For so long as the Security Deposit has not been repaid to Subtenant, it shall constitute an account payable by Sublandlord to Subtenant within thirty (30) days after the termination of this Sublease to the extent, if any, that the Security Deposit has not been applied by Sublandlord as hereinafter provided. If Subtenant shall default beyond any applicable notice and cure periods as defined herein with respect to any term and condition hereunder, then the Security Deposit or any part hereof may be applied by Sublandlord (but Sublandlord shall not be obligated to do so) to the actual damages sustained by Sublandlord by reason thereof. No such application shall be construed as an agreement to limit the amount of Sublandlord’s claim or, as a waiver of any damage or release of any indebtedness, and Sublandlord’s claim not recovered in full from the Security Deposit. If Sublandlord has so applied all or any part of the Security Deposit, Sublandlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) at any time thereafter to demand that Subtenant pay to Sublandlord a sum equal to the amounts so applied so that Sublandlord will always be in possession of a sum equal to the amount of the Security Deposit. Subtenant shall make each such remittance within thirty (30) days following such demand by Sublandlord. Said remittance shall thereupon constitute a part of the Security Deposit subject to the terms and provisions hereof. The failure of Subtenant to make any such requested remittance within such thirty (30) day period, and after applicable notice and cure period, may be treated by Sublandlord as a failure by Subtenant to make timely payment of rent and as an event of default.

liable under the Lease and without obtaining their consent. No such action by Landlord shall relieve such persons from any liability to Landlord or otherwise with regard to the Sublet Premises.

3. Relationship with Landlord. Tenant hereby assigns and transfers to Landlord the Tenant’s interest in the Sublease and all rentals and income arising therefrom, subject to the terms of this Section 3. Landlord, by consenting to the Sublease agrees that until a default shall occur in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, Tenant may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under the Sublease. In the event Tenant shall default in the performance of its obligations to Landlord under the Lease (whether or not Landlord terminates the Lease), Landlord may, at its option, by giving notice to Tenant, either (i) terminate the Sublease, (ii) elect to receive and collect, directly from Subtenant, all rent any other sums owing and to be owed under the Sublease, as further set forth in Section 3.1, below, and/or (iii) elect to succeed to Tenant’s interest in the Sublease, and cause Subtenant to attorn to Landlord, as further set forth in Section 3.2, below.

3.1 Landlord’s Election to Receive Rents. Landlord shall not, by reason of the Sublease, nor by reason of the collection of rents or any other sums from the Subtenant pursuant to Section 3(ii), above, be deemed liable to Subtenant for any failure of Tenant to perform and comply with any obligation of Tenant, and Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Subtenant, upon receipt of any written notice from Landlord stating that a default exists in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, to pay to Landlord the rents and any other sums due and to become due under the Sublease. Tenant agrees that Subtenant shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and request from Landlord, and that Subtenant shall pay any such rents and any other sums to Landlord without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Tenant to the contrary. Tenant shall not have any right or claim against Subtenant for any such rents or any other sums so paid by Subtenant to Landlord. Landlord shall credit tenant with any rent received by Landlord under such assignment but the acceptance of any payment on account of rent from the Subtenant as the result of any such default shall in no manner whatsoever be deemed an attornment by the Landlord to Subtenant or by Subtenant to Landlord, be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any provision of the Lease or serve to release Tenant from any liability under the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements under the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment of rent from the Subtenant directly to Landlord, regardless of the circumstances or reasons therefor, shall in no manner whatsoever be deemed an attornment by the Subtenant to Landlord in the absence of a specific written agreement signed by Landlord to such an effect.

3.2 Landlord’s Election of Tenant’s Attornment. In the event Landlord elects, at its option, to cause Subtenant to attorn to Landlord pursuant to Section 3(iii), above, Landlord shall undertake the obligations of Tenant under the Sublease from the time of the exercise of the option, but Landlord shall not (i) be liable for any prepayment of more than one (1) month’s rent or any security deposit paid by Subtenant to Tenant, (ii) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under the Sublease or for any other defaults of Tenant under the Sublease, (iii) be subject to any defenses or offsets previously accrued which Subtenant may have against Tenant, or (iv) be bound by any changes or modifications made to the Sublease without the written consent of Landlord.

4. General Provisions.

4.1 Consideration for Sublease. Tenant and Subtenant represent and warrant that there are no additional payments of rent or any other consideration of any type payable by Subtenant to Tenant with regard to the Sublet Premises other than as disclosed in the Sublease.

4.2 Brokerage Commission. Tenant and Subtenant covenant and agree that under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable for any brokerage commission or other charge or expense in connection with the Sublease and Tenant and Subtenant agree to protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from the same and from any cost or expense (including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees) incurred by Landlord in resisting any claim for any such brokerage commission.

1.1.1 Real Property, Building and Project. The “Building,” at; that term is defined herein below, the parking structure beneath the Building (the “On-site Parking Area”), the Land upon which the Building stands and the “Common Areas,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2, below, are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Real Property.” The “Building” means the office building located at Two Rincon Center, San Francisco, California consisting of six (6) floors of office and retail space for lease to general office tenants (the “Two Rincon Office Portion”), including all tenant improvements and fixtures and other improvements and fixtures thereto, retail establishments on the first floor (the “Two Rincon Retail Portion”), United States Postal Service Facility (“Postal Facility”) located on the ground floor, and all portions of the Building leased or designated for lease to tenants for office use, parking, storage or support facilities. The rentable square footage of the Building is set forth in Section 6.1 of the Summary. On top of the Building, but not part of the Building for purposes of this Lease, are Seventeen (17) floors containing residential apartment units (the “Apartment Portion”). The “Project,” as that term is used in this Lease, shall include the Real Property and “One Rincon Center,” as that term is defined below, and the Apartment Portion. “One Rincon Center” is a five-story plus basement building comprised of retail stores located on the first (1st) floor (“One Rincon Retail Portion”) and offices located on the second (2nd) through fifth (5th) floors (“One Rincon Office Portion”). The On-site Parking Area also services One Rincon Center. The Project is shown on the Site Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A.

1.1.2 Common Areas.

months after delivery of the Downsize Notice (the “Downsize Termination Date”), this Lease with respect to the Downsize Space shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect and Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of their respective obligations under this Lease with respect to the Downsize Space, except for those obligations set forth in this Lease which relate to the Downsize Space and specifically survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, including without limitation, the payment by either party of all amounts owed to the other party under this Lease with respect to the Downsize Space up to and including the Termination Date. Tenant shall surrender any Downsize Space in accordance with the terms of Section 15.2, below.

For purposes of this Lease, “rentable square feet” shall be calculated pursuant to Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings, ANSI Z65.1 – 1980 (“BOMA”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that the number of usable and rentable square feet contained in the Premises initially leased by Tenant pursuant to this Lease are as set forth in Section 6.2 of the Summary, and are not subject to remeasurement at any time, except pursuant to the terms of Section 1.3, above.

1.6 Right of First Offer. Tenant shall have an ongoing right of first offer during the Lease Term with respect to all of the space in the Office Portion of the Building (the “First Offer Space”). Tenant’s right of first offer shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.6. The rights contained in this Section 1.6 shall not be personal to the Tenant originally named in this Lease and, accordingly, may be exercised by Tenant, its successors as tenant hereunder, or any permitted assignee of all tenant’s interest as tenant hereunder.

1.6.1 Procedure for Offer. Landlord shall notify Tenant (the “First Offer Notice”) from time to time as soon as Landlord determines that any portion of the First Offer Space will become available for lease to third parties provided, however, such notification shall be given not earlier than the date which is twelve (12) months before the actual date of physical availability of such First Offer Space. Pursuant to such First Offer Notice, Landlord shall offer to lease to Tenant such First Offer Space. The First Offer Notice shall describe the space so offered to Tenant, shall set forth the “First Offer Rent,” as that term is defined in this Section 1.6.1, below, and shall set forth the other terms upon which Landlord is willing to lease such space to Tenant. The rent payable by Tenant for the First Offer Space (the “First Offer Rent”) shall be at the “Fair Market Rent” for the First Offer Space, as that term is defined in Section 2.2.1.3 of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon request by Tenant, Landlord shall, within five (5) business days thereafter, provide to Tenant in writing a listing (the “Available Space List”) of the First Offer Space that is then available for leasing or which Landlord reasonably believes will become available for leasing in the twenty-four (24) month period following the date of Tenant’s request, and such Available Space List shall set forth the existing term expiration date, the number of any renewal options and their respective exercise mechanisms and dates, the term of any renewal options, and a description of the specific additional space rights relating to the First Offer Space, for each then existing lease.

If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant’s right of first offer with respect to the space described in the First Offer Notice, then within fifteen (15) days of delivery of the First Offer Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intention to exercise its right of first offer with respect to all or any portion Of the space described in the First Offer Notice on the terms contained in such notice. In the event that, concurrently with Tenant’s exercise of the first offer right, Tenant notifies Landlord that it does not accept the First Offer Rent set forth in the First Offer Notice, the First Offer Rent shall be determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.2.2 of this Lease; otherwise, the First Offer Rent shall be as set forth in Landlord’s First Offer Notice. If Tenant does not so notify Landlord within the fifteen (15) day period of Tenant’s exercise of its first offer right, then Landlord shall be free to lease the space described in the First Offer Notice to anyone to whom Landlord desires on any terms Landlord desires, for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days commencing upon the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period, after which time, Tenant’s rights to such space under this Section 1.6 shall renew.

1.6.3 Amendment to Lease. If Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s right to lease the First Offer Space as set forth herein, Landlord and Tenant shall within thirty (30) days thereafter execute an amendment to this Lease adding such First Offer Space to the then-existing Premises upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease and as set forth in the First Offer Notice and this Section 1.6, provided that the term of the First Offer Space shall be coterminous with the Lease Term.

ARTICLE 2

INITIAL LEASE TERM: OPTION TERMS

2.1 Initial Lease Term. The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of this Lease except for the provisions of this Lease relating to the payment of Rent. The term of this Lease (the “Lease Term”) shall be as set forth in Section 7.1 of the Summary and shall commence on the date (the “Lease Commencement Date”) set forth in Section 7.2 of the Summary (subject, however, to the terms of Section 5 of the Tenant Work Letter), and shall expire on the date (the “Lease Expiration Date”) set forth in Section 7.3 of the Summary, unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Lease Year” shall mean each consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term commencing on the Lease Commencement Date; provided that the last Lease Year shall end on the Lease Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing definition of the Lease Commencement Date for the Premises, if Tenant commences business operations from any portion of the Premises or the Additional Space, as the case may be, prior to the occurrence of the Lease Commencement Date (each space occupied to be known as the “Pre-Occupancy Space”), all of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply to that portion of the Premises containing the Pre-Occupancy Space, except that during the period commencing on the date Tenant commences business operations from the applicable Pre-Occupancy Space and continuing until the Lease Commencement Date (the “Pre-Occupancy Period”), Tenant shall have no obligation to pay Base Rent (but shall be responsible for parking charges for all parking spaces used); provided that if Tenant occupies more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises for the purpose of conducting business in the Premises, then Tenant shall pay- to Landlord in accordance with the terms of Article 3, Base Rent for the Pre-Occupancy Space equal to the product of (a)              Dollars (            ), and (b) the rentable square feet of the Pre-Occupancy Space. Tenant shall have the right to commence business operations from any portion of the Premises during the Pre-Occupancy Period, provided that a certificate of occupancy or its equivalent permitting occupancy shall have been issued by the appropriate governmental authorities for the Pre-Occupancy Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall be responsible to pay “Tenant’s Share” of “Direct Expenses,” as those terms are defined in Section 4.1 of this Lease, during June, 1997.

2.1.1 Delivery of the Premises. Including Base Building, to Tenant. The date (the “Delivery Date”) upon which Landlord shall deliver the Premises, including the completed “Base Building,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1 of the Tenant Work Letter with the

Accordingly, Landlord’s ability to deliver the Premises to Tenant is subject to the surrender of such portions of the Premises by each such Existing Tenant. If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever (including the failure of an Existing Tenant to surrender its premises), cannot cause the Delivery Date to occur by March 1, 1997, and, if applicable, taking into account that GSA is a government agency, Landlord shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Existing Tenant vacates its premises as soon as possible after February 1, 1997, and upon Tenant’s request, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant evidence which demonstrates that Landlord is using such commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the vacation of its premises by the Existing Tenant.

2.1.3 Monetary Penalties For Failure to Timely Delivery the Base Building. If Landlord does not cause the Delivery Date to occur by March 1, 1997, then for every day that Landlord fails to cause the Delivery Date to occur by March 1, 1997, Tenant shall receive a Base Rent credit equal to two (2) days of Base Rent; provided, however, Tenant shall not receive a Base Rent credit pursuant to this Section 2.1.3 in excess of (            ).

2.2 Option Terms.

2.2.1 Option Rights. Tenant shall have two (2) options to extend the Lease Term for a period of five (5) years each (the “First Option Term” and the “Second Option Term,” respectively), which options shall be exercisable by notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided below.

4.3.1 Calculation of Excess. If for any Expense Year ending or commencing within the Lease Term, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for such Expense Year exceeds Tenant’s Share of the Operating Expenses attributable to the Base Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.3.2, below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to the excess (the “Excess”).

To the extent operating or tax costs are attributable and allocable to two or more Cost Pools, such Operating Expense will be prorated on a square footage basis amongst such Cost Pools, and therefore, only operating or tax costs attributable to the Two Rincon Office Portion shall be part of Operating Expenses or Tax Expenses. To the extent operating or tax costs are common to all Cost Pools, such Operating Expense will be allocated among the Cost Pools in accordance with the following percentages: (a) Apartment Portion – 30.52%, (b) Two Rincon Office Portion – 27.78%, (c) Two Rincon Retail Portion – 3.05%, (d) One Rincon Office Portion – 32.54%, and (e) One Rincon Retail Portion – 6.11%.

Tenant further covenants and agrees that it shall not use, or suffer or permit any person or persons to use, the Premises or any part thereof for any use or purpose contrary to the provisions of Exhibit D, attached hereto (the “Rules and Regulations”). Tenant shall not at any time use or occupy knowingly or allow any person to use or occupy the Premises or the Building or do or knowingly permit anything to be done or kept in the Premises or the Building or perform any other action in any manner which: (i) violates any agreement relating to the Building or any certificate of occupancy in force for the Premises, or the Building; (ii) causes or is likely to cause damage to the Building, the Premises or any equipment, facilities or other systems therein; or (iii) interferes with the transmission or reception of microwave, television, radio or other communications signals by antennae located on the roof of the Building or elsewhere in the Building.

Landlord acknowledges, however, that Tenant will maintain products in the Premises which are incidental to the operation of its offices, such as photocopy supplies, secretarial supplies and limited janitorial supplies, which products contain chemicals which are categorized as Hazardous Materials. Landlord agrees that the use of such products in the Premises in compliance with all applicable laws and in the manner in which such products are designed to be used shall not be a violation by Tenant of this Section 5.2.

ARTICLE 6

SERVICES AND UTILITIES

6.1 Standard Tenant Services. Landlord shall provide the following services on all days during the Lease Term unless otherwise stated below.

6.1.1 Subject to all governmental rules, regulations and guidelines applicable thereto, Landlord shall provide heating, ventilating and air conditioning (“HVAC”) from Monday through Friday, during the period from 6:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and on Saturday during the period from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p,m., except for the date of observation of New Year’s Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and any other nationally enacted and observed holiday (collectively, the “Holidays”). Landlord represents that the HVAC equipment in the Building (the “Building HVAC System”) is designed to perform in accordance with the HVAC specifications attached to this Lease as Exhibit H (the “HVAC Specifications”). Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Building HVAC System to perform in accordance with the HVAC Specifications at all times that HVAC is required to be provided under this Lease, provided that Tenant uses the Building engineer to review Tenant’s HVAC design and such engineer reasonably approves Tenant’s HVAC design. Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole expense, to install, maintain and replace a private HVAC system or systems (the “Tenant HVAC System”) separate from the Building HVAC System, in Tenant’s computer rooms, user rooms and other areas contained wholly within the Premises, provided that such Tenant HVAC System does not materially interfere with the operation, maintenance, or replacement of the Building HVAC System.

6.1.2 Landlord shall at all times provide electricity to the Premises (including adequate electrical wiring and facilities for connection to Tenant’s lighting fixtures and other equipment) for lighting and power suitable for the use of the Premises up to ten (10) watts per rentable square foot demand load on a continuous annualized basis (the “Available Electricity”). Such electrical usage, to the extent the same exceeds seven (7) watts per rentable square foot of the Premises connected load on a continuous, annualized basis shall be known as “Excess Consumption.” The amount of Excess Consumption used within the Premises must be verifiable by meters or submeters, purchased by Tenant at its expense. Landlord shall charge Tenant for its Excess Consumption at Landlord’s actual average cost per kilowatt-hour therefor. Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, the .cost of its Excess Consumption within thirty (30) days of billing. The cost of the Excess Consumption shall not be charged to Operating Expenses. Landlord shall bear the cost of making the Available Electricity available at the bus riser on each floor of the Premises. Tenant shall bear the cost of horizontally distributing the Available Electricity to the Premises, including costs related to transformers and disconnect switches necessitated by Tenant’s Excess Consumption.

6.1.3 Landlord shall provide city water from the regular Building outlets for drinking, lavatory and toilet purposes and shall supply chilled water, at cost to Tenant with no markup, for Tenant’s usage in connection with its supplemental HVAC units.

6.1.4 Landlord shall provide janitorial services Monday through Friday except the date of observation of the Holidays, in and about the Premises in accordance with the cleaning specifications attached hereto’ as Exhibit I (the “Cleaning Specifications”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant reserves the right to provide, at its own cost and expense, its own janitorial service to any part of the Premises designated in writing to Landlord as a high-security area, as determined by Tenant (“Security Area”), provided that the janitorial service retained by Tenant shall conduct its activities in and around the Premises in a harmonious relationship with all other subcontractors, laborers, materialmen and suppliers at the Premises, Building and Project, and, if necessary, Tenant shall employ union labor to achieve such harmonious relations. In such case, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses (as it applies to janitorial services) shall be adjusted to reflect that the Security Area portion of the Premises (reflected on a per-square-foot basis) is not to be allocated the janitorial expense portion of Operating Expenses.

6.1.4.1 Window Washing Equipment. Landlord shall not store or operate window washing equipment on the balconies of the Building or along the ledges surrounding the floors of the Building containing the Premises in such a manner so as to interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises. Landlord agrees that during all times that such equipment is not in use, such equipment shall be concealed from view from any and all employees, invitees and guests of Tenant from any portion of the Premises. Landlord agrees that no window washing personnel shall enter the Premises in order to access the exterior of the Building. Otherwise, Landlord agrees that the operation of such window washing equipment shall be conducted in a manner (and during times) consistent with the practices of the Comparable Buildings, provided that the exterior windows of the Building shall be washed at least two (2) time per Lease Year.

6.1.5 Except as otherwise provided in the “Passenger Elevator Specifications,” as that term is defined below, Landlord shall provide nonexclusive automatic passenger elevator service. All passenger elevators serving the Premises shall be operational during normal business hours (subject to normal servicing) and at least one (1) (or two (2) upon Tenant’s request) passenger elevators in each elevator bank shall be operational at all other times. The passenger elevator service shall be provided in accordance with the passenger elevator specifications attached hereto as Exhibit J (the “Passenger Elevator Specifications”).

6.1.6 Landlord shall provide nonexclusive freight elevator service during the normal business hours, subject to reasonable and nondiscriminatory scheduling by Landlord. Tenant shall also be entitled to non-exclusive use of the freight elevator service at all times other than normal business hours, subject to reasonable and nondiscriminatory scheduling by Landlord, and Tenant shall be charged for such non-normal business hours usage at a rate equal to Landlord’s actual cost of providing such service, which rate shall include a labor charge but shall reflect the additional depreciation of the freight elevator as a result of such use, provided that such rate shall not provide Landlord with any profit from Tenant’s use of the freight elevator during non-normal business hours. Charges for such service shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder and shall be billed on a monthly basis. Landlord shall establish adequate security measures to restrict access to the freight elevators by unauthorized personnel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall provide Tenant, at Landlord’s sole expense, with priority scheduling by Landlord for freight elevator service during the construction of the tenant improvements in any First Offer Space, Expansion Space, or Hold Space and Tenant’s move-in to such space.

6.1.7 Landlord shall provide, twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, throughout the Lease Term, including the periods of occupancy by Tenant prior to the Lease Commencement Date, security for the Building, including the Building and the On-site Parking Area, including all pedestrian and vehicular entries thereto in a manner consistent with the Comparable Buildings with respect to, among other things, the amount of personnel, time shifts worked by such personnel, the security systems and equipment utilized by such personnel and the Building, and the security procedures used by such personnel (“Landlord’s Security”). Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord arising from the provision of Landlord’s Security, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord,

 

20


its agents or employees or contractors. Landlord shall maintain Landlord’s Security in a first-class, state-of-the-art manner consistent with the security systems, equipment, personnel and procedures maintained at the Comparable Buildings. Landlord’s Security shall provide Tenant, upon Tenant’s request and subject to availability, with an escort to the vehicles of Tenant’s employees located in the Parking Facilities through the use of Landlord’s Security personnel. Tenant may, at its own expense, install its own security system (“Tenant’s Security”) in the Premises and common stairwells of the Building; provided, however, that Tenant shall coordinate the installation and operation of Tenant’s Security with Landlord to assure that Tenant’s Security is compatible with Landlord’s Security. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the monitoring and operation of Tenant’s Security system. Tenant shall have the right to refuse admission of persons to the Premises, except for Landlord’s representatives in the event of an emergency or pursuant to Landlord’s entry right set forth in this Lease.

6.1.8 Landlord shall at all times provide capacity in the existing Building telephone riser conduit and telephone riser closets for Tenant’s telephone and telecommunications cabling as set forth in Exhibit Q attached hereto. Tenant shall be granted access to the Building telephone closets in the Building, and Landlord shall provide Tenant a key to access such rooms, which rooms shall otherwise be kept locked at all times. Landlord shall notify Tenant, except in case of emergency, prior to any work requiring access to any Building telephone closets on the floors of the Building containing the Premises and shall ensure that such work is completed under the direct supervision of Landlord, or, at Tenant’s option, Landlord and Tenant.

6.1.9 Landlord shall, as part of Operating Expenses, (i) supply and install Building standard light bulbs for the Premises, and (ii) install non-Building standard light bulbs in the Premises (if the same are provided to Landlord by Tenant).

6.2 Overstandard Tenant Use. Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, use heat-generating machines or equipment or lighting which (i) causes Tenant to use Excess Consumption if such Excess Consumption does affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air conditioning system or (ii) increases the water normally furnished for the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1 of this Lease. If such consent is given, Landlord shall have the right to install supplementary air conditioning units or other facilities in the Premises, including supplementary or additional metering devices, and the cost thereof, including the cost of installation, operation and maintenance, increased wear and tear on existing equipment, and other similar charges, including the removal thereof upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of invoice. If Tenant uses water in excess of that supplied by Landlord pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon billing, the Actual Cost of such excess consumption, and the Actual Cost of the installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment which is installed in order to supply such excess consumption. If Tenant desires to use heat, ventilation or air conditioning during hours other than those for which Landlord is obligated to supply such utilities pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1 of this Lease (“After Hours HVAC”), Tenant shall give Landlord notice by 3:00 p.m. on weekdays for same day usage and 5:00 p.m. on Fridays for weekend usage of Tenant’s desired use and Landlord shall supply such utilities to Tenant at Landlord’s Actual Cost. Amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord for such use of additional utilities shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder and shall be billed on a monthly basis.

6.3 Interruption of Use. Tenant agrees that, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, including Section 6.3.1, below, Landlord shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service, or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof, when such failure or delay or diminution is occasioned, in whole or in part, by repairs, replacements, or improvements, by any strike, lockout or other labor trouble, by inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Building after reasonable effort to do so, by any accident or casualty whatsoever, by act or default of Tenant or other parties, or by any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control; and such failures or delays or diminution shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease. Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for interference with, Tenant’s business, including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to a failure to furnish any of the services or utilities as set forth in this Article 6.

 

21


6.3.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Tenant is prevented from using the Premises or any portion thereof (the “Affected Area”) to conduct its normal business operations and Tenant cannot, in fact, use the Affected Area for a period of three (3) consecutive business days or more, (i) due to any service (including but not limited to passenger elevator service, janitorial service, HVAC, (excluding the portion of such designed and constructed by Tenant) electricity or water) (collectively, the “Essential Services”) not being provided to the Affected Area as required by the terms of this Lease, (ii) because of the presence, in a form or concentration in violation of applicable law then in effect, of Hazardous Materials regarded as unhealthful under applicable regulations then in effect in or about the Premises (which Hazardous Materials were not brought onto the Premises by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, or licensees), or (iii) due to Force Majeure (other than as a result of fire or other casualty, which is separately addressed in Article 11 of this Lease), the following shall apply (any such set of circumstances as set forth in items (i) through (iii), above, to be known as an “Abatement Event”). Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord notice (the “Cure Notice”) of such condition and if Landlord fails to cure such condition within two (2) business days after delivery to it of the Cure Notice, then Rent applicable to the Affected Area (and to the extent parking passes rented by Tenant pursuant to this Lease correspond to the Affected Area and are not used by Tenant, then fees for such applicable parking passes) shall be abated from the date which occurred three (3) fun business days prior to delivery to Landlord of the Cure Notice until the date when such failure is cured; provided, however, that if Tenant has previously paid Rent, including parking fees to Landlord for a period of time subsequent to the commencement of Tenant’s right to abate Rent hereunder, then Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days following the date of such abatement, credit to Tenant the amount of such excess payments against the sums next due under this Lease; provided, however, that if Landlord has not cured such Abatement Event within twelve (12) months after receipt of the Cure Notice (or, in the event that the Premises or the Building are rendered inaccessible to Tenant by a casualty or act of Landlord, twelve (12) months following the date of Landlord’s actual knowledge of the occurrence of the Abatement Event) (which applicable twelve (12) month period shall not be extended in excess of six (6) months as a result of any event of Force Majeure), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease during the first five (5) business days of each calendar month following the end of such twelve (12) month period until such time as Landlord has cured the Abatement Event, which right may be exercised only by delivery of notice to Landlord (the “Abatement Event Termination Notice”) during such five (5) business-day period, and shall be effective as of a date set forth in the Abatement Event Termination Notice (the “Abatement Event Termination Date”), which Abatement Event Termination Date shall not be earlier than the end of the month. Tenant may at any time prior to any Abatement Event Termination Date void any previously delivered Abatement Event Termination Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant delivers a Abatement Event Termination Notice to Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right to suspend the occurrence of the Abatement Event Termination Date for a period ending thirty (30) days after the Abatement Event Termination Date set forth in the Abatement Event Termination Notice by delivering to Tenant, within five (5) business days of Landlord’s receipt of the Abatement Event Termination Notice, a certificate of Landlord’s contractor responsible for the repair of the Abatement Event certifying that it is such contractor’s good faith judgment that the repairs shall be substantially completed within thirty (30) days after the Abatement Event Termination Date. If repairs shall be substantially completed prior to the expiration of such thirty-day period, then the Abatement Event Termination Notice shall be of no force or effect, but if the repairs shall not be substantially completed within such thirty-day period, then this Lease shall terminate upon the expiration of such thirty-day period. Tenant shall have no rights at law or in equity to terminate this Lease, except as expressly set forth in this Lease, including this Section 6.3.1.

6.3.2 If any governmental entity promulgates or revises any statute, ordinance, building code, fire code or other code or imposes mandatory controls on Landlord or the Real Property or any part thereof, relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, gas, light or electricity or the reduction of automobile or other emissions or the provision of any other utility or service provided with respect to this Lease or if Landlord is required to make alterations to the Building or any other part of the Real Property in order to comply with such mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines, then Landlord shall comply with such mandatory controls or make such alterations to the Building or any other part of the Real Property related thereto without creating any liability of Landlord to Tenant under this Lease, provided that the Premises are not thereby rendered untenantable. Such compliance and the making of such permitted alterations shall, except as provided in Section 6.3.1, not entitle Tenant to any damages, relieve

 

22


Tenant of the obligation to pay the fun Rent reserved hereunder or constitute or be construed as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant.

6.4 Additional Services. Landlord shall also have the non-exclusive right, but not the obligation, to provide any additional services which may be required by Tenant, including, without limitation, locksmithing, lamp replacement, additional janitorial service, and additional repairs and maintenance, provided that Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon billing, Landlord’s Actual Costs of such additional services.

6.5 Actual Cost. When Tenant is required to pay Landlord for any service or utility, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s “Actual Cost.” “Actual Cost” shall be the actual costs paid or incurred by Landlord (including reasonable administrative costs to cover actual labor costs, which are not part of Operating Expenses), unless such actual costs paid or incurred cannot be readily ascertained, in which event “Actual Cost” shall be the amount reasonably estimated by Landlord. Upon written request by Tenant from time to time, Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days thereafter, disclose to Tenant in writing the basis for any such estimate. In the event that such disclosure demonstrates that Landlord’s estimate of its Actual Cost was unreasonably calculated, then Actual Cost shall be appropriately adjusted. In the case of any increase resulting from such adjustment, Tenant shall pay Landlord the difference within ten (10) days of Landlord’s demand therefor. In the case of a decrease, Landlord shall credit to Tenant the difference against the next due amount of Operating Expenses. In the event that more than one tenant orders any extra service or utility, if any cost item is applicable to more than one tenant, such cost shall be apportioned among such tenants in accordance with the ratios of the square footages of their respective premises. Such Actual Cost, to the extent reimbursed to Landlord by Tenant and/or other tenants, shall be netted out of Operating Expenses to the extent previously charged to Operating Expenses or to the extent that the work was performed by individuals whose salaries or charge for services are included in Operating Expenses.

6.6 No Preferential Treatment to Other Tenants. Landlord shall not offer any other tenants of the Building preferential economic treatment with respect to After-Hours HVAC or other non-standard services or utilities provided to Tenant pursuant to this Lease, including this Article 6.

7.1.1 General. Landlord shall, as part of Operating Expenses to the extent permitted under Article 4 of this Lease, operate, improve, lease, manage and maintain the Building, Base Building, Common Areas, and the On-site Parking Area in accordance with all governmental laws, rules and regulations in a manner consistent with Class “A” buildings located in the vicinity of the Building.

7.1.2 Landlord Repair. Landlord shall keep and maintain the Common Area, the Building’s exterior walls, glass, roof and foundation, the Base Building, the “Building Systems,” as that term is defined in Section 7.2.3, below, located outside the Premises, and the Building Systems that are located in the Premises in proper working order, condition and repair, except to the extent such repairs are caused by the negligence or wilful misconduct of Tenant, or its invitees, employees, agents or contractors and such repairs are not covered by insurance (deductibles are not deemed to be covered by insurance) required to be carried by Landlord under this Lease.

7.1.3 Compliance with Law by Landlord and Tenant. Landlord shall keep and maintain the Building, Base Building, the Building Systems located outside the Premises and the Building Systems located in the Premises, in compliance with any law, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule, regulation or requirement now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated, including any standard or regulation now or hereafter imposed on Landlord by a state, federal or local governmental body charged with the establishment, regulation and enforcement of occupational health or safety standards for employers, employees, landlords or tenants, that relates to Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises or the operation of the Building (collectively, “Legal Requirements”); provided, however, that Tenant hereby

 

23


covenants and agrees that if such compliance is required in the Premises or the Building, and (i) such compliance relates to the Tenant Improvements or Alterations, or (ii) such compliance is required as a result of Tenant’s non-general office use of the Premises, Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of causing, and Tenant shall cause, the Tenant Improvements, the Alterations, the Base Building or the Building Systems and Equipment located outside the Premises and on the floor(s) on which the Premises are located (but then only to the extent that the cost of such compliance is not included in Operating Expenses), as the case may be, to comply with such requirements.

7.2 Tenant Maintenance and Repair.

7.2.1 If Tenant provides notice (the “Repair Notice”) to Landlord of an event or circumstance (i) which constitutes a failure by Landlord in the performance of its obligations pursuant to Section 6.1, above, except with respect to elevators and window washing equipment; or (ii) which constitutes a failure by Landlord in the performance of its obligations under Article 7 of this Lease, and the failure to fulfill such obligation will (a) materially interfere with Tenant’s access to the Project, Building or Premises, (b) materially interfere with the provision by Landlord of services and utilities to the Premises as required by Section 6.1 of this Lease, (c) materially interfere with Tenant’s business operation in the Premises, or (d) cause Tenant not to have the legal right to occupy the Premises; or (iii) which constitutes a failure by Landlord in the performance of its obligations under this Lease which relates to an “Emergency,” as that term is defined in Section 7.2.2, below (a “Required Action”), and Landlord fails to provide the Required Action within the time period required by this Lease, or a reasonable period of time, if no specific time period is specified in this Lease, after the receipt of the Repair Notice (the “Notice Date”), or, in any event, does not commence the Required Action within ten (10) days after the Notice Date and complete the Required Action within thirty (30) days after the Notice Date (provided that if the nature of the Required Action is such that the same cannot reasonably be completed within a thirty (30) day period, Landlord’s time period for completion shall not be deemed to have expired if Landlord diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and complete the Required Action, as soon as possible), then Tenant may proceed to take the Required Action, pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and shall deliver a second notice to Landlord specifying that Tenant is taking the Required Action (the “Second Notice”).

7.2.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there exists an emergency (an “Emergency”) such that the Premises or a portion thereof are rendered in such a state so as to create an imminent threat to health or human safety and if Tenant gives the Building’s management office notice (the “Emergency Notice”) of Tenant’s intention to take action with respect thereto (the “Necessary Action”) and the Necessary Action is also a Required Action, Tenant may take the Necessary Action if Landlord does not commence the Necessary Action within one (1) business day after the Emergency Notice (the “Emergency Cure Period”) and thereafter use its best efforts and due diligence to complete the Necessary Action as soon as possible.

7.2.3 If any Necessary Action will affect the systems and equipment located within the Building (the “Building Systems”), the structural integrity of the Building, or the exterior appearance of the Building, Tenant shall use only those contractors used by Landlord in the Building for work on the Building Systems, or its structure, and Landlord shall provide Tenant (when available and upon Tenant’s request) with notice identifying such contractors and any changes to the list of such contractors, unless such contractors are unwilling or unable to perform such work or the cost of such work is not competitive, in which event Tenant may utilize the services of any other qualified contractors which normally and regularly performs similar work in the Comparable Buildings except for any contractors who Landlord specifically notifies Tenant in writing within five (5) business days of Landlord’s receipt of a Repair Notice or within one (1) business day of Landlord’s receipt of an Emergency Notice that Tenant may not use for such work (which notice shall specify the commercially reasonable reasons for Landlord’s not allowing Tenant to use such contractor.)

7.2.4 If any Required Action or Necessary Action is taken by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.2, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for its reasonable, actual and documented costs and expenses in taking the Required Action or Necessary Action within thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of an invoice from Tenant which sets forth a reasonably particularized breakdown of its costs and expenses in connection with taking the Required

 

24


Action or Necessary Action on behalf of Landlord (the “Repair Invoice”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord delivers to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Repair Invoice, a written objection to the payment of such invoice, setting forth with reasonable particularity Landlord’s reason for its claim that the Required Action or Necessary Action did not have to be taken by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease or that Tenant breached the terms of this Section 7.2, or that the charges are excessive (in which case Landlord shall pay the amount it contends would not have been excessive), then the dispute shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the terms of Article 24 of this Lease for resolution. In the event Landlord does not timely object as set forth above, and Landlord does not reimburse Tenant for the Repair Invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt, then Tenant may deduct from the next Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease, the amount set forth in the Repair Invoice plus interest at the Interest Rate.

7.3 Tenant Repair. Except as set forth in Section 7.1 as Landlord’s obligations, and in addition to the obligations of Tenant set forth in Section 7.1, above, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, keep all other portions of the Premises, including all Tenant Improvements, all telephone and telecommunications cabling systems utilized by Tenant (“Telecommunication Systems”), fixtures and furnishings therein, in good order, repair and condition at all times during the Lease Term and Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises from any cause. In addition, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense but under the supervision and subject to the prior approval of Landlord, and within any reasonable period of time specified by Landlord, promptly and adequately repair all damage to the Premises for which it is responsible; provided however, that, at Landlord’s option, if Tenant fails to make such repairs, Landlord may, but need not, upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant, make such repairs and replacements, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, Landlord’s Actual Cost thereof plus interest at the Interest Rate within thirty (30) days after being billed for same. Tenant hereby waives and releases any right it may have to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code or under any similar law, statute, ordinance or common law now or hereafter in effect.

ARTICLE 8

ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS

8.1 Landlord’s Consent to Alterations. Except for the “Tenant Improvements,” as that term is defined in Section 2.1 of the Tenant Work Letter, which shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter, Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord and shall be approved or denied by notice received by Tenant within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s receipt of request for consent and shall be deemed disapproved, if such notice of consent or denial is not received by Tenant within such ten (10) business day period; provided, however, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Alteration only where such Alteration alters the Building’s exterior appearance, or has a material adverse effect on the Building Systems and equipment or the Building structure (collectively, “Adverse Effects”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may (i) make Alterations to the Premises which do not cause Adverse Effects without Landlord’s consent, provided that Tenant shall give Landlord at least five (5) business days prior notice of the same, or (ii) replace the floor and wall coverings and the furniture, fixtures and equipment in the Premises without prior notice to Landlord so long as such Alterations do not cause Adverse Effects. The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8.

8.2 Plans/Contractors. Prior to commencing any Alterations which require Landlord’s consent under this Article 8, Tenant must submit to Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable approval detailed plans and specifications for such work. Landlord’s approval or disapproval shall be delivered to Tenant within ten (10) business days following Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of such plans and specifications; and if Landlord disapproves such plans and specifications, Landlord shall state the reasons for its disapproval. Any material changes in, deviations from, modifications of, or amendments to any plans and specifications approved by Landlord shall also require Landlord’s prior approval Landlord’s review and approval of any plans and specifications (and any material modifications thereto) shall not create any

 

25


responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with applicable Laws. Prior to commencing any Alterations which require Landlord’s consent, Tenant must obtain Landlord’s reasonable approval of Tenant’s proposed general contractor, if any, and any mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection trade contractors; and Tenant specifically acknowledges that it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold approval of any proposed contractor on the grounds that Landlord reasonably believes that the performance of work in the Building by such contractor or any of its subcontractors could invalidate any warranty or guaranty covering any Building System or component thereof or could result in labor disputes with Landlord’s own contractors or employees of Landlord or Landlord’s contractors.

8.3 Manner of Construction. Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent to all Alterations or repairs of the Premises or about the Premises, such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the requirement that Tenant perform any work which in Landlord’s judgment is likely to disturb other tenants of the Building only during non-business hours. Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in conformance with any and all applicable rules and regulations of any federal, state, county or municipal code or ordinance and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the City of San Francisco, in conformance with Landlord’s reasonable and non-discriminatory construction rules and regulations. All work with respect to any Alterations must be done in a good and workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to completion to the end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit except during the period of work. In performing the work of any such Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner as not to obstruct access to the Building or the common areas for any other tenant of the Building. Upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant agrees to cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the County of San Francisco in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, and Tenant shall deliver to the Building management office a reproducible copy of the “as built” drawings of the Alterations; provided, however, that if Tenant does not cause a timely Notice of Completion to be recorded, such failure shall not constitute a default under this Lease but Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any loss, cost, damage, claim or expense incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant’s failure to record the Notice of Completion.

8.4 Payment for Improvements. Upon completion of such work not ordered from Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, if payment is made directly to contractors, evidence of payment, contractors’ affidavits and fun and final waivers of all liens for labor, services or materials.

8.5 Construction Insurance. In the event that Tenant makes any Alterations, Tenant agrees to carry “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount reasonably approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof.

8.6 Landlord’s Property. All Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises or the Real Property, and all signs installed in, on or about the Premises or the Real Property, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Ten ant and shall be and become the property of Landlord, except that Tenant may remove (i) any trade fixtures and/or equipment and (ii) the “Wall Partition System” within the Premises (collectively, “Tenant’s Property”) and Tenant may also remove any “Personal Property,” as that term is defined in Section 15.1, provided, in each instance, Tenant repairs any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal. Tenant shall have no obligation to remove any Alteration upon the expiration or early termination of the Lease Term, but Tenant shall broom clean the Premises concurrently with Tenant’s vacation thereof. If Tenant fails to repair any damage caused by the removal of any of Tenant’s Property or Personal Property, Landlord may do so and may charge the cost thereof to Tenant. Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to finance the purchase of and grant security interests in and otherwise encumber Tenant’s Personal Property, and Landlord shall, promptly upon request, execute a waiver and consent form required by any lender of Tenant granting such lender the right, upon reasonable notice, to enter the Premises to take possession of and remove Tenant’s Personal Property notwithstanding any alleged breach by Tenant of the terms of this Lease. Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien in any manner relating to the installation, placement, removal or financing of any

 

26


such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises, except damages caused by the negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Lease by Landlord, its employees, agents, and contractors, or covered by Landlord’s insurance carried as required under this Lease or if Landlord fails to carry such coverage, which would have been covered by Landlord’s insurance required to be carried under this Lease.

COVENANT AGAINST LIENS

Tenant has no authority or power to cause or permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, whether created by act of Tenant, operation of law or otherwise, to attach to or be placed upon the Real Property, Building or Premises, and any and all liens and encumbrances created by Tenant shall attach to Tenant’s interest only. Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notice which it deems necessary for protection from such liens. Tenant covenants and agrees not to suffer or permit any lien of mechanics or materialmen or others to be placed against the Real Property, the Building or the Premises with respect to work or services claimed to have been performed for or materials claimed to have been furnished to Tenant or the Premises, and, in case of any such lien attaching or notice of any lien, Tenant covenants and agrees to cause it to be released and removed of record within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of notice from Landlord regarding the existence of such lien. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, in the event that such lien is not released and removed on or before the date occurring thirty (30) days after notice of such lien is delivered by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord, at its sole option, upon an additional notice to Tenant, may take all reasonable action necessary to release and remove such lien, without any duty to investigate the validity thereof, and all reasonable sums, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Landlord in connection with such lien shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease and shall be due and payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor.

The terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability occurring prior to such expiration or termination.

10.2 Landlord’s Insurance. From and after the date hereof and throughout the Lease Term, Landlord shall maintain in full force and effect the policies of insurance set forth below in Sections 10.2.1 through 10.2.3.

10.2.1 Landlord’s Fire and Casualty Insurance. Property damage insurance covering the Building, the On-Site Parking Area, and the Tenant Improvements and the Alterations (but excluding the value of the Tenant Improvements to the extent such value exceeds the value of the Building standard improvements and excluding Tenant’s “Personal Property,” as that term is defined in Section 15.1, below), and all other improvements in and about the Common Areas in which Landlord may have an insurable interest, providing protection against any peril included within the classification “All Risk” inclusive of standard fire and extended coverage insurance, including endorsements against vandalism, malicious mischief and’ other perils, but excluding, except as set forth below in Section 10.2.3, all in amounts not less than one hundred percent (100%) of their fun replacement cost. Landlord’s policy shall contain at least twelve (12) months of “rental income loss” coverage payable in instances in which Tenant is entitled to Rent abatement hereunder, and shall include (i) an “extended coverage” endorsement, (ii) a “building laws” and/or “law and ordinance” coverage endorsement (which endorsement may, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2.1, contain a commercially reasonable sublimit) that covers “costs of demolition,” “increased costs of construction” due to changes in building codes and “contingent liability” with respect to undamaged portions of the Building, and (iii) an “earthquake sprinkler leakage” endorsement, with each such endorsement to be of a kind required by Landlord to assist Landlord in funding its obligations under this Lease to repair and restore the Building, the On-Site Parking Area, the Tenant Improvements, the Alterations and the Common Areas. Such policy shall also contain a “stipulated value” endorsement deleting any co-insurance provisions. In addition, Landlord shall maintain “boiler machinery” coverage (and a joint loss agreement if the boiler machinery coverage is issued by a different insurance company than the basic property insurance).

28

10.2.3 Earthquake Coverage. Landlord hereby represents that the holder of the first deed of trust on the Building, Citicorp Real Estate, Inc. (“CRE”) is requiring Landlord to obtain a policy of insurance covering the risk of earthquake damage to the Building (“CRE’s Requirement”). Accordingly, Landlord will, to the extent available, obtain and maintain in full force and effect a policy of insurance covering earthquake damage to the Building (the “Earthquake Policy”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 10.2.3, Tenant shall only be responsible to pay Tenant’s Earthquake Insurance Contribution if (i) CRE or any subsequent holder of a first deed of trust on the Building (the “Subsequent Lender”) requires Landlord to carry the Earthquake Policy, and Tenant receives written evidence from CRE or any Subsequent Lender regarding CRE’s Requirement or the requirement of a Subsequent Lender, respectively, and (ii) Tenant receives a copy of the Earthquake Policy and the invoice for the premium for the Earthquake Policy.

10.2.4 Other Terms. Upon inquiry by Tenant, from time to time, Landlord shall inform Tenant of such coverage carried by Landlord. The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Landlord under the Lease shall limit the liability of Landlord under this Lease with respect to claims covered by such insurance.

With respect to the insurance described in Sections 10.2.2 and 10.2.3, Tenant shall be named as an additional insured as its interests may appear. Tenant shall neither use the Premises nor permit the Premises to be used or acts to be done therein which will (a) increase the premium of any insurance described in this Section 10.2; (b) cause a cancellation of or be in conflict with any such insurance policies; or (c) result in a refusal by insurance companies of good standing to insure the Building in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, provided, however, that Tenant shall at all times be permitted to use the Premises for the uses permitted by Article 5 of this Lease without being required to pay additional insurance premiums. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, comply with all insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises. If Tenant’s conduct or use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies and such conduct or use is not permitted by the terms of this Lease, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such Increase.

10.3 Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall maintain Comprehensive General Liability Insurance covering the insured against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage arising out of Tenant’s operations, assumed liabilities or use of the Premises, including a Broad Form Comprehensive General Liability endorsement covering the insuring provisions of this Lease and the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreements set forth in Section 10.1 of this Lease, for limits of liability not less than:

$5,000,000 annual aggregate

0% Insured’s participation

  

10.4 Form of Policies. The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease. Such insurance

 

29


shall (i) name Landlord, Landlord’s property manager, Landlord’s lender, and the ground lessor as an additional insured; (ii) specifically cover the liability assumed by Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s obligations under Section 10.1 of this Lease; (iii) be issued by an insurance company having a rating of not less than A-X in Best’s Insurance Guide or which is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord and licensed to do business in the State of California; (iv) be primary insurance as to all claims thereunder arising within the Premises and provide that any insurance carried by Landlord with respect to claims arising within the Premises is excess and is non-contributing with any insurance requirement of Tenant; (v) provide that said insurance shall not be canceled or coverage changed unless thirty (30) days’ prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord whose names and addresses have been provided by Landlord together with a specific reference to this requirement; and (vi) contain a cross-liability endorsement or severability of interest clause reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall deliver said policy or policies or certificates thereof to Landlord on or before the Lease Commencement Date and at least thirty (30) days before the expiration dates thereof.

10.5 Self-Insurance. The Tenant named in the Summary shall be entitled to self-insure its insurance requirements set forth in Sections 10.3 and 8.5 of this Lease, and Section 6.12 of the Tenant Work Letter. Any self-insurance shall be deemed to contain all of the terms and conditions applicable to such insurance as requited in this Article 10, including, without limitation, a full waiver of subrogation. If Tenant elects to so self-insure, then with respect to any claims which may result from incidents occurring during the Lease Term, such self-insurance obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease to the same extent as the insurance required would survive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall only have the right to self-insure its insurance requirements under Section 10.3 of this Lease, if Tenant shall, concurrent with a notice to Landlord electing to self-insure, provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant has a net worth of equal to or greater than Three Hundred Million Dollars ($300,000,000.00) (the “Financial Requirement”). If Tenant at any time does not satisfy the Financial Requirement, it shall notify Landlord of the same and supply Landlord with the insurance policies required under Section 10.3 of this Lease.

10.6 Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant agree to have their respective insurance companies issuing property damage insurance waive any rights of subrogation that such companies may have against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, so long as the insurance carried by Landlord and Tenant, respectively, is not invalidated thereby. As long as such waivers of subrogation do not invalidate such insurance, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any right that either may have against the other on account of any loss or damage to their respective property to the extent such loss or damage is insurable under policies of insurance for fire and all risk coverage, theft, public liability, or other similar insurance. If either party fails to carry the amounts and types of insurance required to be carried by it pursuant to this Article 10, such failure shall be deemed to be a covenant and agreement by such party to self-insure with respect to the type and amount of insurance which such party so failed to carry, with full waiver of subrogation with respect thereto.

ARTICLE 11

DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

11.1 Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises (“Premises Damage”) resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or the Real Property shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the Real Property, the Premises, and such common areas (the “Restoration”). The Restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Real Property, the Premises, and common areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws, provided access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, of Real Property Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the Tenant Improvements and Alterations or Real Property and shall return such Tenant Improvements and Alterations or Real Property to their original condition. In connection with such repairs and replacements, Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of construction, submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating to the

 

30


Tenant Improvements and Alterations, and Tenant and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or common areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Rent during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof; provided, however, that if the Premises is damaged such that the remaining portion thereof is not sufficient to allow Tenant to conduct is business operations from such remaining portion and Tenant does not conduct its business operations therefrom, Landlord shall allow Tenant a total abatement of Rent during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and not occupied by Tenant as a result of the subject damage. All insurance proceeds from the policies as described in Sections 10.2.1 and 10.2.3 shall be assigned by Landlord and Tenant to be used in connection with the repair of damage to the Premises and Real Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 11.1, to the extent Landlord does not commence Restoration within sixty (60) days of the date of damage, Tenant shall deliver notice (the “Restoration Failure Notice”) to Landlord of Landlord’s failure to commence Restoration, and provided that Landlord has not exercised the Reimbursement Right pursuant to Section 3.4, above, Tenant may elect to pursue any remedies available to Tenant at law or in equity including, but not limited to, an action against Landlord for specific performance with respect to the Restoration, which remedy of specific performance Landlord and Tenant hereby agree shall be available to Tenant.

11.2 Tenant’s Termination Right. If the repairs cannot be completed within twelve (12) months after the date of damage (which twelve (12) month period shall not be extended in excess of six (6) months as a result of any event of “Force Majeure,” as that term is defined in Section 29.17, below), Tenant may elect, no earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of the damage and not later than the ninety (90) days after the date of such damage, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in the notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given by Tenant. Furthermore, if Landlord has advised Tenant that repairs can be completed within a twelve (12) month period, and Tenant has not terminated this Lease, and the repairs are not actually completed within such twelve (12) months’ period (which twelve (12) month period shall not be extended in excess of six (6) months as a result of any event of Force Majeure), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease during the first five (5) business days of each calendar month following the end of such period until such time as the repairs are complete, by notice to Landlord (the “Damage Termination Notice”), effective as of a date set forth in the Damage Termination Notice (the “Damage Termination Date”), which Damage Termination Date shall not be earlier than the end of each such month. Tenant may at any time prior to any Damage Termination Date void any previously delivered Damage Termination Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant delivers a Damage Termination Notice to Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right to suspend the occurrence of the Damage Termination Date for a period ending thirty (30) days after the Damage Termination Date set forth in the Damage Termination Notice by delivering to Tenant, within five (5) business days of Landlord’s receipt of the Damage Termination Notice, a certificate of Landlord’s contractor responsible for the repair of the damage certifying that it is such contractor’s good faith judgment that the repairs shall be substantially completed within thirty (30) days after the Damage Termination Date. If repairs shall be substantially completed prior to the expiration of such thirty-day period, then the Damage Termination Notice shall be of no force or effect, but if the repairs shall not be substantially completed within such thirty-day period, then this Lease shall terminate upon the expiration of such thirty-day period. At any time, from time to time, after the date occurring sixty (60) days after the date of the damage, Tenant may request that Landlord inform Tenant of Landlord’s reasonable opinion of the date of completion of the repairs and Landlord shall respond to such request within five (5) business days. If Tenant terminates this Lease pursuant to the terms of this Section 11.2, Tenant shall receive, and Landlord shall assign to Tenant, insurance proceeds equal to the Unamortized Value as of the Tenant Termination Date of the Tenant Costs (as calculated pursuant to Section 3.4.2 above), provided that Landlord has not exercised the Reimbursement Right pursuant to Section 3.4, above.

11.3 Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other

 

31


portion of the Real Property, and any statute or regulation of the State of California, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Real Property.

11.4 Damage Near End of Term. In the event that the Premises or the Building is destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent during the last twenty-four (24) months of the Lease Term, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 11, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Landlord of the exercise of such option within sixty (60) days after such damage or destruction, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such notice, Tenant shall pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent, properly apportioned up to such date of damage, and both parties hereto shall thereafter be freed and discharged of all further obligations hereunder, except as provided for in provisions of this Lease which by their terms survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.

ARTICLE 12

NONWAIVER

No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be implied by (i) any failure of either party to insist in any instance on the strict keeping, observance or performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Lease or to exercise any election contained in this Lease or (ii) any failure of either party to enforce any remedy on account of the violation of such provision, even if such violation shall continue or be repeated subsequently. Any waiver by either party of any provision of this Lease may only be in writing, and no express waiver shall affect any provision other than the one specified in such waiver and that one only for the time and in the manner specifically stated. No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Lease Term or of Tenant’s right of possession hereunder or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.

ARTICLE 13

CONDEMNATION

13.1 Permanent Taking. If ten percent (10%) or more of the Premises or Building shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon one hundred eighty (180) days’ notice, provided such notice is given no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such taking, condemnation, reconfiguration, vacation, deed or other instrument. If so much of the Premises is taken so as to substantially interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business from the Premises, or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon one hundred eighty (180) days’ notice, provided such notice is given no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such taking. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or payment in connection therewith including the “Bonus Value” relating to the amount of the Base Rent, provided that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant’s personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination, or the date of such taking, whichever shall first occur. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent shall be proportionately abated. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of The California Code of Civil Procedure.

13.2 Temporary Taking. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 13, in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of

 

32


one hundred and eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and the Additional Rent shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the number of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for claims made by Tenant as a result of the necessity of Tenant’s moving to temporary space during the period of such temporary taking.

ARTICLE 14

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

14.1 Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment or other such foregoing transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant and its employees (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfers” and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Transferee”). If Tenant shall desire Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the “Transfer Notice”) shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than ten (10) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the “Subject Space”), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including a calculation of the “Transfer Premium”, as that term is defined in Section 14.3 below, in connection with such Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, financial statements from the proposed Transferee if necessary, under Section 14.2(iv), below, and a copy of all existing and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, and such other information as Landlord may reasonably require. Any Transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent shall, at Landlord’s option, be nun, void and of no effect. If Landlord shall grant consent, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s out-of-pocket reasonable legal fees reasonably incurred by Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord.

14.2 Landlord’s Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of a Transfer Notice as to whether Landlord consents to the proposed Transfer or withholds its consent thereto; failure of Landlord to so notify Tenant in writing within said fifteen (15) period shall be deemed to constitute Landlord’s consent to the proposed Transfer 14.2.1 The parties hereby agree that, it shall not be reasonable under this Lease for Landlord to withhold its consent for any of the following reasons without implying that any other grounds not set forth in this Section 14.2 are reasonable grounds for withholding consent:

(i) The assignment or sublease occurs when any particular proportion of the Building or Project is not leased or is at economic terms which are not acceptable to Landlord for any reason;

(ii) The terms of the proposed assignment or sublease will allow the proposed assignee to exercise an option to extend or expand held by Tenant (or will allow the proposed subtenant to occupy space leased by Tenant pursuant to any such right);

(iii) Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed assignee or subtenant, (a) occupies space in the Project at the time of the request for consent, or (b) is negotiating or has negotiate with Landlord to lease space in the Project;

(iv) The Subject Space for the proposed Transferee is less than or equal to 75,000 rentable square feet, and the proposed Transferee (if such Transferee is subleasing space, as opposed to taking an assignment of the Lease) is not a party of adequate financial worth and/or financial stability; or

 

33


(v) The proposed Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof, unless such entity (i) is of a character or reputation, is engaged in a business, or is associated with a political orientation or faction, which is not consistent with the quality of the Building, or (ii) has the legal ability to exercise the power of eminent domain or condemnation, or (iii) would significantly increase the human traffic in the Premises or Building.

It is understood and agreed that, without limiting Landlord’s right of consent as provided herein, Landlord’s withholding consent shall be deemed reasonable if the proposed Transfer or the proposed use of the Premises by the proposed Transferee shall conflict with or result in a breach of this Lease, or shall violate any exclusivity arrangements relating to retail uses that Landlord may then have with any retail tenant of the Building which exists as of the date hereof.

If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2, Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord’s consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14.

14.3 Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the amount of any “Transfer Premium,” as that term is defined in this Section 14.3, received by Tenant from such Transferee. “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in excess of the Rent (using a Base Rent figure of $24.00 per rentable square foot) and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for (i) any changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises in connection with the Transfer, and (ii) any brokerage commissions in connection with the Transfer (iii) any costs to buy-out or takeover the previous lease of a Transferee, (iv) reasonable legal fees incurred in connection with the Transfer including those fees and costs reimbursed to Landlord pursuant to the last sentence of Section 14.1, and (v) the amount of any Base Rent and Additional Rent paid by Tenant to Landlord with respect to the Subject Space during the period commencing on the later of (a) the date Tenant contracts with a reputable broker to market the Subject Space, and (b) the date Tenant vacates the Subject Space, until the date six months after the commencement of the period, and (vi) any other “out-of-pocket” monetary concessions reasonably provided in connection with the Transfer including, but not limited to, tenant improvement or decorating allowances (collectively, the “Subleasing Costs”). “Transfer Premium” shall also include, but not be limited to, key money and bonus money paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer. Tenant covenants that any allocation of payments or other consideration payable or deliverable to Tenant in connection with any subletting of the Premises or assignment of this Lease shall be made in good faith and not with a purpose to avoid Tenant’s obligation to pay fifty percent (50%) of the Transfer Premium to Landlord.

14.4 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iv) Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord’s request a complete statement setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer, (v) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from liability under this Lease, and (vi) such Transfer shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the terms of this Lease. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof Landlord agrees, if set forth in, and required by, a written document between Tenant and a Transferee (the “Assignment Document”), (i) to amend

 

34


the notice blocks set forth on the first page of the Lease to add one (1) additional party and (ii) to deliver to the Tenant or its successor concurrently with the delivery thereof to such Transferee, copies of any notices of default delivered pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Additionally, if requested of Landlord pursuant to the Assignment Document, the Transferee shall have the right to cure any default under this Lease within the applicable cure period provided for the Tenant in this Lease. If the Assignment Document permits the Tenant to recover possession of the Premises and again become the “Tenant” under this Lease, Landlord agrees to accept Tenant as the “Tenant” under this Lease pursuant thereto.

14.5 Assumption of Obligations. Each permitted assignee shall assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease with respect to the Premises. No Transfer shall be valid and no transferee shall take possession of the Premises or any part thereof unless, within ten (10) days after the execution of the documentary evidence thereof, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a duly executed duplicate original of the Transfer instrument in a form satisfactory to Landlord that (i) provides that the transferee assumes Tenant’s obligations for the payment of rent (in the case of an assignment), and for the fun and faithful observance and performance of the covenants, terms and conditions contained herein, applicable to the Premises in the event of an assignment, and (ii) provides that an assignee will, at Landlord’s election, attorn directly to landlord in the event this Lease is terminated for any reason on the terms set forth in the instrument of transfer. The failure or refusal of a transferee to execute such an instrument of assumption shall not release or discharge the transferee from its obligations set forth above.

14.6 Non-Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, neither (i) an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant, or to a purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or to an entity resulting, by operation of law or otherwise, from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant (any such entity, an “Affiliate”), nor (ii) a transfer, by law or otherwise, in connection with the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or Affiliate, shall be deemed a Transfer under this Article 14, provided that such assignment, sublease or transfer is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease, and no such assignment, sublease or transfer shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease from liability under this Lease. Tenant shall notify Landlord of any such assignment, sublease, action, or use. “Control,” as used in this Section 14.6, shall mean the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and polices of a person or entity, or ownership of any sort, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

ARTICLE 15

SURRENDER OF PREMISES; OWNERSHIP AND

REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES

15.1 Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in a writing signed by Landlord. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises. Tenant shall remove those items of furniture, furnishings, business machines and equipment, communications equipment and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises (collectively, “Personal Property”) and Tenant shall remove Personal Property at times reasonably acceptable to Landlord and subject to the availability of freight elevators, provided that Landlord shall insure that adequate hours for the usage of the freight elevator are made reasonably available to Tenant.

15.2 Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 15 and Section 8.5, above, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in

 

35


as good order and condition as when Tenant took possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear, casualty and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted.

15.3 Removal of Tenant’s Property by Landlord. Whenever Landlord shall re-enter the Premises as provided in this Lease, any Personal Property not removed by Tenant upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or within forty-eight (48) hours after a termination by reason of Tenant’s default as provided in this Lease, shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant and may be disposed of by Landlord in accordance with Sections 1980 through 1991 of the California Civil Code and Section 1174 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or in accordance with any laws or judicial decisions which may supplement or supplant those provisions from time to time.

15.4 Landlord’s Actions on Premises. Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages or other liability in connection with Landlord’s reentering and taking possession of the Premises or removing, retaining, storing or selling the property of Tenant as herein provided.

ARTICLE 16

HOLDING OVER

If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term hereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Base Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Nothing contained in this Article 16 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord from and against all losses, costs, claims, liabilities, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees, costs, and disbursements) sustained by Landlord by reason of such holdover by Tenant (including, without limitation, claims for damages by any other person to whom Landlord may have agreed to lease an or any part of such portion of the premises effective on or after the date Tenant was obligated to surrender possession thereof), but only to the extent such holdover continues more than sixty (60) days after the expiration of the then-current Lease Term. No acceptance by Landlord of rent during any such holding over without Landlord’s consent shall reinstate, continue, or extend the Term of this Lease with respect to such portion of the Premises or shall affect any notice of termination given to Tenant prior to the payment of such money, it being agreed that after the service of such notice or the commencement of any suit by Landlord to obtain possession of any portion of the Premise, Landlord may receive and collect when due any and all payments owed by Tenant under this Lease, and otherwise exercise its rights and remedies. The making of any such payments by Tenant shall not waive such notice, or in any manner affect any pending suit or judgment obtained.

ARTICLE 17

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

Within thirty (30) days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E, attached hereto, (or such other form as may be required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Building, or any portion thereof), indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee or prospective mortgagee. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. Failure of Tenant to timely execute and deliver such estoppel certificate or other instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements made in good faith included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception. Landlord hereby agrees to provide to Tenant an estoppel certificate signed by Landlord, containing the same types of information, and within

 

36


the same period of time, as set forth above, with such changes as are reasonably necessary to reflect that the estoppel certificate is being granted and signed by Landlord to Tenant, rather than from Tenant to Landlord or a lender of Landlord.

ARTICLE 18

SUBORDINATION

This Lease is subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Real Property and to the lien of any mortgages or trust deeds, now or hereafter in force against the Real Property and the Building, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages or trust deeds, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto. In consideration of, and as a condition precedent to, Tenant’s agreement to permit its interest pursuant to this Lease to be subordinated to any particular future ground or underlying lease of the Building or the Real Property or to the lien of any first mortgage or trust deed hereafter enforced against the Building or the Real Property and to any renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a non-disturbance agreement reasonably approved by Tenant executed by the landlord under such ground lease or underlying lease or the holder of such mortgage or trust deed. Tenant hereby approves the form attached hereto as Exhibit R and any form substantially similar thereto. Except as may be indicated in the form of agreement as Exhibit R hereto, each such non-disturbance agreement provided by Landlord shall acknowledge that Tenant may offset against Rent next owing under this Lease, (i) any unpaid commission due and owing to Tenant’s Broker as set forth in Section 29.25, (ii) any abatements of Rent as allowed pursuant to Section 6.3.1 of this Lease, and (iii) any abatements of Rent as allowed pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Lease. Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage, to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure sale if so requested to do so by such purchaser, and to recognize such purchaser as the lessor under this Lease. Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases.

ARTICLE 19

DEFAULTS; REMEDIES

19.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant:

19.1.1 Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, within five (5) business days of notice that the same is due, which notice shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor law; provided, however, in the event Tenant shall fail to make timely payment of rent more than two times in any twelve (12) consecutive month period, then for the remainder of such twelve (12) consecutive month period such five-day cure period shall be reduced to a three (3) business day cure period; or

19.1.2 Any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided however, that any such notice shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor law; and provided further that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30)-day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure said default as soon as possible.

19.2 Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity,

 

37


the option to pursue anyone or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive.

19.2.1 Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:

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

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

(iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease as allowed by applicable law; and

(v) At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.

The term “rent” as used in this Section 19.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in Paragraphs 19.2.1(i) and (ii), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate. As used in Paragraph 19.2.1(iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

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

19.3 Waiver of Default. No waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other or later violation or breach of the same or any other of the terms, provisions, and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Landlord or Tenant in enforcement of one or more of the remedies available to such party upon an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default. The acceptance of any Rent hereunder by Landlord following the occurrence of any default, whether or not known to Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of any such default, except only a default in the payment of the Rent so accepted. Tenant hereby waives, for itself and all persons claiming by and under Tenant, all rights and privileges which it might have under any present or future law to redeem the Premises or to continue the Lease after being dispossessed or ejected from the Premises by Landlord after the occurrence of an Event of Default.

19.4 Efforts to Relet. For the purposes of this Article 19, Tenant’s right to possession shall not be deemed to have been terminated by efforts of Landlord to relet the Premises, by its acts of maintenance or preservation with respect to the Premises, or by appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord’s interests hereunder. The foregoing enumeration is not exhaustive, but merely illustrative of acts which may be performed by Landlord without terminating Tenant’s right to possession.

 

38


ARTICLE 20

COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT

Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent, charges for services and other payments herein reserved and on keeping, observing and performing all the other terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements hereof without interference by any persons lawfully claiming by or through Landlord. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant express or implied.

ARTICLE 21

REASONABLENESS AND GOOD FAITH

Except for determinations expressly described as being in the “absolute discretion” of the applicable party, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall unreasonably withhold or delay any consent, approval or other determination provided for hereunder, and determinations subject to absolute discretion shall not be unreasonably delayed. In the event that either Landlord or Tenant disagrees with any determination made by the other hereunder (other than a determination in the absolute discretion of the determining party) and reasonably requests the reasons for such determination, the determining party shall furnish its reasons in writing and in reasonable detail within five (5) business days following such request. Furthermore, in addition to the foregoing, whenever the Lease grants Landlord or Tenant the right to take action, exercise discretion, establish rules and regulations, make allocations or other determinations, or otherwise exercise rights or fulfill obligations, Landlord and Tenant shall act reasonably and in good faith and take no action which might result in the frustration of the reasonable expectations of a sophisticated landlord and sophisticated tenant concerning the benefits to be enjoyed under this Lease.

ARTICLE 22

STORAGE SPACE

Landlord shall reserve up to five thousand 5,000 square feet of storage space for lease by Tenant during the Lease Term (the “Storage Space”). The Storage Space shall be located in one or more private rooms selected by Landlord in the On-Site Parking Area designated on Exhibit P attached hereto. Tenant shall have the right to increase or decrease (but not in excess of the 5,000 square foot limit set forth above) the amount of Storage Space leased by Tenant on thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord. The Storage Space described above required to be provided by Landlord to Tenant shall be leased at a rental rate equal to                     (            ) per usable square foot per month during the Lease Tenn. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Storage Space in addition to the Storage Space required to be reserved by Landlord for Tenant’s use hereunder shall become available for use by tenants of the Building, Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have the right, upon written notice to Landlord, to lease such additional Storage Space on a month-to-month basis to the extent and for the duration that Landlord does not require the use of such additional Storage Space by other tenants in the Building or for another purpose. Any such additional Storage Space shall be leased at a rental rate equal to                     (            ) per usable square foot per month. The Storage Space rental amounts shall be due on a monthly basis concurrent with Tenant’s payment of the Base Rent due with respect to the Premises, and shall constitute Rent under the Lease. All Storage Space leased by Tenant shall be in a condition reasonably suitable for use as storage space. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord, by providing Tenant with the Storage Space is not assuming the responsibility to ensure the security of or provide security for the Storage Space, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord for damage to or theft of any property stored by Tenant in the Storage Space, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s agents, contractors or representatives. Landlord shall deliver the Storage Space to Tenant in its “as-is” condition, without any obligation on the part of Landlord to remodel, refurbish or otherwise improve the Storage Space, provided that the Storage Space shall have a ceiling, walls, a door and lighting. Landlord shall have the right, not more than once per calendar year, upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Tenant, to relocate the Storage Space to another area of the Building of approximately the same aggregate square footage as the Storage

 

39


Space; in the event of such relocation of the Storage Space, Landlord shall pay Tenant’s actual costs of moving materials stored in the Storage Space to the replacement Storage Space.

ARTICLE 23

SIGNS

23.1 Interior of Premises. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may install identification signage anywhere in the Premises including in the elevator lobbies of the Premises, provided that such signs must not be visible from the exterior of the Building. If other tenants occupy space on the floor on which the Premises is located, Tenant’s identifying signage shall be provided by Landlord, at Tenant’s cost, and shall comply with Landlord’s Building standard signage.

23.2 Exterior of Premises. Commencing on a date which, in Tenant’s reasonable judgment, is necessary to allow “Tenant’s Signage,” as that term is defined below, to be installed in and fully operational on the first day of the Pre-Occupancy Period, Tenant shall have an ongoing right to install (and replace) the name of Tenant and/or an Affiliate, or an entity designated by Tenant (and, at Tenant’s sole discretion, Tenant’s logo), (“Tenant’s Signage Name”),at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, on the following signage (collectively, “Tenant’s Signage”): (i) a sign in the ground floor elevator bank, and (ii)             monument signs on the exterior of the Building, all as further set forth on Exhibit G attached hereto. The installation of Tenant’s Signage shall be subject to all laws and requirements of government authorities with jurisdiction over the Building. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the preceding sentence, Tenant shall be entitled to install additional signage in or outside of the Building in the location(s) depicted on Exhibit G, provided that the location, materials and design criteria thereof shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall obtain all necessary government approvals and permits required for the installation and maintenance of Tenant’s Signage; provided that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Tenant in obtaining all necessary governmental permits and approvals for Tenant’s Signage. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall maintain Tenant’s Signage in a first class manner and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and shall pay the cost of all electricity, if any, consumed in connection with Tenant’s Signage. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall remove Tenant’s Signage from the Building and the Premises.

23.3 Transferability. The rights to the Tenant’s Signage (the “Signage Rights”), may be transferred by Tenant in their entirety to any Affiliate, or to any assignee or sublessee in connection with any assignment or sublease of Tenant’s interest in this Lease which is permitted pursuant to the provisions of Article 14 of this Lease.

23.4 Directory Board Space. Landlord shall provide Tenant, at no cost to Tenant, with space for a maximum of one (1) designated name per two thousand (2,000) rentable square feet of the Premises on the Building directory board located in the lobby of the Building. Tenant will be permitted group and alphabetical listings on such directory board for Tenant’s professionals and any other employees, and listings for the names of any approved subtenants.

23.5 Exclusivity. Tenant’s Signage Rights are exclusive to Tenant, any Affiliate and any transferee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease. Therefore, except for all existing signage and reasonable modifications to such existing signage which is pursuant to Landlord’s standard signage program and does not identify a competitor of Tenant, Landlord shall not (i) grant any signage rights to, (ii) consent to any granting of signage rights for, or (iii) permit any signage to be installed on behalf of, any tenants of the Real Property, or anyone else, anywhere on or in the Building, On-site Parking Area or the Real Property, unless such signage is on the Building directory board or consist of Building standard identification signage located on the floor that a tenant in the Building occupies. For purposes of this Section 23.5, the term “signage” shall include any logos or pictures which identify a tenant of the Real Property or anyone else.

ARTICLE 24

ARBITRATION

24.1 General Submittals to Arbitration. The submittal of all matters to arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Article 24 is the sole and exclusive method, means and procedure to resolve any and all claims, disputes or disagreements arising under this Lease, including, but not limited to any defaults by Landlord, or any defaults by Tenant, except for (i) disputes for which a different resolution determination is specifically set forth in this Lease, (ii) all claims by either party which (A) seek anything other than enforcement of rights under this Lease, or (B) are primarily founded upon matters of fraud, wilful misconduct, bad faith or any other allegations of tortious action, and seek the award of punitive or exemplary damages, and (iii) claims relating to Landlord’s exercise of any unlawful detainer rights pursuant to California law or rights or remedies used by Landlord to gain possession of the Premises or terminate Tenant’s right of possession to the Premises, which disputes shall be resolved by suit filed in the Superior Court of San Francisco County, California, the decision of which court shall be subject to appeal pursuant to applicable law. The parties hereby irrevocably waive any and all rights to the contrary and shall at all times conduct themselves in strict, full, complete and timely accordance with the terms of this Article 24 and all attempts to circumvent the terms of this Article 24 shall be absolutely null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever. As to any matter submitted to arbitration (except with respect to the payment of money) to determine whether a matter would, with the passage of time, constitute a default, such passage of time shall not commence to run until any such affirmative arbitrated determination, as long as it is simultaneously determined in such arbitration that the challenge of such matter as a potential Tenant default was made in good faith. As to any matter submitted to arbitration with respect to the payment of money, to determine whether a matter would, with the passage of time, constitute a default, such passage of time shall not commence to run in the event that the party which is obligated to make the payment does in fact make the payment to the other party. Such payment can be made “under protest, II which shall occur when such payment is accompanied by a good faith notice stating the reasons that the party has elected to make a payment under protest. Such protest will be deemed waived unless the subject matter identified in the protest is submitted to arbitration as set forth in this Article 24.

24.2 JAMS. Any dispute to be arbitrated pursuant to the provisions of this Article 24 shall be determined by binding arbitration before a retired judge of the Superior Court of the State of California (the “Arbitrator”) under the auspices of Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”). Such arbitration shall be initiated by the parties, or either of them, within ten (10) days after either party sends written notice (the “Arbitration Notice”) of a demand to arbitrate by registered or certified mail to the other party and to JAMS. The Arbitration Notice shall contain a description of the subject matter of the arbitration, the dispute with respect thereto, the amount involved, if any, and the remedy or determination sought. The parties may agree on a retired judge from the JAMS panel. If they are unable to promptly agree, JAMS will provide a list of three available judges and each party may strike one. The remaining judge (or if there are two, the one selected by JAMS) will serve as the Arbitrator. In the event that JAMS shall no longer exist or if JAMS fails or refuses to accept submission of such dispute, then the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the AAA’s commercial arbitration rules then in effect.

24.3 Arbitration Procedure.

24.3.1 Pre-Decision Actions. The Arbitrator shall schedule a pre-hearing conference to resolve procedural matters, arrange for the exchange of information, obtain stipulations, and narrow the issues. The parties will submit proposed discovery schedules to the Arbitrator at the pre-hearing conference. The scope and duration of discovery will be within the sole discretion of the Arbitrator. The Arbitrator shall have the discretion to order a pre-hearing exchange of information by the parties, including, without limitation, production of requested documents, exchange of summaries of testimony of proposed witnesses, and examination by deposition of parties and third-party witnesses. This discretion shall be exercised in favor of discovery reasonable under the circumstances.

24.3.2 The Decision. The arbitration shall be conducted in San Francisco, California. Any party may be represented by counselor other authorized representative. In rendering a decision( s), the Arbitrator shall determine the rights and obligations of the parties

 

41


according to the substantive and procedural laws of the State of California and the terms and provisions of this Lease. The Arbitrator’s decision shall be based on the evidence introduced at the hearing, including all logical and reasonable inferences therefrom. The Arbitrator may make any determination, and/or grant any remedy or relief that is just and equitable. The decision must be based on, and accompanied by, a written statement of decision explaining the factual and legal basis for the decision as to each of the principal controverted issues. The decision shall be conclusive and binding, and it may thereafter be confirmed as a judgment by the Superior Court of the State of California, subject only to challenge on the grounds set forth in the California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1286.2. The validity and enforceability of the Arbitrator’s decision is to be determined exclusively by the California courts pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. The Arbitrator may award costs, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, and expert and witness costs, to the prevailing party, if any, as determined by the Arbitrator in his discretion. The Arbitrator’s fees and costs shall be paid by the non-prevailing party as determined by the Arbitrator in his discretion. A party shall be determined by the Arbitrator to be the prevailing party if its proposal for the resolution of dispute is the closer to that adopted by the Arbitrator. To the extent Tenant is the prevailing party and receives a monetary award, and Landlord does not pay the amount of such award to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date Tenant receives such award, Tenant may deduct from the next Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease, the amount of such award.

ARTICLE 25

LATE CHARGES

If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within ten (l0) days after Tenant’s receipt of notice from Landlord that said amount is due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount due. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment of Rent by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner.

Tenant hereby waives any claims for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, lost profits, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of the above purposes, Landlord shall at all times have a key with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and special security areas designated in advance by Tenant. In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Any entry into the Premises by Landlord in the manner hereinbefore described shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE (“First Amendment”) is entered into as of June 20, 1997, by and between Rincon Center Associates, a California limited partnership (“Landlord”), and National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, P .A., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Tenant”), with reference to the following facts:

A. Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Office Lease dated August 30, 1996 (the “Lease”), pursuant to which Landlord leased to Tenant and Tenant leased from Landlord certain premises (the “Premises”) located in Two Rincon Center, San Francisco, California (the “Building”). The location of the Premises is more particularly described in the Lease.

B. Landlord and Tenant desire to expand the Premises to include 18,565 rentable square feet of space located on the second (2nd) floor of the Building (the “Expansion Premises”), as such space is more particularly shown on the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit A.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows (capitalized terms used herein but not herein defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Lease):

1. Term. The term of the Lease with respect to the Expansion Premises shall commence on October 28, 1997 (the “Expansion Premises Commencement Date”), and shall expire, unless sooner terminated, pursuant to the terms of the Lease, as of the date upon which the term of the Lease is fixed to expire. From and after the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, the Expansion Premises shall be added to and deemed to be a part of the Premises; and references in the Lease to the “Premises” shall be deemed to include the Expansion Premises, unless the context clearly requires otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to occupy all or any portion of the Expansion Premises between July 1, 1997 and October 28, 1997, provided a certificate of occupancy has been issued for such portion of the Expansion Premises which allows for such occupancy. Such early occupancy shall be on all the same terms and conditions of this First Amendment, except for Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent.

2. Base Rent. From and after the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay as Base Rent for the Expansion Premises the sum of                     per rentable square foot per year (i.e.,                     per month) in accordance with the terms of the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purpose of convenience only for the Tenant, and with no intention whatsoever of modifying the rights and obligations of Landlord or Tenant in the Lease or this First Amendment, Landlord and Tenant agree to specify a “blended” Base Rent for the original Premises (i.e.                     per rentable square foot per year times 154,928 rentable square feet) and the Expansion Premises (i.e.,                     per rentable square foot per year times 18,565 rentable square feet) of                     per rentable square foot per year for 173,493 rentable square feet.

3. Tenant’s Proportionate Share. From and after the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, Tenant’s Share with respect to the Expansion Premises shall be 9.68% and Tenant’s Share with respect to the Expansion Premises and the initial Premises combined shall be 90.97%, and the Base Year with respect to the Expansion Premises shall be the same Base Year as with respect to the initial Premises under the terms of the Lease.

5. Improvement of Expansion Premises.

(a) Improvements. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall construct improvements in the Expansion Premises (the “Improvements”) in accordance with the terms of the Tenant Work Letter attached to the Lease as Exhibit B, with the following provisions expressly deleted: Section 1, Section 5, and Section 6.5. Tenant hereby agrees to accept the Premises and the Building in an “as-is” condition, with no obligation to repair, remodel, alter or modify the Premises or the Building, except that Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for remodeling the restrooms on the second floor of the Building so as to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and with finishes of a standard similar to those of the other floors of the Building and for performing any work in the currently existing common


corridor on the second floor of the Building expressly required by governmental authorities so as to bring the corridor into compliance with all laws as of the Expansion Premises Commencement Date.

6. Parking. The number “fifty” appearing in Section 11 of the Summary of Basic Lease information of the Lease referring to the number of parking spaces provided to Tenant is hereby deleted and the number “fifty-six” is hereby substituted therefore.

7. Brokerage. Tenant represents and warrants that it has dealt with no broker, agent or other person in connection with this transaction and that no broker, agent or other person brought about this transaction, and Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims by any broker, agent or other person claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt with Tenant with regard to this leasing transaction. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

8. Landlord’s Right to Reimburse Tenant Improvements.

(a) Exercise of Right. At any time during the initial Lease Term for the Expansion Premises, Landlord shall have the right (“Reimbursement Right”) to reimburse Tenant for the costs of constructing the tenant improvements in the Expansion Premises (which shall be deemed equal to                     per rentable square foot of the Expansion Premises) (hereinafter “Tenant Improvement Costs”). Landlord shall give Tenant notice (the “Reimbursement Notice”) that Landlord exercises the Reimbursement Right effective as of the first day for the second (2nd) month following the date of delivery of the Reimbursement Notice to Tenant (the “Effective Date”), the Base Rent for the Expansion Premises shall be increased to equal                     per rentable square foot, and Landlord shall pay Tenant on the Effective Date an amount equal to the “Unamortized Value” as that term is defined in Section 8(b), below, as of the Effective Date of the Tenant Improvement Costs.

(b) Calculation of Unamortized Value. The “Unamortized Value” of the Tenant Improvement Costs shall be equal to the product of (i)                     per rentable square foot of the Expansion Premises and (ii) a fraction in which the numerator is (A) the number of months remaining in the Lease Term as of one of the following dates, as applicable: (a) the Effective Date, (b) the date, if any, Tenant terminates the Lease pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Lease (the “Tenant Termination Date”), or (c) the “Restoration Date,” as that term is defined in Section 11.1 of the Lease, and (B) the denominator is 116.

9. Status of Lease. Except as amended hereby, the Lease remains unamended, and as amended hereby, the Lease and all the terms and conditions thereof remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this First Amendment as of the date first set forth above.

RECITALS

A. Pursuant to that certain Office Lease dated August 30, 1996, as amended by that certain First Amendment dated June 20, 1997, and that certain Second Amendment dated September 30, 1998 (collectively, the “Lease”), Rincon Center Associates (“Rincon”), a California limited partnership, leased to Tenant certain space (the “Premises”) on the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors of the building (the “Building”) located at Two Rincon Center, San Francisco, California. The exact location of the Premises is described in the Lease.

B. Landlord has succeeded to the interests of Rincon in the Premises and the Lease.

C. Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease with respect to the terms governing parking and the addresses of each party, as set forth herein.

TERMS

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows (capitalized terms used herein but not herein defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Lease):

1. Recitals. The recitals are incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

2. Parking. Article 28 of the Lease is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

ARTICLE 28

TENANT PARKING

28.1 Number of Parking Spaces. Commencing as of May 1, 1999, Tenant shall be entitled to rent 53 Tandem Spaces and Reserved Spaces on a monthly basis throughout the Lease Term. Landlord shall from time to time determine the ratio of Tandem Spaces and Reserved Spaces. As of the date of this Third Amendment, the ratio is 31 Reserved Spaces and 22 Tandem Spaces. Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord may adjust this ratio, not more than once per calendar year, by as much as twenty percent (20%).

28.2 Parking Rate. Commencing as of May 1, 1999 and continuing through the initial lease term (thereafter, at the prevailing market rate charged by Landlord), Tenant shall pay to Landlord for Parking Passes on a monthly basis the following rates, which rates are inclusive of all taxes:                     Dollars ($        ) per month for the Tandem Spaces, and                     Dollars ($        ) per month for the Reserved Spaces.

28.3 Additional Parking. Landlord shall also make available to Tenant up to seven (7) additional Tandem Spaces and/or Reserved Spaces, the ratio of which shall be determined from time to time by Landlord. Tenant shall pay the prevailing market rate for such spaces.

28.4 Use Operation and Maintenance of On-Site Parking Area. Tenant shall instruct its employees to abide by all rules and regulations which are prescribed from time to time for the orderly operation and use of the On-Site Parking Area. Landlord specifically reserves the right to reasonably change the size, configuration, design, layout and all other aspects of the On-site Parking Area at any time and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may, without incurring any liability to Tenant and without any abatement of Rent under this Lease, from time to time, temporarily close-off or restrict access to the On-Site


Parking Area for purposes of permitting or facilitating any such construction, alteration or improvements so long as Landlord provides adequate substitute parking reasonably acceptable to Tenant. Landlord may delegate its responsibilities hereunder to a parking operator in which case such parking operator shall have all the rights of control attributed hereby to the Landlord.

28.5 Transferability. The parking passes rented by Tenant pursuant to this Article 28 are provided to Tenant solely for use by Tenant’s own personnel and such passes may not be transferred, assigned, subleased or otherwise alienated by Tenant without Landlord’s prior approval; provided, however, Tenant may transfer a portion of the parking passes rented by Tenant pursuant to this Article 28 to an assignee or subtenant permitted pursuant to Article 14 of this Lease. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord in providing names of holders of the parking passes, license plate numbers and other reasonable information to Landlord so as to enable Landlord to monitor the On-Site Parking Area.

28.6 Visitor Parking. Landlord shall provide visitor parking for Tenant’s visitors in an amount consistent with the Comparable Buildings, subject to their payment of an hourly rate which shall not exceed the hourly rate generally charged in Comparable Buildings.

28.7 Overselling. Landlord agrees not to sell monthly parking passes for the On-Site Parking Area in an amount in excess of the product of (i) the number of stripped, legal size parking spaces in the On-Site Parking Area, and (ii) 1.20. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall use its good faith efforts to not sell more parking passes in the On-Site Parking Area than the number of parking spaces in the On-Site Parking Area. A reasonable amount of visitor parking shall be available in the Real Property and shall be at rates reasonably set by Landlord from time to time and standard for all tenants of the Building.

The total value of such rent abatement is the Base Rent payable during said six (6) month period (the “Rent Abatement”).

In the event that Tenant so elects to utilize the Rent Abatement early, then Tenant shall have no right to receive any rent abatement during the Initial Rent Abatement Period.

7.3 Tenant’s Share; Base Year. Prior to the Extended Term Commencement Date, Tenant shall continue to pay Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses in accordance with the terms of the Lease.

Upon the proper exercise of the option to extend, the Lease Term shall be extended by the Option Term, subject to every term and condition of this Lease, except that the applicable “Option Rent,” as that term is defined in Section 2.2.1.3, below, shall be determined as set forth in Section 2.2.1.3, below. Tenant shall have the right, exercisable concurrently with Tenant’s delivery of the “Option Notice,” as that term is defined below, to reduce the number of rentable square feet of office space which Tenant shall rent during the ensuing Option Term; provided, however, that Tenant may only reduce the size of the Premises in full floor increments (or so much of a floor as shall be leased by Tenant in the event of less than full floor leasing) (the term “Renewal Space” shall mean the portion of the Premises that Tenant elects to continue leasing for the Option Term). Tenant shall incur no penalty or charge in connection with the reduction in the size of the Premises during the ensuing Option Term.

2.2.1.1 Exercise of Option. Subject to the terms of this Section 2.2.1.1, the option shall be exercised by Tenant in the following manner: (i) Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord (the “Option Interest Notice”) not less than three hundred thirty (330) days prior to the expiration of the Lease Term (the “Option Interest Notice Outside Date”), stating that (A) Tenant is interested in exercising its option and (B) the number of rentable square feet of the Premises, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.2.1, above, which Tenant desires to lease during the Option Term; (ii) Landlord shall, after receipt of the Option

 

5


Interest Notice, deliver written notice (the “Option Rent Notice”) to Tenant not less than three hundred (300) days prior to the expiration of the Lease Term (the “Option Rent Notice Outside Date”), setting forth the proposed “Option Rent” as that term is defined in Section 2.2.1.2 below, which shall be applicable to this Lease during the Option Term, and (iii) (A) Tenant may, at its option, on or before the date occurring two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the expiration of the Lease Term (the “Arbitration Notice Outside Date”), deliver a written notice to Landlord (the “Fair Market Rent Arbitration Notice”), pursuant to which Fair Market Rent Arbitration Notice, Tenant may object to the proposed Option Rent or request the determination of Option Rent, if no Option Rent Notice was given because Tenant did not give the Option Interest Notice, in either of which cases the parties shall follow the procedure, and the Option Rent shall be determined, as set forth in Section 2.2.2 of this Lease, or (B) to the extent the terms of Section 2.2.2, below, are inapplicable (since Tenant did not deliver the Fair Market Rent Arbitration Notice), if Tenant wishes to exercise its extension option on the terms set forth in the Option Rent Notice, Tenant shall, on or before the date occurring two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the expiration of the Lease Term (the “Exercise Notice Outside Date”), exercise the option by delivering written notice thereof to Landlord (the “Option Exercise Notice”). Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Section 2.2.1.1, if the Renewal Space Tenant desires to lease during the Option Term consists of less than two (2) full floors, then for purposes of Tenant exercising its option to extend the Lease Term, the outside dates set forth above shall refer to the following outside dates: (a) the Option Interest Notice Outside Date shall instead mean not less than four hundred twenty-five (425) days prior to the expiration of the Lease Term; (b) the Option Rent Notice Outside Date shall mean not less than three hundred ninety-five (395) days prior to the expiration of the Lease Term; and (c) the Arbitration Notice Outside Date or the Exercise Notice Outside Date shall mean three hundred sixty-five (365) days prior to the expiration of the Lease Term. In the event Tenant fails to exercise its right to extend the Lease Term for the Option Term within the applicable time periods specified above, Tenant’s option rights as set forth in this Section 2.2.1.1 shall be terminated, and Tenant shall have no further rights pursuant to the terms of this Lease to extend the Lease Term.

2.2.1.2 Termination of Option Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not be allowed to exercise its option right and the Option Term shall not commence pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.2, if at the time Tenant gives Landlord the Option Exercise Notice, or the time the Option Term commences, as the case may be, Tenant is in material default or monetary default of this Lease pursuant to the terms of Section 19.1 below, after the giving of written notice to Tenant by Landlord and the expiration of all applicable cure periods.

2.2.1.3 Option Rent. The rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term (the “Option Rent”) shall be equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the then “Fair Market Rent.” “Fair Market Rent,” as used in this Lease, shall be equal to the rent, including escalations, if any, which tenants comparable to Tenant, as of the first day of the applicable Option Term, are leasing for a comparable term, non-renewal, non-equity space comparable in size to the Premises, Renewal Space, First Offer Space, or “Management Office,” as that term is defined in Section 4.2.4(38) of this Lease, as applicable, from a willing, comparable landlord, at arm’s length, which comparable space is located in the

 

6

2.2.2 Arbitration of Fair Market Rent. If the determination of Fair Market Rent is appropriately submitted to arbitration, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker or MAI certified appraiser who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing or appraisal of commercial high-rise properties in San Francisco, California. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of determining the actual Fair Market Rent for the applicable space, taking into account the requirements of Section 2.2.1.3. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Fair Market Rent Arbitration Notice by each party delivering notice of its appointment to the other party.

2.2.2.4 If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Fair Market Rent Arbitration Notice, the arbitrator appointed by one of them shall reach a decision, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. Such arbitrator’s decision shall be binding upon Tenant and Landlord.

2.2.2.5 If the two arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, or both parties fail to appoint an arbitrator, then the appointment of the third arbitrator or any arbitrator shall be dismissed and the matter to be decided shall be forthwith submitted to the arbitration procedures set forth in Article 24 of this Lease. Such decision shall be binding on Tenant and Landlord.

2.2.2.6 The cost of arbitration shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally.

2.2.2.7 If the amount of the Fair Market Rent is not determined within the time periods set forth above in this Section 2.2, and continues to be undetermined as of the commencement of the Option Term, then Tenant shall continue to pay the existing Base Rent for the applicable Renewal Space until the amount of the Fair Market Rent is determined.

Offer Notice shall describe the space so offered to Tenant, shall set forth the “First Offer Rent,” as that term is defined in this Section 1.6.1, below, and shall set forth the other terms upon which Landlord is willing to lease such space to Tenant, including the estimated delivery date of such space to Tenant, and the date upon which Tenant’s lease of such First Offer Space is to commence (the “First Offer Commencement Date”), which First Offer Commencement Date shall not be less than ninety (90) days after the date such space is delivered to Tenant (which 90-day period may or may not be considered in determining the First Offer Rent applicable to such space). The rent payable by Tenant for the First Offer Space (the “First Offer Rent”) shall be at the “Fair Market Rent” for the First Offer Space, as that term is defined in Section 2.2.1.3 of this Office Lease (as amended by Section 8 of the Sixth Amendment to Office Lease). In addition to the foregoing, within five (5) business days after request by Tenant, Landlord shall provide to Tenant in writing a listing (the “Available Space List”) of the First Offer Space that is then available for leasing or which Landlord reasonably believes will become available for leasing in the twenty-four (24) month period following the date of Tenant’s request, and such Available Space List shall set forth the existing term expiration date, the number of any renewal options and their respective exercise mechanisms and dates, the term of any renewal options, and a description of the specific additional space rights relating to the First Offer Space, for each then existing lease.
