Lease Forms
- Start a state-specific lease for the rental of commercial property. Specify the term and rent due, as well as whether the landlord or tenant is responsible for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance and repairs.
- When a tenant vacates commercial property before the lease term has expired, it may be able to rent the premises to a third party. The tenant would be the sublessor and the third party would be the sublessee. Besides preparing a sublease, both parties will want to review the provisions for assignment or subletting in the original lease agreement between the landlord and the sublessor.
- Tenants of residential property should prepare a sublease agreement if they are seeking to sublease a room or the entire apartment or house to a third party. All parties should review the original lease agreement to see if there are any restrictions on subletting or assigning the premises.
- Triple net leases are a type of commercial leases where the tenant has to pay for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance, in addition to the monthly rent.
- When renting an office space, tenants should understand the amount of the rent and duration of the lease. Other important terms include whether the space can be subleased, which parties are responsible for maintenance, and whether any furniture and furnishings will be provided.

NET LEASE
THIS LEASE, which is effective as of the date set forth in the Basic Lease
Information, is entered by Landlord and Tenant, as set forth in the Basic Lease
Information. Terms which are capitalized in this Lease shall have the meanings
set forth in the Basic Lease Information or as otherwise defined in this Lease.
1. Premises.
--------
Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, the Premises
described in the Basic Lease Information (as shown on Exhibit A), together with
---------
the right in common to use the Common Areas. The Common Areas shall mean the
areas and facilities within the land shown on Exhibit A-1 (the "Land") and
within all buildings and improvements now or hereafter located on the Land, in
each case to the extent provided and designated by Landlord for the general use,
convenience or benefit of Tenant and other tenants and occupants of the Property
(e.g., restrooms; janitorial, telephone and electrical closets; sidewalks;
---
driveways, public lobbies, entrances and stairs; and unreserved parking areas).
So long as the entire rentable area of any building on the Land is contained in
the Premises, such building shall not have any Common Areas. The Common Areas
shall include the Cultural Center delineated on Exhibit A-1 (the "Cultural
-----------
Center"); provided, however, that Landlord may from time to time prescribe rules
and regulations for use of and access to the Cultural Center by Tenant and other
tenants of the Property. Without limitation of the provisions of any such rules
and regulations, Tenant acknowledges that (i) no tenant of the Property
(including Tenant) shall have exclusive rights to use the Cultural Center, (ii)
some or all of the tenants of the Property (including Tenant) may be excluded
from use of the Cultural Center from time to time to accommodate use of the
Cultural Center for special events, (iii) access to the Cultural Center shall be
restricted by means of a locked gate or other apparatus after normal business
hours, as prescribed from time to time by Landlord. Landlord reserves the right
to make changes to the Common Areas. Building E and Building F are each referred
to herein as a "Building" and are collectively referred to herein as the
"Buildings". The Buildings and such other buildings and improvements now or
hereafter located on the Land, together with the Land and the Common Areas, are
collectively referred to in this Lease as the "Property" or the "Real Property".
2. Term.
----
a. Lease Term. The term of this Lease (the "Term") shall commence on the
----------
Commencement Date (as defined in Subsection 2.b.) and, unless terminated on an
earlier date in accordance with the terms of this Lease, shall end on the date
(the "Expiration Date") that is the last day of the calendar month in which
occurs the seventh (7th) annual anniversary of the Commencement Date. Tenant
acknowledges that on the Commencement Date, the Term, and Tenant's obligation to
pay Base Rent and Operating Expenses pursuant to Sections 4 and 5, respectively,
shall commence as to the entire Premises, notwithstanding that the Tenant
Improvements in the Building E Premises shall not have been Substantially
Completed by such date and that Tenant is unable to use the Building E Premises
for the conduct of its business by such date.
b. Commencement Date. The "Commencement Date" of this Lease shall be the
-----------------
earliest to occur of the following: (i) the date that the Tenant Improvements
(as defined in Exhibit B attached hereto) in the Building F Premises have been
---------
Substantially Completed and Landlord provides written notice thereof to Tenant;
(ii) the date Tenant occupies the Building F Premises or the Building E Premises
or any portion of either for the conduct of business; or (iii) the date the
Commencement Date would have occurred but for Tenant Delay. For all purposes of
this Lease, Tenant shall be deemed to have taken occupancy of the entire
Premises upon the Commencement Date.
"Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements" shall be deemed to have
occurred when the Tenant
1
<PAGE>
Improvements have been completed in accordance with the Final Plans (as defined
in Exhibit B), subject only to the completion or correction of Punch List Items.
---------
Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for obtaining any
permits required by reason of Tenant's particular use of the Premises
(including, without limitation, permits for any Hazardous Materials used in
connection therewith) (collectively, the "Special Use Permits"), and in no event
shall Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements require that the Special
Use Permits have been obtained. "Punch List Items" shall mean incomplete or
defective work or materials in the Tenant Improvements which do not materially
impair Tenant's use of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant's business
therein. "Tenant Delay" means any delay in completion of the Tenant Improvements
caused or requested by Tenant, including any such delay caused by (I) any
Changes (as defined in Exhibit B attached hereto) to the Tenant Improvements
---------
requested by Tenant (including any proposed Changes that are not ultimately
approved or made), (II) Tenant's interference with the construction of the
Tenant Improvements (including any early entry into the Premises, whether or not
approved by Landlord), (III) Tenant's failure to promptly respond to inquiries
regarding the construction of the Tenant Improvements or to promptly make any
selection of materials, finishes or colors, (IV) Tenant's failure to approve or
reasonably disapprove any plans or specifications or costs or budgets or other
items within the time period set forth on Exhibit B for the same, (V) Tenant's
---------
failure to furnish any information to Landlord within the time period set forth
on Exhibit B for the same, (VI) Tenant's request that the Tenant Improvements
---------
include special materials, finishes or installations or other so-called "long
lead" items, or (VII) the Special Use Permits, or any requirement that the same
be obtained.
Landlord shall endeavor in good faith to notify Tenant in writing of any
Tenant Delay (identifying the nature of the Tenant Delay) as soon as reasonably
practicable after Landlord becomes actually aware of such Tenant Delay, together
with Landlord's then good faith estimate of the probable duration of such Tenant
Delay.
c. Premises Not Delivered. If, for any reason, the Commencement Date does
----------------------
not occur by the Estimated Commencement Date, the failure shall not affect the
validity of this Lease, or the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and
Landlord shall not be subject to any liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that the Commencement Date does not occur by December 1, 2000, as
such date shall be extended for delays caused by Tenant Delay or Force Majeure
(such date, as so extended, the "Trigger Date"), then Tenant shall have the
right to terminate this Lease (as to all of the Premises only) by notice to
Landlord given, if at all, within ten (10) days after the Trigger Date. For
purposes of this Lease, "Force Majeure" shall mean strikes, lock-outs, labor
disputes, shortages of material or labor, fire, earthquake, flood or other
casualty, acts of God or any other cause (other than financial inability) beyond
the reasonable control of Landlord.
d. Commencement Date Memorandum. When the Commencement Date is determined,
----------------------------
the parties shall execute a Commencement Date Memorandum, in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C, setting forth the Commencement Date and the Expiration
---------
Date.
e. Early Entry. If Tenant is permitted by Landlord to enter the Premises
-----------
prior to the Commencement Date for the purpose of fixturing or any purpose other
than the conduct of Tenant's business, the entry shall be subject to all the
terms and provisions of this Lease, except that Tenant's obligation to pay Base
Rent and Operating Expenses shall not commence until the Commencement Date.
Without limitation, in no event will Landlord consent to such early access if
Landlord shall reasonably determine that the same might delay or interfere with
Landlord's construction of the Tenant Improvements, or increase the cost of the
Tenant Improvements.
3. Rent.
----
2
<PAGE>
As used in this Lease, the term "Rent" shall include: (i) the Base Rent; (ii)
Operating Expenses payable by Tenant pursuant to Section 5 below; and (iii) all
other amounts which Tenant is obligated to pay under the terms of this Lease.
All amounts of money payable by Tenant to Landlord shall be paid without prior
notice or demand, deduction or offset. If any installment of Base Rent is not
paid by Tenant by the fifth (5th) day of the month, or if any payment of
Operating Expenses or any other amount payable by Tenant is not paid within five
(5) days of the due date thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late payment
charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of the delinquent amount, in
addition to the amount of Rent then owing, regardless of whether a notice of
default or notice of termination has been given by Landlord. In addition to the
five percent (5%) late charge, any Base Rent, Operating Expenses or other
amounts owing hereunder which are not paid within five (5) days after the date
they are due shall thereafter bear interest at the rate ("Interest Rate") which
is the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted
by applicable law.
4. Base Rent.
---------
a. Initial Base Rent. Commencing on the Commencement Date, and thereafter on
-----------------
the first day of each calendar month of the Term, Tenant shall pay monthly base
rent ("Base Rent") for the entire Premises to Landlord (or other entity
designated by Landlord), in advance, at Landlord's address for notices (as set
forth in the Basic Lease Information) or at such other address as Landlord may
designate. The initial Base Rent shall be the amount set forth in the Basic
Lease Information. Base Rent payable hereunder for the first full calendar month
after Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rent commences shall be paid upon Tenant's
execution of this Lease.
b. Base Rent Adjustment. Effective as of each annual anniversary of the
--------------------
Commencement Date, the Base Rent payable by Tenant for the Premises shall
increase to one-hundred four percent (104%) of the Base Rent then in effect for
the Premises (without taking into account any temporary rental abatements then
in effect).
5. Operating Expenses.
------------------
a. Operating Expenses. Tenant shall pay Tenant's Percentage Share of
------------------
Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord during each calendar year falling in
whole or in part during the Term.
b. Operating Expenses. The term "Operating Expenses" shall include all
------------------
reasonable expenses and costs of every kind and nature, except as provided in
the next paragraph, which Landlord shall pay or become obligated to pay because
of or in connection with the ownership, management, administration, maintenance,
repair and operation of the Premises, the Buildings, the Common Areas, and the
balance of the Property, to the extent allocable, as reasonably determined by
Landlord, to the Buildings in which the Premises is located. Operating Expenses
shall include, without limitation, the following: (i) all impositions relating
to the Real Property, including Real Property Taxes (as defined in Section
5.d.); (ii) premiums for insurance relating to the Real Property, including as
set forth in Sections 13.b., 13.d. and 13.i., and insurance deductibles paid by
Landlord; (iii) wages, salaries, bonuses and expenses and benefits (including
hospitalization, medical, surgical, retirement plan, pension plan, union dues,
life insurance, including group life insurance, welfare and other fringe
benefits, and vacation, holidays and other paid absence benefits, and costs of
uniforms) of all on-site and off-site employees of Landlord or its agents, at
the rank of property manager or below, engaged in operation, management,
administration, maintenance, repair and security of the Real Property,
including, without limitation, administrative, management and accounting
personnel and the individual(s) responsible for management of the Property, and
payroll, social security, workers' compensation, unemployment and similar taxes
with respect to such employees of Landlord or its agents, and the cost of
providing disability or other benefits imposed by law or otherwise, with respect
to such
3
<PAGE>
employees; (iv) costs of all supplies, materials and equipment rentals used in
operations; (v) all maintenance, janitorial, security and service costs; (vi) a
management fee not to exceed 5% of all gross revenues from the Real Property,
including revenues attributable to Tenant's and other tenants' payments of
Operating Expenses; (vii) legal and accounting expenses, including the cost of
audits by certified public accountants; (viii) all repair, painting and
maintenance costs relating to the Real Property and its Common Areas, including
sidewalks, landscaping, service areas, mechanical rooms, parking areas,
driveways and Building exteriors; (ix) all charges for heat, water, gas, steam,
fuel, electricity and other utilities used or consumed in the Buildings and
Common Areas; (x) costs of repairs, replacements, and general maintenance to and
of the Building Systems and the Base Building Components (as such terms are
defined in Sections 9.a. and 10.a.; respectively, below); (xi) the costs of
capital improvements, capital replacements, capital repairs, capital equipment,
and capital tools and devices installed or paid for by Landlord and intended to
reduce other Operating Expenses or required to comply with Legal Requirements
(as defined in Section 8.c. below) or intended for the protection of the health
and safety of the occupants of the Property; and (xii) Landlord's costs of
maintaining the Cultural Center, which costs shall be deemed, for purposes of
this Lease, the sum of $60,000.00, as such sum shall be increased on January 30,
1999 and each January 30th thereafter (each, an "Adjustment Date"), by the
percentage increase in the Index over the one (1) year period ending on the date
on which the Index is published in the month immediately preceding the
Adjustment Date. With respect to any costs included in Operating Expenses under
clause (x) which are capital expenditures, as determined by Landlord in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied,
and with respect to the costs of items included in Operating Expenses under
clause (xi), such costs shall be amortized over a period determined by Landlord,
together with interest on the unamortized balance at a rate per annum equal to
three (3) percentage points over the Treasury Rate charged at the time such item
is constructed or acquired, or at such higher rate as may have been paid by
Landlord on funds borrowed for the purpose of acquiring or constructing such
item, but in either case not more than the maximum rate permitted by law at the
time such item is acquired or constructed. As used herein, "Treasury Rate" means
the six-month United States treasury bill rate in effect from time to time by
the San Francisco Main Office of Bank of America, NA (or any successor bank
thereto), or if there is no such rate, the rate quoted by such bank in pricing
ninety day commercial loans to substantial commercial borrowers.
The term "Index" as used herein shall mean the Consumer Price Index for All
Urban Consumers (1982-84 = 100) San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, California, All
Items, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of
Labor. If the Bureau of Labor Statistics ceases to publish the above Index, or
if the above Index is otherwise renamed, discontinued or superseded, the parties
agree that the Bureau of Labor Statistics or any successor governmental agency
thereto will be the sole judge of the comparability of successive indexes, but
if no succeeding index is published, the calculations under this Lease based on
the Index shall be made using the most closely comparable statistics on the
purchasing power of the consumer dollar as published by a responsible financial
authority and selected by Landlord.
Operating Expenses shall not include the following: (i) depreciation on the
Buildings or other buildings located on the Land, or equipment or systems
therein; (ii) debt service; (iii) rental under any ground or underlying lease;
(iv) attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection with lease negotiations
or disputes with past, current or prospective Building tenants; (v) the cost of
decorating, improving for tenant occupancy, painting or redecorating portions of
the Buildings or other buildings located on the Land to be demised to tenants;
(vi) advertising expenses; (vii) costs reimbursed by insurance proceeds; (viii)
real estate broker's or other leasing commissions; or (viii) costs allocable to
the Common Areas in any of the buildings on the Land in which no portion of the
Premises is located.
The parties agree that statements in this Lease to the effect that Landlord
is to perform certain of its obligations hereunder at its own or sole cost
and/or expense shall not be interpreted as excluding any cost from Operating
Expenses if such cost is an Operating Expense pursuant to the terms of this
Section 5.b.

<PAGE>
c. Monthly Increments; Adjustment. Promptly following the commencement of
------------------------------
the Term and prior to the commencement of each subsequent calendar year (or as
soon thereafter as practicable), Landlord shall estimate the Operating Expenses
payable by Tenant for such calendar year pursuant to this Section. Tenant shall
pay to Landlord, on the first day of each month, in advance, one-twelfth (1/12)
of Landlord's estimated amount. If at any time during the course of the year
Landlord determines that the Operating Expenses payable by Tenant will vary from
the then estimated amount, by notice to Tenant Landlord may revise the amount
payable by Tenant during the balance of the calendar year such that the total
estimated additional amount due from Tenant for such calendar year is paid by
Tenant during the balance of the calendar year in equal monthly amounts. Within
ninety (90) days (or as soon thereafter as practicable) after the close of each
calendar year, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a statement to account for any
difference between the actual and the estimated Operating Expenses for the
previous year. Landlord's annual statement shall be final and binding upon
Landlord and Tenant unless, within ninety (90) days after delivery thereof to
Tenant, Landlord shall revise or Tenant shall contest any item therein by
written notice to the other, specifying each item revised or contested and the
reason therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Real Property Taxes included
in any such annual statement may be modified by any subsequent adjustment or
retroactive application of Real Property Taxes affecting the calculation of
Operating Expenses. If Tenant has overpaid the amount of Operating Expenses
owing pursuant to this Section, Landlord shall credit the overpayment against
Tenant's next payments due under this Section 5. If Tenant has underpaid the
amount of Operating Expenses owing pursuant to this Section, Tenant shall pay
the amount of the underpayment to Landlord within thirty (30) days after
Tenant's receipt of Landlord's statement. If the rentable area of either
Building is not fully occupied during any calendar year, Operating Expenses for
such calendar year for such Building shall be adjusted to equal Landlord's
reasonable estimate of the Operating Expenses which would have been incurred
during such calendar year if the total rentable area of such Building were
occupied.
d. Definition of Real Property Taxes. The term "Real Property Taxes" shall
---------------------------------
mean any ordinary or extraordinary form of assessment or special assessment,
license fee, rent tax, levy, penalty (if a result of Tenant's delinquency), or
tax (other than net income, estate, succession, inheritance, transfer or
franchise taxes), imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power
to tax, or by any city, county, state or federal government for any maintenance
or improvement or other district or division thereof. The term shall include all
transit charges, housing fund assessments, real estate taxes and all other taxes
relating to the Premises, Buildings and/or Property, all other taxes which may
be levied in lieu of real estate taxes, all assessments, assessment bonds,
levies, fees, and other governmental charges (including, but not limited to,
charges for traffic facilities, improvements, child care, water services studies
and improvements, and fire services studies and improvements) for amounts
necessary to be expended because of governmental orders, whether general or
special, ordinary or extraordinary, unforeseen as well as foreseen, of any kind
and nature for public improvement, services, benefits or any other purposes
which are assessed, levied, confirmed imposed or become a lien upon the
Premises, Buildings or Property or become payable during the Term.
e. Acknowledgment of Parties. It is acknowledged by Landlord and Tenant that
-------------------------
Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June,
1978 election, and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be
imposed by governmental agencies for such purposes as fire protection, street,
sidewalk, road, utility construction and maintenance, refuse removal and for
other governmental services which formerly may have been provided without charge
to property owners or occupants. It is the intention of the parties that all new
and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges due to Proposition 13
or any other cause are to be included within the definition of Real Property
Taxes for purposes of this Lease.
f. Taxes on Tenant Improvements and Personal Property. Notwithstanding any
--------------------------------------------------
other provision hereof, Tenant shall pay the full amount of any increase in Real
Property Taxes during the Term resulting from any and all Alterations (as
defined in Section 9.a. below) of any kind whatsoever placed in, on or about
5
<PAGE>
the Premises for the benefit of, at the request of, or by Tenant. Tenant shall
pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes assessed or levied against Tenant's
personal property, equipment, furniture or fixtures (collectively, "Personal
Property") in, on or about the Premises. When possible, Tenant shall cause its
Personal Property to be assessed and billed separately from the real or personal
property of Landlord. Tenant recognizes that pursuant to Section 107.6 of the
California Revenue and Taxation Code Tenant's possessory interest under this
Lease may be subject to property taxation based on the full cash value, as
defined in Sections 110 and 110.1 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code.
g. Fiscal Year. Landlord shall have the right to account and bill for
-----------
Operating Expenses on the basis of a fiscal year, rather than a calendar year as
set forth above, and to revise such fiscal year from time to time, provided that
Landlord follows generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied
in connection therewith.
h. Net Lease. This shall be a Net Lease and Base Rent shall be paid to
---------
Landlord absolutely net of all costs and expenses except as expressly herein
provided. The provisions for Tenant's payment of Tenant's Percentage Share of
Operating Expenses are intended to pass on to Tenant and reimburse Landlord for
Tenant's Percentage Share of all costs and expenses associated with the Real
Property, except as expressly provided in this Lease.
i. Tenant's Audit Right. Tenant shall have the right to cause a reputable
--------------------
nationally recognized accounting firm to audit Landlord's books and records
pertaining to Operating Expenses for the immediately prior calendar year,
provided that Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of Tenant's intention to
exercise such audit right within ninety (90) days after receipt of the relevant
annual statement described in Section 5.c., actually begins such audit within
thirty (30) days after such notice from Tenant (but in no event earlier than ten
(10) Business Days (as defined below) after such notice) and diligently pursues
such audit to completion. Landlord agrees to make available to Tenant's
auditors, at the Buildings or at Landlord's office in the State of California,
the books and records relevant to the audit for review and copying, but such
books and records may not be removed from Landlord's location. Tenant shall
promptly deliver to Landlord a copy of the report or other documentation
prepared by Tenant's auditors upon completion of the audit. Tenant shall bear
all costs of such audit, except that, if the audit (as conducted and certified
by Tenant's nationally recognized accounting firm) shows an aggregate
overstatement of Operating Expenses of more than five percent (5%), and
Landlord's auditors concur in such findings (or, in the absence of such
concurrence, such overstatement is ultimately confirmed by dispute resolution),
then Landlord shall bear Tenant's costs of the audit, such payment to be made by
Landlord within thirty (30) days of Landlord's receipt of the invoice (with
reasonably satisfactory supporting documentation) for such costs. If the agreed
or confirmed audit shows an underpayment of Operating Expenses by Tenant, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after the audit is agreed to or
confirmed, the amount owed to Landlord, and, if the agreed or confirmed audit
shows an overpayment of Operating Expenses by Tenant, Landlord shall reimburse
Tenant for such overpayment within thirty (30) days after the audit is agreed to
or confirmed. As used in this Lease, a "Business Day" is Monday through Friday,
excluding state or federal holidays.
6. Proration of Rent. If the Commencement Date is not the first day of a
-----------------
calendar month, or if the end of the Term is not the last day of a calendar
month, Base Rent payable by Tenant pursuant to Section 4, and Operating Expenses
payable by Tenant pursuant to Section 5, shall be prorated on a daily basis
(based upon a thirty (30) day month) for such fractional month. If any date on
which Base Rent is to be adjusted hereunder is not the first day of a calendar
month, Base Rent payable by Tenant pursuant to Section 4 for such calendar month
shall be prorated on a daily basis (based on the number of days in such month)
to take into account the differing Base Rent rates. The termination of this
Lease shall not affect the obligations of Landlord and Tenant pursuant to
Section 5.c. which are to be performed after the termination.
6
<PAGE>
7. Tenant improvements. Landlord agrees to construct within the Premises
-------------------
certain improvements to the Premises ("Tenant Improvements") pursuant to the
terms of Exhibit B. Subject to completion of the Tenant Improvements, if any,
---------
and to Landlord's obligations set forth below in this Section 7, the Premises
shall be delivered to Tenant in its then "as-is" condition, and Landlord shall
not have any obligation to make or pay for any alterations, additions,
improvements or repairs to prepare the Premises for Tenant's occupancy. The
foregoing is not intended to diminish Landlord's repair and maintenance
obligations pursuant to other provisions of this Lease. Within fifteen (15) days
after Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, but prior to Tenant
moving any of its furniture, fixtures or equipment into the Premises, upon
either party's request Landlord and Tenant shall together conduct an inspection
of the Premises and prepare a list of the Punch List Items any items of the
Tenant Improvements that are not in conformity with the Tenant Improvements as
required by the terms of this Lease. Landlord shall use its good faith efforts
to correct all such items within a reasonable period of time following
preparation of such list. In addition, within thirty (30) days following
preparation of such list, upon either party's request Landlord and Tenant shall
conduct a second inspection of the Premises and prepare a second list with
respect to any items that were not adequately completed from the first list and
any items that were not reasonably discoverable during the first inspection.
Landlord shall use its good faith efforts to correct any items listed on the
second list within a reasonable period of time following preparation of such
list. During the term of this Lease, Landlord shall use its good faith efforts
to enforce any warranty claims with respect to the construction of the Tenant
Improvements.
8. Use of the Premises.
-------------------
a. Use. The Premises shall be used solely for the use set forth in the Basic
---
Lease Information and for no other use or purpose. Tenant shall not do or suffer
or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises or the Real Property
which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or
occupants of the Buildings or injure or annoy them, or use or suffer or permit
the Premises to be used for any immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor
shall Tenant cause, maintain, suffer or permit any nuisance in, on or about the
Premises or the Real Property. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall not
permit any odors, smoke, dust, gas, substances, noise or vibration to emanate
from the Premises, and no loudspeakers or other similar device which can be
heard outside the Premises shall, without the prior written approval of
Landlord, be used in or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to
be committed any waste in, to or about the Premises. Tenant agrees not to employ
any person, entity or contractor for any Alterations in the Premises or for
moving Tenant's equipment and furnishings in, out or around the Premises whose
presence may give rise to a labor or other disturbance in a Building or the
balance of the Property and, if necessary to prevent such a disturbance in a
particular situation, Landlord may require Tenant to employ union labor for the
work.
b. Rules and Regulations; CC&R's. Tenant shall comply with the Rules and
-----------------------------
Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit D, as the same may be modified from time
---------
to time by Landlord upon prior notice to Tenant (the "Rules"). In addition,
Tenant shall comply with any covenants, conditions and restrictions ("CC&R's")
applicable to the Real Property, and all rules, regulations and restrictions
imposed by any association formed pursuant to the CC&R's, in each case to the
extent Landlord has delivered a copy thereof to Tenant and the same are not in
conflict with the provisions of this Lease.
c. Compliance. Tenant shall not permit the Premises to be used in violation
----------
of or in conflict with, and at its sole cost and expense shall promptly comply
with, all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations or
requirements now in force or which hereinafter may be in force, with the
requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar board now or
hereafter constituted, with any direction or occupancy certificate issued
pursuant to any law by any public officer or officers, as well as the provisions
of all recorded documents affecting the Premises (all of the foregoing,
collectively, "Legal Requirements"),
7
<PAGE>
insofar as any thereof relate to or affect the condition, use or occupancy of
the Premises, and Tenant shall perform all work to the Premises and other
portions of the Real Property required to effect such compliance (or, at
Landlord's election, Landlord may perform such work at Tenant's expense).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant's foregoing compliance obligations shall
not include any obligations necessitated by Landlord's failure to complete the
Tenant Improvements in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements or by
the failure of the Base Building Components to be in compliance with all
applicable Legal Requirements as of the Commencement Date. The judgement of any
court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any actions
against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has so
violated any such law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or requirement,
shall be conclusive of such violation as between Landlord or Tenant.
d. Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall not cause or permit the storage, use,
-------------------
generation, release, handling or disposal (collectively, "Handling") of any
Hazardous Materials (as defined below), in, on, or about the Premises or the
Real Property by Tenant or any agents, employees, contractors, licensees,
subtenants, customers, guests or invitees of Tenant (collectively with Tenant,
"Tenant Parties"), except that Tenant shall be permitted to use in the Premises
in a normal and customary manner normal quantities of office supplies or
products (such as copier fluids or cleaning supplies) customarily used in the
conduct of general business office activities ("Common Office Chemicals"),
provided that the Handling of such Common Office Chemicals shall comply at all
times with all Legal Requirements, including Hazardous Materials Laws (as
defined below). Upon Landlord's request from time to time, Tenant shall provide
to Landlord a complete written inventory of all Hazardous Materials which Tenant
anticipates using or storing on, or discharging from, the Premises along with
copies of all reports, permits and business plans filed with any federal, state,
local or other governmental agency. Tenant shall update the inventory as
frequently as required to reflect any material changes to the items required to
be disclosed therein. Tenant shall be solely responsible for and shall
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and all other Indemnitees (as defined in
Section 13.a. below), harmless from and against all Claims (as defined in
Section 13.a. below), arising out of or in connection with, or otherwise
relating to (i) any Handling of Hazardous Materials by any Tenant Party or
Tenant's breach of its obligations hereunder, or (ii) any removal, cleanup, or
restoration work and materials necessary to return the Real Property or any
other property of whatever nature located on the Real Property to their
condition existing prior to the Handling of Hazardous Materials in, on or about
the Premises by any Tenant Party. Tenant's foregoing indemnity shall not apply
to the extent of Claims arising solely by reason of Hazardous Materials
conditions existing upon the Premises or the Real Property as of the date of
this Lease. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with copies of all notices
received by it, including, without limitation, any notice of violations, notice
of responsibility or demand for action from any federal, state or local
authority or official in connection with the presence of Hazardous Materials in
or about the Premises or any other portion of the Property. In the event of any
release of Hazardous Materials upon the Premises or any other portion of the
Property, or upon adjacent lands, if caused by Tenant or any other Tenant Party,
Tenant shall promptly remedy the problem in accordance with all applicable Legal
Requirements. For purposes of this Lease, "Hazardous Materials" means any
explosive, radioactive materials, hazardous wastes, or hazardous substances,
including without limitation asbestos containing materials, PCB's, CFC's, or
substances defined as "hazardous substances" in the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section
9601-9657; the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act of 1975, 49 U.S.C. Section
1801-1812; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C. Section
6901-6987; or any other Legal Requirement regulating, relating to, or imposing
liability or standards of conduct concerning any such materials or substances
now or at any time hereafter in effect (collectively, "Hazardous Materials
Laws"). Tenant's obligations under this Section 8.d. shall survive the
expiration or other termination of this Lease.
e. Quiet Enjoyment. If, and so long as, Tenant pays the Rent and keeps,
---------------
observes and performs each and every term, covenant and condition of this Lease
on the part or on behalf of Tenant to be kept, observed
8
<PAGE>
and performed, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises throughout
the Term without hindrance by Landlord or any person lawfully claiming through
or under Landlord, subject to the provisions of this Lease (including, without
limitation, the provisions of Section 22 below and the prior rights of Ground
Lessors and Holders).
9. Alterations.
-----------
a. Alterations. Tenant shall not make any alteration, addition or
-----------
improvement in, to or upon the Premises ("Alteration") without the prior written
consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld with respect to proposed Alterations which (i) are not structural in
nature, (ii) do not affect the Base Building Components, (iii) are, in
Landlord's opinion, compatible with the Building and the balance of the Real
Property and the Building's mechanical, plumbing, electrical,
heating/ventilation/air conditioning, communication, security and fire and other
life safety systems (collectively, the "Building Systems"), and (iv) in
Landlord's opinion will not interfere with the use and occupancy of any other
portion of the Building or the Real Property by any other tenant or permitted
occupant thereof. Tenant shall give Landlord not less than ten (10) days' prior
written notice of any Alteration Tenant desires to make. Any Alterations as to
which Landlord shall consent shall be made only by contractors approved in
advance, in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided, however, that Landlord may, in its sole discretion, specify
the engineers and contractors to perform any work relating to or affecting the
Building Systems or the Base Building Components. Tenant shall comply with all
Legal Requirements applicable to each Alteration and shall deliver to Landlord a
complete set of "as built" plans and specifications for each Alteration. Any
work to the balance of the Building or Real Property related to or affected or
triggered by Tenant's Alterations shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's
expense (or, at Landlord's election, Landlord may perform such work at Tenant's
expense). Tenant shall be solely responsible for maintenance and repair of all
Alterations made by Tenant. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand (whether prior
to or during the course of construction) an amount (the "Alteration Fee") equal
to five percent (5%) of the total cost of each Alteration (and for purposes of
calculating the Alteration Fee, such cost shall include architectural and
engineering fees, but shall not include permit fees) as compensation to Landlord
for miscellaneous costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the Alteration.
In addition, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all third party fees paid by
Landlord in connection with reviewing the proposed Alterations (whether or not
the proposed Alterations are ultimately approved by Landlord or made by Tenant),
including, without limitation, Landlord's architectural and engineering fees.
All Alterations shall be performed diligently and in a first-class workmanlike
manner and in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord, and
shall comply with Landlord's construction procedures and requirements for the
Building (including Landlord's reasonable requirements relating to insurance and
contractor qualifications and scheduling of the work).
b. Liens. If, because of any act or omission of Tenant or anyone claiming
-----
by, through, or under Tenant, any mechanic's lien or other lien is filed against
the Premises or any other portion of the Real Property or against other property
of Landlord (whether or not the lien is valid or enforceable), Tenant shall, at
its own expense, cause it to be discharged of record within a reasonable time,
not to exceed twenty (20) days, after the date of the filing. In addition,
Tenant shall defend and indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless from any and all
Claims resulting from the lien. Without limitation of Landlord's other remedies,
Landlord shall have the rights under Section 16 below if any such lien is not
timely discharged by Tenant.
c. Ownership of Alterations. All Alterations shall immediately become
------------------------
Landlord's property. Except as provided in Section 9.d., Landlord may require
Tenant, at Tenant's sole expense and by the end of the Term, to remove any
Alterations and to restore the Premises to its condition prior to the
Alteration.
d. Request Regarding Removal Obligation. At the time that Tenant requests
------------------------------------
Landlord's consent to
9
<PAGE>
any Alteration, Tenant may request that Landlord notify Tenant if Landlord will
require Tenant, at Tenant's sole expense, to remove any or all of the Alteration
by the end of the Term, and to restore the Premises to its condition prior to
the Alteration. Unless Landlord shall have expressly agreed in writing not to
require such removal and restoration, Landlord's election right under Section
9.c. shall continue through the end of the Term as to such Alterations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for the Above Standard Tenant Improvements
(as defined in Section 13.b.), Tenant shall have no obligation to remove the
Tenant Improvements constructed by Landlord pursuant to Exhibit B attached
hereto.
10. Repairs.
-------
a. Landlord's Repairs. Landlord shall maintain the roof, foundations, floor
------------------
slabs and exterior walls of the Buildings (collectively, the "Base Building
Components") in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
The term walls as used herein shall not include windows, glass or plate glass,
doors, special store fronts or office entries. The term roof as used herein
shall not include skylights, smoke hatches or roof vents. Landlord shall also
maintain in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, the
Common Areas, including, but not limited to, the landscaped areas, parking areas
and driveways. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord's costs of complying
with its obligations under this Section 10 in accordance with Section 5 above,
provided, however, that any damage caused by or repairs necessitated by any act
of Tenant or any other Tenant Party may be repaired by Landlord at Landlord's
option and at Tenant's expense. Tenant shall give Landlord prompt written notice
of any repairs required of Landlord pursuant to this Section 10, after which
notice Landlord shall have reasonable opportunity to perform the same. In
addition to the foregoing, Landlord shall, at Tenant's direct expense (and not
as an Operating Expense), enter into a regularly scheduled preventive
maintenance/service contract with a maintenance contractor for servicing all hot
water, heating and air conditioning systems and equipment within or serving the
Premises, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all such expenses within
thirty (30) days after Landlord's demand.
b. Tenant's Repairs. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, maintain all parts
----------------
of the Premises in a good, clean and secure condition, promptly making all
necessary repairs and replacements including, but not limited to, all windows,
glass or plate glass, doors and any special store fronts or office entries,
walls and wall finishes, floor covering, Building Systems, truck doors, dock
bumpers, dock plates and levelers, plumbing work and fixtures, downspouts,
skylights, smoke hatches, roof vents and utility equipment, in each case to the
extent the same are located within or exclusively serve the Premises. Tenant
shall, at Tenant's expense, also perform necessary pest extermination and
regular removal of trash and debris. If required by the railroad company, Tenant
agrees to sign a joint maintenance agreement governing the use of the rail spur,
if any, located on the Real Property. Tenant shall not damage any demising wall
or disturb the integrity and support provided by any demising wall and shall, at
its sole expense, immediately repair any damage to any demising wall caused by
Tenant or its employees, agents or invitees or any other Tenant Party. Tenant
hereby waives all right to make repairs at the expense of Landlord or in lieu
thereof to vacate the Premises and its other similar rights as provided in
California Civil Code Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 or any other Legal
Requirement (whether now or hereafter in effect).
11. Damage or Destruction.
---------------------
a. Landlord's Obligation to Rebuild. If the Premises are damaged or
--------------------------------
destroyed, Landlord shall promptly and diligently repair the Premises unless
Landlord has the option to terminate this Lease as provided herein, and Landlord
elects to terminate.
b. Right to Terminate. Landlord shall have the option to terminate this
------------------
Lease if the Premises or the Building is destroyed or damaged by fire or other
casualty, regardless of whether the casualty is insured
10
<PAGE>
against under this Lease, if Landlord reasonably estimates that the repair of
the Premises or the Building cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180)
days after the casualty. Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this
Lease if the repair is not fully covered by insurance maintained (or required to
be maintained) by the Landlord pursuant to this Lease other than by reason of
the deductible amounts under Landlord's insurance policies. Tenant shall have
the option to terminate this Lease if the Premises is damaged or destroyed by
fire or other casualty, and Landlord reasonably estimates that the repair of the
Premises cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the
casualty. Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord's reasonable repair period
estimate within (60) days after the casualty. If a party desires to exercise the
fight to terminate this Lease as a result of a casualty, the party shall
exercise the right by giving the other party written notice of its election to
terminate within thirty (30) days after delivery of Landlord's repair period
estimate, in which event this Lease shall terminate fifteen (15) days after the
date of the terminating party's notice. If neither Landlord nor Tenant exercises
the right to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect and Landlord shall promptly commence the process of obtaining necessary
permits and approvals, and shall commence repair of the Premises or the Building
as soon as practicable and thereafter prosecute the repair diligently to
completion.
c. Limited Obligation to Repair. Landlord's obligation, should Landlord
----------------------------
elect or be obligated to repair or rebuild, shall be limited to the Base
Building Components and any Tenant Improvements (including building systems) in
the Premises which are constructed and paid for by Landlord pursuant to Exhibit
-------
B (other than the Above Standard Tenant Improvements). Tenant, at its option and
-
expense, shall replace or fully repair all trade fixtures, equipment,
Alterations and other improvements installed by Tenant and existing at the time
of the damage or destruction.
d. Abatement of Rent. In the event of any damage or destruction to the
-----------------
Premises which does not result in termination of this Lease, the Base Rent and
Operating Expenses payable by Tenant shall be temporarily abated proportionately
to the degree the Premises are untenantable as a result of the damage or
destruction, commencing from the date of the damage or destruction and
continuing during the period required by Landlord to substantially complete its
repair and restoration of the Premises; provided, however, that nothing herein
shall preclude Landlord from being entitled to collect the full amount of any
rent loss insurance proceeds. Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation
or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the Premises, damage to Tenant's
Personal Property or any inconvenience occasioned by any damage, repair or
restoration. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2,
and Section 1933, Subdivision 4, and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California
Civil Code, and the provisions of any similar Legal Requirement (whether now or
hereafter in effect).
e. Insurance Proceeds. If this Lease is terminated, Landlord may keep all
------------------
the insurance proceeds resulting from the damage payable pursuant to insurance
coverage maintained by Landlord, and Tenant shall have no claims thereto.
f. Separate Buildings. In recognition that the Premises are located in two
------------------
separate Buildings, the provisions of this Section 11 shall be applied
separately as to each such Building and the portion of the Premises located
therein.
12. Eminent Domain. If all or any material part of the Premises or balance of
--------------
the Real Property is taken for public or quasi-public use by a governmental
authority under the power of eminent domain or is conveyed to a governmental
authority in lieu of such taking (a "taking"), Landlord may terminate this Lease
by written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the taking. If all or
any material part of the Premises is taken, and if the taking causes the
remaining part of the Premises to be untenantable and inadequate for use by
Tenant for the purpose for which they were leased, then Tenant, at its option
and by giving notice within thirty (30) days after the taking, may terminate
this Lease as of the date Tenant is
11
<PAGE>
required to surrender possession of the Premises. If part of the Premises is
taken but the remaining part is tenantable and adequate for Tenant's use, then
this Lease shall be terminated as to the part taken as of the date Tenant is
required to surrender possession, and, unless Landlord shall have terminated
this Lease pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Landlord shall make such
repairs, alterations and improvements as may be necessary to render the part not
taken tenantable, and the Base Rent and Operating Expenses payable by Tenant
shall be reduced in proportion to the part of the Premises taken. All
compensation awarded for the taking shall be the property of Landlord without
any deduction therefrom for any estate of Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to
Landlord all its right, title and interest in and to the award. Tenant shall
have the right, however, to recover from the governmental authority, but not
from Landlord, such compensation as may be awarded to Tenant on account of the
interruption of Tenant's business, moving and relocation expenses and removal of
Tenant's Personal Property, provided that any such award to Tenant will not
reduce the award which would otherwise be made to Landlord. In recognition that
the Premises are located in two separate Buildings, the provisions of this
Section 12 shall be applied separately as to each such Building and the portion
of the Premises located therein.
13. Indemnity and Insurance.
-----------------------
a. Indemnity. Tenant shall hold Landlord and its constituent shareholders,
---------
partners, members or other owners, and all of their agents, contractors,
servants, officers, directors, employees and licensees (collectively with
Landlord, the "Indemnitees") harmless from and indemnify the Indemnitees against
any and all claims, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in defending against the same
(collectively, "Claims"), to the extent arising from (a) the acts or omissions
of Tenant or any other Tenant Party in, on or about the Real Property, or (b)
any construction or other work undertaken by or on behalf of Tenant in, on or
about the Premises, whether prior to or during the Term, or (c) any accident,
injury or damage, howsoever and by whomsoever caused, to any person or property,
occurring in, on or about the Premises; except to the extent such Claims are
caused directly by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its
authorized representatives. In case any action or proceeding be brought against
any of the Indemnitees by reason of any such Claim, Tenant, upon notice from
Landlord, covenants to resist and defend at Tenant's sole expense such action
or-proceeding by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The provisions of
this Section 13.a. shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease with respect to any injury, illness, death or damage occurring prior to
such expiration or termination.
b. Fire and Extended Coverage. Landlord shall procure and maintain in full
--------------------------
force and effect with respect to the Buildings, including the Tenant
Improvements constructed by Landlord pursuant to Exhibit B (excluding, at
---------
Landlord's option, such of the Tenant Improvements which are unusual or
extraordinary for use of the Premises as permitted hereunder, as reasonably
determined by Landlord and noticed to Tenant at the time Landlord approves the
Final Plans pursuant to Exhibit B (the "Above Standard Tenant Improvements"), a
---------
policy or policies of all risk insurance (including sprinkler, vandalism and
malicious mischief coverage, and any other endorsements desired by the Landlord
or required by the holder of any fee or leasehold mortgage on the Real Property,
but excluding, at Landlord's option, the insurance described in Section 13.i.
below) in such amount as Landlord shall determine, but in an amount at least
equal to eighty percent (80%) (or such greater percentage as shall be required
to preclude Landlord from being deemed a coinsurer) ) of the full replacement
cost (including debris removal, and demolition, but excluding the land and the
footings, foundations and installations below the basement level) thereof. Such
insurance, and all other insurance maintained by Landlord under this Lease,
shall be for the sole benefit of Landlord, and the proceeds therefrom shall be
under Landlord's sole control.
c. Public Liability. Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall keep and
----------------
maintain in full force and effect during the Term the following insurance
coverages, written by an insurance company licensed by and
12
<PAGE>
admitted to issue insurance in the State of California, with a general
policyholders' rating of "A" or better and a financial size ranking of "Class X"
or higher, in the most recent edition of Best's Insurance Guide, in the form
customary to the locality, (i) commercial general liability insurance, including
contractual liability coverage, insuring Tenant's activities with respect to the
Premises and/or the Buildings against loss, damage or liability for personal
injury or death of any person or loss or damage to property occurring in, upon
or about the Premises, with a minimum coverage of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) per occurrence/Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) general aggregate,
plus a Five Million Dollar ($5,000,000) per occurrence/general aggregate
umbrella, (ii) fire damage legal liability insurance and personal/advertising
injury insurance (which shall not be subject to the contractual liability
exclusion), each in the minimum amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000),
(iii) medical payments insurance in the minimum amount of Five Thousand Dollars
($5,000), (iv) worker's compensation insurance in statutory amounts, and (v) if
Tenant operates owned, leased or non-owned vehicles on the Property,
comprehensive automobile liability insurance with a minimum coverage of
$1,000,000 per occurrence/Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) general aggregate;
provided, however, that if, at any time during the Term, Tenant shall have in
full force and effect a blanket policy of public liability insurance with the
same coverage for the Premises as described above in this Section 13.c., as well
as coverage of other premises and properties of Tenant, or in which Tenant has
some interest, the blanket insurance shall satisfy the requirement hereof and be
endorsed to separately apply to the Premises.
d. Rental Abatement Insurance. Landlord may keep and maintain in full force
--------------------------
and effect during the Term rental abatement insurance against abatement or loss
of rents with respect to the Real Property in such amount as determined by
Landlord.
e. Insurance Certificates. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, on or before
----------------------
the Commencement Date and thereafter within thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of each policy, an original certificate of insurance issued by the
insurance carrier of each policy of insurance carried by Tenant pursuant to this
Section 13. The certificates shall expressly provide that the policies shall not
be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or otherwise be subject to
modification except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the parties
named as insureds. Landlord, its successors and assigns, and any nominee of
Landlord holding any interest in the Premises, including, without limitation,
any ground lessor or the holder of any fee or leasehold mortgage, shall be named
as an additional insured under each policy of insurance maintained by Tenant
pursuant to this Lease other than worker's compensation insurance. The policies
and certificates shall further provide that the coverage shall be primary, and
that any coverage carried by Landlord shall be secondary and noncontributory
with respect to Tenant's policy.
f. Tenant's Failure. If Tenant fails to maintain any insurance required by
----------------
this Lease, Tenant shall be liable for any loss or cost resulting from the
failure. This Section shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of Landlord's
rights and remedies under any other provision of this Lease.
g. Waiver of Subrogation. Any policy or policies of fire, extended coverage
---------------------
or similar casualty insurance which either party obtains in connection with the
Buildings, the Premises, or Tenant's Personal Property shall include a clause or
endorsement denying the insurer any rights of subrogation against the other
party (and the other parties named as additional insureds pursuant to Section
13.e. above) to the extent rights have been waived by the insured prior to the
occurrence of injury or loss. Landlord and Tenant each waives any rights of
recovery against the other (and the other parties named as additional insureds
pursuant to Section 13.e. above) for injury or loss due to hazards insurable by
policies of fire, extended coverage or similar casualty insurance, regardless of
whether such insurance policies or coverage shall actually have been obtained by
the party granting such waiver, and regardless of the cause of such fire or
casualty, including the negligence of the party benefiting from such waiver.
Because this Section 13.g will preclude the assignment of any claim mentioned in
it by way of subrogation or otherwise to an insurance company
13
<PAGE>
or any other person, each party to this Lease agrees immediately to give to each
of its insurance companies written notice of the terms of the mutual waivers
contained in this Section 13.g and to have the insurance policies properly
endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverages
by reason of the mutual waivers contained in this Section 13.g.
h. Tenant's Property and Fixtures. Tenant shall assume the risk of damage to
------------------------------
any of Tenant's furniture, equipment, machinery, goods, supplies or fixtures or
other Personal Property, and to any Alterations which Tenant may make to the
Premises and to the Above Standard Tenant Improvements, and shall insure the
same throughout the Term, for their full replacement cost, under insurance
policies reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (certificates of which shall be
delivered to Landlord as set forth above in Section 13.e). Tenant hereby
releases Landlord from any obligation to insure the foregoing items and from any
liability for loss of or damage to such items, regardless of cause.
i. Earthquake and Flood Insurance. In addition to any other insurance
------------------------------
policies carried by Landlord in connection with the Buildings, Landlord may
elect to procure and maintain in full force and effect during the Term with
respect to the Buildings a policy of earthquake/volcanic action and flood and/or
surface water insurance, including rental value insurance against abatement or
loss of rent in the case of damage or loss covered under the earthquake/volcanic
and flood and/or surface water insurance, in an amount up to one hundred percent
(100%) of the full replacement cost (including debris removal and demolition) of
the Buildings and the Tenant Improvements (excluding at Landlord's option, the
Above Standard Tenant Improvements).
14. Assignment or Sublet.
---------------------
a. Tenant Shall not assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion
thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which
consent shall not, subject to Landlord's rights under clause (i) below, be
unreasonably withheld. If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or to sublet the
Premises, or any part thereof, Tenant shall give to Landlord written notice of
its intent at least thirty (30) days in advance of the date on which Tenant
desires to assign or sublet the Premises, which notice shall designate the terms
of the proposed assignment or sublet, the identity of the proposed assignee or
sublessee, and shall be accompanied by financial statements of such proposed
assignee or sublessee and such other information regarding such party and its
business and reputation as shall be required by Landlord to evaluate the
proposed assignment or sublet. Landlord shall have thirty (30) days after
receipt of Tenant's written notice and the above specified information within
which to notify Tenant in writing that Landlord elects to (i) terminate this
Lease, in the case of a proposed assignment, or to terminate this Lease as to
that portion of the Premises to be sublet, in the case of a proposed sublet,
(ii) consent to the proposed assignment or sublet as described in Tenant's
notice, or (iii) reasonably refuse to consent to Tenant's proposed assignment or
sublet, stating the reasons for such refusal. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant
in writing of its election within the thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall be
deemed to have made the election in clause (iii) above. No consent by Landlord
to any assignment or sublet shall be deemed to be a consent to a use not
permitted under this Lease, to any act in violation of this Lease or to any
subsequent assignment or sublet. No assignment or sublet by Tenant shall relieve
Tenant of any liability theretofore or thereafter arising under this Lease. Any
attempted assignment or sublet by Tenant in violation of the terms and covenants
of this Section shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not
have the right described in clause (i) above with respect to any proposed sublet
of the Building E Premises or any portion thereof if the term of such proposed
sublet shall expire on or prior to the third annual anniversary of the Rent
Commencement Date.
b. Processing Expenses. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Landlord's cost of
-------------------
processing each proposed assignment or subletting (whether or not the same is
ultimately approved by Landlord or
14
<PAGE>
consummated by Tenant), an amount equal to the sum of (i) Landlord's reasonable
attorneys' and other professional fees, plus (ii) the sum of $1000.00 for the
cost of Landlord's administrative, accounting and clerical time (collectively,
"Processing Costs"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord
shall not be required to process any request for Landlord's consent to an
assignment or subletting until Tenant has paid to Landlord the amount of
Landlord's estimate of the Processing Costs. When the actual amount of the
Processing Costs is determined, it shall be reconciled with Landlord's estimate,
and any payments or refunds required as a result thereof shall promptly
thereafter be made by the parties.
c. Consideration to Landlord. In the event of any assignment or sublease,
-------------------------
other than an assignment or sublease pursuant to Section 14.g. below, Landlord
shall be entitled to receive, as additional rent hereunder, seventy-five percent
(75%) of any consideration (including, without limitation, payment for leasehold
improvements and any "Leasehold Profit" as defined below) paid by the assignee
or subtenant for the assignment or sublease and, in the case of a sublease, the
excess of the amount of rent paid for the sublet space by the subtenant over the
amount of Monthly Base Rent under Section 4 above and Operating Expenses under
Section 5 above and Assignment or Subletting Costs (amortized as set forth
below), attributable to the sublet space for the corresponding month.
"Assignment or Subletting Costs" shall mean, on an amortized basis over the term
of this Lease, the Excess Cost (as defined in Exhibit B attached hereto) paid by
---------
Tenant for the Tenant Improvements, excluding such of the Excess Cost as shall
be attributable to the Above Standard Tenant Improvements, or the items and/or
costs described in Paragraphs 1.f.ii. and 1.f. iii.C. of Exhibit B attached
---------
hereto, provided that, as a condition to Tenant recapturing the Assignment or
Subletting Costs, Tenant and Landlord shall have agreed in writing as to the
amount thereof with respect to the Building F Premises within thirty (30) days
of the Commencement Date and as to the amount thereof with respect to the
Building E Premises within thirty (30) days after the Tenant Improvements
therein shall have been Substantially Completed. "Leasehold Profit" shall be the
value allocated to the leasehold between the parties to the assignment or
sublease, but in no event less than the excess of the present value of the fair
market rent of the Premises for the remaining term of this Lease at the time of
such assignment or sublease, over the Base Rent payable hereunder for such
remaining term, as reasonably determined by Landlord and communicated to Tenant
at the time of Landlord's consent to the assignment or sublease. Upon Landlord's
request, Tenant shall direct any subtenant or assignee to pay the directly to
Landlord the amounts due to it pursuant to this Section 14.c. on account of such
sublease or assignment. If there is more than one sublease under this Lease, the
amounts (if any) to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Section 14.c.
shall be separately calculated for each sublease and amounts due Landlord with
regard to any one sublease may not be offset against rental and other
consideration pertaining to or due under any other sublease.
d. Documentation. No permitted assignment or subletting by Tenant shall be
-------------
effective until there has been delivered to Landlord a fully executed
counterpart of the assignment or sublease which expressly provides that (i) in
the case of a sublease, the subtenant may not assign its sublease or further
sublet the sublet space without Landlord's prior written consent, (ii) in the
case of an assignment, the assignee assumes all of Tenant's obligations under
this Lease arising on or after the date of the assignment, and (iii) in the case
of a sublease, the subtenant agrees to be and remain jointly and severally
liable with Tenant to Landlord for the payment of Rent pertaining to the sublet
space in the amount set forth in the sublease, and for the performance of all of
the terms and provisions of this Lease pertaining to the sublet space. In
addition to the foregoing, no assignment or sublease by Tenant shall be
effective until there has been delivered to Landlord a fully executed
counterpart of Landlord's consent to assignment or sublease form, as applicable.
The failure or refusal of a subtenant or assignee to execute any such instrument
shall not release or discharge the subtenant or assignee from its liability as
set forth above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no subtenant or assignee shall
be permitted to occupy the Premises unless and until such subtenant or assignee
provides Landlord with certificates evidencing that such subtenant or assignee
is carrying all insurance coverage required of it under this Lease.
15
<PAGE>
e. No Merger. Without limiting any of the provisions of this Section 14, the
---------
voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation
by Landlord and Tenant, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of
Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies or, at the
option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all such
subleases or subtenancies. If Landlord does elect that such surrender or
cancellation operate as an assignment of such subleases or subtenancies,
Landlord shall in no way be liable for any previous act or omission by Tenant
under the subleases or for the return of any deposit(s) under the subleases that
have not been actually delivered to Landlord, nor shall Landlord be bound by any
sublease modification(s) executed without Landlord's consent or for any advance
rental payment by the subtenant in excess of one month's rent.
f. Indirect Assignments. For purposes of this Section 14, the following
--------------------
events shall be deemed an assignment or sublease, as appropriate: (i) the
issuance of equity interests (whether stock, partnership interests or otherwise)
in Tenant or any subtenant or assignee, or any entity controlling any of them,
to any person or group of related persons, in a single transaction or a series
of related or unrelated transactions, such that, following such issuance, such
person or group shall have Control (as defined below) of Tenant or any subtenant
or assignee; (ii) a transfer of Control of Tenant or any subtenant or assignee,
or any entity controlling any of them, in a single transaction or a series of
related or unrelated transactions (including, without limitation, by
consolidation, merger, acquisition or reorganization), except that the transfer
of outstanding capital stock or other listed equity interests by persons or
parties other than "insiders" within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, through the "over-the-counter" market or any recognized
national or international securities exchange, shall not be included in
determining whether Control has been transferred; (iii) a reduction of Tenant's
assets to the point that this Lease and/or other leases are substantially
Tenant's only asset(s); or (iv) a change or conversion in the form of entity of
Tenant, any subtenant or assignee, or any entity controlling any of them, which
has the effect of limiting the liability of any of the partners, members or
other owners of such entity. "Control" shall mean direct or indirect ownership
of 50% or more of all of the voting stock of a corporation or 50% or more of the
voting legal or equitable interest in any other business entity, or the power to
direct the management and operations of any entity (by equity ownership,
contract or otherwise).
g. Affiliates: Successors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
----------------------
Section 14.a or Section 14.c., but subject to the other provisions of this
Section 14, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion
thereof, without Landlord's consent, to any partnership, corporation or other
entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant
(control being defined for such purposes as ownership of 50% or more of all of
the voting stock of a corporation or 50% or more of the voting legal or
equitable interest in any other business entity, and the power to direct the
management and operations of, the relevant entity) (an "Affiliate") or to any
partnership, corporation or other entity resulting from a merger or
consolidation with Tenant or which acquires all or substantially all of Tenant's
assets (through a transfer of assets or equity interests in Tenant) as a going
concern and such assets include substantial assets other than this Lease (a
"Successor"), provided that (i) Landlord receives at least ten (10) days' prior
written notice of the assignment or subletting, in which Tenant shall expressly
confirm that Tenant remains primarily liable (together with the assignee in the
event of an assignment) for all of the obligations of the Tenant under this
Lease, except that if such prior notice shall be prohibited under applicable
Legal Requirements, then such notice shall be given as promptly as is
permissible under applicable Legal Requirements, (ii) in the case of an
assignment to a Successor, the Successor's net worth is not less than Tenant's
net worth immediately prior to such assignment (or series of transactions of
which such assignment is a part), (iii) in the case of a subletting or
assignment to an Affiliate, the Affiliate remains an Affiliate for the duration
of the subletting or the balance of the term in the event of an assignment, (iv)
Landlord receives a fully executed copy of the assignment or sublease agreement
between Tenant and the Affiliate or Successor at least ten (10) days prior to
the effective date of such assignment or sublease, in which the Affiliate or
Successor, as the case may be, assumes (in the event of an assignment) all of
Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and agrees (in the event
16
<PAGE>
of a sublease) that such subtenant will, at Landlord's election, attorn directly
to Landlord in the event that this Lease is terminated for any reason, except
that if such prior delivery of the assignment or sublease shall be prohibited
under applicable Legal Requirements, then such delivery shall be made as
promptly as is permissible under applicable Legal Requirements, (v) the use of
the Premises will not change from the use of the Premises prior to such
assignment (or series of transactions of which such assignment is a part) or
subletting, and (vi) in the case of an assignment, the essential purpose of such
assignment is to transfer an active, ongoing business with substantial assets in
addition to this Lease, and in the case of an assignment or sublease the
transaction is for legitimate business purposes unrelated to this lease and the
transaction is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid it obligations under this
Lease or the restrictions on assignment and subletting contained herein.
15. Default.
-------
a. Tenant's Default. A material breach of this Lease by Tenant shall exist
----------------
if any of the following events (severally, "Event of Default"; collectively,
"Events of Default") shall occur: (i) if Tenant shall have failed to pay Base
Rent, Tenant's Percentage Share of increased Operating Expenses, or any other
sum required to be paid hereunder when due, including any interest due under
Section 3, and such failure shall continue for five (5) days after written
notice thereof from Landlord, except that Landlord shall only be required to
give two (2) such notices in any calendar year, and thereafter any such failure
by Tenant shall constitute an Event of Default without the requirement of notice
from Landlord; (ii) if Tenant shall have failed to perform any term, covenant or
condition of this Lease except those requiring the payment of money, and Tenant
shall have failed to cure the breach within thirty (30) days after written
notice from Landlord if the breach could reasonably be cured within the thirty
(30) day period; provided, however, if the failure could not reasonably be cured
within the thirty (30) day period, then Tenant shall not be in default unless it
has failed to promptly commence and thereafter continue to make diligent and
reasonable efforts to cure the failure as soon as practicable as reasonably
determined by Landlord; (iii) if Tenant shall have assigned its assets for the
benefit of its creditors; (iv) if the sequestration of, attachment of, or
execution on, any material part of the property of Tenant or on any property
essential to the conduct of Tenant's business shall have occurred, and Tenant
shall have failed to obtain a return or release of the property within thirty
(30) days thereafter, or prior to sale pursuant to any sequestration, attachment
or levy, whichever is earlier; (v) if Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises;
(vi) if a court shall have made or entered any decree or order adjudging Tenant
to be insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking
reorganization of Tenant, or directing the winding up or liquidation of Tenant,
and the decree or order shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days;
(vii) if Tenant shall make or suffer any transfer which constitutes a fraudulent
or otherwise avoidable transfer under any provision of the federal Bankruptcy
Laws or any applicable state law; or (viii) if Tenant shall have failed to
comply with the provisions of Sections 22 or 24 of this Lease within the time
periods stated therein. An Event of Default shall constitute a default under
this Lease.
b. Remedies Upon Tenant's Default. Upon an Event of Default, Landlord shall
------------------------------
have the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies
provided by law, equity, statute or otherwise provided in this Lease, to which
Landlord may resort cumulatively or in the alternative:
(i) Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section
1951.4 (a landlord may continue the lease in effect after the tenant's breach
and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if the tenant has the right
to sublet and assign subject only to reasonable limitations), and 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. During the period
Tenant is in default, Landlord may enter the Premises and relet it, or any part
of it, to third parties for Tenant's account, provided that any Rent in excess
of the Rent due hereunder shall be payable
17
<PAGE>
to Landlord. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs
Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises, including, without limitation,
brokers' commissions, expenses of cleaning and redecorating the Premises
required by the reletting and like costs. Reletting may be for a period shorter
or longer than the remaining Term of this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord
the Rent and other sums due under this Lease on the dates the Rent is due, less
the Rent and other sums Landlord receives from any reletting. No act by Landlord
allowed by this Subsection (i) shall terminate this Lease unless Landlord
notifies Tenant in writing that Landlord elects to terminate this Lease.
(ii) Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises
at any time by giving written notice to that effect. No act by Landlord other
than giving written notice to Tenant of such termination shall terminate this
Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of
a receiver on Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's interest under this
Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession. 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: (a)
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 (b) 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 (c) 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 (d) 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: (1) in retaking possession of the Premises,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs therefor; (2) maintaining or
preserving the Premises for reletting to a new tenant, including repairs or
alterations to the Premises for the reletting; (3) leasing commissions; (4) any
other costs necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises; and (5) 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 California Civil Code Section
1951.2 or any other laws of the State of California.
The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in Subsections
(ii)(a) and (ii)(b) is computed by allowing interest at the lesser of eighteen
percent (18%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, on the unpaid Rent
and other sums due and payable from the date due through the date of award. The
"worth at the time of award" of the amount referred to in Subsection (ii)(c) is
computed 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 default of
Tenant hereunder.
c. Landlord's Default. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the
------------------
performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord hereunder
unless and until Landlord has failed to perform the obligation within thirty
(30) days after receipt of written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying the
obligation Landlord has failed to perform; provided, however, that if the nature
of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required
for its performance, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if
Landlord shall commence the performance of such obligation within the thirty
(30) day period and thereafter shall diligently prosecute the same to
completion.
16. Landlord's Right to Perform Tenant's Covenants.
-----------------------------------------------
If Tenant shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any other act
on its part to be made or
18
<PAGE>
performed under this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make
the payment or perform any other act to the extent Landlord may deem desirable
and, in connection therewith, pay expenses and employ counsel. Any payment or
performance by Landlord shall not waive or release Tenant from any obligations
of Tenant under this Lease. All sums so paid by Landlord, and all penalties,
interest and costs in connection therewith, shall be due and payable by Tenant
on the next day after any payment by Landlord, together with interest thereon at
the Interest Rate, from that date to the date of payment thereof by Tenant to
Landlord, plus collection costs and attorneys' fees. Landlord shall have the
same rights and remedies for the nonpayment thereof as in the case of default in
the payment of Base Rent.
17. Letter of Credit.
----------------
a. Within ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Lease, Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord the Letter of Credit described below as security for
Tenant's performance of all of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this
Lease; provided, however, that neither the Letter of Credit nor any proceeds
therefrom (the "Letter of Credit Proceeds") shall be deemed an advance rent
deposit or an advance payment of any other kind, or a measure or limitation of
Landlord's damages or constitute a bar or defense to any of the Landlord's other
remedies under this Lease or at law upon Tenant's default. The Letter of Credit
shall be maintained in effect from the date of this Lease through sixty (60)
days after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and on or prior to
the expiration of such sixty (60) day period, Landlord shall return to Tenant
the Letter of Credit (unless presented for payment as provided herein) and any
Letter of Credit Proceeds then held by Landlord (other than those held for
application by Landlord as provided below, including application to cure any
failure by Tenant to restore the Premises as required by this Lease upon the
surrender thereof); provided, however, that in no event shall any such return be
construed as an admission by Landlord that Tenant has performed all of its
obligations hereunder. Landlord shall not be required to segregate the Letter of
Credit Proceeds from its other funds and no interest shall accrue or be payable
to Tenant with respect thereto. Landlord may (but shall not be required to) draw
upon the Letter of Credit and use the Letter of Credit Proceeds or any portion
thereof to cure any Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease or to compensate
Landlord for any damage Landlord incurs as a result of Tenant's failure to
perform any of its obligations hereunder where Landlord has not given Tenant the
notice required for such failure to constitute an Event of Default solely
because there exist circumstances under which Landlord is enjoined or otherwise
prevented by operation of law from giving to Tenant such notice, it being
understood that any use of the Letter of Credit Proceeds shall not constitute a
bar or defense to any of Landlord's other remedies under this Lease. In such
event and upon written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying the amount of
the Letter of Credit Proceeds so utilized by Landlord and the particular purpose
for which such amount was applied, Tenant shall immediately deliver to Landlord
an amendment to the Letter of Credit or a replacement thereof in an amount equal
to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount specified below for the applicable
period. Tenant's failure to deliver such amendment or replacement to Landlord
within five (5) days of Landlord's notice shall constitute an Event of Default
hereunder. In the event Landlord shall draw upon the Letter of Credit as
provided herein, and shall not fully utilize the Letter of Credit Proceeds as
provided above, upon Tenant's cure of the condition giving rise to such
permitted draw by Landlord, and Landlord's acceptance of such cure, if Tenant
shall deliver the amendment or replacement specified above so that the Letter of
Credit amount is equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount specified
below for the applicable period, Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant the
balance of the Letter of Credit Proceeds then held by Landlord. No lessor under
any ground or underlying lease or holder of or beneficiary under a mortgage or
deed of trust, nor any purchaser at any judicial or private foreclosure sale of
the Property or any portion thereof, shall be responsible to Tenant for such
Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit Proceeds unless such lessor, holder or
purchaser shall have actually received the same.
b. As used herein, Letter of Credit shall mean an unconditional, irrevocable
letter of credit (hereinafter referred to as the "Letter of Credit") issued at
Tenant's sole expense by the San Francisco office of a major
19
<PAGE>
national bank satisfactory to Landlord (the "Bank"), naming Landlord as
beneficiary, and in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, in the amount
of Three Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($3,250,000.00) during the
period from the delivery date thereof through the fourth annual anniversary of
the first Commencement Date to occur hereunder, and reducing in amount on the
fourth annual anniversary of such first Commencement Date and each annual
anniversary of such first Commencement Date thereafter by an amount equal to
twenty percent (20%) of the original amount of the Letter of Credit; provided,
however, that if on the date the Letter of Credit amount would otherwise reduce,
an Event of Default, or default that with notice or the passage of time or both
could mature into an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Letter of Credit amount shall not reduce on such date and shall not
thereafter reduce until such Event of Default or default shall have been cured.
The Letter of Credit shall be for a one-year or, at Tenant's election, longer,
term and shall provide: (i) that Landlord may make partial and multiple draws
thereunder, up to the face amount thereof, (ii) that Landlord may draw upon the
Letter of Credit up to the full amount thereof, as determined by Landlord, and
the Bank will pay to Landlord the amount of such draw upon receipt by the Bank
of a sight draft signed by Landlord and accompanied by a written certification
from Landlord to the Bank stating either: (a) that an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing under this Lease, or (b) that an uncured failure by
the Tenant to perform one or more of its obligations has occurred under this
Lease and there exist circumstances under which Landlord is enjoined or
otherwise prevented by operation of law from giving to Tenant a written notice
which would be necessary for such failure of performance to constitute an Event
of Default under this Lease, or (c) that Landlord has not received notice from
the Bank that the Letter of Credit will be renewed by the Bank for at least one
(1) year beyond the then relevant expiration date and Tenant has not furnished
Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit as hereinafter provided, or (d)
that Bank no longer meets the requirements set forth above and Tenant has not
furnished Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit as required hereunder
from a Bank meeting such requirements; and (iii) that, in the event of
Landlord's assignment or other transfer of its interest in this Lease, the
Letter of Credit shall be freely transferable by Landlord, without charge and
without recourse, to the assignee or transferee of such interest and the Bank
shall confirm the same to Landlord and such assignee or transferee. The Letter
of Credit shall further provide that a draw thereon pursuant to clause (ii)(c)
above may only be made during the thirty (30) day period preceding the then
applicable expiration date of the Letter of Credit. In the event that the Bank
shall fail to notify Landlord that the Letter of Credit will be renewed for at
least one (1) year beyond the then applicable expiration date, and Tenant shall
not have delivered to Landlord, at least thirty (30) days prior to the relevant
annual expiration date, a replacement Letter of Credit in the amount required
hereunder and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth above, then Landlord
shall be entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit as provided above, and shall
hold and apply the proceeds of such draw as Letter of Credit Proceeds pursuant
to Paragraph 17.b above.
In the event that Tenant shall not deliver the Letter of Credit to Landlord in
the form and amount required hereby on or prior to the date required hereby,
then in lieu thereof Tenant shall deliver to Landlord cash in the amount of the
so required Letter of Credit, and Tenant's failure to deliver either cash or the
Letter of Credit shall be deemed an Event of Default hereunder. In addition to
Landlord's other rights and remedies by reason of such Event of Default, each
day which passes after the applicable due date for the Letter of Credit until
and including the day on which Tenant shall deliver such cash or Letter of
Credit to Landlord shall be chargeable to Tenant as a day of Tenant Delay
pursuant to Section 2 above of this Lease.
18. Surrender of Premises.
---------------------
By taking possession of the Premises, subject to Landlord's performance of its
obligations under Section 7, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the
Premises and the Property in good, clean and completed condition and repair,
subject to all applicable laws, codes and ordinances. On the Expiration Date or
earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to
Landlord in its condition as of the
20
<PAGE>
Commencement Date, normal wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall remove from the
Premises all of Tenant's Personal Property and any Alterations required to be
removed pursuant to Section 9 of this Lease. Tenant shall repair any damage or
perform any restoration work required by the removal. If Tenant fails to timely
remove any Personal Property or Alterations as aforesaid, Landlord may remove
the property and store and/or dispose of the same at Tenant's expense, including
interest at the Interest Rate. If the Premises are not so surrendered at the
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all Claims
resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises, including,
without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant, losses to Landlord
due to lost opportunities to lease to succeeding tenants, and attorneys' fees
and costs. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord at least thirty (30)
days prior to vacating the Premises and shall meet with Landlord for a joint
inspection of the Premises at the time of vacating. In the event of Tenant's
failure to give such notice or participate in such joint inspection, Landlord's
inspection at or after Tenant's vacating the Premises shall conclusively be
deemed correct for purposes of determining Tenant's responsibility for removal
of Alterations and repairs and restoration of the Premises.
19. Holding Over.
------------
If Tenant remains in possession of all or any part of the Premises after the
expiration of the Term or the earlier termination of this Lease without
Landlord's prior written consent, the tenancy shall be a tenancy at sufferance
only and shall not constitute a renewal or extension for any further term,
regardless of whether Landlord shall accept Rent for any such period. In such
event, Base Rent shall be increased in an amount equal to the greater of (i) two
hundred percent (200%) of the Base Rent during the last month of the Term
(including any extensions), and (ii) two hundred percent (200%) of the fair
market value of the Premises, and any other sums due under this Lease shall be
payable in the amount, and at the times, specified in this Lease. The tenancy
shall be subject to every other term, condition, covenant and agreement
contained in this Lease, except that any renewal or extension option in favor of
Tenant shall not be applicable. No such increase shall impair Landlord's other
rights and remedies against Tenant by reason of such holding over by Tenant, and
Tenant shall vacate the Premises immediately upon Landlord's request.
20. Access to Premises.
------------------
Tenant shall permit Landlord and its agents to enter the Premises at all
reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice, except in the case of an
emergency (in which event entry may be made when necessary and without notice),
to inspect the Premises, to post Notices of Nonresponsibility and similar
notices, to show the Premises to interested parties such as prospective
mortgagees, purchasers and tenants to provide any services required of Landlord
hereunder, to make necessary alterations, additions, improvements or repairs
either to the Premises, the Buildings, or other premises within the Buildings,
and to discharge Tenant's obligations hereunder when Tenant has failed to do so
within a reasonable time after written notice from Landlord. No such entry shall
constitute a constructive eviction or give rise to an abatement of Rent
hereunder, constitute a constructive eviction, or otherwise diminish Tenant's
obligations under this Lease. In exercising its rights under this Section 20,
Landlord shall at all times endeavor to minimize interference with Tenant's
operations, to the extent practicable. During the last year of the Term,
Landlord shall have the right to erect on the exterior of the Premises and/or on
the exterior or in the Common Areas of the Buildings and the Property suitable
signs indicating that the Premises are available for lease.
21. Signs.
-----
a. General. The size, design, color, location and other physical aspects of
-------
any sign in or on the Premises shall be subject to the CC&R's, Rules, Landlord's
approval prior to installation, and to all Legal Requirements. The costs of any
permitted sign, and the costs of its installation, maintenance and removal,
21
<PAGE>
shall be at Tenant's sole expense and shall be paid within ten (10) days of
Tenant's receipt of a bill from Landlord for the costs. In no event shall Tenant
be permitted to place any sign, logo or other identification on the exterior of
the Buildings, in the Building's Common Areas (other than on a Building
directory maintained to identify the Building's tenants), or upon the Property,
or which is inside the Premises but visible from outside of the Premises (other
than upon the door(s) to the Premises).
b. Exterior Building Signage. Notwithstanding Section 21.a., so long as the
-------------------------
Tenant under this Lease (i) is the Tenant originally named under this Lease in
the Basic Lease Information, (ii) is in occupancy pursuant to this Lease of at
least seventy-five percent (75%) of the portion of the Premises originally
demised under this Lease in the applicable Building, and (iii) is not in default
of any of its obligations hereunder beyond the expiration of any applicable
grace or cure period, Tenant shall be permitted to maintain identification
signage at the top of one exterior side of the Building in which the applicable
portion of the Premises is located, in a location reasonably approved by
Landlord. The installation, maintenance and removal of Tenant's signage pursuant
to this Section 21.b. shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's expense, but in
coordination with Landlord and its reasonable installation procedures and
requirements, or at Landlord's option, by Landlord at Tenant's expense. Such
signage of Tenant shall be subject to Landlord's prior approval and all Legal
Requirements, and shall be limited to Tenant's name and/or logo. If Tenant shall
fail to meet the signage conditions specified herein, Landlord may immediately
remove Tenant's signage at Tenant's expense, and Tenant's signage rights
pursuant to this Section 21.b. shall thereafter forever cease and terminate;
provided, however, that if applicable Legal Requirements do not require removal
-------- -------
of such signage prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period
hereinafter provided, Landlord shall not remove such signage unless it shall
have given Tenant thirty (30) days' prior notice of the signage conditions
Tenant has failed to meet, and such failure continues after the expiration of
such thirty (30) day period. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, or at Landlord's option Landlord
shall, at Tenant's expense, remove Tenant's signage and repair any damage to the
applicable Building caused by such removal.
22. Subordination.
-------------
a. Subordinate Nature. Except as provided in Subsection b., this Lease is
------------------
subject and subordinate to all ground and underlying leases, mortgages and deeds
of trust which now or may hereafter affect the Real Property or any portion
thereof, to the CC&R's, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements and extensions of the foregoing, without the necessity of any
further documentation evidencing such subordination. Notwithstanding such self-
operative subordination, within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord's written
request therefor, Tenant shall execute any and all documents required by
Landlord, the lessor under any ground or underlying lease ("Ground Lessor"), or
the holder or holders of any mortgage or deed of trust ("Holder"), evidencing
this Lease to be subordinate to the lien of any such lease, mortgage or deed of
trust, as the case may be. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as
Tenant's attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any such instrument in the name
of Tenant if Tenant fails to do so within such time. If the interest of Landlord
in the Real Property or the Buildings is transferred to any Ground Lessor or
Holder pursuant to or in lieu of proceedings for enforcement of any such lease,
mortgage, or deed of trust, Tenant shall immediately and automatically attorn to
the Ground Lessor or Holder, and this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect as a direct lease between the Ground Lessor or Holder and Tenant on the
terms and conditions set forth herein.
b. Possible Priority of Lease. If a Ground Lessor or a Holder advises Landlord
--------------------------
that it desires or requires this Lease to be prior and superior to a lease,
mortgage or deed of trust, Landlord may notify Tenant. Within seven (7) Business
Days of Landlord's notice, Tenant shall execute, have acknowledged and deliver
to Landlord any mad all documents or instruments, in the reasonable form
presented to Tenant, which Landlord Ground Lessor or Holder deems necessary or
desirable to make this Lease prior and superior to
22
<PAGE>
the lease, mortgage or deed of trust.
c. Lease Modification. If, in connection with obtaining financing for the
------------------
Real Property or any portion thereof, any Holder or Ground Lessor shall request
reasonable modification to this Lease as a condition to such ground lease or
financing, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, within ten (10)
Business Days of Landlord's request, any such modification agreement so
requested, provided such modifications do not materially adversely affect
Tenant's rights or materially increase Tenant's obligations hereunder.
d. Nondisturbance Agreement. It shall be a condition to the subordination of
------------------------
this Lease to any Superior Interest created after the date of this Lease (as
distinguished from any Superior Interest in effect as of the date of this Lease,
or any amendment or modification thereto), that Tenant shall receive from the
Ground Lessor or Holder, as applicable, of such Superior Interest a so-called
non-disturbance agreement in the form reasonably required by such Ground Lessor
or Holder. If in order to obtain such non-disturbance agreement Landlord is
required to pay any fee or charge to such Ground Lessor or Holder, Tenant shall
either pay such fee or charge upon notice thereof from Landlord, or Landlord
shall be deemed released from its obligation to obtain such non-disturbance
agreement and delivery of the same to Tenant shall no longer be a condition of
the subordination of this Lease thereto.
23. Transfer of the Property.
------------------------
Upon transfer of the Real Property and assignment of this Lease, Landlord
shall be entirely freed and relieved of all liability under any and all of its
covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease occurring
after the consummation of the transfer and assignment, and if Landlord shall
transfer the Letter of Credit and Letter of Credit Proceeds, if any, to the
transferee of Landlord's interest in the Real Property, Landlord shall be
released from all liability for the Letter of Credit and Letter of Credit
Proceeds and the transferee shall be deemed to have assumed liability thereafter
arising with respect to the same. Tenant shall attorn to any entity purchasing
or otherwise acquiring the Premises at any sale or other proceeding.
24. Estoppel Certificates; Financial Statements.
-------------------------------------------
Within ten (10) Business Days following written request by Landlord from time
to time throughout the Term, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an
estoppel certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, duty completed by
---------
Tenant. At the request of Landlord from time to time during the Term, Tenant
shall provide to Landlord its current financial statements or other information
setting forth Tenant's financial condition and net worth. Landlord shall use
such documentation solely for purposes of this Lease and in connection with the
ownership, financing, management and disposition of the Real Property, and shall
not disclose such information to any party other than for such purposes.
25. Mortgagee Protection.
--------------------
In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give notice
by registered or certified mail to each Ground Lessor and Holder whose identity
has been disclosed to Tenant, and shall offer the Ground Lessor or Holder a
reasonable opportunity after such notice (but in no event less than thirty (30)
days) to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Property
or the Premises by lease termination, power of sale or a judicial foreclosure
(as applicable), if such should prove necessary to effect a cure. In no event
shall any Ground Lessor or Holder in any way or to any extent be: (a) liable for
any act or omission of any prior Landlord in contravention of any provision of
this Lease; or (b) subject to any offsets, claims or defenses which Tenant might
have against any prior Landlord; or (c) bound by any Rent which Tenant
23
<PAGE>
might have paid for more than thirty (30) days in advance to any prior Landlord;
or (d) bound by any agreement or modification of this Lease made without such
Ground Lessor's or Holder's written consent. Tenant agrees that if any Ground
Lessor or Holder acquires possession of the Premises or title to the Real
Property as a result of termination of its ground lease or foreclosure of such
Holder's deed of trust or other security instrument, as applicable, the
acceptance of a lease surrender or deed in lieu of such foreclosure, or
otherwise, the provisions of Section 36 below shall be applicable to liability
of such Ground Lessor or Holder as successor Landlord under this Lease.
26. Attorneys' Fees.
---------------
If either party shall bring any action or legal proceeding for damages for an
alleged breach of any provision of this Lease, to recover rent or other sums
due, to terminate the tenancy of the Premises or to enforce, protect or
establish any term, condition or covenant of this Lease or right of either
party, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, as a part of the
action or proceedings, or in a separate action brought for that purpose,
reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs as may be fixed by the court or jury.
The prevailing party shall be the party which secures a final judgment in its
favor, provided that if the party bringing any action shall dismiss the same
without the consent of the other party, the other party shall be deemed the
prevailing party.
27. Brokers.
-------
Tenant warrants and represents that it has had no dealings with any real
estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, except
for any brokers(s) specified in the Basic Lease Information, and that it knows
of no other real estate broker or agent who is or might be entitled to a fee,
commission or other compensation in connection with this Lease.
28. Parking.
-------
Tenant shall have the right to park in the parking facilities on the Land, in
common with other: tenants of the Property, upon such terms and conditions as
may from time to time be established by Landlord. There shall be no charge for
any portion of the parking facilities which is not reserved. Tenant agrees not
to use in excess of its proportionate share (i.e. the rentable square footage of
the Premises in proportion to the rentable square footage of all buildings on
the Land) of the parking facilities on the Land and agrees to cooperate with
Landlord and other tenants in the use of the parking facilities. Landlord
reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine whether the parking
facilities are becoming crowded and to allocate and assign parking spaces and
areas among Tenant and the other tenants of the Buildings, if any, and the
Property. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, nor shall this Lease be
affected, if any parking is impaired by moratorium, initiative, referendum, law,
ordinance, regulation or order passed, issued or made by any governmental or
quasi-governmental body or by fire or other casualty.
29. Utilities and Services.
----------------------
Tenant shall arrange for all telephone, water, gas, electricity, janitorial
services, and other power, utilities and services which it shall require in
connection with its use or occupancy of the Premises and shall pay for the same,
together with any taxes, penalties, surcharges or the like pertaining thereto.
In addition, Landlord shall have no obligation to furnish any utilities or
services to the Premises or any equipment providing for the same. Without
limitation, Tenant shall be solely responsible for providing such heating,
ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC") to the Premises as Tenant shall
require for the comfortable occupancy thereof. Any equipment or systems which
Tenant shall require in order to supply HVAC shall be subject to the provisions
of Section 9 above. Tenant shall obtain, at its expense all electric light
bulbs, ballasts and tubes
24
<PAGE>
as it shall require for the Premises. If any of the foregoing utilities or
services are not separately metered to Tenant, Tenant shall pay a reasonable
proportion, as determined by Landlord, of all charges jointly serving the
Premises and other premises. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages
directly or indirectly resulting from nor shall the Base Rent, Operating
Expenses or any other monies owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease be
abated or reduced by reason of (a) the installation, use or interruption of use
of any equipment used in connection with the furnishing of any of the foregoing
utilities and services, (b) failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any such
utilities or services for any reason whatsoever, or (c) the limitation,
curtailment, rationing or restriction on use of water, electricity, gas or any
other form of energy or any other service or utility whatsoever serving the
Premises or the Real Property. Landlord shall be entitled to cooperate
voluntarily and in a reasonable manner with the efforts of national, state or
local government agencies or utility suppliers in reducing energy or other
resource consumption. The obligation to make services available hereunder shall
be subject to the limitations of any such voluntary, reasonable program.
30. Intentionally Deleted.
---------------------
31. Acceptance.
----------
Delivery of this Lease, duly executed by Tenant, constitutes Tenant's offer to
lease the Premises as set forth herein, and under no circumstances shall such
delivery be deemed to create an option or reservation to lease the Premises for
the benefit of Tenant. This Lease shall become effective and binding only upon
execution hereof by Landlord and delivery of a signed copy to Tenant. If
Landlord does not accept the Tenant's offer within twenty (20) days after the
date a copy of this Lease, as executed by Tenant, is received by Landlord,
Tenant's offer shall be deemed revoked and any sums delivered by Tenant with its
offer shall be returned to Tenant.
32. Use of Building Name.
--------------------
Tenant shall not employ the name of either Building in the name or title of
its business or occupation, or for any other purpose, except to identify the
address of such Building (in Tenant's business cards, stationary or otherwise),
without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent Landlord may withhold in
its sole discretion. Landlord reserves the right, upon at least sixty (60) days'
prior written notice to Tenant, to change the name of each Building without
Tenant's consent and without any liability to Tenant.
33. Recording.
---------
Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Lease, nor a short form
memorandum of this Lease, without the prior written consent of the other.
34. Quitclaim.
---------
Upon any termination or expiration of this Lease pursuant to its terms,
Tenant, at Landlord's request, shall execute, have acknowledged and deliver to
Landlord a quitclaim deed of all Tenant's interest in the Premises, Buildings
and Property created by this Lease.
35. Notices.
-------
Any notice, demand or request required or desired to be given under this Lease
shall be in writing sent to the address of the party specified in this Lease,
and shall be given by hand delivery, electronic mail (e.g., telecopy), overnight
---
courier service (e.g. Federal Express), or the United States mail, registered or
certified, the postage prepaid. All notices shall be deemed to have been given
when received at the address of the party
25
<PAGE>
to which it has been sent (or when such receipt is refused). As of the date of
execution of this Lease, the addresses of Landlord and Tenant are as specified
in the Basic Lease Information. Either party may change its address by giving
notice of the change in accordance with this Section.
36. Landlord's Exculpation.
----------------------
The term "Landlord," as used in this Lease, shall mean only the owner or
owners of the Real Property at the time in question. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Lease, the liability of Landlord for its obligations under
this Lease is limited solely to Landlord's interest in the Real Property as the
same may from time to time be encumbered, and no personal liability shall at any
time be asserted or enforceable against any other assets of Landlord or against
the constituent shareholders, partners or other owners of Landlord, or the
directors, officers, employees and agents of Landlord or such constituent
shareholder, partner or other owner, on account of any of Landlord's obligations
or actions under this Lease. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease,
Landlord shall not be liable for any consequential damages or interruption or
loss of business, income or profits, nor shall Landlord be liable for loss of or
damage to artwork, currency, jewelry, bullion, unique or valuable documents,
securities or other valuables, or for other property not in the nature of
ordinary fixtures, furnishings and equipment. Wherever in this Lease Tenant (a)
releases Landlord from any claim or liability, (b) waives or limits any right of
Tenant to assert any claim against Landlord or to seek recourse against any
property of Landlord or (c) agrees to indemnify Landlord against any matters,
the relevant release, waiver, limitation or indemnity shall run in favor of and
apply to Landlord, the constituent shareholders, partners or other owners of
Landlord, and the directors, officers, employees and agents of Landlord and each
such constituent shareholder, partner or other owner. In no event shall any
shareholder, partner, member, officer, director or other constituent of Landlord
or its direct or indirect constituents ever be personally liable for Landlord's
obligations or liability under this Lease.
37. Additional Structures.
---------------------
Any diminution or interference with light, air or view by any structure which
may be erected on land adjacent to the Buildings shall in no way alter this
Lease or impose any liability on Landlord.
38. Consents and Approvals.
----------------------
Wherever the consent, approval, judgment or determination of Landlord is
required or permitted under this Lease, except as expressly provided herein
Landlord may exercise its sole discretion in granting or withholding such
consent or approval or in making such judgment or determination. Whenever Tenant
requests Landlord to take any action or give any consent or approval, Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord for all of Landlord's costs incurred in reviewing the
proposed action or consent (whether or not Landlord consents to any such
proposed action), including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' or
consultants' fees and expenses, within ten (10) days after Landlord's delivery
to Tenant of a statement of such costs. If it is determined that Landlord failed
to give its consent or approval where it was required to do so under this Lease,
Tenant's sole remedy will be an order of specific performance or mandatory
injunction of the Landlord's agreement to give its consent or approval. The
review and/or approval by Landlord of any item shall not impose upon Landlord
any liability for accuracy or sufficiency of any such item or the quality or
suitability of such item for its intended use. Any such review or approval is
for the sole purpose of protecting Landlord's interest in the Real Property, and
neither Tenant nor any Tenant Party nor any person or entity claiming by,
through or under Tenant, nor any other third party shall have any rights
hereunder by virtue of such review and/or approval by Landlord.

TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
-------------------
1. Tenant Improvements.
-------------------
a. Plans. Improvements shall be constructed in the Premises in
-----
accordance with this Paragraph 1. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the
date of the Lease, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord sufficient information (the
"Initial Information") so as to enable Landlord to prepare preliminary layout
plans and finish specifications for the Premises (the "Space Plans"). On the
basis of such information, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant for Tenant's written
approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) the Space Plans prepared by
Landlord's architect. Tenant shall respond to the Space Plans within three (3)
Business Days of its receipt thereof. Landlord shall respond within three (3)
Business Days to any reasonable objections of Tenant to the Space Plans and
shall resubmit to Tenant as soon as practicable for Tenant's approval (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld) appropriately revised Space Plans prepared
by Landlord's architect. Tenant shall respond to the revised Space Plans within
three (3) Business Days of its receipt thereof. This procedure shall be repeated
until the Space Plans are approved by Tenant. If Tenant fails to respond to the
Space Plans or the revised Space Plans within the periods described above,
Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Space Plans or revised Space Plans,
as applicable. The Space Plans, as finally approved in writing by Landlord and
Tenant, shall be referred to herein as the "Final Space Plans." After completion
of the Final Space Plans, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant for Tenant's written
approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) working plans and
specifications (the "Working Drawings") for the Premises prepared by Landlord's
architect. Tenant shall respond to the Working Drawings within three (3)
Business Days of its receipt thereof. Landlord shall respond within three (3)
Business Days to any reasonable objections of Tenant to the Working Drawings and
shall resubmit to Tenant as soon as practicable for Tenant's approval (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld) appropriately revised Working Drawings
prepared by Landlord's architect. Tenant shall respond to the revised Working
Drawings within three (3) Business Days of its receipt thereof. This procedure
shall be repeated until the Working Drawings are approved by Tenant. If Tenant
fails to respond to the Working Drawings or the revised Working Drawings within
the periods described above, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Working
Drawings or revised Working Drawings, as applicable. The Working Drawings, as
approved in writing by Landlord and Tenant, as revised in accordance with the
following provisions of this Paragraph 1, are hereinafter called the "Final
Plans", and the improvements to be performed in accordance with the Final Plans
are hereinafter called the "Tenant Improvements". Any delay in Substantial
Completion of the Tenant Improvements or increased cost of the Tenant
Improvements caused directly or indirectly by any revision to the Space Plans or
the Working Drawings requested by Tenant or to otherwise make the same
acceptable to Tenant after the initial submission thereof to Tenant by Landlord,
shall constitute a Tenant Delay under Section 2 of the Lease; provided, however,
that as to the Space Plans only, Tenant shall be entitled to request revisions
to the initial submission thereof to Tenant, and to the first re-submission
thereof to Tenant, without the same giving rise to Tenant Delay. The parties
acknowledge that at Tenant's election, it may delay delivery to Landlord of the
Initial Information with respect to the Building E Premises until such date as
Tenant shall elect, rather than submitting the same to Landlord within the
fifteen (15) Business Day period first above referenced. In such event, the
procedures and other provisions of this Exhibit B shall be applied separately as
---------
to the Building E Premises and the Building F Premises and the respective Tenant
Improvements to be constructed therein.
b. Construction. Upon approval of the Final Plans. Landlord shall
------------
submit the same for pricing to a contractor selected by Landlord ("Landlord's
Contractor"), and thereafter provide Tenant with an
1
<PAGE>
estimated budget for the Tenant Improvements, including Landlord's Construction
Operations Fee (as defined in Paragraph 1.f.iii.B. below). Tenant shall have
three (3) Business Days after the receipt of Landlord's estimated budget to
approve or reasonably disapprove of the same. If Tenant disapproves of the
budget within such three (3) Business Day period, Tenant shall so notify
Landlord and the Final Plans shall promptly be modified by Landlord's architect
in order to satisfactorily reduce the amount of the estimated budget, as
requested by Tenant. Any and all revisions to the Final Plans shall be subject
to Landlord's and Tenant's reasonable approval. Upon Landlord's revision of the
Final Plans, Landlord shall cause Landlord's Contractor to promptly issue new
pricing and upon receipt of such pricing Landlord shall prepare and submit to
Tenant a revised estimated budget. Tenant shall respond to the revised estimated
budget in the manner described above. Any delay in Substantial Completion of the
Tenant Improvements or increased cost of the Tenant Improvements caused directly
or indirectly by any revision to the Final Plans or the estimated budget to
address Tenant's disapproval of the estimated budget shall constitute a Tenant
Delay under Section 2 of the Lease. If Tenant fails to raise any objections to
the budget within the three (3) Business Day period(s) described above, Tenant
shall be deemed to have approved Landlord's proposed budget. Landlord shall
commence construction of the Tenant Improvements promptly after approval of the
Final Plans, and thereafter diligently pursue such construction to completion
(but in no event shall Landlord be required to pursue a construction schedule
which would cause Substantial Completion to occur prior to August 1, 200O).
Landlord shall use reasonable care in preparing the budget, but it shall be a
good faith estimate only and will not limit Tenant's obligation to pay for its
share of the costs of the Tenant Improvements as set forth below in this
Paragraph I.
c. Changes. In the event that Tenant shall request any change in or
-------
to the Final Plans (a "Change"), Landlord's architect shall prepare for
Landlord's and Tenant's review and written approval a change order with respect
to such Change (the "Change Order"), together with, if appropriate, revised
Working Drawings incorporating the requested Change and clearly identifying the
same as such on the revised Working Drawings. Landlord shall not unreasonably
withhold or delay its approval of the Change Order or revised Working Drawings,
provided, however, that Landlord shall have at least three (3) Business Days
after receipt thereof to review any proposed Change. In the event that Landlord
shall approve any proposed Change, together with such approval, if practicable,
and if not practicable as soon thereafter as is practicable, Landlord shall give
Tenant Landlord's estimated increase or decrease in the cost of the Tenant
Improvements which would result from incorporating such Change and Landlord's
estimate of the delay, if any, in the commencement or completion of the Tenant
Improvements which would result from incorporating such Change. Landlord will
use reasonable care in preparing the estimates, but they shall be good faith
estimates only and will not limit Tenant's obligation to pay for the actual
increase in the cost of the Tenant Improvements or Tenant's responsibility for
the actual construction delay resulting from the Change. Within three (3)
Business Days after receipt of such cost and delay estimates, Tenant shall
notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant approves the Change. If Tenant fails
to approve the change within such three (3) Business Day period, construction of
the Tenant Improvements shall proceed as provided in accordance with the Final
Plans as they existed prior to the requested Change. If, following Tenant's
review of the estimated costs and delays, Tenant desires Landlord to incorporate
the Change into the Tenant Improvements, then Tenant and Landlord shall execute
a change order for such Change on Landlord's standard form therefor, and the
term "Final Plans" shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the Working Drawings
as so revised and approved.
d. Intentionally Deleted.
---------------------
e. Intentionally Deleted.
---------------------
f. Cost of Improvements. The cost of the construction and
--------------------
installation of the Tenant
2
<PAGE>
Improvements shall be borne as follows:
i. Intentionally Deleted.
ii. Landlord's architectural, engineering and other
consultant fees in connection with the design and construction of
the Tenant Improvements, including the costs of producing the
Space Plans, Final Space Plans, Working Drawings and Final Plans,
shall be paid by Tenant upon Landlord's demand, subject to
Tenant's right to use a portion of Landlord's Contribution towards
the amount of such costs as provided below.
iii. Landlord shall contribute toward the cost of the
construction and installation of the Tenant Improvements an
amount not to exceed $2,157,600.00 (which is the product of
$25.00 times the stipulated number of rentable square feet of the
Premises as set forth in the Basic Lease Information)
("Landlord's Contribution"). Landlord's Contribution shall be
allocated $923,300.00 to the Building E Premises and
$1,286,225.00 to the Building F Premises. The following
provisions shall govern the payment of Landlord's Contribution:
A. Excess Cost; Share of Costs. If the total cost of
---------------------------
construction of the Tenant Improvements (including, without
limitation, the Construction Operations Fee described below, and
all architectural, engineering and permits fees and taxes)
exceeds the funds available therefor from Landlord's
Contribution, then Tenant shall pay all such excess (the "Excess
Cost"). Based on the estimated cost (the "Estimated Costs") of
the construction of the Tenant Improvements, the prorata share of
the Estimated Costs payable by Landlord and Tenant shall be
determined and an appropriate percentage share established for
each (a "Share of Costs"). Tenant and Landlord shall fund the
cost of such work as the same is performed, in accordance with
their respective Share of Costs for such work. At such time as
Landlord's Contribution has been entirely disbursed, Tenant shall
pay the remaining Excess Cost, if any, which payments shall be
made in installments as construction progresses in the same
manner as Tenant's payments of Tenant's Share of Costs were paid.
B. Construction Operations Fee. Landlord shall retain
---------------------------
from the amount of Landlord's Contribution, in the manner
described below, an aggregate sum equal to four percent (4%) of
the total cost of the construction and installation of the Tenant
Improvements (which cost of the construction and installation,
for purposes of this paragraph B, shall include architectural and
engineering fees but shall not include permit fees) (the
"Construction Operations Fee") as compensation to Landlord for
review of plans, specifications and budgets, coordinating the
schedule for construction of the Tenant Improvements, and for
other miscellaneous costs incurred by Landlord as a result of the
construction work. At the time Landlord makes any disbursement of
Landlord's Contribution, Landlord shall retain from Landlord's
Contribution, as a partial payment of the Construction Operations
Fee, a proportionate amount of the Construction Operations Fee
based upon Landlord's reasonable estimate of the amount required
to be withheld from such disbursement in order to ensure that the
entire Construction Operations Fee is retained over the course of
construction on a prorata basis. At such time as Landlord's
Contribution has been entirely disbursed, if the entire
Construction Operations Fee has not yet been paid to Landlord,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord a prorata portion of each payment
made by Tenant on account of the Tenant Improvements in order to
ensure that the balance of the Construction Operations Fee is
paid to Landlord over the course of construction
3
<PAGE>
on a prorata basis.
C. Certain Limitations. In no event may any portion
-------------------
of Landlord's Contribution be applied towards the costs of
Tenant's architectural or engineering fees (if any), trade
fixtures, personal property, equipment or furniture,
telecommunications cabling, or towards rent due under this Lease.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Exhibit B of the
---------
Lease, Landlord's Contribution shall be available for
disbursement pursuant to the terms hereof only for the first
twelve (12) months after the Date of this Lease. Accordingly, if
any portion of Landlord's Contribution is not utilized prior to
the date that is twelve (12) months from the Commencement Date,
such unused portion shall be forfeited by Tenant.
D. Entire Premises to be Improved. Tenant
------------------------------
acknowledges that Landlord's Contribution is to be applied to the
Tenant Improvements covering the entire Premises. If Tenant does
not improve the entire Premises, then, without limitation of any
other rights or remedies of Landlord hereunder, Landlord's
Contribution shall be adjusted on a prorata per rentable square
foot basis to reflect the number of rentable square feet actually
being improved.
