ARTICLE 2
TERM/PREMISES
The Term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date as set
forth in Article 1.A. of the Basic Lease Provisions and shall end on the
Expiration Date set forth in Article 1.A. of the Basic Lease Provisions. For
purposes of this Lease, the term "LEASE YEAR"
shall mean each consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term, with
the first Lease Year commencing on the Commencement Date; however, (a) if the
Commencement Date falls on a day other than the first day of a calendar month,
the first Lease Year shall end on the last day of the eleventh (11th) month
after the Commencement Date and the second (2nd) and each succeeding Lease Year
shall commence on the first day of the next calendar month, and (b) the last
Lease Year shall end on the Expiration Date. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree
and acknowledge that this Lease is hereby made expressly contingent upon
Landlord's successful consummation of a lease termination agreement with the
existing tenant of the Premises. In the event Landlord does not consummate a
lease termination agreement with the existing tenant on or before April 15,
2000, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to
Landlord given at any time prior to the time such termination agreement has been
consummated and written notice thereof has been delivered to Tenant. In
addition, in the event the current tenant has not actually vacated the Premises
on or before May 15, 2000, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease
upon written notice to Landlord given at any time prior to the time such
existing tenant vacates the Premises and Landlord makes possession of the
Premises available to Tenant. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the
Premises to Tenant on or before the anticipated Commencement Date, Landlord
shall not be subject to any liability for its failure to do so, and, except as
set forth above, such failure shall not affect the validity of this Lease nor
the obligations of Tenant hereunder. Landlord and Tenant hereby stipulate that
the Premises contains the number of square feet specified in Article 1.B. of the
Basic Lease Provisions. Within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date,
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a Commencement Letter in a form substantially
similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit "C", accurately stating the
Commencement Date and otherwise completed in accordance with the terms of this
Lease. Within ten (10) days after receipt of the Commencement Letter, Tenant
shall execute and return to Landlord the Commencement Letter after making any
changes necessary to make such letter factually accurate. Failure of Tenant to
timely execute and deliver the Commencement Letter shall constitute
acknowledgment by Tenant that the statements included in such notice in good
faith are true and correct, without exception.
ARTICLE 3
RENTAL
(a) BASIC RENTAL. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord during the Term
hereof, at Landlord's office or to such other person or at such other place as
directed from time to time by written notice to Tenant from Landlord, the
initial monthly and annual sums as set forth in Article 1.C of the Basic Lease
Provisions, payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month, without
demand, setoff or deduction, except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Lease and in the event this Lease commences or the date of expiration of this
Lease occurs other than on the first day or last day of a calendar month, the
rent for such month shall be prorated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first
full month's rent shall be paid to Landlord in accordance with Article 1.J. of
the Basic Lease. On the first day of the first full calendar month after the
Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay a prorated amount of Basic Rental, which
amount shall be prorated based upon the length of time from the Commencement
Date through the last day of the calendar month in which the Commencement Date
occurred.
(b) INCREASE IN DIRECT COSTS. The term "BASE YEAR" means the calendar
year set forth in Article 1.D. of the Basic Lease Provisions. If, in any
calendar year during the Term of this Lease, the "Direct Costs" (as hereinafter
defined) paid or incurred by Landlord shall be higher than the Direct Costs for
the Base Year, Tenant shall pay an additional sum for such and each subsequent
calendar year equal to the product of the amount set forth in Article 1.E. of
the Basic Lease Provisions multiplied by such increased amount of "Direct
Costs." In the event either the Premises and/or the Project is expanded or
reduced, then Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be appropriately adjusted, and
as to the calendar year in which such change occurs, Tenant's Proportionate
Share for such year shall be determined on the basis of the number of days
during that particular calendar year that such Tenant's Proportionate Share was
in effect. In the event this Lease shall terminate on any date other than the
last day of a calendar year, the additional sum payable hereunder by Tenant
during the calendar year in which this Lease terminates shall be prorated on the
basis of the relationship which the number of days which have elapsed from the
commencement of said calendar year to and including said date on which this
Lease terminates bears to three hundred sixty-five (365). Any and all amounts
due and payable by
-2-
Tenant pursuant to Article 3(b),(c) and (d) hereof shall be deemed "ADDITIONAL
RENT" and Landlord shall be entitled to exercise the same rights and remedies
upon default in these payments as Landlord is entitled to exercise with respect
to defaults in monthly Basic Rental payments.
(c) DEFINITIONS. As used herein the term "DIRECT COSTS" shall mean the
sum of the following:
(i) "TAX COSTS", which shall mean any and all real estate taxes and
other similar charges on real property or improvements, assessments, water and
sewer charges, and all other charges assessed, reassessed or levied upon the
Project and appurtenances thereto and the parking or other facilities thereof,
or the real property thereunder (collectively the "REAL PROPERTY") or
attributable thereto or on the rents, issues, profits or income received or
derived therefrom which are assessed, reassessed or levied by the United States,
the State of California or any local government authority or agency or any
political subdivision thereof, and shall include Landlord's reasonable legal
fees, costs and disbursements incurred in connection with proceedings for
reduction of Tax Costs or any part thereof; provided, however, if at any time
after the date of this Lease the methods of taxation now prevailing shall be
altered so that in lieu of or as a supplement to or a substitute for the whole
or any part of any Tax Costs, there shall be assessed, reassessed or levied (a)
a tax, assessment, reassessment, levy, imposition or charge wholly or partially
on the rents, or (b) a tax, assessment, reassessment, levy (including but not
limited to any municipal, state or federal levy), imposition or charge measured
by or based in whole or in part upon the Real Property and imposed upon
Landlord, or (c) a license fee measured by the rent payable under this Lease,
then all such taxes, assessments, reassessments or levies or the part thereof so
measured or based, shall be deemed to be included in the term "Direct Costs." In
no event shall Tax Costs included in Direct Costs for any year subsequent to the
Base Year be less than the amount of Tax Costs included in Direct Costs for the
Base Year (i.e., in the event Tax Costs for any comparison year are lower than
the Base Year Tax Costs, Tenant's Proportionate Share of Tax Costs for such
comparison year shall be zero). In addition, when calculating Tax Costs for the
Base Year, special assessments shall only be deemed included in Tax Costs for
the Base Year to the extent that such special assessments are included in Tax
Costs for the applicable subsequent calendar year during the Term.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3(c)(i),
there shall be excluded from Tax Costs (i) all excess profits taxes, franchise
taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate
taxes, federal and state income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable
to Landlord's general or net income (as opposed to rents or receipts
attributable to operations at the Project), (ii) any items included as Operating
Costs, and (iii) any items paid by Tenant under Article 6 of this Lease.
(ii) "OPERATING COSTS", which shall mean all costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in connection with the maintenance, operation, replacement,
ownership and repair of the Project, the equipment, the intrabuilding network
cable, adjacent walks, malls and landscaped and common areas and the parking
structure, areas and facilities of the Project, including, but not limited to,
salaries, wages, medical, surgical and general welfare benefits and pension
payments, payroll taxes, fringe benefits, employment taxes, workers'
compensation, uniforms and dry cleaning thereof for all persons who perform
duties connected with the operation, maintenance and repair of the Project, its
equipment, the intrabuilding network cable and the adjacent walks and landscaped
areas, including janitorial, gardening, security, parking, operating engineer,
elevator, painting, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, heating, ventilation, air
conditioning, window washing, hired services, a reasonable allowance for
depreciation of the cost of acquiring or the rental expense of personal property
used in the maintenance, operation and repair of the Project, accountant's fees
incurred in the preparation of rent adjustment statements, legal fees, real
estate tax consulting fees, personal property taxes on property used in the
maintenance and operation of the Project, fees, costs, expenses or dues payable
pursuant to the terms of any covenants, conditions or restrictions or owners'
association pertaining to the Project, capital expenditures incurred to effect
economies of operation of, or stability of services to, the Project and capital
expenditures required by government regulations, laws, or ordinances not in
effect as of the Commencement Date (provided that any capital costs shall be
amortized over their useful life in accordance with Landlord's standard
accounting practices); the cost of all charges for electricity, gas, water and
other utilities furnished to the Project, including any taxes thereon; the cost
of all charges for fire and extended coverage, liability and all other insurance
for the Project carried by Landlord (provided, however, that if Landlord does
not carry earthquake insurance for the
-3-
Project during any part of the Base Year, but subsequently obtains earthquake
insurance for the Project during the Lease Term, then from and after the date
upon which Landlord obtains such earthquake insurance and continuing throughout
the period during which Landlord maintains such insurance, Operating Costs for
the Base Year shall be deemed to be increased by the amount of the premium
Landlord reasonably estimates it would have incurred had Landlord maintained
such insurance for the same period of time during the Base Year as such
insurance was maintained by Landlord during such subsequent calendar year); the
cost of all building and cleaning supplies and materials; the cost of all
charges for cleaning, maintenance and service contracts and other services with
independent contractors and administration fees; a property management fee
(which fee may be imputed if Landlord has internalized management or otherwise
acts as its own property manager, but which fees shall be comparable to fees
charged by comparable landlords for comparable services in the vicinity of the
Project) and license, permit and inspection fees relating to the Project. In the
event, during any calendar year, the Project is less than ninety-five percent
(95%) occupied at all times, Operating Costs shall be adjusted to reflect the
Operating Costs of the Project as though ninety-five percent (95%) were occupied
at all times, and the increase or decrease in the sums owed hereunder shall be
based upon such Operating Costs as so adjusted. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Article 3, when calculating Operating Costs for the
Base Year, unless Operating Costs for the applicable subsequent calendar year
include the following items, Operating Costs shall exclude (a) market-wide
labor-rate increases due to extraordinary circumstances including, but not
limited to, boycotts and strikes, (b) utility rate increases due to
extraordinary circumstances including, but not limited to, conservation
surcharges, boycotts, embargoes or other shortages, and (c) amortization of any
capital items including, but not limited to, capital improvements, capital
repairs and capital replacements (including such amortized costs where the
actual improvement, repair or replacement was made in prior years). Similarly,
in calculating Operating Costs for the Base Year, there shall be added, to the
extent Operating Costs for the applicable subsequent year are increased due to
such items, the following extraordinary or non-recurring reductions in Operating
Costs for the Base Year (to the extent applicable), (i) credits, refunds or
rebates related to overpayments in prior years, (ii) "teaser" rates and one-time
discounts, and (iii) delays or deferrals in assessment or billing for property
tax increases due to a change of ownership or improvements occurring or
completed during or prior to the Base Year.
Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, Operating Costs shall
not include (1) the cost of providing any service directly to and paid directly
by any tenant (outside of such tenant's Direct Cost payments); (2) the cost of
any items for which Landlord is reimbursed by insurance proceeds, condemnation
awards, a tenant of the Project, or otherwise to the extent so reimbursed; (3)
any real estate brokerage commissions or other costs incurred in procuring
tenants, or any fee in lieu of commission; (4) depreciation, amortization of
principal and interest on mortgages or ground lease payments (if any); (5) costs
of items considered capital repairs, replacements, improvements and equipment
under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied except as
expressly included in Operating Costs pursuant to the definition above; (6)
costs incurred by Landlord due to the violation by Landlord or any tenant of the
terms and conditions of any lease of space in the Project or any law, code,
regulation, ordinance or the like; (7) Landlord's general corporate overhead and
general and administrative expenses; (8) any compensation paid to clerks,
attendants or other persons in commercial concessions operated by Landlord
(other than in the parking facility for the Project); (9) costs incurred in
connection with upgrading the Project to comply with disability, life, seismic,
fire and safety codes, ordinances, statutes, or other laws in effect prior to
the Commencement Date, including, without limitation, the Americans with
Disabilities Act ("ADA"), including penalties or damages incurred due to such
non-compliance; (10) bad debt expenses and interest, principal, points and fees
on debts (except in connection with the financing of items which may be included
in Operating Costs) or amortization on any ground lease, mortgage or mortgages
or any other debt instrument encumbering the Project (including the land on
which the Project is situated); (11) marketing costs, including leasing
commissions, attorneys' fees in connection with the negotiation and preparation
of letters, deal memos, letters of intent, leases, subleases and/or assignments,
space planning costs, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with
lease, sublease and/or assignment negotiations and transactions with present or
prospective tenants or other occupants of the Project, including attorneys' fees
and other costs and expenditures incurred in connection with disputes with
present or prospective tenants or other occupants of the Project; (12) real
estate brokers' leasing commissions; (13) costs, including permit, license and
inspection costs, incurred with respect to the installation of other tenants' or
occupants' improvements made for tenants or other occupants in the Project or
incurred in renovating or otherwise improving,
-4-
decorating, painting or redecorating vacant space for tenants or other occupants
in the Project; (14) any costs expressly excluded from Operating Costs elsewhere
in this Lease; (15) costs of any items (including, but not limited to, costs
incurred by Landlord for the repair of damage to the Project) to the extent
Landlord receives reimbursement from insurance proceeds or from a third party
(except that any deductible amount under any insurance policy shall be included
within Operating Costs); (16) rentals and other related expenses for leasing an
HVAC system, elevators, or other items (except when needed in connection with
normal repairs and maintenance of the Project) which if purchased, rather than
rented, would constitute a capital improvement not included in Operating Costs
pursuant to this Lease; (17) depreciation, amortization and interest payments,
except as specifically included in Operating Costs pursuant to the terms of this
Lease and except on materials, tools, supplies and vendor-type equipment
purchased by Landlord to enable Landlord to supply services Landlord might
otherwise contract for with a third party, where such depreciation, amortization
and interest payments would otherwise have been included in the charge for such
third party's services, all as determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, consistently applied, and when depreciation or
amortization is permitted or required, the item shall be amortized over its
reasonably anticipated useful life; (18) costs incurred by Landlord for
alterations (including structural additions), repairs, equipment and tools which
are of a capital nature and/or which are considered capital improvements or
replacements under generally accepted accounting principles, consistently
applied, except as specifically included in Operating Costs pursuant to the
terms of this Lease; (19) expenses in connection with services or other benefits
which are not offered to Tenant or for which Tenant is charged for directly but
which are provided to another tenant or occupant of the Project, without charge;
(20) electric power costs or other utility costs for which any tenant directly
contracts with the local public service company (but Landlord shall have the
right to "gross up" as if such space was vacant); (21) costs incurred in
connection with the operation of retail stores selling merchandise and
restaurants in the Project to the extent such costs are in excess of the costs
Landlord reasonably estimates would have been incurred had such space been used
for general office use; (22) costs (including in connection therewith all
attorneys' fees and costs of settlement, judgments and/or payments in lieu
thereof) arising from claims, disputes or potential disputes in connection with
potential or actual claims litigation or arbitrations pertaining to Landlord
and/or the Project, other than such claims or disputes respecting any services
or equipment used in the operation of the Building by Landlord, the cost of
which are included in Operating Costs; (23) costs associated with the operation
of the business of the partnership which constitutes Landlord as the same are
distinguished from the costs of operation of the Project; (24) costs incurred in
connection with the original construction of the Project; (25) costs of
correcting defects in or inadequacy of the initial design or construction of the
Project; (26) costs incurred to (i) comply with laws relating to the removal of
any "Hazardous Material," as that term is defined in Article 28 of this Lease,
which was in existence on the Project prior to the Commencement Date, and was of
such a nature that a federal, state or municipal governmental authority, if it
had then had knowledge of the presence of such Hazardous Material, in the state,
and under the conditions that it then existed on the Project, would have then
required the removal of such Hazardous Material or other remedial or containment
action with respect thereto, and (ii) to remove, remedy, contain, or treat any
Hazardous Material, which Hazardous Material is brought onto the Project after
the date hereof by Landlord or any other tenant of the Project and is of such a
nature, at that time, that a federal, state or municipal governmental authority,
if it had then had knowledge of the presence of such Hazardous Material, in the
state, and under the conditions, that it then exists on the Project, would have
then required the removal of such Hazardous Material or other remedial or
containment action with respect thereto; and (27) costs incurred in connection
with the buying, selling, mortgaging or financing of the Project (provided that
the foregoing shall not apply to any reassessment under Proposition 13); (28)
costs and expenses otherwise includable in Operating Costs to the extent the
same arise from the gross negligence or tortious acts of Landlord or any of
Landlord's agents, employees or contractors; (29) any overhead and/or profit
increment paid to Landlord or to subsidiaries or affiliates or Landlord for
services in the Project to the extent the same exceed the amount which would
generally be expected to be the cost of such services rendered by comparably
qualified unaffiliated third parties; and (30) any item to the extent the costs
thereof has already been included in Direct Costs under another category.
(d) DETERMINATION OF PAYMENT.
(i) If for any calendar year ending or commencing within the
Term, Tenant's Proportionate Share of Direct Costs for such calendar year
exceeds Tenant's Proportionate Share
-5-
of Direct Costs for the Base Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the
manner set forth in Sections 3(d)(ii) and (iii), below, and as additional rent,
an amount equal to the excess (the "EXCESS").
(ii) Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate
statement (the "ESTIMATE STATEMENT") which shall set forth Landlord's reasonable
estimate (the "ESTIMATE") of what the total amount of Direct Costs for the
then-current calendar year shall be and the estimated Excess (the "ESTIMATED
EXCESS") as calculated by comparing Tenant's Proportionate Share of Direct Costs
for such calendar year, which shall be based upon the Estimate, to Tenant's
Proportionate Share of Direct Costs for the Base Year. The failure of Landlord
to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any calendar year shall not
preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Excess
under this Article 3. If pursuant to the Estimate Statement an Estimated Excess
is calculated for the then-current calendar year, Tenant shall pay, with its
next installment of Monthly Basic Rental due, a fraction of the Estimated Excess
for the then-current calendar year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the
last sentence of this Section 3(d)(ii)). Such fraction shall have as its
numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current calendar year
to the month of such payment, both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12)
as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished, Tenant shall
pay monthly, with the Monthly Basic Rental installments, an amount equal to
one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Excess set forth in the previous
Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.
(iii) In addition, Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant
on or before the first day of April following the end of each calendar year, a
statement (the "STATEMENT") which shall state the Direct Costs incurred or
accrued for such preceding calendar year, and which shall indicate the amount,
if any, of the Excess. Upon receipt of the Statement for each calendar year
during the Term, if amounts paid by Tenant as Estimated Excess are less than the
actual Excess as specified on the Statement, Tenant shall pay, with its next
installment of Monthly Basic Rental due, the full amount of the Excess for such
calendar year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such calendar year as
Estimated Excess. If, however, the Statement indicates that amounts paid by
Tenant as Estimated Excess are greater than the actual Excess as specified on
the Statement, such overpayment shall be credited against Tenant's next
installments of Estimated Excess. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the
Statement for any calendar year shall not prejudice Landlord from enforcing its
rights under this Article 3. Even though the Term has expired and Tenant has
vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant's
Proportionate Share of the Direct Costs for the calendar year in which this
Lease terminates, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall immediately pay to
Landlord an amount as calculated pursuant to the provisions of this Article
3(d). In the event the Statement shows that an overpayment has been made,
Landlord will refund such overpayment to Tenant within thirty (30) days after
delivery of the Statement by Landlord. The provisions of this Section 3(d)(iii)
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.
(iv) Within one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of a
Statement by Tenant ("REVIEW PERIOD"), if Tenant disputes the amount set forth
in the Statement, Tenant's employees or an independent certified public
accountant (which accountant is a member of a nationally or regionally
recognized accounting firm and is hired on a non-contingency fee basis),
designated by Tenant, may, after reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable
times, inspect Landlord's records at Landlord's offices, provided that Tenant is
not then in default after expiration of all applicable cure periods of any
obligation under this Lease (including, but not limited to, the payment of the
amount in dispute) and provided further that Tenant and such accountant or
representative shall, and each of them shall use their commercially reasonable
efforts to cause their respective agents and employees to, maintain all
information contained in Landlord's records in strict confidence.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall only have the right to review
Landlord's records one (1) time during any twelve (12) month period. Tenant's
failure to dispute the amounts set forth in any Statement within the Review
Period shall be deemed to be Tenant's approval of such Statement and Tenant,
thereafter, waives the right or ability to dispute the amounts set forth in such
Statement. If after such inspection, but within thirty (30) days after the
Review Period, Tenant notifies Landlord in writing that Tenant still disputes
such amounts, a certification as to the proper amount shall be made in
accordance with Landlord's standard accounting practices, at Tenant's expense,
by an independent certified public accountant selected by Landlord, and
reasonably approved by Tenant, and who is a member of a nationally or regionally
recognized accounting firm, which certification shall be binding upon
-6-
Landlord and Tenant. Landlord shall cooperate in good faith with Tenant and the
accountant to show Tenant and the accountant the information upon which the
certification is to be based. However, if such certification by the accountant
proves that the Direct Costs set forth in the Statement were overstated by more
than five percent (5%), then the cost of both accountants and the cost of such
certification shall be paid for by Landlord, within thirty (30) days after
invoicing by Tenant. Promptly following the parties receipt of such
certification, the parties shall make such appropriate payments or
reimbursements, as the case may be, to each other, as are determined to be owing
pursuant to such certification. Tenant agrees that this section shall be the
sole method to be used by Tenant to dispute the amount of any Direct Costs
payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and Tenant hereby waives
any other rights at law or in equity relating thereto.
(v) If the Project is a party of a multi-building development
those Direct Costs attributable to such development as a whole (and not
attributable solely to any individual building therein) shall be allocated by
Landlord to the Project and to the other buildings within such development on an
equitable and consistent basis.
ARTICLE 4
SECURITY DEPOSIT
Tenant has deposited with Landlord the sum set forth in Article 1.F. of
the Basic Lease Provisions as security for the full and faithful performance of
every provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. If Tenant breaches any
provision of this Lease, including but not limited to the payment of rent,
Landlord may use all or any part of this security deposit for the payment of any
rent or any other sums in default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss
or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's default. If any
portion of said deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within five (5)
days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount
sufficient to restore the security deposit to its original amount. Tenant agrees
that Landlord shall not be required to keep the security deposit in trust,
segregate it or keep it separate from Landlord's general funds but Landlord may
commingle the security deposit with its general funds and Tenant shall not be
entitled to interest on such deposit. At the expiration of the Lease Term, and
provided there exists no default by Tenant hereunder, the security deposit or
any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to
Tenant's assignee), provided that subsequent to the expiration of this Lease,
Landlord may retain from said security deposit (i) an amount reasonably
estimated by Landlord to cover potential Direct Cost reconciliation payments due
with respect to the calendar year in which this Lease terminates or expires
(such amount so retained shall not, in any event, exceed ten percent (10%) of
estimated Direct Cost payments due from Tenant for such calendar year through
the date of expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and any amounts so
retained and not applied to such reconciliation shall be returned to Tenant
within thirty (30) days after Landlord's delivery of the Statement for such
calendar year), (ii) any and all amounts reasonably estimated by Landlord to
cover the anticipated costs to be incurred by Landlord to remove any signage
provided to Tenant under this Lease and to repair any damage caused by such
removal (in which case any excess amount so retained by Landlord shall be
returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such removal and repair), and
(iii) any and all amounts permitted by law or this Article 4. Tenant hereby
waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and all
other provisions of law, now or hereafter in effect, to the extent the same are
inconsistent with Landlord's right to claim those sums specified in this Article
4 above and/or those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any
other loss or damage, foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused by the acts or
omissions of Tenant or any officer, employee, agent, contractor or invitee of
Tenant.
ARTICLE 5
HOLDING OVER
Should Tenant, without Landlord's written consent, hold over after
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall become a tenant from month to month,
only upon each and all of the terms herein provided as may be applicable to a
month to month tenancy and any such holding over shall not constitute an
extension of this Lease. During such holding over, Tenant shall pay in advance,
monthly, Basic Rental at one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the rate in effect
for the
-7-
last month of the Term of this Lease, in addition to, and not in lieu
of, all other payments required to be made by Tenant hereunder including but not
limited to Tenant's Proportionate Share of any increase in Direct Costs. Nothing
contained in this Article 5 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any
holding over of the Premises 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 earlier termination of the Term.
If Landlord notifies Tenant in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the
Lease Expiration Date that Landlord has a signed proposal from a succeeding
tenant to lease the Premises, and if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon
the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend
and hold Landlord harmless from all costs, loss, expense or liability, including
without limitation, claims made by any succeeding tenant and real estate brokers
claims and attorney's fees and costs.
ARTICLE 6
PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES
Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes assessed against or
levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal
property of Tenant located in the Premises. In the event any or all of Tenant's
trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and other personal property shall be
assessed and taxed with property of Landlord, or if the cost or value of any
leasehold improvements in the Premises exceeds the cost or value of a
Project-standard buildout as determined by Landlord and, as a result, real
property taxes for the Project are increased, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its
share of such taxes within ten (10) days after delivery to Tenant by Landlord of
a statement in writing setting forth the amount of such taxes applicable to
Tenant's property or above-standard improvements. Tenant shall assume and pay to
Landlord at the time of paying Basic Rental any excise, sales, use, rent,
occupancy, garage, parking, gross receipts or other taxes (other than net income
taxes) which may be imposed on or on account of letting of the Premises or the
payment of Basic Rental or any other sums due or payable hereunder, and which
Landlord may be required to pay or collect under any law now in effect or
hereafter enacted. Tenant shall pay directly to the party or entity entitled
thereto all business license fees, gross receipts taxes and similar taxes and
impositions which may from time to time be assessed against or levied upon
Tenant, as and when the same become due and before delinquency. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any sums payable by Tenant under this
Article 6 shall not be included in the computation of "Tax Costs."
ARTICLE 7
USE
Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises only for the use set forth in
Article 1.G. of the Basic Lease Provisions and shall not use or occupy the
Premises or permit the same to be used or occupied for any other purpose without
the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in
Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, and Tenant agrees that it will use the
Premises in such a manner so as not to interfere with or infringe the rights of
other tenants in the Project. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense,
promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental regulations
or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be in force relating to or
affecting (i) the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises or the Project
excluding structural changes to the Project not related to Tenant's particular
use of the Premises, and (ii) improvements installed or constructed in the
Premises by or for the benefit of Tenant. Tenant shall not do or permit to be
done anything which would invalidate or increase the cost of any fire and
extended coverage insurance policy covering the Project and/or the property
located therein and Tenant shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations and
requirements of any organization which sets out standards, requirements or
recommendations commonly referred to by major fire insurance underwriters.
Tenant shall promptly upon demand reimburse Landlord for any additional premium
charges for any such insurance policy assessed or increased by reason of
Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this Article. Landlord
represents that Landlord has taken or shall take the necessary steps to comply
with what Landlord reasonably believes are the requirements of ADA in effect as
of the date of this Lease as it pertains to the common areas within the Project.
Operating Costs shall not include any cost incurred by Landlord in connection
with upgrading the Project to comply with the requirements
-8-
of the ADA that are in effect as of the date of this Lease, including penalties
or damages incurred due to such noncompliance.
ARTICLE 8
CONDITION OF PREMISES
The parties acknowledge that until the "Start Date," as the term is
defined in the Tenant Work Letter, the Premises shall be leased to Tenant in its
"as is" condition. Thereafter, the Premises shall be renovated as provided in,
and subject to, the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit "D" and made a
part hereof. The existing leasehold improvements in the Premises as of the date
of this Lease, together with the Improvements (as defined in the Tenant Work
Letter) may be collectively referred to herein as the "TENANT IMPROVEMENTS." The
taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall conclusively establish that
the Premises and the Project were at such time in satisfactory condition;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to relieve Landlord of
any repair obligations otherwise set forth in this Lease. Tenant hereby waives
subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the Civil Code of
California or any successor provision of law.
Landlord reserves the right from time to time, but subject to payment by
and/or reimbursement from Tenant as otherwise provided herein: (i) to install,
use, maintain, repair, replace and relocate for service to the Premises and/or
other parts of the Project pipes, ducts, conduits, wires, appurtenant fixtures,
and mechanical systems, wherever located in the Premises or the Project, (ii) to
alter, close or relocate any facility in the Premises or the Common Areas or
otherwise conduct any of the above activities for the purpose of complying with
a general plan for fire/life safety for the Project or otherwise and (iii) to
comply with any federal, state or local law, rule or order with respect thereto
or the regulation thereof not currently in effect. Landlord shall attempt to
perform any such work with the least inconvenience to Tenant as possible, but in
no event shall Tenant be permitted to withhold or reduce Basic Rental or other
charges due hereunder as a result of same, make any claim for constructive
eviction or otherwise make claim against Landlord for interruption or
interference with Tenant's business and/or operations.
ARTICLE 9
REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS
Landlord shall maintain the structural portions of the Project including
the foundation, floor/ceiling slabs, roof, curtain wall, exterior glass,
columns, beams, shafts, stairs, stairwells, elevator cabs and common areas and
shall also maintain and repair the basic mechanical, electrical, lifesafety,
plumbing, sprinkler systems and heating, ventilating and air-conditioning
systems. Except as expressly provided as Landlord's obligation in this Article
9, Tenant shall keep the Premises in good condition and repair. All damage or
injury to the Premises or the Project resulting from the act or negligence of
Tenant, its employees, agents or visitors, guests, invitees or licensees or by
the use of the Premises shall be promptly repaired by Tenant, at its sole cost
and expense, to the satisfaction of Landlord; provided, however, that for damage
to the Project as a result of casualty or for any repairs that may impact the
mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilation or air-conditioning
systems of the Project, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation)
to select the contractor and oversee all such repairs. Landlord may make any
repairs which are not promptly made by Tenant after Tenant's receipt of written
notice and the reasonable opportunity of Tenant to make said repair within ten
(10) business days from receipt of said written notice, and charge Tenant for
the cost thereof, which cost shall be paid by Tenant within five (5) business
days from invoice from Landlord. Tenant shall be responsible for the design and
function of all non-standard improvements of the Premises, whether or not
installed by Landlord at Tenant's request. Tenant waives all rights to make
repairs at the expense of Landlord, or to deduct the cost thereof from the rent.
Tenant shall make no alterations, changes or additions in or to the Premises
(collectively, "ALTERATIONS") without Landlord's prior written consent, and then
only by contractors or mechanics approved by Landlord in writing and upon the
approval by Landlord in writing of fully detailed and dimensioned plans and
specifications pertaining to the Alterations in question, to be prepared and
submitted by Tenant at its sole cost and expense. Tenant shall at its sole cost
and expense obtain all necessary approvals and permits pertaining to any
Alterations. Tenant shall construct such Alterations in a good and workmanlike
manner, in conformance with all applicable federal, state, county and
-9-
municipal laws, rules and regulations, pursuant to a valid building permit, and
in conformance with Landlord's construction rules and regulations. If Landlord,
in approving any Alterations, specifies a commencement date therefor, Tenant
shall not commence any work with respect to such Alterations prior to such date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant may make
strictly cosmetic changes to the finish work in the Premises (the "COSMETIC
ALTERATIONS") without Landlord's consent, provided that the aggregate cost of
any such alterations does not exceed $75,000.00 in any twelve (12) month period,
and further provided that such alterations do not (i) require any structural or
other substantial modifications to the Premises, (ii) require any changes to,
nor adversely affect, the systems and equipment of the Project, and (iii) affect
the exterior appearance of the Project. Tenant shall give Landlord at least
fifteen (15) days prior notice of such Cosmetic Alterations, which notice shall
be accompanied by reasonably adequate evidence that such changes meet the
criteria contained in this Article 9. Tenant hereby indemnifies, defends and
agrees to hold Landlord free and harmless from all liens and claims of lien, and
all other liability, claims and demands arising out of any work done or material
supplied to the Premises by or at the request of Tenant in connection with any
Alterations. Prior to the commencement of any Alterations, Tenant shall provide
Landlord with evidence that Tenant carries "Builder's All Risk" insurance in an
amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and
such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood
that all such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 14 of
this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, Landlord may, in
its discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some
alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to
ensure the lien free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a
co-obligee. If permitted Alterations are made, they shall be made at Tenant's
sole cost and expense and shall be and become the property of Landlord, except
that Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant given at the time of Tenant's
request for consent to such Alterations (provided Tenant requests that Landlord
make such a determination at the time of Tenant's request for consent), require
Tenant at Tenant's expense to remove all partitions, counters, railings and
other Alterations installed by Tenant, and to repair any damages to the Premises
caused by such removal. Any and all costs attributable to or related to the
applicable building codes of the city in which the Project is located (or any
other authority having jurisdiction over the Project) arising from Tenants
plans, specifications, improvements, alterations or otherwise shall be paid by
Tenant at its sole cost and expense. With regard to repairs, Alterations or any
other work arising from or related to this Article 9, Landlord shall be entitled
to receive an administrative/supervision fee (which fee shall vary depending
upon whether or not Tenant orders the work directly from Landlord, but which fee
shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the cost of such Alterations; provided
that if Tenant hires a construction supervisor reasonably approved by Landlord,
such supervision fee shall be waived) sufficient to compensate Landlord for all
overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses arising from
Landlord's involvement with such work. The construction of initial improvements
to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not
the terms of this Article 9.
ARTICLE 10
LIENS
Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Project free from any mechanics'
liens, vendors liens or any other liens arising out of any work performed,
materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant, and agrees to defend,
indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any such lien or claim or
action thereon, together with costs of suit and reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred by Landlord in connection with any such claim or action. Before
commencing any work of alteration, addition or improvement to the Premises,
Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten (10) business days' written notice of
the proposed commencement of such work (to afford Landlord an opportunity to
post appropriate notices of non-responsibility). In the event that there shall
be recorded against the Premises or the Project or the property of which the
Premises is a part any claim or lien arising out of any such work performed,
materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant and such claim or lien
shall not be removed or discharged within twenty (20) days of filing, Landlord
shall have the right but not the obligation to pay and discharge said lien
without regard to whether such lien shall be lawful or correct or to require
that Tenant deposit with Landlord in cash, lawful money of the United States,
one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount of such claim, which sum may be
retained by Landlord until such claim shall have been removed of record or until
judgment shall have been rendered on such
-10-
claim and such judgment shall have become final, at which time Landlord shall
have the right to apply such deposit in discharge of the judgment on said claim
and any costs, including attorneys' fees and costs incurred by Landlord, and
shall remit the balance thereof to Tenant.
ARTICLE 11
PROJECT SERVICES
(a) Landlord agrees to furnish to the Premises, at a cost to be
included in Operating Costs, from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Mondays through Fridays
and 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays, excepting local and national holidays,
air conditioning and heat all in such reasonable quantities as in the judgment
of Landlord is reasonably necessary for the comfortable occupancy of the
Premises. In addition, Landlord shall provide electric current for normal
lighting and normal office machines, elevator service and water on the same
floor as the Premises for lavatory and drinking purposes in such reasonable
quantities as in the judgment of Landlord is reasonably necessary for general
office use. Janitorial and maintenance services shall be furnished five (5) days
per week, excepting local and national holidays. Tenant shall comply with all
rules and regulations which Landlord may reasonably establish for the proper
functioning and protection of the common area air conditioning, heating,
elevator, electrical intrabuilding network cable and plumbing systems. Except as
provided in Section 11(g) below, Landlord shall not be liable for, and there
shall be no rent abatement as a result of, any stoppage, reduction or
interruption of any such services caused by governmental rules, regulations or
ordinances, riot, strike, labor disputes, breakdowns, accidents, necessary
repairs or other cause. Except as specifically provided in this Article 11,
Tenant agrees to pay for all utilities and other services utilized by Tenant and
additional building services furnished to Tenant not uniformly furnished to all
tenants of the Project at the rate generally charged by Landlord to tenants of
the Project.
(b) Tenant will not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, use
any apparatus or device in the Premises which will in any way increase the
amount of electricity or water usually furnished or supplied for use of the
Premises as general office space; nor connect any apparatus, machine or device
with water pipes or electric current (except through existing electrical outlets
in the Premises), for the purpose of using electric current or water.
(c) If Tenant shall require electric current in excess of that which
Landlord is obligated to furnish under Article 11(a) above, Tenant shall first
obtain the written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may refuse in its sole
and absolute discretion, to the use thereof and Landlord may cause an electric
current meter or submeter to be installed in the Premises to measure the amount
of such excess electric current consumed by Tenant in the Premises. The cost of
any such meter and of installation, maintenance and repair thereof shall be paid
for by Tenant and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, promptly upon demand
therefor by Landlord, for all such excess electric current consumed by any such
use as shown by said meter at the rates charged for such service by the city in
which the Project is located or the local public utility, as the case may be,
furnishing the same, plus any additional expense incurred by Landlord in keeping
account of the electric current so consumed.
(d) If any lights, machines or equipment (including but not limited to
computers) are used by Tenant in the Premises which materially affect the
temperature otherwise maintained by the air conditioning system, or generate
substantially more heat in the Premises than would be generated by the building
standard lights and usual office equipment, Landlord shall have the right to
install any machinery and equipment which Landlord reasonably deems necessary to
restore temperature balance, including but not limited to modifications to the
standard air conditioning equipment, and the cost thereof, including the cost of
installation and any additional cost of operation and maintenance occasioned
thereby, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand by Landlord. Landlord
shall not be liable under any circumstances for loss of or injury to property or
injury to, or interference with, Tenant's business (including, but not limited
to, loss of profits), however occurring, through or in connection with or
incidental to failure to furnish any of the services or utilities specified in
this Article 11.
(e) If Tenant requires heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning
during times other than the times provided in Article 11(a) above, Tenant shall
give Landlord such advance notice as Landlord shall reasonably require and shall
pay Landlord's reasonable and standard charge for such after-hours use.
-11-
(f) Landlord may impose a reasonable charge for any utilities or
services (other than electric current and heating, ventilation and/or air
conditioning which shall be governed by Articles 11(c) and (e) above) utilized
by Tenant in excess of the amount or type that Landlord reasonably determines is
typical for general office use.
(g) An "ABATEMENT EVENT" shall be defined as an event that prevents
Tenant from using the Premises or any portion thereof, as a result of any
failure to provide services or access to the Premises, where (i) Tenant does not
actually use the Premises or such portion thereof, and (ii) such event is not
caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees
or contractors. Tenant shall give Landlord notice ("ABATEMENT NOTICE") of any
such Abatement Event, and if such Abatement Event continues beyond the
"Eligibility Period" (as that term is defined below), then the Basic Rental and
Tenant's Proportionate Share of Direct Costs and Tenant's obligation to pay for
parking shall be abated entirely or reduced, as the case may be, after
expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be
so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or a portion thereof, in
the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant
is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of
the Premises; provided, however, in the event that Tenant is prevented from
using, and does not use, a portion of the Premises for a period of time in
excess of the Eligibility Period and the remaining portion of the Premises is
not sufficient to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its business therein, and
if Tenant does not conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for
such time after expiration of the Eligibility Period during which Tenant is so
prevented from effectively conducting its business therein, the Basic Rental and
Tenant's Proportionate Share of Direct Costs and Tenant's obligation to pay for
parking for the entire Premises shall be abated entirely for such time as Tenant
continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises. If,
however, Tenant reoccupies any portion of the Premises during such period, the
Basic Rental and Tenant's Proportionate Share of Direct Costs allocable to such
reoccupied portion, based on the proportion that the rentable area of such
reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the total rentable area of the
Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date Tenant reoccupies such
portion of the Premises. The term "ELIGIBILITY PERIOD" shall mean a period of
five (5) consecutive business days after Landlord's receipt of any Abatement
Notice(s). Such right to abate Basic Rental and Tenant's Proportionate Share of
Direct Costs shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity for
an Abatement Event.
ARTICLE 12
RIGHTS OF LANDLORD
Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at
all reasonable times for the purpose of cleaning the Premises, examining or
inspecting the same, serving or posting and keeping posted thereon notices as
provided by law, or which Landlord deems necessary for the protection of
Landlord or the Property, showing the same during normal business hours to
prospective tenants, lenders or purchasers of the Project (during the last nine
(9) months of the Term only), in the case of an emergency, and for making such
alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the
Project as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable. If Tenant shall not be
personally present to open and permit an entry into the Premises at any time
when such an entry by Landlord is necessary or permitted hereunder, Landlord may
enter by means of a master key or may enter forcibly, only in the case of an
emergency, without liability to Tenant and without affecting this Lease.
ARTICLE 13
INDEMNITY; EXEMPTION OF LANDLORD FROM LIABILITY
(a) INDEMNITY. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord
harmless from any and all claims arising from Tenant's use of the Premises or
the Project including Tenant's Signage rights set forth in Article 33 or from
the conduct of its business or from any activity, work or thing which may be
permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises or the Project and
shall further indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any
and all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any
obligation on Tenant's part to be performed under this Lease or arising from any
negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant or any of its agents,
contractors, employees or invitees, patrons, customers
-12-
or members in or about the Project and from any and all costs, attorneys' fees
and costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in the defense of any claim or any
action or proceeding brought thereon, including negotiations in connection
therewith. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required
to indemnify and/or hold Landlord harmless from any loss, cost, liability,
damage or expense, including, but not limited to, penalties, fines, attorneys'
fees or costs (collectively, "CLAIMS"), to any person, property or entity to the
extent resulting from the negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord or
its agents, contractors, or employees (except for damage to the Improvements and
Tenant's personal property, fixtures, furniture and equipment in the Premises in
which case Tenant shall be responsible to the extent Tenant is required to
obtain the requisite insurance coverage pursuant to this Lease). Landlord hereby
indemnifies Tenant and holds Tenant harmless from any Claims to the extent
resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents,
contractors or employees; provided, however, that because Landlord maintains
insurance on the Project and Tenant compensates Landlord for such insurance as
part of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Direct Costs and because of the
existence of waivers of subrogation set forth in Article 14 of this Lease,
Landlord hereby indemnifies and holds Tenant harmless from any Claims with
respect to any property outside of the Premises to the extent such Claim is
covered by such insurance, even if resulting from the negligent acts or
omissions of Tenant or those of its agents, contractors, or employees.
Similarly, since Tenant must carry insurance pursuant to Article 14 to cover its
personal property within the Premises and the Improvements, Tenant hereby
indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any Claim with respect to any
property within the Premises, to the extent such Claim is covered by such
insurance, even if resulting from the negligent acts or omissions of Landlord or
those of its agents, contractors, or employees. Tenant hereby assumes all risk
of damage to property or injury to persons in or about the Premises from any
cause, and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord,
excepting where the damage is caused solely by the gross negligence or
intentional misconduct of Landlord.
(b) EXEMPTION OF LANDLORD FROM LIABILITY. Landlord shall not be liable
for injury to Tenant's business, or loss of income therefrom, or, except in
connection with damage or injury resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord, or its authorized agents, for damage that may be
sustained by the person, goods, wares, merchandise or property of Tenant, its
employees, invitees, customers, agents, or contractors, or any other person in,
on or about the Premises directly or indirectly caused by or resulting from
fire, steam, electricity, gas, water, or rain which may leak or flow from or
into any part of the Premises, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or
other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air
conditioning, light fixtures, or mechanical or electrical systems or from
intrabuilding network cable, whether such damage or injury results from
conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the Project or
from other sources or places and regardless of whether the cause of such damage
or injury or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to Tenant. Landlord
shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages arising from any act or neglect of
any other tenant of the building.
Landlord shall not be liable for losses due to theft, vandalism, or
like causes.
ARTICLE 14
INSURANCE
(a) TENANT'S INSURANCE. Tenant, shall at all times during the Term of
this Lease, and at its own cost and expense, procure and continue in force the
following insurance coverage: (i) Commercial General Liability Insurance with a
combined single limit for bodily injury and property damages of not less than
Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence and Three Million Dollars
($3,000,000) in the annual aggregate, including products liability coverage if
applicable, covering the insuring provisions of this Lease and the performance
of Tenant of the indemnity and exemption of Landlord from liability agreements
set forth in Article 13 hereof; (ii) a policy of standard fire, extended
coverage and special extended coverage insurance (all risks), including a
vandalism and malicious mischief endorsement, sprinkler leakage coverage and
earthquake sprinkler leakage where sprinklers are provided in an amount equal to
the full replacement value new without deduction for depreciation of all (A)
Tenant Improvements, Alterations, fixtures and other improvements in the
Premises and (B) trade fixtures, furniture, equipment and other personal
property installed by or at the expense of Tenant; (iii) Worker's Compensation
coverage as required by law; and (iv) business interruption, loss of income and
-13-
extra expense insurance covering failure of Tenant's telecommunications
equipment and covering all other perils, failures or interruptions. Tenant shall
carry and maintain during the entire Lease Term (including any option periods,
if applicable), at Tenant's sole cost and expense, increased amounts of the
insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article 14 and such
other reasonable types of insurance coverage and in such reasonable amounts
covering the Premises and Tenant's operations therein, as may be reasonably
required by Landlord, so long as such increased amounts and/or other types of
insurance coverage are then generally required by comparable landlords of
comparable first-class, institutional quality office buildings in the vicinity
of the Project.
(b) FORM OF POLICIES. The aforementioned minimum limits of policies and
Tenant's procurement and maintenance thereof shall in no event limit the
liability of Tenant hereunder. The Commercial General Liability Insurance policy
shall name Landlord, Landlord's property manager, Landlord's lender(s) and such
other persons or firms as Landlord specifies from time to time, as additional
insureds with an appropriate endorsement to the policy(s). All such insurance
policies carried by Tenant shall be with companies having a rating of not less
than A-VIII in Best's Insurance Guide. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, from
the insurance companies, or cause the insurance companies to furnish,
certificates of coverage. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to
reduction of coverage or cancellation except after thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Landlord by the insurer. All such policies shall be endorsed
to agree that Tenant's policy is primary as to Claims arising within the
Premises and that any insurance carried by Landlord is excess and not
contributing with any Tenant insurance requirement hereunder. Tenant shall, at
least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish
Landlord with renewals or binders. Tenant agrees that if Tenant does not take
out and maintain such insurance or furnish Landlord with renewals or binders,
Landlord may (but shall not be required to), upon prior notice to Tenant and the
expiration of a five (5) day cure period, procure said insurance on Tenant's
behalf and charge Tenant the cost thereof, which amount shall be payable by
Tenant upon demand with interest (at the rate set forth in Section 20(e) below)
from the date such sums are extended. Tenant shall have the right to provide
such insurance coverage pursuant to blanket policies obtained by Tenant,
provided such blanket policies expressly afford coverage to the Premises and to
Tenant as required by this Lease.
(c) LANDLORD'S INSURANCE. Landlord shall, as a cost to be included in
Operating Costs, procure and maintain at all times during the Term of this
Lease, a policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage to the Project
in the amount of the full replacement costs without deduction for depreciation
thereof (exclusive of Tenant's trade fixtures, inventory, personal property and
equipment), providing protection against all perils included within the
classification of fire and extended coverage, vandalism coverage and malicious
mischief, sprinkler leakage, water damage, and special extended coverage on
building. Additionally, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) carry: (i)
Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability Insurance and/or Excess Liability
Coverage Insurance; and (ii) Earthquake and/or Flood Damage Insurance; and (iii)
Rental Income Insurance at its election or if required by its lender from time
to time during the Term hereof, in such amounts and with such limits as Landlord
or its lender may deem appropriate. The costs of such insurance shall be
included in Operating Costs.
(d) WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant each agree to have their
respective insurers issuing the insurance described in Sections 14(a)(ii),
14(a)(iv) and the first sentence of Section 14(c) waive any rights of
subrogation that such companies may have against the other party. Tenant hereby
waives any right that Tenant may have against Landlord and Landlord hereby
waives any right that Landlord may have against Tenant as a result of any loss
or damage to the extent such loss or damage is insurable under such policies.
(e) COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Tenant agrees that it will not, at any time,
during the Term of this Lease, carry any stock of goods or do anything in or
about the Premises that will in any way tend to increase the insurance rates
upon the Project. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord forthwith upon demand the amount
of any increase in premiums for insurance against loss by fire that may be
charged during the Term of this Lease on the amount of insurance to be carried
by Landlord on the Project resulting from the foregoing, or from Tenant doing
any act in or about said Premises that does so increase the insurance rates,
whether or not Landlord shall have consented to such act on the part of Tenant.
If Tenant installs upon the Premises any electrical equipment which constitutes
an overload of electrical lines of the Premises, Tenant shall at its own cost
and expense in accordance with all other Lease provisions, and subject to the
-14-
provisions of Article 9, 10 and 11, hereof, make whatever changes are necessary
to comply with requirements of the insurance underwriters and any governmental
authority having jurisdiction thereover, but nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to constitute Landlord's consent to such overloading. Tenant shall, at
its own expense, comply with all requirements of the insurance authority having
jurisdiction over the Project necessary for the maintenance of reasonable fire
and extended coverage insurance for the Premises, including without limitation
thereto, the installation of fire extinguishers or an automatic dry chemical
extinguishing system.
ARTICLE 15
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Tenant shall have no power to, either voluntarily, involuntarily, by
operation of law or otherwise, sell, assign, transfer or hypothecate this Lease,
or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the Premises or any part
thereof to be used or occupied by anyone other than Tenant or Tenant's employees
without the prior written consent of Landlord which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Tenant may transfer its interest pursuant to this Lease only upon the
following express conditions, which conditions are agreed by Landlord and Tenant
to be reasonable:
(a) That the proposed transferee shall be subject to the prior written
consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld but,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it shall be reasonable for
Landlord to deny such consent if:
(i) The use to be made of the Premises by the proposed
transferee is (a) not generally consistent with the character and nature of all
other tenancies in the Project, or (b) a use which conflicts with any so-called
"exclusive" then in favor of, or for any use which is the same as that stated in
any percentage rent lease to, another tenant of the Project or any other
buildings which are in the same complex as the Project, or (c) a use which would
be prohibited by any other portion of this Lease (including but not limited to
any Rules and Regulations then in effect);
(ii) The financial responsibility of the proposed transferee
is not reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;
(iii) The proposed transferee is either a governmental agency
or instrumentality thereof; or
(iv) 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 transferee is negotiating with Landlord to lease space
in the Project.
(b) Whether or not Landlord consents to any such transfer, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord Landlord's then standard processing fee and reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with the proposed transfer up
to the aggregate sum of $1,500.00;
(c) That the proposed transferee shall execute an agreement pursuant to
which it shall agree to perform faithfully and be bound by all of the terms,
covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements of this Lease applicable to
that portion of the Premises so transferred; and
(d) That an executed duplicate original of said assignment and
assumption agreement or other transfer on a form reasonably approved by
Landlord, shall be delivered to Landlord within five (5) days after the
execution thereof, and that such transfer shall not be binding upon Landlord
until the delivery thereof to Landlord and the execution and delivery of
Landlord's consent thereto. It shall be a condition to Landlord's consent to any
subleasing, assignment or other transfer of part or all of Tenant's interest in
the Premises (hereinafter referred to as a "TRANSFER") that (i) upon Landlord's
consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall pay and continue to pay fifty percent
(50%) of any "Transfer Premium" (defined below), received by Tenant from the
transferee; (ii) any sublessee of part or all of Tenant's interest in the
Premises shall agree that in the event Landlord gives such sublessee notice that
Tenant is in default under this Lease, such sublessee shall thereafter make all
sublease or other payments directly to Landlord, which will be received by
Landlord without any liability whether to honor the sublease or otherwise
(except to credit such payments against sums due under this Lease), and any
sublessee shall agree to attorn
-15-
to Landlord or its successors and assigns at their request should this Lease be
terminated for any reason, except that in no event shall Landlord or its
successors or assigns be obligated to accept such attornment; (iii) any such
Transfer and consent shall be effected on forms supplied by Landlord and/or its
legal counsel; (iv) Landlord may require that Tenant not then be in default
hereunder in any respect; and (v) Tenant or the proposed subtenant or assignee
(collectively, "TRANSFEREE") shall agree to pay Landlord, upon demand, as
additional rent, a sum equal to the additional costs, if any, incurred by
Landlord for maintenance and repair as a result of any change in the nature of
occupancy caused by such subletting or assignment. "TRANSFER PREMIUM" shall mean
all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by a Transferee in
connection with a Transfer in excess of the rent and Additional Rent payable by
Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer and if such Transfer is
less than all of the Premises, the Transfer Premium shall be calculated on a
rentable square foot basis. In any event, the Transfer Premium shall be
calculated after deducting the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for (1)
any changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises paid for by Tenant in
connection with the Transfer, (2) any other out-of-pocket monetary concessions
provided by Tenant to the Transferee, and (3) any brokerage commissions paid for
by Tenant in connection with the Transfer. "Transfer Premium" shall also
include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash
consideration paid by a transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer,
and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant
to the Transferee and any payment in excess of fair market value for assets,
fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to the
Transferee in connection with such Transfer. Any sale, assignment,
hypothecation, transfer or subletting of this Lease which is not in compliance
with the provisions of this Article 15 shall be void and shall, at the option of
Landlord, terminate this Lease. In no event shall the consent by Landlord to an
assignment or subletting be construed as relieving Tenant, any assignee, or
sublessee from obtaining the express written consent of Landlord to any further
assignment or subletting, or as releasing Tenant from any liability or
obligation hereunder whether or not then accrued and Tenant shall continue to be
fully liable therefor. No collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any
person other than Tenant shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this
Article 15 or the acceptance of any assignee or subtenant hereunder, or a
release of Tenant (or of any successor of Tenant or any subtenant).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any
proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed
its consent under this Article 15 or otherwise has breached or acted
unreasonably under this Article 15, their sole remedies shall be a declaratory
judgment, an injunction for the relief sought and/or monetary damages, and
Tenant hereby waives any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 15,
Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty
(30) days after Landlord's receipt of a request for consent to a proposed
Transfer, to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises that is the
subject of the Transfer. If this Lease is so terminated with respect to less
than the entire Premises, the Basic Rental and Tenant's Proportionate Share
shall be prorated based on the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant
as compared to the total number of rentable square feet contained in the
original Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in
full force and effect, and upon the request of either party, the parties shall
execute written confirmation of the same.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article 15, Tenant shall be permitted,
without obtaining Landlord's prior written consent but upon notice to Landlord,
to sublease all or any portion of the Premises to Archive.com. Landlord's right
of recapture and Tenant's obligation to pay any Transfer Premium shall not apply
to Tenant's sublease to Archive.com. For purposes of this Lease, a sublease to a
third party other than Archive.com which sublease commences prior to Tenant's
occupancy of any portion of the Premises pursuant to this Lease, shall be
referred to as the "INITIAL SUBLEASE." In the event Tenant enters into an
Initial Sublease of the Premises, such Initial Sublease shall not trigger the
recapture right set forth above, nor shall the Initial Sublease trigger the
obligation to pay any Transfer Premium to Landlord (so long as such Initial
Sublease is not more than ten percent (10%) higher than the rent which would
have been payable by Archive.com), but the Initial Sublease will be subject to
all other provisions of this Article 15.
-16-
ARTICLE 16
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
Within sixty (60) days after the date Landlord learns of the necessity
for repairs as a result of damage, Landlord shall notify Tenant ("DAMAGE REPAIR
ESTIMATE") of Landlord's estimated assessment of the period of time in which the
repairs will be completed. If the Project is damaged by fire or other insured
casualty and the insurance proceeds have been made available therefor by the
holder or holders of any mortgages or deeds of trust covering the Premises or
the Project, the damage shall be repaired by Landlord to the extent such
insurance proceeds are available therefor and provided the Damage Repair
Estimate indicates that repairs can be completed within one hundred eighty (180)
days after the necessity for repairs as a result of such damage becomes known to
Landlord without the payment of overtime or other premiums, and until such
repairs are completed rent shall be abated in proportion to the part of the
Premises which is unusable by Tenant in the conduct of its business (but there
shall be no abatement of rent by reason of any portion of the Premises being
unusable for a period equal to one (1) day or less). However, if the damage is
due to the fault or neglect of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors,
guests, invitees and the like, there shall be no abatement of rent, unless and
to the extent Landlord receives rental income insurance proceeds. Upon the
occurrence of any damage to the Premises, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to
any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under
Section 14(a)(ii)(A) above; provided, however, that if the cost of repair of
improvements within the Premises by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance
proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant's insurance carrier, as so assigned by
Tenant, such excess costs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to
Landlord's repair of such damage. If, however, the Damage Repair Estimate
indicates that repairs cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days
after the necessity for repairs as a result of such damage becomes known to
Landlord without the payment of overtime or other premiums, Landlord may, at its
option, either (i) make them in a reasonable time and in such event this Lease
shall continue in effect and the rent shall be abated, if at all, in the manner
provided in this Article 16, or (ii) elect not to effect such repairs and
instead terminate this Lease, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination
within sixty (60) days after Landlord learns of the necessity for repairs as a
result of damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant sixty
(60) days to vacate the Premises, and rent shall be abated during such time to
the extent permitted by this Article 16. In addition, Landlord may elect to
terminate this Lease if the Project shall be damaged by fire or other casualty
or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and the damage is not fully
covered, except for deductible amounts, by Landlord's insurance policies.
However, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to
Landlord's termination right as provided above, and the Damage Repair Estimate
indicates that repairs cannot be completed within two hundred ten (210) days
after the necessity for repairs as a result of such damage becomes known to
Landlord without the payment of overtime or other premiums, Tenant may elect,
not later than thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of the Damage Repair
Estimate, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of
the date specified in Tenant's notice. Finally, if the Premises or the Project
is damaged to any substantial extent during the last twelve (12) months of the
Term, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 16 to the
contrary, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving
written notice to Tenant of the exercise of such option within sixty (60) days
after Landlord learns of the necessity for repairs as the result of such damage.
In the event that the Premises or the Project is destroyed or damaged to any
substantial extent during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term and if
such damage shall take longer than sixty (60) days to repair and if such damage
is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant's
employees, licensees, invitees or agents, then notwithstanding anything in this
Article 16 to the contrary, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease
by written notice to Landlord of the exercise of such option within sixty (60)
days after Tenant learns of the necessity for repairs as the result of such
damage. A total destruction of the Project shall automatically terminate this
Lease. Except as provided in this Article 16, there shall be no abatement of
rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference
with Tenant's business or property arising from such damage or destruction or
the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of
the Project or the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment
therein. Tenant understands that Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind
on Tenant's furniture, furnishings, trade fixtures or equipment, and that
Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the
same. Except for proceeds relating to Tenant's furniture, furnishings, trade
fixtures and equipment, Tenant
-17-
acknowledges that Tenant shall have no right to any proceeds of insurance
relating to property damage. With respect to any damage which Landlord is
obligated to repair or elects to repair, Tenant, as a material inducement to
Landlord entering into this Lease, irrevocably waives and releases its rights
under the provisions of Sections 1932 and 1933 of the California Civil Code.
ARTICLE 17
SUBORDINATION
Landlord hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement in favor of Tenant from the
current lender for the Project. This Lease is subject and subordinate to all
ground or underlying leases, mortgages and deeds of trust which affect the
property or the Project, including all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements and extensions thereof; provided, however, if the lessor under any
such lease or the holder or holders of any such mortgage or deed of trust shall
advise Landlord that they desire or require this Lease to be prior and superior
thereto, upon written request of Landlord to Tenant, Tenant agrees to promptly
execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all documents or instruments which
Landlord or such lessor, holder or holders deem necessary or desirable for
purposes thereof. Landlord shall have the right to cause this Lease to be and
become and remain subject and subordinate to any and all ground or underlying
leases, mortgages or deeds of trust which may hereafter be executed covering the
Premises, the Project or the property or any renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof, for the full amount of all
advances made or to be made thereunder and without regard to the time or
character of such advances, together with interest thereon and subject to all
the terms and provisions thereof; provided, however, that Landlord obtains from
the lender or other party in question a written undertaking in favor of Tenant
to the effect that such lender or other party will not disturb Tenant's right of
possession under this Lease if there does not then or thereafter exist an Event
of Default by Tenant under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period. Tenant
agrees, within ten (10) days after Landlord's written request therefor, to
execute, acknowledge and deliver upon request any and all documents or
instruments requested by Landlord or necessary or proper to assure the
subordination of this Lease to any such mortgages, deed of trust, or leasehold
estates. Tenant agrees that in the event any proceedings are brought for the
foreclosure of any mortgage or deed of trust or any deed in lieu thereof, to
attorn to the purchaser or any successors thereto upon any such foreclosure sale
or deed in lieu thereof as so requested to do so by such purchaser and to
recognize such purchaser as the lessor under this Lease; Tenant shall, within
ten (10) days after request execute such further instruments or assurances as
such purchaser may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm such
attornment. Tenant agrees to provide copies of any notices of Landlord's default
under this Lease to any mortgagee or deed of trust beneficiary whose address has
been provided to Tenant and Tenant shall provide such mortgagee or deed of trust
beneficiary a commercially reasonable time after receipt of such notice within
which to cure any such default. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or
future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right
or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the
obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding
or sale.
ARTICLE 18
EMINENT DOMAIN
If the whole of the Premises or the Project or so much thereof as to
render the balance unusable by Tenant shall be taken under power of eminent
domain, or is sold, transferred or conveyed in lieu thereof, this Lease shall
automatically terminate as of the date of such condemnation, or as of the date
possession is taken by the condemning authority, at Landlord's option. No award
for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned, and Tenant hereby assigns
to Landlord any award which may be made in such taking or condemnation, together
with any and all rights of Tenant now or hereafter arising in or to the same or
any part thereof; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to give Landlord any interest in or to require Tenant to assign to
Landlord any award made to Tenant for the taking of personal property and trade
fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant at the expiration of the
Term hereof as provided hereunder or for the interruption of, or damage to,
Tenant's business. In the event of a partial taking described in this Article
18, or a sale, transfer or conveyance in lieu thereof, which does not result in
a termination of this Lease, the rent shall be apportioned
-18-
according to the ratio that the part of the Premises remaining useable by Tenant
bears to the total area of the Premises. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights
it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of the California Code of
Civil Procedure.
ARTICLE 19
DEFAULT
(a) TENANT'S DEFAULT. Each of the following acts or omissions of Tenant
or of any guarantor of Tenant's performance hereunder, or occurrences, shall
constitute an "EVENT OF DEFAULT":
(i) Failure or refusal to pay Basic Rental, Additional Rent or
any other amount to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder within five (5)
business days after notice that the same is due or payable hereunder; said five
(5) business day period shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, the notice
requirements of Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any
similar or successor law;
(ii) Except as set forth in items (i) above and (iii) below,
failure to perform or observe any other covenant or condition of this Lease to
be performed or observed within thirty (30) days following written notice to
Tenant of such failure; however, if the nature of such default is such that the
same cannot be reasonably cured within a thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall
not be deemed to be in default if Tenant diligently commences such cure within
such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure said default.
Such thirty (30) day notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any
required under Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any
similar or successor law; or
(iii) Tenant's failure to observe or perform according to the
provisions of Articles 7, 17 or 25 within five (5) business days after notice
from Landlord; provided that as to Article 7 only, if the nature of such default
is such that the same cannot be reasonably cured within a five (5) business day
period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant diligently
commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to
rectify and cure said default.
(b) LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Lease, Landlord shall be in default in the performance of any
obligation required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease if
Landlord fails to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the
receipt of notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord's failure to
perform; provided, however, if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that
more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall
not be in default under this Lease if it shall commence such performance within
such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursue the same to
completion. Upon any such default by Landlord under this Lease, Tenant may,
except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease to the contrary,
exercise any of its rights provided at law or in equity.
ARTICLE 20
REMEDIES
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Lease as
provided in Article 19 hereof, Landlord may exercise all of its remedies as may
be permitted by law, including but not limited to the remedy provided by Section
1951.4 of the California Civil Code, and including without limitation,
terminating this Lease, reentering the Premises and removing all persons and
property therefrom, which property may be stored by Landlord at a warehouse or
elsewhere at the risk, expense and for the account of Tenant. If Landlord elects
to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant the
aggregate of all amounts permitted by law, including but not limited to (i) the
worth at the time of award of the amount of any unpaid rent which had been
earned at the time of such termination; plus (ii) the worth at the time of award
of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after
termination 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
-19-
other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately
caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which
in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; 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 Article 20(a) 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 items (i) and (ii), above,
the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by allowing interest at the
rate set forth in item (e), below, but in no case greater than the maximum
amount of such interest permitted by law. As used in item (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%).
(b) Nothing in this Article 20 shall be deemed to affect Landlord's
right to indemnification for liability or liabilities arising prior to the
termination of this Lease for personal injuries or property damage under the
indemnification clause or clauses contained in this Lease. (c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, Landlord's re-entry to perform acts
of maintenance or preservation of or in connection with efforts to relet the
Premises or any portion thereof, or the appointment of a receiver upon
Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease shall not
terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises or any portion thereof
and, until Landlord does elect to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect and Landlord may enforce all of Landlord's
rights and remedies hereunder including, without limitation, 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.
(d) All rights, powers and remedies of Landlord hereunder and under any
other agreement now or hereafter in force between Landlord and Tenant shall be
cumulative and not alternative and shall be in addition to all rights, powers
and remedies given to Landlord by law, and the exercise of one or more rights or
remedies shall not impair Landlord's right to exercise any other right or
remedy.
(e) Any amount due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder which is not paid
when due shall bear interest at the lower of twelve percent (12%) per annum or
the maximum lawful rate of interest from the due date until paid, unless
otherwise specifically provided herein, but the payment of such interest shall
not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. In addition to such
interest: (i) if Basic Rental is not paid within ten (10) days after Landlord
delivers notice to Tenant that the same is due, a late charge equal to five
percent (5%) of the amount overdue shall be assessed and shall accrue for each
calendar month or part thereof until such rental, including the late charge, is
paid in full, which late charge Tenant hereby agrees is a reasonable estimate of
the damages Landlord shall suffer as a result of Tenant's late payment and (ii)
an additional charge of $25 shall be assessed for any check given to Landlord by
or on behalf of Tenant which is not honored by the drawee thereof; which damages
include Landlord's additional administrative and other costs associated with
such late payment and unsatisfied checks and the parties agree that it would be
impracticable or extremely difficult to fix Landlord's actual damage in such
event. Such charges for interest and late payments and unsatisfied checks are
separate and cumulative and are in addition to and shall not diminish or
represent a substitute for any or all of Landlord's rights or remedies under any
other provision of this Lease.
ARTICLE 21
TRANSFER OF LANDLORD'S INTEREST
In the event of any transfer or termination of Landlord's interest in
the Premises or the Project by sale, assignment, transfer, foreclosure,
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise whether voluntary or involuntary,
Landlord shall be automatically relieved of any and all obligations and
liabilities on the part of Landlord from and after the date of such transfer or
-20-
termination, including furthermore without limitation, the obligation of
Landlord under Article 4 and California Civil Code 1950.7 above to return the
security deposit, provided said security deposit is transferred to said
transferee. Tenant agrees to attorn to the transferee upon any such transfer and
to recognize such transferee as the lessor under this Lease and Tenant shall,
within ten (10) days after request, execute such further instruments or
assurances as such transferee may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or
confirm such attornment.
ARTICLE 22
BROKER
In connection with this Lease, Tenant warrants and represents that it
has had dealings only with firm(s) set forth in Article 1.H. of the Basic Lease
Provisions and that it knows of no other person or entity who is or might be
entitled to a commission, finder's fee or other like payment in connection
herewith and does hereby indemnify and agree to hold Landlord, its agents,
members, partners, representatives, officers, affiliates, shareholders,
employees, successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all loss,
liability and expenses that Landlord may incur should such warranty and
representation prove incorrect, inaccurate or false.
ARTICLE 23
PARKING
Within one (1) year after the date Archive.com (or the subtenant under
the Initial Sublease of the Premises) vacates the Premises, Tenant shall, by
written notice ("PARKING NOTICE") to Landlord, indicate the number of parking
passes to which Tenant is entitled hereunder and to which Tenant shall commit to
lease for the remainder of the Term of this Lease. If Tenant fails to deliver a
Parking Notice to Landlord within twelve (12) months after the above date,
Tenant shall be deemed to have committed to lease all of the parking passes
specified in Section 1(I) of the Basic Lease Provisions. If Tenant's Parking
Notice indicates that Tenant commits to lease less than the entire number of
parking passes to which Tenant is entitled, any such parking passes which Tenant
does not commit to lease shall be subsequently available to Tenant only if, at
the time Tenant wishes to lease such additional parking passes, Landlord
reasonably determines that such parking passes are then available. Tenant shall
pay to Landlord for automobile parking passes the prevailing rate charged from
time to time at the location of such parking passes. In addition to the rates
described above, Tenant shall be responsible for the full amount of any taxes
imposed by any governmental authority in connection with the renting of such
parking passes by Tenant or the use of the parking facility by Tenant. Tenant
shall have the right, upon prior written notice to Landlord, to convert from the
allotment set forth in Section 1(I) of the Basic Lease Provisions up to one (1)
parking pass per 1,000 usable square feet of the Premises into reserved parking,
and Tenant shall pay the prevailing parking rate charged by Landlord for such
reserved parking (plus any applicable taxes). The reserved parking shall be at a
location in the Project parking facility reasonably designated by Landlord.
Tenant's continued right to use the parking passes is conditioned upon Tenant
abiding by all rules and regulations which are prescribed from time to time for
the orderly operation and use of the parking facility where the parking passes
are located, including any sticker or other identification system established by
Landlord, Tenant's cooperation in seeing that Tenant's employees and visitors
also comply with such rules and regulations, and Tenant not being in default
under this Lease. Landlord specifically reserves the right to change the size,
configuration, design, layout and all other aspects of the Project parking
facility 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, close-off or restrict access to the Project
parking facility for purposes of permitting or facilitating any such
construction, alteration or improvements. Landlord may relocate any reserved
parking spaces rented by Tenant to another location in the Parking project
facility. Landlord may delegate its responsibilities hereunder to a parking
operator or a lessee of the parking facility in which case such parking operator
or lessee shall have all the rights of control attributed hereby to the
Landlord. The parking passes rented by Tenant pursuant to this Article 23 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, except in connection with the Initial Sublease of the
Premises or in connection with a Transfer which is approved by Landlord pursuant
to Article 15.
-21-
Tenant may validate visitor parking by such method or methods as the Landlord
may establish, at the validation rate from time to time generally applicable to
visitor parking.
ARTICLE 24
WAIVER
No waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any provision of this Lease shall be
deemed to be a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach
of the same or any other provision. No provision of this Lease may be waived by
Landlord or Tenant, except by an instrument in writing executed by Landlord and
Tenant. Landlord's consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring
Landlord's consent or approval shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the
obtaining of Landlord's consent to or approval of any subsequent act of Tenant,
whether or not similar to the act so consented to or approved. No act or thing
done by Landlord or Landlord's agents during the Term of this Lease shall be
deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept
such surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. 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. Any payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of
an amount less than the total amount then due hereunder shall be deemed to be in
partial payment only thereof and not a waiver of the balance due or an accord
and satisfaction, notwithstanding any statement or endorsement to the contrary
on any check or any other instrument delivered concurrently therewith or in
reference thereto. Accordingly, Landlord may accept any such amount and
negotiate any such check without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover all
balances due and owing and to pursue its other rights against Tenant under this
Lease, regardless of whether Landlord makes any notation on such instrument of
payment or otherwise notifies Tenant that such acceptance or negotiation is
without prejudice to Landlord's rights.
ARTICLE 25
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
Tenant shall, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than ten
(10) days' prior written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver
to Landlord a statement in writing certifying the following information, (but
not limited to the following information in the event further information is
requested by Landlord): (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying
that this Lease, as modified, is in full force and effect); (ii) the dates to
which the rental and other charges are paid in advance, if any; (iii) the amount
of Tenant's security deposit, if any; and (iv) acknowledging that there are not,
to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder,
and no events or conditions then in existence which, with the passage of time or
notice or both, would constitute a default on the part of Landlord hereunder, or
specifying such defaults, events or conditions, if any are claimed. It is
expressly understood and agreed that any such statement may be relied upon by
any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Real
Property. Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall
constitute an admission by Tenant that all statements contained therein are true
and correct. In connection with a proposed Transfer, corporate financing or
corporate reorganization by Tenant, Landlord agrees to, within twenty (20) days
after written request from Tenant, execute and deliver to Tenant a statement in
writing prepared by Tenant and edited by Landlord as reasonably necessary,
stating (i) that the Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if
there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as
modified and specifying such modifications), (ii) the dates to which Tenant has
paid Rent, adjustments to Rent, and other charges paid by Tenant in advance, if
any, and (iii) whether or not, to the best of Landlord's knowledge, Tenant is in
default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in
the Lease or whether there are events or conditions in existence which, with the
passage of time or notice or both, would constitute a default by Tenant
hereunder, and, if so, specifying each such default of which Landlord may have
knowledge.
-22-
ARTICLE 26
LIABILITY OF LANDLORD
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, any remedy of
Tenant for the collection of a judgment (or other judicial process) requiring
the payment of money by Landlord in the event of any default by Landlord
hereunder or any claim, cause of action or obligation, contractual, statutory or
otherwise by Tenant against Landlord concerning, arising out of or relating to
any matter relating to this Lease and all of the covenants and conditions or any
obligations, contractual, statutory, or otherwise set forth herein, shall be
limited solely and exclusively to an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i)
the interest of Landlord in and to the Project, and (ii) the interest Landlord
would have in the Project if the Project were encumbered by third party debt in
an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the then current value of the
Project. No other property or assets of Landlord, or any member, officer,
director, shareholder, partner, trustee, agent, servant or employee of Landlord
(the "REPRESENTATIVE") shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement
procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant's remedies under or with respect to
this Lease, Landlord's obligations to Tenant, whether contractual, statutory or
otherwise, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant hereunder, or Tenant's use or
occupancy of the Premises. Tenant further understands that any liability, duty
or obligation of Landlord to Tenant, shall automatically cease and terminate as
of the date that Landlord or any of Landlord's Representatives no longer have
any right, title or interest in or to the Project. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Lease, Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances
for injury or damage to, or interference with, Tenant's business, including but
not limited to, loss of profits, loss of rents or other revenues, loss of
business opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss of use, in each case, however
occurring.
ARTICLE 27
INABILITY TO PERFORM
This Lease and the obligations of both parties hereunder shall not be
affected or impaired because such party is unable to fulfill any of its
obligations hereunder or is delayed in doing so, if such inability or delay is
caused by reason of any prevention, delay, stoppage due to strikes, lockouts,
acts of God, or any other cause previously, or at such time, beyond the
reasonable control or anticipation of such party (collectively, a "FORCE
MAJEURE") and both parties' obligations under this Lease shall be forgiven and
suspended by any such Force Majeure; provided, however, that this Article 27 is
not intended to, and shall not, extend the time period for the payment of any
monetary amounts due (including, without limitation, rent payments from Tenant)
from either party to the other under this Lease nor relieve either party from
their monetary obligations to the other under this Lease.
ARTICLE 28
HAZARDOUS WASTE
(a) Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material (as defined
in Article 28(c) below) to be brought, kept or used in or about the Project by
Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, or invitees. Tenant indemnifies
Landlord from and against any breach by Tenant of the obligations stated in the
preceding sentence, and agrees to defend and hold Landlord harmless from and
against any and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs,
liabilities, or losses (including, without limitation, diminution in value of
the Project, damages for the loss or restriction or use of rentable or usable
space or of any amenity of the Project, damages arising from any adverse impact
or marketing of space in the Project, and sums paid in settlement of claims,
attorneys' fees and costs, consultant fees, and expert fees) which arise during
or after the Term of this Lease as a result of such breach. This indemnification
of Landlord by Tenant includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection
with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal, or
restoration work required by any federal, state, or local governmental agency or
political subdivision because of Hazardous Material present in the soil or
ground water on or under the Project. Without limiting the foregoing, if the
presence of any Hazardous Material on the Project caused or permitted by Tenant
results in any contamination of the Project and subject to the provisions of
Articles 9, 10 and 11, hereof, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at its
sole expense as are necessary to
-23-
return the Project to the condition existing prior to the introduction of any
such Hazardous Material and the contractors to be used by Tenant for such work
must be approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld
so long as such actions would not potentially have any material adverse
long-term or short-term effect on the Project and so long as such actions do not
materially interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Project by the other
tenants thereof.
(b) It shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent
to any proposed Transfer if (i) the proposed transferee's anticipated use of the
Premises involves the generation, storage, use, treatment, or disposal of
Hazardous Material; (ii) the proposed Transferee has been required by any prior
landlord, lender, or governmental authority to take remedial action in
connection with Hazardous Material contaminating a property if the contamination
resulted from such Transferee's actions or use of the property in question; or
(iii) the proposed Transferee is subject to an enforcement order issued by any
governmental authority in connection with the use, disposal, or storage of a
Hazardous Material.

ss. 6903), or (x) defined as a "Hazardous Substance" pursuant to Section 101 of
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42

contrary contained herein, the term "Hazardous Materials" shall not be deemed to
include (A) general office supplies typically used in the ordinary course of
business (e.g., copier toner, liquid paper, glue, ink, and cleaning solvents) or

within the Project parking facility, so long as in each case of (A) and (B)
above, such materials are incidental to Tenant's use of the Premises for the
Permitted Use and are used in compliance with all applicable Laws.
(d) As used herein, the term "LAWS" mean any applicable federal, state
or local laws, ordinances, or regulations relating to any Hazardous Material
affecting the Project, including, without limitation, the laws, ordinances, and

SURRENDER OF PREMISES; REMOVAL OF PROPERTY
(a) The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant to
Landlord, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and shall at
the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to it of any or all subleases
or subtenancies affecting the Premises.
(b) Upon the expiration of the Term of this Lease, or upon any earlier
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender possession of the

provided in this Lease, shall be considered abandoned and Landlord may remove
any or all of such items and dispose of the same in any manner or store the same
in a public warehouse or elsewhere for the account and at the expense and risk
of Tenant, and if Tenant shall fail to pay the cost of storing any such property
after it has been stored for a period of ninety (90) days or more, Landlord may
sell any or all of such property at public or private sale, in such manner and
at such times and places as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may deem proper,

such charges or the removal of any such property, and shall apply the proceeds

all required approvals of Landlord pursuant to this Lease.

hereto and/or their respective successors and assigns, shall be brought, heard
and adjudicated by the courts of the State of California, with venue in the

that the laws and courts of California were freely and voluntarily chosen to

standard of consent or approval specifically set forth in this Lease (other than
a reasonableness standard), and except for matters which could affect (i) the
systems and equipment of the Project; (ii) structural aspects of the Project or
(iii) the exterior appearance of the Project, in which case Landlord shall have
the right to act in its sole and absolute discretion (but at all times in good
faith), any time the consent or approval of Landlord or Tenant is required under
this Lease, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.

mutually acceptable license agreement. The rent payable by Tenant for such
rooftop communication equipment shall be the prevailing rate charged by Apex for
such communication equipment.
ARTICLE 31
DIRECTORY
Provided Tenant is not in default hereunder, Tenant, at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, shall have the right to ten (10) lines in the lobby directory
during the Lease Term.
ARTICLE 32
OPTION TO EXTEND
(a) OPTION RIGHT. Landlord hereby grants the Tenant named in this Lease
(the "ORIGINAL TENANT") two (2) options (each, an "OPTION") to extend the Lease
Term for the entire Premises for a period of five (5) years each (each, an
"OPTION TERM"), which option shall be exercisable only by written notice
delivered by Tenant to Landlord set forth below. The second Option shall be
exercisable only in the event Tenant has exercised the first Option pursuant to
this Article 32. The rights contained in this Article 32 shall be personal to
the Original Tenant and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant (and not
any assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant's interest in
this Lease) if the Original Tenant occupies the entire Premises as of the date
of Tenant's Acceptance (as defined in Section 32(c) below).
(b) OPTION RENT. The rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term
("OPTION RENT") shall be equal to the "Market Rent" (defined below), but in no
event shall the Option Rent
-28-
be less than Tenant is paying under the Lease on the month immediately preceding
the applicable Option Term for monthly Basic Rental, including all escalations,
Direct Costs, additional rent and other charges. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event Tenant exercises the first Option to extend granted pursuant to
this Article 32, and also exercises Tenant's option to extend for all of the
premises currently leased by Tenant from Landlord's affiliate at 400 Corporate
Pointe, which space consists of approximately 48,202 rentable square feet, the
rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term shall be equal to ninety-five
percent (95%) of the Market Rent; provided that, as to the second Option,
regardless of whether Tenant exercises its Option to extend its lease of space
at 400 Corporate Pointe, the rent payable during the second Option Term shall be
one hundred percent (100%) of the Market Rent. "MARKET RENT" shall mean the
applicable Monthly Basic Rental, including all escalations, Direct Costs,
additional rent and other charges at which tenants, as of the time of Landlord's
"Option Rent Notice" (as defined below), are entering into leases with
comparable landlords of comparable buildings in the vicinity of the Project for
non-sublease, non-equity (i.e., not being offered equity in the building),
non-expansion, and non-affiliated tenants for comparable space, for a comparable
use, and for a comparable term, with the determination of Market Rent to take
into account all relevant factors, including, without limitation, the following
to the extent applicable: (i) rental abatement (exclusive of construction
periods), (ii) lease takeovers/ assumptions by the landlord, (iii)
relocation/moving allowances, (iv) tenant improvement allowances, and (v) any
other concessions or inducements.
(c) EXERCISE OF OPTION. The Options shall be exercised by Tenant only
in the following manner: (i) Tenant shall not be in default, and shall not have
been in default under this Lease more than once, on the delivery date of the
Interest Notice and Tenant's Acceptance; (ii) Tenant shall deliver written
notice ("INTEREST NOTICE") to Landlord not more than fifteen (15) months nor
less than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the Lease Term (or the
first Option Term, as applicable), stating that Tenant is interested in
exercising the Option, (iii) within fifteen (15) business days of Landlord's
receipt of Tenant's written notice, Landlord shall deliver notice ("OPTION RENT
NOTICE") to Tenant setting forth the Option Rent; and (iv) if Tenant desires to
exercise such Option, Tenant shall provide Landlord written notice within five
(5) business days after receipt of the Option Rent Notice ("TENANT'S
ACCEPTANCE") and upon, and concurrent with such exercise, Tenant may, at its
option, object to the Option Rent contained in the Option Rent Notice. Tenant's
failure to deliver the Interest Notice or Tenant's Acceptance on or before the
dates specified above shall be deemed to constitute Tenant's election not to
exercise the Option. If Tenant timely and properly exercises its Option, the
Lease Term (or the first Option Term, as applicable) shall be extended for the
Option Term upon all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, except
that the rent for the Option Term shall be as indicated in the Option Rent
Notice unless Tenant, concurrently with Tenant's Acceptance, objects to the
Option Rent contained in the Option Rent Notice, in which case the parties shall
follow the procedure and the Option Rent shall be determined, as set forth in
Section 32(d) below.
(d) DETERMINATION OF MARKET RENT. If Tenant timely and appropriately
objects to the Market Rent in Tenant's Acceptance, Landlord and Tenant shall
attempt to agree upon the Market Rent using their best good-faith efforts. If
Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within twenty-one (21) days
following Tenant's Acceptance ("OUTSIDE AGREEMENT Date"), then each party shall
make a separate determination of the Market Rent which shall be submitted to
each other and to arbitration in accordance with the following items (i) through
(vii):
(i) Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint, within ten (10)
days of the Outside Agreement Date, one arbitrator who shall by profession be a
current real estate broker or appraiser of commercial high-rise properties in
the immediate vicinity of the Project, and who has been active in such field
over the last five (5) years. The determination of the arbitrators shall be
limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Market
Rent is the closest to the actual Market Rent as determined by the arbitrators,
taking into account the requirements of item (b), above.
(ii) The two arbitrators so appointed shall within five (5)
business days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator
agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same
criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two arbitrators.
(iii) The three arbitrators shall within fifteen (15) days of
the appointment of the third arbitrator reach a decision as to whether the
parties shall use Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Market Rent, and shall notify
Landlord and Tenant thereof.
-29-
(iv) The decision of the majority of the three arbitrators
shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
(v) If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an
arbitrator within ten (10) days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date, the
arbitrator appointed by one of them shall reach a decision, notify Landlord and
Tenant thereof, and such arbitrator's decision shall be binding upon Landlord
and Tenant.
(vi) 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 arbitration under the
provisions of the American Arbitration Association, but subject to the
instruction set forth in this item (d).
(vii) The cost of arbitration shall be paid by Landlord and
Tenant equally.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Lease, consisting of
the foregoing provisions and Articles, including all exhibits and other
attachments referenced therein, as of the date first above written.

noticeable vibration to any other part of the Project. Prior to bringing any
heavy safes, vaults, large computers or similarly heavy equipment into the
Project, Tenant shall inform Landlord in writing of the dimensions and weights
thereof and shall obtain Landlord's consent thereto. Such consent shall not
constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord that the safe, vault or
other equipment complies, with regard to distribution of weight and/or
vibration, with the provisions of this Rule 6 nor relieve Tenant from
responsibility for the consequences of such noncompliance, and any such safe,
vault or other equipment which Landlord determines to constitute a danger of

TENANT WORK LETTER
This Tenant Work Letter shall set forth the terms and conditions
relating to the renovation of the tenant improvements in the Premises. This
Tenant Work Letter is essentially organized chronologically and addresses the
issues of the renovation of the Premises, in sequence, as such issues will
arise.
SECTION 1
LANDLORD'S INITIAL CONSTRUCTION IN THE PREMISES
Landlord has constructed, at its sole cost and expense, the base, shell
and core (i) of the Premises, and (ii) of the floor of the Project on which the
Premises is located (collectively, the "BASE, SHELL AND CORE"). Tenant has
inspected and hereby approves the condition of the Base, Shell and Core, and
agrees that the Base, Shell and Core shall be delivered to Tenant in its current
"as-is" condition. The improvements to be initially installed in the Premises
shall be designed and constructed pursuant to this Tenant Work Letter.
SECTION 2
IMPROVEMENTS
2.1 IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE. Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time
improvement allowance (the "IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE ") in the amount of
$444,120.00 (based upon $20.00 per usable square foot of the Premises) for the
costs relating to the initial design and construction of Tenant's improvements
which are permanently affixed to the Premises (the "IMPROVEMENTS"). In no event
shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements pursuant to this Tenant Work
Letter in a total amount which exceeds the Improvement Allowance and in no event
shall Tenant be entitled to any credit for any unused portion of the Improvement
Allowance not used by Tenant by the date which is (i) the last day of the
calendar month which is thirty-six (36) full calendar months after the
Commencement Date, in the event Tenant enters into a sublease with Archive.com
or another Initial Sublease, or (ii) one (1) year after the Commencement Date in
the event Archive.com does not enter into a sublease for the Premises and there
is no other Initial Sublease.
2.2 DISBURSEMENT OF THE IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE. Except as otherwise set
forth in this Tenant Work Letter, the Improvement Allowance shall be disbursed
by Landlord (each of which disbursements shall be made pursuant to Landlord's
disbursement process provided below) for costs related to the construction of
the Improvements and for the following items and costs (collectively, the
"IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE ITEMS "): (i) payment of the fees of the "Architect" and
the "Engineers," as those terms are defined in Section 3.1 of this Tenant Work
Letter and of other engineers and consultants which Tenant may reasonably
require for the design and construction of the Improvements (including, without
limitation, lighting, acoustic and ergonomic consultants), and payment of the
out of pocket fees incurred by, and the out of pocket cost of documents and
materials supplied by, Landlord and Landlord's consultants in connection with
the preparation and review of the "Construction Drawings," as that term is
defined in Section 3.1 of this Tenant Work Letter; (ii) the cost of plan check,
permit, license fees and construction supervision fees relating to the
construction of the Improvements; (iii) the cost of construction of the
Improvements, including, without limitation, testing and inspection costs, trash
removal costs, and contractors' fees and general conditions (provided, however,
the Contractor and any subcontractors shall not be charged for parking); (iv)
the cost of any changes in the Base, Shell and Core required by the Construction
Drawings; (v) the cost of any changes to the Construction Drawings or
Improvements required by applicable building codes (the "CODE "); (vi) the fees
of any project manager retained by Tenant to supervise the construction of the
Improvements; and (vii) the "Landlord Coordination Fee", as that term is defined
in Section 4.3 of this Tenant Work Letter. However, in no event shall more than
Three and 00/100 Dollars ($3.00) per usable square foot of the Improvement
Allowance be used for the items described in (i) and (ii) above; any additional
amount incurred as a result of (i) and (ii) above shall be deemed to constitute
an Over-Allowance Amount. During the construction of the Improvements, Landlord
shall make monthly disbursements of the Improvement Allowance for Improvement
Allowance Items for the benefit of Tenant and shall authorize the release of
monies for the benefit of Tenant as follows.
2.2.1 MONTHLY DISBURSEMENTS. On or before the first day of each
calendar month during the construction of the Improvements (or such other date
as Landlord may designate), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord: (i) a request for
payment of the "Contractor," as that term is defined in Section 4.1 of this
Tenant Work Letter, approved by Tenant, in a form to be provided by Landlord,
showing the schedule, by trade, of percentage of completion of the Improvements
in the Premises, detailing the portion of the work completed and the portion not
completed; (ii) invoices from all of "Tenant's Agents," as that term is defined
in Section 4.2 of this Tenant Work Letter, for labor rendered and materials
delivered to the Premises; (iii) executed mechanic's lien releases from all of
Tenant's Agents which shall comply with the appropriate provisions, as
reasonably determined by Landlord, of California Civil Code Section 3262(d); and
(iv) all other information reasonably requested by Landlord. Tenant's request
for payment shall be deemed Tenant's acceptance and approval of the work
furnished and/or the materials supplied as set forth in Tenant's payment
request. Thereafter, Landlord shall deliver a check to Tenant in payment of the
lesser of: (A) the amounts so requested by Tenant, as set forth in this Section
2.2.1, above, less a ten percent (10%) retention (the aggregate amount of such
retentions to be known as the "FINAL RETENTION"), and (B) the balance of any
remaining available portion of the Improvement Allowance (not including the
Final Retention), provided that Landlord does not dispute any request for
payment based on non-compliance of any work with the "Approved Working
Drawings," as that term is defined in Section 3.4 below, or due to any
substandard work, or for any other reason. Landlord's payment of such amounts
shall not be deemed Landlord's approval or acceptance of the work furnished or
materials supplied as set forth in Tenant's payment request.
2.2.2 FINAL RETENTION. Subject to the provisions of this Tenant
Work Letter, a check for the Final Retention payable to Tenant shall be
delivered by Landlord to Tenant following the completion of construction of the
Premises, provided that (i) Tenant delivers to Landlord properly executed
mechanics lien releases in compliance with both California Civil Code Section
3262(d)(2) and either Section 3262(d)(3) or Section 3262(d)(4), (ii) Landlord
has determined that no substandard work exists which adversely affects the
mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning,
life-safety or other systems of the Project, the curtain wall of the Project,
the structure or exterior appearance of the Project, or any other tenant's use
of such other tenant's leased premises in the Project and (iii) Architect
delivers to Landlord a certificate, in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord,
certifying that the construction of the Improvements in the Premises has been
substantially completed.
2.2.3 OTHER TERMS. Landlord shall only be obligated to make
disbursements from the Improvement Allowance to the extent costs are incurred by
Tenant for Improvement Allowance Items. All Improvement Allowance Items for
which the Improvement Allowance has been made available shall be deemed
Landlord's property.
2.3 STANDARD IMPROVEMENT PACKAGE. Landlord has established
specifications (the "SPECIFICATIONS ") for the Project standard components to be
used in the construction of the Improvements in the Premises (collectively, the
"STANDARD IMPROVEMENT PACKAGE "), which Specifications are available upon
request. The quality of Improvements shall be equal to or of greater quality
than the quality of the Specifications, provided that Landlord may, at
Landlord's option, require the Improvements to comply with certain
Specifications.
SECTION 3
CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS
3.1 SELECTION OF ARCHITECT/CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS. Tenant shall retain an
architect/space planner reasonably approved by Landlord (the "ARCHITECT ") to
prepare the "Construction Drawings," as that term is defined in this Section
3.1. Tenant shall also retain the engineering consultants designated by Landlord
(the "ENGINEERS ") to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings
relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and
lifesafety work of the Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall ensure that the
charges of the Engineers are competitive (although not necessarily the lowest
available). The plans and drawings to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers
hereunder shall be known collectively as the "CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS ." All
Construction Drawings shall comply with the drawing
-2-
format and specifications as reasonably determined by Landlord, and shall be
subject to Landlord's reasonable approval. Tenant and Architect shall verify, in
the field, the dimensions and conditions as shown on the relevant portions of
the base building plans, and Tenant and Architect shall be solely responsible
for the same, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith.
Landlord's review of the Construction Drawings as set forth in this Section 3,
shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord's review of the same,
or obligate Landlord to review the same, for quality, design, Code compliance or
other like matters. Accordingly, notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings
are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers and
consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered
to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord's space planner, architect, engineers, and
consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith
and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the
Construction Drawings.
3.2 FINAL SPACE PLAN. Tenant and the Architect shall prepare the final
space plan for Improvements in the Premises (collectively, the "FINAL SPACE
PLAN"), which Final Space Plan shall include a layout and designation of all
offices, rooms and other partitioning, their intended use, and equipment to be
contained therein, and shall deliver the Final Space Plan to Landlord for
Landlord's approval. Landlord shall advise Tenant within five (5) business days
after Landlord's receipt of the Final Space Plan for the Premises if the same is
unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect and Landlord's failure to give
Tenant written notice of any such objection within said five (5) business-day
period shall be deemed approval by Landlord of the Final Space Plan. If Landlord
notifies Tenant that the Final Space Plan is deficient in any respect, Tenant
shall within three (3) business days thereafter cause the Final Space Plan to be
revised to correct any deficiencies or other matters Landlord may reasonably
require.
3.3 FINAL WORKING DRAWINGS. After Landlord approves the Final Space
Plan, Tenant, the Architect and the Engineers shall complete the architectural
and engineering drawings for the Premises, and the final architectural working
drawings in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work
and to obtain all applicable permits (collectively, the "FINAL WORKING DRAWINGS
") and shall submit the same to Landlord for Landlord's approval. However, if
Tenant reasonably determines that the Engineers are not reasonably responsive to
Tenant's requirements, Tenant may so notify Landlord in writing and if Landlord
does not cause such Engineers to be so responsive within one (1) business day
after receipt of Tenant's notice, then the thirty (30) day period set forth
above shall be extended for each day after the expiration of said one (1)
business day cure period that completion of the Final Working Drawings are so
delayed as a result of the failure of the Engineers to be reasonably responsive.
Landlord shall advise Tenant within five (5) business days after Landlord's
receipt of the Final Working Drawings for the Premises if the same is
unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect and Landlord's failure to give
Tenant written notice of any such objection within said five (5) business-day
period shall be deemed approval by Landlord of the Final Working Drawings. If
Landlord notifies Tenant that the Final Working Drawings are deficient in any
respect, Tenant shall within five (5) business days thereafter revise the Final
Working Drawings in accordance with such review and any disapproval of Landlord
in connection therewith.
3.4 PERMITS. The Final Working Drawings shall be approved by Landlord
(the "APPROVED WORKING DRAWINGS ") prior to the commencement of the construction
of the Improvements. Tenant shall cause the Architect to immediately submit the
Approved Working Drawings to the appropriate municipal authorities for all
applicable building permits necessary to allow "Contractor," as that term is
defined in Section 4.1, below, to commence and fully complete the construction
of the Improvements (the "PERMITS "). No changes, modifications or alterations
in the Approved Working Drawings may be made without the prior written consent
of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
SECTION 4
CONSTRUCTION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS
4.1 CONTRACTOR. The contractor which shall construct the Improvements
shall be a contractor selected pursuant to the following procedure. The Final
Working Drawings shall be submitted by Tenant to three (3) general contractors:
one (1) such general contractor shall be selected by Landlord and the other two
(2) general contractors shall be selected by Tenant on or before the date the
Final Working Drawings are approved by Landlord and Tenant and which contractor
so selected by Tenant shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval. Each
such
-3-
contractor shall submit a sealed, fixed price contract bid (on such bid form as
Landlord shall designate) to construct the Improvements. Each contractor shall
be notified in the bid package of the time schedule for construction of the
Improvements. The subcontractors utilized by the Contractor shall be subject to
Landlord's reasonable approval and the bidding instructions shall provide that
as to work affecting the structure of the Project and/or the systems and
equipment of the Project, Landlord shall be entitled to designate the
subcontractors. The bids shall be submitted promptly to Tenant and a
reconciliation shall be performed by Tenant to adjust inconsistent or incorrect
assumptions so that a like-kind comparison can be made and a low bidder
determined. Tenant shall select the contractor who shall be the lowest bidder
and who states that it will be able to meet Tenant's reasonable construction
schedule. The contractor selected may be referred to herein as the "CONTRACTOR".
4.2 TENANT'S AGENTS. All subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and
suppliers used by the Tenant (such subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and
suppliers, and the Contractor to be known collectively as "TENANT'S AGENTS")
must be approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Landlord does not approve any of the
Tenant's proposed subcontractors, laborers, materialmen or suppliers, the Tenant
shall submit other proposed subcontractors, laborers, materialmen or suppliers
for Landlord's written approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tenant shall
be required to utilize subcontractors designated by Landlord for any mechanical,
electrical, plumbing, life-safety, sprinkler, structural and air-balancing work.
4.3 CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS BY CONTRACTOR. The Tenant shall
independently retain, in accordance with Section 4.1 above, Contractor to
construct the Improvements in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings. The
Tenant shall pay a logistical coordination fee (the "LANDLORD COORDINATION FEE
") to Landlord in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the total amount of
the construction contract and general conditions between the Tenant and the
Contractor. The Landlord Coordination Fee shall be waived in the event Tenant
hires a construction manager reasonably approved by Landlord.
4.4 INDEMNIFICATION & INSURANCE.
4.4.1 INDEMNITY. Tenant's indemnity of Landlord as set forth in
Article 13 of the Lease shall also apply with respect to any and all costs,
losses, damages, injuries and liabilities related in any way to any act or
omission of Tenant or Tenant's Agents.
4.4.2 REQUIREMENTS OF TENANT'S AGENTS. Each of Tenant's Agents
shall guarantee to Tenant and for the benefit of Landlord that the portion of
the Improvements for which it is responsible shall be free from any defects in
workmanship and materials for a period of not less than one (1) year from the
date of completion thereof. All such warranties or guarantees as to materials or
workmanship of or with respect to the Improvements shall be contained in the
contract or subcontract and shall be written such that such guarantees or
warranties shall inure to the benefit of both Landlord and Tenant, as their
respective interests may appear, and can be directly enforced by either. Tenant
covenants to give to Landlord any assignment or other assurances which may be
necessary to effect such right of direct enforcement.
4.4.3 INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.
4.4.3.1 ENERAL COVERAGES. All of Tenant's Agents shall
carry worker's compensation insurance covering all of their respective
employees, and shall also carry public liability insurance, including property
damage, all with limits, in form and with companies as are required to be
carried by Tenant as set forth in Article 14 of this Lease.
4.4.3.2 PECIAL COVERAGES. Tenant shall carry "Builder's
All Risk" insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction
of the Improvements, and such other insurance as Landlord may require. Such
insurance shall be in amounts and shall include such extended coverage
endorsements as may be reasonably required by Landlord.
4.4.3.3. GENERAL TERMS. Certificates for all insurance
carried pursuant to this Section 4.4.3 shall be delivered to Landlord before the
commencement of construction of the Improvements and before the Contractor's
equipment is moved onto the site. In the event that the Improvements are damaged
by any cause during the course of the construction thereof,
-4-
Tenant shall immediately repair the same at Tenant's sole cost and expense.
Landlord may, in its discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion
bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount
sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of the Improvements and naming
Landlord as a co-obligee.
