LEASE AGREEMENT
DATE: This Lease is made and entered into as of the Lease Date set forth on Page
1. The Basic Lease Information set forth on Pages 1 and 2 hereof and this Lease
are and shall be construed as a single instrument.
1. PREMISES: Landlord hereby leases the Premises to Tenant upon the terms and
conditions contained herein. For purposes of this Lease the term "Premises"
shall mean and refer to the entirety of the Building and the Lot. For purposes
of this Lease the term "Lot" shall mean and refer to those portions of the
Premises exclusive of the Building and shall include, but not be limited to,

Page 1 hereof. Tenant further acknowledges that the number of rentable square
feet of the Building and/or the Lot may subsequently change after the Lease Date
commensurate with any actual physical modifications to any of the foregoing

2. ADJUSTMENT OF EARLY OCCUPANCY DATE AND COMMENCEMENT DATE; AND CONDITION OF
THE PREMISES:
2.1 If Landlord cannot deliver to Tenant possession of the Premises (in
the condition that exists on the day after the previous occupants--Caliber
Logistics, Inc., The Glidden Company, and The Glidden Company's subtenant, Santa
Clara Warehouse, Inc.--vacate the Building) without any improvements,
alterations, repairs, refurbishment or other modifications being made thereto on
the Early Occupancy Date, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability nor
shall the validity of this Lease be affected; provided, the Early Occupancy Date
and the Commencement Date shall be extended commensurately by the period of time
Landlord is delayed in so delivering to Tenant possession of the Premises
without any improvements, alterations, repairs, refurbishment or other
modifications being made thereto. In the event the actual Early Occupancy Date,
the actual Commencement Date and/or the actual Expiration Date of this Lease is
other than the Early Occupancy Date, Commencement Date and/or Expiration Date
specified in the Basic Lease Information, as the case may be, Landlord and
Tenant shall execute a written amendment to this Lease, substantially in the
form of Exhibit F hereto, wherein the parties shall specify the actual Early
Occupancy Date, Commencement Date, Expiration Date and the date on which Tenant
is to commence paying Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums payable by
Tenant hereunder. It is the parties' intention that (i) the Early Occupancy Date
of this Lease shall be the date specified in the Basic Lease Information, June
1, 1998, (ii) any delays in Landlord commencing and/or completing any of the
Landlord Work (defined below) shall not affect nor otherwise extend the Early
Occupancy Date of June 1, 1998, (iii) Tenant commencing and/or completing the
Tenant Improvements shall not affect nor otherwise extend the Early Occupancy
Date of June 1, 1998, and (iv) Tenant shall be solely and wholly responsible for
the construction and substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements. If the
Early Occupancy Date is extended beyond June 1, 1998, the Commencement Date and
Expiration Date of this Lease shall be extended commensurately by the same time
period. The word "Term" whenever used herein refers to the initial term of this
Lease and any extension thereof. By taking possession of the Premises without
any improvements, alterations, repairs, refurbishment or other modifications
being made thereto, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises in good
condition and state of repair except for the Landlord Work (defined below).
Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither Landlord nor Landlord's
agents or representatives has made any representations or warranties as to the
suitability, safety or fitness of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant's
business, Tenant's intended use of the Premises or for any other purpose.
2.2 If Landlord cannot deliver to Tenant possession of the Premises on
or before October 1, 1998 [in the condition that exists on the date after the
previous occupants (as set forth in Section 2.1 above)
<PAGE> 7
vacate the Building without any improvements, alterations, repairs,
refurbishment or other modifications being made thereto], then either Landlord
or Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering thirty days' prior written
notice, if at all, to the other party. The effective date of any such
termination shall in no event be prior to November 1, 1998.
2.3 LANDLORD WORK: As soon as possible after all of the Existing

Work"): (i) cause the Premises to be in broom-clean condition; (ii) cause the
following described components of the Building to be placed in good working
order: (a) roof and building structure; (b) roof membrane; (c) windows; (d)
skylights; (e) interior and exterior lighting; (f) electrical systems; and (g)
plumbing systems; and (iii) repaint the Building stripe on the exterior of the

defects of such items and place same in good working order within forty-five
(45) days after Landlord's receipt of the Tenant Defect Notice or within such
longer period of time as is necessary to correct any such deficiencies or
defects, so long as Landlord has commenced such repair within fifteen (15) days
of Tenant's Defect Notice and thereafter diligently prosecutes such repair to
completion. The costs and expenses incurred by Landlord to perform the work
described in clause (iii) above shall be included in the 1998 Operating Expenses
for the Premises. Tenant's employees, agents, contractors, consultants, workmen,
mechanics, suppliers and invitees shall use their good faith and best efforts to
cooperate, work in harmony and not, in any manner, interfere with Landlord or
Landlord's agents or representatives in performing the Landlord Work.
3. EARLY OCCUPANCY PERIOD AND RENT:
3.1 EARLY OCCUPANCY PERIOD: During the period commencing on the actual
Early Occupancy Date and ending on the date which is sixty (60) days thereafter

sole risk and subject to all of the provisions of this Lease except as otherwise

use the Premises for purposes of (i) planning, installing and constructing the
Tenant Improvements in the Premises, and (ii) installing in the Premises
Tenant's equipment (including telephone, telecommunications and data lines),
furnishings and fixtures to make the Premises ready for Tenant's use and
occupancy to conduct its operations therein. Except for the requirement that
Tenant pay for all utilities and Utility Expenses to the extent incurred during
the Early Occupancy Period, Tenant shall otherwise commence paying Rent (defined

planning, design and/or construction of the Tenant Improvements are commenced or
completed. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the security of its property
or equipment or that of its contractors or agents, stored in the Premises during
the Early Occupancy Period. In consideration for Landlord permitting Tenant to

Indemnitees (defined in Section 15 below) harmless from and against any and all
claims, damages, liabilities, liens, losses, actions, judgments, costs and
expenses (including without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs) arising from
Tenant's and any of Tenant's Representatives' use and occupancy of any portion
of the Premises during the Early Occupancy Period, or from any activity
permitted or suffered by Tenant or any of Tenant's Representatives in or about
the Premises during the Early Occupancy Period, or any breach or default in the
performance of any obligation on Tenant's part to be performed under the terms
of this Lease during the Early Occupancy Period, or arising from any intentional
or negligent act or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant's Representatives during
the Early Occupancy Period; provided, however, the foregoing indemnity shall not
include claims, damages, liabilities, liens, losses, actions, judgments, costs
and expenses (including without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs) for
damage or injury to the extent caused by the sole and active negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord and its designated agents or employees, unless

(including, but not limited to, consequential damages) or losses of any nature

by Tenant or any of Tenant's Representatives, or any other person in or about
the Premises, arising from or in connection with this Lease or the use of the
Premises (including any claims, damages or losses arising from any act or
neglect of any other persons including construction workers hired by Landlord),
except to the extent such claims, damages or losses arise solely from the sole
and active negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord (provided, however, in
no event shall Landlord be liable for any consequential damages).
3.2 RENT: On the date that Tenant executes this Lease, Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord the original executed Lease, the sum of $121,854.57, which
amount equals the Base Rent, the estimated Operating Expenses and Early
Occupancy Rent for the first month of the Term of the Lease (the "Advanced
Rent") (which Advanced Rent shall be applied against the Rent payable for the
first month Tenant is required to pay Base Rent), the Letter of Credit (defined
below) and all insurance certificates evidencing the insurance required to be
obtained by Tenant under Section 13 of this Lease and under the provisions of
Exhibit B hereto. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, without prior notice or demand,
or abatement, offset, deduction or claim (except as otherwise set forth in
Section 28 hereof), the Base Rent specified in the Basic Lease Information
(including any Amortized Excess TI Costs) and the Early Occupancy Rent (defined
below), payable in advance at Landlord's address specified in the Basic Lease
Information on the actual Commencement Date and thereafter on the first (1st)
day of each month throughout the balance of the Term of this Lease after first
giving Tenant credit for the Advanced Rent. In addition to the Base Rent set
forth in the Basic Lease Information (including any Amortized Excess TI Costs)
and the Early Occupancy Rent (defined below), Tenant shall pay Landlord in
advance on the actual Commencement Date and thereafter on the first (1st) day of
each month throughout the balance of the Term of this Lease, as Additional Rent,
the Administrative Expenses, Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses, after first
giving Tenant credit for the Advanced Rent. The term "Rent" whenever used herein
refers to the aggregate of all these amounts. The Rent for any fractional part
of a calendar month at the commencement or termination of the Lease term shall
be a prorated amount of the Rent for a full calendar month based upon a thirty
(30) day month. The prorated Rent for the last calendar month of the Term of
this Lease shall be paid on the first day of the calendar month in which the
date of termination or expiration occurs.
3.3 EARLY OCCUPANCY RENT: In addition to the monthly Base Rent
specified in the Basic Lease Information (including any Amortized Excess TI
Costs), and as part of the "Rent" payable by Tenant hereunder in accordance with
the provisions of Section 3.2 above, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional
Rent, the amount of $2,535.18 (the "Early Occupancy Rent") monthly on the first
(1st) day of each month of the first sixty (60) months only of the initial term
of this Lease. The monthly amount of the Early Occupancy Rent equals the
amortization (at the annual interest rate of ten percent (10%) for a 60-month
period) of one month's Base Rent of $101,004.00 plus one month's estimated
Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Administrative Expenses of $18,315.39.
4. LETTER OF CREDIT:
4.1 Upon Tenant's executing this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of its obligations
under this Lease, an irrevocable and unconditional negotiable standby Letter of
Credit in exactly the form and containing the terms as set forth in the form of
letter of credit attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Letter of Credit") issued by
Wells Fargo Bank ("Issuer"), a solvent bank under the supervision of the
Superintendent of Banks of the State of California or a National Banking
Association, payable in Foster City, California, and made in favor of Landlord,
as the beneficiary thereof. The Letter of Credit shall be in a face amount equal
to Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 U.S. Dollars ($950,000.00) and,
subject to the provisions of this Section 4, the expiration date shall be
September 1, 2008 (the "L/C Expiration Date"). The face amount of the Letter of
Credit shall decline by $110,000.00 (less the amount of any draw or draws made
in the preceding calendar year) each year commencing at the end of the third
(3rd) year of the Term of this Lease. Therefore, the face amount of the Letter
of Credit shall decline to $180,000.00 at the end of the ninth (9th) year of the
Term of this Lease and shall remain in this amount until the L/C Expiration
Date, or any extension pursuant to Addendum 1 hereto.
<PAGE> 9
4.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the face amount of the Letter of
Credit shall be reduced as follows: if at any time following the second (2nd)
year of the Term of this Lease, Tenant's net worth exceeds Thirty-Five Million
Dollars ($35,000,000.00) AND Tenant's net income exceeds Eight Million Dollars
($8,000,000.00) (both as reported in Tenant's audited annual financial
statements as prepared by a certified public accountant), then the face amount
of the Letter of Credit shall decline to Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($450,000.00). Furthermore, if Tenant's net worth AND net income meet the
above-stated criteria for a second consecutive year of the Term of this Lease,
then the face amount of the Letter of Credit shall further decline to One
Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($180,000.00), which face amount shall remain
for the duration of the Term of this Lease until the L/C Expiration Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant's financial condition does not meet the
above-stated criteria for the second of the two (2) consecutive years but
Tenant's financial condition meets the above-stated criteria in any two (2)
subsequent and consecutive years of the Term of this Lease, then at that time
the face amount of the Letter of Credit shall decline to One Hundred Eighty
Thousand Dollars ($180,000.00), which face amount shall remain for the duration
of the Term of this Lease until the L/C Expiration Date, or any extension
pursuant to Addendum 1 hereto.
4.3 The Letter of Credit shall be (a) at sight and irrevocable and (b)
subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (1993-Rev)
International Chamber of Commerce Publication #500. Tenant hereby acknowledges
and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance upon
the ability of Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of
any default on the part of Tenant hereunder which continues beyond any
applicable notice and cure periods. Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that
if Landlord cannot draw upon the Letter of Credit within the times and in the
manner as anticipated by Landlord herein, Landlord shall suffer irreparable
damage, harm and injury. From time to time during the Term of this Lease,
including, but not limited to, the event whereby Tenant meets certain financial
condition criterion as set forth in Section 4.2 hereinabove, it is anticipated
by the parties that the Letter of Credit will need to be amended and modified.
Landlord and Tenant hereby covenant and agree to cooperate with one another to
promptly effectuate any such amendments and modifications, including without
limitation, executing and submitting to the Issuer any and all documents or
instruments as may be reasonably required to effectuate same. The L/C Expiration
Date is intended by the parties to be the date which is one hundred twenty-one
(121) months after the actual Commencement Date of this Lease. When the parties
actually know the actual Commencement Date of this Lease, and if the actual
Commencement Date is not August 1, 1998, the parties will execute and submit to
the Issuer such further applications, documents and instruments as may be
necessary to cause the L/C Expiration Date to be the date which is one hundred
twenty-one (121) months after the actual Commencement Date of this Lease. In
addition to the foregoing, each and every time during the Term of this Lease
there is a change in the identity or address of the parties, including without
limitation, any change in the identity of Landlord due to the sale, transfer or
other conveyance by Landlord of its rights and interests in, to and under this
Lease to any other party, person or entity, the Letter of Credit shall
immediately be amended to reflect such changes and the parties hereby agree to
execute and submit to the Issuer such further applications, documents and
instruments as may be necessary to effectuate same. It is the intention of the
parties that each and every successor and assign of both Landlord and Tenant be
bound by and subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 4. Landlord
may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining
Tenant's consent thereto, assign all or any portion of its interest in and to
the Letter of Credit to another party, person or entity, regardless of whether
or not such assignment is separate from or as a part of the assignment by
Landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease. Tenant further
covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the Letter of
Credit or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors or
assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment
or attempted encumbrance. In no event or circumstance shall Tenant have the
right to any use of the Letter of Credit and, specifically, Tenant may not use
the Letter of Credit as a credit or to otherwise offset any payments required
hereunder, including, but not limited to, Rent or any portion thereof. In the
event Landlord shall not have drawn on the Letter of Credit as provided in this
Section 4, Landlord covenants and agrees to return to Tenant the original Letter
of Credit within thirty-one (31) days following the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease and Landlord's receipt of written notice from Tenant
requesting the return of the original Letter of Credit.
<PAGE> 10
5. DAMAGE DEPOSIT. Upon Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver
to Landlord, as a Damage Deposit for the performance by Tenant of its
obligations under this Lease, the amount specified in the Basic Lease
Information. If Tenant is in default, Landlord may, but without obligation to do
so, use the Damage Deposit, or any portion thereof, to cure the default or to
compensate Landlord for all damages to the Premises sustained by Landlord
resulting from Tenant's default. Tenant shall, immediately on demand, pay to
Landlord a sum equal to the portion of the Damage Deposit so applied or used so
as to replenish the amount of the Damage Deposit held to increase such deposit
to the amount initially deposited with Landlord. As soon as practicable after
the termination of this Lease (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after
such termination), Landlord shall return the Damage Deposit to Tenant, less such
amounts as are reasonably necessary, to remedy Tenant's default(s) hereunder (if
any), or to otherwise restore the Premises to a clean and safe condition,
reasonable wear and tear excepted. Landlord shall not be required to keep the
Damage Deposit separate from other funds, and, unless otherwise required by
law, Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Damage Deposit. In no event
or circumstance shall Tenant have the right to any use of the Damage Deposit
and, specifically, Tenant may not use the Damage Deposit as a credit or to
otherwise offset any payments required hereunder, including, but not limited to,
Rent or any portion thereof.
6. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS: Tenant hereby agrees to accept the Premises on the Early
Occupancy Date as suitable for Tenant's intended use and as then being in good
operating order, condition and repair, in its then "AS IS" condition, except for
the performance by Landlord of the Landlord Work in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.2 hereof. Tenant shall install and construct the Tenant
Improvements (as such term is defined in Exhibit B hereto) in accordance with
the terms, conditions, criteria and provisions set forth in Exhibit B. Landlord
and Tenant hereby agree to and shall be bound by the terms, conditions and
provisions of Exhibit B. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that neither Landlord
nor any of Landlord's agents, representatives or employees has made any
representations as to the suitability, fitness or condition of the Premises for
the conduct of Tenant's business or for any other purpose, including without
limitation, any storage incidental thereto. Any exception to the foregoing
provisions must be made by express written agreement by both parties.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall allow
Landlord to, concurrently with Tenant (if Tenant so desires, otherwise
separately), or after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
individually, make a claim against Tenant's general contractor, namely TRI-COM
Refrigeration, Inc. (the "Tenant's General Contractor") for any patent or latent
defects in the initial design or construction of the upgrade of the fire
protection system to .495 per 2,000 square feet in the south 93,400 square feet
of the Building as set forth in Section 1 of Exhibit B hereto. In addition to
the foregoing, Landlord shall be entitled to enforce, concurrently with Tenant,
or after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, individually, any
warranties made or given to Tenant from the Tenant's General Contractor and any
major subcontractors with respect to the Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall be
a third party beneficiary of Tenant's construction agreements, and accordingly,
Tenant hereby agrees to include a provision in Tenant's construction contracts
to effectuate same.
7. ADDITIONAL RENT : It is intended by Landlord and Tenant that this Lease be a
"triple net lease." The costs and expenses described in this Section 7 and all
other sums, charges, costs and expenses specified in this Lease other than Base

by Landlord; provided, however, if any of the foregoing are in the
nature of capital improvements (including for purposes hereof, the
replacement of the entire roof and the replacement of the entire
parking lot), then the cost of such capital improvements shall be
amortized on a straight-line basis over a reasonable period, which
shall be the lesser of fifteen (15) years or the reasonably estimated
useful life of such modifications as customarily determined in the
industry for comparable buildings in the Oakland, San Leandro, San
Lorenzo, Hayward and Union City market area, new improvements or
replacement improvements in question (at an interest rate equal to the
prevailing prime rate plus two percent (2%)), and Tenant shall pay the
monthly amortized portion of such costs (including interest charges) as
part of the Operating Expenses herein;
7.1.5 Subject to the provisions of Section 12.2 hereof, if
Landlord elects to so procure, Landlord's cost of preventative
maintenance and repair contracts for the presently existing heating,
ventilation and air conditioning systems serving the office portion of
the Premises;
7.1.6 Landlord's cost of security measures (to the extent such
security measures are necessary to fulfill Landlord's obligations
hereunder in the event of an emergency or unsafe condition, as
reasonably determined by Landlord) and fire protection services for the
Premises;
7.1.7 If Tenant uses any such rail spur or rail crossing,
Landlord's cost for the maintenance and repair of any rail spur and
rail crossing, and for the creation and negotiation of, and pursuant
to, any rail spur or track agreements, licenses, easements or other
similar undertakings;
7.1.8 Landlord's cost of supplies, equipment, rental equipment
and other similar items necessary and used solely for the operation
and/or maintenance of the Premises; and
7.1.9 Landlord's cost for the repairs and maintenance items

7.2 TAX EXPENSES: In addition to the Base Rent set forth in Section 3,
Tenant shall pay all real property taxes applicable to the land and improvements
included within the Lot on which the Building is situated and one hundred
percent (100%) of all personal property taxes now or hereafter assessed or
levied against the Premises or Tenant's personal property. Tenant shall also pay
one hundred percent (100%) of any increase in real property taxes attributable,
in Landlord's sole discretion, to any and all alterations, Tenant Improvements
or other improvements of any kind whatsoever placed in, on or about the Premises
<PAGE> 12
for the benefit of, at the request of, or by Tenant. The term "Tax Expenses"
shall mean and include, without limitation, any form of tax and assessment
(general, special, supplemental, ordinary or extraordinary), commercial rental
tax, payments under any improvement bond or bonds, license fees, license tax,
business license fee, rental tax, transaction tax, levy, or penalty imposed by
authority having the direct or indirect power of tax (including any city,
county, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural, lighting,
drainage or other improvement district thereof) as against any legal or
equitable interest of Landlord in the Premises, as against Landlord's right to
rent or as against Landlord's business of leasing the Premises or the occupancy
of Tenant or any other tax, fee, or excise, however described, including, but
not limited to, any value added tax, or any tax imposed in substitution
(partially or totally) of any tax previously included within the definition of
real property taxes, or any additional tax the nature of which was previously
included within the definition of real property taxes. The term "Tax Expenses"
shall not include any franchise, estate, inheritance, net income, or excess
profits tax imposed upon Landlord.
7.3 ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: The Administrative Expenses set forth in
this Section 7.3 are considered part of Additional Rent. In addition to the Base
Rent set forth in Section 3 hereof, Tenant shall pay Landlord, without prior
notice or demand, commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing thereafter
on the first (1st) day of each month throughout the balance of the Term of this
Lease, as compensation to Landlord for accounting and management services
rendered on behalf of the Premises, one-twelfth (1/12th) of an amount equal to
ten percent (10%) of the estimated amount of the aggregate of the Operating
Expenses and Tax Expenses (collectively, the "Administrative Expenses"). Any
reconciliation of the Administrative Expenses shall be substantially in the same
manner as specified in Section 7.5 below, to the extent such provisions are
applicable. Tenant's obligation to pay such Administrative Expenses shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
7.4 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES: Landlord shall estimate the Operating Expenses
and Tax Expenses for the calendar year in which the Lease commences. Commencing
on the Commencement Date, one-twelfth (1/12th) of this estimated amount shall be
paid by Tenant to Landlord, as Additional Rent, and thereafter on the first
(1st) day of each month throughout the remaining months of such calendar year.
Thereafter, Landlord may estimate such expenses as of the beginning of each
calendar year during the Term of this Lease and Tenant shall pay one-twelfth
(1/12th) of such estimated amount as Additional Rent hereunder on the first
(1st) day of each month during such calendar year and for each ensuing calendar
year throughout the Term of this Lease. Tenant's obligation to pay the Operating
Expenses and Tax Expenses which have accrued prior to the termination or earlier
expiration of this Lease shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease.
7.5 ANNUAL RECONCILIATION: By June 30th of each calendar year following
the calendar year in which this Lease is executed, or as soon thereafter as
reasonably possible, but in no event later than September 30th of each calendar
year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with an accounting of actual Operating
Expenses and Tax Expenses, together with copies of actual property tax bills and
either a copy of Landlord's general ledger for pertinent Operating Expense
accounts, or copies of actual invoices, the choice of which is at Landlord's
sole discretion, if Tenant so requests. Within thirty (30) days of Landlord's
delivery of such accounting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any
underpayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure by Landlord to give such
accounting by such date shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right
to collect any of Tenant's underpayment within two (2) years after Landlord's
delivery of such accounting, with the exception of supplemental taxes, for which
Landlord may collect any such underpayment at any time. Landlord shall credit
the amount of any overpayment by Tenant toward the next estimated monthly
installment(s) falling due, or where the Term of the Lease has expired, refund
the amount of overpayment to Tenant within ninety (90) days of such accounting.
If the Term of the Lease expires prior to the annual reconciliation of expenses
Landlord shall have the right to reasonably estimate Tenant's expenses, and if
Landlord determines that an underpayment is due, Tenant hereby agrees that
Landlord shall be entitled to deduct such underpayment from Tenant's Damage
Deposit. If Landlord reasonably determines that an overpayment has been made by
Tenant, Landlord shall refund said overpayment to Tenant as soon as practicable
thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure of Landlord to accurately
estimate Tenant's expenses or to otherwise perform such reconciliation of
expenses, including without limitation, Landlord's failure to deduct any portion
of any underpayment from Tenant's
<PAGE> 13
Damage Deposit, shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to collect any
of Tenant's underpayment within three (3) years of the date of Landlord's
delivery of the then applicable accounting after the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
7.6 AUDIT: After delivery to Landlord of at least thirty (30) days
prior written notice, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense through any
accountant designated by it, shall have the right to examine and/or audit the
books and records evidencing such costs and expenses for the previous one (1)
calendar year, during Landlord's reasonable business hours but not more
frequently than once during any calendar year. Any such accounting firm
designated by Tenant may not be compensated on a contingency fee basis. The
results of any such audit (and any negotiations between the parties related
thereto) shall be maintained strictly confidential by Tenant and its accounting
firm and shall not be disclosed, published or otherwise disseminated to any
other party other than to Landlord and its authorized agents. If through such
audit it is determined that there is a discrepancy of more than five percent
(5%) of the total amount of expenses paid by Tenant hereunder, then Landlord
shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable accounting costs and expenses incurred
by Tenant in performing such audit up to a maximum amount of Two Thousand
Dollars ($2,000.00). However, if through such audit it is determined that there
is a discrepancy of five percent (5%) or less of the total amount of expenses
paid by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the
reasonable accounting costs and expenses associated with said audit as well as
those reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord for any outside
accounting firms or auditors used in connection with such audit, up to a maximum
amount of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00). Landlord and Tenant shall use their
best efforts to cooperate in such negotiations and to promptly resolve any
discrepancies between Landlord and Tenant in the accounting of such costs and
expenses.
8. UTILITIES: Prior to the Early Occupancy Date, Tenant shall cause all of the
Utility Expenses (hereinafter defined) to be placed in Tenant's name with
invoices to be sent directly to Tenant at the Premises. In addition to the Base
Rent set forth in Section 3 hereof, Tenant shall pay directly the cost of all
water, sewer use, sewer discharge fees and sewer connection fees, gas, heat,
electricity, trash or refuse collection, janitorial service, telephone,
telecommunications and other utilities (collectively, the "Utility Expenses")
billed or metered separately to the Premises and/or Tenant. Tenant shall also
pay any and all assessments or charges for utility or similar purposes included
within any tax bill for the Lot on which the Building is situated, including
without limitation, entitlement fees, allocation unit fees, and/or any similar
fees or charges, and any penalties related thereto. Tenant further agrees to
timely and faithfully pay, prior to delinquency, any amount, tax, charge,
surcharge, assessment or imposition levied, assessed or imposed upon the
Premises, or Tenant's use and occupancy thereof. Commencing on the Early
Occupancy Date, Tenant shall pay directly to the providers thereof all costs,
fees, charges and similar sums for all of the utilities, services and other
matters described in this Section 8, including without limitation, any and all
Utility Expenses (collectively, the "Utility Charges"). If at any time during
the Term of this Lease Tenant shall fail to timely and fully pay any of such
Utility Charges after the lapse of the 10-day notice and cure period specified
in Section 21.3 hereof, in addition to all other remedies available to Landlord
hereunder, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, pay any of such
Utility Charges. In the event Landlord pays any of such Utility Charges, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all of such Utility Charges plus ten
percent (10%) for overhead, as part of the Operating Expenses payable by Tenant
hereunder.
9. LATE CHARGES: Any and all sums or charges set forth in this Section 9 are
considered part of Additional Rent. Tenant acknowledges that late payment (the
sixth (6th) day of each month or any time thereafter) by Tenant to Landlord of
Base Rent, Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utility Expenses, subject to
Section 8 herein, and Administrative Expenses or other sums due hereunder, will
cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount
of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to fix. Such costs
include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges
that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any note secured by any
encumbrance against the Premises, and late charges and penalties due to the late
payment of real property taxes on the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of
Rent or any other sum due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within five
(5) calendar days of the date due, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord all of
the following, as
<PAGE> 14
applicable: (a) an additional sum equal to seven percent (7%) of such delinquent
amount plus interest on such delinquent amount at the rate equal to the prime
rate plus three percent (3%) for the time period exceeding thirty (30) days that
such payments are delinquent as a late charge for the first instance during any
calendar year in which Landlord does not receive Rent within said five (5) day
period, and ten percent (10%) of such delinquent amount as a late charge for
each and every successive instance during any calendar year in which Landlord
does not receive Rent within said five (5) day period, (b) the amount of
Seventy-five Dollars ($75.00) for each three-day notice prepared for, or served
on, Tenant, (c) the amount of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) relating to checks for
which there are not sufficient funds. If Tenant delivers to Landlord a check for
which there are not sufficient funds, Landlord may, at its sole option, require
Tenant to replace such check with a cashier's check for the amount of such check
and all other charges payable hereunder. The parties agree that this late charge
and the other charges referenced above represent a fair and reasonable estimate
of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant.
Acceptance of any late charge or other charges shall not constitute a waiver by
Landlord of Tenant's default with respect to the delinquent amount, nor prevent
Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to
Landlord for any other breach of Tenant under this Lease. If a late charge or
other charge becomes payable for any three (3) installments of Rent within any
twelve (12) month period, then Landlord, at Landlord's sole option, can either
require the Rent be paid quarterly in advance or be paid monthly in advance by
electronic funds transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Tenant fail to
pay the sum(s) due hereunder within five (5) days of the due date as hereinabove
set forth, Landlord shall have the obligation, the first (1st) time only that
Tenant fails to pay such sum(s) during each calendar year of the term of the
Lease, to send a facsimile notice of such failure to such individual at such
facsimile number as Tenant may first designate in writing, and if Tenant pays
such overdue sum within three (3) days after confirmation that such notice has
been received at such facsimile number, there shall be no assessment of a late
charge.
10. USE OF PREMISES:
10.1 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RECORDED MATTERS, AND RULES AND REGULATIONS:
The Premises are to be used solely for the purposes and uses specified in the
Basic Lease Information and for no other uses or purposes without Landlord's
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed so long as the proposed use (i) does not involve the use of Hazardous
Materials other than as expressly permitted under the provisions of Section 30
below, (ii) does not require any additional parking in excess of the parking
spaces required by law, and (iii) conforms with all zoning ordinances and Laws
then in effect. The use of the Premises by Tenant and its employees, directors,
officers, affiliates, representatives, agents, invitees, licensees, subtenants,
customers or contractors (collectively, "Tenant's Representatives") shall be
subject to, and at all times in compliance with, the following:
(a) any and all applicable laws, ordinances, statutes, orders
and regulations as same exist from time to time (collectively, the
"Laws");
(b) any and all documents, matters or instruments, including
without limitation, any declarations of covenants, conditions and
restrictions, and any supplements thereto, each of which has been
recorded prior to the Lease Date in any official or public records with
respect to any portion of the Premises (the "Recorded Matters");
(c) any and all documents, matters, or instruments, including
without limitation, any declarations of covenants, conditions and
restrictions, and any supplements thereto, that are recorded after the
Lease Date, and any amendments, modification and/or cancellations of
the Recorded Matters that are recorded after the Lease Date
(collectively, "Subsequently Recorded Matters"). If Landlord agrees to
any such Subsequently Recorded Matters (to which it is a party or with
respect to which Landlord has direct approval of) without Tenant's
prior written consent, then this Lease shall be deemed to supersede
such Subsequently Recorded Matters in the event of any conflict.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any of the
Subsequently Recorded Matters to which Landlord is not a party or with
respect to which Landlord has no direct approval of (i.e., Subsequently
Recorded Matters which are recorded or imposed by any applicable
<PAGE> 15
governmental authorities) adversely affect Tenant's use under this
Lease (excluding any liens related to any mortgage, deed of trust or
similar type of security interest, and any improvements to be made to
the Premises), then Landlord, upon receipt of written notice of such
matters, shall notify Tenant, in writing, of all such Subsequently
Recorded Matters; and
(d) any and all rules and regulations set forth in Exhibit C,
attached to and made a part of this Lease, and any other reasonable
rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord now or hereafter enacted
relating to parking and the operation of the Premises provided same are
enforced on a non-discriminatory basis, do not materially and adversely
affect Tenant's operations in and from the Premises and/or adversely
affect Tenant's normal hours of operation (collectively, the "Rules and
Regulations").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, should any conflict exist between any rules and
regulations not set forth in Exhibit C hereto, the provisions of the Lease will
prevail. Tenant agrees to, and does hereby, assume full and complete
responsibility to ensure that the Premises are adequate to fully meet the needs
and requirements of Tenant's intended operations of its business within the
Premises, and Tenant's use of the Premises and that same are in compliance with
all applicable Laws throughout the Term of this Lease, including without
limitation, any fire protection improvements or equipment, in-rack fire
sprinklers, hose racks, reels, smoke vents and hatches, draft curtains, and the
fire sprinkler systems in the Building. Tenant shall be solely responsible for
complying with all applicable Laws, and, specifically, the high-pile storage
requirements of the City of Oakland and any other agencies or regulatory bodies
having jurisdiction thereof. Additionally, Tenant shall be solely responsible
for the payment of all costs, fees and expenses associated with any
modifications, improvements or alterations to the Premises occasioned by the
enactment of, or changes to, any Laws arising from Tenant's particular use of
the Premises or alterations, improvements or additions made to the Premises
regardless of when such Laws became effective.
10.2 PROHIBITION ON USE: Tenant shall not use the Premises or permit
anything to be done in or about the Premises nor keep or bring anything therein
which will in any way conflict with any of the requirements of the Board of Fire
Underwriters or similar body now or hereafter constituted or in any way increase
the existing rate of or affect any policy of fire or other insurance upon the
Building or any of its contents, or cause a cancellation of any insurance
policy; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant permissibly
uses the Premises for the purposes allowed by the provisions of this Lease and
such permissible use increases the rate of premiums paid for such insurance,
then Tenant shall not be considered in breach of the foregoing restriction so
long as Tenant agrees to pay, and actually does promptly pay, as Additional Rent
any such increase in the rate of or premiums for such insurance. No auctions may
be held or otherwise conducted in, on or about the Premises without Landlord's
written consent thereto, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord's
sole discretion. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about
the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of
Landlord or other persons or businesses in the area, or use or allow the
Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose; nor shall Tenant cause, maintain
or permit any private or public nuisance in, on or about any portion of the
Premises, including, but not limited to, any offensive odors, noises, fumes or
vibrations (other than (i) customary odors resulting from food preparation,
provided such food preparation is in compliance with all Laws, including without
limitation, the requirements of the Department of Health, (ii) fumes associated
with vehicle exhaust, and (iii) vibrations associated with Tenant's
refrigeration equipment, and other equipment and vehicles of Tenant or Tenant's
Representatives). Tenant shall not damage or deface or otherwise commit or
suffer to be committed any waste in, upon or about the Premises. Tenant shall
not place or store, nor knowingly permit any other person or entity to place or
store, any property, equipment, materials, supplies, personal property or any
other items or goods outside of the Premises for any period of time. Tenant
shall not permit any live animals, including, but not limited to, any household
pets, to be brought or kept in or about the Premises. Tenant shall place no
loads upon the floors, walls, or ceilings in excess of the maximum designed load
permitted by the applicable Uniform Building Code or which may damage the
Building or outside areas; nor place any chemicals or corrosive materials in the
drainage systems that cause damage to such systems other than normal wear and
tear; nor dump or store waste materials, refuse or other such materials, or
allow such to remain outside the Building area, except for any non-hazardous or
non-harmful materials which may be stored in refuse dumpsters or in any enclosed
trash areas provided.

11. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS; AND SURRENDER OF PREMISES:
11.1 ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS: The Tenant Improvements described in
Exhibit B hereto and Tenant's Initial Alterations described in Exhibit L hereto
are not part of the improvements, alterations and/or additions to which the
provisions of Section 11.1 relate. Tenant shall be permitted to make, at its
sole cost and expense, non-structural alterations and additions to the Premises
without obtaining Landlord's prior written consent, provided the cost of same
does not exceed $50,000 each job and $100,000 cumulatively each calendar year
(the "Permitted Improvements"). Tenant, however, shall first notify Landlord of
such alterations or additions so that Landlord may post a Notice of
Non-Responsibility on the Premises. Within twenty (20) business days of
Landlord's receipt of Tenant's written notice of any item comprising the
Permitted Improvements, Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing, whether or not
Landlord will require Tenant to remove such item from the Premises upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Except for the Permitted
Improvements, Tenant shall not install any signs, fixtures, improvements, nor
make or permit any other alterations or additions to the Premises without the
prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. If any such alteration or addition is
expressly permitted by Landlord, Tenant shall deliver at least twenty (20) days
prior notice to Landlord, from the date Tenant intends to commence construction,
sufficient to enable Landlord to post a Notice of Non-Responsibility. In all
events, Tenant shall obtain all permits or other governmental approvals prior to
commencing any of such work and deliver a copy of same to Landlord. All
alterations and additions shall be installed by a licensed contractor approved
by Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed, at Tenant's sole expense in compliance with all applicable Laws
(including, but not limited to, the ADA as defined herein), Recorded Matters,
and Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall keep the Premises and the property on
which the Premises are situated free from any liens arising out of any work
performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of
Tenant. As a condition to Landlord's consent to the installation of any
fixtures, additions or other improvements, the cost of which exceeds One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), and which work is structural in nature (other
than the initial Tenant Improvements and Tenant's Initial Alterations), Landlord
may require Tenant to post and obtain a completion and indemnity bond for up to
one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of the work. Notwithstanding the above,
provided that Tenant's General Contractor's financial condition (at the time
that such alteration or addition is proposed by Tenant) has not materially and
adversely changed from its financial condition at the time of execution of this
Lease, then Tenant's General Contractor shall be deemed to have been approved by
Landlord for purposes hereof.
11.2 SURRENDER OF PREMISES: Upon the termination of this Lease, whether
by forfeiture, lapse of time or otherwise, or upon the termination of Tenant's
right to possession of the Premises, Tenant will at once surrender and deliver
up the Premises, together with the attached fixtures (other than trade fixtures,
and other than any furniture bolted for earthquake purposes which shall be
deemed to be not attached to the Premises), additions and improvements which
Landlord has notified Tenant, in writing prior to the time of their
installation, that Landlord will require Tenant not to remove, to Landlord in
good condition and repair (including, but not limited to, replacing all light
bulbs and ballasts not in good working condition) and in the condition in which
the Premises existed as of the Commencement Date, except for reasonable wear and
tear, and repairs not required to be made by Tenant as expressly provided in
this Lease, or to the extent Landlord has actually received insurance proceeds
for such casualty damage. Reasonable wear and tear shall not include any damage
or deterioration to the floors of the Premises arising from the use of forklifts
in, on or about the Premises (including, without limitation, any marks or stains
of any portion of the floors caused by forklifts), and any damage or
deterioration that would have been prevented by proper maintenance by Tenant or
Tenant otherwise performing all of its obligations under this Lease. Upon such
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove the Permitted Improvements (to
the extent Landlord has notified Tenant in writing, at the time set forth in
Section 11.1, that it will require such removal), all tenant signage, trade
fixtures, non-attached fixtures, furniture, furnishings, equipment, personal
property, additions, and other improvements (to the extent Landlord has notified
Tenant, in writing, prior to the time of their installation, as set forth above,
that Landlord will require such removal) unless Landlord reasonably requests, in
writing, that Tenant not remove some or all of such attached
<PAGE> 17
fixtures (other than trade fixtures), additions or improvements installed by, or
on behalf of Tenant or situated in or about the Premises. By the date which is
forty-five (45) days prior to such termination of this Lease, Landlord shall
notify Tenant in writing of those attached fixtures (other than trade fixtures),
alterations, additions and other non-attached improvements which Landlord shall
require Tenant not to remove from the Premises. Tenant shall repair any damage
caused by the installation or removal of such signs, trade fixtures, furniture,
furnishings, equipment, fixtures, additions and improvements which are to be
removed from the Premises by Tenant hereunder. If Landlord fails to so notify
Tenant at least forty-five (45) days prior to such termination of this Lease,
then Tenant shall remove all tenant signage, alterations, furniture,
furnishings, trade fixtures, equipment, cabling and other lines of a
non-standard nature, additions and other improvements (other than the Tenant
Improvements and those improvements or alterations not required to be removed by
Landlord at the time of installation) installed in or about the Premises by, or
on behalf of Tenant. Tenant shall cause the removal of such items and the repair
of the Premises to be completed prior to such termination of this Lease. For
purposes hereof, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Tenant's racking and in-rack sprinkler systems shall be deemed to be part of
Tenant's trade fixtures and shall be removed from the Premises by Tenant upon
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
11.3 TENANT'S INITIAL ALTERATIONS: Landlord and Tenant agree that
Tenant shall be permitted to install certain specialized improvements, trade
fixtures and equipment in the Premises in accordance with Exhibit L hereto
(hereinafter "Tenant's Initial Alterations"). Prior to the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, demolish
and/or remove (as the case may be) from the Premises Tenant's Initial
Alterations including, but not limited to, all alterations set forth in Section
2 of Exhibit L hereto. Tenant shall restore the Premises to the condition
existing prior to the installation of Tenant's Initial Alterations and shall
repair in good and workmanlike manner to the satisfaction of Landlord all damage
to the Premises caused by the installation or construction of Tenant's Initial
Alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not demolish, and shall
otherwise leave intact and in good condition and repair, the office and restroom
area to be remodeled or constructed by Tenant as part of Tenant's Initial
Alterations on the south wall of the Building, as well as all standard, generic
warehouse improvements (as determined by Landlord), including, but not limited
to, dock levelers, dock seals and lights, electrical panels for generic
electrical distribution, metal halide lighting, smoke hatches, skylights, draft
curtains, and upgrades to the main fire protection system (excluding in-rack
sprinklers and sprinkler drops to accommodate Tenant's Initial Alterations).
12. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE:
12.1 TENANT'S REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS: Except for those
portions of the Building to be maintained by Landlord, as provided in Sections
12.2 and 12.3 below, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, keep and

reasonable satisfaction of Landlord including, but not limited to, repairing any
damage caused by Tenant or Tenant's Representatives and replacing any property

Tenant shall be solely responsible for the provision of any security measures in
any manner relating to Tenant's operations, including without limitation,

<PAGE> 18
otherwise temporarily stored outside of the Building.
12.2 REIMBURSABLE REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS: Subject to the
provisions of Sections 7 and 10 of this Lease and except for (i) the obligations
of Tenant set forth in Section 12.1 above, (ii) the obligations of Landlord set
forth in Section 12.3 below, and (iii) the repairs rendered necessary by the
intentional or negligent acts or omissions of Tenant or any of Tenant's
Representatives, Landlord agrees, at Landlord's expense, subject to
reimbursement pursuant to Section 7 above, to keep in good repair the plumbing
systems exterior to the Premises, any rail spur and rail crossing if used by
Tenant, the roof, roof membrane, exterior walls of the Building, signage
(exclusive of tenant signage), and exterior electrical wiring and equipment,
exterior painting of the Building, and underground utility and sewer pipes
outside the exterior walls of the Building. For purposes of this Section 12.2,
the term "exterior" shall mean outside of the Building. Tenant shall procure and
maintain (a) the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems preventative
maintenance and repair contract(s); such contract(s) to be on a bi-monthly or
quarterly basis, as reasonably determined by Landlord. Landlord shall procure
and maintain the fire and sprinkler protection services and preventative
maintenance and repair contract(s), including, without limitation, monitoring
services; such contract(s) to be on a bi-monthly or quarterly basis, as
reasonably determined by Landlord. Landlord reserves the right, but without the
obligation to do so, to procure and maintain (i) the heating, ventilation and
air conditioning systems preventative maintenance with quarterly service and
repair contract(s) for the office areas of the Building, and only if Tenant
fails to procure and maintain same. If Landlord so elects to procure and
maintain any such contract(s), Landlord shall first give Tenant twenty (20)
days' prior written notice of such election, during which twenty (20) day period
Tenant may procure such contract. If Tenant fails to procure such contract
during the period, then Landlord shall procure such contract, and Tenant will
reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof in accordance with the provisions of
Section 7 above. During the time period Tenant procures and maintains any of
such contract(s), all of the following shall apply: (i) Tenant shall do so in
compliance with all codes and Laws; (ii) Tenant will promptly deliver to
Landlord, within seven (7) days of Landlord's written request therefor, a true
and complete copy of each such contract and any and all renewals or extensions
thereof, and each service report or other summary received by Tenant pursuant to
or in connection with such contract(s); and (iii) such contract shall provide
for and include without limitation replacement of filters, oiling and
lubricating of machinery, parts replacement, adjustment of drive belts, oil
changes, and other industry standard preventative maintenance procedures.
12.3 LANDLORD'S REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS: Except for repairs
rendered necessary by the intentional or negligent acts or omissions of Tenant
or any of Tenant's Representatives, Landlord agrees, at Landlord's sole cost and
expense without any reimbursement as part of Operating Expenses specified
herein, to (a) keep in good repair the structural portions of the floors,
foundations, exterior perimeter walls of the Building and load-bearing walls not
altered by Tenant (exclusive of glass and exterior doors), and (b) replace the
structural portions of the roof of the Building (excluding the roof membrane)
as, and when, Landlord determines such replacement to be necessary in Landlord's
sole but reasonable discretion.
12.4 TENANT'S FAILURE TO PERFORM REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS:
Except for normal maintenance and repair of the items described above and except
for the installation of a satellite dish in accordance with the provisions of
Addendum 2 hereto, Tenant shall have no right of access to or right to install
any device on the roof of the Building nor make any penetrations of the roof of
the Building without the express prior written consent of Landlord. If Tenant
refuses or neglects to repair and properly maintain the Premises as required
herein and to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord, upon prior notice to
Tenant and after expiration of the applicable cure period, both as specified in
Section 21.3 hereof Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, at any time
thereafter make such repairs and/or maintenance without Landlord having any
liability to Tenant for any loss or damage that may accrue to Tenant's
merchandise, trade fixtures, equipment, fixtures or other property, or to
Tenant's business by reason thereof, except to the extent any damage is caused
by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Landlord or its authorized
agents and representatives. In the event Landlord makes such repairs and/or
maintenance, upon completion thereof Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional
rent, the Landlord's costs for making such repairs and/or maintenance, plus ten
percent (10%) for overhead, upon presentation of a bill therefor. The
obligations of Tenant hereunder shall survive the expiration of the Term of this
Lease or the earlier
<PAGE> 19
termination thereof. Except as provided in Section 42 below, Tenant hereby
waives any right to repair at the expense of Landlord under any applicable Laws
now or hereafter in effect respecting the Premises.
13. INSURANCE:
13.1 TYPES OF INSURANCE: Tenant shall maintain in full force and effect
at all times during the Term of this Lease, at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
for the protection of Tenant and Landlord, as their interests may appear,
policies of insurance issued by a carrier or carriers reasonably acceptable to
Landlord and its lender(s) which afford the following coverages: (i) worker's
compensation: statutory limits; (ii) employer's liability, as required by law,
with a minimum limit of $100,000 per employee and $500,000 per occurrence; (iii)
commercial general liability insurance (occurrence form) providing coverage
against any and all claims for bodily injury and property damage occurring in,
on or about the Premises arising out of Tenant's and Tenant's Representatives'
use and/or occupancy of the Premises. Such insurance shall include coverage for
blanket contractual liability, fire damage, premises, personal injury, completed
operations, products liability, personal and advertising, and a plate-glass
rider to provide coverage for all glass in, on or about the Premises including,
without limitation, skylights. Such insurance shall have a combined single limit
of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence with a Two
Million Dollar ($2,000,000) aggregate limit and excess/umbrella insurance in the
amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000). If Tenant has other locations which
it owns or leases, the policy shall include an aggregate limit per location
endorsement. If necessary, as reasonably determined by Landlord, Tenant shall
provide for restoration of the aggregate limit; (iv) comprehensive automobile
liability insurance: a combined single limit of not less than $2,000,000 per
occurrence and insuring Tenant against liability for claims arising out of the
ownership, maintenance, or use of any owned, hired or non-owned automobiles; (v)
"all risk" or "special purpose" property insurance, including without
limitation, sprinkler leakage, boiler and machinery comprehensive form, if
applicable, covering damage to or loss of any personal property, trade fixtures,
inventory, fixtures and equipment located in, on or about the Premises, and in
addition, coverage for business interruption of Tenant, together with, if the
property of Tenant's invitees is to be kept in the Premises, warehouser's legal
liability or bailee customers insurance for the full replacement cost of the
property belonging to invitees and located in the Premises. Such insurance shall
be written on a replacement cost basis (without deduction for depreciation) in
an amount not less than ninety percent (90%) of the full replacement value of
the aggregate of the items referred to in this subparagraph (v); (vi) flood and
earthquake insurance on a replacement cost basis (without deduction for
depreciation) in an amount not less than ninety percent (90%) of the full
replacement value of the following: Tenant's inventory; Tenant's food
preparation systems and all equipment and fixtures relating thereto; Tenant's
refrigerated food storage rooms, including without limitation, portable metal
panel systems, partition walls and ceilings, and plumbing, mechanical and
electrical systems relating thereto; (such flood and earthquake insurance shall
specifically exclude Tenant's automated material handling system and equipment,
together with all related computer hardware and software, as such material
handling system and equipment is contemplated in Tenant's Initial Alterations or
as additional material handling systems and equipment shall be acquired and
located in the Premises at any time during the term of this Lease). Tenant shall
also maintain earthquake sprinkler leakage coverage on all of Tenant's personal
property, trade fixtures, inventory, fixtures and equipment located in, on or
about the Premises, including without limitation, all of Tenant's Initial
Alterations; and (vii) such other insurance or higher limits of liability as is
then customarily required to be carried for similar types of buildings within
the general vicinity of the Premises or as may be reasonably required by any of
Landlord's lenders.
13.2 INSURANCE POLICIES: Insurance required to be maintained by Tenant
shall be written by companies (i) licensed to do business in the State of
California, (ii) domiciled in the United States of America, and (iii) having a
"General Policyholders Rating" of at least A-:X as set forth in the most current
issue of "A.M. Best's Rating Guides." The deductible amount under the coverage
for flood and earthquake shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of any loss
relating thereto. Any deductible amounts under any of the insurance policies
required hereunder (except flood and earthquake) shall not exceed Ten Thousand
Dollars ($10,000.00). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance
and true and complete copies of any and all endorsements required herein for all
insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder at the time of execution
of this Lease by Tenant. Tenant shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to
<PAGE> 20
expiration of each policy, furnish Landlord with certificates of renewal or
"binders" thereof. Each certificate shall expressly provide that such policies
shall not be cancelable or otherwise subject to modification except after thirty
(30) days prior written notice to the parties named as additional insureds as
required in this Lease (except for cancellation for nonpayment of premium, in
which event cancellation shall not take effect until at least ten (10) days'
notice has been given to Landlord). Tenant shall have the right to provide
insurance coverage which it is obligated to carry pursuant to the terms of this
Lease under a blanket insurance policy, provided such blanket policy expressly
affords coverage for the Premises and for Landlord as required by this Lease.
13.3 ADDITIONAL INSUREDS AND COVERAGE: Landlord, any property
management company and/or agent of Landlord for the Premises and any lender(s)
of Landlord having a lien against the Premises shall be named as additional
insureds under all of the policies required in Section 13.1(iii) above.
Additionally, such policies shall provide for severability of interest. All
insurance to be maintained by Tenant shall, except for workers' compensation and
employer's liability insurance, be primary, without right of contribution from
insurance maintained by Landlord. Any umbrella/excess liability policy (which
shall be in "following form") shall provide that if the underlying aggregate is
exhausted, the excess coverage will drop down as primary insurance. The limits
of insurance maintained by Tenant shall not limit Tenant's liability under this
Lease. It is the parties' intention that the insurance to be procured and
maintained by Tenant as required herein shall provide coverage for any and all
damage or injury arising from or related to Tenant's operations of its business
and/or Tenant's or Tenant's Representatives' use of the Premises. It is not
contemplated or anticipated by the parties that the aforementioned risks of loss
be borne by Landlord's insurance carriers, rather it is contemplated and
anticipated by Landlord and Tenant that such risks of loss be borne by Tenant's
insurance carriers pursuant to the insurance policies procured and maintained by
Tenant as required herein.
13.4 FAILURE OF TENANT TO PURCHASE AND MAINTAIN INSURANCE: In the event
Tenant does not purchase the insurance required in this Lease or keep the same
in full force and effect throughout the Term of this Lease (including any
renewals or extensions), Landlord may after having given Tenant ten (10) days
prior written notice, but without obligation to do so, purchase the necessary
insurance and pay the premiums therefor. If Landlord so elects to purchase such
insurance, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, the amount
so paid by Landlord, upon Landlord's demand therefor. If Tenant fails to
maintain any insurance required in this Lease, Tenant shall be liable for all
losses, damages and costs resulting from such failure.
13.5 LANDLORD'S INSURANCE: Landlord shall maintain in full force and
effect during the Term of this Lease, subject to reimbursement as provided in
Section 7, policies of insurance which afford such coverages as are commercially
reasonable and as is consistent with other properties in Landlord's portfolio.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall obtain and keep in force during
the Term of this Lease, as an item of Operating Expenses, a policy or policies
in the name of Landlord, with loss payable to Landlord and to the holders of any
mortgages, deeds of trust or ground leases on the Premises ("Lender(s)"),
insuring loss or damage to the Building, including all improvements, fixtures
(other than trade fixtures) and permanent additions. However, all alterations,
additions and improvements made to the Premises by Tenant (other than the Tenant
Improvements) and including, but not limited to, Tenant's Initial Alterations,
shall be insured by Tenant rather than by Landlord. The amount of such insurance
procured by Landlord shall be equal to at least eighty percent (80%) of the full
replacement cost of the Building, including all improvements and permanent
additions as the same shall exist from time to time, or the amount required by
Lenders. At Landlord's option, such policy or policies shall insure against all
risks of direct physical loss or damage (including, without limitation, the
perils of flood and earthquake), including coverage for any additional costs
resulting from debris removal and reasonable amounts of coverage for the
enforcement of any ordinance or law regulating the reconstruction or replacement
of any undamaged sections of the Building required to be demolished or removed
by reason of the enforcement of any building, zoning, safety or land use laws as
the result of a covered cause of loss. If any such insurance coverage procured
by Landlord has a deductible clause, the deductible shall not exceed
commercially reasonable amounts, and in the event of any casualty, the amount of
such deductible shall be an item of Operating Expenses as so limited.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the
cost of maintaining insurance with respect to the Premises is increased as a
result of Tenant's acts, omissions, use or occupancy
<PAGE> 21
of the Premises, Tenant shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of, and for, such
increase(s) as Additional Rent.
14. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION: Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually waive their
respective rights of recovery against each other for any loss of, or damage to,
either parties' property to the extent that such loss or damage is insured by an
insurance policy required to be in effect at the time of such loss or damage.
Each party shall obtain any special endorsements, if required by its insurer
whereby the insurer waives its rights of subrogation against the other party.
This provision is intended to waive fully, and for the benefit of the parties
hereto, any rights and/or claims which might give rise to a right of subrogation
in favor of any insurance carrier. The coverage obtained by Tenant and Landlord
pursuant to Section 13 of this Lease shall include, without limitation, a waiver
of subrogation endorsement attached to the certificate of insurance. The
provisions of this Section 14 shall not apply in those instances in which such
waiver of subrogation would invalidate such insurance coverage or would cause
either party's insurance coverage to be voided or otherwise uncollectible.
15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY: Except to the extent of damage
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its
authorized representatives, Tenant agrees to protect, defend (with counsel
reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold Landlord and Landlord's lenders,
partners, members, property management company (if other than Landlord), agents,
directors, officers, employees, representatives, successors and assigns
(collectively, the "Landlord's Indemnitees") harmless and indemnify the
Landlord's Indemnitees from and against all liabilities, damages, claims,
losses, judgments, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees,
costs of court and expenses necessary in the prosecution or defense of any
litigation including the enforcement of this provision) arising from or in any
way related to, directly or indirectly, (i) Tenant's or Tenant's
Representatives' use of the Premises, (ii) the conduct of Tenant's business,
(iii) from any activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in
or about the Premises, (iv) any liability for injury to person or property of
Tenant, Tenant's Representatives, or third party persons, and/or (v) Tenant's
failure to perform any covenant or obligation of Tenant under this Lease. Tenant
agrees that the obligations of Tenant herein shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease.
Landlord agrees to protect, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable
to Tenant) and hold Tenant and Tenant's lenders, partners, members, agents,
directors, officers, employees, representatives, shareholders, successors and
assigns and each of their respective lenders, partners, members, agents,
directors, officers, employees, representatives, shareholders, successors and
assigns (collectively, the "Tenant's Indemnitees") harmless and indemnify the
Tenant's Indemnitees from and against all liabilities, damages, claims, losses,
judgments, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees, costs of
court and expenses necessary in the prosecution or defense of any litigation
including the enforcement of this provision) arising from (i) Landlord's gross
negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) Landlord's breach (after any
applicable cure periods) of its obligations to pay Taxes, and/or its obligations
under Sections 12.2 and 12.3 herein. Landlord agrees that the obligations of
Landlord herein shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 42 below, Tenant shall not, in
any event or circumstance, be permitted to offset or otherwise credit against
any payments of Rent required herein for matters for which Landlord may be
liable hereunder. Landlord and its authorized representatives shall not be
liable for any interference with light or air, or for any latent defect in the
Premises.
16. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASING:
16.1 PROHIBITION: Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, hypothecate,
encumber, grant any license or concession, pledge or otherwise transfer this
Lease (collectively, "assignment"), in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or
involuntarily or by operation of law, nor sublet or permit occupancy by any
person other than Tenant of all or any portion of the Premises without in each
instance first obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned,
<PAGE> 22
but which shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 16. Tenant hereby
agrees that Landlord may withhold its consent to any proposed sublease or
assignment if at the time of Tenant's request for Landlord's consent to any
proposed assignee or subtenant (i) Tenant is in default of its obligations under
this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, or (ii) the use to be made
of the Premises by the proposed assignee or subtenant differs from the uses
permitted under this Lease, or differs from customary uses generally acceptable
in comparable warehouse buildings in the San Leandro, Oakland, San Lorenzo,
Hayward, Union City market. Tenant further agrees that Landlord may withhold its
consent to any proposed sublease or assignment if the proposed sublessee or
assignee or its business is subject to compliance with additional requirements
of the ADA (defined below) for which Landlord would be responsible hereunder
and/or Environmental Laws (defined below) beyond those requirements which are
applicable to Tenant, unless the proposed sublessee or assignee shall (a) first
deliver plans and specifications for complying with such additional ADA
requirements and/or Environmental Laws and obtain Landlord's written consent
thereto, and (b) comply with all Landlord's reasonable conditions for or
contained in such consent, including without limitation, requirements for
security to assure the lien-free completion of such improvements. No consent to
any assignment or sublease shall constitute a waiver of the provisions of this
Section 16, and all subsequent assignments or subleases may be made only with
the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned, but which shall be subject to the provisions
of this Section 16.
16.2 REQUEST FOR CONSENT: Except as otherwise provided in Section 16.6,
if Tenant seeks to sublet or assign all or any portion of the Premises, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed
commencement of the sublease or assignment (the "Proposed Effective Date") the
following information and documents (the "Tenant's Notice"): (i) the name,
address and nature of the business of the proposed assignee or sublessee; (ii)
such information as to such assignee's or sublessee's financial responsibility
and condition as Landlord may reasonably require (including without limitation,
audited financial statements for no more than the three (3) most recent
consecutive fiscal years) to enable Landlord to determine its financial
condition; (iii) the aforementioned plans and specifications, if any; and (iv)
the Proposed Effective Date of such proposed assignment or sublease. Within ten
(10) business days after Landlord's receipt of the Tenant's Notice from Tenant
that Tenant seeks to sublet or assign all or any portion of the Premises,
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a copy of Landlord's standard form of sublease
or assignment agreement (as applicable), which assignment form shall be
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M, which instrument shall
be utilized for each proposed sublease or assignment (as applicable), and such
instrument shall include a provision whereby the assignee or sublessee assumes
all of Tenant's obligations hereunder and agrees to be bound by the terms
hereof. Tenant shall give Landlord the Tenant's Notice by registered or
certified mail addressed to Landlord at Landlord's address specified in the
Basic Lease Information. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of the
Tenant's Notice (the "Landlord Response Period") Landlord shall notify Tenant,
in writing, of its determination with respect to such requested proposed
assignment or sublease and the election to recapture as set forth in Section
16.3 below. If Landlord does not elect to recapture pursuant to the provisions
of Section 16.3 hereof and Landlord does consent to the requested proposed
assignment or sublease, Tenant may thereafter assign its interests in and to
this Lease or sublease all or a portion of the Premises to the same party and on
the same terms as set forth in the Tenant's Notice. Within said Landlord
Response Period, in addition to the other provisions hereof, Landlord shall have
the right to withhold consent to the proposed assignment or sublease (a) if the
proposed use is prohibited by the provisions of this Lease, and in particular,
the provisions of Section 10 hereof or if said use differs from customary uses
generally acceptable in comparable warehouse buildings in the San Leandro,
Oakland, San Lorenzo, Hayward, Union City market, (b) the proposed assignee's or
subtenant's financial condition, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, is not
reasonably adequate and sufficient in relation to the then remaining obligations
of Tenant under this Lease, or (c) if Tenant publicly offers or advertises to
assign or sublet at a rate that is below the then current market rate being
charged for space of similar nature and size by landlords of comparable
warehouse buildings in the San Leandro, Oakland, San Lorenzo, Hayward, Union
City market. Should Landlord fail to respond to Tenant's notice within
Landlord's Response Period, then, after Tenant's giving Landlord thirty (30)
days written notice (hereinafter the "Second Response Period"), the proposed
assignment or sublease shall be deemed approved by Landlord. Each permitted
assignee or sublessee shall assume and be deemed to assume this Lease and shall
be and remain liable jointly and severally with Tenant for payment of Rent and
for the due performance of, and compliance with all the terms, covenants,
conditions and agreements
<PAGE> 23
herein contained on Tenant's part to be performed or complied with, for the
Term of this Lease. No assignment or subletting shall affect the continuing
primary liability of Tenant (which, following assignment, shall be joint and
several with the assignee), and Tenant shall not be released from performing any
of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. An assignee of Tenant
shall become directly liable to Landlord for all obligations of Tenant
hereunder, but no sublease or assignment by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any
liability under this Lease. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that it
understands that Landlord's accounting department may process and accept Rent
payments without verifying that such payments are being made by Tenant, a
permitted sublessee or a permitted assignee in accordance with the provisions of
this Lease. Although such payments may be processed and accepted by such
accounting department personnel, any and all actions or omissions by the
personnel of Landlord's accounting department shall not be considered as
acceptance by Landlord of any proposed assignee or sublessee nor shall such
actions or omissions be deemed to be a substitute for the requirement that
Tenant obtain Landlord's prior written consent to any such subletting or
assignment, and any such actions or omissions by the personnel of Landlord's
accounting department shall not be considered as a voluntary relinquishment by
Landlord of any of its rights hereunder nor shall any voluntary relinquishment
of such rights be inferred therefrom. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in
Section 16.6 below, for purposes hereof, in the event Tenant is a corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity other than a natural person,
any change in the direct or indirect ownership of Tenant (whether pursuant to
one or more transfers) which results in a change of more than fifty percent
(50%) in the direct or indirect ownership of Tenant shall be deemed to be an
assignment within the meaning of this Section 16 and shall be subject to all the
provisions hereof. Any and all options, first rights of refusal, tenant
improvement allowances and other similar rights granted to Tenant in this Lease,
if any, shall not be assignable by Tenant (except for a permissible assignment
to a Related Entity, or to a non-related entity having a net worth of at least
Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000.00) and a net income of at least Four
Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) for the most recent fiscal year, as part of this
Lease) unless expressly authorized in writing by Landlord. As Additional Rent
hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days of Landlord's
written demand therefor, a fee in the amount of five hundred dollars ($500) plus
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for actual legal and other expenses incurred by
Landlord in connection with any actual or proposed assignment or subletting.
16.3 RECAPTURE: Except for an assignment to a Related Entity in
accordance with the provisions of Section 16 of the Lease, in the event the
sublease or assignment (i) by itself or taken together with prior sublease(s) or
partial assignment(s) covers or totals, as the case may be, more than
twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises or (ii) is
for a term which by itself or taken together with then existing or pending
subleases or partial assignments is greater than fifty percent (50%) of the
period remaining in the Term of this Lease as of the time of the Proposed
Effective Date, then Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by giving
written notice to Tenant within Landlord's Response Period or the Second
Response Period, to recapture the space described in the sublease or assignment.
If such recapture notice is given, it shall serve to terminate this Lease with
respect to the proposed sublease or assignment space, or, if the proposed
sublease or assignment space covers all the Premises, it shall serve to
terminate the entire Term of this Lease in either case, as of the Proposed
Effective Date. However, no termination of this Lease with respect to part or
all of the Premises shall become effective without the prior written consent,
where necessary, of the holder of each deed of trust encumbering the Premises or
any part thereof. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to the foregoing with
respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent shall be adjusted on the
basis of the proportion of square feet retained by Tenant to the square feet
originally demised and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in
full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not have
the right to recapture the proposed sublease or assignment space if the proposed
sublease or assignment is to an entity or party not considered to be a Related
Entity under this Lease if (a) such non-related entity or party has a net worth
of at least Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) and a net income of at least
Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for the most recent fiscal year and (b)
such non-related entity or party agrees to pay ninety percent (90%) of the then
Fair Rental Value (as such term is defined in Addendum 1 hereto) of the proposed
assignment or sublease space; provided, however, that ninety percent (90%) of
Fair Rental Value shall not be less than the Base Rent and Adjustments to Base
Rent as set forth in the Basic Lease Information.
16.4 EXCESS SUBLEASE RENTAL OR ASSIGNMENT CONSIDERATION: In the event
of any sublease or
<PAGE> 24
assignment of all or any portion of the Premises where the rent or other
consideration provided for or with respect to the sublease or assignment either
initially or over the term of the sublease or assignment exceeds the Rent or pro
rata portion of the Rent, as the case may be, for such space reserved in the
Lease, Tenant shall pay the Landlord monthly, as Additional Rent, at the same
time as the monthly installments of Rent are payable hereunder, fifty percent
(50%) of the excess of each such payment of rent or other consideration in
excess of the Rent called for hereunder.
16.5 WAIVER: Notwithstanding any assignment or sublease, or any
indulgences, waivers or extensions of time granted by Landlord to any assignee
or sublessee, or failure by Landlord to take action against any assignee or
sublessee, Tenant agrees that Landlord may, at its option, proceed against
Tenant without having taken action against or joined such assignee or sublessee,
except that Tenant shall have the benefit of any indulgences, waivers and
extensions of time granted to any such assignee or sublessee.
16.6 RELATED ENTITY EXCEPTION: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 16 and so long as Tenant (a) is not in default of any
of its obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure
periods, and (b) complies with all of the requirements of this Section 16.6,
Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord's prior written consent in any
of the following instances:
(i) to any assignment or sublease to any franchisee, joint
venture partner or any entity controlled or under common control with
Tenant or to a parent or wholly-owned subsidiary of Tenant (as such
terms may be defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended or supplemented from time to time), and in the case of
a sublease, the subtenants do not sublease more than an aggregate of
Five Thousand (5,000) rentable square feet of space, and each
subtenant's use of said subleased space conforms to the provisions of
this Lease, and in particular, Section 10 hereof; and
(ii) to any assignment to Tenant's successor in interest by
merger, consolidation, or acquisition of substantially all of Tenant's
assets so long as the successor in interest's net worth is equal to or
great than Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000.00) AND the
successor in interest's net income exceeds Four Million Dollars
($4,000,000.00) (both as reported in the successor in interest's
audited financial statements) for the most recent fiscal year, or, if
such successor in interest does not meet such financial criterion, then
such successor in interest delivers to Landlord a letter of credit in
the form and the amount then required by Landlord.
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a photocopy of the assignment or
sublease on or about the effective date thereof. The assignee or subtenant shall
use the Premises in accordance with the uses permitted herein, and in
particular, under Section 10 hereof, and shall be subject to all other terms,
covenants and provisions of this Lease. As a condition precedent to any
assignment or sublease made under this Section 16.6, Tenant shall give Landlord
at least ten (10) days' written notice of its intention to assign this Lease or
to sublet all or any portion of the Premises, which notice shall include: (A)
notice that Tenant intends to assign or sublease under Section 16.6 of the
Lease; (B) the terms and conditions of the assignment or sublease; and (C)
sufficient financial information to enable Landlord to determine whether or not
the assignee or Tenant's successor in interest has satisfied the financial
criterion set forth in subsection (ii) above. No assignment or subletting under
or pursuant to the provisions of this Section 16.6 shall affect the continuing
primary liability of Tenant (which, following assignment, shall be joint and
several with the assignee) throughout the term of the Lease and any renewal
periods provided herein, and Tenant shall not be released from performing any of
the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease throughout the term of the
Lease and any renewal periods provided herein. An assignee of Tenant under or
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 16.6 shall become directly liable to
Landlord for all obligations of Tenant hereunder, but no sublease or assignment
by Tenant under or pursuant to the provisions of this Section 16.6 shall relieve
Tenant of any liability under this Lease. For purposes of this Lease the term
"Related Entity" shall mean and refer to an entity which conforms with the
requirements of this Section 16.6.
17. AD VALOREM TAXES: Prior to delinquency, Tenant shall pay all taxes and
assessments levied upon trade fixtures, alterations, additions, improvements,
inventories and personal property located and/or
<PAGE> 25
installed on or in the Premises by, or on behalf of, Tenant; and if requested by
Landlord in writing, Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord copies of
receipts for payment of all such taxes and assessments. To the extent any such
taxes are not separately assessed or billed to Tenant, Tenant shall pay the
amount thereof as invoiced by Landlord.
18. SUBORDINATION: At the election of Landlord or any bona fide mortgagee or
deed of trust beneficiary with a lien on all or any portion of the Premises or
any ground lessor of the Lot, the rights of Tenant under this Lease and this
Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to: (i) all ground leases or
underlying leases which may now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the
Building or the land upon which the Building is situated or both, and (ii) the
lien of any mortgage or deed of trust which may now exist or hereafter be
executed in any amount for which the Building, the Lot, ground leases or
underlying leases, or Landlord's interest or estate in any of said items is
specified as security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord or any such
ground lessor, mortgagee, or any beneficiary shall have the right to subordinate
or cause to be subordinated any such ground leases or underlying leases or any
such liens to this Lease. If any ground lease or underlying lease terminates for
any reason or any mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in
lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant shall, notwithstanding any
subordination and upon the request of such successor to Landlord, attorn to and
become the Tenant of the successor in interest to Landlord, provided such
successor in interest will not and agrees not to disturb Tenant's use, occupancy
or quiet enjoyment of the Premises so long as Tenant is not in default of the
terms and provisions of this Lease beyond any applicable cure periods. The
successor in interest to Landlord following foreclosure, sale or deed in lieu
thereof shall not be (a) liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor or
with respect to events occurring prior to acquisition of ownership; (b) subject
to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior lessor; (c)
bound by prepayment of more than one (1) month's Rent; or (d) liable to Tenant
for the Damage Deposit nor responsible to Tenant for the return or
relinquishment of the Letter of Credit if the Damage Deposit is not actually
received by, or the Letter of Credit is not actually assigned and delivered to,
such successor in interest. Landlord shall be responsible to Tenant for the
return of the Damage Deposit or relinquishment of the Letter of Credit, until
and unless Landlord actually transfers such Damage Deposit or Letter of Credit
to the successor in interest. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute (and
acknowledge if required by Landlord, any lender or ground lessor) and deliver,
within ten (10) days of a demand or request by Landlord and in the form
requested by Landlord, ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary, any additional
documents evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease with respect to
any such ground leases or underlying leases or the lien of any such mortgage or
deed of trust. Tenant's failure to timely execute and deliver such additional
documents shall, at Landlord's option, constitute a material default hereunder.
Tenant hereby acknowledges that as of the date on which Landlord and Tenant
execute this Lease there is a deed of trust encumbering, and in force against,
the Premises (i.e. the Building and the Lot) in favor of Principal Mutual Life
Insurance Company (the "Current Lender"). As soon as practicable after the
parties execute this Lease but in no event later than forty-five (45) days
thereafter, Landlord shall cause the Current Lender to execute, acknowledge and
record in the official records of Alameda County, California (the "Official
Records") a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto, entitled "Subordination,
Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement." If Landlord at any time during the
Term of this Lease causes any portion of the Premises to be encumbered by a new
deed of trust or mortgage pursuant to which the beneficiary of such deed of
trust or mortgage is a party or entity other than the Current Lender, the
parties acknowledge and agree that the form and substance of any subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreement that may be requested to be executed
and delivered by Tenant in connection therewith will be the "Subordination,
Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement" attached to the Lease as Exhibit J. If
the foregoing occurs and/or if any party which acquires, or otherwise succeeds
to, Landlord's interest in the Premises, the Building or the Lot (including
without limitation, any ground lessee) encumbers or places a lien against any
portion of the Premises with a mortgage, deed of trust or similar security
instrument and the beneficiary thereof requires this Lease to be subordinated to
such encumbrance or lien, Landlord or the successor of Landlord will provide to
Tenant a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit J. Landlord or the successor of Landlord, the subject
beneficiary and Tenant shall cause any such subordination, non-disturbance and
attornment agreement to be executed, acknowledged and recorded concurrently
with, or as soon as practicable after, the execution and recordation of any such
lien, deed of
<PAGE> 26
trust or mortgage. In addition to the foregoing, if Landlord enters into a
ground lease with regard to the Building and/or the Lot and such ground lessee
requires this Lease to be subordinated to such ground lease, the ground lessee
and ground lessor will provide to Tenant a subordination, non-disturbance and
attornment agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J.
19. RIGHT OF ENTRY: Tenant grants Landlord or its agents the right to enter the
Premises upon twenty-four (24) hours prior written or verbal notice (except in
an emergency, in which event no prior notice shall be required) for purposes of
inspection, exhibition, posting of notices, repair or alteration. It is further
agreed that Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means Landlord
deems necessary to enter the Premises in an emergency. Landlord shall have the
right to place "for rent" or "for lease" signs on the outside of the Building
and in the Lot during the last nine (9) months of the Lease Term. Landlord shall
also have the right to place industry standard "for sale" signs on the outside
of the Building and in the Lot. Tenant hereby waives any claim from damages or
for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, or
any other loss occasioned thereby except for any claim for any of the foregoing
arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its
authorized representatives.
20. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE: Tenant shall execute (and acknowledge if required by
any lender or ground lessor) and deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) business
days after Landlord provides such to Tenant, a statement in writing certifying
that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified,
stating the nature of such modification), the date to which the Rent and other
charges are paid in advance, if any, acknowledging that there are not, to
Tenant's know-ledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder or
specifying such defaults as are claimed, and such other matters as Landlord may
reasonably require. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by
Landlord and any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises. Tenant's
failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon the
Tenant that (a) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification
except as may be represented by Landlord; (b) there are no uncured defaults in
Landlord's performance; and (c) not more than one month's Rent has been paid in
advance. Failure by Tenant to so deliver such certified estoppel certificate
shall be a material default of the provisions of this Lease.
21. TENANT'S DEFAULT: The occurrence of any one or more of the following events
shall, at Landlord's option, constitute a material default by Tenant of the
provisions of this Lease:
21.1 The abandonment (as statutorily defined) of the Premises by
Tenant. Tenant agrees to notice and service of notice as provided for in this
Lease and waives any right to any other or further notice or service of notice
which Tenant may have under any statute or law now or hereafter in effect;
21.2 The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent, Additional Rent
or any other payment required hereunder within five (5) business days after
Landlord's delivery of written notice to Tenant that said payment is past due.
Tenant agrees that any such written notice delivered by Landlord, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, shall serve as the statutorily required notice under
applicable law. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant agrees to notice and
service of notice as provided for in this Lease;
21.3 The failure by Tenant to observe, perform or comply with any of
the conditions, covenants or provisions of this Lease (except failure to make
any payment of Rent and/or Additional Rent) and such failure is not cured within
(i) thirty (30) days of the date on which Landlord delivers written notice of
such failure to Tenant for all failures other than with respect to Hazardous
Materials (defined in Section 30 hereof) or Utility Charges, (ii) fifteen (15)
days of the date on which Landlord delivered written notice of such failure to
Tenant for all failures in any way related to Hazardous Materials, and (iii) ten
(10) days of the date on which Landlord delivered written notice of such failure
to Tenant for all failures in any way related to Utility Charges. However,
Tenant shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder if such failure
cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30), fifteen (15), or ten (10)
day period, as applicable, and Tenant promptly commences, and thereafter
diligently proceeds with same to completion, all actions necessary to cure such
failure as soon as is commercially reasonable, but in no event shall the
<PAGE> 27
completion of such cure be later than ninety (90) days after the date on which
Landlord delivers to Tenant written notice of such failure, unless Landlord,
acting reasonably and in good faith, otherwise expressly agrees in writing to a
longer period of time based upon the circumstances relating to such failure as
well as the nature of the failure and the nature of the actions necessary to
cure such failure;
21.4 The making of a general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of
creditors, the filing of a voluntary petition by Tenant or the filing of an
involuntary petition by any of Tenant's creditors seeking the rehabilitation,
liquidation, or reorganization of Tenant under any law relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency or other relief of debtors and, in the case of an involuntary action,
the failure to remove or discharge the same within sixty (60) days of such
filing, the appointment of a receiver or other custodian to take possession of
substantially all of Tenant's assets or this leasehold, Tenant's insolvency or
inability to pay Tenant's debts or failure generally to pay Tenant's debts when
due, any court entering a decree or order directing the winding up or
liquidation of Tenant or of substantially all of Tenant's assets, Tenant taking
any action toward the dissolution or winding up of Tenant's affairs, the
cessation or suspension of Tenant's use of the Premises, or the attachment,
execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets or
this leasehold;
21.5 The making of any material misrepresentation or material omission
by Tenant in any materials delivered by or on behalf of Tenant to Landlord
pursuant to this Lease.
22. REMEDIES FOR TENANT'S DEFAULT:
22.1 LANDLORD'S RIGHTS: In the event of Tenant's material default under
this Lease beyond any applicable cure periods as provided in Section 21 herein,
Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises by any
lawful means in which case upon delivery of written notice by Landlord this
Lease shall terminate on the date specified by Landlord in such notice and
Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In
addition, the Landlord shall have the immediate right of re-entry whether or not
this Lease is terminated, and if this right of re-entry is exercised following
abandonment (as statutorily defined) of the Premises by Tenant, Landlord may
consider any personal property belonging to Tenant and left on the Premises for
a period of time exceeding fifteen (15) days to also have been abandoned;
provided, however, that said fifteen (15) days is not in addition to the
statutorily required time period under applicable law. No re-entry or taking
possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Section 22 shall be
construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such
intention is given to Tenant. If Landlord relets the Premises or any portion
thereof, (i) Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs
Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises or any part thereof, including,
without limitation, broker's commissions, expenses of cleaning, redecorating,
and further improving the Premises and other similar industry standard costs
(collectively, the "Reletting Costs"), and (ii) the rent received by Landlord
from such reletting shall be applied to the payment of, first, any indebtedness
from Tenant to Landlord other than Base Rent, Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses,
Administrative Expenses and Utility Expenses; second, all costs including
maintenance, incurred by Landlord in reletting; and, third, Base Rent, Operating
Expenses, Tax Expenses, Administrative Expenses, Utility Expenses and all other
sums due under this Lease. Any and all of the Reletting Costs shall be fully
chargeable to Tenant and shall not be prorated or otherwise amortized in
relation to any new lease for the Premises or any portion thereof. After
deducting the payments referred to above, any sum remaining from the rental
Landlord receives from reletting shall be held by Landlord and applied in
payment of future Rent as Rent becomes due under this Lease. In no event shall
Tenant be entitled to any excess rent received by Landlord. Reletting may be for
a period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this Lease. No act by
Landlord other than giving written notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease.
Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a
receiver on Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's interest under this
Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession. So
long as this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall have the right to remedy
any default of Tenant, to maintain or improve the Premises, to cause a receiver
to be appointed to administer the Premises and new or existing subleases and to
add to the Rent payable hereunder all of Landlord's reasonable costs in so
doing, with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date of such
expenditure. Landlord shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate
its damages hereunder.
<PAGE> 28
22.2 DAMAGES RECOVERABLE: If Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons
the Premises before the end of the Term, or if Tenant's right to possession is
terminated by Landlord because of a breach or default under this Lease, then in
either such case, Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages suffered by
Landlord as a result of Tenant's failure to perform its obligations hereunder,
including, but not limited to, the portion of any broker's or leasing agent's
commission incurred with respect to the leasing of the Premises to Tenant for
the balance of the Term of the Lease remaining after the date on which Tenant is
in default of its obligations hereunder, and all Reletting Costs, and the worth
at the time of the award (computed in accordance with paragraph (3) of
Subdivision (a) of Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code) of the amount by
which the Rent then unpaid hereunder for the balance of the Lease Term exceeds
the amount of such loss of Rent for the same period which Tenant proves could be
reasonably avoided by Landlord and in such case, Landlord prior to the award,
may relet the Premises for the purpose of mitigating damages suffered by
Landlord because of Tenant's failure to perform its obligations hereunder;
provided, however, that even though Tenant has abandoned the Premises following
such breach, this Lease shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect for
as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right of possession, and until
such termination, Landlord shall have the remedy described in Section 1951.4 of
the California Civil Code (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after
Tenant's breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant
has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations) and
may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to
recover the Rent from Tenant as it becomes due hereunder. The "worth at the time
of the award" within the meaning of Subparagraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of Section
1951.2 of the California Civil Code shall be computed by allowing interest at
the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Tenant waives redemption or relief from
forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179, or
under any other present or future law, in the event Tenant is evicted or
Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any default of Tenant
hereunder.
22.3 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE: The foregoing rights and remedies
of Landlord are not exclusive; they are cumulative in addition to any rights and
remedies now or hereafter existing at law, in equity by statute or otherwise, or
to any equitable remedies Landlord may have, and to any remedies Landlord may
have under bankruptcy laws or laws affecting creditor's rights generally.
22.4 WAIVER OF A TENANT DEFAULT: The waiver by Landlord of any default
of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed or construed a waiver of any
other default by Tenant hereunder or of any subsequent default of this Lease,
except for the default specified in the waiver.
23. HOLDING OVER: If Tenant holds possession of the Premises after the
expiration of the Term of this Lease with Landlord's consent, Tenant shall
become a tenant from month-to-month upon the terms and provisions of this Lease,
provided the monthly Base Rent during such hold over period shall be 150% of the
Base Rent due on the last month of the Lease Term, payable in advance on or
before the first day of each month, unless otherwise agreed by Landlord and
Tenant in writing. Acceptance by Landlord of the monthly Base Rent without the
additional fifty percent (50%) increase of Base Rent shall not be deemed or
construed as a waiver by Landlord of any of its rights to collect the increased
amount of the Base Rent as provided herein at any time. Such month-to-month
tenancy shall not constitute a renewal or extension for any further term. All
options, if any, granted under the terms of this Lease shall be deemed
automatically terminated and be of no force or effect during said month-to-month
tenancy. Termination of such tenancy shall occur by either Landlord or Tenant
giving written notice of termination to the other party at least thirty (30)
days prior to the effective date of termination. This paragraph shall not be
construed as Landlord's permission or lack of permission for Tenant to hold
over. Acceptance of Base Rent by Landlord following expiration or termination of
this Lease shall not constitute a renewal of this Lease.
24. LANDLORD'S DEFAULT: Landlord shall not be deemed in breach or "Default" of
this Lease unless Landlord fails within a reasonable time to perform an
obligation required to be performed by Landlord hereunder. For purposes of this
provision (except as otherwise set forth below), a reasonable time shall
<PAGE> 29
not be less than thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of written notice
specifying the nature of the obligation Landlord has not performed; provided,
however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than
thirty (30) days, after receipt of written notice, is reasonably necessary for
its performance, then Landlord shall not be in breach or default of this Lease
if performance of such obligation is commenced within such thirty (30) day
period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion. In the event of a
Default (i.e., a breach or default by Landlord of its obligations beyond the
notice and cure periods specified herein) by Landlord of its obligations under
this Lease, Tenant may exercise the rights conferred upon Tenant in Section 42
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the obligation of Landlord in question
is to repair the structural components of the roof (for which Landlord is
expressly responsible under Section 12.3 of this Lease) because the condition
thereof, through no fault of Tenant or Tenant's Representatives, is causing
leakage of water into the Premises, Landlord shall respond within five (5)
business days after Landlord's receipt of a written demand from Tenant for
repairs to be made. Should Landlord fail to commence any such required roof
repairs within five (5) business days, and diligently pursue the same to
completion, then Tenant shall have the right to cause such repairs to be made at
Landlord's expense. In such event, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a written
demand for the actual reasonable costs incurred by Tenant therefor (for purposes
hereof, "actual reasonable costs" shall include costs incurred for overtime
and/or expedited services to the extent reasonably appropriate given the damage
sustained to the Premises) together with written documentation evidencing such
costs and Landlord shall pay to Tenant such actual reasonable costs; provided,
if Landlord fails to pay to Tenant the undisputed amount of such actual
reasonable costs for said roof repairs within thirty (30) days of Landlord's
receipt of Tenant's written demand therefor, thereafter Tenant may pursue all
remedies available at law or in equity with respect thereto. If there exists a
good faith dispute between the parties regarding any portion of such actual
reasonable costs for said roof repairs, the parties shall meet, confer and
promptly resolve any such dispute.
25. PARKING: Tenant shall have the right to use on an exclusive basis all
parking spaces on the Lot during the Term of this Lease. Landlord shall exercise
reasonable efforts to insure that such spaces are available to Tenant for its
use, but Landlord shall not be required to enforce Tenant's right to use the
same.
26. SALE OF PREMISES: In the event of any sale of the Premises by Landlord or
the cessation otherwise of Landlord's interest therein, Landlord shall be and is
hereby entirely released from any and all of its obligations to perform or
further perform under this Lease and from all liability hereunder accruing from
or after the date of such sale or transfer; and the purchaser, at such sale or
any subsequent sale of the Premises shall be deemed, without any further
agreement between the parties or their successors in interest or between the
parties and any such purchaser, to have assumed and agreed to carry out any and
all of the covenants and obligations of the Landlord under this Lease. For
purposes of this Section 26, the term "Landlord" means only the owner and/or
agent of the owner as such parties exist as of the date on which Tenant executes
this Lease. A ground lease or similar long term lease by Landlord of the entire
Building shall be deemed a sale within the meaning of this Section 26. Tenant
agrees to attorn to such new owner provided such new owner agrees not to disturb
Tenant's use, occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises so long as Tenant is
not in default of any of the provisions of this Lease beyond applicable cure
periods.
27. WAIVER: No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of
either party on any default by the other party shall impair such a right or
remedy or be construed as a waiver. The subsequent acceptance of Rent by
Landlord after default by Tenant of any covenant or term of this Lease shall not
be deemed a waiver of such default, other than a waiver of timely payment for
the particular Rent payment involved, and shall not prevent Landlord from
maintaining an unlawful detainer or other action based on such breach. No
payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly
Rent and other sums due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of
the earliest Rent or other sums due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on
any check or accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and
satisfaction; and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to
Landlord's right to recover the balance of such Rent or other sum or pursue any
other remedy provided in this Lease. No failure, partial exercise or delay on
the part of either party in exercising any right, power
<PAGE> 30
or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.
28. CASUALTY DAMAGE: If the Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by
fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Landlord. In case the Building shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty
that fifty percent (50%) or more of the Building requires substantial alteration
or reconstruction, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, Landlord or Tenant may
terminate this Lease by notifying the other party in writing of such termination
within ninety (90) days after the date of such damage, in which event the Rent
shall be abated as of the date of such damage but only to the extent and during
the time period Tenant is not reasonably able, in Tenant's good faith business
judgment, to conduct its operations in the Building during such ninety (90) day
period. If the Building or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other
casualty such that the reparation of such damage or casualty shall require more
than nine (9) months to complete [subject to extension for delays attributable
to Tenant's or any of Tenant's Representatives' acts or omissions (collectively,
"Tenant Delays"), or to acts or events beyond Landlord's control including, but
not limited to, acts of God, earthquakes, strikes, lockouts, boycotts,
discontinuance of any utility or other service required for performance of the
reparation work, moratoriums, governmental agencies, delays on the part of
governmental agencies, weather, and the lack of availability or shortage of
specialized materials used in the construction of the Building (collectively,
"Force Majeure Delays")], then either Tenant or Landlord may terminate this
Lease by notifying the other party of such election to terminate this Lease
within thirty (30) days after the date on which it is determined by Landlord of
the length of time necessary to substantially complete such repairs, in which
event the Rent shall be abated as of the date of such damage but only to the
extent and during the time period Tenant is not reasonably able, in Tenant's
good faith business judgment, to conduct its operations in the damaged portion
of the Building. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the determination of
the percentage of the Building damaged or the length of time to complete the
reparation of such damage as soon as reasonably possible after Landlord is
notified in writing of the damage, but in all events within ninety (90) days of
Landlord's receipt of such notification from Tenant in writing. If neither party
exercises their rights to so elect to terminate this Lease in accordance with
the aforesaid provisions, and provided insurance proceeds are available to fully
repair the damage (excluding any deductible), Landlord shall within ninety (90)
days after the date of such damage commence to repair and restore the Building
and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building (except that
Landlord shall not be responsible for any Tenant Delays or any Force Majeure
Delays and all time periods for performance by Landlord shall be extended
commensurately by the period of time attributable to such delays) to
substantially the same condition in which it was immediately prior to the
happening of the casualty; provided, Landlord shall not be required to rebuild,
repair, or replace any part of Tenant's furniture, furnishings, fixtures,
equipment removable by Tenant, the Tenant Improvements (other than the upgrade
for the fire protection system as set forth in Exhibit B hereto) or any other
improvements, alterations or additions installed by or for the benefit of Tenant
under the provisions of this Lease, or Tenant's Initial Alterations. Landlord
shall not in any event be required to spend for such work an amount in excess of
the insurance proceeds (excluding any deductible) actually received by Landlord
as a result of the fire or other casualty. Landlord shall not be liable for any
inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, injury to the business of Tenant, loss of
use of any part of the Premises by the Tenant or loss of Tenant's personal
property resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof, except
that, subject to the provisions of the next sentence, Landlord shall allow
Tenant a fair diminution of Rent during the time and to the extent the Building
is unfit for occupancy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if the Building or any portion thereof be damaged by fire or other
casualty resulting from the intentional or negligent acts or omissions of Tenant
or any of Tenant's Representatives, (i) the Rent shall not be diminished during
the repair of such damage, (ii) Tenant shall not have any right to terminate
this Lease due to the occurrence of such casualty or damage, and (iii) Tenant
shall be liable to Landlord for the cost and expense of the repair and
restoration of all or any portion of the Building caused thereby (including,
without limitation, any deductible) to the extent such cost and expense is not
covered by insurance proceeds. In the event the holder of any indebtedness
secured by the Building requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to such
indebtedness, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within thirty (30) days after
the date of notice to Tenant of any such event, whereupon all rights and
obligations shall cease and terminate hereunder except for those obligations
expressly intended to survive any such termination of this Lease. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 28, Tenant hereby
<PAGE> 31
waives the provisions of Sections 1932(2.), 1933(4.), 1941 and 1942 of the
California Civil Code.
29. CONDEMNATION: If twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Premises is
condemned by eminent domain, inversely condemned or sold in lieu of condemnation
for any public or quasi-public use or purpose ("Condemned"), then Tenant or
Landlord may terminate this Lease as of the date when physical possession of the
Premises is taken and title vests in such condemning authority, and Rent shall
be adjusted to the date of termination. Tenant shall not because of such
condemnation assert any claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for
any compensation because of such condemnation, and Landlord shall be entitled to
receive the entire amount of any award without deduction for any estate of
interest or other interest of Tenant; provided, however, the foregoing
provisions shall not preclude Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, from
obtaining any separate award to Tenant for loss of or damage to Tenant's trade
fixtures, equipment and removable personal property or for damages for cessation
or interruption of Tenant's business provided such award is separate from
Landlord's award and provided further such separate award does not diminish nor
impair the award otherwise payable to Landlord. In addition to the foregoing,
Tenant shall be entitled to seek compensation for the relocation costs
recoverable by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code
Section 7262. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall,
if necessary, promptly proceed to restore the Building to substantially the same
condition then existing prior to such partial condemnation, allowing for the
reasonable effects of such partial condemnation, and a proportionate allowance
shall be made to Tenant, as solely determined by Landlord, for the Rent
corresponding to the time during which, and to the part of the Premises of
which, Tenant is deprived on account of such partial condemnation and
restoration. Landlord shall not be required to spend funds for restoration in
excess of the amount received by Landlord as compensation awarded.
30. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS/HAZARDOUS MATERIALS:
30.1 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS DISCLOSURE CERTIFICATE: Prior to executing
this Lease, Tenant has completed, executed and delivered to Landlord Tenant's
initial Hazardous Materials Disclosure Certificate (the "Initial HazMat
Certificate"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit G and incorporated
herein by this reference. Tenant covenants, represents and warrants to Landlord
that, to the best of Tenant's knowledge after due inquiry, the information on
the Initial HazMat Certificate is true and correct and accurately describes the
use(s) of Hazardous Materials which will be made and/or used on the Premises by
Tenant. Within fifteen (15) days of Landlord's written request therefor, Tenant
shall commencing with the date which is one year from the Commencement Date and
continuing every year thereafter, complete, execute, and deliver to Landlord, a
Hazardous Materials Disclosure Certificate ("the "HazMat Certificate")
describing Tenant's present use of Hazardous Materials on the Premises, and any
other reasonably necessary documents related to such Hazardous Materials as
requested by Landlord. The HazMat Certificate required hereunder shall be in
substantially the form as that which is attached hereto as Exhibit E.
30.2 DEFINITION OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: As used in this Lease, the term
Hazardous Materials shall mean and include (a) any hazardous or toxic wastes,
materials or substances, and other pollutants or contaminants, which are or
become regulated by any Environmental Laws; (b) petroleum, petroleum by
products, gasoline, diesel fuel, crude oil or any fraction thereof; (c) asbestos
and asbestos containing material, in any form, whether friable or non-friable;
(d) polychlorinated biphenyls; (e) radioactive materials; (f) lead and
lead-containing materials; or (g) any other material, waste or substance
displaying toxic, reactive, ignitable or corrosive characteristics, as all such
terms are used in their broadest sense, and are defined or become defined by any
Environmental Law (defined below). For purposes of this Lease, the term
"Hazardous Materials" shall not include nominal amounts of ordinary household
cleaners, office supplies and janitorial supplies which are not actionable under
any Environmental Laws.
30.3 PROHIBITION; ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS: Except for and to the extent of
the type and quantities of Hazardous Materials specified in the Initial HazMat
Certificate, Tenant shall not be entitled to use nor store any Hazardous
Materials on, in, or about any portion of the Premises without, in each
instance, obtaining Landlord's prior written consent thereto. If Landlord
consents to any such usage or storage, then
<PAGE> 32
Tenant shall be permitted to use and/or store only those Hazardous Materials
that are necessary for Tenant's business and to the extent disclosed in the
HazMat Certificate and as expressly approved by Landlord in writing, provided
that such usage and storage is only to the extent of the quantities of Hazardous
Materials as specified in the then applicable HazMat Certificate as expressly
approved by Landlord and provided further that such usage and storage is in full
compliance with any and all local, state and federal environmental, health
and/or safety-related laws, statutes, orders, standards, courts' decisions,
ordinances, rules and regulations (as interpreted by judicial and administrative
decisions), decrees, directives, guidelines, permits or permit conditions,
currently existing and as amended, enacted, issued or adopted in the future
which are or become applicable to Tenant or all or any portion of the Premises
(collectively, the "Environmental Laws"). Tenant agrees that any material
changes to the type and/or quantities of Hazardous Materials specified in the
most recent HazMat Certificate may be implemented only with the prior written
consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord's sole
discretion. Tenant shall not be entitled nor permitted to install any tanks
under, on or about the Premises for the storage of Hazardous Materials without
the express written consent of Landlord, which may be given or withheld in
Landlord's sole discretion. Landlord shall have the right at all times during
the Term of this Lease to (i) inspect the Premises upon twenty-four (24) hours'
prior notice, except in the event of an emergency and/or an actual spill or
release, in which event(s) no prior notice shall be required, (ii) conduct tests
and investigations to determine whether Tenant is in compliance with the
provisions of this Section 30, and (iii) request lists of all Hazardous
Materials used, stored or otherwise located on, under or about any portion of
the Premises and/or the Lot thereof. The cost of all such inspections, tests and
investigations shall be proportionately borne by Tenant commensurate with the
extent of Hazardous Materials revealed by any such inspection, test or
investigation (such determination to be made by one or more environmental
consultants selected by Landlord) to be present in, on or about the Premises
and/or the Lot thereof due to the acts or omissions of Tenant or any of Tenant's
Representatives and all other costs and expenses shall be borne by parties other
than Tenant. The aforementioned rights granted herein to Landlord and its
representatives shall not create (a) a duty on Landlord's part to inspect, test,
investigate, monitor or otherwise observe the Premises or the activities of
Tenant and Tenant's Representatives with respect to Hazardous Materials,
including without limitation, Tenant's operation, use and any remediation
related thereto, or (b) liability on the part of Landlord and its
representatives for Tenant's use, storage, disposal or remediation of Hazardous
Materials, it being understood that Tenant shall be solely responsible for all
liability in connection therewith.
30.4 TENANT'S ENVIRONMENTAL OBLIGATIONS: Tenant shall give to Landlord
immediate verbal and follow-up written notice of any spills, releases,
discharges, disposals, emissions, migrations, removals or transportation of
Hazardous Materials on, under or about any portion of the Premises or in any of
the Lot thereof, provided, however, that Tenant has actual knowledge of such
event(s). Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, covenants and warrants to
promptly investigate, clean up, remove, restore and otherwise remediate
(including, without limitation, preparation of any feasibility studies or
reports and the performance of any and all closures) any spill, release,
discharge, disposal, emission, migration or transportation of Hazardous
Materials arising from or related to the intentional or negligent acts or
omissions of Tenant or Tenant's Representatives such that the affected portions
of the Premises and any adjacent property are returned to the condition existing
prior to the appearance of such Hazardous Materials. Any such investigation,
clean up, removal, restoration and other remediation shall only be performed
after Tenant has obtained Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld so long as such actions would not potentially have
a material adverse long-term or short-term effect on any portion of the
Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to respond
immediately to an emergency without first obtaining Landlord's prior written
consent. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall conduct and perform, or
cause to be conducted and performed, all closures as required by any
Environmental Laws or any agencies or other governmental authorities having
jurisdiction thereof. If Tenant fails to so promptly investigate, clean up,
remove, restore, provide closure or otherwise so remediate, Landlord may, but
without obligation to do so, take any and all steps necessary to rectify the
same and Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for all costs
and expenses to Landlord of performing investigation, clean up, removal,
restoration, closure and remediation work. All such work undertaken by Tenant,
as required herein, shall be performed in such a manner so as to enable Landlord
to make full economic use of the Premises after the satisfactory completion of
such work.
<PAGE> 33
30.5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNITY: In addition to Tenant's obligations as
set forth hereinabove, Tenant and Tenant's officers and directors agree to, and
shall, protect, indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to
Landlord) and hold Landlord and the other Indemnitees harmless from and against
any and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities, losses
(including, without limitation, diminution in value of any portion of the
Premises, damages for the loss of or restriction on the use of rentable or
usable space, and from any adverse impact of Landlord's marketing of any space
within the Building), suits, administrative proceedings and costs (including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' and consultant fees and court costs)
arising at any time during or after the Term of this Lease in connection with or
related to, directly or indirectly, the use, presence, transportation, storage,
disposal, migration, removal, spill, release or discharge of Hazardous Materials
on, in or about any portion of the Premises as a result (directly or indirectly)
of the intentional or negligent acts or omissions of Tenant or any of Tenant's
Representatives. Neither the written consent of Landlord to the presence, use or
storage of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about any portion of the
Premises nor the strict compliance by Tenant with all Environmental Laws shall
excuse Tenant and Tenant's officers and directors from its obligations of
indemnification pursuant hereto. Tenant shall not be relieved of its
indemnification obligations under the provisions of this Section 30.5 due to
Landlord's status as either an "owner" or "operator" under any Environmental
Laws.
30.6 SURVIVAL: Tenant's obligations and liabilities pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 30 shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease. If it is determined by Landlord that the condition of
all or any portion of the Premises is not in compliance with the provisions of
this Lease with respect to Hazardous Materials, including without limitation all
Environmental Laws at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then
in Landlord's sole discretion, Landlord may require Tenant to hold over
possession of the Premises until Tenant can surrender the Premises to Landlord
in the condition in which the Premises existed as of the Commencement Date and
prior to the appearance of such Hazardous Materials except for reasonable wear
and tear, including without limitation, the conduct or performance of any
closures as required by any Environmental Laws. For purposes hereof, the term
"reasonable wear and tear" shall not include any deterioration in the condition
or diminution of the value of any portion of the Premises in any manner
whatsoever related to directly, or indirectly, Hazardous Materials. Any such
holdover by Tenant will be with Landlord's consent and will otherwise be subject
to the provisions of Section 23 of this Lease, provided, however, that Tenant
shall not have the right to terminate until such time as all closure
documentation has been received by Landlord in form and substance acceptable to
Landlord.
30.7 TENANT'S EXCULPATION: Tenant shall not be liable for nor otherwise
obligated to Landlord under any provision of the Lease with respect to (i) any
claim (including without limitation, third-party claims), remediation
obligation, investigation obligation, liability, cause of action, attorney's
fees, consultants' cost, expense or damage resulting from any Hazardous Material
present in, on or about the Premises to the extent not caused nor otherwise
permitted, directly or indirectly, by Tenant or Tenant's Representatives; or
(ii) the removal, investigation, monitoring or remediation of any Hazardous
Material present in, on or about the Premises caused by any source, including
third parties other than Tenant or any of Tenant's Representatives, as a result
of or in connection with the acts or omissions of persons other than Tenant or
Tenant's Representatives; provided, however, Tenant shall be fully liable for
and otherwise obligated to Landlord under the provisions of this Lease for all
liabilities, costs, damages, penalties, claims, judgments, expenses (including
without limitation, attorneys' and experts' fees and costs) and losses to the
extent (a) Tenant or any of Tenant's Representatives contributes to the presence
of such Hazardous Materials or Tenant and/or any of Tenant's Representatives
exacerbates the conditions caused by such Hazardous Materials, or (b) Tenant
and/or Tenant's Representatives allows or permits persons over which Tenant or
any of Tenant's Representatives has control and/or for which Tenant or any of
Tenant's Representatives are legally responsible for, to cause such Hazardous
Materials to be present in, on, under, through or about any portion of the
Premises or does not take all reasonably appropriate actions to prevent such
persons over which Tenant or any of Tenant's Representatives has control and/or
for which Tenant or any of Tenant's Representatives are legally responsible from
causing the presence of Hazardous Materials in, on, under, through or about any
portion of the Premises.
<PAGE> 34
31. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: Tenant, for the reliance of Landlord, any lender
holding or anticipated to acquire a lien upon any portion of the Premises or any
prospective purchaser of any portion of the Premises, within ten (10) days after
Landlord's request therefor, but not more often than once annually so long as
Tenant is not in default of this Lease, shall deliver to Landlord the most
recent audited annual financial statements of Tenant which statements shall be
prepared or compiled by a certified public accountant and shall present fairly
the financial condition of Tenant at such dates and the result of its operations
and changes in its financial positions for the periods ended on such dates. If
an audited financial statement has not been prepared, Tenant shall provide
Landlord with an unaudited annual financial statement and/or such other
information, the type and form of which are acceptable to Landlord in Landlord's
reasonable discretion, which reflects the financial condition of Tenant. All
assignees and subtenants of Tenant, including without limitation, all Related
Entities of Tenant, shall comply with the provisions of this Section 31.
32. GENERAL PROVISIONS:
32.1 TIME. Time is of the essence in this Lease and with respect to
each and all of its provisions in which performance is a factor.

of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and have acknowledged a short
form memorandum of this Lease (the "Memorandum"). As soon as reasonably

Landlord shall record the Memorandum. Tenant shall not record this Lease.
32.4 LANDLORD'S PERSONAL LIABILITY. The liability of Landlord (which,
for purposes of this Lease, shall include Landlord and the owner of the Building
if other than Landlord) to Tenant for any default by Landlord under the terms of
this Lease shall be limited to the actual interest of Landlord and its present
or future partners or members in the Premises, and Tenant agrees to look solely
to the Premises for satisfaction of any liability and shall not look to other
assets of Landlord nor seek any recourse against the assets of the individual
partners, members, directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees of
Landlord (including without limitation, any property management company of
Landlord); it being intended that Landlord and the individual partners, members,
directors, officers, shareholders, agents and employees of Landlord (including
without limitation, any property management company of Landlord) shall not be
personally liable in any manner whatsoever for any judgment or deficiency. The
liability of Landlord under this Lease is limited to its actual period of
ownership of title to the Premises, and Landlord shall be automatically released
from further performance under this Lease upon transfer of Landlord's interest
in the Premises or the Building, except for obligations or liabilities accruing
during Landlord's actual period of ownership prior to the date of transfer of
ownership.
32.5 SEPARABILITY. Any provisions of this Lease which shall prove to be
invalid, void or illegal shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other
provisions hereof and such other provision shall remain in full force and
effect.
32.6 CHOICE OF LAW. This Lease shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of California.

incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such litigation or other
proceeding, and any appeal thereof. Such costs, expenses and fees shall be
included in and made a part of the judgment recovered by the prevailing party,
if any.
<PAGE> 35
32.8 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease supersedes any prior agreements,
representations, negotiations or correspondence between the parties, and
contains the entire agreement of the parties on matters covered. No other
agreement, statement or promise made by any party, that is not in writing and
signed by all parties to this Lease, shall be binding.
32.9 WARRANTY OF AUTHORITY. Each person executing this Lease on behalf
of a party represents and warrants that (1) such person is duly and validly
authorized to do so on behalf of the entity it purports to so bind, and (2) if
such party is a partnership, corporation or trustee, that such partnership,
corporation or trustee has full right and authority to enter into this Lease and
perform all of its obligations hereunder. Each party hereby warrants that this
Lease is valid and binding upon itself and enforceable against itself in
accordance with its terms.
32.10 NOTICES. Any and all notices and demands required or permitted to
be given hereunder to Landlord shall be in writing and shall be sent: (a) by
United States mail, certified and postage prepaid; or (b) solely for purposes
associated with any legal proceeding involving or relating to this Lease, by
personal delivery; or (c) by overnight courier, addressed to Landlord at 101

all notices and demands required or permitted to be given hereunder to Tenant
shall be in writing and shall be sent: (i) by United States mail, certified and
postage prepaid; or (ii) solely for purposes associated with any legal
proceeding involving or relating to this Lease, by personal delivery; or (iii)
by overnight courier, all of which shall be addressed to Tenant at the Premises.
Notice and/or demand shall be deemed given upon the earlier of actual receipt or
the third day following deposit in the United States mail. Any notice or
requirement of service required by any statute or law now or hereafter in
effect, including, but not limited to, California Code of Civil Procedure
Sections 1161, 1161.1, and 1162 (including any amendments, supplements or
substitutions thereof), is hereby waived by Tenant.
32.11 JOINT AND SEVERAL. If Landlord or Tenant consists of more than
one person or entity, the obligations of all such persons or entities shall be
joint and several.
32.12 COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. Each provision to be performed by
Tenant hereunder shall be deemed to be both a covenant and a condition.
32.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. The parties hereto shall and they hereby do
waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either
of the parties hereto against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of
or in any way related to this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant,
Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, the Building or the Park, and/or any
claim of injury, loss or damage.
32.14 COUNTERCLAIMS. In the event Landlord commences any proceedings
for nonpayment of Rent, Additional Rent, or any other sums or amounts due
hereunder, Tenant shall not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or
description in any such proceedings, unless such counterclaim must, as a matter
of law, be joined with Landlord's proceeding; provided, however, nothing
contained herein shall be deemed or construed as a waiver of the Tenant's right
to assert such claims in any separate action brought by Tenant or the right to
offset the amount of any final judgment owed by Landlord to Tenant.
32.15 MERGER. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant,
the mutual termination or cancellation hereof by Landlord and Tenant, or a
termination of this Lease by Landlord for a material default by Tenant
hereunder, shall not work a merger, and, at the sole option of Landlord, (i)
shall terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or (ii) may
operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all of such subleases or
subtenancies. Landlord's election of either or both of the foregoing options
shall be exercised by delivery by Landlord of written notice thereof to Tenant
and all known subtenants under any sublease.
33. SIGNS: All signs and graphics of every kind visible in or from public view
or corridors or the exterior of the Premises shall be subject to Landlord's
prior written approval and any applicable
<PAGE> 36
governmental laws, ordinances, and regulations, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Tenant shall remove all such signs and
graphics prior to the termination of this Lease. Such installations and removals
shall be made in a manner as to avoid damage or defacement of the Premises; and
Tenant shall repair any damage or defacement, including without limitation,
discoloration caused by such installation or removal. If Tenant fails to do so
upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord shall have
the right, at its option, to deduct from the Damage Deposit such sums as are
reasonably necessary and actually expended to remove such signs, including, but
not limited to, the costs and expenses associated with any repairs necessitated
by such removal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any neon,
flashing or moving sign(s) or banners be permitted hereunder. Tenant further
agrees to maintain any such sign, awning, canopy, advertising matter, lettering,
decoration or other thing as may be approved in good condition and repair at all
times.
34. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION: Upon any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will
give written notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed
of trust or mortgagee of a mortgage covering the Premises who has provided
Tenant with a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in
accordance with the provisions of Section 18 herein, together with an address
for receiving notice, and shall offer such beneficiary or mortgagee a reasonable
opportunity to cure the default (which in no event shall be more than
seventy-five (75) days). If such default cannot be cured within such time
period, then such additional time as may be reasonably necessary will be given
to such beneficiary or mortgagee to effect such cure so long as such beneficiary
or mortgagee has commenced the cure within the original time period and
thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion, in which event this Lease
shall not be terminated while such cure is being diligently pursued. Tenant
agrees that each lender to whom this Lease has been assigned by Landlord is an
express third party beneficiary hereof. Tenant shall not make any prepayment of
Rent more than one (1) month in advance without the prior written consent of
each such lender. Tenant waives the collection of any deposit from such
lender(s) or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale of such lender(s)' deed of
trust unless the lender(s) or such purchaser shall have actually received and
not refunded the deposit. Tenant agrees to make all payments under this Lease to
the lender with the most senior encumbrance upon receiving a direction, in
writing, to pay said amounts to such lender. Tenant shall comply with such
written direction to pay without determining whether an event of default exists
under such lender's loan to Landlord.
35. QUITCLAIM: Upon any termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at Landlord's
request, execute, have acknowledged and deliver to Landlord a quitclaim deed of
Tenant's interest in and to the Premises. If Tenant fails to so deliver to
Landlord such a quitclaim deed, Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord shall have
the full authority and right to record such a quitclaim deed signed only by
Landlord and such quitclaim deed shall be deemed conclusive and binding upon
Tenant.
36. Intentionally omitted
37. REPRESENTATIONS OF TENANT: Tenant hereby represents to Landlord, for the
express benefit of Landlord, that Tenant has undertaken a complete and
independent evaluation of the risks inherent in the execution of this Lease and
the operation of the Premises for the use permitted hereby, and that, based upon
said independent evaluation, Tenant has elected to enter into this Lease and
hereby assumes all risks with respect thereto. Tenant hereby further represents
to Landlord, for the express benefit of Landlord, that in entering into this
Lease, Tenant has not relied upon any statement, fact, promise or representation
(whether express or implied, written or oral) not specifically set forth herein
in writing and that any statement, fact, promise or representation (whether
express or implied, written or oral) made at any time to Tenant, which is not
expressly incorporated herein in writing, is hereby waived by Tenant.
38. COMPLIANCE WITH AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT: Landlord and Tenant hereby
agree and acknowledge that the Premises may be subject to the requirements of
the Americans with Disabilities Act,
<PAGE> 37
a federal law codified at 42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq, including, but not limited to
Title III thereof, all regulations and guidelines related thereto, together with
any and all laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes and statutes now or
hereafter enacted by local or state agencies having jurisdiction thereof,
including all requirements of Title 24 of the State of California, as the same
may be in effect on the date of this Lease and may be hereafter modified,
amended or supplemented (collectively, the "ADA"). Any Tenant Improvements to be
constructed hereunder shall be in compliance with the requirements of the ADA,
and all costs incurred for purposes of compliance therewith shall be a part of
and included in the costs of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall be solely
responsible for conducting its own independent investigation of this matter and
for ensuring that the design of all Tenant Improvements strictly comply with all
requirements of the ADA. Subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 7 of the
Lease, if any barrier removal work or other work is required to the Premises
under the ADA, then such work shall be the responsibility of Landlord; provided,
if such work is required under the ADA as a result of Tenant's particular use of
the Premises or any work or alteration made to the Premises by or on behalf of
Tenant, then such work shall be performed by Landlord at the sole cost and
expense of Tenant. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this provision,
Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for fully and
faithfully complying with all applicable requirements of the ADA, including
without limitation, not discriminating against any disabled persons in the
operation of Tenant's business in or about the Premises, and offering or
otherwise providing auxiliary aids and services as, and when, required by the
ADA. Within ten (10) days after receipt, Landlord and Tenant shall advise the
other party in writing, and provide the other with copies of (as applicable),
any notices alleging violation of the ADA relating to any portion of the
Premises; any claims made or threatened in writing regarding noncompliance with
the ADA and relating to any portion of the Premises; or any governmental or
regulatory actions or investigations instituted or threatened regarding
noncompliance with the ADA and relating to any portion of the Premises. Tenant
shall and hereby agrees to protect, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable
to Landlord) and hold Landlord and the other Indemnitees harmless and indemnify
the Indemnitees from and against all liabilities, damages, claims, losses,
penalties, judgments, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees, costs of court and expenses necessary in the prosecution or defense of any
litigation including the enforcement of this provision) arising from or in any
way related to, directly or indirectly, Tenant's or Tenant's Representatives'
violation of the ADA. Tenant agrees that the obligations of Tenant herein shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
39. BROKERAGE COMMISSION: Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants for
the benefit of the other that it has had no dealings with any real estate
broker, agent or finder in connection with the Premises and/or the negotiation
of this Lease, except for the Broker(s) (as set forth on Page 1), and that it
knows of no other real estate broker, agent or finder who is or might be
entitled to a real estate brokerage commission or finder's fee in connection
with this Lease or otherwise based upon contacts between the claimant and
Tenant. Each party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against
any and all liabilities or expenses arising out of claims made for a fee or
commission by any real estate broker, agent or finder in connection with the
Premises and this Lease other than Broker(s), if any, resulting from the actions
of the indemnifying party. Any real estate brokerage commission or finder's fee
payable to the Broker(s) in connection with this Lease shall only be payable and
applicable to the extent of the initial Term of the Lease and to the extent of
the Premises as same exist as of the date on which Tenant executes this Lease.
Unless expressly agreed to in writing by Landlord and Broker(s), no real estate
brokerage commission or finder's fee shall be owed to, or otherwise payable to,
the Broker(s) for any renewals or other extensions of the initial Term of this
Lease or for any additional space leased by Tenant other than the Premises as
same exists as of the date on which Tenant executes this Lease. Tenant further
represents and warrants to Landlord that Tenant will not receive (i) any portion
of any brokerage commission or finder's fee payable to the Broker(s) in
connection with this Lease or (ii) any other form of compensation or incentive
from the Broker(s) with respect to this Lease.
40. QUIET ENJOYMENT: Landlord covenants with Tenant, upon the paying of Rent and
observing and keeping the covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease on
its part to be kept, and during the periods that Tenant is not otherwise in
default of any of the terms or provisions of this Lease beyond applicable cure
periods as provided in Section 21 herein, (i) that Tenant shall and may
peaceably and
<PAGE> 38
quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises during the Term of this Lease, and
(ii) neither Landlord, nor any successor or assign of Landlord, shall disturb
Tenant's occupancy or enjoyment of the Premises.
41. LANDLORD'S ABILITY TO PERFORM TENANT'S UNPERFORMED OBLIGATIONS:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Tenant
shall fail to perform any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions to
be performed or complied with by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, after Landlord's
notice and beyond applicable cure periods as provided in Section 21 herein,
and/or if the failure of Tenant relates to a matter which in Landlord's judgment
reasonably exercised is of an emergency nature and such failure shall remain
uncured for a period of time commensurate with such emergency, then Landlord
may, at Landlord's option without any obligation to do so, and in its sole but
reasonable discretion as to the necessity therefor, perform any such term,
provision, covenant or condition, or make any such payment and Landlord by
reason of so doing shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage
thereby sustained by Tenant or anyone holding under or through Tenant. If
Landlord so performs any of Tenant's obligations hereunder, the full amount of
the cost and expense entailed or the payment so made or the amount of the loss
so sustained shall immediately be owing by Tenant to Landlord, and Tenant shall
promptly pay to Landlord upon demand, as Additional Rent, the full amount
thereof with interest thereon from the date of payment at the greater of (i) ten
percent (10%) per annum, or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law.
42. TENANT'S ABILITY TO PERFORM LANDLORD'S UNPERFORMED OBLIGATIONS:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Landlord
shall fail to perform any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions
(other than those described in Sections 12.2 and 12.3 of this Lease) to be
performed or complied with by Landlord pursuant to this Lease, after the
expiration of all applicable cure periods for Landlord's and any mortgagee's
benefit as set forth in Sections 24 and 34 respectively and to the extent
applicable, then Tenant may, at Tenant's option without any obligation to do so,
after delivery to Landlord of an additional commercially reasonable advance
written notice, which advance notice shall not be less than an additional ten
(10) days, perform any such term, provision, covenant or condition. If Tenant so
performs any of Landlord's obligations hereunder, the full amount of the
reasonable cost and expense incurred by Tenant shall be owing by Landlord to
Tenant, and Landlord shall pay to Tenant the full undisputed amount thereof
within sixty (60) days of Landlord's receipt of Tenant's written demand and
accompanying invoices or other documentation therefor.
In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Lease, if Landlord shall fail to perform any of Landlord's repair and/or
maintenance obligations set forth under Sections 12.2 and 12.3 of this Lease,
and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days of the date on which
Tenant delivers written notice of such failure to Landlord (or, if such failure
cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, then such
additional period as may be required, provided Landlord has promptly commenced
to cure and is diligently proceeding thereafter to complete such cure as soon as
is commercially reasonable, but in no event more than an additional one hundred
eighty (180) days), then Tenant may, at Tenant's option without any obligation
to do so, perform any such repair and/or maintenance obligation.
(Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the failure of Landlord relates to the
structural components of the roof because the condition thereof, through no
fault of Tenant or Tenant's Representatives, is causing leakage of water into
the Premises, then the provisions of Section 24 with respect thereto shall
apply). If Tenant so performs or causes to be performed any of Landlord's
obligations under Section 12.2, then Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of
such repair and/or maintenance obligations directly and, accordingly, shall have
no obligation to reimburse Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Section
7 herein with respect thereto. If Tenant so performs or causes to be performed
any of Landlord's obligations under Section 12.3, then the full undisputed
amount of the cost and expense incurred by Tenant shall be owing by Landlord to
Tenant, and Landlord shall pay to Tenant the full amount thereof within sixty
(60) days of Landlord's receipt of Tenant's written demand and accompanying
invoices or other documentation therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any
such repair or maintenance is due solely to alterations or modifications to the
Premises made or caused by Tenant or Tenant's Representatives, then the
provisions of this Section 42 shall not apply and Tenant shall have no rights
hereunder.
<PAGE> 39
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there exists a good faith dispute
between the parties regarding any portion of such actual reasonable costs or
expenses, then the parties shall meet, confer and promptly resolve any such
dispute.
43. TENANT EQUIPMENT FINANCING: Landlord hereby acknowledges that Tenant has
informed Landlord that Tenant intends to obtain financing from one or more
lenders for equipment to be used in Tenant's operations conducted within the
Premises (the "Equipment Financings"). Landlord hereby agrees to execute and
deliver to Tenant a waiver by Landlord in favor of each such lender of any
rights Landlord may have in and to such equipment, such waiver to be in
substantially the form of the Landlord's Waiver and Agreement, attached hereto
as Exhibit K and made a part hereof (the "Waiver"). Tenant shall not do any of
the following in connection with any such Equipment Financings: (i) record or
permit the recordation of the Waivers in the official records in the county in
which the Premises are located; and/or (ii) file any UCC-1 financing statements
with regard to such equipment in which reference is made to any portion of the
Premises which would have the effect of causing a lien to be placed against any
portion of the Premises. Tenant hereby agrees to immediately deliver to Landlord
written notice of the date on which any such Equipment Financing is fully paid
by Tenant to any such lender.
44. TENANT'S SATELLITE DISH: Tenant has advised Landlord that it desires to
install a satellite dish not more than eight (8) feet in diameter on the roof of
the Building (the "Satellite Dish"). Landlord and Tenant hereby covenant and
agree that the installation, repair, maintenance and replacement of the
Satellite Dish by Tenant shall be governed by, and in accordance with, the
provisions of Addendum 2 attached hereto, entitled "Agreement to Install
Satellite Antenna Receiving Dish."
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Lease is executed by the parties as of the
Lease Date referenced on Page 1 of this Lease.

Landlord shall return the Preliminary Plans and Specifications to Tenant, who
shall make all necessary revisions within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt

C. MISCELLANEOUS. All deliveries of the Preliminary Plans and
Specifications, the Final Preliminary Plans and Specifications, the Final Plans
and Specifications, and the Construction Documents shall be delivered by

W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, Tenant has by a written lease, dated for reference purposes as of April
1, 1998, as amended all future amendments and extensions approved by Mortgagee
(hereinafter called the "Lease") leased from Landlord all or part of certain
real estate and improvements thereon located in the City of Oakland, California,
as more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Demised
Premises"); and
WHEREAS, Landlord is encumbering the Demised Premises as security for a loan
from Mortgagee to Landlord (the "Mortgage"); and
WHEREAS, Landlord has previously encumbered the Demised Premises as security for
a loan from Lender to Landlord in the form of a Deed of Trust, Security
Agreement and Assignment of Rents (hereinafter called the "Mortgage"); and
WHEREAS, Tenant, Landlord and Mortgagee have agreed to the following with
respect to their mutual rights and obligations pursuant to the Lease and the
Mortgage;
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) paid by each
party to the other and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt whereof is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby covenant and agree as follows:
(1) Tenant's interest in the Lease and all rights of Tenant thereunder,

modification, renewal or replacement thereof.
(2) In the event of any foreclosure of the Mortgage or any conveyance
in lieu of foreclosure, provided that the Tenant shall not then be in default
beyond any grace period under the Lease and that the Lease shall then be in full
force and effect, then Mortgagee shall neither terminate the Lease nor join
Tenant in foreclosure proceedings, nor disturb Tenant's possession, and the
Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Tenant
and Mortgagee.
(3) After the receipt by Tenant of notice from Mortgagee of any
foreclosure of the Mortgage or any conveyance of the Demised Premises in lieu of
foreclosure, Tenant will thereafter attorn to and recognize Mortgagee or any
purchaser from Mortgagee at any foreclosure sale or otherwise as its substitute
landlord on the terms and conditions set forth in the Lease.

Tenant may be entitled to assert against the Landlord as a result of any act or
omission of Landlord occurring prior to Mortgagee's obtaining possession of the

(6) Tenant will give Mortgagee the same notices, including, without
limitation, notices of default, which Tenant has delivered to Landlord, and

Landlord may be entitled under the Lease, without the obligation to cure such
defaults or take such action, and such time in addition to that which landlord
is entitled as may be reasonably necessary to cure such defaults or take such
action, provided Mortgagee has indicated its intention to cure or take action
and pursues the same with diligence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee's
rights contained herein shall in no way impair nor otherwise adversely affect
Tenant's right and remedies under Sections 24 and 42 of the Lease.
(7) Mortgagee and Landlord have represented to Tenant, and Tenant
therefore acknowledges, that pursuant to an assignment of leases and rents,
Mortgagee is presently entitled to collect and receive all rents to be paid
under the Lease directly from Tenant. Based upon such representations, Tenant
agrees to pay all rent and installment of rents, and installments as they become
due, directly to Mortgagee in the manner and at such address as Mortgagee may
hereinafter direct by written notice to Tenant.
(8) So long as the Loan is outstanding, mortgagee or its designee may
enter upon the Demised Premises at all reasonable times to visit or inspect the
Demised Premises.
(9) There shall be no merger of the Lease or the leasehold estate
created thereby with any other estate in the Demised Premises, including without
limitation, the fee estate, by reason of the same person or entity acquiring or
holding, directly or indirectly, the Lease and said leasehold estate and any
such other estate.

Lessor or Mortgagee to the other parties hereto.
(11) The Lease may not be amended, altered, or terminated without the
prior written consent of Mortgagee.
(12) This Agreement and its terms shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns,
including without limitation, any purchaser at any foreclosure sale.
(13) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which

Property or any impairment of Lender's security interest.

of certain premises located at 5800 Coliseum Way, Oakland, California (the
"Premises"). The terms, conditions and provisions of this Exhibit L are hereby
incorporated into and are made a part of the Lease. Any capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such
terms as set forth in the Lease.
1. TENANT'S INITIAL ALTERATIONS. Subject to and in accordance with the
provisions set forth below in this Exhibit L, Tenant shall be solely
responsible, at Tenant's sole cost and expense and in a good and workmanlike
manner, for the planning, construction, installation and completion of Tenant's
Initial Alterations. Upon execution of the Lease by Landlord, Landlord shall be
deemed to have approved the scope and preliminary schematic design of Tenant's
Initial Alterations as described in Section 3 of this Exhibit L and as shown on
the Floor Plan and the Development Drawings attached to this Exhibit L and made
a part hereof by this reference. Tenant represents and agrees that Tenant's
Initial Alterations shall not compromise, nor in any way impair, the structural
integrity of the Building or necessitate the obtaining of any variances for the
Premises and/or the Building.
2. FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord its final
working architectural and engineering plans, specifications and drawings ("Final
Plans and Specifications") for Tenant's Initial Alterations. Landlord shall have
the right to reasonably approve or disapprove (with specific reasons therefor)
Tenant's Final Plans and Specifications but only if, and to the extent that,
such Final Plans and Specifications in Landlord's reasonable opinion (i) do not
materially conform to the scope and preliminary design of Tenant's Initial
Alterations, as set forth in Section 3 below and as shown on the attached Floor
Plan and Development Drawings; or (ii) include modifications that compromise or
otherwise impair the structural integrity of the Building; or (iii) do not

industry-standard quality of construction for comparable Class A warehouse

With respect to any such items for which Landlord has approval rights as set
forth hereinabove, Landlord shall reasonably approve or disapprove (with
specific reasons therefor) Tenant's first submission of the Final Plans and
Specifications within five (5) business days after Landlord receives same. If
disapproved, Landlord shall return the first submission of the Final Plans and
Specifications to Tenant, who shall make all necessary revisions and re-submit
the revised Final Plans and Specification to Landlord within five (5) business
days after Tenant's receipt thereof. This procedure shall be repeated until
Landlord approves, in

writing, the Final Plans and Specifications. If Landlord has not approved or
disapproved such Final Plans and Specifications within the five (5) business
days, Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord. If Landlord has not
approved or disapproved the first submission or any subsequent revised Final
Plans and Specifications within five (5) days of receipt of Tenant's notice,
Landlord shall be deemed conclusively to have approved the Final Plans and
Specifications. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord and
Tenant agree to exercise good faith and due diligence to cause any disputes

and/or any Notices required under this Exhibit L shall be delivered by messenger
service, by personal hand delivery or by overnight parcel service to Landlord's
and Tenant's Addresses, both as set forth on page 1 of this Lease. To the extent
Landlord has the right to approve the Final Plans and Specifications and/or the
Construction Documents as hereinabove set forth, Landlord's interest in doing so
is to protect the Premises, the Building and Landlord's interest therein.
Accordingly, Tenant shall not rely upon Landlord's approvals, and Landlord shall
not be the guarantor of, nor responsible for, the adequacy and correctness or
accuracy of the Final Plans and Specifications, and the Construction Documents,
or the compliance thereof with applicable laws, and Landlord shall incur no

ADDENDUM 1
OPTION TO EXTEND THE LEASE TERM
This Addendum 1 (the "Addendum") is incorporated as part of that certain Lease
Agreement, dated for reference purposes as of April 1, 1998 (the "Lease"), by
and between Intelligent Systems for Retail, a California corporation, dba ISR
("Tenant"), and LINCOLN COLISEUM DISTRIBUTION CENTER, A California Limited
Partnership ("Landlord"), for the leasing of those certain premises located at
5800 Coliseum Way, Oakland, California as more particularly described in Exhibit
A to the Lease (the "Premises"). Any capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms as set
forth in the Lease.
1. GRANT OF EXTENSION OPTION. Subject to the provisions, limitations and
conditions set forth in Paragraph 5 below, Tenant shall have an option
("Option") to extend the initial term of the Lease for an additional five (5)
year period (the "Extended Term").
2. TENANT'S OPTION NOTICE. If Landlord does not receive written notice from
Tenant of its exercise of this Option on a date which is not more than three
hundred sixty (360) days nor less than two hundred seventy (270) days prior to
the end of the initial term of the Lease (the "Option Notice"), all rights under
this Option shall automatically terminate and shall be of no further force or
effect.
3. ESTABLISHING THE MONTHLY BASE RENT FOR THE EXTENDED TERM. The schedule of
Base Rent for the Extended Term shall be the then current market rent for
similar warehouse space within the competitive market area of the Premises (the
"Fair Rental Value"). The term "Fair Rental Value" of the Premises means the
current market rental value of the Premises as of the commencement of the
Extended Term, taking into consideration all relevant factors, including, but
not limited to, length of term; the uses permitted under the Lease; the quality,
size, design and location of the Premises; the condition and value of existing
tenant improvements, (excluding Tenant's trade fixtures, personal property,
equipment and improvements installed and paid solely by Tenant); the monthly
base rent, beginning base rent and escalations paid by tenants for premises
comparable to the Premises, and located within the competitive market area of
the Premises. The competitive market area shall not extend beyond the cities of
Oakland, San Leandro, San Lorenzo, Hayward and Union City. If Landlord and
Tenant are unable to agree on the Fair Rental Value for the Extended Term within
sixty (60) days of receipt by Landlord of the Option Notice for the Extended
Term, Landlord and Tenant each, at its cost and by giving written notice to the
other party, shall appoint a competent and impartial commercial real estate
broker (hereinafter "broker") with at least five (5) years' full-time commercial
real estate brokerage experience in the area of the Premises to establish their
opinion of the Fair Rental Value for the Extended Term. If either Landlord or
Tenant does not appoint a broker within ten (10) business days after the other
party has given written notice of the name of its broker, the single broker
appointed shall be the sole broker and shall set the Fair Rental Value for the
Extended Term. If two (2) brokers are appointed by Landlord and Tenant as stated
in this paragraph, they shall meet promptly and attempt to set the Fair Rental
Value. If the two (2) brokers are unable to agree within thirty (30) days after
the second broker has been appointed, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to
jointly select a third broker with the same qualifications within ten (10) days
after the last day of the time period the two (2) brokers agree upon the Fair
Rental Value. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the third broker,
either Landlord or Tenant by giving ten (10) days' notice to the other party,
can apply to the judicial arbitration and mediation system of the county in
which the
<PAGE> 80
Premises is located for the selection of a third broker who meets the
qualifications stated in this paragraph. Landlord and Tenant each shall bear
one-half (2) of the cost of appointing the third broker and of paying the third
broker's fee. The third broker, however selected, shall be a person who has not
previously acted in any capacity for either Landlord or Tenant. Within thirty
(30) days after the selection of the third broker, the third broker shall select
one of the two Fair Rental Values submitted by the first two brokers as the Fair
Rental Value for the Extended Term, or shall consider (but not necessarily
average) the first two opinions and render a third opinion which shall be
binding on Landlord and Tenant. If either of the first two brokers fails to
submit their opinion of the Fair Rental Value within the time frames set forth
above, then the single Fair Rental Value submitted shall automatically be the
Fair Rental Value for the Extended Term.
Upon determination of the Fair Rental Value for the Extended Term pursuant to
the terms outlined above, Landlord and Tenant shall immediately execute an
amendment to the Lease solely to set forth the Fair Rental Value of the Premises
as hereinabove defined. Such amendment shall set forth among other things, the
Fair Rental Value for the Extended Term and the actual commencement date and
expiration date of the Extended Term. All other terms and conditions shall
remain unchanged including, without limitation, the Damage Deposit of Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) and the Letter of Credit in the face amount of One
Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($180,000.00), which Letter of Credit shall be
extended to and including September 1, 2013. Tenant shall have no other right to
further extend the term of the Lease under this Addendum unless Landlord and
Tenant otherwise agree in writing.
4. CONDITION OF PREMISES AND BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS FOR THE EXTENDED TERMS. If
Tenant timely and properly exercises this Option, in strict accordance with the
terms contained herein: (1) Tenant shall accept the Premises in its then "As-Is"
condition and, accordingly, Landlord shall not be required to perform any
additional improvements to the Premises; and (2) except as set forth above in
Section 3 of this Addendum 1 in connection with the joint compensation of the
third broker, if necessary, Tenant hereby agrees that it will solely be
responsible for any and all brokerage commissions and finder's fees payable to
any broker now or hereafter procured or hired by Tenant or who claims a
commission based on any act or statement of Tenant ("Tenant's Broker") in
connection with the Option; and Tenant hereby further agrees that Landlord shall
in no event or circumstance be responsible for the payment of any such
commissions and fees to Tenant's Broker.
5. LIMITATIONS ON, AND CONDITIONS TO, EXTENSION OPTION. Except for an assignment
to a Related Entity or to a non-related entity having a net worth of at least
Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000.00) and a net income of at least Four
Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) for the most recent fiscal year, both in
accordance with the provisions of Section 16 of the Lease, this Option is
personal to Tenant. Otherwise this Option may not be assigned, voluntarily or
involuntarily, separate from or as part of the Lease. Should the Lease be
assigned to a Related Entity or a non-related entity (which has met the
above-stated financial criterion) both in accordance with the provisions of
Section 16 of the Lease and this Addendum 1, and should the Option be exercised,
then Tenant shall in all events and circumstances remain primarily liable to
Landlord, and shall not be released or discharged from the performance of
Tenant's obligations under the Lease. After the effective date of any
assignment, Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable under the Lease for all
of Tenant's obligations under the Lease. At Landlord's option, all rights to
exercise this Option shall terminate and be of no force or effect if any of the
following individual events occur or any combination thereof occur: (1) Tenant
has been in default beyond any applicable cure period at any time during the
initial term of the Lease, or is currently in default beyond any applicable cure
period of any provision of the Lease; and/or (2) Tenant, the Related Entity, or
a non-related entity which has met the above-stated financial criterion (as the
case may be) has failed to exercise properly this Option in a timely manner in
strict accordance with the provisions of this Addendum; and/or (3) except for a
permitted assignment or sublease as set forth in Section 16 herein, Tenant no
longer has possession of all or any part
<PAGE> 81
of the Premises under the Lease; and/or (4) if the Lease has been terminated
earlier, pursuant to the terms of the Lease.
6. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to each and every
time period set forth in this Addendum.
<PAGE> 82
