Section 2.04.  Holding Over.  Tenant shall vacate the Property upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for and indemnify Landlord against all damages which Landlord incurs from Tenant’s delay in vacating the Property.  If Tenant does not vacate the Property upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease and Landlord thereafter accepts rent from Tenant, Tenant’s occupancy of the Property shall be a “month-to-month” tenancy, subject to all of the terms of this Lease applicable to a month-to-month tenancy, except that the Base Rent then in effect shall be increased by twenty-five percent (25%).

 

Section 2.05.  See Addendum.

 

ARTICLE THREE:  BASE RENT

 

Section 3.01.  Time and Manner of Payment.  Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord the Base Rent in the amount stated in Paragraph 1.12(a) above for the first month of the Lease Term.  On the first day of the second month of the Lease Term and each month thereafter, Tenant shall pay Landlord the Base Rent, in advance, without offset, deduction or prior demand.  The Base Rent shall be payable at Landlord’s address or at such other place as Landlord may designate in writing.

 

Section 3.02.  Intentionally Deleted.

 

Section 3.03.  Security Deposit; Increases.

 

(a)  Upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a cash Security Deposit in the amount set forth in Section 1.10 Above.  Landlord may apply all or part of the Security Deposit to any unpaid rent or other charges due from Tenant or to cure any other defaults of Tenant.  If Landlord uses any part of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall restore the Security Deposit to its full amount within ten (1) days after Landlord’s written request.  Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material default under this Lease.  No interest shall be paid on the Security Deposit.  Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts and no trust relationship is created with respect to the Security Deposit.

 

(b)  Each time the Base Rent is increased, Tenant shall deposit additional funds with Landlord sufficient to increase the Security Deposit to an amount which bears the same relationship to the adjusted Base Rent as the initial Security Deposit bore to the initial Base Rent.

 

Section 3.04.  Termination; Advance Payments.  Upon termination of this Lease under Article Seven (Damage or Destruction), Article Eight (Condemnation) or any other termination not resulting from Tenant’s default, and after Tenant has vacated the Property in the manner required by this Lease, Landlord shall (within sixty (60) days from Tenant delivering exclusive possession of the Property to Landlord) refund to Tenant (or Tenant’s successor) the unused portion of the Security Deposit, any advance rent or other advance payments made by Tenant to Landlord, and any amounts paid for real property taxes and other reserves which apply to any time periods after termination of the Lease.

 

ARTICLE FOUR:  OTHER CHARGES PAYABLE BY TENANT

 

Section 4.01.  Additional Rent.  All charges payable by Tenant other than Base Rent are called “Additional Rent.”  Unless this Lease provides otherwise, Tenant shall pay all Additional Rent then due with the next monthly installment of Base Rent.  The term “rent” shall mean Base Rent and Additional Rent.

Section 4.02.  Property Taxes.

 

(a)  Real Property Taxes.  Tenant shall pay all real property taxes on the Property (including any fees, taxes or assessments against, or as a result of, any tenant improvements installed on the Property by or for the benefit of Tenant) during the Lease Term.  Subject to Paragraph 4.02(c) and Section 4.07 below, such payment shall be made at least ten (10) days prior to the delinquency date of the taxes.  Within such ten (10) -day period, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence that the real property taxes have been paid.  Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for any real property taxes paid by Tenant covering any period of time prior to or after the Lease Term.  If Tenant fails to pay the real property taxes when due, Landlord may pay the taxes and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the amount of such tax payment as Additional Rent.

 

(b)  Definition of “Real Property Tax.”  “Real property tax” means:  (i) any fee, license fee, license tax, business license fee, commercial rental tax, levy, charge, assessment, penalty (to the extent caused by Tenant’s acts or omissions), or tax imposed by any taxing authority against the Property; (ii) any tax on the Landlord’s right to receive, or the receipt of, rent or income from the Property or against Landlord’s business of leasing the Property; (iii) any tax or charge for fire protection, streets, sidewalks, road maintenance, refuse or other services provided to the Property by any governmental agency; (iv) any tax imposed upon this transaction or based upon a re-assessment of the Property due to a change of ownership, as defined by applicable law, or other transfer of all or part of Landlord’s interest in the Property; and (v) any charge or fee replacing any tax previously included within the definition of real property tax.  “Real property tax” does not, however, include Landlord’s federal or state income, franchise, inheritance or estate taxes.

 

(c)  Joint Assessment.  If the Property is not separately assessed, Landlord shall reasonably determine Tenant’s share of the real property tax payable by Tenant under Paragraph 4.02(a) from the assessor’s worksheets or other reasonably available information.  Tenant shall pay such share to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s written statement.

 

(d)  Personal Property Taxes.

 

(i)  Tenant shall pay all taxes charge against trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment or any other personal property belonging to Tenant.  Tenant shall try to have personal property taxed separately from the Property.

 

(ii)  If any of Tenant’s personal property is taxed with the Property, Tenant shall pay Landlord the taxes for the personal property within fifteen (15) days after Tenant receives a written statement from Landlord for such personal property taxes.

 

(e)  Tenant’s Right to Contest Taxes.  Tenant may attempt to have the assessed valuation of the Property reduced or may initiate proceedings to contest the real property taxes.  If required by law, Landlord shall join in the proceedings brought by Tenant.  However, Tenant shall pay all costs of the proceedings, including any costs or fees incurred by Landlord.  Upon the final determination of any proceeding or contest, Tenant shall immediately pay the real property taxes due, together with all costs, charges, interest and penalties incidental to the proceedings.  If Tenant does not pay the real property taxes when due and contests such taxes, Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease for nonpayment of such taxes if Tenant deposits funds with Landlord or opens an interest-bearing account reasonably acceptable to Landlord in the joint names of Landlord and Tenant.  The amount of such deposit shall be sufficient to pay the real property taxes plus a reasonable estimate of the interest, costs, charges and penalties which may accrue if Tenant’s action is unsuccessful, less any applicable tax impounds previously paid by Tenant to Landlord.  The deposit shall be applied to the real property taxes due, as determined at such proceedings.  The real property taxes shall be paid under protest from such deposit if such payment under protest is necessary to prevent the Property from being sold under a “tax sale” or similar enforcement proceeding.

 

Section 4.03.  Utilities.  Tenant shall pay, directly to the appropriate supplier, the cost of all natural gas, heat, light, power, sewer service, telephone, water, refuse disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the Property.  However, if any services or utilities are jointly metered with other property, Landlord shall make a reasonable determination of Tenant’s proportionate share of the cost of such utilities and services and Tenant shall pay such share to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s written statement.

Section 4.04.  Insurance Policies.

 

(a)  Liability Insurance.  During the Lease Term, Tenant shall maintain a policy of commercial general liability insurance (sometimes known as broad form comprehensive general liability insurance) insuring Tenant against liability for bodily injury, property damage (including loss of use of property) and personal injury arising out of the operation, use or occupancy of the Property.  Tenant shall name Landlord as an additional insured under such policy.  The initial amount of such insurance shall be Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) per occurrence and shall be subject to periodic increase based upon industry standards for similar facilities.  The liability insurance obtained by Tenant under this Paragraph 4.04(a) shall (i) be primary and non-contributing; (ii) contain cross-liability endorsements; and (iii) insure Landlord against Tenant’s performance under Section 5.05, if the matters giving rise to the indemnity under Section 5.05 result from the negligence of Tenant.  The amount and coverage of such insurance shall not limit Tenant’s liability nor relieve Tenant of any other obligation under this Lease.  Landlord may also obtain comprehensive public liability insurance in an amount and with coverage determined by Landlord insuring Landlord against liability arising out of ownership, operation, use or occupancy of the Property.  The policy obtained by Landlord shall not be contributory and shall not provide primary insurance.

 

(b)  Property and Rental Income Insurance.  During the Lease Term, Landlord shall maintain policies of insurance covering loss of or damage to the Property in the full amount of its replacement value.  Such policy shall provide protection against loss or damage due to fire or other casualties covered within the classification of fire standard extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage and any other perils which Landlord deems reasonably necessary.  Landlord shall have the right to obtain terrorism, flood and earthquake insurance and other forms of insurance as required by any lender holding a security interest in the Property.  Landlord shall not obtain insurance for Tenant’s fixtures or equipment or building improvements installed by Tenant on the Property.  During the Lease Term, Landlord shall also maintain a rental income insurance policy, with loss payable to Landlord, in an amount equal to one year’s Base Rent, plus estimated real property taxes and insurance premiums.  Tenant shall be liable for the payment of any deductible amount under Landlord’s or Tenant’s insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 4.04; provided however Landlord’s insurance deductible shall not exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000).  Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done which invalidates any such insurance policies.  Upon Tenant’s request, Landlord shall provide Tenant a certificate evidencing such insurance.

 

(c)  Payment of Premiums.  Subject to Section 4.07, Tenant shall pay all premiums for the insurance policies described in Paragraphs 4.04(a) and (b) (whether obtained by Landlord or Tenant) within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of a copy of the premium statement or other evidence of the amount due, except Landlord shall pay all premiums for non-primary comprehensive public liability insurance which Landlord elects to obtain as provided in Paragraph 4.04(a).  If insurance policies maintained by Landlord cover improvements on real property other than the Property, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the premium applicable to the Property showing in reasonable detail how Tenant’s share of the premium was computed.  If the Lease Term expires before the expiration of an insurance policy maintained by Landlord, Tenant shall be liable for Tenant’s prorated share of the insurance premiums.  Before the Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of any policy of insurance which Tenant is required to maintain under this Section 4.04.  At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such policy, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a renewal of such policy.  As an alternative to providing a policy of insurance, Tenant shall have the right to provide Landlord a certificate of insurance, executed by an authorized officer of the insurance company, showing that the insurance which Tenant is required to maintain under this Section 4.04 is in full force and effect and containing such other information which Landlord reasonably requires.

 

(d)  General Insurance Provisions.

 

(i)  Any insurance which Tenant is required to maintain under this Lease shall include a provision which requires the insurance carrier to give Landlord not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice prior to any cancellation or modification of such coverage.

 

(ii)  If Tenant fails to deliver any policy, certificate or renewal to Landlord required under this Lease within the prescribed time period or if any such policy is cancelled or modified during the Lease Term without Landlord’s consent, Landlord may obtain such insurance, in which case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such insurance within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a statement that indicates the cost of such insurance.

 

4



 

(iii)  Landlord and Tenant shall maintain all insurance required under this Lease with companies holding a “General Policy Rating” of A-12 or better, as set forth in the most current issue of “Best Key Rating Guide”.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge the insurance markets are rapidly changing and that insurance in the form and amounts described in this Section 4.04 may not be available in the future.  Tenant acknowledges that the insurance described in this Section 4.04 is for the primary benefit of Landlord.  If at any time during the Lease Term, Tenant or Landlord is unable to maintain the insurance required under the Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall nevertheless maintain insurance coverage which is customary and commercially reasonable in the insurance industry for Tenant’s type of business, as that coverage may change from time to time.  Landlord makes no representation as to the adequacy of such insurance to protect Landlord’s or Tenant’s interests.  Therefore, Tenant shall obtain any such additional property or liability insurance which Tenant deems necessary to protect Landlord and Tenant.

 

(iv)  Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any and all rights of recovery against the other, or against the officers, employees, agents or representatives of the other, for loss of or damage to its property or the property of others under its control, if such loss or damage is covered by any insurance policy in force (whether or not described in this Lease) at the time of such loss or damage.  Upon obtaining the required policies of insurance, Landlord and Tenant shall give notice to the insurance carriers of this mutual waiver of subrogation.  Landlord’s and Tenant’s insurance policies described in this Section shall contain a provision waiving the carrier’s right to subrogation.

 

Section 4.05.  Late Charges.  Tenant’s failure to pay rent promptly may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs.  The exact amount of such costs are impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain.  Such costs may include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed encumbering the Property.  Therefore, if Landlord does not receive any rent payment within ten (10) days after it becomes due, provided Landlord has given Tenant forth-eight (48) hours written notice and Tenant has still failed to pay such Base Rent (which forty-eight (48) shall run concurrently with such ten (10) day period), Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to eight percent (8%) of the overdue amount.  The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment.

 

Section 4.06.  Interest on Past Due Obligations.  Any amount owed by one party hereunder to the other which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the due date of such amount.  However, interest shall not be payable on late charges to be paid by Tenant under this Lease.  The payment of interest on such amounts shall not excuse or cure any default under this Lease.  If the interest rate specified in this Lease is higher than the rate permitted by law, the interest rate is hereby decreased to the maximum legal interest rate permitted by law.

 

Section 4.07.  Impounds for Insurance Premiums and Real Property Taxes.  If Tenant is more than ten (10) days late in the payment of Base Rent more than twice in any consecutive twelve (12) -month period, Tenant shall pay Landlord a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual real property taxes and insurance premiums payable by Tenant under this Lease, together with each payment of Base Rent.  Landlord shall hold such payments in a non-interest bearing impound account.  If unknown, Landlord shall reasonably estimate the amount of real property taxes and insurance premiums when due.  Tenant shall pay any deficiency of funds in the impound account to Landlord upon written request.  If Tenant defaults under this Lease, Landlord may apply any funds in the impound account to any obligation then due under this Lease.

 

Section 4.08.  See Addendum.

 

ARTICLE FIVE:  USE OF PROPERTY

 

Section 5.01.  Permitted Uses.  Tenant may use the Property only for the Permitted Uses set forth in Section 1.06 above.

 

Section 5.02.  Manner of Use.  Tenant shall not cause or permit the Property to be used in any way which constitutes a violation of any law, ordinance, or governmental regulation or order, which annoys or interferes with the rights of other tenants of Landlord, or which constitutes a nuisance or waste.  Tenant shall obtain and pay for all permits, including a Certificate of Occupancy, required for Tenant’s occupancy of the Property and shall promptly

See Addendum Section 5.04.

 

Section 5.05.  Indemnity.  Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against and hold Landlord harmless from any and all costs, claims or liability arising from:  (a) Tenant’s use of the Property; (b) the conduct of Tenant’s business or anything else done or permitted by Tenant to be done in or about the Property; (c) any breach or default in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; (d) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Tenant under this Lease; or (e) other acts or omissions of Tenant.  Tenant shall defend Landlord against any such cost, claim or liability at Tenant’s expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord or, at Landlord’s election, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any legal fees or costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any such claim.  As a material part of the consideration to Landlord, Tenant assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in or about the Property arising from any cause, and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord, except for any claim arising out of Landlord’s or Landlord’s employees’, agents’ or contractors’ active negligence or willful misconduct.  As used in this Section, the term “Tenant” shall include Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors and invitees, if applicable.

 

See Addendum Section 5.05.

 

Section 5.06.  Landlord’s Access.  Landlord or its agents may enter the Property at all reasonable times to show the Property to potential buyers, investors or tenants or other parties; to do any other act or to inspect and conduct tests in order to monitor Tenant’s compliance with all applicable environmental laws and all laws governing the presence and use of Hazardous Material; or for any other purpose Landlord deems necessary.  Landlord shall give Tenant 24-hour prior notice of such entry, except in the case of an emergency and Landlord agrees to allow a representative of Tenant to accompany Landlord and further agrees to comply with Tenant’s reasonable security measures.  Landlord may place customary “For Sale” or “For Lease” signs on the Property.

 

Section 5.07.  Quiet Possession.  If Tenant pays the rent and complies with all other terms of this Lease, Tenant may occupy and enjoy the Property for the full Lease Term, subject to the provisions of this Lease.

 

ARTICLE SIX:  CONDITION OF PROPERTY; MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS

 

Section 6.01.  Existing Conditions.  Subject to the provisions of this Lease, Tenant accepts the Property in its condition as of the execution of the Lease, subject to all recorded matters, laws, ordinances, and governmental regulations and orders.  Except as provided herein, Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation as to the condition of the Property or the suitability of the Property for Tenant’s intended use.  Tenant represents and warrants that Tenant has made its own inspection of and inquiry regarding the condition of the Property and is not relying on any representations of Landlord or any Broker with respect thereto.  If Landlord or Landlord’s Broker has provided a Property Information Sheet or other Disclosure Statement regarding the Property, a copy is attached as an exhibit to the Lease.

 

Section 6.02.  Exemption of Landlord from Liability.  Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or injury to the person, business (or any loss of income therefrom), goods, wares, merchandise or other property of Tenant.  Tenant’s employees, invitees, customers or any other person in or about the Property, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from:  (a) fire, steam, electricity, water, gas or rain; (b) the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures or any other cause; (c) conditions arising in or about the Property or from other sources or places; or (d) any act or omission of any other tenant of Landlord.  Landlord shall not be liable for any such damage or injury even though the cause of or the means of repairing such damage or injury are not accessible to Tenant.  The provisions of this Section 6.02 shall not, however, exempt Landlord from liability for Landlord’s or Landlord’s employees’, agents’ or contractors active negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 6.03.  Landlord’s Obligations.  See Addendum Section 6.03.

 

Section 6.04.  Tenant’s Obligations.

 

(a)  Except as provided in Section 6.03, Article Seven (Damage or Destruction) and Article Eight (Condemnation), Tenant shall keep all portions of the Property (including structural, nonstructural, interior, exterior, and landscaped areas, portions, systems and equipment) in good order, condition and repair (including interior repainting and refinishing, as needed).  If any portion of the Property or any system or equipment in the Property which Tenant is obligated to repair cannot be fully repaired or restored, Tenant shall promptly replace such portion of the Property or system or equipment in the Property, regardless of whether the benefit of such replacement extends beyond the Lease Term; but if the benefit or useful life of such replacement extends beyond the Lease Term (as such term may be extended by exercise of any options), the useful life of such replacement shall be prorated over the remaining portion of the Lease Term (as extended), and Tenant shall be liable only for that portion of the cost which is applicable to the Lease Term (as extended).  Tenant shall maintain a preventive maintenance contract providing for the regular inspection and maintenance of the heating and air conditioning system by a licensed heating and air conditioning contractor.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4.04(d)(iv), if any part of the Property is damaged by any act or omission of Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost of repairing or replacing such damaged property, whether or not Landlord would otherwise be obligated to pay the cost of maintaining or repairing such property.  It is the intention of Landlord and Tenant that at all times Tenant shall maintain the portions of the Property which Tenant is obligated to maintain in an attractive, first-class and fully operative condition.

 

(b)  Tenant shall fulfill all of Tenant’s obligations under this Section 6.04 at Tenant’s sole expense.  If Tenant fails to maintain, repair or replace the Property as required by this Section 6.04 or is not using all reasonable efforts to do so, Landlord may, upon ten (10) days’ prior notice to Tenant (except that no notice shall be required in the case of an emergency), enter the Property and perform such maintenance or repair (including replacement, as needed) on behalf of Tenant.  In such case, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred in performing such maintenance or repair immediately upon demand.

 

Section 6.05.  Alterations, Additions, and Improvements.

 

(a)  Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions, or improvements to the Property without Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld except for non-structural alterations which do not exceed Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000) in cost per project and which are not visible from the outside of any building of which the Property is part.  Landlord may require Tenant to provide demolition and/or lien and completion bonds in form and amount satisfactory to Landlord.  Tenant shall promptly remove any alterations, additions, or improvements constructed in violation of this Paragraph 6.05(a) upon Landlord’s written request.  All alterations, additions, and improvements shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformity with all applicable laws and regulations, and by a contractor approved by Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Upon completion of any such work, Tenant shall provide Landlord with “as built” plans, copies of all construction contracts, and proof of payment for all labor and materials.

 

(b)  Tenant shall pay when due all claims for labor and material furnished to or for the Tenant Group at the Property.  Tenant shall give Landlord at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the commencement of any work on the Property, regardless of whether Landlord’s consent to such work is required.  Landlord may elect to record and post notices of non-responsibility on the Property.

 

Section 6.06.  Condition upon Termination.  Upon the termination of the Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Property to Landlord, broom clean and in the same condition as received except for ordinary wear and tear which Tenant was not otherwise obligated to remedy under any provision of this Lease.  However, Tenant shall not be obligated to repair any damage which Landlord is required to repair in accordance with the Lease.  In addition, Landlord may require Tenant to remove any alterations, additions or improvements (whether or not made with Landlord’s consent) prior to the expiration of the Lease and to restore the Property to its prior condition, all at Tenant’s expense.  All alterations, additions and improvements which Landlord has not required Tenant to remove shall become Landlord’s property and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, except that Tenant may remove any of Tenant’s trade fixtures, machinery or equipment which can be removed without material damage to the Property.  Tenant shall repair, at Tenant’s expense, any damage to the Property caused by the removal of any such trade fixtures, machinery or equipment.  In no event, however, shall

Tenant remove any of the following materials or equipment (which shall be deemed Landlord’s property) without Landlord’s prior written consent; any power wiring or power panels; lighting or lighting fixtures; wall coverings; drapes, blinds or other window coverings; carpets or other floor coverings; heaters, air conditioners or any other heating or air conditioning equipment; fencing or security gates; or other similar building operating equipment and decorations.

 

See Addendum Section 6.06.

 

ARTICLE SEVEN:  DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

 

Section 7.01.  Partial Damage to Property.

 

(a)  Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing immediately upon the occurrence of any damage to the Property.  If the Property is only partially damaged (i.e., less than fifty percent (50%) of the Property is untenantable as a result of such damage or less than fifty percent (50%) of Tenant’s operations are materially impaired) and if the proceeds received by Landlord from the insurance policies described in Paragraph 4.04(b) are sufficient to pay for the necessary repairs, this Lease shall remain in effect and Landlord shall repair the damage as soon as reasonably possible.  Landlord may elect (but is not required) to repair any damage to Tenant’s fixtures, equipment, or improvements.

(c)  If the damage to the Property occurs during the last six (6) months of the Lease Term and such damage will require more than thirty (30) days to repair, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease as of the date the damage occurred, regardless of the sufficiency of any insurance proceeds.  The party electing to terminate this Lease shall give written notification to the other party of such election within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s notice to Landlord of the occurrence of the damage.

Section 7.03.  Temporary Reduction of Rent.  If the Property is destroyed or damaged and Landlord or Tenant repairs or restores the Property pursuant to the provisions of this Article Seven, any rent payable during the period of such damage, repair and/or restoration shall be reduced according to the degree, if any, to which Tenant’s use of the Property is impaired.  Except for such possible reduction in Base Rent, insurance premiums and real property taxes,

Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation, reduction, or reimbursement from Landlord as a result of any damage, destruction, repair, or restoration of or to the Property.

 

Section 7.04.  Waiver.  Tenant waives the protection of any statute, code or judicial decision which grants a tenant the right to terminate a lease in the event of the substantial or total destruction of the leased property.  Tenant agrees that the provisions of Section 7.02 above shall govern the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant in the event of any substantial or total destruction to the Property.

 

ARTICLE EIGHT:  CONDEMNATION

 

If all or any portion of the Property is taken under the power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of that power (all of which are called “Condemnation”), this Lease shall terminate as to the part taken or sold on the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever occurs first.  If more than twenty percent (20%) of the floor area of the building in which the Property is located, or which is located on the Property, is taken, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, by delivering written notice to the other within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority takes title or possession).  If neither Landlord nor Tenant terminates this Lease, this Lease shall remain in effect as to the portion of the Property not taken, except that the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in the floor area of the Property.  Any Condemnation award or payment shall be distributed in the following order:  (a) first, to any ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary under a deed of trust encumbering the Property, the amount of its interest in the Property; (b) second, to Tenant, only the amount of any award specifically designated for loss of or damage to Tenant’s trade fixtures or removable personal property; and (c) third, to Landlord, the remainder of such award, whether as compensation for reduction in the value of the leasehold, the taking of the fee, or otherwise.  If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall repair any damage to the Property caused by the Condemnation, except that Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage for which Tenant has been reimbursed by the condemning authority.  If the severance damages received by Landlord are not sufficient to pay for such repair, Landlord shall have the right to either terminate this Lease or make such repair at Landlord’s expense.

 

ARTICLE NINE:  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

Section 9.01.  Landlord’s Consent Required.  no portion of the Property or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease may be acquired by any other person or entity, whether by sale, assignment, mortgage, sublease, transfer, operation of law, or act of Tenant, without Landlord’s prior written consent, except as provided in Section 9.02 below.  Landlord has the right to grant or withhold its consent as provided in Section 9.05 below.  Any attempted transfer without consent shall be void and shall constitute a non-curable breach of this Lease.

 

Section 9.02.  Tenant Affiliate.

 

See Addendum Section 9.02.

 

Section 9.03.  No Release of Tenant.  No transfer permitted by this Article Nine, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall release Tenant or change Tenant’s primary liability to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations of Tenant under this Lease.  Landlord’s acceptance of rent from any other person is not a waiver of any provision of this Article Nine.  Consent to one transfer is not a consent to any subsequent transfer.  If Tenant’s transferee defaults under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without pursuing remedies against the transferee.  Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or modifications of this Lease by Tenant’s transferee, without notifying Tenant or obtaining its consent.  Such action shall not relieve Tenant’s liability under this Lease.

 

Section 9.04.  Offer to Terminate.  If Tenant desires to assign the Lease or sublease all of the Property, and if Landlord elects in writing to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 9.05, the Lease shall terminate as of the commencement date of a new lease between Landlord and the proposed assignee or subtenant and all the terms and provisions of the Lease governing termination shall apply.  If Landlord does not so elect, the Lease shall continue in effect until otherwise terminated and the provisions of Section 9.05 with respect to any proposed transfer shall continue to apply.

Section 9.05.  Landlord’s Consent.

 

(a)  Tenant’s request for consent to any transfer described in Section 9.01 shall set forth in writing the details of the proposed transfer, including the name, business and financial condition of the prospective transferee, financial details of the proposed transfer (e.g., the term of and the rent and security deposit payable under any proposed assignment or sublease), and any other information Landlord reasonably deems relevant.  Landlord shall have the right to elect to terminate this Lease or to withhold consent, if reasonable, or to grant consent, based on the following factors:  (i) the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant and the proposed use of the Property; (ii) the net worth and financial reputation of the proposed assignee or subtenant; and (iii) Tenant’s compliance with all of its obligations under the Lease.  If Landlord objects to a proposed assignment solely because of the net worth and/or financial reputation of the proposed assignee, Tenant may nonetheless sublease (but not assign), all or a portion of the Property to the proposed transferee, but only on the other terms of the proposed transfer.

 

(b)  If Tenant assigns or subleases, the following shall apply:

 

(i)  If Tenant assigns or subleases more than seventy percent (70%) of the building located on the Property in the aggregate, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent under the Lease the Landlord’s Share (stated in Section 1.13) of the Profit (defined below) on such transaction as and when received by Tenant, unless Landlord gives written notice to Tenant and the assignee or subtenant that Landlord’s Share shall be paid by the assignee or subtenant to Landlord directly.  The “Profit” means (A) all amounts paid to Tenant for such assignment or sublease, including “key” money, monthly rent in excess of the monthly rent payable under the Lease, and all fees and other consideration paid for the assignment or sublease, including fees under any collateral agreements, less (B) costs and expenses directly incurred by Tenant in connection with the execution and performance of such assignment or sublease for real estate broker’s commissions and costs of renovation or construction of such assignment or sublease for real estate broker’s commissions and costs of renovation or construction of tenant improvements required under such assignment or sublease.  Tenant is entitled to recover such costs and expenses before Tenant is obligated to pay the Landlord’s Share to Landlord.  The Profit in the case of a sublease of less than all the Property is the rent allocable to the subleased space as a percentage on a square footage basis.

 

(ii)  Tenant shall provide Landlord a written statement certifying all amounts to be paid from any assignment or sublease of the Property within thirty (30) days after the transaction documentation is signed, and Landlord may inspect Tenant’s relevant books and records to verify the accuracy of such statement.  On written request, Tenant shall promptly furnish to Landlord copies of all the transaction documentation, all of which shall be certified by Tenant to be complete, true and correct.  Landlord’s receipt of Landlord’s Share shall not be a consent to any further assignment or subletting.  The breach of Tenant’s obligation under this Paragraph 9.05(b) shall be a material default of the Lease.

 

Section 9.06.  No Merger.  no merger shall result from Tenant’s sublease of the Property under this Article Nine, Tenant’s surrender of this Lease or the termination of this Lease in any other manner.  In any such event, Landlord may terminate any or all subtenancies or succeed to the interest of Tenant as sublandlord under any or all subtenancies.

 

ARTICLE TEN:  DEFAULTS; REMEDIES

 

Section 10.01.  Covenants and Conditions.  Tenant’s and Landlord’s performance of each obligation under this Lease is a condition as well as a covenant.  Tenant’s right to continue in possession of the Property is conditioned upon Tenant’s performance.  Time is of the essence in the performance of all covenants and conditions.

 

Section 10.02.  Defaults.  Tenant shall be in material default under this Lease.

 

(a)  If Tenant fails to pay rent and abandons the Property or if Tenant’s vacation of the Property results in the cancellation of any insurance described in Section 4.04;

 

(b)  If Tenant fails to pay rent when due or any other charge within ten (10) days from receipt of such bill or statement from Landlord;

 

(c)  If Tenant fails to perform any of Tenant’s non-monetary obligations under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord; provided that if more than thirty (30) days are required to complete

 

10



 

such performance, Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant commences such performance within the thirty (30)–day period and thereafter diligently pursues its completion.  The notice required by this Paragraph is intended to satisfy any and all notice requirements imposed by law on Landlord and is not in addition to any such requirement.

 

(d)  (i)  If Tenant makes a general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; (ii) if a petition for adjudication of bankruptcy or for reorganization or rearrangement is filed by or against Tenant and is not dismissed within thirty (30) days; (iii) if a trustee or receiver is appointed to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Property or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease and possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (iv) if substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Property or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease is subjected to attachment, execution or other judicial seizure which is not discharged within thirty (3) days.  If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the acts described in this subparagraph (d) is not a default under this Lease, and a trustee is appointed to take possession (or if Tenant remains a debtor in possession) and such trustee or Tenant transfers Tenant’s interest hereunder, then Landlord shall receive, as Additional Rent, the excess, if any, of the rent (or any other consideration) paid in connection with such assignment or sublease over the rent payable by Tenant under this Lease.

 

(e)  If any guarantor of the Lease revokes or otherwise terminates, or purports to revoke or otherwise terminate, any guaranty of all or any potion of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease.  Unless otherwise expressly provided, no guaranty of the Lease is revocable.

 

Section 10.03.  Remedies.  On the occurrence of any material default by Tenant, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, following three (3) days written notice or demand (which may be in the form of a three (3) day notice to pay rent or quit and which time may run concurrently therewith) and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have:

 

(a)  Terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Property by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Property to Landlord.  If Tenant shall be served with a demand for the payment of past due rent or any other charge, any payments rendered thereafter to cure any default by Tenant shall be made only by cashier’s check.  In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default, including (i) the worth at the time of the award of the unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which Landlord had earned at the time of the termination; (ii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which Landlord would have earned after termination until the time of the award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves Landlord could have reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which Tenant would have paid for the balance of the Lease term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves Landlord could have reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under the Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses Landlord incurs in maintaining or preserving the Property after such default, the costs of recovering possession of the Property, expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation or alteration of the Property, Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, and any real estate commission paid or payable.  As used in subparts (i) and (ii) above, the “worth at the time of the award” is computed by allowing interest on unpaid amounts at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum, or such lesser amount as may then be the maximum lawful rate.  As used in subpart (iii) above, the “worth at the time of the award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award, plus one percent (1%).  If Tenant has abandoned the Property, Landlord shall have the option of (i) retaking possession of the Property and recovering from Tenant the amount specified in this Paragraph 10.03(a), and/or (ii) proceeding under Paragraph 10.03(b);

 

(b)  Maintain Tenant’s right to possession, in which case this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant has abandoned the Property.  In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due.  Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations);

 

11



 

(c)  Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the laws or judicial decisions of the state in which the Property is located.
