EXHIBIT 10.34

 

SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE

 

This Second Amendment to Lease (the “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of October 1, 2003 by and between OTR, an Ohio general partnership, as nominee of the State Teachers Retirement Board of Ohio, a statutory organization created by the laws of the State of Ohio (“Landlord”), and REMEDYTEMP, INC., a California corporation (“Tenant”), with reference to the following facts, each of which the parties agree is true:

 

A.    Landlord’s predecessor-in-interest, Parker-Summit, LLC, a California limited liability company, and Tenant entered into a Lease dated as of March 21, 1997 pursuant to which Tenant leased that certain premises described as approximately 52,741 rentable square feet of space located on the first (1st) and second (2nd) floors, known as Suite 100 (the “Original Premises”) in the office building owned by Landlord located at 101 Enterprise, Aliso Viejo, California (the “Building”), the commencement date of which was September 14, 1998, as such Lease has been amended by that certain Letter Amendment thereto entered into between Landlord and Tenant dated as of February 4, 1999 (collectively, the “Lease”).

 

B.    Tenant now desires to modify the Original Premises to reduce the Tenant’s rentable area located on the first (1st) floor, Suite 100 of the Building by approximately 1,539 rentable square feet, thereby reducing the Original Premises to the areas on the first (1st) and second (2nd) floors that are delineated on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “New Premises”), and to make other modifications to the Lease, and in connection therewith, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease as hereinafter provided.

 

C.    Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Lease.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, FOR VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

 

1.    New Premises.    Commencing on October 1, 2003 (the “New Premises Commencement Date”), the Original Premises shall be reduced by approximately 1,539 rentable square feet (the “Reduction Space”) thereby reducing the Original Premises to the areas on the first (1st) and second (2nd) floors that are delineated on Exhibit A attached hereto. Therefore, for purposes of the Lease and this Amendment, effective as of the New Premises Commencement Date, the “Premises” shall mean the New Premises. The parties hereby stipulate that the New Premises contain 51,202 rentable square feet. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to continue to occupy the Reduction Space in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease (except for the payment of Rent) until March 31, 2004, whereupon Tenant shall surrender the Reduction Space in accordance with the terms of the Lease. If Tenant fails to so surrender the Reduction Space on or before March 31, 2004, then the holdover provisions of the Lease shall apply to such continued occupancy of the Reduction Space.


2.    Extension of Term.    The Expiration Date of the Lease is hereby changed to September 30, 2010.

 

3.    Construction of Tenant Improvements; Landlord’s Work.    Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Articles 12 and 13 of the Lease, Tenant shall have the right to construct certain tenant improvements, including any necessary cabling, re-configuration and/or re-assembly of furniture systems (“Tenant’s Improvements”) to the interior of the New Premises in accordance with those specifications and drawings prepared by Tenant and approved by Landlord in its reasonable discretion, including fully engineered working drawings (“Tenant’s Plans”). Tenant shall have the right to engage a space planner of its choice to prepare Tenant’s Plans, and Landlord shall provide Tenant an allowance of $0.12 per rentable square foot of the New Premises for the creation of Tenant’s Plans. In addition, Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time tenant improvement allowance for such improvements in an amount not to exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) (“Maximum Tenant Improvement Allowance”). All costs, expenses, fees or other expenses, directly or indirectly allocable or attributable to the construction contemplated under Tenant’s Plans in excess of the Maximum Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be the sole liability and responsibility of Tenant. Any portion of the Maximum Tenant Improvement Allowance that is not used by Tenant by September 30, 2005 for the installation and construction of the Tenant Improvements shall be retained by Landlord. Tenant shall not be required to perform Restoration (as defined in Section 2.3 of the Work Letter attached as Exhibit C to the Original Lease (the “Work Letter”)) of the kitchen area on the ground floor of the New Premises upon the termination of the Lease. Any construction work required to convert the ground floor of the Building from single-tenant occupancy to a multi-tenant occupancy, including and fire or life safety requirements, shall be performed by Landlord at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or herein, there shall be no supervision or construction and management review fee charged by Landlord or deducted from the Maximum Tenant Improvement Allowance relative to the construction of Tenant’s Improvements.

 

4.    Payment of Base Rent.    Commencing on the New Premises Commencement Date, the annual Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord for the New Premises shall be as follows:

 

For the Period


   Base Rent/RSF/Month

10/1/03 – 2/29/04

   $ 1.80

3/1/04 – 9/30/07

   $ 1.80

10/1/07 – 9/30/10

   $ 2.05

 

Provided that Tenant is not in default under the Lease, Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent for the period 10/1/03 – 2/29/04 (the “Abatement Period”) shall be abated.

 

5.    Additional Rent.    Commencing on the New Premises Commencement Date, (a) “Tenant’s Proportionate Share” shall be 63.73% (based on 80,348 rentable square feet in the Building), (b) the Base Year shall be calendar year 2004, and (c) the amount of increase in Controllable Operating Costs (as defined below) payable by Tenant over Controllable Operating

 

2


Costs for any prior year (other than the Base Year) shall not exceed 4% per annum. The phrase “Controllable Operating Costs” as used herein shall mean all Operating Costs for which the amount of increase is within Landlord’s reasonable direct control (e.g., excluding Operating Costs such as utilities, real estate taxes, insurance premiums and increases due to union related labor costs). Furthermore, Landlord shall not pass through any increased costs resulting from a Real Estate Tax increase due to a change of ownership in the Building or Project.

 

6.    Option to Terminate.    Provided that Tenant is not in default of any terms or conditions of the Lease, Tenant shall have a one-time right to terminate the Lease effective September 30, 2008 (“Termination Date”), provided that (a) Tenant delivers to Landlord written notice of its intent to exercise its option to terminate not later than nine (9) months prior to the Termination Date and (b) on or before the Termination Date, Tenant pays to Landlord a termination fee equal to the sum of $197,128, plus the unamortized portion of all leasing commissions paid by Landlord in connection with this Amendment pursuant to Paragraph 20 below, plus the unamortized portion of the Maximum Tenant Improvement Allowance paid by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 3 above.

 

7.    Option to Extend.    Tenant shall have one option (“Extension Option”) to extend the Term for a period of sixty (60) months (“Option Term”). The Extension Option must be exercised by irrevocable notice in writing of such exercise, delivered by Tenant to Landlord, not later than nine (9) months prior to the end of the Term. The Base Rent for the Option Term shall be the lesser of (i) the Base Rent then being paid or (ii) ninety-five percent (95%) of the then Fair Market Value (determined in accordance with Section 38.2 of the Lease). Upon exercise of the Extension Option, the Base Year for determination of Operating Costs during the Option Term shall be the first (1st) year of the Option Term. Tenant shall have no other right to extend the Term. The Extension Option is personal to Tenant and shall only be transferable to a permitted assignee under Article 16 of the Lease to which Tenant assigns its entire interest in the Lease.

 

8.    Signage.    In addition to Tenant’s signage rights provided under Section 36.1 of the Lease, Tenant shall have a one-time right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to relocate one of Tenant’s exclusive building top signs to a different location on the Building as mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant, subject to all governmental codes, city guidelines and the Project sign criteria. Tenant’s signage rights under the Lease are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to any person or entity other than the original Tenant.

 

9.    Parking.    Tenant shall be entitled to parking spaces as provided in Section 2.12 of the Lease. All parking allocated to Tenant, including reserved parking spaces, shall be free for the Term and for the Option Term (if Tenant exercises its Extension Option pursuant to Paragraph 7 of this Amendment).

 

10.    Services and Utilities.    The first sentence of Section 9.4 of the Lease is revised in full to read as follows: “Normal hours of operation for the Project are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, excluding the following

 

3


holidays: New Years Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.”

 

11.    Non-Disturbance Agreements.    Landlord hereby represents that, as of the date of execution and delivery of this Amendment, there is no Encumbrance (as defined in Article 24 of the Lease) currently encumbering the Project, the Building or the Premises or any part thereof. Tenant’s obligation under Article 24 of the Lease to subordinate the Lease to any future Encumbrance shall be subject to Tenant receiving a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement from the applicable Lender with respect to such Encumbrance.

 

12.    Interruption of Services.    In the event Tenant’s use of all or a part of the Premises is materially impaired such that Tenant does not and cannot operate for business from such affected part of the Premises for four (4) or more consecutive business days due to (a) the interruption of utility or mechanical services to the Premises to be provided by Landlord under the Lease or (b) Tenant being denied entry into the Premises, and such denial is (i) caused by Landlord, its invitees, vendors or contractors or (ii) a covered peril under Landlord’s insurance policy, then Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent and additional rent charges payable shall be proportionately abated or reduced, as the case may be, for such part of the Premises from the commencement of the fifth (5th) business day of the impairment until the applicable impairment is cured.

 

13.    Building Generator.    Tenant shall have the right to install, at grade level or below grade, in the area shown on Exhibit B hereto (the “Unit Area”) the following improvements (collectively “Generator Unit”): (a) a fully enclosed generator (“Generator”); (b) an above-ground storage tank (“AST”) which shall not exceed one thousand (1,000) gallons in capacity, shall be double-walled, shall contain diesel fuel only (to only power the Generator), and which shall employ at a minimum a double containment system whereby if the first containment system fails, a second containment system shall be present to prevent releases of Hazardous Material (which may be a sealed, un-cracked concrete slab containment area without drains which is sufficient to constitute the second containment system, provided it is large enough to completely contain a release of the maximum volume of diesel fuel which could be present in the AST); and (c) other associated improvements and conduits pre-approved by Landlord and reasonably necessary to operate the Generator and distribute the power therefrom. In connection with the installation of the Generator Unit, Tenant shall have the right to furnish and install empty conduits from the Unit Area to the Premises.

 

        a.    Generator License.    Landlord hereby grants Tenant a license (the “Generator License”) to use the Unit Area for the purpose of installing, operating and maintaining the Generator Unit at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

 

        b.    Use Restrictions.    The Generator shall be used only for periodic testing, maintenance and for emergency power to the Premises and/or other spaces within the Project that may be leased by Tenant or affiliates of Tenant. Tenant covenants that the Generator Unit and the storage, removal, transportation and disposal of all fuels consumed thereby shall comply with

 

4


all applicable laws (including, without limitation, Hazardous Materials Laws, as defined below) and code requirements, the cost of which compliance shall be entirely borne by Tenant.

 

        For purposes of the Lease, diesel fuel constitutes a “Hazardous Material”; however, Tenant is permitted to transport to, maintain in, and use from the AST diesel fuel; provided all such activities are performed in strict accordance with all applicable laws including without limitation Hazardous Material Laws (defined below). Tenant shall be solely responsible for complying with any and all federal, state, and local laws, statutes, zoning restrictions, ordinances, rules, regulations, guidelines, permits, licenses, governmental actions, orders, decrees, judgments, and rulings now or hereafter in force relating to the use of any Hazardous Material used or consumed by the Generator Unit and any requirements relating to the use of any Hazardous Material used or consumed by the Generator Unit of any duly constituted public authors having jurisdiction over the Project, including, without limitation, all permitting obligations (collectively, “Hazardous Material Laws”). For purposes of the Hazardous Material Laws, Tenant shall be the owner and operator of the AST. Any acknowledgment, consent or approval by Landlord of Tenant’s use or operation of the Generator Unit shall not constitute an assumption of risk respecting the same nor a warranty or certification by Landlord that Tenant’s proposed use and operation is safe or reasonable or in compliance with Hazardous Material Laws. All handling, use, storage and disposal of Hazardous Material relating to the Generator Unit shall be accomplished by Tenant at its sole cost and expense. From time to time during the Lease Term and for up to thirty (30) days thereafter, Landlord may retain a registered environmental consultant to conduct an investigation of the Generator Unit, the Unit Area and/or other portions of the Project which may be affected by any leakage, contamination or release of or by Hazardous Materials from the Generator Unit or in connection with any transportation, removal or disposal of Hazardous Materials to, from or relating to the Generator Unit: (i) for Hazardous Material contamination originating from the Generator Unit, and (ii) to assess the activities of Tenant for compliance with Hazardous Material Laws relative to the Generator Unit and to recommend the use of procedures intended to reasonably reduce the risk of a release of Hazardous Material (“Environmental Assessment”). If the Environmental Assessment discloses any material breach of Hazardous Material Laws by Tenant or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees, then the cost thereof shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant payable upon demand as additional rent under the Lease. Otherwise, the costs of the Environmental Assessment shall be the responsibility of Landlord. If the Environmental Assessment discloses any breach of Hazardous Material Laws by Tenant or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees relative to the Generator Unit, the cost and expenses of all cleanup and remediation thereof shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant payable upon demand by Landlord. If Landlord so requires, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expenses, perform all Hazardous Materials cleanup and remediation required or reasonably recommended in the Environmental Assessment, and comply with all reasonable recommendations contained in the Environmental Assessment, including any reasonable recommendations with respect to precautions which should be taken with respect to Tenant’s activities at the Project relative to the Generator Unit or any reasonable recommendations for additional testing and studies to detect the presence of Hazardous Material relative to the Generator Unit. If any monitoring procedure, cleanup or remediation is required as a consequence of any Hazardous Material contamination

 

5


by the Generator Unit, and the same is not completed (to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord) prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, then Tenant shall perform and complete the same notwithstanding any such expiration or earlier termination. The foregoing obligations of Tenant are not intended to, and do not liquidate, limit or waive Tenant’s defense and indemnity obligations set forth in the immediately following paragraph or elsewhere under the Lease.

 

        c.    Removal of Generator Unit.    On or before the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, at its own cost and expense, the Generator Unit and all related facilities in the Unit Area, and return the Unit Area to its condition existing prior to Tenant’s installation of the Generator Unit. If Tenant fails to complete such removal or fails to repair any damage caused by such removal, Landlord may complete such removal and repair such damage and charge the reasonable cost thereof to Tenant, which amounts shall be immediately payable by Tenant.

 

        d.    Rent.    Tenant shall pay all costs incurred by Landlord or Tenant for Tenant’s use of Building utilities in connection with the Generator Unit (including the cost of any separate metering requested by Landlord). In addition, Tenant shall pay for all costs in connection with the operation, maintenance, and repair of the Generator Unit and the Unit Area, and for all insurance required to be carried by Tenant therefor.

 

        e.    Approvals and Permits.    During the Term of the Lease and subject to the terms of Subsection f below, Tenant may install and operate the Generator Unit in the Unit Area, provided that: (i) Tenant has obtained Landlord’s prior written approval of the plans and specifications for the Generator Unit and all working drawings for the installation of the Generator Unit (collectively, the “Drawings”); (ii) Tenant has obtained all required permits and governmental or quasi-governmental approvals to install and operate the Generator Unit; and (iii) Tenant complies with all applicable governmental and quasi-governmental laws, regulations and building codes in connection with the Unit Area and the Generator Unit. Once Landlord has given its requisite approval, Tenant may not alter or modify the Drawings, or the actual installation of the Generator Unit without Landlord’s prior written consent.

 

        f.    Compatibility with Building Systems and Operations.    The Generator Unit shall be compatible with the Building systems and equipment and shall not impair or interfere with the use or operation of any other equipment, device or other improvement located at, in, on or about the Project or any portion thereof. If the installation, maintenance, repair, operation or removal of the Generator Unit requires any changes or modifications to any structural systems or components of the Building or any of the Building’s systems or equipment, Landlord shall have the right to either (i) perform such changes or modifications and Tenant shall pay for the reasonable costs thereof upon demand or (ii) require Tenant to perform such changes or modifications at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. If required by Landlord, in its sole discretion, or any governmental agency or authority, Tenant shall fully enclose the Unit Area with suitable fencing or other required enclosures, subject to the terms of Subsection e above. Landlord shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility in connection with any work performed by

In addition, Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend, protect, and hold the Landlord Parties harmless from and against any Liabilities resulting as a direct or indirect consequence of Tenant’s use of the Unit Area, the Generator Unit or access areas to the Unit Area. In addition, Tenant shall procure and maintain, at Tenant’s sole expense, insurance in connection with the Unit Area, the Generator Unit and the obligations assumed by Tenant under this Paragraph 13, in the same amounts and with the same types of coverage as required to be procured by Tenant under the Lease. The provisions of this Subsection h shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease
