Neither the occupancy of any portion of the Premises by an Affiliate, nor the payment of any Rent directly by an Affiliate, shall be deemed to create a landlord and tenant relationship between Landlord and such Affiliate, and, in all instances, Tenant shall be considered the sole tenant under this Lease.

12. Liens.

Tenant shall not permit mechanics’ or other liens to be placed upon the Property, Premises or Tenant’s leasehold interest in connection with any work or service done or purportedly done by or for the benefit of Tenant or its transferees. Tenant, within ten (10) days after notice from Landlord, shall fully discharge any lien by settlement, by bonding or by insuring over the lien in the manner prescribed by the applicable lien Law and, if Tenant fails to do so, Tenant shall be deemed in default under this Lease and, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord as a result of such default by Tenant, Landlord, at its option, may bond, insure over or otherwise discharge the lien. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any amount paid by Landlord, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

13. Indemnity and Waiver of Claims.

13.01 Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties (defined below), Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and Landlord Related Parties harmless against and from all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, actions, costs, charges and expenses, any and all cost of environmental clean-up including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other professional fees (if and to the extent permitted by Law) (collectively referred to as “Losses”), which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Landlord or any of the Landlord Related Parties by any third party and arising out of or in connection with any damage or injury occurring in the Premises during the Term or any acts or omissions (including violations of Law) of Tenant, the Tenant Related Parties (defined below) or any of Tenant’s transferees, contractors or licensees in, on or about the Premises, Building or the Property during the Term. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties, Tenant specifically agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord and the Landlord Related Parties (as defined below) from Losses arising from or in any way related to the handling of Hazardous Materials introduced by Tenant or any Tenant Related Parties during the Term or violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement pertaining to Hazardous Materials (collectively, “Tenant Environmental Losses”), including, without limitation, consequential damages, damages for personal or bodily injury, property damage, encumbrances, liens, costs and expenses of investigations, monitoring, clean up, removal or remediation of Hazardous Materials, defense costs of any claims, good faith settlements, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and costs, and losses attributable to the diminution of value, whether or not such Tenant Environmental Losses are contingent or otherwise, matured or unmatured, foreseeable or unforeseeable.

13.02 Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Related Parties (defined below), Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant, its trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees and agents (“Tenant Related Parties”) harmless against and from all Losses which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Tenant or any of the Tenant Related Parties by any third party and arising out of or in connection with the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or the Landlord Related Parties in, on or about the Property. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord specifically agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant and the Tenant Related Parties from Losses arising from or in any way related to the existence of Hazardous Materials at the Property prior to the Commencement Date or the handling of Hazardous Materials by Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties during the Term or violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement pertaining to Hazardous Materials (collectively, “Landlord Environmental Losses”), including, without limitation, consequential damages, damages for personal or bodily injury, property damage, encumbrances, liens, costs and expenses of investigations, monitoring, clean up, removal or remediation of Hazardous Materials, defense costs of any claims, good faith settlements, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and costs, and losses attributable to the diminution of value, whether or not such Landlord Environmental Losses are contingent or otherwise, matured or unmatured, foreseeable or unforeseeable. Tenant hereby waives all claims against and releases Landlord and its trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, Lender, and agents (the “Landlord Related Parties”) from all claims for any injury to or death of persons, damage to property or business loss in any manner related to (a) Force Majeure, (b) acts of third parties, (c) the bursting or leaking of any tank, water closet, drain or other pipe, (d) the inadequacy or failure of any security or protective services, personnel or equipment, or (e) any matter not within the reasonable control of Landlord, unless and to the extent any such injury, damage or loss arose from the negligence of any of the Landlord Parties.

14. Insurance.

14.01 Tenant shall maintain the following insurance (“Tenant’s Insurance”):

(a) “All-Risk” Property Insurance, for damage or other loss caused by fire or other casualty or cause including, but not limited to, vandalism and malicious mischief, and theft, and covering all of Tenant’s Property, in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost of such property;

Such insurance shall have a minimum combined single limit of liability of at least Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) per occurrence and a general aggregate limit (combined primary and excess) of at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). All such policies shall be written to apply to bodily injury, property damage, personal injury losses and shall be endorsed to include Landlord and its agents (including, without limitation, any property manager), beneficiaries, partners, members, employees, and any Lender as additional insureds. Such liability insurance shall be written as primary policies, not excess or contributing with or secondary to any other insurance as may be available to the additional insureds;

(c) Worker’s Compensation Insurance in accordance with the laws of the State of California, and Employer’s Liability insurance in accordance with the greater of limits required by law or One Million Dollars ($1,000,000); Bodily Injury Each Accident One Million Dollars ($1,000,000); Bodily Injury By Disease – Each Person One Million Dollars ($1,000,000); and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) Bodily Injury By Disease – Policy Limit; and

(d) Automobile Liability Insurance covering all owned vehicles, hired vehicles, and all other non-owned vehicles.

All insurance required to be maintained by Tenant shall be issued by insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of California and rated not less than A-VIII in Best’s Insurance Guide. A certificate of insurance evidencing the insurance required under this Section 14 shall be delivered to Landlord not less than on or prior to the Commencement Date. Such policies shall contain only deductibles in amounts which are customary and acceptable to Landlord. No such policy shall be subject to cancellation without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord and to any Lender designated by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if Tenant’s insurer does not issue such endorsements, than Tenant shall provide Landlord written notice of any such cancellation or reduction in coverage within five (5) Business Days of Tenant’s receipt of notice of the same). Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a replacement certificate with respect to any insurance not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the current policy. Tenant shall have the right to provide the insurance required by this Section 14 pursuant to blanket policies, but only if such blanket policies expressly provide coverage to the Premises and Landlord as required by this Lease.

14.02 Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord shall maintain insurance against loss or damage with respect to the Building and the Building Systems on an “all risk”/”special form” type insurance form, with customary exceptions, subject to such deductibles as Landlord may reasonably determine, in an amount equal to at least the replacement value of the Building. Landlord may also maintain such other insurance as may from time to time be required by a Lender. The coverage and amounts of insurance carried by Landlord in connection with the Building shall, at a minimum, be comparable to the coverage and amounts of insurance carried by reasonably prudent landlords of buildings comparable to and in the vicinity of the Building.

15. Waiver of Subrogation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant hereby release each other and their respective agents, employees, successors, assignees and subtenants from all liability for damage to any property, including rights, claims, actions and causes of action based on negligence, which damage is caused by or results from a risk which is actually insured against, which is required to be insured against under the Lease, or which would normally be covered by a standard special causes of loss policy of property insurance. For the purposes of this waiver, any deductible with respect to a party’s insurance shall be deemed covered by and recoverable by such party under valid and collectable policies of insurance. All of Landlord’s and Tenant’s repair and indemnity obligations under the Lease shall be subject to the waiver contained in this paragraph.

16. Casualty Damage.

16.01 If all or any portion of the Premises becomes untenantable or inaccessible by fire or other casualty to the Premises or the Common Areas (collectively a “Casualty”), Landlord shall cause a general contractor selected by Landlord to promptly provide Landlord with a written estimate of the amount of time required, using standard working methods, to substantially complete the repair and restoration of the Premises and any Common Areas necessary to provide access to the Premises (Completion Estimate). If the Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises or any Common Areas necessary to provide access to the Premises cannot be made tenantable within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the Casualty, then either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to the other within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Completion Estimate. In addition, either party, by notice to the other party delivered within ninety (90) days after the date of the Casualty, shall have the right to terminate this Lease if the Premises have been materially damaged and there is less than 1 year of the Term remaining on the date of the Casualty and the Completion Estimate exceeds sixty (60) days from the date of the Casualty. Landlord shall not have the right to terminate the Lease if the damage to the Building is (a) due to a risk required to be insured against under Section 14.02 of the Lease or (b) repair or restoration would cost less than ten percent (10%) of the replacement cost of the Building.

 

10


16.02 If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 16.01, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, restore the Premises and Common Areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition that existed prior to the Casualty, except for modifications required by Law. Upon notice from Landlord, Tenant shall assign or endorse over to Landlord all property insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s Insurance with respect to any Leasehold Improvements to be performed by Landlord for the benefit of Tenant. In no event shall Landlord be required to spend more for the restoration of the Premises and Common Areas than the insurance proceeds received by Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience to Tenant, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from the Casualty or the repair thereof; provided, however, that during any period when Tenant’s use of the Premises is materially impaired by damage or destruction, Rent shall equitably abate in proportion to the degree to which Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired.

16.03 The provisions of this Lease, including this Section 16, 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 or the Property, and any Laws, 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 similar or successor Laws 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 or the Property.

17. Condemnation.

Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease if any material part of the Premises is taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use under Law, by eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking”). Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if there is a Taking of any portion of the Building or Property that would have a material adverse effect on Landlord’s ability to profitably operate the remainder of the Building. Landlord shall provide written notice of the Taking to Tenant within five (5) days after Landlord first receives notice of the Taking. Either party shall provide written notice of termination to the other party within ninety (90) days after Tenant first receives notice of the Taking. The termination shall be effective as of the effective date of any order granting possession to, or vesting legal title in, the condemning authority. If this Lease is not terminated, Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be appropriately adjusted to account for any reduction in the square footage of the Building or Premises. All compensation awarded for a Taking shall be the property of Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord will receive only those portions of the condemnation award not attributable to Tenant’s personal property, moving costs, or goodwill. If only a part of the Premises is subject to a Taking and this Lease is not terminated, Landlord, with reasonable diligence, will restore the remaining portion of the Premises as nearly as practicable to the condition immediately prior to the Taking and during any period when Tenant’s use of the Premises is materially impaired by such restoration, Rent shall equitably abate in proportion to the degree to which Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or any similar or successor Laws.

18. Events of Default.

In addition to any other Event of Default specifically described in this Lease, each of the following occurrences shall be an “Event of Default: (a) Tenant’s failure to pay any portion of Rent when due, if the failure continues for three (3) Business Days after written notice to Tenant (Monetary Default); (b) Tenant’s failure (other than a Monetary Default) to comply with any term, provision, condition or covenant of this Lease, if the failure is not cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice to Tenant provided, however, if Tenant’s failure to comply cannot reasonably be cured within fifteen (15) days, Tenant shall be allowed additional time (not to exceed thirty (30) days) as is reasonably necessary to cure the failure so long as Tenant begins the cure within fifteen (15) days and diligently pursues the cure to completion; (c) Tenant permits a Transfer without Landlord’s required approval or otherwise in violation of Section 11 of this Lease; (d) Tenant becomes insolvent, makes a transfer in fraud of creditors, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits in writing its inability to pay its debts when due or forfeits or loses its right to conduct business; or (e) Tenant does not take possession of the Premises. All notices sent under this Section shall be in satisfaction of, and not in addition to, notice required by Law.

19. Remedies.

19.01 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, whether enumerated in Section 18 or not, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies:

(a) Terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and recover from Tenant an award of damages equal to the sum of the following:

 

  (i)

The Worth at the Time of Award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination;

 

11


  (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 Rent loss that Tenant affirmatively proves could have been reasonably avoided;

 

  (iii)

The Worth at the Time of Award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant affirmatively proves could be reasonably avoided;

 

  (iv)

Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment either proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result there from; and

 

  (v)

All such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time under applicable law.

The “Worth at the Time of Award” of the amounts referred to in parts (i) and (ii) above, shall be computed by allowing interest at the lesser of a per annum rate equal to: (A) the greatest per annum rate of interest permitted from time to time under applicable law, or (B) the Prime Rate plus five percent (5%) as determined by Landlord.

(b) Employ the remedy described in California Civil Code § 1951.4 (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations); or

(c) Notwithstanding Landlord’s exercise of the remedy described in California Civil Code § 1951.4 in respect of an Event or Events of Default, at such time thereafter as Landlord may elect in writing, to terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and recover an award of damages as provided above in Section 19.01(a).

19.02 The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent. No waiver by Landlord of any breach hereof shall be effective unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Landlord.

19.03 TENANT HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS CONFERRED BY SECTION 3275 OF THE CIVIL CODE OF CALIFORNIA AND BY SECTIONS 1174 (c) AND 1179 OF THE CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OF CALIFORNIA AND ANY AND ALL OTHER LAWS AND RULES OF LAW FROM TIME TO TIME IN EFFECT DURING THE LEASE TERM OR THEREAFTER PROVIDING THAT TENANT SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHT TO REDEEM, REINSTATE OR RESTORE THIS LEASE FOLLOWING ITS TERMINATION BY REASON OF TENANT’S BREACH.

19.04 No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing by agreement, applicable Law or in equity. In addition to other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to injunctive relief, or to a decree compelling performance of any of the covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or to any other remedy allowed to Landlord at law or in equity. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an Event of Default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such Event of Default.

19.05 If there is an Event of Default of any of Tenant’s non-monetary obligations under the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to perform such obligations. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of such performance upon demand together with an administrative charge equal to five percent (5%) of the cost of the work performed by Landlord.

19.06 This Section 19 shall be enforceable to the maximum extent such enforcement is not prohibited by applicable Law, and the unenforceability of any portion thereof shall not thereby render unenforceable any other portion.

20. Limitation of Liability.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE, THE LIABILITY OF LANDLORD (AND OF ANY SUCCESSOR LANDLORD) TO TENANT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN THE PROPERTY (INCLUDING RENTS, PROFITS, INSURANCE PROCEEDS, AND SALE PROCEEDS).

 

12


TENANT SHALL LOOK SOLELY TO LANDLORD’S INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY FOR THE RECOVERY OF ANY JUDGMENT. NEITHER LANDLORD NOR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY SHALL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY JUDGMENT OR DEFICIENCY, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL LANDLORD OR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY BE LIABLE TO TENANT FOR ANY LOST PROFIT, DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANY FORM OF SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE. BEFORE FILING SUIT FOR AN ALLEGED DEFAULT BY LANDLORD, TENANT SHALL GIVE LANDLORD AND THE LENDER(S) WHOM TENANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED HOLD SUPERIOR INTERESTS (DEFINED IN SECTION 22 BELOW), NOTICE AND REASONABLE TIME TO CURE THE ALLEGED DEFAULT.

21. Holding Over.

If Tenant fails to surrender all or any part of the Premises at the termination of this Lease, occupancy of the Premises after termination shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance, Tenant’s occupancy shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Lease and Tenant shall pay an amount (on a per month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover) equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the sum of the Base Rent and Additional Rent due for the period immediately preceding the holdover. Tenant shall be liable for all out-of-pocket damages that Landlord suffers from the holdover.

22. Subordination to Superior Interests; Estoppel Certificate.

22.01 This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any first mortgage or deed of trust and to any junior mortgage or deed of trust that has been approved by the first mortgagee or deed of trust beneficiary that may now or hereafter be placed upon the Building and to any and all advances to be made under such mortgages and to the interest thereon, and all renewals, extensions and consolidations thereof (collectively, “Superior Interests”), provided that the mortgagee or deed of trust beneficiary (“Lender”) agrees in writing in form reasonably acceptable to Tenant to the provisions of Section 22.02. Any Lender may elect to give this Lease priority to its Superior Interest. In the event of such election and upon notification by such Lender, this Lease shall be deemed prior in lien to the said Superior Interest. This Section 22 shall be self-operative, but in confirmation thereof, within twenty (20) Business Days after demand, Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever commercially reasonable instruments may be required by the first Lender or junior Lender to acknowledge such subordination or priority in a recordable form, and if Tenant fails to do so with in such twenty (20) Business Day period, Tenant will be in default of this Lease. Any standard processing fee of a Lender and any Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees associated with the execution of any subordination and non-disturbance agreement shall be payable as additional rent. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall submit a request to such Lender, on behalf of Tenant, that the subject Lender enter into a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement with Tenant which shall provide that such Lender recognizes the Lease and Tenant’s rights thereunder and that Tenant’s possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed in the event of a foreclosure so long as there is not an Event of Default. Tenant shall execute and deliver a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit I to this Lease to Landlord when Tenant executes and delivers this Lease to Landlord.

22.02 Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 22.01, in the event of a foreclosure of any such Superior Interest or of any other action or proceeding for the enforcement thereof, or of any sale thereunder, this Lease shall not be terminated or extinguished, nor shall the rights and possession of Tenant hereunder be disturbed, if no Event of Default then exists under this Lease, and Tenant shall attorn to the person who acquires Landlord’s interest through any such Superior Interest.

22.03 Within Twenty (20) Business Days after Landlord’s request from time to time Tenant shall furnish to Landlord (or as Landlord may direct) Tenant’s written and duly signed certification that this Lease is in full force and effect without amendment (or with such changes as may then be effective, which shall be stated in the certificate), that Tenant has no defense, offset, or counterclaim against its rent payment or other obligations hereunder (or specifying such defenses, offsets, or counterclaims if they are claimed), the dates to which rent and other charges have been paid, that neither Landlord nor Tenant is in default under this Lease (or specifying any default of either party in detail in the certificate) and any other factual certifications reasonably requested by Landlord. Any prospective purchaser or Lender may rely on such certifications.

23. Notice.

All notices shall be in writing and delivered by hand or sent by registered, express, or certified mail, with return receipt requested or with delivery confirmation requested from the U.S. postal service, or sent by overnight or same day courier service at the party’s respective Notice Address(es) set forth in Section 1. Each notice shall be deemed to have been received on the earlier to occur of actual delivery or the date on which delivery is refused, or, if Tenant has vacated the Premises or any other Notice Address of Tenant without providing a new Notice Address, three (3) Business Days after notice is deposited in the U.S. mail or with a courier service in the manner described above. Either party may, at any time, change its Notice Address (other than to a post office box address) by giving the other party written notice of the new address.

 

13


24. Surrender of Premises.

At the termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession, Tenant shall remove Tenant’s Property from the Premises, and quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean, and in good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear, casualty, condemnation, and damage which Landlord is obligated to repair hereunder excepted. If Tenant fails to remove any of Tenant’s Property, or to restore the Premises to the required condition, within five (5) Business Days after termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall be entitled (but not obligated) to remove and store Tenant’s Property and/or perform such restoration of the Premises. Landlord shall not be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping of Tenant’s Property. Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and storage charges incurred. If Tenant fails to remove Tenant’s Property from the Premises or storage, within thirty (30) days after notice, Landlord may deem all or any part of Tenant’s Property to be abandoned and, at Landlord’s option, title to Tenant’s Property shall vest in Landlord or Landlord may dispose of Tenant’s Property in any manner Landlord deems appropriate.

25. Miscellaneous.

25.01 This Lease shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of California and Landlord and Tenant hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction and proper venue of such state. If any term or provision of this Lease shall to any extent be void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected. If there is more than one Tenant or if Tenant is comprised of more than one party or entity, the obligations imposed upon Tenant shall be joint and several obligations of all the parties and entities, and requests or demands from any one person or entity comprising Tenant shall be deemed to have been made by all such persons or entities.

25.02 In any action or proceeding between Landlord and Tenant, including any appellate or alternative dispute resolution proceeding, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party all of its actual costs and expenses in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred. No failure by either party to declare a default immediately upon its occurrence, nor any delay by either party in taking action for a default, nor Landlord’s acceptance of Rent with knowledge of a default by Tenant, shall constitute a waiver of the default, nor shall it constitute an estoppel.

25.03 Whenever a period of time is prescribed for the taking of an action by Landlord or Tenant (other than the payment of the Security Deposit or Rent), the period of time for the performance of such action shall be extended by the number of days that the performance is actually delayed due to strikes, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, terrorist acts, pandemics, civil disturbances and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the performing party (Force Majeure).

25.04 Landlord shall have the right to transfer and assign, in whole or in part, all of its rights and obligations under this Lease and in the Building and Property. Upon transfer, Landlord shall be released from any further obligations hereunder and Tenant agrees to look solely to the successor in interest of Landlord for the performance of such obligations, provided that any successor pursuant to a voluntary, third party transfer (but not as part of an involuntary transfer resulting from a foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof) shall have assumed Landlord’s obligations under this Lease and Landlord shall have transferred the Letter of Credit and any proceeds therefrom to the successor.

25.05 Time is of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise of any expansion, renewal or extension rights granted to Tenant. The expiration of the Term, whether by lapse of time, termination or otherwise, shall not relieve either party of any obligations which accrued prior to or which may continue to accrue after the expiration or termination of this Lease.

25.06 Tenant may peacefully have, hold and enjoy the Premises, subject to the terms of this Lease, provided Tenant pays the Rent and fully performs all of its covenants and agreements. This covenant shall be binding upon Landlord and its successors only during its or their respective periods of ownership of the Building.

25.07 This Lease does not grant any rights to light or air over or about the Building. Landlord accepts and reserves exclusively to itself any and all rights not specifically granted to Tenant under this Lease. Landlord reserves the right to make changes to the Property, Building and Common Areas as Landlord deems appropriate. This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings related to the Premises, including all lease proposals, letters of intent and other documents. Neither party is relying upon any warranty, statement or representation not contained in this Lease. This Lease may be modified only by a written agreement signed by an authorized representative of Landlord and Tenant.

26. Financial Statements.

Tenant shall furnish to Landlord within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s written request, but no more often than once in the Term, an accurate, up-to-date, audited (or unaudited and certified by Tenant’s chief financial officer) statement showing the financial condition of Tenant for the preceding fiscal year. Unless public by other means, Landlord will maintain confidential such statements, except as required by applicable law or court order; however Landlord may provide such statements to Landlord’s prospective and actual lenders and purchasers, and its and their accountants, attorneys and partners; provided that Landlord shall inform such parties as to the confidentiality of such materials and information and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such parties to abide by the confidentiality provisions of this Section 26.

27. Bicycles.

Subject to any requirements of applicable Law, Tenant shall be permitted to store bicycles within the Premises; provided, however, Tenant shall be strictly liable for any damage to the Premises and/or the Property or injury to persons which may be caused by or result from the storage of any bicycle in the Premises and Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against any and all Losses arising from the presence of each such bicycle in, on or about the Property (including, without limitation, any costs of cleaning). Without limiting the foregoing, (a) bicycles shall be walked through the Premises only, no bicycle shall be ridden within the Premises at any time under any circumstances; and (b) Tenant will take all necessary precautions to prevent injury to persons or damage to property resulting from bringing bicycles into the Premises, including, without limitation, providing for methods to remove water, oil, grease or other substances tracked into the Premises with any bicycles, and ensuring that bicycles are not left in areas which would impede exit from the Premises during an emergency or entrance to the Premises by any emergency personnel.

Upon Landlord’s written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and the execution by Landlord and Tenant of a pet agreement relating to such pet, Tenant shall be permitted to bring two dogs, but no more than two dogs, into the Premises; provided, however, that: (i) such consent is revocable by Landlord at any time, and any consent granted with respect to a particular pet shall not affect Landlord’s right to exclude any and all other pets from the Property; (ii) Tenant shall not allow any pet permitted to occupy the Premises to damage the Premises, disturb the exterior of the Premises, the Building or the Project, including landscaping or other ground cover, to disturb other tenants, occupants or users of the Property or to deposit waste on the Property; (iii) such pet shall occupy the Premises as an invitee of Tenant, Tenant shall be strictly liable for any damage to the Premises and/or the Property or injury to persons which may be caused by any such pet and Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against any and all Losses arising from the presence of each such pet in, on or about the Property (including, without limitation, any costs of cleaning), and (iv) Tenant’s commercial liability insurance shall include an endorsement or rider, in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, covering injury to persons and/or damage to property caused by each such pet. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) each pet shall be housebroken, (b) no pet shall be fed or given water on any unprotected carpeted area inside the Premises, or allowed to urinate or defecate on any unprotected carpeted area inside the Premises, (c) Tenant shall immediately remove and properly dispose of any pet waste in, on or around the Property, (d) Tenant may not leave any pet within the Premises overnight, abandon a pet or otherwise leave a pet unattended for any extended period, and (e) Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, comply with all applicable Laws related to the ownership and care of each pet, including, without limitation, any laws applicable to bringing a pet into a place of work. Prior to bringing any pet into the Premises, Tenant shall apply to Landlord for approval of each such pet which Tenant wishes to bring into the Premises, which application shall identify the pet with reasonable specificity for later identification of such pet and shall include a photograph of the pet and, upon Landlord’s approval of such pet, shall enter into a separate pet agreement relating to Tenant’s right to bring such pet into the Premises.

29. Option to Extend (Subject to Landlord Recapture Right).

29.01 So long as Tenant occupies the entire Premises, Tenant shall have one (1) option (an “Extension Option”) to extend the Term with respect to the entirety of the Premises for a period of five (5) years (the “Extension Period”), subject to the following conditions:

(a) Tenant’s option to extend shall be exercised, if at all, by notice of exercise given to Landlord by Tenant not more than fifteen (15) months nor less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration date of the Lease (the “Expiration Date”). If the Tenant’s option to extend is not so exercised, the Extension Option shall be of no further force and effect and Landlord shall be entitled to lease the Premises after the Expiration Date to any party on any terms.

(b) Tenant shall accept the entire Premises on an “AS-IS” basis.

 

15


(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if there is an Event of Default, either at the time Tenant exercises the Extension Option or at any time thereafter prior to or upon the commencement date of the Extension Period, Landlord shall have, in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies provided in the Lease, the right to terminate the Extension Option upon notice to Tenant.

(d) In the event the Extension Option is exercised in a timely fashion and the requirements set forth above are satisfied, the Lease shall be extended for the term of the Extension Period subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, provided that the Base Rent for the Extension Period shall be the fair market rent which tenants are paying in rent for lease renewals for similar premises which have a certificate of occupancy for office use, in the “South of Market” area of San Francisco, under similar terms and conditions as contained in this Lease. The “South of Market” area shall be the area with the boundaries of The Embarcadero, Fifth Street, Townsend Street, and Market Street. The MAI appraisers referred to in Section 29.01(f) shall consider any 1) rent abatements, 2) tenant improvements paid by the tenant and/or tenant improvements paid by the landlord; 3) monetary concessions by either the landlord or the tenant for such renewals; (4) building improvements, (5) quality of the base building construction and improvements, and (6) the quality of locations, among other things, in determining the rent for similar premises in comparable buildings in comparable locations in the “South of Market” area of San Francisco.

(e) In the event the Extension Option is exercised in a timely fashion and the requirements set forth above are satisfied, not later than six (6) months prior to the Expiration Date of the Term, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the Landlord’s determination, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, of the fair market rent, based on the provisions set forth above. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to accept Landlord’s statement of fair market rent as the Base Rent for the Extension Period or reject Landlord’s statement of the fair market rent. If Tenant rejects Landlord’s determination, Tenant shall provide Landlord its reasonable determination of the fair market rent. If Tenant does not accept or reject Landlord’s determination of fair market rent and execute an extension within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s Notice of fair market rent, Tenant shall be deemed to have rejected Landlord’s determination.

(f) If Tenant rejects or is deemed to have rejected Landlord’s determination of the fair market rent, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate, in good faith, the fair market rent. If the parties cannot agree on the fair market rent within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s rejection or deemed rejection, then either party may elect to determine the fair market rent value through the following arbitration procedure: Upon either party’s election to arbitrate the fair market rent value, each party shall specify in writing to the other the name and address of a person to act as the appraiser on its behalf. Each such person shall be an MAI appraiser with at least ten (10) years of experience determining the prevailing market rents for comparable office buildings in the “South of Market” area of San Francisco. If either party fails to timely appoint an appraiser within fifteen (15) days of either party’s election to determine the fair market rent through arbitration, the determination of the timely appointed appraiser shall be final and binding. The two appraisers shall have twenty-one (21) days from the day of their respective appointments (the “Determination Period”) to make their respective determinations and agree on the fair market rent. If the two appraisers selected by the Landlord and Tenant cannot reach agreement on the fair market rent, then within five (5) Business Days following the Determination Date, such appraisers shall render written reports of their respective determinations of fair market rent and shall jointly appoint an impartial third appraiser with qualifications similar to those of the first two appraisers, and the fair market rent shall be established by the three appraisers in accordance with the following procedures: The appraiser selected by each party shall, within ten (10) Business Days following his or her appointment make a separate determination of the fair market rent. The Base Rent, escalation factor and Additional Rent during the first lease year of the Extension Period shall equal the median of the three determinations and shall be final and conclusive on Landlord and Tenant. Each party shall pay the cost of its own appraiser and shall share equally the cost of the third appraiser. If the two appraisers cannot agree on the selection of the third appraiser, then either party may apply to Law and Motion Judge of the San Francisco Superior Court for the selection for the third appraiser.

29.02 Tenant’s extension rights are personal to Tenant and shall not apply to any Transferee of Tenant (other than a Transferee under a Permitted Transfer). If at any time during the Term, Tenant has Transferred more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises in the aggregate (not including Permitted Transfers), then Tenant’s rights to extend shall be null and void and of no further force or effect,

30. Americans with Disability Act.

30.01 Landlord, at its cost, shall deliver the Premises to Tenant in full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) as of the Commencement Date, except that any alterations, additions or improvements required to modify the Premises in conjunction with the ADA because of Tenant’s proposed alterations or improvements to the Premises shall be undertaken by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost, and shall be approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and paid by Tenant. After the Commencement Date, Tenant shall maintain and repair the Premises in compliance with ADA at its sole cost, except for any violations of ADA existing at the Commencement Date, which Landlord shall correct at Landlord’s sole cost. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in

 

16


this Section 30.01, Tenant will not be required to make any structural changes to the Premises unless required due to alterations made by Tenant, due to Tenant’s particular use of the Premises, or due to Tenant’s acts or omissions. Within ten (10) days after receipt, Tenant shall advise Landlord in writing of any notices alleging violation of ADA relating to the Premises.

30.02 The Premises have not undergone an inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp). Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord the Disability Access Obligations Notice attached hereto as Exhibit J at the time of execution of this Lease.

31. Non Residential Building Energy Use Data Disclosures; Tenant Annual Disclosure of Energy Use Data.

A. Landlord shall provide the Disclosure Summary Sheet, Statement of Energy Performance, Data Checklist and Facility Summary (as described in Regulation Section 1684(a), and hereafter described as the “Disclosure Data”) regarding the prior 12 months of office energy use to Tenant within thirty days of the commencement of the Term.

B. Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord, and provide annual “Energy Use Data” required to be disclosed by Regulation Section 1681(g) for the Premises, and/or request that utilities serving the Premises provide the last 12 months of such Energy Use Data for the Premises pursuant to Portfolio Manager, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR program online tool for managing Energy Use Data. Landlord shall use such Energy Use Data for the sole purpose of providing the Disclosure Data to prospective buyers, lessees or lenders as required under Regulation Section 1684, and to satisfy the annual energy benchmarking, and the five year energy efficiency audits, required under the San Francisco “Existing Commercial Buildings Energy Performance Ordinance”, San Francisco Environmental Code, Chapter 20, Sections 2000-2009.

32. Lease Conditioned Upon Termination of Existing Lease to Ticketfly, LLC, That Was Acquired by Eventbrite, Inc. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Premises is currently leased to Ticketfly, LLC, successor to Ticketfly, Inc., a Delaware corporation, that was acquired by Eventbrite, a Delaware corporation.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Lease.

1. Payments.

1.01 Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount, if any, by which Expenses (defined below) for each calendar year during the Term exceed Expenses for the Base Year (the “Expense Excess”) and also the amount, if any, by which Taxes (defined below) for each calendar year during the Term exceed Taxes for the Base Year (the “Tax Excess”). On or before the first day of each month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a monthly installment equal to one-twelfth of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Landlord’s estimate of both the Expense Excess and Tax Excess. If Landlord does not provide Tenant with an estimate of the Expense Excess or the Tax Excess by January 1 of a calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly installments based on the previous year’s estimate(s) until Landlord provides Tenant with the new estimate.

1.02 As soon as is practical following the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a statement of the actual Expenses and Expense Excess and the actual Taxes and Tax Excess for the prior calendar year. If the estimated Expense Excess or estimated Tax Excess for the prior calendar year is more than the actual Expense Excess or actual Tax Excess, as the case may be, for the prior calendar year, Landlord shall either provide Tenant with a refund or apply any overpayment by Tenant against Additional Rent due or next becoming due, provided if the Term expires before the determination of the overpayment, Landlord shall refund any overpayment to Tenant after first deducting the amount of Rent due. If the estimated Expense Excess or estimated Tax Excess for the prior calendar year is less than the actual Expense Excess or actual Tax Excess, as the case may be, for such prior year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the statement of Expenses or Taxes, any underpayment for the prior calendar year.

2. Expenses.

2.01 “Expenses” means all costs and expenses incurred in each calendar year in connection with operating, maintaining, repairing, and managing the Building and the Property. Expenses include, without limitation: (a) all labor and labor related costs, including wages, salaries, bonuses, taxes, insurance, uniforms, training, retirement plans, pension plans and other employee benefits; (b) management fees not to exceed three percent (3%) of the gross income derived from the Building; (c) the cost of equipping, staffing and operating an on-site and/or off-site management office for the Building, provided if the management office services one or more other buildings or properties, the shared costs and expenses of equipping, staffing and operating such management office(s) shall be equitably prorated and apportioned between the Building and the other buildings or properties; (d) accounting costs; (e) the cost of services, except janitorial services; (f) rental and purchase cost of parts, supplies, tools and equipment; (g) insurance premiums; and (h) the amortized cost of capital improvements (as distinguished from replacement parts or components installed in the ordinary course of business) made subsequent to the Base Year which are: (1) performed primarily to reduce current or future operating expense costs, upgrade Building security or otherwise improve the operating efficiency of the Property; or (2) required to comply with any Laws that are enacted, or first interpreted to apply to the Property, after the date of the Lease. The cost of capital improvements shall be amortized by Landlord over the useful life of the capital improvement as reasonably determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Landlord, by itself or through an affiliate, shall have the right to directly perform, provide and be compensated for any services under the Lease. If Landlord incurs Expenses for the Building or Property together with one or more other buildings or properties, whether pursuant to a reciprocal easement agreement, common area agreement or otherwise, the shared costs and expenses shall be equitably prorated and apportioned between the Building and Property and the other buildings or properties.

2.02 Expenses shall not include: the cost of capital improvements (except as set forth above); expense reserves; depreciation; principal payments of Superior Interests and other non-operating debts of Landlord; the cost of repairs or other work to the extent Landlord is reimbursed by insurance or condemnation proceeds; costs in connection with leasing space in the Building, including brokerage commissions; lease concessions, rental abatements and construction allowances granted to specific tenants; costs incurred in connection with the sale, financing or refinancing of the Building; fines, interest and penalties incurred due to the late payment of Taxes or Expenses; organizational expenses associated with the creation and operation of the entity which constitutes Landlord, including, without limitation, Landlord’s general

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant acknowledges that electricity and janitorial services are not to be included within the computation of Expenses hereunder nor subject to any Base Year calculation, rather the entire amount of annual costs and expenses of electricity and janitorial service are to be paid by Tenant separate and apart from Expenses, as provided in Section 7 of the Lease. Further, protective services and/or any monitoring system are not provided by Landlord nor included within the computation of Expenses hereunder nor subject to any Base Year calculation.

Taxes shall include reasonable attorney’s fees, costs, and disbursements incurred in connection with proceedings to contest, determine or reduce Taxes. If it shall not be lawful for Tenant to reimburse Landlord for any increase in Taxes as defined herein, the Base Rent payable to Landlord prior to the imposition of such increases in Taxes shall be increased to net Landlord the same net Base Rent after imposition of such increases in Taxes as would have been received by Landlord prior to the imposition of such increases in Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall be excluded from Taxes: (a) all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal, state and local income taxes, and other taxes applied or measured by Landlord’s general or net income (as opposed to rents, receipts, or income attributable to operations at the Building); (b) any items included as Expenses; (c) resulting from the improvement of any portion of the Building for the sole use of Landlord or other occupants; (d) a penalty fee imposed as a result of Landlord’s failure to pay Taxes when due, except where such failure is due to Tenant’s failure to pay Rent hereunder; and (e) in excess of the amount which would be payable if such Real Property Taxes were paid in installments over the longest permitted term; provided, however, that nothing set forth herein shall restrict Landlord’s right to recover as a part of “Taxes” any tax, fees, levies or impositions charged on or in connection with the use or occupancy of the Building and/or Property or any part thereof, or charged with respect to services or utilities consumed in the use, occupancy or operation of the Building and/or Property, or charged upon or measured by the rent payable under this Lease or in connection with the business of renting space in the Building and/or Property, including, without limitation, any gross income or receipts tax or excise tax levied with respect to the receipt of such rent. If Landlord receives a reduction in Taxes attributable to the Base Year as a result of a commonly called Proposition 8 application (whether for the Base Year or prior tax years), the Taxes for the Base Year and each subsequent lease year shall be calculated as if no Proposition 8 reduction in Taxes was applied for and/or received. Upon good faith request by Tenant, Landlord shall contest taxes.

4. Audit Rights

Within ninety (90) days after receiving Landlord’s statement of Expenses (or, with respect to the Base Year Expenses, within ninety (90) days after receiving Landlord’s initial statement of Expenses for the Base Year) (each such period is referred to as the “Review Notice Period”), Tenant may give Landlord written notice (“Review Notice”) that Tenant intends to review Landlord’s records of the Expenses for the calendar year (or Base Year, as applicable) to which the statement.

Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and fees incurred for the audit, and the fees charged cannot be based in whole or in part on a contingency basis; provided however, if the results of such review, as agreed to by Landlord, show that Landlord has overcharged Tenant for Expenses by more than five percent (5%) for any individual year, then the reasonable out-of-pocket third party costs actually incurred by Tenant for such review shall be paid by Landlord. The records and related information obtained by Tenant shall be treated as confidential. If the results of such review as approved by Landlord show that Tenant has overpaid Expenses for such calendar year, Landlord shall either provide Tenant with a refund or apply any overpayment by Tenant against Additional Rent due or next becoming due, provided if the Term expires before the determination of the overpayment, Landlord shall refund any overpayment to Tenant after first deducting the amount of Rent due. If the results of such review as approved by Landlord show that Tenant has underpaid Expenses and/or Taxes for such calendar year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within thirty (30) days after such review, any underpayment for the applicable calendar year.
