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.

from Lessor, the Premises, for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the
terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease. Unless otherwise
provided herein, any statement of square footage set forth in this Lease, or
that may have been used in calculating rental, is an approximation which Lessor
and Lessee agree is reasonable and the rental based thereon is not subject to
revision whether or not the actual square footage is more or less.
2.2 CONDITION. Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee clean and free
of debris on the Commencement Date and warrants to Lessee that the existing
plumbing, fire sprinkler system, lighting, air conditioning, heating, and
loading doors, if any, in the Premises, other than those constructed by Lessee,
shall be in good operating condition on the Commencement Date. If a
non-compliance with said warranty exists as of the Commencement Date, Lessor
shall, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, promptly after receipt of
written notice from Lessee setting forth with specificity the nature and extent
of such non-compliance, rectify same at Lessor's expense. If Lessee does not
give Lessor written notice of a non-compliance with this warranty within thirty
(30) days after the Commencement Date, correction of that non-compliance shall
be the obligation of Lessee at Lessee's sole costs and expense.
2.3 COMPLIANCE WITH COVENANTS, RESTRICTIONS AND BUILDING CODE. Lessor
warrants to Lessee that the improvements on the Premises comply with all
applicable covenants or restrictions of record and applicable building codes,
regulations and ordinances in effect on the Commencement Date. Said warranty
does not apply to the use to which Lessee will put the Premises or to any
Alterations or Utility Installations (as defined in Paragraph 7.3(a)) made or to
be made by Lessee. If the Premises do not comply with said warranty, Lessor
shall, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, promptly after receipt of
written notice from Lessee setting forth with specificity the nature and extent
of such non-compliance, rectify the same at Lessor's expense. If Lessee does
not give Lessor written notice of a non-compliance with this warranty within
six (6) months following the Commencement Date, correction of that
non-compliance shall be the obligation of Lessee at Lessee's sole cost and
expense.
2.4 ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES. Lessee hereby acknowledges: (a) that it has
been advised by the Brokers to satisfy itself with respect to the condition of
the Premises (including but not limited to the electrical and fire sprinkler
systems, security, environmental aspects, compliance with Applicable Law, as
defined in Paragraph 6.3) and the present and future suitability of the Premises
for Lessee's intended use, (b) that Lessee has made such investigation as it
deems necessary with reference to such matters and assumes all responsibility
therefor as the same relate to Lessee's occupancy of the Premises and/or the
term of this Lease, and (c) that neither Lessor, nor any of Lessor's agents, has
made any oral or written representations or warranties with respect to the said
matters other than as set forth in this Lease.
2.5 LESSEE PRIOR OWNER/OCCUPANT. The warranties made by Lessor in this
Paragraph 2 shall be of no force or effect if immediately prior to the date set
forth in Paragraph 1.1 Lessee was the owner or occupant of the Premises. In
such event, Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, correct any
non-compliance of the Premises with said warranties.
3. TERM.
3.1 TERM. The Commencement Date, Expiration Date and Original Term of
this Lease are as specified in Paragraph 1.3.
3.2 EARLY POSSESSION. If Lessee totally or partially occupies the
Premises prior to the Commencement Date, the obligation to pay Base Rent shall
be abated for the period of such early possession. All other terms of this
Lease, however, (including but not limited to the obligations to pay Real
Property Taxes and insurance premiums and to maintain the Premises) shall be in
effect during such period. Any such early possession shall not affect nor
advance the Expiration Date of the Original Term.
PAGE 1
<PAGE> 2
3.3 DELAY IN POSSESSION. If for any reason Lessor cannot deliver
possession of the Premises to Lessee as agreed hereby by the Early Possession
Date, if one is specified in Paragraph 1.4, or, if no Early Possession Date is
specified, by the Commencement Date, Lessor shall not be subject to any
liability therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease,
or the obligations of Lessee hereunder, or extend the term hereof, but in such
case, Lessee shall not, except as otherwise provided herein, be obligated to
pay rent or perform any other obligation of Lessee under the terms of this
Lease until Lessor delivers possession of the Premises to Lessee. If possession
of the Premises is not delivered to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the
Commencement Date, Lessee may, at its option, by notice in writing to Lessor
within ten (10) days thereafter, cancel this Lease, in which event the Parties
shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder; provided, however, that if
such written notice by Lessee is not received by Lessor within said ten (10)
day period, Lessee's right to cancel this Lease shall terminate and be of no
further force or effect. Except as may be otherwise provided, and regardless of
when the term actually commences, if possession is not tendered to Lessee when
required by this Lease and Lessee does not terminate this Lease, as aforesaid,
the period free of the obligation to pay Base Rent, if any, that Lessee would
otherwise have enjoyed shall run from the date of delivery of possession and
continue for a period equal to what Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed under
the terms hereof, but minus any days of delay caused by the acts, changes or
omissions of Lessee.
4. RENT.
4.1 BASE RENT. Lessee shall cause payment of Base Rent and other rent or
charges, as the same may be adjusted from time to time, to be received by
Lessor in lawful money of the United States, without offset or deduction, on or
before the day on which it is due under the terms of this Lease. Base Rent and
all other rent and charges for any period during the term hereof which is for
less than one (1) full calendar month shall be prorated based upon the actual
number of days of the calendar month involved. Payment of Base Rent and other
charges shall be made to Lessor at its address stated herein or to such other
persons or at such other addresses as Lessor may from time to time designate in
writing to Lessee.
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof
the Security Deposit set forth in Paragraph 1.7 as security for Lessee's
faithful performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease. If Lessee fails
to pay Base Rent or other rent or charges due hereunder, or otherwise Defaults
under this Lease (as defined in Paragraph 13.1), Lessor may use, apply or
retain all or any portion of said Security Deposit for the payment of any
amount due Lessor or to reimburse or compensate Lessor for any liability, cost,
expense, loss or damage (including attorneys' fees) which Lessor may suffer or
incur by reason thereof. If Lessor uses or applies all or any portion of said
Security Deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written request
therefor deposit moneys with Lessor sufficient to restore said Security Deposit
to the full amount required by this Lease. Any time the Base Rent increases
during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, upon written request from Lessor,
deposit additional moneys with Lessor sufficient to maintain the same ratio
between the Security Deposit and the Base Rent as those amounts are specified
in the Basic Provisions. Lessor shall not be required to keep all or any part
of the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts. Lessor shall, at
the expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof and after Lessee has
vacated the Premises, return to Lessee (or, at Lessor's option, to the last
assignee, if any, of Lessee's interest herein), that portion of the Security
Deposit not used or applied by Lessor. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in
writing by Lessor, no part of the Security Deposit shall be considered to be
held in trust, to bear interest or other increment for its use, or to be
prepayment for any moneys to be paid by Lessee under this Lease.
6. USE.
6.1 USE. Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises only for the purposes
set forth in Paragraph 1.8, or any other use which is comparable thereto, and
for no other purpose. Lessee shall not use or permit the use of the Premises in
a manner that creates waste or a nuisance, or that disturbs owners and/or
occupants of, or causes damage to, neighboring premises or properties. Lessor
hereby agrees to not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any written
request by Lessee, Lessee's assignees or subtenants, and by prospective
assignees and subtenants of the Lessee, its assignees and subtenants, for a
modification of said permitted purpose for which the premises may be used or
occupied, so long as the same will not impair the structural integrity of the
improvements on the Premises, the mechanical or electrical systems therein, is
not significantly more burdensome to the Premises and the improvements thereon,
and is otherwise permissible pursuant to the Paragraph 6. If Lessor elects to
withhold such consent, Lessor shall within five (5) business days give a
written notification of same, which notice shall include an explanation of
Lessor's reasonable objections to the change in use.
6.2 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.
(a) REPORTABLE USES REQUIRE CONSENT. The term "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE"
as used in this Lease shall mean any product, substance, chemical, material or
waste whose presence, nature, quantity and/or intensity of existence, use,
manufacture, disposal, transportation, spill, release or effect, either by
itself or in combination with other materials expected to be on the Premises,
is either: (i) potentially injurious to the public health, safely or welfare,
the environment or the Premises, (ii) regulated or monitored by any
governmental authority, or (iii) a basis for liability of Lessor to any
governmental agency or third party under any applicable statute or common law
theory. Hazardous Substance shall include, but not be limited to, hydrocarbons,
petroleum, gasoline, crude oil or any products, by-products or fractions
thereof. Lessee shall not engage in any activity in, on or about the Premises
which constitutes a Reportable Use (as hereinafter defined) of Hazardous
Substances without the express prior written consent of Lessor and compliance
in a timely manner (at Lessee's sole cost and expense) with all Applicable Law
(as defined in Paragraph 6.3). "REPORTABLE USE" shall mean (i) the installation
or use of any above or below ground storage tank, (ii) the generation,
possession, storage, use, transportation, or disposal of a Hazardous Substance
that requires permit from, or with respect to which a report, notice,
registration or business plan is required to be filed with, any governmental
authority. Reportable Use shall also include Lessee's being responsible for the
presence in, on or about the Premises of a Hazardous Substance with respect to
which any Application Law requires that a notice be given to persons entering
or occupying the Premises or neighboring properties. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Lessee may without Lessor's prior consent, but in compliance with all
Applicable Law, use any ordinary and customary materials reasonably required to
be used by Lessee in the normal course of Lessee's business permitted on the
Premises, so long as such use is not a Reportable Use and does not expose the
Premises or neighboring properties to any meaningful risk of contamination or
damage or expose Lessor to any liability therefor. In addition, Lessor may (but
without any obligation to do so) condition its consent to the use or presence of
any Hazardous Substance, activity or storage tank by Lessee upon Lessee's
giving Lessor such additional assurances as Lessor, in its reasonable
discretion, deems necessary to protect itself, the public, the Premises and the
environment against damage, contamination or injury and/or liability therefrom
or therefor, including, but not limited to, the installation (and removal on or
before Lease expiration or earlier termination) of reasonably necessary
protective modifications to the Premises (such as concrete encasements) and/or
the deposit of an additional Security Deposit under Paragraph 5 hereof.
(b) DUTY TO INFORM LESSOR. If Lessee knows, or has reasonable cause
to believe, that a Hazardous Substance, or a condition involving or resulting
from same, has come to be located in, on, under or about the Premises, other
than as previously consented to by Lessor, Lessee shall immediately give
written notice of such fact to Lessor. Lessee shall also immediately give
Lessor a copy of any statement, report, notice, registration, application,
permit, business plan, license, claim, action or proceeding given to, or
received from, any governmental authority or private party, or persons entering
or occupying the Premises, concerning the presence, spill, release, discharge
of, or exposure to, any Hazardous Substance or contamination in, on, or about
the Premises, including but not limited to all such documents as may be
involved in any Reportable Uses involving the Premises.
(c) INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and
hold Lessor, its agents, employees, lenders and ground lessor, if any, and the
Premises, harmless from and against any and all loss of rents and/or damages,
liabilities, judgments, costs, claims, liens, expenses, penalties, permits and
attorney's and consultant's fees arising out of or involving any Hazardous
Substance or storage tank brought onto the Premises by or for Lessee or under
Lessee's control. Lessee's obligations under this Paragraph 6 shall include,
but not be limited to, the effects of any contamination or injury to personal
property or the environment created or suffered by Lessee, and the cost of
investigation (including consultant's and attorney's fees and testing),
removal, remediation, restoration and/or abatement thereof, or of any
contamination therein involved, and shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease. No termination, cancellation or release agreement
entered into by Lessor and Lessee shall release Lessee from its obligations
under this Lease with respect to Hazardous Substances or storage tanks, unless
specifically so agreed by Lessor in writing at the time of such agreement.
6.3 LESSEE'S COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Except as otherwise provided in this
Lease, Lessee, shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, fully, diligently and
in a timely manner, comply with all "APPLICABLE LAW," which term is used in
this Lease to include all laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, directives,
covenants, easements and restrictions of record, permits, the requirements of
any applicable fire insurance underwriter or rating bureau, and the
recommendations of Lessor's engineers and/or consultants, relating in any
manner to the Premises (including but not limited to matters pertaining to (i)
industrial hygiene, (ii) environmental conditions on, in, under or about the
Premises caused by Lessee, including soil and groundwater conditions, and (iii)
Lessee use, generation, manufacture, production, installation,
maintenance, removal, transportation, storage, spill or release of any
Hazardous Substance or storage tank), now in effect or which may hereafter come
into effect, and whether or not reflecting a change in policy from any
previously existing policy. Lessee shall, within five days after receipt of
Lessor's written request, provide Lessor with copies of all documents and
information, including, but not limited to, permits, registrations, manifests,
applications, reports and certificates, evidencing Lessee's compliance with any
Applicable Law specified by Lessor, and shall immediately upon receipt, notify
Lessor in writing (with copies of any documents involved) of any threatened or
actual claim, notice, citation, warning, complaint report pertaining to or
involving failure by Lessee or the Premises to comply with Applicable Law.
6.4 INSPECTION; COMPLIANCE. Lessor and Lessor's Lender(s) as defined in
Paragraph 8.3(a)) shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time in the
case of an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times, for the purpose of
inspecting the condition of the Premises and for verifying compliance by Lessee
with this Lease and all Applicable Laws (as defined in Paragraph 6.3), and to
employ experts and/or consultants in connection therewith and to advise Lessor
with respect to Lessee's activities, including but not limited to the
installation, operation, use, monitoring, maintenance, or removal of Hazardous
Substance or storage tank on or from the Premises. The costs and expenses of any
such inspections shall be paid by the party requesting same, unless a Default or
Breach of this Lease, violation of Applicable Law, or a contamination, caused or
materially contributed to by Lessee is found to exist or be imminent, or unless
the inspection is requested or ordered by a governmental authority as the result
of any such existing or imminent violation or contamination caused by Lessee. In
any such case, Lessee shall upon request reimburse Lessor or Lessor's Lender, as
the case may be, for the costs and expenses of such inspections.

under Paragraph 7.1 hereof. It is the intention of the Parties that the terms of
this Lease govern the respective obligations of the Parties as to maintenance
and repair of the Premises. Lessee and Lessor expressly waive the benefit of any
statute now or hereafter in effect to the extent it is inconsistent with the
terms of this Lease with respect to, or which affords Lessee the right to make
repairs at the expense of Lessor or to terminate this Lease by reason of any
needed repairs.

Utility Installations made by lessee that are not yet owned by Lessor as defined
in Paragraph 7.4(a). Lessee shall not make any Alterations or Utility
Installations in, on, under or about the Premises without Lessor's prior written
consent. Lessee may, however, make non-structural Utility Installations to the
interior of the Premises (excluding the roof), as long as they are not visible
from the outside, do not involve puncturing, relocating or removing the roof or
any existing walls, and the cumulative cost thereof during the term of this
Lease as extended does not exceed $25,000.
(b) CONSENT. Any Alterations or Utility Installations that Lessee shall
desire to make and which require the consent of the Lessor shall be presented to
Lessor in written form with proposed detailed plans. All consents given by
Lessor, whether by virtue of Paragraph 7.3(a) or by subsequent specific consent,
shall be deemed conditioned upon: (i) Lessee's acquiring all applicable permits
required by governmental authorities, (ii) the furnishing of copies of such
permits together with a copy of the plans and specifications for the Alteration
or Utility Installation to Lessor prior to commencement of the work thereon, and
(iii) the compliance by Lessee with all conditions of said permits in a prompt
and expeditious manner. Any Alterations or Utility Installations by Lessee
during the term of this Lease shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner,
with good and sufficient materials, and in compliance with all Applicable Law.
Lessee shall promptly upon completion thereof furnish Lessor with as-built plans
and specifications therefor. Lessor may (but without obligation to do so)
condition its consent to any requested Alteration or Utility Installation that
costs $10,000 or more upon Lessee's providing Lessor with a lien and completion
bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost of such
Alteration or Utility Installation and/or upon Lessee posting an additional
Security Deposit with Lessor under Paragraph 36 hereof.
(c) INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or
materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for

materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest therein. Lessee shall
give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the commencement of
any work in, on or about the Premises, and Lessor shall have the right to post
notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises as provided by law. If
Lessee shall, in good faith, contest the validity of any such lien, claim or
demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole expense defend and protect itself, Lessor
and the Premises against the same and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse
judgment that may be rendered thereon before the enforcement thereof against the
Lessor or the Premises. If Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor
a surety bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to one and one-half
times the amount of such contested lien claim or demand indemnifying Lessor
against liability for the same, as required by law for the holding of the
Premises free from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition Lessor may
require Lessee to pay Lessor's reasonable attorney's fees and costs in
participating in such action if Lessor shall reasonably decide it is to its best
interest to do so.

may, at any time and at its option, elect in writing to Lessee to be the owner
of all or any specified part of the Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations. Unless otherwise instructed per subparagraph 7.4(b) hereof, all
Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations shall, at the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease, become the property of Lessor and remain upon

removal at any time of all or any part of any Lessee Owned Alterations or
Utility Installations made without the required consent of Lessor.

end of the last day of the Lease term or any earlier termination date, with all
of the improvements, parts and surfaces thereof clean and free of debris and in

all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis
providing single limit coverage in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per
occurrence with an "Additional Insured-Managers or Lessors of Premises"
Endorsement and contain the "Amendment of the Pollution Exclusion" for damage
caused by heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile fire. The policy shall not contain
any intra-insured exclusions as between insured persons or organizations, but
shall include coverage for liability assumed under this Lease as an "Insured
Contract" for the performance of Lessee's indemnity obligations under this
Lease. The limits of said insurance required by this Lease as carried by Lessee
shall not, however, limit the liability of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any
obligation hereunder. All insurance to be carried by Lessee shall be primary to
and not contributory with any similar insurance carried by Lessor, whose
insurance shall be considered excess insurance only.
(b) CARRIED BY LESSOR. In the event Lessor is the Insuring Party,
Lessor shall also maintain liability insurance described in Paragraph 8.2(a),
above, in addition to, and not in lieu of, the insurance required to be
maintained by Lessee. Lessee shall not be named as an additional insured
therein.

8.3 PROPERTY INSURANCE -- BUILDING, IMPROVEMENTS AND RENTAL VALUE.
(a) BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENTS. The Insuring Party shall obtain and
keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of
Lessor, with loss payable to Lessor and to the holders of any mortgages, deeds
of trust or ground leases on the Premises ("LENDER(S)"), insuring loss or
damage to the Premises. The amount of such insurance shall be equal to the
full replacement cost of the Premises, as the same shall exist from time to
time, or the amount required by Lenders, but in no event more than the
commercially reasonable and available insurable value thereof if, by reason of
the unique nature or age of the improvements involved, such latter amount is
less than full replacement cost. If Lessor is the Insuring Party, however,
Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations shall be insured by Lessee
under Paragraph 8.4 rather than by Lessor. If the coverage is available and
commercially appropriate, such policy or policies shall insure against all
risks of direct physical loss or damage (except the perils of flood and/or
earthquake unless required by a Lender), including coverage for any additional
costs resulting from debris removal and reasonable amounts of coverage for the
enforcement of any ordinance or law regulating the reconstruction or
replacement of any undamaged sections of the Premises required to be demolished
or removed by reason of the enforcement of any building, zoning, safety or land
use laws as the result of a covered cause of loss. Said policy or policies
shall also contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any coinsurance
clause, waiver of subrogation, and initiation guard protection causing an
increase in the annual property insurance coverage amount by a factor of not
less than the adjusted U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index for All
Urban Consumers for the city nearest to where the Premises are located. If such
insurance coverage has a deductible clause, the deductible amount shall not
exceed $1,000 per occurrence, and Lessee shall be liable for such deductible
amount in the event of an Insured Loss, as defined in Paragraph 9.1(c).
(b) RENTAL VALUE. The Insuring Party shall, in addition, obtain and
keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of
Lessor, with loss payable to Lessor and Lender(s), insuring the loss of the
full rental and other charges payable by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease for
one (1) year (including all real estate taxes, insurance costs, and any
scheduled rental increases). Said insurance shall provide that in the event the
Lease is terminated by reason of an insured loss, the period of indemnity for
such coverage shall be extended beyond the date of the completion of repairs or
replacement of the Premises, to provide for one full year's loss of rental
revenues from the date of any such loss. Said insurance shall contain an agreed
valuation provision in lieu of any coinsurance clause, and the amount of
coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the projected rental income,
property taxes, insurance premium costs and other expenses, if any, otherwise
payable by Lessee, for the next twelve (12) month period. Lessee shall be
liable for any deductible amount in the event of such loss.
(c) ADJACENT PREMISES. If the Premises are part of a larger building,
or if the Premises are part of a group of buildings owned by Lessor which are
adjacent to the Premises, the Lessee shall pay for any increase in the premiums
for the property insurance of such building or buildings if said increase is
caused by Lessee's acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises.
(d) TENANT'S IMPROVEMENTS. If the Lessor is the Insuring Party, the
Lessor shall not be required to insure Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations unless the item in question has become the property of Lessor
under the terms of this Lease. If Lessee is the Insuring Party, the policy
carried by Lessee under this Paragraph 8.3 shall insure Lessee Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations.
8.4 LESSEE'S PROPERTY INSURANCE. Subject to the requirements of Paragraph
8.5, Lessee at its cost shall either by separate policy or, at Lessor's option,
by endorsement to a policy already carried, maintain insurance coverage on all
of Lessee's personal property, Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations in, on, or about the Premises similar in coverage to that carried
by the Insuring Party under Paragraph 8.3. Such Insurance shall be full
replacement cost coverage with a deductible of not to exceed $1,000 per
occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by Lessee for
the replacement of personal property or the restoration of Lessee Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations. Lessee shall be the Insuring Party with
respect to the insurance required by this Paragraph 8.4 and shall provide
Lessor with written evidence that such insurance is in force.
8.5 INSURANCE POLICIES. Insurance required hereunder shall be in
companies duly licensed to transact business in the state where the Premises
are located, and maintaining during the policy term a "General Policyholders
Rating" of at least B+, V, or such other rating as may be required by a Lender
having a lien on the Premises, as set forth in the most current issue of
"Best's Insurance Guide." Lessee shall not do or permit to be done anything
which shall invalidate the insurance policies referred to in this Paragraph 8.
If Lessee is the Insuring Party, Lessee shall cause to be delivered to Lessor
certified copies of policies of such insurance or certificates evidencing the
existence and amounts of such insurance with the insureds and loss payable
clauses as required by this Lease. No such policy shall be cancellable or
subject to modification except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Lessor. Lessee shall at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such
policies, furnish Lessor with evidence of renewals or "Insurance binders"
evidencing renewal thereof, or Lessor may order such insurance and charge the
cost thereof to Lessee, which amount shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor upon
demand. If the Insuring Party shall fail to procure and maintain the insurance
required to be carried by the Insuring Party under this Paragraph 8, the other
Party may, but shall not be required to, procure and maintain the same, but at
Lessee's expense.
8.6 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Without affecting any other rights or
remedies, Lessee and Lessor ("WAIVING PARTY") each hereby release and relieve
the other, and waive their entire right to recover damages (whether in contract
or in tort) against the other, for loss of or damage to the Waiving Party's
property arising out of or incident to the perils required to be insured
against under Paragraph 8. The effect of such releases and waivers of the right
to recover damages shall not be limited by the amount of insurance carried or
required, or by any deductibles applicable thereto.
8.7 INDEMNITY. Except for Lessor's negligence and/or breach of express
warranties on other provisions of this Lease, Lessee shall indemnify, protect,
defend and hold harmless the Premises, Lessor and its agents, Lessor's master or
ground lessor, partners and Lenders, from and against any and all claims, loss
of rents and/or damages, costs, liens, judgments, penalties, permits, reasonable
attorney's and consultant's fees, expenses and/or liabilities arising out of,
involving, or in dealing with, the occupancy of the Premises by Lessee, the
conduct of Lessee's business, any act, omission or neglect of Lessee, its
agents, contractors, employees or invitees, and out of any Default or Breach by
Lessee in the performance in a timely manner of any obligation on Lessee's part
to be performed under this Lease. The foregoing shall include, but not be
limited to, the defense or pursuit of any claim or any action or proceeding
involved therein, and whether or not (in the case of claims made against Lessor)
litigated and/or reduced to judgment, and whether well founded or not. In case
any action or proceeding be brought against Lessor by reason of any of the
foregoing matters, Lessee upon notice from Lessor shall defend the same at
Lessee's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor shall
cooperate with Lessee in such defense. Lessor need not have first paid any such
claim in order to be so indemnified.
8.8 EXEMPTION OF LESSOR FROM LIABILITY. Lessor shall not be liable for
injury or damage to the person or goods, wares, merchandise or other property of
Lessee, Lessee's employees, contractors, invitees, customers, or any other
person in or about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused by or
results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage,
leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers, wires,
appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other
cause, whether the said injury or damage results from conditions arising upon
the Premises or upon other portions of the building of which the Premises are a
part, or from other sources or places, and regardless of whether the cause of
such damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is accessible or not.
Lessor shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of
any other tenant of Lessor. Notwithstanding Lessor's negligence or breach of
this Lease, Lessor shall under no circumstances be liable for injury to Lessee's
business or for any loss of income or profit thereon.
9. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
9.1 DEFINITIONS.
(a) "PREMISES PARTIAL DAMAGE" shall mean damage or destruction to the
Improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, the repair cost of which damage or destruction is less than 50%
of the then Replacement Cost of the Premises immediately prior to such damage or
destruction, excluding from such calculation the value of the land and Lessee
Owned Alterations and Utility Installations.
(b) "PREMISES TOTAL DESTRUCTION" shall mean damage or destruction to
the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations the
repair cost of which damage or destruction is 50% or more of the then
Replacement Cost of the Premises immediately prior to such damage or
destruction, excluding from such calculation the value of the land and Lessee
Owned Alterations and Utility Installations.
(c) "INSURED LOSS" shall mean damage or destruction to improvements
on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations,
which was caused by an event required to be covered by the insurance described
in Paragraph 8.3(a), irrespective of any deductible amounts or coverage limits
involved.
(d) "REPLACEMENT COST" shall mean the cost to repair or rebuild the
improvements owned by Lessor at the time of the occurrence to their condition
existing immediately prior thereto, including demolition, debris removal and
upgrading required by the operation of applicable building codes, ordinances or
laws, and without deduction for depreciation.
(e) "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE CONDITION" shall mean the occurrence or
discovery of a condition involving the presence of, or a contamination by, a
Hazardous Substance as defined in Paragraph 6.2(a), in, on, or under the
Premises.
9.2 PARTIAL DAMAGE -- INSURED LOSS. If a Premises Partial Damage that is
an Insured Loss occurs, then Lessor shall at Lessor's expense, repair such
damage (but not Lessee's Trade Fixtures or Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect; provided, however, that Lessee shall, at Lessor's
election, make the repair of any damage or destruction the total cost to repair
of which is $10,000 or less, and, in such event, Lessor shall make the
insurance proceeds available to Lessee on a reasonable basis for that purpose.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the required insurance was not in force or
the insurance proceeds are not sufficient to effect such repair, the Insuring
Party shall promptly contribute the shortage in proceeds (except as to the
deductible which is Lessee's responsibility) as and when required to complete
said repairs. In the event, however, the shortage in proceeds was due to the
fact that, by reason of the unique nature of the improvements, full replacement
cost insurance coverage was not commercially reasonable and available, Lessor
shall have no obligation to pay for the shortage in insurance proceeds or to
fully restore the unique aspects of the Premises unless Lessee provides Lessor
with the funds to cover same, or adequate assurance thereof, within ten (10)
days following receipt of written notice of such shortage and request therefor.
If Lessor receives said funds or adequate assurance thereof within said ten
(10) day period, the party responsible for making the repairs shall complete
them as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall remain in full force
and effect. If Lessor does not receive such funds or assurance within said
period, Lessor may nevertheless elect by written notice to Lessee within ten
(10) days thereafter to make such restoration and repair as is commercially
reasonable with Lessor paying any shortage in proceeds in which case this Lease
shall remain in full force and effect. If in such case Lessor does not so
elect, then this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days following the occurrence
of the damage or destruction. Unless otherwise agreed, Lessee shall in no event
have any right to reimbursement from Lessor to
<PAGE> 5
any funds contributed by Lessee to repair any such damage or destruction.
Premises Partial Damage due to flood or earthquake shall be subject to Paragraph
9.3 rather than Paragraph 9.2, notwithstanding that there may be some insurance
coverage, but the net proceeds of any such insurance shall be made available for
the repairs if made by either Party.
9.3 PARTIAL DAMAGE -- UNINSURED LOSS. If a Premises Partial Damage that
is not an Insured Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act of
Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the repairs at Lessee's expense and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but subject to Lessor's
rights under Paragraph 13), Lessor may at Lessor's option, either: (i) repair
such damage as soon as reasonably possible as Lessor's expense, in which event
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) give written notice
to Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the
occurrence of such damage of Lessor's desire to terminate this Lease as of the
date sixty (60) days following the giving of such notice. In the event
Lessor elects to give such notice of Lessor's intention to terminate this
Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after the receipt of
such notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay for
the repair of such damage totally at Lessee's expense and without
reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with the required funds
or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days following Lessee's
said commitment. In such event this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such repairs as soon as reasonably
possible and the required funds are available. If Lessee does not give such
notice and provide the funds or assurance thereof within the times specified
above, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice
of termination.
9.4 TOTAL DESTRUCTION. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a
Premises Total Destruction occurs (including any destruction required by any
authorized public authority), this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days
following the date of such Premises Total Destruction, whether or not the
damage or destruction is an Insured Loss or was caused by a negligent or
willful act of Lessee. In the event, however, that the damage or destruction
was caused by Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to recover Lessor's damages
from Lessee except as released and waived in Paragraph 8.6.
9.5 DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM. If at any time during the last six (6)
months of the term of the Lease there is damage for which the cost to repair
exceeds one (1) month's Base Rent, whether or not an Insured Loss, Lessor may,
at Lessor's option, terminate this Lease effective sixty (60) days following
the date of occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Lessee of
Lessor's election to do so within thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence
of such damage. Provided, however, if Lessee at that time has an exercisable
option to extent this Lease or to purchase the Premises, then Lessee may
preserve this Lease by, within twenty (20) days following the occurrence of the
damage, or before the expiration of the time provided in such option for its
exercise, whichever is earlier ("EXERCISE PERIOD"), (i) exercising such option
and (ii) providing Lessor with any shortage in insurance proceeds (or adequate
assurance thereof) needed to make the repairs. If Lessee duly exercises such
option during said Exercise Period and provides Lessor with funds (or adequate
assurance thereof) to cover any shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor shall,
at Lessor's expense repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If Lessee fails to exercise such
option and provide such funds or assurance during said Exercise Period, then
Lessor may at Lessor's option terminate this Lease as of the expiration of said
sixty (60) day period following the occurrence of such damage by giving written
notice to Lessee of Lessor's election to do so within ten (10) days after the
expiration of the Exercise Period, notwithstanding any term of provision in the
grant of option to the contrary.
9.6 ABATEMENT OF RENT; LESSEE'S REMEDIES.
(a) In the event of damage described in Paragraph 9.2 (PARTIAL
DAMAGE -- INSURED), whether or not Lessor or Lessee repairs or restores the
Premises, the Base Rent, Real Property Taxes, insurance premiums, and other
charges, if any, payable by Lessee hereunder for the period during which such
damage, its repair or the restoration continues (not to exceed the period for
which rental value insurance is required under Paragraph 8.3(b)), shall be
abated in proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is
impaired. Except for abatement of Base Rent, Real Property Taxes, insurance
premiums, and other charges, if any, as aforesaid, all other obligations of
Lessee hereunder shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessee shall have no claim
against Lessor for any damage suffered by reason of any such repair or
restoration.
(b) If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises
under the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence, in a
substantial and meaningful way, the repair or restoration of the Premises within
ninety (90) days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at any time
prior to the commencement of such repair or restoration, give written notice to
Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice of Lessee's election
to terminate this Lease on a date not less than sixty (60) days following the
giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice to Lessor and such Lenders
and such repair or restoration is not commenced within thirty (30) days after
receipt of such notice, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in
said notice. If Lessor or a Lender commences the repair or restoration of the
Premises within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect. "COMMENCE" as used in this Paragraph shall
mean either the unconditional authorization of the preparation of the required
plans, or the beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever first
occurs.
9.7 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE CONDITIONS. If a Hazardous Substance Condition
occurs, unless Lessee has caused it (in which case Lessee shall make the
investigation and remediation thereof required by Applicable Law and this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect, but subject to Lessor's rights under
Paragraph 13), Lessor may at Lessor's option either (i) investigate and
remediate such Hazardous Substance Condition, if required, as soon as reasonably
possible at Lessor's expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect, or (ii) if the estimated cost to investigate and remediate
such condition exceeds twelve (12) times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000,
whichever is greater, give written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days
after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such Hazardous
Substance Condition of Lessor's desire to terminate this Lease as of the date
sixty (60) days following the giving of such notice. In the event Lessor elects
to give such notice of Lessor's intention to terminate this Lease, Lessee shall
have the right within ten (10) days after the receipt of such notice to give
written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay for the investigation and
remediation of such Hazardous Substance Condition totally at Lessee's expense
except to the extent of an amount equal to twelve (12) times the then monthly
Base Rent or $100,000, whichever is greater. Lessee shall provide Lessor with
the funds required of Lessee or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty
(30) days following Lessee's said commitment. In such event this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such
investigation and remediation as soon as reasonably possible and the required
funds are available. If Lessee does not give such notice and provide the
required funds or assurance thereof within the times specified above, this Lease
shall terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice of termination. If a
Hazardous Substance Condition occurs for which Lessee is not legally
responsible, there shall be abatement of Lessee's obligations under this Lease
to the same extent as provided in Paragraph 9.6(a) for a period of not to exceed
twelve (12) months.
9.8 TERMINATION -- ADVANCE PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this Lease
pursuant to this Paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be made concerning
advance Base Rent and any other advance payments made by Lessee to Lessor.
Lessor shall, in addition, return to Lessee so much of Lessee's Security
Deposit as has not been, or is not then required to be, used by Lessor under
the terms of this Lease.
9.9 WAIVE STATUTES. Lessor and Lessee agree that the terms of this Lease
shall govern the effect of any damage to or destruction of the Premises with
respect to the termination of this Lease and hereby waive the provisions of any
present or future statute to the extent inconsistent herewith.
10. REAL PROPERTY TAXES.
10.1 (a) PAYMENT OF TAXES. Lessee shall pay the Real Property Taxes, as
defined in Paragraph 10.2, applicable to the Premises during the term of this
Lease. Subject to Paragraph 10.1(b), all such payments shall be made at least
ten (10) days prior to the delinquency date of the applicable installment.
Lessee shall promptly furnish Lessor with satisfactory evidence that such taxes
have been paid. If any such taxes to be paid be Lessee shall cover any period
of time prior to or after the expiration or earlier termination of the term
hereof, Lessee's share of such taxes shall be equitably prorated to cover only
the period of time within the tax fiscal year this Lease is in effect, and
Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for any overpayment after such proration if
Lessee shall fail to pay any Real Property Taxes required by this Lease to be
paid by Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to pay the same, and Lessee shall
reimburse Lessor therefor upon demand.
(b) ADVANCE PAYMENT. In order to incur payment when due and before
delinquency of any or all Real Property Taxes, Lessor reserves the right at
Lessor's option, to estimate the current Real Property Taxes applicable to the
Premises, and to require such current year's Real Property Taxes to be paid in
advance to Lessor by Lessee, either: (i) in a lump sum amount equal to the
Installment due, prior to the applicable delinquency date, or (ii) only after a
default monthly in advance with the payment of the Base Rent. If Lessor elects
to require payment monthly in advance, the monthly payment shall be that equal
monthly amount which, over the number of months remaining before the month in
which the applicable tax installment would become delinquent (and without
interest thereon), would provide a fund large enough to fully discharge before
delinquency the estimated installment taxes to be paid. When the actual amount
of the applicable tax bill is known, the amount of such equal monthly advance
payment shall be adjusted as required to provide the fund needed to pay the
applicable taxes before delinquency. If the amounts paid to Lessor by Lessee
under the provisions of this Paragraph are insufficient to discharge the
obligations of Lessee to pay such Real Property Taxes as the same become due,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor upon Lessor's demand, such additional sums as are
necessary to pay such obligations. All moneys paid to Lessor under this
Paragraph may be intermingled with other moneys of Lessor and shall not bear
interest. In the event of a Breach by Lessee in the performance of the
obligations of Lessee under this Lease, then any balance of funds paid to
Lessor under the provisions of this Paragraph may, subject to proration as
provided in Paragraph 10.1(a) at the option of Lessor, be treated as an
additional Security Deposit under Paragraph 5.
10.2 DEFINITION OF "REAL PROPERTY TAXES." As used herein the term "REAL
PROPERTY TAXES" shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment,
general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial
rental tax, improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance,
personal income or estate taxes) imposed upon the Premises by any authority
having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, state or
federal government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street,
drainage or other improvement district thereof, levied against any legal or
equitable interest of Lessor in the Premises or in the real property of which
the Premises are a part, Lessor's right to rent or other income therefrom,
and/or Lessor's business of leasing the Premises. The term "REAL PROPERTY
TAXES" shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge, or any
increase thereon imposed by reason of events occurring, or changes in
applicable law taking effect, during the term of this Lease, including but not
limited to a change in the ownership of the Premises or in the improvements
thereon, the execution of this Lease, or any modification, amendment or
transfer thereof, and whether or not contemplated by the Parties.
10.3 JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the Premises are not separately assessed,
Lessee's liability shall be an equitable proportion of the Real Property Taxes
on all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel assessed,
such proportion to be determined by Lessor from the respective valuation
<PAGE> 6
assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other information as may be
reasonably available. Lessor's reasonable determination thereof, in good faith,
shall be conclusive.
10.4 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes
assessed against and levied upon Lessee Owned Alterations, Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal
property of Lessee contained in the Premises or elsewhere. When possible, Lessee
shall cause its Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal
property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor,
if any of Lessee's said personal property shall be assessed with Lessor's real
property. Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessee within ten
(10) days after receipt of a written statement setting forth the taxes
applicable to Lessee's property or, at Lessor's option, as provided in Paragraph
10.1(b).
11. UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone, trash disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the
Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not
separately metered to Lessee, Lessee shall pay a reasonable proportion, to be
determined by Lessor of all charges jointly metered with other premises.
12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
12.1 LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED.
(a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign,
transfer, mortgage or otherwise transfer or encumber (collectively,
"ASSIGNMENT") or sublet all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in
the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent given under and subject to
the terms on Paragraph 36.
(b) A change in the control of Lessee shall constitute an assignment
requiring Lessor's consent. The transfer, on a cumulative basis, of twenty-five
percent (25%) or more of the voting control of Lessee shall constitute a change
in control for this purpose.
(c) The involvement of Lessee or its assets in any transaction, or
series of transactions (by way of merger, sale, acquisition, financing,
refinancing transfer, leveraged buy-out or otherwise), whether or not a formal
assignment or hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee's assets occurs, which
results of will result in a reduction of the Net Worth of Lessee, as hereinafter
defined, by an amount equal to or greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of such
Net Worth of Lessee as it was represented to Lessor at the time of the execution
by Lessor of this Lease or at the time of the most recent assignment to which
Lessor has consented, or as it exists immediately prior to said transaction or
transactions constituting such reduction, at whichever time said Net Worth of
Lessee was or is greater, shall be considered an assignment of this Lease by
Lessee to which Lessor may reasonably withhold its consent. "NET WORTH OF
LESSEE" for purposes of this Lease shall be the net worth of Lessee (excluding
any guarantors) established under generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied.
(d) An assignment of subletting of Lessee's interest in this Lease
without Lessor's specific prior written consent shall, at Lessor's option, be
Default curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1(c), or a noncurable Breach
without the necessity of any notice and grace period. If Lessor elects to treat
such unconsented to assignment or subletting as a noncurable Breach, Lessor
shall have the right to either: (i) terminate this Lease, or (ii) upon thirty
(30) days written notice ("Lessor's Notice"), increase the monthly Base Rent to
fair market rental value or one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Base Rent then
in effect, whichever is greater. Pending determination of the new fair market
rental value, if disputed by Lessee, Lessee shall pay the amount set forth in
Lessor's Notice, with any overpayment credited against the next installment(s)
of Base Rent coming due, and any underpayment for the period retroactively to
the effective date of the adjustment being due and payable immediately upon the
determination thereof. Further in the event of such Breach and market value
adjustment, (i) the purchase price of any option to purchase the Premises held
by Lessee shall be subject to similar adjustment to the then fair market value
(without the Lease being considered an encumbrance or any deduction for
depreciation or obsolescence, and considering the Premises at its highest and
best use and in good condition), or one hundred ten percent (110%) of the price
previously in effect, whichever is greater, (ii) any index-oriented rental or
price adjustment formulas contained in this Lease shall be adjusted to require
that the base index be determined with reference to the index applicable to the
time of such adjustment, and (iii) any fixed rental adjustments scheduled during
the remainder of the Lease term shall be increased in the same ratio as the new
market rental bears to the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the market
value adjustment.
(e) Lessee's remedy for any breach of this Paragraph 12.1 by Lessor
shall be limited to compensatory damages and injunctive relief.
12.2 TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
(a) Any assignment or subletting to which Lessor's consent is
required, shall not: (i) be effective without the express written assumption by
such assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, (ii)
release Lessee of any obligations hereunder, or (iii) alter the primary
liability of Lessee for the payment of Base Rent and other sums due Lessor
hereunder or for the performance of any other obligations to be performed by
Lessee under this Lease.
(b) Lessor may accept any rent or performance of Lessee's obligations
from any person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval of a
assignment. Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment
nor the acceptance of any rent or performance shall constitute a waiver or
estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the Default or Breach by
Lessee of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease.
(c) The consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting shall not
constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by Lessee or to
any subsequent or successive assignment or subletting by the sublessee. However,
Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and assignment of the sublease or
any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Lessee or anyone else
liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining their consent, and such
action shall not relieve such persons from liability under this Lease or
sublease.
(d) In the event of any Default or Breach of Lessee's obligations
under this Lease, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee, any Guarantor or
any one else responsible for the performance of the Lessee's obligations under
this Lease, including the sublessee, without first exhausting Lessee's remedies
against any other person or entity responsible therefor to Lessor, or any
security held by Lessor or Lessee.
(e) Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting shall be
in writing, accompanied by information relevant to Lessor's determination to the
financial and operational responsibility and appropriateness of the proposed
assignee or sublessee, including but not limited to the intended and/or required
modification of the Premises, if any. Lessee agrees to provide Lessor with such
other or additional information and/or documentation as may be reasonably
requested by Lessor.
(f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by reason
of accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed for the
benefit of Lessor, to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each
and every term, covenant, condition and obligation herein be observed or
performed by Lessee during the term of said assignment or sublease, other than
such obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions of an
assignment or sublease to which Lessor has specifically consented in writing.
12.3 ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SUBLETTING. The
following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of or
any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases under
this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:
(a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of Lessee's
interest in all rentals and incoming arising from any sublease of all or a
portion of the Premises heretofore or hereafter made by Lessee, and Lessor may
collect such rent and income and apply same toward Lessee's obligations under
this Lease; provided, however, that until a Breach (as defined in Paragraph
13.1) shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations under the Lease
Lessee may, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, receive, collect and
enjoy the rents accruing under such sublease. Lessor shall not, by reason of
this or any other assignment of such sublease to Lessor, nor by reason of the
collection of the rents from a sublessee, be deemed liable to the sublessee for
any failure of Lessee to perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligations to
such sublessee under such sublease. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and
directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating
that a Breach exists in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this
Lease, to pay to Lessor the rents and other charges due and to become due under
the sublease. Sublessee shall rely upon such statement and request from Lessor
and shall pay such rents and other charges to Lessor without any obligation or
right to inquire as to whether such Breach exists and notwithstanding any notice
from or claim from Lessee to the contrary. Lessee shall have no right or claim
against said sublessee or, until the Breach has been cured, against Lessor, for
any such rents and other charges so paid by said sublessee to Lessor.
(b) In the event of a Breach by Lessee in the performance of its
obligations under this Lease, Lessor, at its option and without any obligation
do so, may require any sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor
shall undertake the obligations of the sublessor under such sublease the time of
the exercise of said option to the expiration of such sublease; provided,
however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit
paid by such sublessee to such sublessor or for any other prior Defaults or
Breaches of such sublessor under such sublease.
(c) Any matter or thing requiring the consent of the sublessor
under a sublease shall also require the consent of Lessor herein.
(d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part of
the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.
(e) Lessor shall deliver a copy of any notice of Default or Breach by
Lessee to the sublessee, who shall have the right to cure the Default of Lessee
within the grace period, if any, specified in such notice. The sublessee shall
have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee for such
Defaults cured by the sublessee.
13. DEFAULT; BREACH; REMEDIES.
13.1 DEFAULT; BREACH. Lessor and Lessee agree that if an attorney is
consulted by Lessor in connection with a Lessee Default or Breach (as herein
defined), $350.00 is a reasonable minimum sum per such occurrence for legal
services and costs in the preparation and service of a notice of Default and
that Lessor may include the cost of such services and costs in said notice as
rent due and payable to cure said Default. A "DEFAULT" is defined as a failure
by the Lessee to observe, comply with or perform any of the terms, covenants,
conditions or rules applicable to Lessee under this Lease. A "Breach
<PAGE> 7
is defined as the occurrence of any one or more of the following Defaults, and,
where a grace period for cure after notice is specified herein, the failure by
Lessee to cure such Default prior to the expiration of the applicable grace
period, shall entitle Lessor to pursue the remedies set forth in Paragraphs
13.2 and/or 13.3:
(a) The vacating of the Premises without the intention to reoccupy
same, or the abandonment of the Premises.
(b) Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the failure
by Lessee to make any payment of Base Rent or any other monetary payment
required to be made by Lessee hereunder, whether to Lessor or to a third party,
as and when due, the failure by Lessee to provide Lessor with reasonable
evidence of insurance or surety bond required under this Lease, or the failure
of Lessee to fulfill any obligation under this Lease which endangers or
threatens life or property, where such failure continues for a period of three
(3) days following written notice thereof by or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee.
(c) Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the
failure by Lessee to provide Lessor with reasonable written evidence (in duly
executed original form, if applicable) of (i) compliance with Applicable Law per
Paragraph 8.3, (ii) the inspection, maintenance and service contracts required
under Paragraph 7.1(b), (iii) the recision of an unauthorized assignment or
subletting per Paragraph 12.1(b), (iv) a Tenancy Statement per Paragraphs 16 or
37, (v) the subordination or non-subordination of this Lease per Paragraph 30,
(vi) the execution of any document requested under Paragraph 42 (easements), or
(viii) any other documentation or information which Lessor may reasonably
require of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, where any such failure
continues for a period of ten (10) days following written notice by or on
behalf of Lessor to Lessee.
(d) A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants, conditions or
provisions of this Lease, or of the rules adopted under Paragraph 40 hereof,
that are to be observed, complied with or performed by Lessee, other than
those described in subparagraphs (a), (b) or (c), above, where such Default
continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by or
on behalf of Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of
Lessee's Default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably
required for its cure, then it shall not be deemed to be a Breach of this Lease
by Lessee if Lessee commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
(e) The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) The making by
lessee of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(ii) Lessee's becoming a "debtor" as defined in 11 U.S.C. Section 101 or any
successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against
Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (iii) the appointment of
a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's
assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where
possession is not restored to Lessee within thirty (30) days; or (iv) the
attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of
Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease,
where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; provided,
however, in the event that any provision of this subparagraph (a) is contrary
to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect, and not
affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
(f) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given to
Lessor by Lessee or any Guarantor of Lessee's obligations hereunder was
materially false.
13.2 REMEDIES. If Lessee fails to perform any affirmative duty or
obligation of Lessee under this Lease, within ten (10) days after written
notice to Lessee (or in case of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may at
its option (but without obligation to do so), perform such duty or obligation
on Lessee's behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonably
required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or
approvals. The costs and expenses of any such performance by Lessor shall be
due and payable by Lessee to Lessor upon invoice therefor. If any check given
to Lessor by Lessee shall not be honored by the bank upon which it is drawn,
Lessor, at its option, may require all future payments to be made under this
Lease by Lessee to be made only by cashier's check. In the event of a Breach of
this Lease by Lessee, as defined in Paragraph 13.1, with or without further
notice or demand, and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or
remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such Breach, Lessor may:
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any
lawful means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate and
Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such
event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the worth at the time
of the award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of
termination; (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 the Lessee proves could have
been reasonably avoided; (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 the Lessee proves could be
reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for
all the detriment proximately caused by the Lessee's failure to perform its
obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be
likely to result therefrom, including but not limited to the cost of recovering
possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary
renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, and that
portion of the leasing commission paid by Lessor applicable to the unexpired
term of this Lease. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in
provision (iii) of the prior sentence 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%). Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages
caused by Lessee's Default or Breach of this Lease shall not waive Lessor's
right to recover damages under this Paragraph. If termination of this Lease is
obtained through the provisional remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have
the right to recover in such proceeding the unpaid rent and damages are
recoverable therein, or Lessor may reserve therein the right to recover all or
any part thereof in a separate suit for such rent and/or damages. If a notice
and grace period required under subparagraphs 13.1(b) (c) or (d) was not
previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit, as the
case may be, given to Lessee under any statute authorizing the forfeiture of
leases for unlawful detainer shall also constitute the applicable notice for
grace period purposes required by subparagraphs 13.1(b), (c) or (d). In such
case, the applicable grace period under subparagraphs 13.1(b), (c) or (d) and
under the unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently after the one such
statutory notice, and the failure of Lessee to cure the Default within the
greater of the two such grace periods shall constitute both an unlawful detainer
and a Breach of this Lease entitling Lessor to the remedies provided for in this
Lease and/or by said statute.
(b) Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession in effect
(in California under California Civil Code Section 1951.4) after Lessee's
Breach and abandonment and recover the rent as it becomes due, provided Lessee
has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. Sub-
Paragraphs 12 and 36 for the limitations on assignment and subletting which
limitations Lessee and Lessor agree are reasonable. Acts of maintenance or
preservation, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver
to protect the Lessor's interest under the Lease, shall not constitute
termination of the Lessee's right to possession.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor
under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are
located.
(d) The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the
termination of Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from
liability under any indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring
or accruing during the term hereof or by reason of Lessee's occupancy of the
Premises.
13.3 INDUCEMENT RECAPTURE IN EVENT OF BREACH. Any agreement by Lessor for
free or abated rent or other charges applicable to the Premises, or the giving
or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or other bonus, inducement or
consideration for Lessee's entering into this Lease, all of which concessions
are hereinafter referred to as "Inducement Provisions," shall be deemed
conditioned upon Lessee's full and faithful performance of all of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed or observed by Lessee
during the term hereof as the same may be extended. Upon occurrence of a Breach
of this Lease by Lessee, as defined in Paragraph 13.1, any such inducement
Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted from this Lease and of no
further force or effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus, inducement or
consideration theretofore abated, given or paid by Lessee under such an
inducement Provision shall be immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor,
and recoverable by Lessor as additional rent due under this Lease,
notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by Lessee. This acceptance by
Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which initiated the operation of this
Paragraph shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of this
Paragraph unless specifically so stated in writing by the Lessor at the time of
such acceptance.
13.4 LATE CHARGES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee
to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs
not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing
and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Lessor by
the terms of any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises.
Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Lessee shall
not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within five (5) days after such
amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue
amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by
Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a
waiver of Lessee's Default Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor
prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted
hereunder. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not
collected, for three (3) consecutive installments of Base Rent, then
notwithstanding Paragraph ?? or any other provision of this Lease to the
contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor's option, become due and payable quarterly
in advance.
13.5 BREACH BY LESSOR. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease
unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required
to be performed by Lessor not to exceed thirty (30) days after receipt by
Lessor, and by the holders of any ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust
covering the Premises whose name and address shall have been furnished Lessee in
writing for such purposes, of written notice specifying wherein such obligation
of Lessor has not been performed; provided, however, that the nature of Lessor's
obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days after such notice are
reasonably required for its performance, then Lessor shall be in breach of this
Lease if performance is commenced within such thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently pursued to completion.
14. CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the
power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of ?? power
(all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as
to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes
<PAGE> 8
title or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than ten percent (10%) of
the floor area of the Premises, or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
land area not occupied by any building, is taken by condemnation, Lessee may, at
Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing within ten (10) days after Lessor
shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such
notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority shall have taken
possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes
such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this lease in accordance with the
foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of
the Premises remaining, except that the Base Rent shall be reduced in the same
proportion as the rentable floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total
rentable floor area of the building located on the Premises. No reduction of
Base Rent shall occur if the only portion of the Premises taken is land on which
there is no building. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the
Premises under the power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of
the exercise of such power shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award
shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for
the taking of the fee, or as severance damages; provided, however that Lessee
shall be entitled to any compensation separately awarded to Lessee for Lessee's
relocation expenses and/or loss of Lessee's Trade Fixtures. In the event that
this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall in the
extent of the net severance damages received, over and above the legal and other
expenses incurred by Lessor in the condemnation matter, repair any damage to the
Premises caused by such condemnation, except to the extent that Lessee has been
reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority. Lessee shall be responsible for
the payment of any amount in excess of such net severance damage required to
complete such repair.
16. TENANCY STATEMENT.
16.1 Each Party (as "RESPONDING PARTY") shall within ten (10) days after
written notice from the other Party (the "REQUESTING PARTY") execute acknowledge
and deliver to the Requesting Party a statement in writing in form similar to
the then most current "TENANCY STATEMENT" form published by the American
Industrial Real Estate Association, plus such additional information,
confirmation and/or statements as may be reasonably requested by the Requesting
Party.
16.2 If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Premises, any
part thereof, or the building of which the Premises are a part, Lessee and all
Guarantors of Lessee's performance hereunder shall deliver to any potential
lender or purchaser designated by Lessor such financial statements of Lessee and
such Guarantors as may be reasonably required by such lender or purchaser,
including but not limited to Lessee's financial statements for the past three
(3) years. All such financial statements shall be received by Lessor and such
lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be used only for the purpose herein
set forth.
17. LESSOR'S LIABILITY. The term "LESSOR" as used herein shall mean the owner
or owners at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises, or, if there
is a sublease, of the Lessee's interest in the prior lease. In the event of a
transfer of Lessor's title or interest in the Premises or in this Lease, Lessor
shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by credit) any unused
Security Deposit held by Lessor at the time of such transfer or assignment.
Except as provided in Paragraph 15, upon such transfer or assignment and
delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid, the prior Lessor shall be
relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations and/or covenants under
this Lease thereafter to be performed by the Lessor. Subject to the foregoing,
the obligations and/or covenants in this Lease to be performed by the Lessor
shall be binding only upon the Lessor as hereinabove defined.
18. SEVERABILITY. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any
other provision hereof.
19. INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS. Any monetary payment due Lessor
hereunder, other than late charges, not received by Lessor within thirty (30)
days following the date on which it was due, shall bear interest from the
thirty-first (31st) day after it was due at the rate of 12% per annum, but not
exceeding the maximum rate allowed by law, in addition to the late charge
provided for in Paragraph 13.4.
20. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of
all obligations to be performed or observed by the Parties under this Lease.
21. RENT DEFINED. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the terms
of this Lease are deemed to be rent.
22. NO PRIOR OR OTHER AGREEMENTS; BROKER DISCLAIMER. This Lease contains all
agreements between the Parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein and
no other prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding shall be effective.
Lessor and Lessee each represents and warrants to the Broker that it has made,
and is relying solely upon, its own investigation as to the nature, quality,
character and financial responsibility of the other Party to the Lease and as to
the nature, quality and character of the Premises. Brokers have no
responsibility with respect thereto or with respect to any default breach hereof
by either Party.
23. NOTICES.
23.1 All notices required or permitted by this Lease shall be in writing
and may be delivered in person (by hand or by messenger or courier service) or
may be sent by regular, certified or registered mail or U.S. Postal Service
Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission, and be deemed
sufficiently given if served in a manner specified in this Paragraph 23. The
addressee noted adjacent to a Party's signature on this Lease will be that
Party's address for delivery or mailing of notice purposes. Either Party may by
written notice to the other specify a different address for notifying purposes,
except that upon Lessee's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall
constitute Lessee's address for the purpose of mailing or delivering notices to
Lessee. A copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to Lessor
hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such
addresses as Lessor may from time to time hereafter designate by written notice
to Lessee.
23.2 Any notice sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, shall be deemed given on the date of delivery shown on the receipt or
if no delivery date is shown, the postmark thereon. If sent by regular mail the
notice shall be deemed given forty-eight (48) hours after the same is addressed
as required herein and mailed with postage prepaid. Notices delivered by United
States Express Mail or overnight courier that guarantees next-day delivery shall
be deemed given twenty-four (24) hours after delivery of the same to the United
States Postal Service or courier. If any notice is transferred by facsimile
transmission or similar means, the same shall be deemed served or delivered upon
telephone confirmation of receipt of the transmission thereof, provided a copy
is also delivered via delivery or mail. If notice is received on a Sunday or
legal holiday, it shall be deemed received on the next business day.
24. WAIVERS. No waiver by Lessor of the Default or Breach of any term, covenant
or condition hereof by Lessee, shall be deemed a waiver of any other term,
covenant or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default or Breach by Lessee
of the same or of any other term, covenant or condition of Lessor's consent to,
or approval of, any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining
of Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any subsequent or similar act by Lessee,
or be construed as the basis of an estoppel to enforce the provision or
provisions of this Lease requiring such consent. Regardless of Lessor's
knowledge of a Default or Breach at the time of accepting rent, the acceptance
of rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any previous Default or Breach by
Lessee of any provision hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the
particular rent so accepted. Any payment given Lessor by Lessee may be accepted
by Lessor on account of moneys or damages due Lessor, notwithstanding any
qualifying statements or conditions made by Lessee in connection therewith,
which such statements and/or conditions shall be of no force or effect
whatsoever unless specifically agreed to in writing by Lessor at or before the
time of deposit of such payment.
25. RECORDING. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a short form memorandum Lease for
recording purposes. The Party requesting recordation shall be responsible for
payment of any fees or taxes applicable thereto.
26. NO RIGHT TO HOLDOVER. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the
Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease.
<PAGE> 9
27. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies
at law or in equity.
28. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. All provisions of this Lease to be observed or
performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions.
29. BINDING EFFECT; CHOICE OF LAW. This Lease shall be binding upon the
parties, their personal representatives, successors and assigns and be governed
by the laws of the State in which the Premises are located. Any litigation
between the Parties hereto concerning this Lease shall be initiated in the
county in which the Premises are located.
30. SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; NON-DISTURBANCE.
30.1 SUBORDINATION. This Lease and any Option granted hereby shall be
subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other
hypothecation or security device (collectively, "SECURITY DEVICE"), now or
hereafter placed by Lessor upon the real property of which the Premises are a
part, to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
Lessee agrees that the Lenders holding any such Security Device shall have no
duly, liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor under
this Lease, but that in the event of Lessor's default with respect to any such
obligation, Lessee will give any Lender whose name and address have been
furnished Lessee in writing for such purpose notice of Lessor's default and
allow such Lender thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice for the
cure of said default before invoking any remedies Lessee may have by reason
thereof. If any Lender shall elect to have this Lease and/or any Option granted
hereby superior to the lien of its Security Device and shall give written
notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease and such Options shall be deemed prior to
such Security Device, notwithstanding the relative dates of the documentation
or recordation thereof.
30.2 ATTORNMENT. Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of Paragraph
30.3, Lessee agrees to attorn to a Lender or any other party who acquires
ownership of the Premises by reason of a foreclosure of a Security Device, and
that in the event of such foreclosure, such new owner shall not: (i) be liable
for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events occurring
prior to acquisition of ownership, (ii) be subject to any offsets or defenses
which Lessee might have against any prior lessor, or (iii) be bound by
prepayment of more than one (1) month's rent.
30.3 NON-DISTURBANCE. With respect to Security Devices entered into by
Lessor after the execution of this Lease, Lessee's subordination of this Lease
shall be subject to receiving assurance (a "NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT") from
the Lender that Lessee's possession and this Lease, including any options to
extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long as Lessee is not in
Breach hereof and attorns to the record owner of the Premises.
30.4 SELF-EXECUTING. The agreements contained in this Paragraph 30 shall
be effective without the execution of any further documents; provided, however,
that, upon written request from Lessor or a Lender in connection with a sale,
financing or refinancing of the Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall execute such
further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document any such
subordination or non-subordination, attornment and/or non-disturbance agreement
as is provided for herein.
31. ATTORNEY'S FEES. If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding to
enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party (as
hereafter defined) or Broker in any such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon,
shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees. Such fees may be awarded in
the same suit or recovered in a separate suit, whether or not such action or
proceeding is pursued to decision or judgment. The term, "PREVAILING PARTY"
shall include, without limitation, a Party or Broker who substantially obtains
or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be, whether by compromise,
settlement, judgment, or the abandonment by the other Party or Broker of its
claim or defense. The attorney's fees award shall not be computed in accordance
with any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse all
attorney's fees reasonably incurred. Lessor shall be entitled to attorney's
fees, costs and expenses incurred in the preparation and service of notices of
Default and consultations in connection therewith, whether or not a legal
action is subsequently commenced in connection with such Default or resulting
Breach.
32. LESSOR'S ACCESS; SHOWING PREMISES; REPAIRS. Lessor and Lessor's agents
shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the case of an
emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice for
the purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees,
and making such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises
or to the building of which they are a part, as Lessor may reasonably deem
necessary. Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises or building
any ordinary "For Sale" signs and Lessor may at any time during the last one
hundred twenty (120) days of the term hereof place on or about the Premises any
ordinary "For Lease" signs. All such activities of Lessor shall be without
abatement of rent or liability to Lessee.
33. AUCTIONS. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises without first
having obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard
of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such consent.
34. SIGNS. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises, except that
Lessee may, with Lessor's prior written consent, install (but not on the roof)
such signs as are reasonably required to advertise Lessee's own business. The
installation of any sign on the Premises by or for Lessee shall be subject to
the provisions of Paragraph 7 (Maintenance, Repairs, Utility Installations,
Trade Fixtures and Alterations). Unless otherwise expressly agreed herein,
Lessor reserves all rights to the use of the roof and the right to install, and
all revenues from the installation of, such advertising signs on the Premises,
including the roof, as do not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of
Lessee's business.
35. TERMINATION; MERGER. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by
Lessor, the voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual
termination or cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Lessor for Breach
by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease or lesser estate ?? the
Premises; provided, however, Lessor shall, in the event of any such surrender,
termination or cancellation, have the option to continue any one or more of any
existing subtenancies. Lessor's failure within ten (10) days following any such
event to make a written election to the contrary by written notice to the holder
of any such lesser interest, shall constitute Lessor's election to have such
event constitute the termination of such interest.
36. CONSENTS.
(a) Except for Paragraph 33 hereof (Auctions) or as otherwise provided
herein, wherever in this Lease the consent of a Party is required to an act by
or for the other Party, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. Lessor's actual reasonable costs and expenses (including
but not limited to architects', attorneys', engineers' or other consultants'
fees) incurred in the consideration of, or response to, a request by Lessee for
any Lessor consent pertaining to this Lease or the Premises, including but not
limited to consents to an assignment, a subletting or the presence or use of
Hazardous Substance, practice or storage tank, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor
upon receipt of an invoice and supporting documentation thereto. Subject to
Paragraph 12.2(e) (applicable to assignment or subletting), Lessor may, as a
condition to considering any such request by Lessee, require that Lessee deposit
with Lessor an amount of money (in addition to the Security Deposit held under
Paragraph 5) reasonably calculated by Lessor to represent the cost Lessor will
incur in considering and responding to Lessee's request. Except as otherwise
provided, any unused portion of said deposit shall be refunded to Lessee without
interest. Lessor's consent to any act, assignment of this Lease or subletting of
the Premises by Lessee shall not constitute an acknowledgement that no Default
or Breach by Lessee of this Lease exists, nor shall such consent be deemed a
waiver of any then existing Default Breach, except as may be otherwise
specifically stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such consent.
(b) All conditions to Lessor's consent authorized by this Lease are
acknowledged by Lessee as being reasonable. The failure to specify herein any
particular condition to Lessor's consent shall not preclude the imposition by
Lessor at the time of consent of such further or other conditions as are then
reasonable with reference to the particular matter for which consent is being
given.
38. QUIET POSSESSION. Upon payment by Lessee of the rent for the Premises and
the observance and performance of all of the covenants, conditions and
provisions on Lessee's part to be observed and performed under this Lease,
Lessee shall have quiet possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof
subject to all of the provisions of this Lease.

not be extended or enlarged by reason of Lessee's inability to exercise an
Option because of the provisions of Paragraph 39.4(a).

terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Lessee's due
and timely exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise and during the term

Lessee. Lessee agrees to sign any documents reasonably requested by Lessor to
effectuate any such easement rights, dedication, map or restrictions.
43. PERFORMANCE UNDER PROTEST. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any
amount or sum of money to be paid by one Party to the other under the
provisions hereof, the Party against whom the obligation to pay the money is
asserted shall have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment
shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive the right
on the part of said Party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it

required by an institutional, insurance company, or pension plan Lender in
connection with the obtaining of normal financing or refinancing of the
property of which the Premises are a part.

ADDENDUM TO
STANDARD INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL SINGLE-TENANT LEASE -- NET
BETWEEN
ELDON R. HOFFMAN, LESSOR
AND
PACKETEER, INC., LESSEE
This addendum is attached to and made a part of the Lease dated August 25,
1997 between Eldon R. Hoffman, Lessor, and Packeteer, Inc., Lessee for the real
property commonly known as 10495 De Anza Boulevard, Cupertino, CA.
49. The "Commencement Date" shall be the date that a certificate of
occupancy is issued with respect to Tenant Improvements, but not later than
December 1, 1997, unless Lessee's delay in completion of Tenant Improvements is
due to any act or omission of Landlord which causes Landlord to deliver the
Premises to Lessee later than September 4, 1997, or unreasonably interferes with
Lessee's ability to construct Tenant Improvements. Lessor's reasonable
demolition will not be deemed an interference. Any change in Commencement Date
will not affect, advance nor delay the Expiration Date of the Original Term. For
purposes of calculating rents and all time periods, December 1997 shall be
considered to be the first month and November 2002 shall be considered to be the
sixtieth month, and a Lease Year shall be deemed to commence on December 1, of
each year and to terminate on November 30 of the following calendar year,
regardless of when the Commencement Date actually occurs.
If Lessee believes that Lessor is interfering with Lessee's ability to
construct Tenant Improvements, Lessee shall notify Lessor immediately so that
Lessor can take reasonable measures to reduce or eliminate the interference.
50. Notwithstanding paragraph 1.5 of the Lease to the Contrary, the Base
Rent shall be as follows:
<PAGE> 12
The Base Rent for each full calendar month of this lease shall be as
follows:
Months Monthly Rent
1-12 $55,350.00
13-24 $58,117.50
25-36 $61,022.70
37-48 $64,073.70
49-60 $67,278.50
51. Notwithstanding paragraphs 1.6 and 1.7 of the Lease to the contrary,
Lessee shall pay the security deposit referenced in paragraph 1.7 and shall
prepay a portion of the first month's rent in the amount of $27,223 upon
execution of this lease, but shall not prepay rent upon execution in any
greater amount than specified herein.
In the event that the Commencement Date is not on the first day of a
calendar month, rent for the partial month i which the Commencement Date occurs
shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor within five days after the Commencement Date.
52. Notwithstanding any provision of the lease to the contrary, Lessor
does not warrant the operating condition of the outside artificial creeks in
accordance with paragraphs 2.2 and 2.3 of the Lease. The artificial creek beds,
plumbing and pumps are currently not operational. Lessor will, at Lessor's
cost, reconfigure and repair the parking lot before the Commencement Date*.
Lessor will, at Lessor's cost, be responsible for replacing, prior to the
Commencement Date, all broken glass in existence before the execution of this
Lease. (Lessee and Lessor may agree that Lessee will replace the glass on
behalf of Lessor.) Lessor also warrants that the roof, roofing, building
foundations, and structural elements of the building and exterior walls shall
be in good operating condition on the Commencement Date, although Lessee shall
not be required to give Lessor written notice of non-compliance within 30 days
after the Commencement Date to preserve this warranty as to these items as long
as Lessee gives Lessor written notice of non-compliance within a reasonable
time after Lessee becomes aware of such non-compliance. In the event that there
is non-compliance with the Lessor's warranties as set forth in paragraph 2.3 of
the Lease, Lessee shall give written notice of a non-compliance within 6 months
following the Commencement Date only if the non-compliance was ascertainable
upon a reasonable inspection during such six month period, otherwise within 30
days after Lessee
* Any parking changes required by the Cupertino Planning Commission in the
future will be made at lessor's cost.
<PAGE> 13
becomes aware of such non-compliance.
HVAC Warranty: Notwithstanding any provision of the Lease of this Addendum
to the contrary, Lessor warrants the operating condition of all existing HVAC
units for a period of 120 days from the Commencement Date. Lessor also warrants
the single 15 ton HVAC unit for the term of this lease, as follows: Landlord
will be responsible for 75% of the replacement cost of a 15 ton HVAC unit if the
current 15 ton unit has to be replaced, either because of mechanical breakdown
or if a larger unit is needed by tenant before the Commencement Date. After the
Commencement Date, Lessor will be responsible for 75% of the replacement cost
of a 15 ton HVAC unit if the current 15 ton unit has to be replaced because of
mechanical breakdown. The percentage of Lessor's responsibility shall increase
by 1% upon the passage of each quarter of a Lease Year.
53. Notwithstanding any provision of the Lease to the contrary, the rent
abatement specified in paragraph 3.2 of the Lease shall terminate on the date
that Lessee commences the operation of business in the Premises. The monthly
rent for the period of such early possession shall be equal to the monthly rent
for the first month and shall be prorated on a daily basis.
54. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 6.2(a) of the lease, a
hazardous substance "Reportable Use" shall not include the presence in, on or
about the Premises of a Hazardous Substance which was not caused by Lessee
unless Lessee has actual knowledge about the presence of the Hazardous
Substance and that Applicable Law requires that notice be given.
55. Landlord shall have the duty to inform the Lessee of any condition to
the same extent that Lessee would have an obligation to inform Landlord under
paragraph 6.2(b).
56. In addition to Lessee's obligation to indemnify Landlord pursuant to
paragraph 6.2(c), Lessor defends, indemnifies and holds Lessee harmless from
and against any and all liability, damages, loss, suits, claims, actions, costs
and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorney's fees, arising
from any contamination of the Premises by Hazardous Substances, where such
contamination was caused by Landlord. Lessor further warrants that as of the
execution date of this lease Landlord is not aware of any contamination by and
Hazardous Substance. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the
termination of this lease.
57. Notwithstanding any provision of paragraph 6.3, Lessee shall not be
responsible for compliance with any laws, codes, ordinances or other
governmental directives where such compliance is not related to Lessee's use
and occupancy of the Premises. For example, if any governmental authority
should require the building which is a part of the Premises to be structurally
strengthened against earthquake, or should
3
<PAGE> 14
require the removal of asbestos from the Premises which predated the execution
of this Lease and such measures are imposed as a general requirement applicable
to properties generally in the geographic region where the Premises are located
rather than as a condition to Lessee's specific use or occupancy of the
Premises, Tenant is not obligated to comply with such laws.
58. Notwithstanding any provision of the Lease to the contrary, Lessee's
obligation to maintain the Premises as set forth in Lease paragraph 7.1 shall
not include the roof, roofing, building foundations, and structural elements of
the building and exterior walls, provided that Lessee shall keep the roof and
roof damage free from dirt, leaves and other obstructions and that Lessee shall
maintain the non-structural aspects of the exterior walls.
59. Notwithstanding any provision of the Lease to the contrary, Lessor's
obligation to maintain the Premises as set forth in Lease paragraph 7.2 is
hereby modified: Lessor shall be responsible for maintaining the roof, roofing,
building foundations, and structural elements of the building and exterior
walls of the Premises. Lessor will remove the pine tree that is extending over
the roof.
60. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 7.3(a) of the Lease to the
contrary, the dollar threshold for Alterations and/or Utility Installations
shall be $50,000 per Alteration or Utility Installation and $200,000 cumulative
during the term of the lease as extended.
61. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 7.4(b) of the Lease to the
contrary, if Lessor's consent to an Alteration or Utility Installation is
required, Lessor may require that Lessee remove any Alterations or Utility
Installations at the expiration or termination of the Lease only if Lessor
notified Lessee in writing at the time that Lessor consented to the
installation, by way of condition or otherwise, that removal would be required.
Lessor conditioning Lessor's consent upon removal shall not be construed as an
unreasonable condition or withholding of consent.
62. Notwithstanding any provision of the Lease to the contrary, the
minimum amount of liability insurance specified in paragraph 8.2 shall be
$5,000,000.
63. A new paragraph 9.10 is hereby added, as follows:
9.10 Lessee's right to terminate. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained here, if Lessee's use of the Premises is substantially
impaired by a casualty which is Lessor's obligation to restore for a period of
more than 180 days after the date of the casualty, Lessee shall have the right
to terminate this Lease by written notice to Lessor at any time thereafter
until Lessee's use of the Premises is substantially restored.
4
<PAGE> 15
64. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 10.2 of the Lease to the
contrary, Lessee shall not be responsible for any increase in real property
taxes to the extent caused by a change in ownership during the initial term of
the lease.
65. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 12.1 of the Lease to the
contrary, Lessor's consent shall not be required for any Permitted Transfer and
Lessor shall not be entitled to any sums or other economic benefit to Lessee
from any Permitted Transfer. A Permitted Transfer shall mean the assignment of
the Lease to any entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with Lessee, to any entity which results from a tax deferred merger,
reorganization or consolidation with Lessee, or to any entity which acquires
substantially all of the stock or assets of Lessee in a tax deferred
acquisition, as a going concern, with respect to the business that is being
conducted in the Premises. In addition, the hypothecation or issuance of any
stock of Lessee in connection with debt financing or the capitalization of
Lessee (including a public offering) for the benefit of Lessee shall be a
Permitted Transfer.
66. This paragraph shall replace section 12.2(h) of the Lease. If Lessee
subleases any part of the Premises at any time during the first or second Lease
Year, Lessee shall be entitled to 100% of the sublease rents. If any part of
the Premises is being sublet at any time after the Second Lease Year except for
a Permitted transfer, then the amount of rent payable by the sublessee, to the
extent it exceeds the amount of rent payable by Lessee, shall be divided
equally between Lessee and Lessor. For the purpose of calculating the excess of
the sublease rents over the amount of rent payable by the Lessee, the amount
payable by the sublessee shall first be reduced by the actual amount expended
by Lessee to third parties for the reasonable cost of leasing commissions,
advertising and legal fees, and the amount of rent payable by Lessee
attributable to the subleased space shall be calculated on the basis of the
premises containing 27,000 square feet.
67. Paragraph 13.1(a) which states "The Vacating or the Premises without
the intention to reoccupy same, or the abandonment of the Premises" is deleted
in its entirety. However, Lessee shall have the obligation to maintain and
protect the Premises and to prevent the rates of insurance from being increased
or of insurance being canceled, and to otherwise comply with the terms of this
lease in all respects.
68. Paragraph 15 is deleted in its entirety. Lessor has entered into a
written listing agreement with MacMillan, Moore & Buchanan, Inc. and will pay a
commission in accordance with that agreement. Neither Lessor nor Lessee has
entered into any agreement with CPS. The Commercial Property Services Company,
and CPS shall receive compensation in accordance with its agreement with
MacMillan, Moore & Buchanan, Inc. Each party agrees to indemnify the other
against any other broker's commissions incurred by the indemnifying party.
5
<PAGE> 16
69. Notwithstanding any provision of the Lease to the contrary, the rate
of interest on past-due obligations specified in paragraph 19 shall not exceed
10% per annum.
70. "Non-monetary modifications" to the lease as used in Paragraph 47
shall refer only to notice and address provisions and the addition of notice
and address provisions to include new lenders.
71. OPTION TO EXTEND
a. GRANT OF OPTION. Lessor hereby grants to Lessee one (1) option
(the "Option") to extend the term of the Lease for an additional term of
three (3) years (the "Extended Term") commencing upon expiration of the
Original Term upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Lease and in
this Addendum, as the same may be amended from time to time by the parties
in accordance with the provisions of the Lease. For purposes of the Option
to Extend, the Expiration Date of the Original Term is November 30, 2002,
and the first, second and third Lease Years of the Extended Term will
commence on December 1, 2002, 2003 and 2004 respectively.
b. EXERCISE OF OPTION. Lessee may exercise the Option by giving
Lessor written notice of its election to exercise the Option not more than
one year nor less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the
expiration of the Original Term. The exercise of the option shall not be
valid if Lessee is in default at the time Lessee exercises the option or at
the time the Extended Term is to commence.
c. EXTENDED TERM RENT. If the Option is exercised, the Base Rent for
each month of the first Lease Year of the Extended Term shall be the
greater of the then fair market rental value of the Premises or the Base
Rent for each month of the last year of the Original Term. The fair market
rental value of the premises shall be determined by the agreement of the
parties, or if the parties cannot agree at least 90 days prior to the
commencement of the Extended Term, then by appraisal in accordance with the
procedures set forth in paragraph 74. Base Rent for each Lease Year of the
Extended Term after the first shall be the Base Rent for the prior Lease
Year, increased by 5%.
72. LESSOR'S DEMOLITION. Lessor shall accomplish non-structural
demolition of the interior of the building within the Premises on or before
September 15, 1997, or alternately Lessor and Lessee may agree that Lessee will
perform the remaining demolition at Lessor's cost based upon a budget or other
mechanism for determining
6
<PAGE> 17
the cost. The demolition will be performed in accordance a demolition plan which
will be submitted to Lessor for review, a preliminary copy of which has been
discussed between Lessor and Lessee. A final copy of Lessee's demolition plan
will be presented to Lessor by August 27, 1997 and shall be subject to Lessor's
reasonable review. All demolition shall be in performed pursuant to applicable
government permits and in compliance with law. In the event that Lessor has not
completed Lessor's demolition by September 15, 1997, Lessee shall perform the
remaining demolition at Lessor's cost. The cost of Lessor's demolition work will
not be deducted from the Tenant Improvement Allowance set forth in paragraph 73.
Prior to the Commencement Date, Lessor shall also construct an additional
square footage of approximately 800 square foot in an area currently occupied
by a temporary floor. The figures of the total square footage of the Premises,
rent, security deposit and tenant improvement allowance are based on an agreed
square footage of 27,000 which includes the additional 800 square feet. If
Landlord does not or cannot construct the additional space, the square footage
of the Premises, rent, security deposit and tenant improvement allowance shall
all be reduced proportionately to compensate for the reduction of square
footage of the Premises from 27,000 to 26,200.
<PAGE> 18
73. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS BY LESSEE. Lessee shall be granted Early
Possession on September 4, 1997 in accordance with Paragraphs 1.4 and 3.2 of
this Lease to make improvements to the Premises to fit Lessee's requirements.
The detailed plans submitted to Lessor for work to be performed by Lessee after
Early Possession Date and before Commencement Date shall include a schedule
showing the total anticipated cost of all of Lessee's improvements. All Tenant
Improvements shall be accomplished in accordance with Lease Paragraph 7.3 and
other applicable provisions of the Lease.
Lessor shall provide Lessee with a cash allowance of Five Hundred Forty
Thousand and no/111 dollars ($540,000.00) (the "Tenant Improvement Allowance")
to be used by Lessee for the construction of Lessee's improvements (Tenant
Improvements) prior to Commencement Date. Lessor shall disburse said funds to
Lessee on or before the 15th calendar day of the month following the month in
which improvements have been actually constructed, upon presentation of approved
invoices. Lessor's payment shall be a percentage of the actual cost of
construction, in proportion to Lessor's contribution to the total anticipated
total cost of Lessee's improvements. For example: $540,000.00 (Lessor
Contribution) divided by $600,000.00 (Estimated Total Cost) = 9/10. The actual
cost of construction shall be documented by receipts and the actual construction
shall be subject to verification by Lessor or Lessor's representative.
Should Lessee be unable to complete all of the Tenant Improvements prior
to the commencement date specified in paragraph 1.5 of the Lease (December 1,
1997), then the Commencement Date shall be deferred until Lessee opens for
business up to a maximum of 15 days, and in no event will the Commencement Date
be later than December 15, 1997 unless extended in accordance with paragraph 49.
Lessee shall be totally responsible for the construction of Lessee's
improvements and Lessor shall have no other responsibility other than to
provide Lessor's Tenant Improvement Allowance. The Lessor's contribution toward
the Tenant Improvements shall be only for permanent improvements to the
Premises reasonably approved by Lessor and shall exclude Lessee's equipment,
furniture, furnishings, fixtures, data and communication cabling and removable
partitions. Included shall be the necessary design work, third party
construction and general management fees, and required permits and other
governmental fees. Architectural fees for the design and preparation of working
drawings are included, as stated above, however, their cost shall be limited to
Thirty Thousand and zero dollars ($30,000.00). Costs over and above this amount
shall be the responsibility of Lessee.
At any time after the lease has been executed and before Tenant
Improvements have been completed, Lessor can request that Lessee place money
into escrow for the remaining cost of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and
other items to be paid for by
8
<PAGE> 19
Lessor prior to the Commencement Date. These funds will be disbursed by the
escrow holder pursuant to escrow instructions from Lessee and Lessor as Lessor
becomes obligated to pay for these items. Lessee shall receive a credit against
future rent discounted at a rate equivalent to 7.5% per annum, provided however
that the credit can be claimed only to an amount each month equivalent to the
excess of the then current rent over the amount of the payment required from
Lessor to Wells Fargo Bank on the loan secured by the Premises. Lessee shall
pay the amount required to be paid by Lessor to Wells Fargo Bank, up to the
maximum amount of rent, directly to Wells Fargo Bank if requested by Wells
Fargo Bank.
As security for the prepayment of the tenant improvement allowance by
Lessee as provided in this section, Lessor shall grant to Lessee a lien secured
by a deed of trust in the Premises. The deed of trust shall be reconveyed when
the amount of the advance of the Tenant Improvement Allowance has been repaid
to Lessee or has been recovered through rent credits. Lessee agrees to
subordinate the lien of the deed of trust to Lessor's lenders as long as the
then fair market value of the Premises exceeds the amount of third party
financing secured by the Premises, plus 150% of the amount of the obligation
secured. Lessee waives any rights it may have to approve changes to any deed of
trust securing the loan from Wells Fargo Bank to Lessor and agrees that it will
execute any further documents requested by Wells Fargo Bank in connection with
its deed of trust on the Premises.
Lessor shall repay to Lessee the amount of the unused rent credit if the
Premises are sold or refinanced, or if Lessor's undeveloped property located in
Olympic Valley, California, is sold.
74. APPRAISAL. The appraised fair market rental value shall be determined
as set forth in this paragraph.
If it becomes necessary to determine the fair market rental value for the
Premises by appraisal, real estate appraiser(s), all of whom shall be members
of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and who have at least five
(5) years experience appraising commercial and industrial real property located
in the vicinity of the Premises shall be appointed and shall act in accordance
with the following procedures:
(1) If the parties are unable to agree on the fair market rental
value within the allowed time, either party may demand an appraisal by
giving written notice to the other party, which demand to be effective must
state the name, address and qualifications of an appraiser selected by the
party demanding an appraisal (the "Notifying Party"). Within ten (10) days
following the Notifying Party's appraisal demand, the other party (the
"Non-Notifying Party") shall either approve the appraiser selected by the
<PAGE> 20
Notifying Party or select a second properly qualified appraiser by giving
written notice of the name, address and qualification of said appraiser to the
Notifying Party. If the Non-Notifying Party fails to select an appraiser within
the ten (10) day period, the appraiser selected by the Notifying Party shall be
deemed selected by both parties and no other appraiser shall be selected. If two
appraisers are selected, they shall select a third appropriately qualified
appraiser. If the two appraisers fail to select a third qualified appraiser, the
third appraiser shall be appointed by the then presiding judge of the county
where the Premises are located upon application by either party.
(2) If only one appraiser is selected, that appraiser shall notify the
parties in simple letter form of its determination of the fair market rental
value of the Premises within fifteen (15) days following his selection, which
appraisal shall be conclusively determinative and binding on the parties as the
appraised fair market rental value.
(3) If multiple appraisers are selected, the appraisers shall meet not
later than ten (10) days following the selection of the last appraiser. At such
meeting the appraisers shall attempt to determine the fair market rental value
of the Premises as of the commencement date of the Extended Term by the
agreement of at least two (2) of the appraisers.
(4) If two (2) or more of the appraisers agree on the fair market rental
value of the Premises at the initial meeting, such agreement shall be
determinative and binding upon the parties hereto and the agreeing appraisers
shall, in simple letter form executed by the agreeing appraisers, forthwith
notify both Lessor and Lessee of the amount set by such agreement. If multiple
appraisers are selected and at least two (2) appraisers are unable to agree on
the fair market rental value of the Premises, all appraisers shall submit to
Lessor and Lessee an independent appraisal of the fair market rental value of
the Premises in simple letter form within twenty (20) days following
appointment of the final appraiser. The parties shall then determine the fair
market rental value of the Premises by averaging the appraisals, provided that
any high or low appraisal, differing from the middle appraisal by more than ten
percent (10%) of the middle appraisal, shall be disregarded in calculating the
average.
<PAGE> 21
(5) Any determination of fair market rental value of the Premises
made pursuant to any provision of this Lease, whether by agreement of the
parties or by appraisal pursuant to this paragraph, shall be based upon
the following: (1) that the Premises would be leased for three years at a
fixed monthly rent subject to such periodic adjustments as are then
prevailing in the relevant market for comparable space to a third party
Lessee as financially strong as Lessee as of the date the option is
exercised on the same terms as contained in this Lease, particularly with
regard to Lessee's obligation to pay additional rent and its obligations
to repair and maintain; and (2) the fair market rental value of the
Premises shall not include any part of value added by improvements made by
Lessee to the extent that the cost of such improvements exceeded the
Tenant Improvement Allowance or were made by Lessee at its expense.
(6) If only one appraiser is selected, then each party shall pay
one-half of the fees and expenses of that appraiser. If three appraisers
are selected, each party shall bear the fees and expenses of the appraiser
it selects and one-half of the fees and expenses of the third appraiser.
75. APPROVAL OF USE BY THE CITY OF CUPERTINO. It is understood by both
parties to this Lease that a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) changing the status of
the Premises from Retail to R&D/Office, and confirming that adequate parking has
been approved to comply with applicable laws and requirements, must be obtained
by August 30, 1997 from the City of Cupertino. Should Lessor not be able to
secure said CUP this Lease shall be null and void and all Rent and Deposits made
at Lease execution shall be returned to Lessee with the exception of
Architectural Fees expended by Lessor to date which will be split 50/50 between
Lessor and Lessee.
76. APPROVAL OF LEASE BY WELLS FARGO BANK. It is understood by both
parties to this lease that Lessor's lender, Wells Fargo Bank, must approve of
this lease and agree to a non-disturbance agreement in a form reasonably
acceptable to Lessee on or before September 4, 1997. Should Wells Fargo Bank
not approve by that date, this Lease shall be null and void and all Rent and
Deposits made at Lease execution shall be returned to Lessee with the exception
of Architectural Fees expended by Lessor to date which will be split 50/50
between Lessor and Lessee.
77. SIGNAGE RIGHTS FOR ANY MOUNTAIN, LTD. The current tenant in the
Premises, Any Mountain, Ltd. shall have the right to place a 4' x 8' sign on
the lawn facing De Anza Blvd until January 1, 1998 and a six square foot sign
to the left of the main entrance until July 1, 1998 which announce the
relocation of Any Mountain's store. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph
34 to the contrary, Lessor shall have no right to place any signs on the
Premises except for signs announcing the availability
11
<PAGE> 22
of the Premises for rent during the last six months of the Initial term and any
Extended Term.
Should any conflict exist between this Addendum and the Lease, then this
Addendum shall prevail.
