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.

STANDARD LEASE PROVISIONS


1.   Premises.  Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein, those certain premises (the “Premises”) described in the Basic Lease Information and as outlined in red or as shown in the cross-hatched markings on the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit B.  The parties agree that for all purposes hereunder the Premises shall be stipulated to contain the number of square feet of rentable area described in the Basic Lease Information.  The Premises are located in that certain office building (the “Building”) whose street address is as shown in the Basic Lease Information.  The Building is located on that certain land which is also improved with landscaping, parking facilities and other improvements and appurtenances.  Such land, together with all such improvements and appurtenances and the Building, are all or part of a project which may consist of more than one building and additional facilities, as described in the Basic Lease Information (collectively referred to herein as the “Project”).  However, Landlord reserves the right to make such changes, additions and/or deletions to such land, the Building and the Project and/or the common areas and parking or other facilities thereof as it shall determine from time to time.


2.   Term.


(a) Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof, the term of this Lease (the “Term”) shall be as set forth in the Basic Lease Information; provided, however, in the event the Term Commencement Date (defined below) occurs on a date other than the first day of a calendar month, there shall be added to the Term the partial month (“Partial Lease Month”) from the Term Commencement Date to (but not including) the first day of the calendar month following the Term Commencement Date.


(b) Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 2, the Term shall commence on the date (the “Term Commencement Date”) which is the earlier of the date Landlord delivers the Premises to Tenant or the date Tenant takes possession or commences use of any portion of the Premises for any business purpose (including moving in).  If this Lease contemplates the construction of tenant improvements in the Premises by Landlord, Landlord shall be deemed to have delivered the Premises to Tenant on the date determined by Landlord’s space planner to be the date of substantial completion of the work to be performed by Landlord (as described in the Improvement Agreement, if any, attached hereto as Exhibit C) (the “Improvement Agreement”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Landlord is delayed in delivering the Premises by reason of any act or omission of Tenant, the Term Commencement Date shall be (unless Tenant takes possession or commences use of the Premises prior thereto) the date the Premises would have been delivered by Landlord had such Tenant caused delay(s) not occurred.  This Lease shall be a binding contractual obligation effective upon execution hereof by Landlord and Tenant, notwithstanding the later commencement of the Term.  Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has inspected and accepts the Premises in their present condition, “as is”, except for tenant improvements (if any) to be constructed by Landlord in the Premises pursuant to the Improvement Agreement, if any.


1




(c) In the event the Term Commencement Date is delayed or otherwise does not occur on the Scheduled Term Commencement Date specified in the Basic Lease Information, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, the Term shall not be extended (except as provided in Paragraph 2(a)), and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom; provided that Tenant shall not be liable for any Rent (defined below) for any period prior to the Term Commencement Date except as may otherwise be provided in this Lease.  Landlord may deliver to Tenant Landlord’s standard form “Start-Up Letter” for Tenant’s acknowledgment and confirmation of the Term Commencement Date.  Tenant shall execute and deliver such Start-Up Letter to Landlord within five (5) days after receipt thereof, but Tenant’s failure or refusal to do so shall not negate Tenant’s acceptance of the Premises or affect determination of the Term Commencement Date.


3.   Rent and Operating Expenses.


3.1 Base Rent.


(a) Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 3.1, Tenant agrees to pay during the Term as Base Rent for the Premises the sums specified in the Basic Lease Information (as increased from time to time as provided in the Basic Lease Information or as may otherwise be provided in this Lease) (“Base Rent”).


(b) Base Rent shall increase as set forth in the Basic Lease Information or as may otherwise be provided in this Lease.


(c) Except as expressly provided to the contrary herein, Base Rent shall be payable in equal consecutive monthly installments, in advance, without deduction or offset, commencing on the Term Commencement Date and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter.  However, the first full monthly installment of Base Rent shall be payable upon Tenant’s execution of this Lease.  If the Term Commencement Date is a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then the Rent for the Partial Lease Month (the “Partial Lease Month Rent”) shall be prorated based on a month of 30 days.  The Partial Lease Month Rent shall be payable by Tenant on the first day of the calendar month next succeeding the Term Commencement Date.  Base Rent, all forms of additional rent payable hereunder by Tenant and all other amounts, fees, payments or charges payable hereunder by Tenant (collectively, “Additional Rent”) shall (i) each constitute rent payable hereunder (and shall sometimes collectively be referred to herein as “Rent”), (ii) be payable to Landlord in lawful money of the United States when due without any prior demand therefor, except as may be expressly provided to the contrary herein, and (iii) be payable to Landlord at Landlord’s Remittance Address set forth in the Basic Lease Information or to such other person or to such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing to Tenant.  Any Rent or other amounts payable to Landlord by Tenant hereunder for any fractional month shall be prorated based on a month of 30 days.


3.2 Operating Expenses.


(a) Subject to the provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 3.2 as Additional Rent an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share (defined


2




below) of the excess, if any, of Operating Expenses (defined below) allocable to each Expense Year (defined below) over Operating Expenses allocable to the Base Year (the “Base Year”) specified in the Basic Lease Information (“Base Year Operating Expenses”).  Base Year Operating Expenses shall not include market-wide labor-rate increases due to extraordinary circumstances, including, but not limited to, boycotts and strikes, and utility rate increases due to extraordinary circumstances including, but not limited to, conservation surcharges, boycotts, embargoes or other shortages, or amortized costs relating to capital improvements.  “Tenant’s Proportionate Share” is, subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 3.2, the percentage number (representing the Premises’ share of the Building and the Project) set forth in the Basic Lease Information.  An “Expense Year” is any calendar year after the Base Year any portion of which falls within the Term.


(b) “Operating Expenses” means all costs, expenses and obligations incurred or payable by Landlord because of or in connection with the operation, ownership, repair, replacement, restoration, management or maintenance of the Project during or allocable to the Base Year or an Expense Year (as applicable) during the Term (other than costs, expenses or obligations specifically attributable to Tenant or other tenants of the Building or Project), all as determined by sound accounting principles reasonably selected by Landlord and consistently applied, including without limitation the following:


(i)  All property taxes, assessments, charges or impositions and other similar governmental ad valorem or other charges levied on or attributable to the Project (including personal and real property contained therein) or its ownership, operation or transfer, and all taxes, charges, assessments or similar impositions imposed in lieu or substitution (partially or totally) of the same (collectively, “Taxes”).  “Taxes” shall also include (A) all taxes, assessments, levies, charges or impositions on any interest of Landlord in the Project, the Premises or in this Lease, or on the occupancy or use of space in the Project or the Premises; or on the gross or net rentals or income from the Project, including, without limitation, any gross income tax, excise tax, sales tax or gross receipts tax levied by any federal, state or local governmental entity with respect to the receipt of Rent; or (B) any possessory taxes charged or levied in lieu of real estate taxes; and


(ii) The cost of all utilities, supplies, equipment, tools, materials, service contracts, janitorial services, waste and refuse disposal, landscaping, and insurance (with the nature and extent of such insurance to be carried by Landlord to be determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion); insurance deductibles; compensation and benefits of all persons who perform services connected with the operation, management, maintenance or repair of the Project; personal property taxes on and maintenance and repair of equipment and other personal property; costs and fees for administration and management of the Project, whether by Landlord or by an independent contractor, and other management office operational expenses; rental expenses for or a reasonable allowance for depreciation of, personal property used in the operation, management, maintenance or repair of the Project, license, permit and inspection fees; and all inspections, activities, alterations, improvements or other matters required by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or by Regulations (defined below), for any reason, including, without limitation, capital improvements, whether capitalized or not; all capital additions, repairs, replacements and improvements made to the Project or any portion thereof by Landlord (A) of a personal property nature and related to the operation, repair,


3




maintenance or replacement of systems, facilities, equipment or components of (or which service) the Project or portions thereof, (B) required or provided in connection with any existing or future applicable municipal, state, federal or other governmental statutes, rules, requirements, regulations, laws, standards, orders or ordinances including, without limitation, zoning ordinances and regulations, and covenants, easements and restrictions of record (collectively, “Regulations”), (C) which are designed to improve the operating efficiency of the Project, or (D) determined by Landlord to be required to keep pace or be consistent with safety or health advances or improvements (with such capital costs to be amortized over such periods as Landlord shall determine with a return on capital at such rate as would have been paid by Landlord on funds borrowed for the purpose of constructing such capital items); common area repair, resurfacing, replacement, operation and maintenance; security systems or services, if any, deemed appropriate by Landlord (but without obligation to provide the same); and any other cost or expense incurred or payable by Landlord in connection with the operation, ownership, repair, replacement, restoration, management or maintenance of the Project.


(iii)          Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, in no event shall the component of Operating Expenses for any Expense Year consisting of electrical costs be less than the component of Base Year Operating Expenses consisting of electrical costs.


(c) Variable items of Operating Expenses (e.g., expenses that are affected by variations in occupancy levels) for the Base Year and each Expense Year during which actual occupancy of the Project is less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area of the Project shall be appropriately adjusted, in accordance with sound accounting principles, to reflect ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy of the existing rentable area of the Project during such period.


(d) Prior to or shortly following the commencement of (and from time to time during) each Expense Year of the Term following the Term Commencement Date, Landlord shall have the right to give to Tenant a written estimate of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the projected excess, if any, of the Operating Expenses for the Project for such year over the Base Year Operating Expenses.  Commencing with the fast day of the calendar month following the month in which such estimate was delivered to Tenant, Tenant shall pay such estimated amount (less amounts, if any, previously paid toward such excess for such year) to Landlord in equal monthly installments over the remainder of such calendar year, in advance on the first day of each month during such year (or remaining months, if less than all of the year remains).  Subject to the provisions of this Lease, Landlord shall endeavor to furnish to Tenant within a reasonable period after the end of each Expense Year, a statement (a “Reconciliation Statement”) indicating in reasonable detail the excess, if any, of Operating Expenses allocable to such Expense Year over Base Year Operating Expenses and the parties shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, make any payment or allowance necessary to adjust Tenant’s estimated payments to Tenant’s actual share of such excess as indicated by such annual Reconciliation Statement.


(e) Tenant shall pay ten (10) days before delinquency all taxes and assessments levied against any personal property or trade fixtures of Tenant in or about the Premises.  If any such taxes or assessments are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of the Project is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such personal property or trade fixtures, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of demand, reimburse Landlord for


4




the taxes and assessments so levied against Landlord, or any such taxes, levies and assessments resulting from such increase in assessed value.


(f)  Any delay or failure of Landlord in (i) delivering any estimate or statement described in this Paragraph 3.2, or (ii) computing or billing Tenant’s Proportionate Share of excess Operating Expenses shall not (A) constitute a waiver of its right to subsequently deliver such estimate or statement or require any increase in Rent contemplated by this Paragraph 3.2, or (B) in any way waive or impair the continuing obligations of Tenant under this Paragraph 3.2.  Provided that Tenant is not then in default under this Lease, subject to compliance with Landlord’s standard procedures for the same, Tenant shall have the right, upon the condition that Tenant shall first pay to Landlord the amount in dispute, to have independent certified public accountants of national standing (who are not compensated on a contingency basis) of Tenant’s selection (and subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval) review Landlord’s Operating Expense books and records relating to the Expense Year subject to a particular Reconciliation Statement during the sixty-day period following delivery to Tenant of the Reconciliation Statement for such Expense Year.  If such review discloses a liability for a refund in excess of ten percent (10%) of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses previously reported, the cost of such review shall be borne by Landlord; otherwise such cost shall be borne by Tenant.  Tenant waives the right to dispute or contest, and shall have no right to dispute or contest, any matter relating to the calculation of Operating Expenses or other forms of Rent under this Paragraph 3.2 with respect to each Expense Year for which a Reconciliation Statement is given to Tenant if no claim or dispute with respect thereto is asserted by Tenant in writing to Landlord within sixty (60) days of delivery to Tenant of the original or most recent Reconciliation Statement with respect thereto.


4.   Delinquent Payment:  Handling Charges.  In the event Tenant is more than three (3) days late in paying any amount of Rent or any other payment due under this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within ten (10) days of Landlord’s written demand therefor, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent amount, or $150.00, whichever amount is greater.  In addition, any amount due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder which is not paid within ten (10) days of the date due shall bear interest at an annual rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to twelve percent (12%).


5.   Security Deposit.  Contemporaneously with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of Security Deposit (the “Security Deposit”) specified in the Basic Lease Information, which shall be held by Landlord to secure Tenant’s performance of its obligations under this Lease.  Landlord is hereby granted a security interest in the Security Deposit in accordance with applicable provisions of the California Commercial Code.  The Security Deposit is not an advance payment of Rent or a measure or limit of Landlord’s damages upon a default by Tenant or an Event of Default (defined below).  If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit (a) for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default, (b) for the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of such default by Tenant, and (c) to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of such default by Tenant.  If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after demand therefor by Landlord, deposit with Landlord cash in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the amount required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder.  Within a reasonable period


5




following expiration or the sooner termination of this Lease, provided that Tenant has performed all of its obligations hereunder, Landlord shall return to Tenant the remaining portion of the Security Deposit.  The Security Deposit may be commingled by Landlord with Landlord’s other funds, and no interest shall be paid thereon.  If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises, then Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to the transferee and thereafter Landlord shall have no further liability or obligation for the return of the Security Deposit.  Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, and all other provisions of any Regulations, now or hereinafter in force, which restricts the amount or types of claim that a landlord may make upon a security deposit or imposes upon a landlord (or its successors) any obligation with respect to the handling or return of security deposits.


A.  Letter of Credit.


(1) Delivery of Letter of Credit.  Tenant may, within thirty (30) days after execution of this Lease, replace the cash Security Deposit with an unconditional, irrevocable letter of credit (“LOC”) in the amount specified for the Security Deposit in the Basic Lease Information, as it may be increased as provided in this Lease (the “LOC Amount”) for an initial term of the LOC of one (1) year and thereafter shall renew automatically from year to year through the expiration date of this Lease or any extension thereto.  The LOC shall he in a form acceptable to Landlord and shall he issued by an LOC bank selected by Tenant and acceptable to Landlord.  The LOC shall survive termination of this Lease.  An LOC bank is a bank that accepts deposits, maintains accounts, has a local office that will negotiate a letter of credit, and the deposits of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  Tenant shall pay all expenses, points, or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining the LOC.  The LOC shall not he mortgaged, assigned or encumbered in any manner whatsoever by Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to transfer or mortgage its interest in the Project, the Building and in this Lease and Tenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer or mortgage, Landlord shall have the right to transfer or assign the LOC and/or the LOC Security Deposit (as defined below) to the transferee or mortgagee, and in the event of such transfer, Tenant shall look solely to such transferee or mortgagee for the return of the LOC and/or the LOC Security Deposit.  Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm Landlord’s transfer or assignment of the LOC Security Deposit and/or the LOC to such transferee or mortgagee.


(2) Replacement of Letter of Credit.  Tenant may, from time to time, replace any existing LOC with a new LOC if the new LOC (a) becomes effective at least thirty (30) days before expiration of the LOC, that it replaces; (b) is in the required LOC amount; (c) is issued by an LOC bank acceptable to Landlord; and (d) otherwise complies with the requirements of this Paragraph A.


6




(3) Landlord’s Right to Draw on Letter of Credit.  The LOC shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant during the Tease Term.  The LOC shall not he mortgaged, assigned or encumbered in any manner whatsoever by Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord.  Landlord shall hold the LOC as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.  If, after notice and failure to cure within any applicable period provided in this Lease, Tenant defaults on any provision of this Lease, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy it has, draw on all or any portion of the LOC necessary to (a) pay Rent or other sum in default; (b) pay or reimburse Landlord for any amount that Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend in exercising Landlord’s rights under Paragraph 17 (Remedies); and/or (c) compensate Landlord for any expense, loss, or damage that Landlord may suffer because of Tenant’s default.  The use, application or retention of the LOC, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by the Lease or by law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the LOC and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which landlord may otherwise be entitled.  If Tenant fails to renew or replace the LOC at least thirty (30) days before its expiration, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy it has, draw on the entire amount of the LOC.


(4) LOC Security Deposit.  Any amount of the LOC that is drawn on by Landlord but not applied by Landlord shall be held by Landlord as a security deposit (the “LOC Security Deposit”) in accordance with Paragraph 5 of this Lease.


(5) Restoration of Letter of Credit and LOC Security Deposit.  If Landlord draws on all or any portion of the LOC and/or applies all or any portion of such draw, Tenant shall, within five (5) business days after demand by Landlord, either (a) deposit cash with Landlord in an amount that, when added to the amount remaining under the LOC and the amount of any LOC Security Deposit, shall equal the LOC Amount then required under this Paragraph 5; or (b) reinstate the LOC to the full LOC Amount, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a default under this Lease.


6.   Landlord’s Obligations.


6.1 Services.  Subject to the provisions of this Lease, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant during the Term (a) city or utility company water at those points of supply provided for general use of the tenants of the Building; (b) subject to mandatory and voluntary Regulations, heating and air conditioning during ordinary business hours of generally recognized business days designated by Landlord (which in any event shall not include Saturdays, Sundays or legal holidays) (“Business Hours”) for the Building at such temperatures and in such amounts as Landlord reasonably determines is appropriate for normal comfort for normal office use in the


7




Premises; (c) janitorial services to the Premises on weekdays, other than on legal holidays, for Building-standard installations; (d) nonexclusive passenger elevator service; and (e) adequate electrical current during such Business Hours for equipment that does not require more than 110 volts and whose electrical energy consumption does not exceed normal office usage in a premises of the size of the Premises, as determined by Landlord.  If Tenant desires any of the services specified in this Paragraph 6.1 at any time other than during Business Hours, then subject to such nondiscriminatory conditions and standards as Landlord shall apply to the same, upon the written request of Tenant, such services shall be supplied to Tenant in accordance with Landlord’s customary procedures for the Building, including such advance request deadlines as Landlord shall require from time to time, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord Landlord’s then customary charge for such services within ten (10) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an invoice therefor.  Landlord reserves the right to change the supplier or provider of any such service from time to time.  Tenant shall not have the right to obtain any such service for the Premises directly from a supplier or provider of such service except as provided in Paragraph 6.4 below.


6.2 Excess Utility Use.  Landlord shall not be required to furnish electrical current for, and Tenant shall not install or use, without Landlord’s prior written consent, any equipment (a) that requires more than 110 volts, (b) whose operation is in excess of, or inconsistent with, the capacity of the Building (or existing feeders and risers to, or wiring in, the Premises) or (c) whose electrical energy consumption exceeds normal office usage of up to three (3) watts of connected load per usable square foot (“Standard Usage”).  Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 6.2, if Tenant’s consumption of electricity exceeds the electricity to be provided by Landlord above or Standard Usage (which shall be determined by separate metering to be installed at Tenant’s expense or by such other method as Landlord shall reasonably select), Tenant shall pay to Landlord Landlord’s then customary charge for such excess consumption within ten (10) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an invoice therefor.


6.3 Restoration of Services.  Following receipt of Tenant’s request to do so, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to restore any service specifically to be provided under Paragraph 6.1 that becomes unavailable and which is in Landlord’s reasonable control to restore; provided, however, that in no case shall the unavailability of such services or any other service (or any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof) or any interference in Tenant’s business operations within the Premises render Landlord liable to Tenant or any person using or occupying the Premises under or through Tenant (including, without limitation, any contractor, employee, agent, invitee or visitor of Tenant) (each, a “Tenant Party”) for any damages of any nature whatsoever caused thereby, constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant, constitute a breach of any implied warranty by Landlord, or entitle Tenant to any abatement of Tenant’s rental obligations hereunder.


6.4 Telecommunications Services.  Tenant may contract separately with providers of telecommunications or cellular products, systems or services for the Premises.  Even though such products, systems or services may be installed or provided by such providers in the Building, in consideration for Landlord’s permitting such providers to provide such services to Tenant, Tenant agrees that Landlord and the Landlord Indemnitees (defined below) shall in no event be liable to Tenant or any Tenant Party for any damages of any nature whatsoever arising out of or relating to the products, systems or services provided by such providers (or any failure,


8




interruption, defect in or loss of the same) or any acts or omissions of such providers in connection with the same or any interference in Tenant’s business caused thereby.  Tenant waives and releases all rights and remedies against Landlord and the Landlord Indemnitees that are inconsistent with the foregoing.


7.   Improvements, Alterations, Repairs and Maintenance.


7.1 Improvements; Alterations.  Any alterations, additions, deletions, modifications or utility installations in, of or to the improvements contained within the Premises (collectively, “Alteration”) shall be installed at Tenant’s expense and only in accordance with detailed plans and specifications, construction methods, and all appropriate permits and licenses, all of which have been previously submitted to and approved in writing by Landlord, and by a professionally qualified and licensed contractor and subcontractors approved by Landlord.  No Alterations in or to the Premises may be made without (a) Landlord’s prior written consent and (b) compliance with such nondiscriminatory requirements and construction regulations concerning such Alterations as Landlord may impose from time to time.  Landlord will not be deemed to unreasonably withhold its consent to any Alteration that violates Regulations, may affect or be incompatible with the Building’s structure or its HVAC, plumbing, telecommunications, elevator, life-safety, electrical, mechanical or other basic systems, or the appearance of the interior common areas or exterior of the Project, or which may interfere with the use or occupancy of any other portion of the Project.  All Alterations made in or upon the Premises shall, (i) at Landlord’s option, either be removed by Tenant prior to the end of the Term (and Tenant shall restore the portion of the Premises affected to its condition existing immediately prior to such Alteration), or shall remain on the Premises at the end of the Term, (ii) be constructed, maintained, insured and used by Tenant, at its risk and expense, in a first-class, good and workmanlike manner, and in accordance with all Regulations, and (iii) shall be subject to payment of Landlord’s standard alterations supervision fee.  If any Alteration made or initiated by Tenant or the removal thereof shall cause, trigger or result in any portion of the Project outside of the Premises, any portion of the Building’s shell and core improvements (including restrooms, if any) within the Premises, or any Building system inside or outside of the Premises being required by any governmental authority to be altered, improved or removed, or may otherwise potentially affect such portions of the Project or any other tenants of the Project, Landlord shall have the option (but not the obligation) of performing the same at Tenant’s expense, in which case Tenant shall pay to Landlord (within ten (10) days of Landlord’s written demand) in advance Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the cost of such work, and any actual costs of such work in excess of Landlord’s estimate, plus an administrative charge of fifteen percent (15%) thereof.  At least ten (10) days before beginning construction of any Alteration, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of the expected commencement date of that construction to permit Landlord to post and record a notice of non-responsibility.  Upon substantial completion of construction, if the law so provides, Tenant shall cause a timely notice of completion to be recorded in the office of the recorder of the county in which the Building is located.


7.2 Repairs and Maintenance.  Tenant shall maintain at all times during the Term the Premises and all portions and components of the improvements and systems contained therein in a first-class, good, clean, safe, and operable condition, and shall not permit or allow to remain any waste or damage to any portion of the Premises.  Tenant shall repair or replace, as

needed, subject to Landlord’s direction and supervision, any damage to the Building or the Project caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party.  If any such damage occurs outside of the Premises or relates to any Building system, or if Tenant fails to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph 7.2 or under any other paragraph of this Lease within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord (except in the case of an emergency, in which case no notice shall be required), then Landlord may elect to perform such obligations and repair such damage itself at Tenant’s expense.  The cost of all repair or replacement work performed by Landlord under this Paragraph 7.2, plus an administrative charge of fifteen percent (15%) of such cost, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days of receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefor as Additional Rent.  Tenant hereby waives all common law and statutory rights or provisions inconsistent herewith, whether now or hereinafter in effect (including, without limitation, Sections 1941, 1941.1, and 1941.2 of the California Civil Code, as amended from time to time).  Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to maintain the common areas of the Project at all times during the Term with the cost thereof constituting an Operating Expense under Paragraph 3.2.


7.3 Mechanic’s Liens.  Tenant shall not cause, suffer or permit any mechanic’s or materialman’s lien, claim, or stop notice to be filed or asserted against the Premises, the Building or any funds of Landlord for any work performed, materials furnished, or obligation incurred by or at the request of Tenant or any Tenant Party.  If any such lien, claim or notice is filed or asserted, then Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after Landlord has delivered notice of the same to Tenant, either (a) pay and satisfy in full the amount of (and eliminate of record) the lien, claim or notice or (b) diligently contest the same and deliver to Landlord a bond or other security therefor in substance and amount (and issued by an issuer) satisfactory to Landlord.


8.   Use.  Tenant shall continuously occupy and use the Premises only for general office use or uses incidental thereto, all of which shall be consistent with the standards of a first class office project (the “Permitted Use”) and shall comply, at Tenant’s expense, with all Regulations relating to the use, condition, alteration, improvement, access to, and occupancy of the Premises, including without limitation, Regulations relating to Hazardous Materials (defined below).  Should any Regulation now or hereafter be imposed on Tenant or Landlord by any governmental body relating to the use or occupancy of the Premises or the Project common areas by Tenant or any Tenant Party or concerning occupational, health or safety standards for employers, employees, or tenants, then Tenant agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to comply promptly with such Regulations if such Regulations relate to anything within the Premises or if compliance with such Regulations is within the control of Tenant and applies to an area outside of the Premises.  Tenant shall conduct its business and shall cause each Tenant Party to act in such a manner as to (a) not release or permit the release of any Hazardous Material in, under, on or about the Project in violation of any Regulations, (b) use or store any Hazardous Materials (other than incidental amounts of cleaning and office supplies) in or about the Premises or (c) not create or permit any nuisance or unreasonable interference with or disturbance of other tenants of the Project or Landlord in its management of the Project or (d) not create any occupancy density in the Premises or parking density with respect to Tenant and any Tenant Party at the Project greater than those specified in the Basic Lease Information.  Hazardous Material” means any hazardous, explosive, radioactive or toxic substance, material or waste which is or becomes regulated by any local, state or federal governmental authority or agency, including, without limitation, any material or substance which is (i) defined or listed as a “hazardous waste,” “extremely hazardous waste,” “restricted hazardous waste,” “hazardous substance,” “hazardous


10



material,” “pollutant” or “contaminant” under any Regulation, (ii) a flammable explosive, (iii) a radioactive material, (iv) a polychlorinated biphenyl, (v) asbestos or asbestos containing material, or (vi) a carcinogen.


9.   Assignment and Subletting.


9.1 Transfers; Consent.  Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, (a) assign, transfer, mortgage, hypothecate, or encumber this Lease or any estate or interest herein, whether directly, indirectly or by operation of law, (b) permit any other entity to become a Tenant hereunder by merger, consolidation, or other reorganization, (c) if Tenant is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, trust, association or other business entity (other than a corporation whose stock is publicly traded), permit, directly or indirectly, the transfer of any ownership interest in Tenant so as to result in (i) a change in the current control of Tenant, (ii) a transfer of twenty-five percent (25%) or more in the aggregate in any twelve (12) month period in the beneficial ownership of such entity or (iii) a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, (d) sublet any portion of the Premises, or (e) grant any license, concession, or other right of occupancy of or with respect to any portion of the Premises, or (f) permit the use of the Premises by any party other than Tenant or a Tenant Party (each of the events listed in this Paragraph 9.1 being referred to herein as a “Transfer”).  If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, then at least twenty (20) business days prior to the effective date of the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written description of all terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer and all consideration therefor (including a calculation of the Transfer Profits described below), copies of the proposed documentation, and the following information relating to the proposed transfereename and address; information reasonably satisfactory to Landlord concerning the proposed transferee’s business and business history; its proposed use of the Premises; banking, financial, and other credit information; and general references sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the proposed transferee’s creditworthiness and character.  Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any assignment or subletting of the Premises, provided that the parties agree that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold any such consent if, without limitation, Landlord determines in good faith that (A) the proposed transferee is not of a reasonable financial standing or is not creditworthy, (B) the proposed transferee is a governmental agency, (C) the proposed transferee, or any affiliate thereof, is then an occupant in the Project or has engaged in discussions with Landlord concerning a lease of direct space in the Project, (D) the proposed Transfer would result in a breach of any obligation of Landlord or permit any other tenant in the Project to terminate or modify its lease, (E) there is then in effect an uncured Event of Default, (F) the Transfer would increase the occupancy density or parking density of the Project or any portion thereof, (G) the Transfer would result in an undesirable tenant mix for the Project, as determined in good faith by Landlord, (H) the proposed transferee does not enjoy a good reputation, as a business or as a tenant; or (I) any guarantor of the Lease does not consent to such Transfer in a form satisfactory to Landlord.  Any Transfer made without Landlord’s consent shall be void and, at Landlord’s election, shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant.  Tenant shall also, within ten (10) days of written demand therefor, pay to Landlord $500 as a review fee for each Transfer request, and reimburse Landlord for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs incurred in connection with considering any request for consent to a proposed Transfer.  If Landlord consents to a proposed Transfer, then the proposed transferee shall deliver to Landlord Landlord’s standard form transfer consent and agreement whereby the proposed transferee


11




expressly assumes the Tenant’s obligations hereunder.  Landlord’s consent to a Transfer shall not release Tenant from its obligations under this Lease (or any guarantor of this Lease of its obligations with respect thereto), but rather Tenant and its transferee shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations under this Lease allocable to the space subject to such Transfer.  Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not waive Landlord’s rights as to any subsequent Transfers.  In the event of any claim by Tenant that Landlord has breached its obligations under this Paragraph 9.1, Tenant’s remedies shall be limited to recovery of its out-of-pocket damages and injunctive relief.


9.2 Cancellation and Recapture.  Notwithstanding Paragraph 9.1, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to), within ten (10) business days after submission of Tenant’s written request for Landlord’s consent to an assignment or subletting, cancel this Lease as to the portion of the Premises proposed to be sublet or subject to an assignment of this Lease (“Transfer Space’) as of the date such proposed Transfer is proposed to be effective and, thereafter, Landlord may lease such portion of the Premises to the prospective transferee (or to any other person or entity or not at all) without liability to Tenant.  If Landlord shall not cancel this Lease within such ten (10) business day period and notwithstanding any Landlord consent to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, immediately upon receipt thereof, the entire excess (“Transfer Profits”) of all compensation and other consideration paid to or for the benefit of Tenant (or any affiliate thereof) for the Transfer in excess of Base Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant hereunder (with respect to the Transfer Space) during the remainder of the Term (after straight-line amortization of any reasonable brokerage commissions and tenant improvement costs paid by Tenant in connection with the Transfer over the term of the Transfer).  In any assignment or subletting undertaken by Tenant, Tenant shall diligently seek to obtain the maximum rental amount available in the marketplace for comparable space available for primary leasing.


10. Insurance, Waivers, Subrogation and Indemnity.


10.1         Insurance.  Tenant shall maintain throughout the Term each of the insurance policies described on Exhibit D attached hereto and shall otherwise comply with the obligations and requirements provided on Exhibit D.


10.2         Waiver of Subrogation.  Landlord and Tenant each waives any claim, loss or cost it might have against the other for any injury to or death of any person or persons, or damage to or theft, destruction, loss, or loss of use of any property (a “Loss”), to the extent the same is insured against (or is required to be insured against under the terms hereof) under any “all risk” property damage insurance policy covering the Building, the Premises, Landlord’s or Tenant’s fixtures, personal property, leasehold improvements, or business, regardless of whether the negligence of the other party caused such Loss.


10.3         Indemnity.  Subject to Paragraph 10.2, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, Spieker Properties, Inc., and each of their respective directors, shareholders, partners, lenders, members, managers, contractors, affiliates and employees (collectively, “Landlord Indemnitees”) from and against all claims, demands, proceedings, losses, obligations, liabilities, causes of action, suits, judgments, damages, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising from or asserted in connection with


12




the use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Party, including, without limitation, by reason of any release of any Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any Tenant Party in, under, on, or about the Project, or any negligence or misconduct of Tenant or of any Tenant Party in or about the Premises, or Tenants breach of any of its covenants under this Lease, except in each case to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Indemnitee.  Except to the extent expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant hereby waives all claims against and releases Landlord and each Landlord Indemnitee for any injury to or death of persons, damage to property or business loss in any manner related to (i) Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, (ii) acts of God, (iii) acts of third parties, or (iv) any matter outside of the reasonable control of Landlord.  This Paragraph 10.3 shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease.


11. Subordination; Attornment.


11.1         Subordination.  This Lease is subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or master leases of the Project and to the lien of all mortgages or deeds of trust (collectively, “Security Instruments”) now or hereafter encumbering the Project, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of any such Security Instruments, unless the holders of any such mortgages or deeds of trust, or the lessors under such ground or master leases (such holders and lessors are sometimes collectively referred to herein as “Holders”) require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Paragraph 11 to the contrary, any Holder of any Security Instrument may at any time subordinate the lien of its Security Instrument to this Lease without obtaining Tenants consent by giving Tenant written notice of such subordination, in which event this Lease shall be deemed to be senior to the Security Instrument in question.  Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days of request to do so by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may deem necessary or appropriate to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such Security Instrument; provided, however, that at the request of Tenant made within five (5) days of any such Landlord request, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for the benefit of Tenant such Holder’s standard nondisturbance agreement.  Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes Landlord to execute and deliver in the name of Tenant any such instrument or instruments if Tenant fails to do so within said fifteen (15) day period.


11.2         Attornment.  Tenant covenants and agrees that in the event that any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any mortgage or deed of trust, or if any ground or master lease is terminated, it shall attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure sale, or to the lessor of such ground or master lease, as the case may be, if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or lessor as “Landlord” under this Lease.  If requested, Tenant shall enter into a new lease with that successor on the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease (for the unexpired portion of the Term then remaining).


12. Rules and Regulations.  Tenant shall comply, and shall cause each Tenant Party to comply, with the Rules and Regulations of the Building which are attached hereto as Exhibit A,


13




and all such nondiscriminatory modifications, additions, deletions and amendments thereto as Landlord shall adopt in good faith from time to time.


13. Condemnation.  If the entire Project or Premises are taken by right of eminent domain or conveyed by Landlord in lieu thereof (a “Taking”), this Lease shall terminate as of the date of the Taking.  If any part of the Project becomes subject to a Taking and such Taking will prevent Tenant from conducting its business in the Premises in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before such Taking for a period of more than one hundred eighty (180) days, then Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date of such Taking by giving written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Taking, and all Rent paid or payable hereunder shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the date of such Taking.  If any material portion, but less than all, of the Project, Building or the Premises becomes subject to a Taking, or if Landlord is required to pay any of the proceeds received for a Taking to any Holder of any Security Instrument, then Landlord may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice thereof to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such Taking, and all Rent paid or payable hereunder shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the date of such Taking.  If this Lease is not so terminated, then Base Rent thereafter payable hereunder shall be abated for the duration of the Taking in proportion to that portion of the Premises rendered untenantable by such Taking.  If any Taking occurs, then Landlord shall receive the entire award or other compensation for the land on which the Project is situated, the Project, and other improvements taken, and Tenant may separately pursue a claim (to the extent it will not reduce Landlord’s award) against the condemnor for the value of Tenant’s personal property which Tenant is entitled to remove under this Lease and moving and relocation costs.  Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions of this Paragraph 13 and the remaining provisions of this Lease shall exclusively govern the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to any Taking of any portion of the Premises, the Building, the Project or the land on which the Building is located, and Landlord and Tenant hereby waive and release each and all of their respective common law and statutory rights inconsistent herewith, whether now or hereinafter in effect (including, without limitation, Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, as amended from time to time).


14. Fire or Other Casualty.


14.1         Repair Estimate; Right to Terminate.  If all or any portion of the Premises, the Building or the Project is damaged by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Landlord shall, within ninety (90) days after Landlord’s discovery of such damage, deliver to Tenant its good faith estimate (the “Damage Notice”) of the time period following such notice needed to repair the damage caused by such Casualty.  Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease in any case where (a) any portion of the Premises or any material portion of the Project are damaged and (b) either (i) Landlord estimates in good faith that the repair and restoration of such damage under Paragraph 14.2 (“Restoration”) cannot reasonably be completed (without the payment of overtime) within two hundred (200) days of Landlord’s actual discovery of such damage, (ii) the Holder of any Security Instrument requires the application of any insurance proceeds with respect to such Casualty to be applied to the outstanding balance of the obligation secured by such Security Instrument, (iii) the cost of such Restoration is not fully covered by insurance proceeds available to Landlord and/or payments received by Landlord from tenants, or (iv) Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of rent under this Paragraph 14 for any period of time in excess of thirty-three percent (33%) of the remainder of the Term.  Such right of


14




termination shall be exercisable by Landlord by delivery of written notice to Tenant at any time following the Casualty until forty-five (45) days following the later of (A) delivery of the Damage Notice or (B) Landlord’s discovery or determination of any of the events described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the preceding sentence, and shall be effective upon delivery of such notice of termination (or if Tenant has not vacated the Premises, upon the expiration of thirty (30) days thereafter).


14.2         Repair Obligation; Abatement of Rent.  Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 14.1, Landlord shall, within a reasonable time after the discovery by Landlord of any damage resulting from a Casualty, begin to repair the damage to the Building and the Premises resulting from such Casualty and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building and Premises to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before such Casualty, except for modifications required by Regulations, and modifications to the Building or the Project reasonably deemed desirable by Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required as part of the Restoration to repair or replace any of the Alterations, furniture, equipment, fixtures, and other improvements which may have been placed by, or at the request of, Tenant or other occupants in the Building or the Premises.  Landlord shall have no liability for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to Tenant’s business as a result of any Casualty, regardless of the cause therefor.  Base Rent, and Additional Rent payable under Paragraph 3.2, shall abate if and to the extent a Casualty damages the Premises or common areas in the Project required and essential for access thereto and as a result thereof all or a material portion of the Premises are rendered unfit for occupancy, and are not occupied by Tenant, for the period of time commencing on the date Tenant vacates the portion of the Premises affected on account thereof and continuing until the date the Restoration to be performed by Landlord with respect to the Premises (and/or required common areas) is substantially complete, as determined by Landlord’s architect.  Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions of this Paragraph 14 and the remaining provisions of this Lease shall exclusively govern the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of all or any portion of the Premises or the Project by Casualty, and Landlord and Tenant hereby waive and release each and all of their respective common law and statutory rights inconsistent herewith, whether now or hereinafter in effect (including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, as amended from time to time).


15. Parking.  Tenant shall have the right to the nonexclusive use of such portion of the parking facilities of the Project as are designated by Landlord from time to time for such purpose for the parking of passenger-size motor vehicles used by Tenant and Tenant Parties only and are not transferable without Landlord’s approval.  The use of such parking facilities shall be subject to the parking rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit E, as such rules and regulations may be modified by Landlord from time to time, for the use of such facilities.


16. Events of Default.  Each of the following occurrences shall be an “Event of Default” and shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:  (a) any failure by Tenant to pay any installment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or to make any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder when due; (b) the abandonment or vacation of the Premises by Tenant, provided, however, that unless Tenant is using the Premises for a retail use, abandonment or vacation of the Premises shall not be an Event of Default so long as no other Event of Default has occurred hereunder and provided Tenant has given Landlord five (5) days’


15




prior written notice of its intent to vacate the Premises; (c) any failure by Tenant to execute and deliver any estoppel certificate or other document or instrument described in Paragraphs 10 (insurance), 11 (subordination) or 21.2 (estoppel certificates) requested by Landlord, where such failure continues for five (5) days after delivery of written notice of such failure by Landlord to Tenant; (d) any failure by Tenant to fully perform any other obligation of Tenant under this Lease, where such failure continues for thirty (30) days (except where a shorter period of time is specified in this Lease, in which case such shorter time period shall apply) after delivery of written notice of such failure by Landlord to Tenant; (e) the voluntary or involuntary filing of a petition by or against Tenant or any general partner of Tenant (i) in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding, (ii) seeking any relief under any state or federal debtor relief law, (iii) for the appointment of a liquidator or receiver for all or substantially all of Tenant’s property or for Tenant’s interest in this Lease, or (iv) for the reorganization or modification of Tenant’s capital structure (provided, however, that if such a petition is filed against Tenant, then such filing shall not be an Event of Default unless Tenant fails to have the proceedings initiated by such petition dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof); (f) the default of any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder under any guaranty of this Lease, the attempted repudiation or revocation of any such guaranty, or the participation by any such guarantor in any other event described in this Paragraph 16 (as if this Paragraph 16 referred to such guarantor in place of Tenant); or (g) any other event, act or omission which any other provision of this Lease identifies as an Event of Default.  Any notice of any failure of Tenant required under this Paragraph 16 shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Section 1161 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure.


17. Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity (all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate, and cumulative), the option to pursue any one (1) or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever:


(a) Terminate this Lease, and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:  (i) the worth at the time of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom (specifically including, without limitation, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant); and (v) 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 applicable law.  The term “rent” as used in this Paragraph 17(a) shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others.  As used in Paragraphs 17(a)(i) and (ii), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Default Rate, but in


16




no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law.  As used in Paragraph 17(a)(iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1% ).


(b) Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations).  Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all Rent as it becomes due.


(c) Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies available under Paragraphs 17(a) and 17(b) above, or any law or other provision of this Lease), without prior demand or notice except as required by applicable law, to seek any declaratory, injunctive, or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof.


(d) Following the occurrence of three instances of payment of Rent more than ten (10) days late in any twelve (12) month period, the late charge set forth in Paragraph 4 shall apply from the date payment was due and Landlord may, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to it, upon written notice to Tenant, require that all remaining monthly installments of Rent payable under this Lease shall be payable by cashier’s check or electronic funds transfer three (3) months in advance, and may require that Tenant increase the Security Deposit to an amount equal to three times the current month’s Rent at the time of the most recent default.  In addition, (i) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant, if the Premises or any portion thereof are sublet, Landlord may, at its option and in addition and without prejudice to any other remedies herein provided or provided by law, collect directly from the sublessee(s) all rentals becoming due to the Tenant and apply such rentals against other sums due hereunder to Landlord; (ii) without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Landlord, if Tenant shall be in default under this Lease, Landlord may cure the same at the expense of Tenant (A) immediately and without notice in the case (1) of emergency, (2) where such default unreasonably interferes with any other tenant in the Building, or (3) where such default will result in the violation of any Regulation or the cancellation of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord, and (B) in any other case if such default continues for ten (10) days following the receipt by Tenant of notice of such default from Landlord and all costs incurred by Landlord in curing such default(s), including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, shall be reimbursable by Tenant as Rent hereunder upon demand, together with interest thereon, from the date such costs were incurred by Landlord, at the Default Rate; and (iii) Tenant hereby waives for Tenant and for all those claiming under Tenant all rights now and hereafter existing to redeem by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination of this Lease.


18. Surrender of Premises.  No act by Landlord shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises shall be valid


17




unless it is in writing and signed by Landlord.  At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all keys (including any electronic access devices and the like) to the Premises, and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the Premises in the same condition as existed on the date Tenant originally took possession thereof, ordinary wear and tear excepted, provided that ordinary wear and tear shall not include repair and clean up items.  By way of example, but without limitation, repair and clean up items shall include cleaning of all interior walls, carpets and floors, replacement of damaged or missing ceiling or floor tiles, window coverings or cover plates, removal of any Tenant-introduced markings, and repair of all holes and gaps and repainting required thereby, as well as the removal requirements below.  In addition, prior to the expiration of the Term or any sooner termination thereof, (a) Tenant shall remove such Alterations as Landlord shall request and shall restore the portion of the Premises affected by such Alterations and such removal to its condition existing immediately prior to the making of such Alterations, (b) Tenant shall remove from the Premises all unattached trade fixtures, furniture, equipment and personal property located in the Premises, including, without limitation, phone equipment, wiring, cabling and all garbage, waste and debris, and (c) Tenant shall repair all damage to the Premises or the Project caused by any such removal including, without limitation, full restoration of all holes and gaps resulting from any such removal and repainting required thereby.  All personal property and fixtures of Tenant not so removed shall, to the extent permitted under applicable Regulations, be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed, or otherwise disposed of by Landlord without notice to Tenant and without any obligation to account for such items.


19. Holding Over.  If Tenant holds over after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term hereof, with or without the express or implied consent of landlord, Tenant shall become and be only a tenant at sufferance at a daily rent equal to one-thirtieth of the greater of (a) the then prevailing monthly fair market rental rate as determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion, or (b) two hundred percent (200%) of the monthly installment of Base Rent (and estimated Additional Rent payable under Paragraph 3.2) payable by Tenant immediately prior to such expiration or termination, and otherwise upon the terms, covenants and conditions herein specified, so far as applicable, as reasonably determined by Landlord.  Neither any provision hereof nor any acceptance by Landlord of any Rent after any such expiration or earlier termination (including, without limitation, through any “lockbox”) shall be deemed a consent to any holdover hereunder or result in a renewal of this Lease or an extension of the Term, or any waiver of any of Landlord’s rights or remedies with respect to such holdover.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, (i) Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises upon the expiration of the Term or upon the earlier termination hereof or at any time during any holdover, and the right to assert any remedy at law or in equity to evict Tenant and collect damages in connection with any such holdover, and (ii) Tenant shall indemnity, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, all lost profits and other consequential damages, attorneys’ fees, consultants’ fees and court costs incurred or suffered by or asserted against Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to surrender the Premises on the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.

20.1         Deleted


20.2         Estoppel Certificates; Financial Statements.  At any time and from time to time during the Term, Tenant shall, without charge, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request therefor, an estoppel certificate in recordable form containing such factual certifications and other provisions as are found in the estoppel certificate forms requested by institutional lenders and purchasers.  Tenant agrees in any case that (a) the foregoing certificate may be relied on by anyone holding or proposing to acquire any interest in the Project from or through Landlord or by any mortgagee or lessor or prospective mortgagee or lessor of the Project or of any interest therein and (b) the form of estoppel certificate shall be in the form of, at Landlord’s election, the standard form of such present or prospective lender, lessor or purchaser (or any form substantially similar thereto), or any other form that Landlord shall reasonably select.  At the request of Landlord from time to time, Tenant shall provide to Landlord within ten (10) days of Landlord’s request therefor Tenant’s and any guarantor’s current financial statements.


20.3         Notices.  Notices, requests, consents or other communications desired or required to be given by or on behalf of Landlord or Tenant under this Lease shall be effective only if given in writing and sent by (a) registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, (b) nationally recognized express mail courier that provides written evidence of delivery, fees prepaid, or (c) facsimile and United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed as set forth in the Basic Lease Information, or at such other address in the State of California as may be specified from time to time, in writing, or, if to Tenant, at the Premises.  Any such notice, request, consent, or other communication shall only be deemed given (i) if sent by registered or certified United States mail, on the day it is officially delivered to or refused by the intended recipient, (ii) if sent by nationally recognized express mail courier, on the date it is officially recorded by such courier, (iii) if delivered by facsimile, on the date the sender obtains written telephonic confirmation that the electronic transmission was received, or (iv) if delivered personally, upon delivery or, if refused by the intended recipient, upon attempted delivery.


20.4         Payment by Tenant;  Non-Waiver.  Landlord’s acceptance of Rent (including, without limitation, through any “lockbox”) following an Event of Default shall not waive Landlord’s rights regarding such Event of Default.  No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach of any of the terms contained herein shall waive Landlord’s rights regarding any future violation of such terms.  Landlord’s acceptance of any partial payment of Rent shall not waive
