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.

SUBLEASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS SUBLEASE AGREEMENT (“Sublease”) is entered as of the Effective Date by and between Sublessor and Sublessee.

 

THE PARTIES ENTER this Sublease on the basis of the following facts, understandings and intentions:

 

A.    Master Landlord is the current Landlord of the Premises. Sublessor is presently the Tenant of the Premises pursuant to the Master Lease. A copy of the Master Lease with all amendments, exhibits and addenda thereto, is attached hereto as Exhibit A and, except as set forth in this Sublease, incorporated herein by this reference.

 

B.    Sublessor and Sublessee are parties to a certain sublease effective as of June 24, 2002 whereby Sublessor subleases Suite 950 to Sublessee (the “950 Lease”) and, pursuant to Article 16 of the 950 Lease, Sublessee has a right of first offer for the Premises (the “Right of First Offer”).

 

C.    Pursuant to a letter dated February 25, 2003 Sublessee has chosen to exercise its Right of First Offer.

 

D.    Sublessor desires to sublease the Premises to Sublessee and Sublessee desires to sublease the Premises from Sublessor on all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth herein.

 

E.    All of the terms and definitions of the Basic Sublease Information of this Sublease are incorporated herein by this reference. Unless otherwise defined herein or the context otherwise requires, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings given them in the Master Lease.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the above facts, the mutual covenants and promises of the parties, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE 1 - PREMISES

 

1.1    Demise of Premises.    Sublessor hereby subleases to Sublessee and Sublessee hereby subleases from Sublessor the Premises, for the Term and upon all of the terms and conditions herein set forth. The Premises shall be used by Sublessee for those uses specifically set forth in the Basic Sublease Information, subject to the terms and conditions of the Master Lease, including Section 7 of the Master Lease. In addition, Sublessor shall lease to Sublessee, and Sublessee shall lease from Sublessor, the storage space relating to the Storage Agreement attached as Exhibit D hereto (the “Storage Space”), the personal property set forth on Exhibit C hereto (the “Exhibit C Property”) and any and all permanent improvements in or on the Premises (all of the foregoing collectively, the “Improvements”) constructed and/or owned by Master Landlord and/or Sublessor upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions herein contained. As used herein, “Premises” shall include the Premises, the Storage Space and the Improvements. The Premises represents twenty-four (24%) of

 

1


the total space in the Existing Premises, which shall be Sublessee’s “Proportionate Share” of Additional Rent (as defined in the Basic Sublease Information). It is understood that Sublessee shall accept the Premises on the Commencement Date in “as is” condition.

 

1.2    Condition of Premises.

 

1.2.1    Physical Condition.    Sublessor will deliver the Premises to Sublessee in its current “as-is” condition as of the Effective Date. As of the Effective Date, Sublessee acknowledges that Sublessee has conducted Sublessee’s own investigation of the Premises and the physical condition thereof, which in Sublessee’s judgment affect or influence Sublessee’s use of the Premises and Sublessee’s willingness to enter this Sublease and that, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, neither Sublessor nor any of its employees or agents have made or shall have any liability for any representations or warranties, express or implied, with respect to the condition of the Premises. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, by occupying the Premises on the Commencement Date, Sublessee shall be deemed to have acknowledged that it accepts the Premises in their current condition. Sublessee agrees on the last day of the Sublease Term to surrender the Premises unto Sublessor in accordance with Article 15 of this Sublease.

 

1.2.2    No Representations.    Sublessee and Sublessor recognize and agree that Sublessor would not sublease the Premises to Sublessee and Sublessee would not sublease the Premises from Sublessor except on an “as is” basis and acknowledges that neither Sublessee nor Sublessor has made any representations of any kind, express or implied, in connection with the Improvements or physical conditions on, or bearing on, the Premises, including without limitation the suitability of the Premises for Sublessee’s purposes. Sublessee further recognizes and agrees that neither Sublessor nor Master Landlord shall be required to perform any work of construction, alteration or maintenance of or to the Premises except as expressly set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessee shall not be required to construct or pay the cost of complying with any covenants, conditions, restrictions, encumbrances, rules, regulations, statutes, ordinances, laws or building codes requiring construction or improvements to any alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises that were made by Sublessor and are properly capitalized under general accounting principles, unless such compliance is necessitated solely because of Sublessee’s particular use of the Premises.

 

1.3    Validation of Master Lease.    Sublessor hereby warrants that the Master Lease attached hereto as Exhibit A is complete and in full force and effect, and that Sublessor is not in material default thereunder beyond expiration of any applicable cure or notice period, that, to the knowledge of Sublessor, (i) no other party to the Master Lease is in breach or default thereof, (ii) the area which is the subject of the Sublease has not been previously assigned or subleased by Sublessor, and (iii) no other party has a legal right to occupy such area.

 

ARTICLE 2 - TERM

 

The term of this Sublease shall be for the Term set forth in the Basic Sublease Information provided that upon full execution of this Sublease by Sublessor and Sublessee, and on or before the Commencement Date Sublessee provides Sublessor with (i) the certificates evidencing the insurance

 

2


required by Article 9 of this Sublease, (ii) the first month’s Base Rent and Storage Space Rent and (iii) the Security Deposit.

 

ARTICLE 3 - SUBLESSEE’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS

 

3.1    Monthly Base Rent.    The Monthly Base Rent and the Storage Space Rent shall be payable in advance in equal monthly installments in accordance with the Monthly Base Rent and the Storage Space Rent set forth in the Basic Sublease Information, commencing with the Rent Commencement Date. Upon the execution of this Sublease by Sublessor and Sublessee, Sublessee shall deposit with Sublessor prepaid Rent in an amount equal to Two Thousand-Seven Hundred Seventy Two Dollars and Sixty Five Cents ($2,772.65) for the first month’s Monthly Base Rent due following once the one calendar month Monthly Base Rent abatement period set forth in the Basic Sublease Information and One Hundred and Thirty Four Dollars and Forty Cents ($134.40) for the first month’s Storage Space Rent (“Prepaid Rent”) (for avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby agree and acknowledge that there is not a one month abatement period for the Storage Space Rent). Sublessee shall thereafter pay to Sublessor the Monthly Base Rent and the Storage Space Rent in advance, on or before the first day of each month, beginning on the first day of the calendar month succeeding the Rent Commencement Date. Monthly Base Rent, Storage Space Rent and any additional rent due hereunder shall be payable to Sublessor, without further notice or demand and without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America at the address specified in the Basic Sublease Information or at such other address as Sublessor may from time to time designate in writing. If the Term shall end on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then Rent for the last month of the Term shall be prorated on a per diem basis, with respect to the portions of the last fractional calendar month included in the Term.

 

3.2    Additional Rent.    In addition to Monthly Base Rent and Storage Space Rent, Sublessee shall be responsible for (a) Sublessee’s Proportionate Share of the Additional Rent (as set forth in the Basic Sublease Information), it being the intent of the parties hereto that Sublessee shall owe no Operating Expenses (as defined in the Master Lease) to Sublessor applicable to calendar year 2003, (b) Sublessee Taxes (as defined below) and (c) all other additional rent which may be imposed, at any time, on Sublessor with respect to the Premises pursuant to the Master Lease; provided that Sublessee shall not be responsible for any penalties, interest or other costs incurred by Sublessor under the Master Lease that are caused by (i) Sublessee’s failure to pay rent to Master Landlord in a timely manner in accordance with the Master Lease, unless such failure is cause by Sublessee’s default or failure to make timely payments to Sublessor in accordance with this Sublease, or (ii) a breach of the Master Lease or Sublease by, or the acts or negligence of Sublessor or its agents, representatives, sublessees, employees or invitees (except to the extent such breach, negligence or acts were caused by Sublessee or its agents, representatives, sublessees, employees or invitees). As used herein, “Sublease Rent” shall include Base Rent, Storage Space Rent, Sublessee’s Proportionate Share of Additional Rent, Sublessee Taxes and all other amounts payable by Sublessee to Sublessor hereunder. Sublessee shall be responsible for the Sublessee Rent for each and every month of the Sublease Term commencing with the Rent Commencement Date. Sublessee shall pay its Proportionate Share of Additional Rent and Sublessee Taxes no later than thirty (30) days following Sublessee’s receipt of written demand therefor.

 

3


“Sublessee Taxes” shall consist of all taxes, fees or charges levied or assessed against or attributable to any personal property or trade fixtures in the Premises or by reason of leasehold improvements. If any such taxes, fees or charges are included in Sublessor’s or Master Landlord’s taxes, Sublessor may pay them regardless of the validity (under proper protest, if requested by Sublessee and at Sublessee’s sole cost and expense), and Sublessee will pay Sublessor the amount of Sublessor’s or Master Landlord’s taxes, as applicable, attributable to Sublessee, as determined in good faith by Sublessor.

 

3.3    Security Deposit.    Upon the execution of this Sublease by Sublessor and Sublessee, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor the Security Deposit set forth on the Basic Sublease Information. Sublessor may (but shall not be required to) use the Security Deposit or any portion thereof to cure any defaults on the part of Sublessee (beyond any applicable cure period) or to reasonably compensate Sublessor for any damage Sublessor incurs as a result of Sublessee’s failure to perform any of its covenants or obligations hereunder (provided Sublessee has been given any required notice and opportunity to cure such failure as set forth under the terms of this Sublease), it being understood that any use of the Security Deposit shall not constitute a bar or defense to any of Sublessor’s remedies under this Sublease, at law or in equity. In such event, and upon written notice from Sublessor to Sublessee specifying the amount of the Security Deposit so utilized by Sublessor and the particular purpose for which such amount was applied, Sublessee shall immediately deposit with Sublessor an amount sufficient to return the Security Deposit to the amount specified in the Basic Sublease Information. Upon termination or earlier expiration of this Sublease, the Security Deposit shall be returned to Sublessee within the designated period under applicable law, reduced by those amounts that may be required by Sublessor to remedy defaults on the part of Sublessee in the payment of Sublessee Rent, to repair damage to the Premises and to clean the Premises to a broom-clean condition. Sublessor shall hold the Security Deposit for the foregoing purposes; provided, however, that Sublessor shall have no obligation to segregate the Security Deposit from its general funds or to pay interest thereon.

 

ARTICLE 4 - INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK

 

 

ARTICLE 5 - USE

 

The Premises are to be used for the Permitted Uses, and for no other purpose or business without the prior written consent of Sublessor. In no event shall the Premises be used for a purpose or use prohibited by the Master Lease or the Storage Agreement.

Sublessee shall be subject to, bound by and comply with all of said Sections of the Master Lease and the Storage

 

4


Agreement with respect to the Premises accruing during the Term of this Sublease, and shall satisfy all such terms and conditions of the Master Lease and the Storage Agreement for the benefit of both Sublessor and Master Landlord, it being understood and agreed that wherever in the Master Lease or in the Storage Agreement the word “Tenant” appears, for the purposes of this Sublease, the word “Sublessee” shall be substituted (subject to the limitations set forth in this Sublease), wherever in the Master Lease or the Storage Agreement the word “Landlord” appears, for the purposes of this Sublease, the words “Master Landlord” (and, as applicable hereunder, “Sublessor”) shall be substituted; and wherever in the Master Lease the word “Premises” appears or wherever in the Storage Agreement the word “Storage Area” appears, for the purposes of this Sublease, the words “Master Premises” shall be substituted; and that upon the breach of any of said terms, conditions or covenants of the Master Lease or Storage Agreement by Sublessee or upon the failure of Sublessee to pay the Sublease Rent or comply with any of the provisions of this Sublease, Sublessor may exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to Master Landlord by the Master Lease or the Storage Agreement, as the case may be. Sublessee expressly acknowledges, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease, that Sublessee’s duty to indemnify, defend and hold Sublessor harmless from and against any and all fines, suits, losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, claims, demands, actions, damages and judgments pursuant to this Sublease, and as more specifically set forth in Section 14 of the Master Lease and in Section 4 of the Storage Agreement, shall include Sublessor’s duty to indemnify, defend, protect and hold Master Landlord harmless from and against any and all fines, suits, losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, claims, demands, actions, damages and judgments.

 

It is further understood and agreed that Sublessor has no duty or obligation to Sublessee under the aforesaid Sections of the Master Lease or the Storage Agreement other than to maintain the Master Lease and the Storage Agreement in full force and effect during the term of this Sublease and to pay the difference between the Sublease Rent and the rent due and payable under the Master Lease and the Storage Agreement; provided, however, that Sublessor shall not be liable to Sublessee for any earlier termination of the Master Lease or the Storage Agreement which is not due to the fault of Sublessor. In the event of any conflict between this Sublease and the Master Lease or the Storage Agreement, the Sublease shall control, as between Sublessor and Sublessee. Whenever the provisions of the Master Lease or the Storage Agreement incorporated as provisions of this Sublease require the written consent of Landlord or notice to Landlord, said provisions shall be construed to require the written consent and/or notice of both Master Landlord and Sublessor. Sublessee hereby acknowledges that it has read and is familiar with all the terms of the Master Lease and the Storage Agreement, and agrees that this Sublease is subordinate and subject to the Master Lease and the Storage Agreement and that any termination thereof without the fault of Sublessor shall likewise terminate this Sublease.

If the Master Lease or the Storage Agreement allows only five (5) days or less for Sublessor to perform any act, or to undertake to perform such act, or to correct any failure relating to the Premises or this Sublease, then Sublessee shall nevertheless be allowed three (3) days to perform such act, undertake such act and/or correct such failure.

Sublessee acknowledges that Sublessor shall be under no obligation to provide any such services or satisfy any such obligations or covenants; provided, however, Sublessor, upon written notice by Sublessee, shall attempt to enforce all obligations of Master Landlord under the Master Lease and the Storage Agreement, provided that Sublessee reimburses Sublessor for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (except as otherwise set forth in Section 1.2.2 hereof). Sublessor shall not amend, terminate or waive any provisions under the Master Lease or the Storage Agreement or make any elections, exercise any right or remedy or give any consent or approval under the Master Lease or the Storage Agreement that could result in a substantial interference with Sublessee’s use of the Premises or materially increase Sublessee’s obligations or decrease Sublessee’s rights under this Sublease without, in each instance, Sublessee’s prior written consent.

 

6.5    Use of Building Common Areas.    Sublessee shall comply with all reasonable and non-discriminatory rules and regulations established by Sublessor with respect to use of the Common Areas, and shall insure compliance therewith by all of Sublessee’s employees, contractors and invitees.

 

6.6    Entry by Sublessor.    Upon forty-eight (48) hours advance verbal or written notice (except in case of emergency where no such notice shall be required), Sublessor shall have the right to enter upon the Premises for purposes of maintenance and repair, and to ensure compliance by Sublessee with its obligations pursuant to this Sublease. Sublessee shall provide Sublessor with two keys (including card keys, if applicable) to all doors of the Premises in order to facilitate such entry.

 

ARTICLE 7 - LEASE AND PURCHASE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY

 

During the Term, Sublessee shall have the right, at no additional cost and expense to Sublessee, other than payment of the Sublessee Rent, to use the Exhibit C Property. On the last day of the Term of this Sublease, Sublessee shall purchase the Exhibit C Property, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, by delivering $1.00 to Sublessor pursuant to a General Warranty Bill of Sale in the form of Exhibit E hereto. Upon purchase, the Exhibit C Property shall be owned by

Sublessee’s obligations under this Article 8 shall survive the termination or earlier expiration of this Sublease.

 

ARTICLE 9 - INSURANCE

 

Sublessee covenants to obtain and maintain the insurance policies required to be maintained by Sublessor under Section 15 of the Master Lease naming Sublessor as an additional insured; to provide Sublessor with certificates evidencing such insurance; and not to merit cancellation or termination of such required insurance policies without giving at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Sublessor and Master Landlord. Sublessee shall deliver to Sublessor, from time to time and upon Sublessor’s or Master Landlord’s reasonable written request, certificates of insurance indicating that the required policies of insurance are in full force and effect throughout the entire term of this Sublease. All insurance policies required to be carried by Sublessor pursuant to the Master Lease and the Storage Agreement shall be carried by Sublessee, covering Sublessee’s liability, and all such policies shall be written in accordance with the requirements for such insurance set forth in Section 15 of the Master Lease.

 

ARTICLE 10 - DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

 

In the event of a default by Sublessee, Sublessor shall have all of the rights and remedies against Sublessee as are set forth in Section 19 of the Master Lease as though Sublessor were the landlord named therein and Sublessee was the tenant named therein.

ARTICLE 12 - ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

Sublessee shall not sell, assign, encumber, sublet, hypothecate or otherwise transfer by operation of law or otherwise this Sublease or the Sublessor’s interest in and to the Premises except in accordance with Section 20 of the Master Lease as modified by this Sublease.

 

ARTICLE 13 - REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE

 

Except to the extent constituting an obligation of the Master Landlord under the Master Lease, Sublessee shall, at Sublessee’s sole expense, keep the Premises in good order and sanitary condition, and repair any damage thereto caused by Sublessee or Sublessee’s agents, employees, contractors or invitees. In performing its obligations under this Article 13, Sublessee shall notify Sublessor and of any repairs that could affect the Systems serving the Building (exclusive of the Premises) and shall use contractors approved by Master Landlord, in its reasonable discretion. Sublessee acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Sublessor is under no duty to make repairs or improvements to the Premises, and Sublessee hereby waives any right it may have at law or in equity to enforce the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Master Landlord is obligated under the Master Lease to make any maintenance or repairs in or to the Premises, Sublessor, upon written notice by Sublessee, shall attempt to enforce such obligations of Master Landlord, provided that (except as provided in Section 1.2.3 hereof) Sublessee reimburses Sublessor for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such maintenance or repairs affect the use and enjoyment of the Common Area, such costs and expenses of enforcement shall be paid by Sublessor and Sublessee in proportion to their relative interests in the Master Premises.

 

ARTICLE 14 - DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

 

14.1    Termination of Master Lease.    If the Premises is damaged or destroyed and Master Landlord, Sublessor or Sublessee validly exercises any option to terminate the Master Lease or this Sublease as specifically provided for in the Master Lease or this Sublease (or in the Master Lease as incorporated herein by reference), if any, this Sublease shall terminate as of the date of the termination of the Sublease by either party hereto or the date of the termination of the Master Lease.

 

14.2    Continuation of Sublease.    If the Master Lease is not terminated following any damage or destruction as provided above, this Sublease shall remain in full force and effect. Sublessee shall be obligated to fulfill any repair obligations of Sublessor with respect to the Premises; provided, however, that (i) Sublessor shall use commercially reasonable means to enforce any obligation of Master Landlord to rebuild the Premises in accordance with the Master Lease; (ii) Sublessor shall make available to Sublessee any insurance proceeds Sublessor receives as a result of damage or destruction of the Premises; and (iii) Sublessee shall be entitled to abatement of Sublessee Rent on a proportionate basis (based on the degree to which Sublessee’s use of the Premises is impaired as compared to the impairment of Sublessor’s use of the Master Premises) to

 

8


the extent that Sublessor’s Rent is abated under the Master Lease. In the event that the damage cannot reasonably be repaired by the date that is 90 days prior to the expiration of the Term of this Sublease, then either party may terminate this Sublease by written notice to the other party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if such damage or destruction occurs and the Premises can not be, or is in fact not, restored so that such damage or destruction does not unreasonably interfere with Sublessee’s normal business operations within 180 days following the date of such damage or destruction, Sublessee shall have the right to terminate this Sublease immediately upon deliver of written notice to Sublessor.

 

ARTICLE 15 - SURRENDER OF PREMISES

 

Sublessee shall peaceably surrender the Premises to Sublessor upon expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, broom-clean and in as good a condition as when Sublessee took possession and Sublessee shall remove Sublessee’s personal property and any or all Alterations made by Sublessee (provided that Master Landlord or Sublessor so notified Sublessee in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Master Lease), upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease and promptly repair all damage to the Premises caused by such removal. Unless Master Landlord or Sublessor requires their removal, all Alterations made to the Premises by Sublessee shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.

 

If Sublessee abandons the Premises, any of Sublessee’s personal property left on the Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, and, at Sublessor’s option, title shall pass to Sublessor under this Sublease as by a bill of sale. If Sublessee abandons the Premises and Sublessor elects to remove all or any part of Sublessee’s personal property, the reasonable cost of removal, including repairing any damage to the Premises or Building caused by such removal, shall be paid by Sublessee. The provisions of this Article 15 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.

 

ARTICLE 16 - INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK

 

 

ARTICLE 17 - MISCELLANEOUS

 

17.1    Entire Agreement.    This Sublease, the 950 Lease and the applicable portions of the Master Lease and the Storage Agreement contained by reference herein, contain all of the covenants, conditions and agreements between the parties concerning the Premises, and shall supersede any and all prior correspondence, agreements and understandings concerning the Premises, both oral and written.

9


17.3    Master Landlord’s Consent.    This Sublease is conditioned upon Master Landlord’s written approval of this Sublease prior to the Commencement Date. If Master Landlord refuses to consent to this Sublease, then this Sublease shall be deemed void and of no effect, in which event the parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder and Sublessor shall return the Prepaid Rent, if previously delivered to Sublessor, to Sublessee. If Master Landlord does not provide consent to this Sublease on or before April 15, 2003 in a form of consent acceptable to Sublessee and Sublessor, each in its sole discretion, or if Sublessor is unable to tender possession of the Premises to Sublessee on or before April 15, 2003 (through no fault of Sublessor), then either party may by written notice delivered to the other party no later than five (5) days following such date, have the right to terminate this Sublease, in which event the parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder and Sublessor shall return the Prepaid Rent, if previously delivered to Sublessor, to Sublessee.

 

17.4    Authority.    Each person executing this Sublease on behalf of a party hereto represents and warrants that he or she is authorized and empowered to do so and to thereby bind the party on whose behalf he or she is signing.

 

17.5    Attorneys’ Fees.    In the event either party shall bring any action or proceeding for damages or for an alleged breach of any provision of this Sublease to recover rents, or to enforce, protect or establish any right or remedy hereunder, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs as part of such action or proceeding.

 

17.6    Broker.    Sublessor shall be responsible for payment of any and all finder’s fees or commissions to CD Richard Ellis, Inc. and BT Commercial (“Brokers”) in connection with this Sublease pursuant to a separate agreement. Each party warrants and represents that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker, agent or finder other than Brokers in connection with the negotiation of this Sublease, and that it knows of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to any commission or finder’s fee in connection with the Premises or this Sublease. Each party shall indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, costs and expenses (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from any claim for a leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of the indemnifying party’s dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the Premises or this Sublease.

 

17.7    Counterparts.    This Sublease may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall comprise but a single instrument.

 

17.8    Severability.    If any provisions of this Sublease or the application of any provision of this Sublease to any person or circumstance is, to any extent, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Sublease or the application of that provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, will not be affected, and each provision of this Sublease will be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

10


17.9    Governing Law.    This Sublease will be governed by and in all respects construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California.

 

17.10    Negotiated Transaction.    The parties mutually acknowledge that this Sublease has been negotiated at arm’s length. The provisions of this Sublease shall be deemed to have been drafted by all of the parties and this Sublease shall not be interpreted or construed against any party solely by virtue of the fact that such party or its counsel was responsible for its preparation.

(a)    Wages, salaries and reimbursable expenses and benefits of all on-site and off-site personnel engaged in the operation, maintenance and security of the Development and the direct costs of training such employees, limiting such charges only to amounts directly allocable to services rendered by the employees and personnel for the benefit of the Development.

(h)    All insurance premiums and costs, including, but not limited to, the premiums and cost of fire, casualty, liability, rental abatement and earthquake insurance applicable to the Development and Landlord’s personal property used in connection therewith (and all amounts paid as a result of loss sustained that would be covered by such policies but for commercially reasonable “deductible” or self-insurance provisions); provided, however, that Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, carry earthquake insurance (if Landlord elects to carry earthquake insurance, Tenant shall not be responsible for premium costs for such earthquake insurance in excess of premiums customarily charged for earthquake insurance to landlords of similar buildings in the Northern San Mateo County area).

 

(i)    Repairs, replacements and general maintenance (except for repairs and replacements (i) paid for from the proceeds of insurance, (ii) paid for directly by Tenant, other tenants or any third party, or (iii) for the benefit solely of tenants of the Development other than Tenant to the extent that Tenant could not obtain similar services from Landlord without an obligation to reimburse Landlord for the entire cost thereof under the provisions of this Lease).

 

(j)     All real and personal property taxes and general and special assessments imposed by any governmental authority or agency on the Building and a pro rata portion of any taxes and general and special assessments levied on the Development; any assessments levied in lieu of, or in substitution for, such taxes; and any other costs, fees or charges levied or assessed by, or at the direction of, any federal, state, or local government authority in connection with the ownership, use or occupancy of the Development, whether or not now in effect or foreseeable (excluding penalties, fines and interest charges imposed as a result of Landlord’s failure to pay timely the same; provided that, Tenant has timely paid its proportionate share of Operating Expenses hereunder); and any reasonable expenses, including the reasonable cost of attorneys or experts, incurred by Landlord in seeking reduction by the taxing authority of the above-referenced taxes, less any tax refunds obtained on account of such taxes previously paid and for which Tenant has paid Tenant’s Share thereof as a result of an application for review thereof; provided, however, that such taxes shall not

 

3


include: (i) taxes paid by Tenant pursuant to Section 9 or by other tenants in the Development pursuant to similar provisions in their leases; or (ii) franchise, transfer, inheritance, or capital stock taxes or income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources, unless, due to a change in the method of taxation, any of such taxes is levied or assessed against Landlord as a substitute for, or as an addition to, in whole or in part, any other tax that would otherwise constitute the taxes described in the preceding provisions of this clause (j).

 

(k)    Amortization (together with reasonable financing charges) of capital improvements made to the Development that (i) are or will be required to comply with applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation, enacted or enforced after the Commencement Date; (ii) are replacements of items which Landlord is obligated to maintain; or (iii) are intended to improve the operating efficiency of the Development, provided, however, that in the case of improvements made solely for efficiency purposes, the amount chargeable as an Operating Expense in any year shall not exceed Landlord’s reasonable determination of the efficiency achieved either in direct cost savings, avoidance of cost increases or a combination of both. As used in this definition of Operating Expenses, “amortization” shall mean allocation of the cost equally to each year of useful life of the items being amortized or a shorter period equal to the number of years required to recover the cost of said item of capital improvement out of the savings in operating efficiency derived therefrom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Landlord may treat as expenses (chargeable in the year incurred) and not as capital costs items that are less than two percent (2%) of estimated Operating Expenses for the year in question.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, if the Development is not fully occupied during any year of the Term, an adjustment shall be made in computing Operating Expenses for such year so that Operating Expenses shall be computed as though the Development had been fully occupied during such year; provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord collect in total, from Tenant and all other tenants of the Development, an amount greater than one hundred percent (100%) of the actual Operating Expenses during any year of the Term.

 

Operating Expense Base” means the dollar amount per square foot of the Rentable Area as set forth on the Lease Summary.

Premises” means the floor area more particularly shown on the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit A, containing the approximate area of rentable square feet described on the Lease Summary. Landlord hereby reserves, for its sole and exclusive use, any and all mechanical, electrical, telephone and similar rooms, janitor closets, elevator, pipe and other vertical shafts and ducts, flues and stairwells; the area above the acoustical ceiling, facilities serving parts of the Development other than the Premises; and any other area not shown on Exhibit A as being part of the Premises.

 

Related Parties” of a party means its employees, agents, contractors, officers, directors, partners, licensees, invitee and guests.

 

4


Rent” means the Base Rent, Additional Rent, and any and all other charges of any nature payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease.

The agreed-upon areas stated in this Lease (or in the Lease Commencement Certificate, if different) shall be used to determine Tenant’s Share unless either of said areas materially changes.

 

Term” means the period commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the Termination Date.

 

Termination Date” means the date which is the number of Lease Years and months set forth on the Lease Summary after the Commencement Date or such earlier date upon which this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions therein. Upon determination of the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant will execute a certificate in the form of Exhibit B specifying the Commencement Date and the Termination Date as determined with reference to the Lease Summary.

 

Year or year” means a calendar year.

 

2.    DEMISE

 

For the Term, Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant and Tenant leases the same from Landlord, all upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord may deliver to Tenant either the Suite 950 Space or the Suite 980 Space prior to the Estimated Commencement Date, whereupon the Lease shall commence with respect to the space so delivered upon all the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, including without limitation the obligation to pay Rent for the space so delivered. Tenant hereby acknowledges that if Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date or upon the full execution of this Lease, which ever is later, this Lease shall not be void or voidable by Tenant, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom; provided, however, if Landlord fails to deliver to Tenant possession of both the Suite 950 Space and the approximately two thousand one hundred thirty-eight (2,138) square feet of rentable area (being a portion of Suite 900 of the Building) being concurrently subleased to Tenant (the “Sublease Premises”) on or before August 1, 1999, then Tenant may, at its option and as its sole and exclusive remedy for such failure, terminate this Lease by delivering

 

5


written notice of such termination to Landlord by August 10, 1999 but before Landlord delivers to Tenant possession of both the Suite 950 Space and the Sublease Premises. If Tenant so terminates this Lease, then Landlord shall immediately return to Tenant all amounts previously paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease (and under the sublease of the Sublease Premises, if applicable), excluding any amounts that Tenant may owe to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease and excluding any portion of the Security Deposit used by Landlord to cure any defaults on the part of Tenant or otherwise used by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 of this Lease, and thereafter neither party shall have any further obligations under this Lease, other than those obligations that expressly survive the termination or earlier expiration of this Lease. If Tenant fails to so terminate this Lease, this lease shall not terminate but shall remain in full force and effect upon the same terms and conditions set forth in this Lease.

 

If Landlord falls to deliver to Tenant possession of the Suite 980 Space on or before August 1, 1999, then, Tenant may, at is option and as its sole and exclusive remedy for such failure, terminate this Lease for the Suite 980 Space by delivering written notice of such termination to Landlord by August 10, 1999 but before Landlord delivers to Tenant possession of the Suite 980 Space. If Tenant so terminates this Lease for the Suite 980 Space, then Landlord shall immediately return to Tenant all amounts previously paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease for the Suite 980 Space, excluding any amounts that Tenant may owe to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease for the Suite 980 Space and excluding any portion of the Security Deposit for the Suite 980 Space used by Landlord to cure any defaults on the part of Tenant or otherwise used by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 of this Lease, and thereafter neither party shall have any further obligations under this Lease for the Suite 980 Space, other than those obligations that expressly survive the termination or earlier expiration of this Lease, and if Tenant has not terminated the Lease in accordance with the provisions of the immediately foregoing paragraph of this Section 2, this Lease with regard to the Suite 950 Space shall remain in full force and effect upon the terms, covenants and conditions specified in this Lease and thereafter the “Premises” shall mean the Suite 950 Space and all calculations based upon the square footage of the Premises shall be adjusted to include only the Suite 950 Space. If Tenant fails to terminate this Lease for the Suite 980 Space in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2 and if Tenant has not terminated this Lease in accordance with the provisions of the immediately foregoing paragraph of this Section 2, then the Lease for the Suite 980 Space (and for the Suite 950 Space) shall not terminate but shall remain in full force and effect upon the same terms and conditions set forth in this Lease.

 

So long as it is entitled to possess the Premises, Tenant may (with others) use the Common Areas on a non-exclusive basis for their intended purposes; provided, however, Landlord shall have the sole and exclusive right to possession and control of the Common Areas.

3.    ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES

 

Tenant hereby acknowledges that the Premises is leased to Tenant in its present “as-is” condition, and Landlord shall have no obligation to install any alterations, additions or improvements or do any work whatsoever to the Premises. Tenant further acknowledges that it is currently in possession of the Suite 950 Space pursuant to an assignment of that certain Gateway Office Building Lease dated September 15, 1989, by and between Homart Development Co., a Delaware corporation, Landlord’s predecessor in interest, and Shakey’s Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Shakey’s”), as amended (collectively, the “Shakey’s Lease”). Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, Landlord, Tenant and Shakey’s are executing an agreement terminating the Shakey’s Lease and the assignment thereof by Shakey’s to Tenant (the “Shakey’s Lease Termination Agreement”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant and Landlord hereby acknowledge that this Lease is expressly conditioned upon Tenant and Shakey’s executing and delivering to Landlord the Shakey’s Lease Termination Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord. If for any reason the Shakey’s Lease is not terminated pursuant to the Shakey’s Lease Termination Agreement, this Lease shall terminate and thereafter neither party shall have any further obligation under this Lease, except for those obligations which by their terms survive the termination of this Lease.

 

The current tenant of the Suite 980 Space (the “Suite 980 Tenant”) is executing a lease termination agreement (the “Suite 980 Lease Termination Agreement”), which Suite 980 Lease Termination Agreement shall terminate the current lease for the Suite 980 Space (the “Suite 980 Lease”). Tenant and Landlord hereby acknowledge that this Lease as it relates to the Suite 980 Space only is expressly conditioned upon the Suite 980 Tenant’s executing and delivering to Landlord the Suite 980 Lease Termination Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord. If for any reason the Suite 980 Lease is not terminated pursuant to the Suite 980 Lease Termination Agreement, this Lease with respect to the Suite 980 Space only shall terminate and thereafter neither party shall have any further obligation under this Lease for the Suite 980 Space, except for those obligations which by their terms survive the termination of this Lease, and this Lease with regard to the Suite 950 Space shall remain in full force and effect upon the terms, covenants and conditions specified in this Lease and thereafter the “Premises” shall mean the Suite 950 Space and all calculations based upon the square footage of the Premises shall be adjusted to include only the Suite 950 Space.

 

4.    RENT

 

From the Commencement Date, Tenant will pay Landlord, at the address specified in the Lease Summary or at such other address as may be designated by Landlord from time to time and

 

7


without prior notice, demand, offset or deduction (except as otherwise expressly set forth herein), the following rent:

 

4.1    Base Rent

 

Tenant shall pay the Base Rent in advance on the first day of each month doing the Term hereof, except that the first full month’s Base Rent shall be paid upon execution of this Lease. If the Term commences on other than the first day of a month, the Base Rent provided for such partial month shall be prorated and the prorated installment shall be paid on the first day of the calendar month succeeding the Commencement Date. If the Term terminates on other than the fast day of a calendar month, the Base Rent provided for such partial month shall be prorated and the prorated installment shall be paid on the first day of the calendar month preceding the Termination Date.

 

4.2    Additional Rent

 

Tenant shall pay as additional rent (“Additional Rent”) Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses in excess of the Operating Expense Base multiplied by the Rentable Area. For partial years, the Operating Expenses will be calculated on a full-year basis, and then prorated. Tenant shall pay monthly installments of Additional Rent on the first day of each month, in amounts specified in good faith by Landlord from time to time, which, by the end of each year (or by the Termination Date, if earlier), will total Landlord’s estimate of Additional Rent paid for such year. By the following April 1, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord will furnish Tenant a statement of Operating Expenses and Additional Rent for such year. Any amounts owing for that year shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, be paid by Tenant to Landlord. Any amounts overpaid shall, at Landlord’s option, be credited against the next installment(s) of Additional Rent due from Tenant, or be refunded to Tenant. This obligation survives termination or the earlier expiration of this Lease.

 

5.    SECURITY DEPOSIT

 

Concurrently with execution hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Security Deposit set forth on the Lease Summary as security for the full and faithful performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, which amount shall be paid as follows: Landlord shall credit to the Security Deposit the amount of Twelve Thousand Two Hundred Thirty-Six and 40/100ths Dollars ($12,236.40), which Tenant paid to Landlord as a security deposit pursuant to the Shakey’s Lease; and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of Fifteen Thousand Nine Hundred Eighty-One and 45/100ths Dollars ($15,981.45). Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use the Security Deposit or any portion thereof to core any defaults on the part of Tenant or to compensate Landlord for any damage Landlord incurs as a result of Tenant’s failure to perform any of its covenants or obligations hereunder, it being understood that any use of the Security Deposit shall not constitute a bar or defense to any of Landlord’s remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity. In such event, and upon written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying the amount of the Security Deposit so utilized by Landlord and the particular purpose for which such amount was applied, Tenant shall immediately deposit with Landlord an amount sufficient to return the Security Deposit to the amount specified in the Basic Lease Information. Upon termination or earlier expiration of this Lease, the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant, reduced by those amounts that may be required by

 

8


Landlord to remedy defaults on the part of Tenant in the payment of Rent, to repair damage to the Premises caused by Tenant or Tenant Parties and to clean the Premises to a broom-clean condition. The portion of the Security Deposit not so required shall be paid over to Tenant promptly after expiration of the Term. Landlord shall hold the Security Deposit for the foregoing purposes; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to segregate the Security Deposit from its general funds or to pay interest thereon. If Landlord conveys or transfers its interest in the Building, and as a part of such conveyance or transfer, assigns its interest in this Lease and Security Deposit and the transferee assumes the same in writing, or any portion thereof not previously applied, the Security Deposit shall be transferred to Landlord’s successor and Landlord shall be released and discharged from any further liability to Tenant with respect to such Security Deposit. In no event shall any Mortgagee under a Mortgage, or any purchaser of all or any portion of the Development at a public or private foreclosure sale under a Mortgage, have any liability or obligation whatsoever to Tenant or Tenant’s successors or assigns for the return of all or any part of the Security Deposit in the event any such Mortgagee or purchaser becomes a mortgagee in possession or succeeds to the interest of Landlord under this Lease unless, and then only to the extent that, such Mortgagee or purchaser has received all or any part of the Security Deposit.

 

6.    SERVICES PROVIDED BY LANDLORD

 

Landlord agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished to the Premises the utilities and services as described in Exhibit C, subject to the standards set forth therein. Tenant shall obtain all utilities and services from vendors designated by Landlord, which vendors shall be selected in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, and Tenant shall have no right to obtain any utilities or services from any vendors other than those so designated by Landlord; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant be responsible for any charges from such venders in excess of the costs charged by similar, reputable venders of such services to buildings in the Northern San Mateo County area comparable to the Building and otherwise consistent with an arms’-length agreement In the event any rule or regulation of applicable utilities or governmental authority restricts the services to be provided hereunder, Landlord shall not be in default hereof and Tenant shall not be entitled to an abatement of Rent. Landlord does not warrant that the services provided for in this Section 6 will be free from any irregularity or stoppage. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the same, but no such condition or event will curate any liability for Landlord or Landlord Parties, or constitute an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant, or cause any abatement of the rent payable under this Lease or relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Paragraph 6 to the contrary, if such utilities or services shall, by reason of Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct and through no fault of Tenant, be interrupted or suspended and not restored within three (3) business days after written notice from Tenant to Landlord, and if by reason of such interruption or suspension Tenant is unable to conduct its business operations from the Premises, then Landlord shall refund to Tenant an amount equal to the Base Rent (prorated on a daily basis) paid by Tenant for the period from the date of such interruption or suspension until such service is restored or reasonably satisfactory alternative service is provided in its place.

(a)    Subject to Sections 4.2, 10.1(6), 17 and 18, Landlord shall repair and maintain (i) the structural portions of the Building, (ii) the exterior walls of the Building, including glass and glazing, (iii) the roof, (iv) those portions of the mechanical, electrical, plumbing.

12


10.2    Alterations

 

Tenant will not make or permit alterations, improvements or additions (including fixtures) in or to the Premises (collectively “Alterations”) without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant’s request for such consent shall be in writing, accompanied by proposed detailed plans and specifications. Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost of such Alterations, to insure Landlord against any liability for any mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens and to insure completion of the work. Alterations will be performed, if Landlord elects, by Landlord or a contractor designated by Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant may engage its own contractors to perform remodel work upon written approval by Landlord. In such event, Landlord shall charge a fifteen percent (15%) administrative fee on all construction costs. Any and all plans must be submitted to landlord for approval, and building permits must be obtained by Tenant prior to commencement of any construction remodeling. Subject to Section 24.1, all Alterations will become Landlord’s property and a part of the Building without compensation to Tenant. Tenant will promptly notify Landlord of the value thereof for insurance purposes. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and Landlord parties harmless from and against any and all Liabilities incurred in connection with or arising from any work performed by or on behalf of Tenant.

 

If Landlord gives its consent to Tenant’s making such Alterations, the consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Tenant’s acquiring all permits and approvals required to lawfully do so from applicable governmental agencies, furnishing a copy thereof to Landlord prior to the commencement of the work, and compliance by Tenant with all conditions of said permits and approvals in a prompt and expeditious manner. Unless Landlord so specifies when it gives such consent, Tenant shall not be obligated to remove any Alterations upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. Tenant shall give Landlord not less than ten (10) days notice prior to the commencement of any work in the Premises by Tenant, and Landlord shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises or other parts of the Development as provided by law. All Alterations, repairs and replacements by Tenant shall be in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and ordinances and the requirements of any insurance carrier, and shall be of a quality and class at least equal to the original work, performed in a good and workmanlike manner with good grades of materials approved by Landlord. Tenant will give Landlord opportunity to inspect and monitor all work. Tenant shall provide Landlord with as-built plans and specifications for Alterations promptly upon their completion. Should Tenant make any Alterations without Landlord’s prior written approval, or in violation of such approval or the requirements of this Section 10.2, Landlord may, at any time during the Term, either remove any part or all of the same on Tenant’s behalf or require that Tenant do so all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. All reasonable costs incurred by landlord in removing any such alterations shall be repaid by Tenant to Landlord immediately upon demand, together with an administrative fee equal to fifteen percent (15%) of such costs.

 

Subject to the teens of this Section 10.2, Landlord hereby consents to Tenant (i) upon delivery to Tenant of both the Suite 950 Space and the Sublease Premises, removing the current

 

13


demising wall that separates the Suite 950 Space from the Sublease Presses (the “Sublease Demising Wall”), (ii) upon delivery by Landlord to Tenant of both the Suite 950 Space and the Suite 980 Space, removing the current demising wall that separates the Suite 950 Space from the Suite 980 Space (the “Suite 980 Demising Wall”) and (iii) making minor Alterations that may be required in connection with the removal of each of the Sublease Demising Wall and the Suite 980 Demising Wall (collectively, the “Demising Alterations”); provided, however, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant, at Landlord’s request, shall remove any Demising Alterations and repair any damage to the Suite 950 Space, the Sublease Premises and/or the Suite 980 Space as a result of the Demising Alterations and Tenant shall reconstruct the Sublease Demising Wall and the Suite 980 Demising Wall each to the same condition in which each existed at the commencement of the Term. Landlord hereby agrees to reimburse Tenant for the out-of-pocket costs Tenant actually incurs for the Demising Alterations and for any Broker Fees as set forth in Section 8, but in no event shall Landlord’s reimbursement obligation pursuant hereto, in the aggregate, exceed Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) (the “Allowance”). All costs in excess of the Allowance shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. Landlord shall make such reimbursement to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant delivers to Landlord written demand supported by invoices, receipts and other documents reasonably acceptable to Landlord as evidence of the lien-free completion of said improvements in accordance with the provisions of this Lease and all applicable laws and as evidence of the payment of Broker Fees by Tenant, as applicable. Any and all costs not properly submitted to Landlord by May 31, 2000 shall not be reimbursable hereunder and shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Any excess allowance not properly claimed by Tenant pursuant hereto shall, after May 31, 2000, be forfeited by Tenant and remain the exclusive property of the Landlord.

 

11.    LIENS

 

Tenant shall not permit any lien to exist on or against any part of the Development allegedly resulting from any work or materials furnished or obligations incurred by or for Tenant. Tenant shall discharge any such lien of record or post a bond in accordance with applicable law as soon as reasonably possible after such lien is filed; provided, however, if no liens are allowed pursuant to Landlord’s Mortgage now or hereafter existing on any part of the Building or the Development, Tenant shall discharge any such lien of record immediately upon its filing. Neither this Lease, nor any request or consent of Landlord to the labor, materials or obligations, shall be a consent to any such lien. Landlord may keep posted on the Premises any notices it deems necessary for protection from such liens. If Tenant fails to discharge any such lien, or to post a bond, or to contest such lien by appropriate legal proceeding, or if any such lien jeopardizes Landlord’s interest in the Development or is otherwise prohibited by Landlord’s Mortgage now or hereafter existing on any part of the Building or the Development, then Landlord may cause such lien to be released by any means it deems proper, including payment, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without affecting Landlord’s rights. All reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in causing such liens to be released, together with an administrative fee equal to ten percent (10%) of such costs, shall be repaid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord delivers to Tenant written demand supported by invoices or other reasonably satisfactory evidence of such costs.

12.    ENTRY

 

Landlord may enter any part of the Premises at all reasonable hours following reasonable prior notice to Tenant (or in any emergency or suspected emergency, at any hour, without notice), to (a) inspect, test, clean, or make repairs, alterations and additions to the Building or the Premises as Landlord believes appropriate, or (b) provide any service which Landlord is now or hereafter obligated to furnish to tenants of the Building, or (c) show the Premises to prospective lenders, purchasers or tenants (but, with respect to tenants, only during the last six (6) months of the Term) and, if they are vacated, to prepare them for reoccupancy. Rent will not abate because of Landlord’s entry. Landlord shall at all times have keys to all doors to or in the Premises.

 

13.    LANDLORDS LIABILITY

 

Tenant will protect its property and the person and property of all Tenant Parties, and insure the same to its own satisfaction (including at least the insurance required hereunder), and accordingly waives any claim against Landlord and the Landlord Parties for loss or damage to any property, injury to any person, or injury to Tenant’s business from any cause except for any damages directly caused (and specifically excluding any consequential damages) by Landlord’s willful misconduct or reckless ads. Tenant, for itself and all Tenant Parties, assumes all risk of damage to person and property, proximate or remote. All personal property on the Premises is at Tenant’s risk only; the Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to or theft of such property.

 

14.    INDEMNIFICATION AND EXCULPATION

 

Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and the Landlord Parties (collectively, “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all fines, suits, losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, claims, demands, actions, damages and judgments (collectively, “Liabilities”) suffered by, recovered from or asserted against the Indemnitee, of every kind and character, resulting from any breach, violation or nonperformance by Tenant of any provision of this Lease, and from injury or damage to person or property incident to, arising out of or caused (proximately or remotely, in whole or in part) by any act, omission, negligence or misconduct by Tenant or the Tenant Parties, or in any other way from Tenant or any Tenant Parties’ occupancy or use of or presence on the Development. If any such proceeding is brought against an Indemnitee, Tenant will retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord to defend the Indemnitee at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. All such costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and court costs, shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord immediately upon demand. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 14 shall survive the termination or earlier expiration of this Lease.

 

Landlord will indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless from all Liabilities asserted against Tenant, to the extant that such Liabilities are proven by Tenant to have been caused by Landlord’s willful misconduct or reckless acts. Landlord’s obligations under this Section 14 shall include reimbursement to Tenant for reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by Tenant in connection with those Liabilities covered by Landlord’s indemnification as set forth herein. All costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and court costs, payable by Landlord to Tenant under this Section 14 shall be payable to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant delivers to Landlord

 

15


written demand supported by invoices or other reasonably satisfactory evidence of such expenses. Landlord’s obligations under this Section 14 shall survive the termination or earlier expiration of this Lease.

 

15.    INSURANCE

 

Tenant, during the Term and any other period of occupancy, will at its sole cost and expense maintain insurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, but in any event complying with the following minimum requirements:

 

(a)    General Liability insurance with combined single limits not less than $2,000,000.00, for personal injury or death and property damage occurring in or about or related to the use or occupancy of the Development by Tenant and any Tenant Parties.

(c)    Worker’s Compensation (as required by state law), and Employer’s Liability insurance in the amount of not less than $500,000.00.

 

(d)    Loss of income and extra expense insurance in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earrings or extra expenses attributable to all perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of access to the Development as a result of such perils.

 

All policies required hereunder will be issued by carriers rated A-VII or better by Best’s Key Rating Guide and licensed to do business in the State of California. The policies shall name Landlord and any other person or entity that Landlord may designate from time to time as additional insureds, with primary coverage non-contributing to any insurance Landlord may carry, and shall provide that coverage cannot be cancelled or materially changed except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and any additional insureds. At least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of such policies, and promptly upon any other request by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord and any additional insureds with copies of policies, or certificates of insurance, evidencing maintenance and renewal of the required coverage. In the event Tenant does not maintain said insurance, Landlord may, in its sole discretion and without waiving any other remedies hereunder, procure said insurance and Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days after written demand the cost of said insurance together with an administrative fee equal to ten percent (10%) of such costs.

 

During the Term Landlord shall insure the Building (excluding any property which Tenant is obligated to insure) against damage with All-Risk insurance and public liability insurance, all in such amounts and with such deductibles as Landlord in good faith considers appropriate; provided, however, such All-Risk insurance shall be in an amount equal to at least the full replacement cost of the Building. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain and carry any other form or forms

 

16


of insurance, including, without limitation, earthquake insurance (subject to the provisions of subparagraph (h) of the definition of Operating Expenses), as Landlord or Mortgagees may determine advisable. Tenant has no right to receive any proceeds from any insurance policies carried by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary; however, Landlord may self-insure but only to the extent permitted under any Mortgage.

 

If any act or acts, occupancy or use by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, whether or not Landlord has consented to the same, increase the cost of Landlord’s insurance, Tenant will pay the full cost of any such increase along with Additional Rent. A schedule issued by the organization computing the insurance rate shall be conclusive evidence of the cost of such increase in premium. If any of Landlord’s insurance is (or is threatened to be) cancelled or the coverage thereunder reduced in any way because of any ad or acts, occupancy or use by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, Landlord may terminate this Lease and/or may enter upon the Premises at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any liability to Tenant, and attempt to remedy such condition. All costs incurred by Landlord in performing any such remedial action shall be repaid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after written demand, together with an administrative fee equal to ten percent (10%) of such costs.

 

16.    NO SUBROGATION

 

All insurance policies which either party obtains, or is required to obtain hereunder, affecting the Premises shall include, if available from each party’s respective insurer upon commercially reasonable terms and prices, a clause or endorsement denying the insurer any rights of subrogation against the other party. Landlord and Tenant waive any rights or recovery against the other for any actually insured injury or loss.

 

17.    DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

 

If the Premises or any part thereof is damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant will promptly notify Landlord.

 

17.1    Cancellation of Lease; Restoration of Building.

 

If the Building or the premises or any significant portion of the Common Areas is damaged by fire or other casualty to the extent that, in Landlord’s sole and absolute opinion, substantial alteration or reconstruction is required, or if any Mortgagee of a Mortgage requires that the insurance proceeds payable as a result of the fire or other casualty be applied against the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, Landlord may terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant within sixty (60) days after the later of the date the damage occurs or the date Landlord is so notified by its Mortgagee, in which event the Rent under this Lease will be equitably abated as of the date of the fire or other casualty to the extent such damage materially impairs Tenant’s business operations at the Premises. If this Lease is not terminated, then within seventy- five (75) days after the fire or other casualty, or such greater period as may be reasonably necessary, Landlord will commence to repair and restore the Premises and any portion of the Building and Common Areas acquired for access to the Premises, and will diligently complete the same, but Landlord shall not be required (a) to expend more for such

 

17


repair of the Premises than the insurance proceeds in Landlord’s possession (or to be disbursed to Landlord pursuant to the Mortgage) that exceed the proceeds retained (or required to be retained) by Mortgagee pursuant to its Mortgage and that are reasonably allocable to the Premises, or (b) to rebuild, repair or replace any of Tenant’s furniture, furnishings, fixtures or equipment removable by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease or which Tenant has insured or is required to insure under the provisions of this Lease. If the Premises (or access thereto) is damaged by fire or other casualty so as to unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises for Tenant’s normal business operations and Landlord reasonably determines that it will be unable to repair that portion of the Premises (or access thereto) for which Landlord is responsible hereunder within two hundred seventy (270) days after such fire or other casualty, then Landlord shall deliver written notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after such fire or other casualty informing Tenant of Landlord’s inability to so repair the Premises (or access thereto) within said two hundred seventy (270) day period and Tenant shall have ten (10) days from the date of such notice during which to terminate this Lease by delivering to Landlord written notice of Tenant’s desire to so terminate the Lease. If Tenant does not timely elect to so terminate this Lease, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

 

17.2    Casualty Loss During Last Year of Lease

 

If the Premises or the Building is damaged by fire or other casualty during the last six (6) months of the Term, whether or not the damage requires substantial repair and reconstruction, either Tenant or Landlord may cancel this Lease as of the date of the tire or casualty by notice to the other within thirty (30) days thereafter.

 

17.3    Abatement of Rent

 

In the event of any damage described in this Section 17, Base Rent shall be equitably abated in proportion to the extent that Tenant’s business operations at the Premises are impaired, such abatement to commence as of the date such damage occurs and will continue during the period of such repairs. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, this Lease will not terminate, and Tenant will not be entitled to damages or to any abatement of Rent, as a result of a fire or other casualty, repair or restoration. The provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) which permit termination of a lease upon destruction of Premises, and any other present or future statute that may so permit, are hereby waived by Tenant.

 

18.    CONDEMNATION

 

If all or substantially all of the Building or of the Premises or of the parking areas in the Common Areas is taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation or by right of eminent domain or is sold to the condemning authority in lien of condemnation, then this Lease will terminate on the earlier of the date title thereto passes to the condemning authority or when physical possession is taken by the condemning authority. If a lesser but material portion of the Building or Common Areas is thus taken or sold (whether or not the Premises are affected thereby), then either Tenant (if the taking renders the Building and the Premises unsuitable for Tenant’s continued use of the Premises) or Landlord may terminate this

 

18


Lease by notice to the other within sixty (60) days after the taking or sale, in which event this Lease will terminate on the earlier of the date title thereto passes to the condemning authority or when physical possession of the applicable portion of the Building, the Common Areas or the Premises is taken by the condemning authority. If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to the foregoing and a portion of the Premises has been taken or sold, the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share shall be adjusted according to the Rentable Area of the Premises remaining after such taking or sale, and Landlord, at its sole expense, will restore the affected portion of the Building to substantially its former condition as far as feasible, but not beyond the work done by Landlord in originally constructing the affected portion of the Building and installing tenant improvements in the Premises. However, Landlord shall not be required to expend more for any restoration of the Premises than the Premises’ allocable share of the net compensation or damages received by Landlord for the part of the Building taken and which compensation or damages have been or will be released to landlord by Mortgagee. Landlord will be entitled to receive all of the compensation awarded upon a taking of any part or all of the Development, including, without limitation, any award for any unexpired term of this Lease and Tenant hereby assigns such compensation so awarded to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may seek an award in separate proceedings for its personal property, trade fixtures, moving expenses and good will.

 

In the event of a taking or sale of the Premises or any part thereof for temporary use, this Lease shall remain unaffected and Rent shall not abate, and Tenant shall be entitled to such portion or portions of any award made for such use with respect to the period of the taking which is within the Term, provided that, if such taking shall remain in force at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall then pay to Landlord a sum equal to the reasonable cost of performing Tenant’s obligations with respect to surrender of the Premises.

 

To the extent that it is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 18, each party hereto hereby waives the provisions of Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure allowing either party to petition a court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises.

 

19.    DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

 

19.1    Events of Default

 

The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default hereunder by Tenant:

 

(a)    Tenant fails to make a payment within five (5) days after written notice that such payment is due hereunder; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to provide such notice more than twice during the Term with respect to Base Rent or Additional Rent, the third such non-payment constituting default without requirement of notice; or

 

(b)    Tenant attempts any Assignment (as defined in Section 20) except as expressly permitted pursuant to Section 20; or

 

19


(c)    Tenant fails to comply with any other obligation under this Lease and does not cure such failure as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within twenty (20) days after written notice;

 

provided, however, if such failure cannot be cured during such twenty (20) day period, Tenant shall not be in default hereunder so long as Tenant commences to cure such failure within that twenty (20) day period and thereafter diligently completes such cure; or

 

(d)    Tenant or any Guarantor becomes insolvent, makes a transfer in fraud of creditors or an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, or files a petition under any Section or Chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar law or statute; or an order for relief is entered with respect to Tenant or any Guarantor in any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings; or a pleading seeking such an order is not discharged or denied, within sixty (60) days after its filing; or any action is taken at the corporate, partnership or company level by Tenant or any Guarantor to authorize any of the foregoing actions on behalf of Tenant or any Guarantor; or a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any Guarantor or of the Premises or any of Tenant’s property located thereon in any proceedings brought by Tenant or any Guarantor, or any receiver or trustee is appointed in any proceeding brought against Tenant or any Guarantor and not discharged within sixty (60) days after appointment or Tenant or any Guarantor does not contest such appointment; or any part of Tenant’s estate under this Lease is taken by process of law in any action against Tenant; or

 

(e)    Tenant abandons the Premises; or

 

(f)    Three (3) times within a year, Tenant fails to fulfill a monetary obligation or a material non-monetary obligation under this Lease but thereafter cures such failure within the time provided.

 

Any notice specified above shall serve as, and not be in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or otherwise regarding unlawful detainer actions.

 

19.2    Remedies

 

(a)    Upon an event of default, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by-giving written notice to Tenant of such termination. If and when this Lease is so terminated, all rights of Tenant and those claiming under it will terminate and Landlord may immediately recover from Tenant:

 

(i)    The worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus

 

(ii)    The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination entail the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

 

20


(iii)    The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus

 

(iv)    Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.

 

As used in Subsections (i) and (ii) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law. As used in Subsection (iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

 

(b)    Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.4, Landlord shall have the right to continue this Lease in full force and effect and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s rights to possession of the Premises and Landlord shall have the right to collect Rent when due. Until this Lease is so terminated, Landlord may, on Tenant’s behalf, at Tenants sole cost and expense and in Landlord’s sole discretion, sublet any of the Premises (and, on expiration or earlier termination of the sublease, may re-sublet) for all or part of the remainder of the Term, on whatever terms and conditions Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion deems advisable. Against the Rent and sums due from Tenant to Landlord during the remainder of the Term, credit will be given Tenant in the net amount of Rent received from the new tenant but only after deduction by Landlord for (a) the costs incurred by Landlord in reletting the Premises (including, without limitation, repair and remodeling costs, brokerage fees, legal fees and the like), and (b) all accrued scams, plus interest and late charges, under the terms of this Lease.

 

(c)    Upon an event of default or when Tenant is no longer entitled to possession, Landlord may enter the Premises and dispose of Tenant’s property in accordance with law, and may perform Tenant’s obligations hereunder on Tenant’s behalf, Tenant will reimburse Landlord immediately on demand for Landlord’s attorneys’ fees and other expenses in doing so. This Section 19.2(c) shall survive expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

19.3    Continuing Liability

 

No repossession, re-entering or reletting of file Premises or any part thereof by Landlord shall relieve Tenant or any Guarantor of its liabilities and obligations under this Lease.

 

19.4    Remedies Cumulative

 

All rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease will be non-exclusive of and in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity.

 

21


19.5    No Waiver

 

Either party’s failure to insist on strict compliance with any terms hereof or to exercise any right or remedy, does not waive the same. Waiver of any agreement regarding any breach does not affect any subsequent or other breach, unless so stated. A receipt by Landlord of any Rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Lease shall not be a waiver of the breach, and no waiver by either party of any violation or provision of this Lease shall be effective unless expressed in writing and signed by such party. Payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than due under this Lease may be applied to such of Tenant’s obligations as Landlord elects. No endorsement or statement on any check, and no accompanying letter, shall make the same an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept any check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of the Rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.

 

20.    ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE

 

20.1    Notification

If Tenant’s obligations under this Lease have been guaranteed by one or more Guarantors, then an Assignment, and Landlord’s consent thereto, shall not be effective unless the Guarantors give their written consent to such Assignment and the terms thereof and explicitly agree in writing that the Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such Assignment.

20.5    No Release from Liability

 

No Assignment by Tenant shall relieve Tenant or any Guarantor of any obligation under this Lease or any Guaranty. Any Assignment that conflicts with the provisions hereof shall be void. No consent by Landlord to any Assignment shall constitute a consent to any other Assignment nor shall it constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Section 20 as they apply to any such fixture sublettings or assignments.

 

20.6    Compliance with Laws

 

Any improvements, additions, or alterations to the Development that are required by any law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or are deemed necessary or appropriate by Landlord as a result of any Assignment hereunder, shall be installed and provided by Tenant or the Assignee without cost or expense to Landlord.

Without liability to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to offer and to lease space in the Development; or in any other property, to any party, including without limitation parties with whom Tenant is negotiating, or with whom Tenant desires to negotiate, concerning assignment or subletting the premises, or any portion thereof.

 

20.9    Change of Control; Affiliates.

 

“Assignment” within the meaning of this Section 20 includes any change in control of Tenant or any Guarantor, or any sale of more than half the assets of Tenant or any Guarantor outside the ordinary course of business. Tenant shall notify Landlord of any such change in control or sale prior to its consummation, and concurrently shall submit current financial statements applicable thereto, all subject to Landlord’s reasonable consent and Landlord’s other rights under this Section 20, as in the case of any other Assignment.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that Tenant may enter into an Assignment, without Landlord’s consent, with any entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or with any entity resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant, or with any person or entity which acquires all the assets of Tenant as a going concern in the business that is being conducted on the Premises, provided that, before such Assignment shall be effective, (a) the Assignee shall assume in writing, in full, the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, (b) any Guarantor shall explicitly agree in writing that any Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such Assignment and (c) Landlord shall be given written notice of such assignment and assumption.

On sale by foreclosure of a Mortgage or sale at lieu of foreclosure, Tenant will attorn to the purchaser if requested by such purchaser, and recognize the purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease. These provisions are self-operative and no further instrument is required to effect them; however, upon demand from time to time, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord any commercially reasonable instruments and certificates necessary or proper to evidence such subordination, and/or attornment or, if Landlord so elects, to render any of the foregoing subordinate to this Lease or to any or all rights of Tenant hereunder.

This certification may be relied upon by any actual or prospective Mortgagee or purchaser of all or part of the Development or any interest therein or in Landlord. Failure to so execute and deliver said certificate will be conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, and (iii) that no more than one (1) month’s rental has been paid in advance; and Tenant irrevocably authorizes Landlord, as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact and in Tenant’s name, to so execute and deliver said certificate. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, from time to time, upon no less than ten (10) days after Tenant’s prior written request, a certificate in a form similar to that described herein and reasonably acceptable to Landlord.

If possession is not immediately surrendered, Landlord may enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord will be attempting to lease the Premises with any such Lease to be effective upon expiration of the Term, and failure to surrender the Premises could cause Landlord to incur liability to such successor tenant for which Tenant shall be responsible hereunder to the full extent thereof.

2. HVAC. On Monday through Friday, except holidays, from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., ventilate the Premises and furnish air conditioning or heating on such days and hours, in temperatures and amounts which in Landlord’s good faith judgment are reasonably required for comfortable occupancy of the Premises under normal business operations. If Tenant requires air conditioning during other hours, Landlord will furnish same through an access system provided to Tenant at the Premises, if available, or otherwise as specified in a written request of Tenant delivered to the Building management office before noon on the preceding business day. For this service Tenant will pay Landlord, upon receipt of Landlord’s statement, the charge at an hourly rate determined by Landlord from time to time, which is currently $30.00 per hour. Tenant agrees that neither Tenant nor any Tenant Party shall at any time enter mechanical installations or facilities of the Building or adjust, tamper with, touch or otherwise in any manner affect said installations or facilities. The cost of maintenance and service calls to adjust and regulate the air conditioning system shall be charged to Tenant if the need for maintenance work results from either Tenant’s adjustment of room thermostats or Tenant’s failure to comply with Landlord’s rules governing the temperature within the Premises.

 

3. Lighting. Furnish electric lighting for all public areas and special service areas of the Building as Landlord determines in good faith to be reasonable and standard, including replacement of Building standard lights, bulbs and tubes.

 

4. Electrical Service. Subject to the limitation of this Paragraph 4, furnish electrical service to the Premises, including providing and installing all Building standard replacement lighting tubes. If Tenant uses more electrical power than Landlord in good faith considers reasonable or normal for office use, Tenant will pay Landlord on a monthly basis the cost of such excess power consumed by Tenant. Consumption will be determined, at Landlord’s election, either (a) by a survey performed by a reputable consultant selected by Landlord, or (b) through separate meters or submeters installed, maintained and read by Landlord at Tenant’s cost. For purposes of this Paragraph 4 only, “month” and “monthly” shall mean any billing period used by the utility or other power provider supplying electricity. All installations of electrical fixtures, appliances and equipment within the Premises shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval, and if they affect the temperature or humidity otherwise maintained, Landlord may, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (to be paid within (30) days after delivery of written demand supported by invoices or other reasonably satisfactory evidence), install supplemental air conditioning units. Tenant’s use of electricity shall never exceed Tenant’s share of the capacity of existing feeders to the Binding or of the risers, wiring

installations and transformers serving tire floor(s) containing the Premises. Landlord shall provide up to 3.5 watts per usable square foot (demand) of riser and floor panel electrical capacity averaged over the floor being serviced. Tenant shall be allocated an approximate 2.0 watts per usable square foot for power and 1.5 watts per usable square foot for lighting. Any risers or wiring necessary to meet Tenant’s excess electrical requirements will be installed by Landlord on Tenant’s request, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (to be paid in advance), but only if in Landlord’s good faith belief they are necessary, and will not cause damage to the Building or a dangerous condition, entail excessive or unreasonable alterations, repairs or expense, or disturb other occupants.

 

5. Water. Provide toilet facilities, water for lavatory and toilet purposes, cold water for drinking and tepid water for lavatory purposes, all at points of supply provided for general use of tenants in the Building through fixtures installed by Landlord or by Tenant with Landlord’s consent.

7. Maintenance of Non-Building Standard Items. Maintenance and service costs necessary for non-building standard items in the Premises shall be the responsibility of Tenant. As used in this paragraph, non-building standard items shall include, without limitation, heat pumps, condenser pumps, sinks and associated drain pipes, faucets, hot water heaters, garbage disposals, dishwashers, refrigerators, ice makers, air conditioning units, projection scans and associated wiring and switching, incandescent downlight or wallwash fixtures and lamps, floor electrical outlets and power poles.

 

8. Security Services. Provide Building security personnel twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, fifty-two (52) weeks per year and a card access system which allows access to individual office floors twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, fifty-two (52) weeks per year, all of which shall be provided by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding Landlord’s prevailing security, Tenant waives any claim against Landlord with respect to any loss by theft or any other damage suffered or incurred by Tenant in connection with any entry into the Premises or any other breach of security with respect to the Premises or the Building, except due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.

 

Landlord reserves the right to adopt reasonably, nondiscriminatory modifications and additions to these standards, which Landlord shall promptly deliver to Tenant in writing.

2. NON-DISTURBANCE

 

So long as no default under the Lease exists, nor any event has occurred which has continued to exist for such period of time (after notice, if any, required by the Lease) as would entitle the lessor under the Lease to terminate the Tease or would cause, without any further action on the part of such lessor, the termination of the Lease or would entitle such lessor to dispossess the lessee thereunder, the Lease shall not be terminated, nor shall such lessee’s use, possession or enjoyment of the Leased Premises or rights under the Lease be interfered with in any foreclosure or other action or proceeding in the nature of foreclosure instituted under or in connection with the Security Deed or in case Lender takes possession of the property pursuant to any provisions of the Security Deed or the Assignment of Leases, unless the lessor under the Lease would have had such right if the Security Deed or the Assignment of Leases had not been made, except that neither the person or entity acquiring the interest of the lessor under the Lease as a result of any such action or proceeding or deed in lieu of any such action or proceeding (hereinafter called the “Purchaser”) nor Lender if Lender takes possession of or title to the Property shall be (a) liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor under the Lease; or (b) liable for the return of any security deposit which lessee under the Lease has paid to any prior lessor under the Lease; or (c) subject to any offsets or defenses which the lessee under the Lease might have against any prior lessor under the Lease; or (d) bound by any base rent, percentage rent or any other payments which the lessee under the Lease might have paid for more than the current month to any prior lessor under the Lease; or (e) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without Lender’s prior written consent; or (f) bound by any consent by any lessor under the Lease to any assignment or sublease of the lessee’s interest in the Lease made without also obtaining Lender’s prior written consent; or (g) personally liable for any default under the Lease or any covenant or obligation on its part to be performed thereunder as lessor, it being acknowledged that Tenant’s sole remedy in the event of such defaults shall be to proceed against Purchaser’s or Lender’s interest in the Property.

This First Amendment to Lease (“First Amendment”) is made and entered into as of the 25th day of October, 1999 by and between GATEWAY CENTER, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Landlord”), and ELAN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).

 

RECITALS:

 

A. HMS Office, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Prior Landlord”), predecessor-in-interest to Landlord, and Tenant entered into that certain Lease dated June 1, 1999 (the “Lease”), permitting to the lease of approximately 9,901 mutable square feet of space (the “Existing Premises”) known as Suites 950 and 980, and located on the ninth (9th) floor of the building located at 651 Gateway Boulevard, South San Francisco, California (the “651 Building”).

 

B. Tenant desires to expand the Existing Premises to include approximately 18,820 rentable square, feet of space, which constitutes the entire eighth (8th) floor of the building located at 601 Gateway Boulevard, South San Francisco, California (the “601 Building”) known as suite 800 (the “Expansion Premises”), and to make other modifications to the Lease, and in connection therewith, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease as hereinafter provided.

 

AGREEMENT:

 

Now, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Premises.

 

1.1 Expansion Premises. Effective as of the “Expansion Premises Commencement Date,” as that team is defined in Section 2 below. Tenant shall lease from Landlord and Landlord shall lease to Tenant the Expansion Premises. Consequently, effective upon the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, the Existing Premises shall be increased to include the Expansion Premises. The Exiting Premises and the Expansion Premises may herein collectively be referred to as the “Premises.” Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the addition of the total Expansion Premises to the Existing Premises shall, increase the size of the “Premises,” as that term is defined in the Lease, to approximately 28,721 rentable square feet.

 

1.2 Right of First Offer. Landlord hereby grants to the Tenant named in the Summary (the “Original Tenant”) a right of first offer with respect to available space located on the seventh (7th) and ninth (9th) floors of the 601 Building (the “First Offer Space”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such first offer right of Tenant shall be subordinate to all rights of which are set forth in leases of space in the Project as of the date hereof, including any renewal, extension or expansion rights set forth in such leases, regardless of whether such renewal, extension or expansion rights are


executed strictly in accordance with their terms, or pursuant to a lease amendment or a new lease (collectively, the “Superior Right Holders”) with respect to such First Offer Space. Tenant’s right of first offer shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.2.

 

1.2.1 Procedure for Offer. Tenant shall notify Landlord from time to time in the event Tenant is interested in leasing First Offer Space (the “Interest Notice”). For the six (6) months immediately following Landlord’s receipt of an Interest Notice, Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant in the event First Offer Space or any portion thereof becomes available for lease to third parties, provided that no Superior Right Holder wishes to lease such space (the “First Offer Notice”) and such first Offer Space is not then subject to negotiation of a lease proposal or lose document with a prospective tenant. In the event no First Offer Space becomes available during the six (6) months following Landlord’s receipt of an Interest Notice, Tenant shall have the option to deliver another Interest Notice to Landlord. Pursuant to such First Offer Notice, Landlord shall offer to lease to Tenant the then available First Offer Space. The First Offer Notice shall describe the space so offered to Tenant and shall set forth the “First Offer Rent,” as that term is defined in Section 12.3 below, and the other economic teems upon which Landlord is willing to lease such space to Tenant.

 

1.2.2 Procedure for Acceptance. If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant’s light of first offer with respect to the space described in the First Offer Notice, then within five (5) business days of delivery of the First Offer Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intention to exercise its right of first offer with respect to the entire space described in the First Offer Notice on the terms contained in such notice. If Tenant does not so notify Landlord within the five (5) business day period, then Landlord shall be free to lease the space described in the First Offer Notice to anyone to whom Landlord desires on any terms Landlord desires. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant must elect to exercise its right of first offer, if at all, with respect to all of the space offered by Landlord to Tenant at any particular time, and Tenant may not elect to lease only a portion thereof.

 

1.2.3 First Offer Space Rent. The “Rent,” as that term is defined in Section 4.1, below, payable by Tenant for the First Offer Space (the “First Offer Rent”) shall be equal to rent (including additional rant and considering any “base year” or “expense stop” applicable thereto); including all escalations, at which tenants, as of the “First Offer Commencement Date,” as that term defined in Section 1.2.5, below, are leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered, non-equity space comparable in size, location and quality to the First Offer Space for a similar lease term, which comparable space is low in the Project, taking into consideration the following concessions: (a) rental abatement concessions, if any, being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable space, (b) tenant improvements or allowances provided or to be provided for such comparable space, taking into account and deducting the value of, the existing improvements in the First Offer Space, such value to be based upon the age, quality and layout of the improvements and the extent to which the same could be utilized by a general office user, and (c) any period of rental abatement, if any, granted to tenants in comparable transactions in connection with the design, permitting and construction of tenant improvements in such comparable spaces.

 

-2-


1.2.4 Construction in First Offer Space. Tenant shall take the First Offer Space in its “as is” condition, and the construction of improvements in the First Offer Space shall comply with the terms of Article 10 of the Lease.

 

1.2.5 Amendment to Lease. If Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s right to lease the First Offer Space as set forth herein, Landlord and Tenant shall within fifteen (15) days thereafter execute a separate lease for such First Offer Space: upon the terms and conditions as set forth in the First Offer Notice and this Section 1.2. Tenant shall commence payment of Rent for the First Offer Space, and the term of the First Offer Space shall commence upon the date of delivery of the First Offer Space to Tenant (the “First Offer Commencement Date”) and terminate on the date set forth in the First Offer Notice.

 

1.2.6 Termination of Right of First Offer. The rights contained in this Section 1.2 be personal to the Original Tenant, and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or a permitted Assignee pursuant to Article 20 of the Lease (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant’s interest in this Lease) if the Original Tenant or such permitted Assignee occupies the entire Premises. The right of first offer granted herein shall terminate as to particular First Offer Space upon the failure by Tenant to exercise its right of first offer with respect to such First Offer Space as offered by Landlord. Tenant shall not have the right to lease First Offer Space, as provided in this Section 1.2, if, as of the date of the attempted exercise of any right of first offer by Tenant, or as of the scheduled date of delivery of such First Offer Space to Tenant, Tenant is in default under this Lease or Tenant has previously been in default under this Lease more than once.

 

2. Term.

 

2.1 Initial Lease Term. The term of Tenants lease of the Expansion Premises (the “Expansion Term”) shall commence on December 15, 1999 (the “Expansion Premises Commencement Date”), and shall expire, along with Tenants lease of the Existing Premises; on December 14, 2004, unless sooner terminated as provided in the Lease, as hereby amended.

 

2.2 Option Term

 

2.2.1 Option Right. Landlord hereby grants the Original Tenant one (1) option to extend the Lease Term for a period of five (5) years (the “Option Term”), which option shall be exercisable only by written notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided below, provided that, as of the date of delivery of such notice, Tenant is not in default under this Lease. Upon the proper exercise of such option to extend, and provided that, at Landlord’s option, as of the end of the initial Lease Term, Tenant is not in default under this Lease, the Lease Term, as it applies to the Premises, shall be extended for a period of five (5) years.
