OFFICE BUILDING LEASE
THIS LEASE is made as of November 12, 1999 by and between Princeton
Investment Group LLC ("Landlord"), and XACCT Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
Corporation, ("Tenant").
Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord
Suite Number 100 (the "Premises") outlined on the floor plan attached hereto and
marked Exhibit A, the Premises being agreed, for the purposes of this Lease, to
have an area of approximately 10,970 rentable square feet and being situated on
the First floor of that certain office building located at 2900 Lakeside Drive,
Santa Clara, California, 95054 (the "Building").
The parties hereto agree that said letting and hiring is upon and subject
to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth. Tenant covenants, as a
material part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and
all of said terms, covenants and conditions for which Tenant is liable and that
this Lease is made upon the condition of such performance.
Prior to the commencing of the term of this Lease the Premises shall be
improved by the Tenant Improvements described in the Work Letter marked Exhibit
B attached hereto.
1. TERM
The term of this Lease shall be for Sixty (60) months commencing January
1, 2000 or upon the substantial completion of tenant improvements as described
in EXHIBIT B, and ending on the last day of the month immediately preceding the
month in which the anniversary of the commencement date occurs, unless such term
shall be sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.
As soon as the commencement date is determined, the parties shall enter
into an amendment of this Lease setting forth the precise commencement and
termination dates of this Lease. Failure to enter into such an amendment,
however, shall not affect Tenant's liability hereunder for the term of the
Lease. Reference in this Lease to a "Lease Year" shall mean each successive
twelve-month period commencing with the commencement date.
2. POSSESSION
Tenant agrees that, if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the
Premises to Tenant on the scheduled commencement of the term of this Lease, this
Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for
any loss or damage resulting therefrom, but in such event the term of this Lease
shall not commence until Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to Tenant
with the Tenant Improvements substantially completed. If Landlord completes
construction of the Tenant Improvements prior to the date scheduled in the Work
Letter, Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant upon such
completion and the term of this Lease shall thereupon commence. Tenant shall
have the right to access the Premises from the date of execution of this Lease
until the Commencement Date for the purpose of installing furniture, trade
fixtures and equipment, and data and communication systems. Tenant shall not
conduct its business from the Premises during this early access period. Such
early occupancy shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease,
excluding the commencement of Rent. The preceding notwithstanding, Tenant may
terminate Lease if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises on
or before February 29, 2000.
3. BASIC RENT
(a) Tenant agrees to pay Landlord Basic Rent for the Premises (subject to
adjustments as hereinafter provided) as follows:
MONTHS OF TERM MONTHLY BASIC RENT
- -------------- ------------------
01 -12 $30,168 PER MONTH
13- 24 $31,265 PER MONTH
25 -36 $32,362 PER MONTH
37 -48 $33,459 PER MONTH
49 -60 $34,556 PER MONTH
1
The Basic Rent shall be paid monthly, in advance on the fist (1st) day
of each calendar month during the term, except that the fIrst month's rent shall
be paid on execution hereof. If Tenant's obligation to pay rent commences or
ends on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then the rental for
such period shall be prorated in the proportion that the number of days this
Lease is in effect during such period bears to number of days in such month. In
addition to the Basic Rent, Tenant agrees to pay as additional rental the amount
of rental adjustments and other charges required by this Lease. All rental shall
be paid to Landlord, without prior demand and without any deduction or offset,
in lawful money of the United States of America, at the address of Landlord
designated on the signature page of this Lease or to such other person or at
such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.
(b) In the event Tenant fails to pay any installment of rent when due or in
the event Tenant fails to make any other payment of which Tenant is obligated
under this Lease when due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a LATE CHARGE
EQUAL TO TEN PERCENT(10 %)MONTHLY of the amount due to compensate Landlord for
the extra costs incurred as a result of such late payment. If any rent or other
payment remains delinquent for a period in excess of 14 days then, in addition
to such late charge, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on such rent or other
payment at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date such rent or other
payment became due until paid.
4. RENTAL ADJUSTMENT
(a) For the purpose of this Article 4, the following terms are defined as
follows:
(i) TENANT'S PERCENTAGE. That portion of the Building occupied by
Tenant divided by the total square footage of the Building, which result is
the following 33.08%.
(ii) DIRECT EXPENSES BASE. The amount of the annual Direct
Expenses which Landlord has included in Basic Rent, which amount is the Direct
Expenses incurred for calendar year 2000 actual Direct Expenses.
(iii)DIRECT EXPENSES. The term "Direct Expenses" shall include:
(A) All real and personal property taxes and assessments imposed
by any governmental authority or agency on the Building and the land on which
the Building is located (including a pro rata portion of any taxes levied on any
common areas); any assessments levied in lieu of taxes; any non-progressive tax
on or measured by gross rentals received from the rental of space in the
Building; and any other costs levied or assessed by, or at the direction of, any
federal, state, or local government authority in connection with the use or
occupancy of the Premises or the parking facilities serving the Premises; any
tax on this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or
transferring an interest in the Premises, and any expenses, including cost of
attorneys or experts, reasonably incurred by Landlord in seeking reduction by
the taxing authority of the above-referenced taxes, less tax refunds obtained as
a result of an application for review thereof; but shall not include any net
income, franchise, capital stock, estate or inheritance taxes.
(B) Operating costs consisting of costs incurred by Landlord in
maintaining and operating the Building, exclusive of costs required to be
capitalized for federal income tax purposes, and including (without limiting the
generality of the foregoing) the following: costs of utilities, supplies and
insurance, costs of services of independent contractors, managers and other
suppliers, the fair rental value of the Building office, costs of compensation
(including employment taxes and fringe benefits) of all persons who perform
regular and recurring duties connected with the management, operation,
maintenance, and repair of the Building, its equipment, parking facilities and
the common areas, including, without limitation, engineers, janitors, foremen,
floor waxers, window washers, watchmen and gardeners, but excluding persons
performing services not uniformly available to or performed for substantially
all Building tenants; a reasonable management fee; cost of maintaining,
repairing and replacing landscaping, sprinkler systems, concrete walkways, paved
parking areas, signs, and site lighting.
(C) Amortization of such capital improvements as Landlord may
have installed: (a) for the purpose of reducing operating costs, (b) to comply
with governmental rules and regulations promulgated after completion of the
Building, and (c) for the purpose of replacing existing capital items and
improvements, provided that such cost together with interest at the maximum rate
allowed by law shall be amortized over such reasonable period as
2
Landlord shall determine, and only the monthly amortized cost shall be included
in Direct Expenses.
(b) If Tenant's Percentage of the Direct Expenses paid or incurred by
Landlord for any calendar year after the first calendar year exceeds the Direct
Expenses Base included in Tenant's rent, then Tenant shall pay such excess as
additional rent. Accordingly, for each year after the first calendar year, or
portion thereof, Tenant shall pay Tenant's Percentage of Landlord's estimate of
the amount by which Direct Expenses for that year shall exceed the Direct
Expenses Base ("Landlord Estimate"). This estimated amount shall be divided into
twelve equal monthly installments. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, concurrently
with the regular monthly rent payment next due following the receipt of such
statement, an amount equal to one monthly installment multiplied by the number
of months from January in the calendar year in which said statement is submitted
to the month of such payment, both months inclusive. Subsequent installments
shall be payable concurrently with the regular monthly rent payments for the
balance of that calendar year and shall continue until the next calendar year's
statement is rendered. As soon as possible after the end of each calendar year,
Landlord shall provide Tenant with a statement showing the amount of Tenant's
Percentage of Direct Expenses, the amount of Landlord's Estimate actually paid
by Tenant and the amount of the Direct Expenses Base. Thereafter, Landlord shall
reconcile the above amounts and shall either bill Tenant for the balance due
(payable on demand by Landlord) or credit any over payment by Tenant towards the
next monthly installment of Landlord's Estimate falling due, as the case may be.
For purposes of making these calculations, in no event shall Tenant's Percentage
of the Direct Expenses be deemed to be less than the Direct Expenses Base.
(c) Even though the term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises,
when the final determination is made of Tenant's Percentage of Direct Expenses
for the year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay any
increase due over the estimated expenses paid and, conversely, any over payment
made in the event said expenses decrease shall be rebated by Landlord to Tenant.
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT AND ADDITIONAL DEPOSIT (LETTER OF CREDIT)
(a) Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, upon execution of this Lease, the
sum of Thirty four thousand and five hundred fifty six Dollars and
no/lOOths ($34,556.00). Said sum shall be held by Landlord as security
for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of Tenant's obligations
hereunder. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this
Lease, including but not limited to the provisions relating to the
payment of rent, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use,
apply or retain all or any part of this security deposit for the
payment of any rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of
any other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend
by reason of Tenant's 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 the deposit is so used or applied, Tenant
shall, upon demand, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient
to restore the security deposit to its original amount. Tenant's
failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord
shall not be required to keep this security deposit separate from its
general funds. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform all of its
obligations under this Lease, the security deposit or any balance
thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or , at Landlord's option, to the
last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder) at the expiration of the
Lease term, provided that Landlord may retain the security deposit
until such time as any amount due from Tenant in accordance with
Article 4 hereof has been determined and paid in full.

Lease, deliver to Landlord and cause to be in effect during the

obtaining the LOC. The LOC shall not be mortgaged, assigned or

mortgagee for the return of the LOC.

the LOC as additional security for the performance of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease. If, after notice and failure to

prejudice to any other remedy it has, draw on that portion of the

become obligated to spend in exercising Landlord's right under

entire amount of the LOC.

Landlord but not applied by Landlord shall be held by Landlord as
security deposit (the LOC Security Deposit") in accordance with
Paragraph 5 of this Lease.

Landlord draws on any portion of the LOC and/or applies all or
any portion of such draw, Tenant shall, within five (5) business

equal the LOC Amount then required under this Paragraph 5(b ); or
(b) reinstate the LOC to the full LOC Amount.

Tenant warrants that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker or
agent in connection with the negotiation of the Lease, except CB Richard Ellis
and David Marley Associates whose commissions shall be payable by Landlord in
accordance with Landlord's standard commission schedule, and that it knows of no
other real estate, broker or agent who is or might be entitled to a commission

estate broker with respect to leasing or renting space in the Building, Tenant
shall be solely responsible for the payment of any fee due said person or firm
and Tenant shall hold Landlord free and harmless against any liability in
respect thereto, including attorneys' fees and costs.

percent (150%) of the rent in effect upon the date of such expiration (subject
to adjustment as provided in paragraph 4 hereof and prorated on a daily basis),
and otherwise subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein specified,
so far as applicable. Acceptance by Landlord of rent after such expiration or
earlier termination shall not result in a renewal of this Lease. The foregoing
provisions of this Article 9 are in addition to and do not affect Landlord's
right of reentry or any rights of Landlord hereunder or as otherwise provided by
law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration of this Lease
despite demand to do so by Landlord, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless from all loss or liability, including without limitation, any claim

surrender, and any attorneys' fees and costs.
10. TAXES ON TENANT'S PROPERTY
(a) Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay, at least ten days before
delinquency, all taxes levied against any personal property or trade fixtures
placed by Tenant in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant's
personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord's
property or if the assessed value of the Premises is increased by the inclusion
therein of a value placed upon such personal property or trade fixtures of
Tenant and if Landlord, after written notice to Tenant, pays the taxes based
upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do
regardless of the validity thereof, but only under proper protest if requested
by Tenant, Tenant shall, upon demand, repay to Landlord the taxes so levied
against Landlord, or the portion of such taxes resulting from such increase in
the assessment.
(b) If the Tenant Improvements in the Premises, whether installed, and/or
paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property
so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a
valuation higher than the valuation at which Tenant Improvements conforming to
Landlord's "Building Standard" in other space in the Building are assessed, then
the real property taxes and assessments levied against the Building by reason of
such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against
personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Paragraph
10(a), above. If the records of the county assessor are available and
sufficiently detailed to serve as a basis for determining whether said Tenant
Improvements are assessed at a higher valuation than Landlord's Building
Standard, such records shall be binding on both the Landlord and the Tenant. If
the records of the county assessor are not available or sufficiently detailed to
serve as a basis for making said determination, the actual cost of construction
shall be used.
11. CONDITION OF PREMISES
Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has
made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises or the Building
or with respect to the suitability of either for the conduct of Tenant's
business. The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall conclusively
establish that the Premises and the Building were in satisfactory condition at
such time. The preceding notwithstanding, Landlord represents that all Building
Systems shall be in good order and operating condition at the commencement of
the Lease.
6
12. ALTERATIONS
(a) Tenant shall make no alterations, additions or improvements in or to
the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent, and then only by
contractors or mechanics approved by Landlord. Tenant agrees that there shall be
no construction of partitions or other obstruction which might interfere with
Landlord's free access to mechanical installations or service facilities of the
Building or interfere with the moving of Landlord's equipment to or from the
enclosures containing said installations or facilities. All such work shall be
done at such times and in such manner as Landlord may from time to time
designate. Tenant covenants and agrees that all work done by Tenant shall be
performed in full compliance with all laws, rules, orders, ordinances,
regulations and requirements of all governmental agencies, offices, and boards
having jurisdiction, and in full compliance with the rules, regulations and
requirements of the Insurance Service Offices formerly known as the Pacific Fire
Rating Bureau, and of any similar body. Before commencing any work, Tenant shall
give Landlord at least ten (10) days written notice of the proposed commencement
of such work and shall, if required by Landlord, secure at Tenant's own cost and
expense, a completion and lien indemnity bond, satisfactory to Landlord, for
said work. Tenant further covenants and agrees that any mechanic's lien filed
against the Premises or against the Building for work claimed to have been done
for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant will be discharged
by Tenant, by bond or otherwise, within ten (10) days after the filing thereof,
at the cost and expense of Tenant. All alterations, additions or improvements
upon the Premises made by either party, including (without limiting the
generality of the foregoing) all wall covering, built-in cabinet work, paneling
and the like, shall, unless Landlord elects otherwise, become the property of
Landlord, and shall remain upon, and be surrendered with the Premises, as a part
thereof, at the end of the term hereof, except that Landlord may, by written
notice to Tenant, require Tenant to remove all partitions, counters, railings
and the like installed by Tenant, and Tenant shall repair all damage resulting
from such removal or, at Landlord's option, shall pay to Landlord all costs
arising from such removal.
(b) All articles of personal property and all business and trade fixtures,
machinery and equipment, furniture and movable partitions owned by Tenant or
installed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises shall be and remain the
property of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant at any time during the lease
term when Tenant is not in default hereunder. If Tenant shall fail to remove all
of its effects from the Premises upon termination of this Lease for any cause
whatsoever, Landlord may, at its option, remove the same in any manner that
Landlord shall choose, and store said effects without liability to Tenant for
loss thereof. In such event, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord upon demand any and
all expenses incurred in such removal, including court costs and attorneys' fees
and storage charges at its option, without notice, sell said effects, or any of
the same, at private sale and without legal process, for such price as Landlord
may obtain and apply the proceeds of such sale upon any amounts due under this
Lease from Tenant to Landlord and upon the expense incident to the removal and
sale of said effects.
13. REPAIRS
(a) By entry hereunder, Tenant accepts the Premises as being in good and
sanitary order, condition and repair. Tenant shall keep, maintain and preserve
the Premises in first class condition and repair, and shall, when and if needed,
at Tenant's sole cost and expense, make all repairs to the Premises and every
part thereof. Tenant shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of the
term hereof, surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as when
received, usual and ordinary wear and tear excepted. Landlord shall have no
obligation to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate, or paint the Premises
or any part thereof. The parties hereto affirm that Landlord has made no
representations to Tenant respecting the condition of the Premises or the
Building except as specifically herein set forth.
(b) Anything contained in Paragraph 13(a) above to the contrary
notwithstanding, Landlord shall repair and maintain the structural portions of
the Building, including the foundation, building shell, and roof structure, all
at Landlord's expense, unless such maintenance and repairs are caused in part or
in whole by the act, neglect, or omission of any duty of Tenant, its agents,
employees, or invitees, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as
additional rent, for the reasonable cost of such maintenance and repairs.
Landlord shall also repair and maintain the basic plumbing, elevators, life
safety systems and other building systems, heating, ventilating, air
conditioning and electrical systems installed or furnished by Landlord, the
roof membrane, the parking areas, driveways, sidewalks, landscaping, project
signs and exterior site lighting. The cost of the foregoing repairs and
maintenance shall be billed to Tenant as operating costs pursuant to Paragraph
4. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any such repairs or to
perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable
time after written notice of the need of
7
such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant. Except as provided
in Article 21 hereof, there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of
Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant's business
arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any
portion of the Building or the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and
equipment therein. Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord's expense
under any law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
14. LIENS
Tenant shall not permit any mechanics, materialmen's or other liens to be
filed against the Building nor against Tenant's leasehold interest in the
Premises. Landlord shall have the right at all reasonable times to post and keep
posted on the Premises any notices, which it deems necessary for protection from
such liens. If any such liens are filed, Landlord may, without waiving its
rights and remedies based on such breach of Tenant and without releasing Tenant
from any of its obligations, cause such liens to be released by any means it
shall deem proper, including payments in satisfaction of the claim giving rise
to such lien. Tenant shall pay to Landlord at once, upon notice by Landlord, any
sum paid by Landlord to remove such liens, together with interest at the maximum
rate per annum permitted by law from the date of such payment by Landlord.
15. ENTRY BY LANDLORD
Landlord reserves and shall at any and all times have the right to enter
the Premises to inspect the same, to supply janitor service and any service to
be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, to show the Premises to prospective
purchasers or tenants, to post notices of non-responsibility to alter, improve
or repair the Premises or any other portion of the Building, all without being
deemed guilty of any eviction of Tenant and without abatement of rent. Landlord
may, in order to carry out such purposes, erect scaffolding and other necessary
structures where reasonably required by the character of the work to be
performed, provided that the business of Tenant shall be interfered with as
little as is reasonably practicable. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages
for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, any
loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss in,
upon and about the Premises. Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key
with which to unlock all doors in the Premises. Any entry to the Premises
obtained by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise, shall not be construed
or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into the Premises, or an eviction
of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof, and any damages caused on
account thereof shall be paid by Tenant. It is understood and agreed that no
provision of this Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any
repairs, alterations or decorations except as otherwise expressly agreed herein
by Landlord.
16. UTILITIES AND SERVICES
Provided that Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Landlord agrees to
furnish or cause to be furnished to the Premises the utilities and services
described in the Standards for Utilities and Services, attached hereto as
Exhibit, subject to the conditions and in accordance with the standards set
forth therein. Landlord's failure to furnish any of the foregoing items when
such failure is caused by: (i) accident, breakage, or repairs; (ii) strikes,
lockouts or other labor disturbance or labor dispute of any character; (iii)
governmental regulation, moratorium or other governmental action; (iv) inability
despite the exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain electricity, water or
fuel; or (v) any other cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control, shall not
result in any liability to Landlord. In addition, Tenant shall not be entitled
to any abatement or reduction of rent by reason of such failure, no eviction of
Tenant shall result from such failure and Tenant shall not be relieved from the
performance of any covenant or agreement in this Lease because of such failure.
In the event of any failure, stoppage or interruption thereof, Landlord shall
diligently attempt to resume service promptly.
17. BANKRUPTCY
If Tenant shall file a petition in bankruptcy under any provision of the
Bankruptcy code as then in effect, or if Tenant shall be adjudicated a bankrupt
in involuntary bankruptcy proceedings and such adjudication shall not have been
vacated within thirty (30) days from the date thereof, or if a receiver or
trustee shall be appointed of Tenant's property and the order appointing such
receiver or trustee shall not be set aside or vacated within thirty (30) days
after the entry thereof, or if Tenant shall assign Tenant's estate or effects
for the benefit of creditors, or if this Lease shall, by
8
operation of law or otherwise, pass to any person or persons other than Tenant,
then in any such event Landlord may terminate this Lease, if Landlord so elects,
with or without notice of such election and with or without entry or action by
Landlord. In such case, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease,
Landlord, in addition to any and all rights and remedies allowed by law or
equity, shall, upon such termination, be entitled to recover damages in the
amount provided in Paragraph 23(b) hereof. Neither Tenant nor any person
claiming through or under Tenant or by virtue of any statute or order of any
court shall be entitled to possession of the Premises but shall surrender the
Premises to Landlord. Nothing contained herein shall limit or prejudice the
right of Landlord to recover damages by reason of any such termination equal to
the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when,
and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved; whether
or not such amount is greater, equal to, or less than the amount of damages
recoverable under the provisions of this Article 17.
18. INDEMNIFICATION
Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from all claims
arising from Tenant's use of the I Premises or the conduct of its business or
from any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or
about the Premises. Tenant shall further indemnify, defend and hold Landlord
harmless from all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance
of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or
arising from any act, neglect, fault or omission of Tenant or of its agents or
employees, and from and against all costs, attorneys' fees, expenses and
liabilities incurred in or about such claim or any action or proceeding brought
thereon. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against Landlord by
reason of any such claim, Tenant upon notice from Landlord shall defend the same
at Tenant's expense by counsel approved in writing by Landlord. Tenant, as a
material part of the consideration to Landlord, hereby assumes all risk of
damage to property or injury to person in, upon or about the Premises from any
cause whatsoever except that which is caused by the failure of Landlord to
observe any of the terms and conditions of this Lease where such failure has
persisted for an unreasonable period of time after written notice of such
failure. Tenant hereby waives all its claims in respect thereof against Landlord
except as permitted by previous sentence.
19. DAMAGE TO TENANT'S PROPERTY
Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 18 to the contrary, Landlord or
its agents shall not be liable for (i) any damage to any property entrusted to
employees of the Building, (ii) loss or damage to any property by theft or
otherwise, (iii) any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from
fIre, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which
may leak from any part of the Building or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing
work therein or from the roof, street or sub-surface or from any other place or
resulting from dampness or (iv) any other cause whatsoever, except to the extent
due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Landlord or its
agents shall not be liable for interference with light or other incorporeal
heraditaments, nor shall Landlord be liable for any latent defect in the
Premises or in the Building. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in case
off Ire or accidents in the Premises or in the Building or of defects therein or
in the fixtures or equipment.
20. TENANT'S INSURANCE
(a) Tenant shall, during the term hereof and any other period of occupancy,
at it's sole cost and expense, keep in full force and effect the following
insurance:
(i) Standard form property insurance insuring against the perils of
fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, special extended
coverage ("All Risk") and sprinkler leakage. This insurance policy shall be
upon all property owned by Tenant, for which Tenant is legally liable or
that was installed at Tenant's expense, and which is located in the
Building including, without limitation, furniture, fittings, installations,
fixtures ( other than Tenant Improvements installed by Landlord), and any
other personal property, in an amount not less than the full replacement
cost thereof. In the event that there shall be a dispute as to the amount
which comprises full replacement cost, the decision of Landlord or any
mortgagees of Landlord shall be conclusive. This insurance policy shall also be
upon direct or indirect loss of Tenant's earnings attributable to Tenant's
inability to use fully or obtain access to the Premises or Building in an amount
as will properly reimburse Tenant. Such policy shall name Landlord and any
mortgagees of Landlord as insured parties, as their respective interests may
appear.
9
(ii) Commercial liability insurance insuring Tenant against any
liability arising out of the lease, use, occupancy or maintenance of the
Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be in the
amount of $3,000,000.00 combined single limit for injury to, or death of one or
more persons in an occurrence, and for damage to tangible property (including
loss of use) in an occurrence, with such liability amount to be adjusted from
year to year to reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index. The policy shall
insure the hazards of premises and operations, independent contractors,
contractual liability (covering the indemnity contained in Paragraph 18 hereof)
and shall (1) name Landlord as an additional insured, and (2) contain a
provision that "the insurance provided the Landlord hereunder shall be primary
and noncontributing with any other insurance available to the Landlord."
(iii) Workers' compensation and employer's liability insurance (as
required by state law).
(iv) Any other form or forms of insurance as Tenant or Landlord or any
mortgagees of Landlord may reasonably require from time to time in form, in
amounts and for insurance risks against which a prudent tenant would protect
itself.
(b) All policies shall be written in a form satisfactory to Landlord and
shall be taken out with insurance companies holding a General Policy holders
Rating of "A" and a Financial Rating of "X" or better, as set forth in the most
current issue of Bests Insurance Guide. Within ten (10) days after the execution
of this LeaSe, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of policies or
certificates evidencing the existence of the amounts and forms of coverage
satisfactory to Landlord. No such policy shall be cancelable or reducible in
coverage except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant
shall, within ten (10) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish
Landlord with renewals or "binders" thereof, or Landlord may order such
insurance and charge the cost thereof to Tenant as additional rent. If Landlord
obtains any insurance that is the responsibility of Tenant under this section,
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written statement setting forth the cost of
any such insurance and showing in reasonable detail the manner in which it has
been computed.
21. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
(a) If the Building and/or the Premises is damaged by fire or other
perils covered by Landlord's insurance, Landlord shall have the following rights
and obligations:
(i) In the event of total destruction, Landlord shall, at
Landlord's option, commence repair, reconstruction and restoration of the
Building and/or the Premises as soon as reasonably possible, and diligently
prosecute the same to completion, in which event this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect. If Landlord elects not to so repair, reconstruct or restore
the Building and/or the Premises, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of
such total destruction. In either event, Landlord shall give Tenant written
notice of its intention within sixty (60) days after the date of damage or
destruction.
(ii) In the event of a partial destruction of the Building and/or
the Premises, Landlord shall promptly restore the Building and/or the Premises
unless Landlord elects to terminate this Lease as permitted herein. Landlord
shall have the right to terminate this Lease if (1) the damage to the Building
and/or the Premises exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable
value thereof, (2) the damage to the Building and/or the Premises is such that
the Building and/or the Premises cannot be repaired, reconstructed or restored
within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of damage or destruction, or
(3) insurance proceeds received by Landlord will not be sufficient to cover the
cost of such repairs, reconstruction and restoration. Landlord shall give
written notice to Tenant of its intention within sixty (60) days after the date
of damage or destruction. If Landlord elects not to restore the Building and/or
the Premises, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of
such partial destruction.
(b) Upon any termination of this Lease under any of the provisions of
this Article 21, the parties shall be released without further obligation to the
other from the date possession of the Premises is surrendered to Landlord except
for items which have theretofore accrued and are then unpaid.
(c) In the event of repair, reconstruction and restoration by
Landlord as herein provided, the rental payable under this Lease shall be abated
proportionately with the degree to which Tenant's use of the Premises is
impaired during the period of such repair, reconstruction or restoration.
Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation
10
or damages for loss the use of the whole or any part of the Premises and/or any
inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair, reconstruction or
restoration.
(d) Tenant shall not be released from any of its obligations under
this Lease except to the extent and upon the conditions express stated in this
Article 21. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article
21, if Landlord is delayed or prevented from repairing or restoring the damaged
Premises within one year after the occurrence of such damage or destruction by
reason of acts of God, war, governmental restrictions, inability to obtain the
necessary labor or materials, or other cause beyond the control of Landlord,
Landlord shall be relieved of its obligation to make such repairs of restoration
and Tenant shall be released from its obligations under this Lease as of the end
of said one year period.
(e) If age is due to any cause other than fire or other peril covered
by All-Risk insurance, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease.
(f) If Landlord is obligated to or elects to repair or restore as
herein provided, Landlord shall be obligated to make repair or restoration only
of those portions of the Building and the Premises which were originally
provided at Landlord's expense, and the repair and restoration of items not
provided at Landlord's expense shall be the obligation of Tenant.
(g) Not withstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article 21, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair,
reconstruct or restore the Premises when the damage resulting from any casualty
covered under this Article 21, occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the
term of this Lease or any extension hereof.
(h) The revisions of California Civil Code Section 1932, Subsection 2,
and Section 1933, Subsection 4, which permit termination of a lease upon
destruction of the leased premises, are hereby waived by Tenant; and the
provisions of this article shall govern in case of such destruction.
22. EMINENT DOMAIN
If all of the Premises, or such part thereof as shall substantially
interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises, shall be taken for
any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by exercise
of the right of appropriation, condemnation or eminent domain, or sold to
prevent such taking, either party may terminate this Lease effective as of the
date possession is required to be surrendered to said authority. Tenant shall
not assert any claim against Landlord or the taking authority for any
compensation because of such taking, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive
the entire amount of any award without deduction for any estate or interest of
Tenant. If neither party terminates this Lease as permitted herein, Landlord
shall be entitled to the entire amount of the award without deduction for any
estate or interest of Tenant, Landlord shall restore the Premises to
substantially their same condition prior to such partial taking, and rent shall
be abated for the time and to the extent Tenant is prevented from using the
Premises on account of such taking and restoration. Nothing contained in this
paragraph shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in any award made to
Tenant for the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant or
for Tenants moving or relocation expenses.
23. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
(a) The occurrence of anyone or more of the following events shall
constitute a default hereunder by Tenant:
(i) The vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant.
Abandonment is herein defined to include, but is not limited to, any absence by
Tenant from the Premises for five (5) business days or longer while in default
of any provision of this Lease.
(ii) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent where such
failure shall continue for a period of three (3) day after written notice
thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided however, that any such notice shall be
in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 1161
11
regarding unlawful detainer actions.
(iii) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the
express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or
performed by Tenant, other than as specified in Subparagraph 23(a)(i) or (ii)
above, where such failure shall continue for a period often (10)days after
written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant. Any such notice shall be in lieu
of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1161 regarding unlawful detainer actions. If the nature of
Tenant's default is such that more than ten (10) days are reasonably required
for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall
commence such cure within said ten-day period and thereafter diligently
prosecute such cure to completion, which completion shall occur not later than
sixty (60) days from the date of such notice from Landlord.
(iv) (1) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the
benefit of creditors (2) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have
Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under
any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against
Tenant, the same is dismissed within thirty (30) days); (3) the appointment of a
trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets
located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where possession
is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (4) the attachment,
execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets
located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease where such seizure
is not discharged within thirty (30) days.
(b) In the event of any such default by Tenant, in addition to any
other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord shall have
the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder.
In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease then Landlord
may recover from Tenant:
(i) the worth at the time of award 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 term after the time of award exceeds the
amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus
(iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all
detriment approximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's
obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be
likely to result therefrom.
As used in Subparagraphs 23(b)(i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the time of
award" is computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law. As
used in Subparagraph 23(b)(iii) above, the "worth at the time of award" is
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%).
(c) In the event of any such default Landlord shall also have the
right to continue this Lease in full force and effect, and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect as long as Landlord does not terminate this
Lease, and Landlord shall have the right to collect rent as it becomes due.
(d) Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating
this Lease, to reenter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the
Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or
elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. No reentry or taking
possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 23(c) shall
be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of
such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is decreed
by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(e) All rights, options and remedies of Landlord contained in this
Lease shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be
exclusive of the other. Landlord shall have the right to pursue anyone or
12
all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law,
whether or not stated in this Lease. No waiver of any default of Tenant
hereunder shall be implied from any acceptance by Landlord of any rent or other
payments due hereunder or any omission by Landlord to take any action on account
of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver
shall affect defaults other than as specified in said waiver. The consent or
approval of Landlord to or of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's consent or
approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord's consent
or approval to or of any subsequent similar acts by Tenant.
24. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
(a) Tenant shall not voluntarily assign or encumber its interest in
this Lease or in the Premises, or sublease all or any part of the Premises, or
allow any other person or entity to occupy or use all or any part of the
Premises, without fIrst obtaining Landlord's prior written consent. Any
assignment, encumbrance or sublease without Landlord's prior written consent
shall be voidable, at Landlord's election, and shall constitute a default and at
the option of the Landlord shall result in a termination of this Lease. No
consent to assignment, encumbrance, or sublease shall constitute a further
waiver of the provisions of this paragraph. Tenant shall notify Landlord in
writing of Tenant's intent to sublease, encumber or assign this Lease and
Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such written notice, elect
one of the following: (i) consent to such proposed assignment or sublease or;
(ii) refuse such consent, which refusal shall be on reasonable grounds; or (iii)
elect to terminate this Lease.
(b) As a condition for granting its consent to any assignment,
encumbrance or sublease, thirty (30) days prior to any anticipated assignment or
sublease Tenant shall give Landlord written notice (the "Assignment Notice"),
which shall set forth the name, address and business of the proposed assignee or
sublessee, information (including references) concerning the character,
ownership and financial condition of the proposed assignee or sublessee, the
Assignment Date, any ownership or commercial relationship between Tenant and the
proposed assignee or sublessee, all in such detail as Landlord shall reasonably
require. If Landlord requests additional detail, the Assignment Notice shall not
be deemed to have been received until Landlord received such additional detail,
and Landlord may withhold consent to any assignment or sublease until such
additional detail is provided to it. Further, Landlord may require that the
sublessee or assignee remit directly to Landlord on a monthly basis, all monies
due to Tenant by said assignee or sublessee.
(c) The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not
be construed as relieving Tenant or any assignee of this Lease or sublessee of
the Premises from obtaining the express written consent of Landlord to any
further assignment or subletting or as releasing Tenant or any assignee or
sublessee of Tenant from any liability or obligation hereunder whether or not
then accrued. In the event Landlord shall consent to an assignment or sublease,
Tenant shall pay Landlord as additional rent a reasonable attorneys' and
administration fee not to exceed $1,000 for costs incurred in connection with
evaluating the Assignment Notice. This section shall be fully applicable to all
further sales, hypothecation, transfers, assignments and subleases of any
portion of the by any successor or assignee of Tenant, or any sublessee of the
Premises.
(d) As used in this section, the subletting of substantially all of
the Premises for substantially all of the remaining term of this Lease shall be
deemed an assignment rather than a sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord shall consent to the assignment, sale or transfer if the Assignment
Notice states that Tenant desires to assign the Lease to any entity into which
Tenant is merged, with which Tenant is consolidated or which acquires all of
substantially all of the assets of Tenant, provided that the assignee first
executes, acknowledges and delivers to Landlord an agreement whereby the
assignee agrees to be bound by all of the covenants and agreements in this Lease
which Tenant has agreed to keep, observe or perform, that the assignee agrees
that the provisions of this section shall be binding upon it as if it were the
original Tenant hereunder and that the assignee shall have a net worth
(determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied) immediately after such assignment which is at least equal
to the net worth (as so determined) of Tenant at the commencement of this Lease.
(e) Except as provided above, Landlord's consent to any sublease shall
not be unreasonably withheld. A condition to such consent shall be delivery by
Tenant to Landlord of a true copy of any such sublease. If for any proposed
assignment or sublease Tenant receives rent or other consideration, either
initially or over the term of the assignment or sublease, in excess of the rent
called for hereunder, or, in case of the sublease of a portion of the Premises,
in excess of such rent fairly allocable to such portion, after appropriate
adjustments to assure that all other payments
l3
called for hereunder are taken into account, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as
additional rent hereunder three-quarters (3/4) of the excess of each such
payment of rent or other consideration received by Tenant promptly after its
receipt. Landlord's waiver or consent to any assignment or subletting shall not
relieve Tenant from any obligation under this lease. The parties intend that the
preceding sentence shall not apply to any sublease rentals respecting a portion
of the Premises that during the entire term of this Lease was not occupied by
Tenant for its own use, but was always subleased by Tenant and/or kept vacant.
For the purposes of this section, the rent for each square foot of floor space
in the Premises shall be deemed equal.
25. SUBORDINATION
Without the necessity of any additional document being executed by
Tenant for the purpose of effecting a subordination, and at the election of
Landlord or any mortgagee with a lien on the building or any ground lessor with
respect to the building, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all
times to:
(i) All ground leases or underlying leases which may now exist or
hereafter be executed affecting the building or the land upon which the building
is situated or both;
(ii) The lien of any mortgage or deed of trust which may now
exist or hereafter be executed in any amount for which the building, land,
ground leases, or underlying leases, or Landlord's interest or estate in any of
said items is specified as security .Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord
shall have the right to subordinate or cause to be subordinated any such leases
or underlying leases or any such liens to this Lease. In the event that any
ground lease or underlying lease terminates for any reason or any mortgage or
deed of trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for
any reason, Tenant shall, notwithstanding any subordination, attorney to and
become the Tenant of the successor in interest to Landlord, at the option of
such successor in interest. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver,
upon demand by Landlord and in the form requested by Landlord, any additional
documents evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease with respect to
any such ground leases or underlying leases or in the lien of any such mortgage
or deed of trust. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as
attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute, deliver and record any such document in
the name and on behalf of Tenant.
26. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
(a) Within ten (10) days following any written request which Landlord
may make from time to time, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a
statement certifying: (i) the date of commencement of this Lease; (ii) the fact
that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have
been modifications); (iii) the date to which the rental and other sums payable
under this Lease have been paid; (iv) that there are no current defaults under
this Lease by either Landlord or Tenant except as specified in Tenant's
statement; and (v) such other matters requested by Landlord. Landlord and Tenant
intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Article 26 may be relied
upon by any mortgage, beneficiary, purchaser, or prospective purchaser of the
building or any interest therein.
(b) Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall
be conclusive upon Tenant: (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect,
without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) that there
are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, and (iii) that not more than
one month's rental has been paid in advance.
27. SIGNAGE
Landlord shall provide for Tenant the opportunity to have a Tenant
identification sign at the entry to the Premises and the right to have Tenant's
name placed upon the building directory sign and a monument or building signage
at Landlord's election. Tenant shall have no other right to maintain a Tenant
identification sign in any other location in, on or about the Premises, the
building, or the Project. Tenant's identification sign shall be subject to
Landlord's written reasonable approval prior to installation. The cost of the
installation of the sign, and its maintenance and removal expense, shall be at
Tenant's sole expense. If Tenant fails to maintain its sign or if Tenant fails
to remove its sign upon termination of this Lease or restore the appearance of
the Premises to its condition prior to the placement of said sign, Landlord may
do so at Tenant's expense and Tenant's reimbursement to Landlord for such
amounts shall be deemed additional rent. All signs shall comply with rules and
regulations set forth by Landlord as may be modified
14
from time to time.
28. RULES AND REGULATIONS
Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the "Rules and
Regulations," a copy of which is attached 1% hereto and marked EXHIBIT D and all
reasonable and nondiscriminatory modifications thereof and additions thereto
from time to time put into effect by Landlord. Landlord shall not be
responsible to Tenant for the violation or nonperformance by any other tenant
or occupant of the building of any of said Rules and Regulations.
29. CONFLICT OF LAW
This Lease shall be governed by and construed pursuant to the laws of
the State of California.
30. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, all of the covenants,
conditions, and provisions of this Lease shall be bindIng upon and shall inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal
representatives, successors, and assigns.
31. SURRENDER OF PREMISES
The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual
cancellation thereof, 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.
32. ATTORNEY'S FEES
(a) If Landlord should bring suit for possession of the Premises, for
the recovery of any sum due under this Lease, or because of the breach of any
provisions of this Lease, or for any other relief against Tenant hereunder, or
in the event of any other litigation between the parties with respect to this
Lease, then all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees,
incurred by the prevailing party therein shall be paid by the other party which
obligation on the part of the other party shall be deemed to have accrued on the
date of the commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not
the action is prosecuted to judgment. (b) If Landlord is named as a defendant in
any suit brought against Tenant in connection with or arising out of Tenant's
occupancy hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its costs and expenses
incurred in such suit, including reasonable attorney's fees.
33. PERFORMANCE BY TENANT
All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under any of
the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and
expense and without any abatement of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum
of money owed to any party other than Landlord, for which it is liable
hereunder, or if Tenant shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be
performed hereunder and such failure shall continue for ten (10) days after
notice thereof by Landlord, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant
from obligations of Tenant, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment
or perform any such other act to be made or performed by Tenant. All sums so
paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs together with interest
thereon at the maximum rate permissible by law, from the date of such payment by
Landlord, shall be payable to Landlord on demand. Tenant covenants to pay any
such sums and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of
Landlord) all rights and remedies in the event of the nonpayment thereof by
Tenant as are set forth in Article 23 hereof.
34. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION
In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give
notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust or
mortgage covering the Premises whose address shall have been furnished to
Tenant, and shall offer such beneficiary or mortgagee a reasonable opportunity
to cure the default, including time to obtain
15
possession of the Premises by power of sale or a judicial foreclosure, if such
should prove necessary to effect a cure.
35. DEFINITION OF LANDLORD
The term "Landlord", as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or
obligations on the part of the Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean
and include only the owners, at the time in question, of the fee title of the
Premises or the lessees under any ground lease, if any. In the event of any
transfer, assignment, or other conveyances, the then grantor shall be
automatically freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer,

(a) Provided that Tenant is not in default hereunder either at

(b) The monthly installments of Annual Basic Rent for the Option
Period shall be determined as follows:
(i) Within fifteen (15) business days after Landlord's receipt of
the Option Notice, the parties shall attempt to agree on the monthly rent for
the Option Period in question based upon the then fair market rental value of
the Premises. If the parties agree on the monthly rent for the Option Period

Tenant shall have the right to rescind its exercise of the option to extend and
have this Lease expire at the end of the initial term, provided that Tenant pays
for all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the appraisal
procedure. Tenant's election to allow this Lease to expire at the end of the
initial term must be exercised by delivering written notice of exercise to
Landlord within ten (10) days after the rent determination procedure has been
completed and Tenant has received notice of the monthly rent as determined by
appraisal. If Tenant does not so exercise its election to terminate this Lease
within the ten (10) day period, the initial term of this Lease shall be extended
as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant elects
to so rescind exercise of its option to extend and, at the time of such election
there are less than one hundred eighty (180) days remaining on the initial term
of the Lease, then, the termination of this Lease shall not be effective until
one hundred eighty (180) days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's notice of
rescission. During any period that the term of this Lease is so extended beyond
the original termination date, Tenant shall be required to
18

shall be personal to Tenant and any of its affiliates and subsidiaries. No
rights granted to Tenant pursuant to this paragraph shall be in any way
applicable to subtenants or assignees of Tenant unless such subtenant or
assignee is an affiliate or subsidiary of Tenant.

incorporated by reference to the extent that the provisions of this Work Letter
Agreement may apply thereto) and in consideration of the mutual covenants
hereinafter contained, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:
1. COMPLETION SCHEDULE

approval to be given by Landlord and Tenant in connection with the completion of
the Tenant Improvements. Such schedule shall be submitted to Tenant for its
approval and, upon approval by both Landlord and Tenant, such schedule shall
become the basis for completing the Tenant Improvement work. If Tenant shall
fail to approve the Work Schedule, as it may be modified after discussions
between Landlord and Tenant, within five (5) working days after the date such
schedule is first received by Tenant, Landlord may, at its option, terminate the
Lease and all of its obligations thereunder.

and shall thereafter be submitted to the appropriate governmental body for plan
checking and a building permit. Landlord, with Tenant's cooperation, shall cause

STANDARDS FOR UTILITIES AND SERVICES
The following Standards for Utilities and Services are in effect.
Landlord reserves the right to adopt nondiscriminatory
modifications and additions hereto.
As long as Tenant is not in default under any of the terms, covenants,
conditions, provisions, or agreements of this Lease, Landlord shall:
(a) Provide non-attended automatic elevator facilities Monday
through Friday, except holidays, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
(b) On Monday through Friday, except holidays, from 7:00 a.m.- 6:00
p.m. (and other times for a reasonable additional charge to be fixed by
Landlord), ventilate the Premises and furnish air conditioning or heating on
such days and hours, when in the judgment of Landlord it may be required for the
comfortable occupancy of the Premises. The air conditioning system achieves
maximum cooling when the window coverings are closed. Landlord shall not be
responsible for room temperatures if Tenant does not keep all window coverings
in the Premises closed whenever the system is in operation. Tenant agrees to
cooperate fully at all times with Landlord, and to abide by all regulations and
requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper function and protection
of the air conditioning system. Tenant agrees not to connect any apparatus,
device, conduit, or pipe to the building chilled and hot water air conditioning
supply lines. Tenant further agrees that neither Tenant nor its servants,
employees, agents, visitors, licensees, or contractors shall at any time enter
mechanical installations or facilities of the building or adjust, tamper with,
touch or otherwise in any manner affect said installations or facilities. The
cost of maintenance and service calls to adjust and regulate the air
conditioning system shall be charged to Tenant if the need for maintenance work
results from either Tenant's adjustment of room thermostats or Tenant's failure
to comply with its results from either Tenant's adjustment of room thermostats
or Tenant's failure to comply with its obligations under this section, including
keeping window coverings closed as needed. Such work shall be charged at hourly
rates equal to then current journeymen's wages for air conditioning mechanics.
(c) Landlord shall furnish to the Premises, during the usual
business hours on business days, electric current as required by the Building
standard office lighting and fractional horsepower office business machines in
the amount of approximately two and one-half (2.5) KWH watts per square foot.
Tenant agrees, should its electrical installation or electrical consumption be
in excess of the aforesaid quantity or extend beyond normal business hours, to
reimburse Landlord monthly for the measured consumption at the average cost per
kilowatt hour charged to the building during the period. If a separate meter is
not installed at Tenant's cost, such excess costs will be established by an
estimate agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, and if the parties fail to agree,
as established by an independent licensed engineer. Said estimates to be
reviewed and adjusted quarterly. Tenant agrees not to use any apparatus or
device in, or upon, or about the Premises which may in any way increase the
amount of such services usually furnished or supplied to said Premises, and
Tenant further agrees not to connect any apparatus or device with wire,
conduits, pipes, or other means by which such services are supplied, for the
purpose of using additional or unusual amounts of such services without written
consent of Landlord. Should Tenant use the same to excess, the refusal on the
part of Tenant to pay upon demand of Landlord the amount established by Landlord
for such excess charge shall constitute a breach of the obligation to pay rent
under this Lease and shall entitle Landlord to the rights therein granted for
such breach. At all times Tenant's use of electric current shall never exceed
the capacity of the feeders to the building or the risers or wiring installation
and Tenant shall not install or use or permit the installation or use of an
excessive amount of computers or electronic data processing equipment in the
premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord.
(d) Water will be available in public areas for drinking and lavatory
purposes only, but if Tenant requires, uses, or consumes water for any purposes
in addition to ordinary drinking and lavatory purposes of which fact Tenant
constitutes Landlord to be the sole judge, Landlord may install a water meter
and thereby measure Tenant's water consumption for all purposes. Tenant shall
pay Landlord for the cost of the meter and the cost of the installation thereof
and throughout the duration of Tenant's occupancy, Tenant shall keep said meter
and installation equipment in good working order and repair at Tenant's own cost
and expense, in default of which Landlord may cause such meter and equipment
replaced or repaired and collect the cost thereof from Tenant. Tenant agrees to
pay for water consumed, as shown on said meter, as and when bills are rendered,
and on default in making such payment, Landlord may pay such
1
charges and collect the same from Tenant. Any such costs or expenses incurred,
or payments made by Landlord for any of the reasons or purposes hereinabove
stated shall be deemed to be additional rent payable by Tenant and collectible
by Landlord as such.
(e) Provide janitor service to the Premises, provided the same are
kept reasonably in order by Tenant, and if to be kept clean by Tenant, no one
other than persons approved by Landlord shall be permitted to enter the Premises
for such purposes. If the Premises are not used exclusively as offices, they
shall be kept clean and in order by Tenant, at Tenant's expense, and to the
satisfaction of Landlord, and by persons approved by Landlord. Tenant shall pay
to Landlord the cost of removal of any of Tenant's refuse and rubbish, to the
extent that the same exceeds the refuse and rubbish usually attendant upon the
use of the Premises as offices.
Landlord reserves the right to stop service of the elevator, plumbing,
ventilation, air conditioning, and electric systems, when necessary, by reason
of accident or emergency or for repairs, alterations or improvements, in the
judgment of Landlord desirable or necessary to be made, until said repairs,
alterations or improvements shall have been completed, and shall further have no
responsibility or liability for failure to supply elevator facilities, plumbing,
ventilating, air conditioning, or electric service, when prevented from so doing
by strike or accident or by any cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control, or
by laws, rules, orders, ordinances, directions, regulations, or requirements of
any federal, state, county, or municipal authority or failure of gas, oil, or
other suitable fuel supply or inability by exercise of reasonable diligence to
obtain gas, oil, or other suitable fuel. It is expressly understood and agreed
that any covenants on Landlord's part to furnish any service pursuant to any of
the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions, or agreements of this Lease, or to
perform any act or thing for the benefit of Tenant, shall not be deemed breached
if Landlord is unable to furnish or perform the same by virtue of a strike or
labor trouble or any other cause whatsoever beyond Landlord's control.
