Executive Officer prior to use.


  2) In addition to the results of the analyses, laboratory quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) information must be included in the monitoring report. The laboratory QA/QC information should include the method, equipment and analytical detection limits; the recovery rates; an explanation for any recovery rate that is less than 80% of the specific laboratory recovery limits; the results of equipment and method blanks; the results of spiked and surrogate samples; the frequency of quality control analysis; and the name and qualifications of the person(s) performing the analyses.

 

  e. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the leachate monitoring or control facilities, which includes an evaluation of leachate buildup within the disposal units, a potentiometric surface map, a summary of leachate volumes removed from the units, and a discussion of the leachate disposal methods utilized.
