All Alterations requiring Lessor’s consent shall be in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Lessor.

The Lessor may impose as a condition to the aforesaid consent such additional requirements as Lessor may deem necessary in Lessor’s reasonable discretion, including without limitation requirements respecting the manner in which the work is done, Lessor’s right of approval of the contractor by whom the work is to be performed, and the times during which it is to be accomplished. Upon written request of Lessor at the time it consents to an Alteration (or at any time prior to expiration of the Lease as to Alterations that do not require Lessor’s consent hereunder), Lessee will remove any or all Alterations installed by or for Lessee upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

Additional Rent a monthly payment equal to the monthly amortization, together with interest on the unamortized amount at an annual rate of the prime lending rate plus two percent (Prime + 2%).

Upon execution of this Lease and annually thereafter upon renewal of such policies, Lessee shall provide Lessor with certificates of insurance, together with appropriate endorsements, evidencing coverages the Lessee is required to carry pursuant to 11.1 and 11.2. The policies shall provide for thirty (30) days advance written notice of cancellation to Lessor and Lessor’s lender.

In such case Lessee shall be liable for only such portion of the premiums for such blanket policies as are allocable to the Premises. It is understood and agreed that Lessee’s obligation under this paragraph shall be prorated to reflect the Commencement Date and Expiration Date of the Lease.

DEFAULT AND

REMEDIES

  

19. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (each an “Event of Default”) shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Lessee:

  

(a) Lessee fails to pay any Base Monthly Rent or additional rent under this Lease as and when it becomes due and payable and such failure continues for more than five (5) days after Lessor gives written notice thereof to Lessee; or

 

  

(b) Lessee fails to perform or breaches any other covenant of this Lease to be performed or observed by Lessee as and when performance or observance is due and such failure or breach continues for more than ten (10) days after Lessor gives written notice thereof to Lessee; provided, however, that if such failure or breach cannot reasonably be cured within such period often (10) days, an Event of Default shall not exist as long as Lessee commences with due diligence and dispatch the curing of such failure or breach within such period often (10) days and, having so commenced, thereafter prosecutes with diligence and dispatch and completes the curing of such failure or breach within a reasonable time; or

  

(c) Lessee files, or consents by answer or otherwise to the filing against it of, a petition for relief or reorganization or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy or for liquidation or to take advantage of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other debtors’ relief law of any jurisdiction; makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or consents to the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers of Lessee or of any substantial part of Lessee’s property; or

  

(d) A court or government authority enters an order, and such order is not vacated within thirty (30) days, appointing a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to Lessee or with respect to any substantial part of Lessee’s property; or constituting an order for relief or approving a petition for relief or reorganization or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy or for liquidation or to take advantage of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other debtors’ relief law of any jurisdiction; or ordering the dissolution, winding-up or liquidation of Lessee; or

  

(e) Lessee abandons the Premises.

  

19.1 If an Event of Default occurs, Lessor shall have the right at any time to give a written termination notice to Lessee and, on the date specified in such notice, Lessee’s right to possession shall terminate and this Lease shall terminate. Upon such termination, Lessor shall have the right to recover from Lessee:

 

4 of 10


  

(i) The worth at the time of award of all unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination;

  

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

  

(iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which all unpaid rent for the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and

  

(iv) All other amounts necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee’s failure to perform all of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.

   The “worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be computed by allowing interest at the maximum annual interest rate allowed by law for business loans (not primarily for personal, family or household purposes) not exempt from the usury law at the time of termination or, if there is no such maximum annual interest rate, at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in clause (iii) above 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%). For the purpose of determining unpaid rent under clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the rent reserved in this Lease shall be deemed to be the total rent payable by Lessee under this Lease, including Base Monthly Rent, additional rent and all other sums payable by Lessee under this Lease.
  

19.2 Even though Lessee has breached this Lease, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Lessor does not terminate Lessee’s right to possession, and Lessor shall have all of its rights and remedies, including the right, pursuant to California Civil Code section 1951.4, to recover all rent as it becomes due under this Lease. Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Lessor to protect Lessor’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Lessee’s right to possession unless written notice of termination is given by Lessor to Lessee.

  

19.3 The remedies provided for in this Lease are in addition to all other remedies available to Lessor at law or in equity by statute or otherwise.

LATE

CHARGES AND

INTEREST

  

20. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Lessee shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor’s designee within ten (10) days after such amount shall be due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

  

If any rent payable under the Lease remains delinquent for a period in excess of ten (10) calendar days, then, in addition to any late charge payable, Lessee shall pay to Lessor interest on any rent that is not so paid from the date due until paid at the then maximum rate of interest not prohibited or made usurious by Law.

SURRENDER

OF LEASE

  

21. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to Lessor of any or all such subleases or subtenancies.

 

TAXES   

22. The Lessee shall be liable for all taxes levied against personal property and trade or business fixtures. The Lessee also agrees to pay, as additional rental, during the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof, all real estate taxes plus the yearly installments of any special assessments which are of record or which may become of record during the term of this lease. Within thirty (30) days after delivery to Lessee of a tax bill or Lessor’s invoice for taxes, Lessee shall pay such taxes to the taxing authority or to Lessor, as instructed by Lessor. If Lessee fails to pay such taxes within such 30-day period, then Lessee shall pay, as additional rent, any late fees, penalties or interest assessed by the taxing authorities. If the Premises are a portion of a tax parcel or parcels and this Lease does not cover an entire tax parcel or parcels, the taxes and assessment installments allocated to the Premises shall be pro-rated on a square footage or other equitable basis, as calculated by the Lessor. It is understood and agreed that the Lessee’s obligation under this paragraph will be pro-rated to reflect the commencement and termination dates of this Lease.

NOTICES

ENTRY BY

LESSOR

 

24. Lessee shall permit Lessor and his agents to enter into and upon the Premises at all reasonable times, upon not less than one (1) business day’s verbal notice (except in cases of emergency, in which case no notice shall be required), for the purpose of inspecting the same or for the purpose of maintaining the building in which the Premises are situated, or for the purpose of making repairs, alterations or additions to any other portion of said building, including the erection and maintenance of such scaffolding, canopies, fences and props as may be required without any rebate of rent and without any liability to Lessee for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Premises thereby occasioned; and shall permit Lessor and his agents, at any time within ninety days prior to the expiration of this Lease, to place upon the Premises any usual or ordinary “For Sale” or “For Lease” signs (but such “For Lease” signs shall not be placed upon the Premises less than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the Lease) and exhibit the Premises to prospective tenants at reasonable hours. In connection with any such entry, Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises and to comply with Tenant’s reasonable security measures.

DESTRUCTION

OF

PREMISES

 

25. In the event of a partial destruction of the Premises during the term of this Lease from any cause insured against by insurance carried, or required to be carried, by Lessor under this Lease, Lessor shall forthwith repair the same, provided such repairs can be made within one (1) year under the laws and regulations of State, Federal, County or Municipal authorities, but such partial destruction shall in no way annul or void this Lease, except that Lessee shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of rent while such repairs are being made, such proportionate reduction to be based upon the extent to which the making of such repairs shall interfere with the business carried on by Lessee in the Premises. If the cause of such repairs is not so insured or cannot be made in one (1) year, Lessor may, at his option, make same within a reasonable time, this Lease continuing in full force and effect and the rent to be proportionately reduced as aforesaid in this paragraph provided. In the event that Lessor does not so elect to make such repairs the cause of which is not so insured or cannot be made in one (1) year, or such repairs cannot be made under such laws and regulations, this Lease may be terminated at the option of either party. In respect to any partial destruction which Lessor is obligated to repair or may elect to repair under the terms of this paragraph, the provision of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and of Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the Civil Code of the State of California are waived by Lessee. A total destruction of the building in which the Premises may be situated shall terminate this Lease. In the event of any dispute between Lessor and Lessee relative to the provisions of this paragraph, they shall each select an arbitrator, the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator and the three arbitrators so selected shall hear and determine the controversy and their decision thereon shall be final and binding upon both Lessor and Lessee, who shall bear the cost of such arbitration equally between them.

 

ASSIGNMENT

AND SUBLET-

TING

 

26. The Lessee shall not assign, transfer, or hypothecate the leasehold estate under this Lease, or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other person or entity to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Lessor. Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a subletting or assignment. The Lessee shall, by thirty (30) days written notice, advise the Lessor of its intent to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof for any part of the term hereof, which notice shall include a description of all of the material terms of such assignment or subletting, and a reasonably detailed description of the proposed assignee or sublessee and its business and financial condition. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Lessee’s notice, Lessor shall either give approval to Lessee to assign the Lease or sublease the portion of the Premises described in Lessee’s notice, or notify Lessee of Lessor’s disapproval. In addition, Lessor shall have the right to terminate this Lease in its entirety on the date specified in Lessee’s notice if Lessee’s notice proposes an assignment of the Lease or if the portion of the Premises described in Lessee’s notice to be sublet constitutes more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the floor area of the building. If Lessor elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to the preceding sentence, this Lease shall be terminated on the date specified in Lessee’s notice. If the Lessor approves an assignment or subletting, the Lessee may assign or sublet immediately after receipt of the Lessor’s written approval. In the event Lessee is allowed to assign, transfer or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, with the prior written consent of Lessor, then no assignee, transferee or sublessee shall assign or transfer this Lease, either in whole or in part, or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, without also having obtained the prior written consent of the Lessor. In the event of any approved assignment or subletting, Lessee shall pay to the Lessor, as additional rental, fifty percent (50%) of all assignment proceeds and rents received by the Lessee from its assignee or sublessee which are in excess of the amount payable by the Lessee to the Lessor hereunder, after deducting the amount of any market rate real estate brokerage commissions paid by Lessee in connection with the assignment or subletting. A consent of Lessor to one assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use by any other person shall not release Lessee from any of Lessee’s obligations hereunder or be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent similar or dissimilar assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use by any other person. Any such assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use without such consent shall be void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Lessee and shall, at the option of Lessor exercised by written notice to Lessee, terminate this Lease. The leasehold estate under this Lease shall not, nor shall any interest therein, be assignable for any purpose by operation of law without the written consent of Lessor. As a condition to its consent, Lessor may require Lessee to pay all expenses in connection with the assignment (not to exceed $2,000 per request), and Lessor may require Lessee’s assignee or transferee (or other assignees or transferees) to assume in writing all of the obligations under this Lease.

 

Any dissolution, or merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Lessee into another entity, or the sale or other transfer in the aggregate over the term of the Lease of a controlling percentage of the capital stock of Lessee (excluding transfers over a national securities exchange, or any issuance of Lessee’s stock other than in connection with a transaction requiring Lessor’s consent pursuant to this sentence), or the sale or transfer of all or a substantial

 

6 of 10


   portion (i.e., more than fifty percent (50%) in value) of the assets of Lessee, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of Lessee’s interest in this Lease; provided that, a merger, consolidation, reorganization or sale of assets shall not require Lessor’s consent hereunder unless Lessee’s tangible net worth (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) immediately after such transaction is less than Lessee’s tangible net worth immediately prior to such transaction. The phrase “controlling percentage” means the ownership of and the right to vote stock possessing more than fifty percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of Lessee’s capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote for the election of directors. If Lessee is a partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of Law, of any general partner, or the dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of Lessee’s interest in this Lease. In the event that, through a merger, stock sale or other transaction, Lessee becomes the subsidiary of any other entity (a “parent”) and if Lessee’s tangible net worth (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) at any time after such merger, stock dale or other transaction is less than Lessee’s tangible net worth immediately prior to such transaction, Lessor shall have the right to require that the parent guaranty all of the Lessee’s obligations under the Lease pursuant to a form of guaranty reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Lessee, without Lessor’s prior written consent but with notice to Lessor, may sublet the Premises or assign this Lease to: (i) a subsidiary, affiliate, franchisee, division, corporation or other business entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Lessee; (ii) a successor business entity related to Lessee by merger, consolidation, acquisition, non-bankruptcy reorganization or government action provided such transaction does not require Lessor’s consent in accordance with this Paragraph 26; or (iii) a purchaser of substantially all of Lessee’s assets provided such transaction does not require Lessor’s consent in accordance with this Paragraph 26 (each, a “Permitted Transfer”, and each entity referenced herein a “Permitted Transferee”). Lessor’s right of recapture and Lessor’s right to excess rent shall not apply to a Permitted Transfer.

CONDEM- NATION

  

27. If any part of the Premises shall be taken for any public or quasi-public use, under any statute or by right of eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof, and a part thereof remains which is susceptible of occupation hereunder, this Lease shall, as to the part so taken, terminate as of the date title shall vest in the condemnor or purchaser, and the rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted so that the Lessee shall be required to pay for the remainder of the term only such portion of such rent as the value of the part remaining after such taking bears to the value of the entire Premises prior to such taking; but in such event Lessor shall have the option to terminate this Lease as of the date when title to the part so taken vests in the condemnor or purchaser. If all of the Premises, or such part thereof be taken so that there does not remain a portion susceptible for occupation hereunder, this Lease shall thereupon terminate. If a part or all of the Premises be taken, all compensation awarded upon such taking shall go to the Lessor and the Lessee shall have no claim thereto; provided that the Lessee shall have the right to make a separate claim for loss of good will and relocation expenses so long as such claim does not diminish the Lessor’s claim.

EFFECT OF CONVEYANCE   

28. The term “Lessor” as used in this Lease, means only the owner for the time being of the land and building containing the Premises, so that, in the event of any sale of said land or building, the Lessor shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of the Lessor hereunder accruing thereafter, and it shall be deemed and construed, without further agreement between the parties and the purchaser at any such sale, that the purchaser of the building has assumed and agreed to carry out any and all covenants and obligations of the Lessor hereunder. If any security be given by the Lessee to secure the faithful performance of all or any of the covenants of this Lease on the part of the Lessee, the Lessor shall transfer and deliver the security, as such, to the purchaser at any such sale, and thereupon the Lessor shall be discharged from any further liability in reference thereto.

SUBORDI- NATION

  

29. Lessee agrees that this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument of security which has been or shall be placed on the land and building or land or building of which the Premises form a part, and this subordination is hereby made effective without any further act of Lessee. The Lessee shall, at any time hereinafter, on demand, execute any instruments, releases, or other documents that may be required by any mortgagee, mortgagor, or trustor or beneficiary under any deed of trust for the purpose of subjecting and subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument of security, and the failure of the Lessee to execute any such instruments, releases or documents, shall constitute a default hereunder. Notwithstanding Lessee’s obligations, and the subordination of the Lease, under this paragraph 29, no mortgagee, trustee or beneficiary under any deed of trust or other instrument of security which may be placed on the Premises shall have the right to terminate the Lease or disturb Lessee’s occupancy thereunder so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Lease. Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, prior to the Commencement Date, a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from any current holder of a mortgage or deed of trust on, or the ground lessor of, the Premises on commercially reasonable terms (an “SNDA”).

WAIVER

  

30. The waiver by Lessor of any breach of any term, covenant or condition, herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition therein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Lessor’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.

HOLDING OVER

  

31. Any holding over after the expiration or other termination of the term of this Lease with the written consent of Lessor, shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month, at a rental to be negotiated by Lessor and Lessee prior to the expiration of said term, and shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions herein specified, so far as applicable. Any holding over after the expiration or other termination of the term of this Lease without the written consent of Lessor shall be construed to be a tenancy at sufferance on all the terms set forth herein, except that the Base Monthly Rent shall be an amount equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Base Monthly Rent payable by Lessee immediately prior to such holding over, or the fair market rent for the Premises as of such date, whichever is greater.

SUCCESSORS AND

ASSIGNS

  

32. The covenants and conditions herein contained shall, subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of all of the parties hereto; and all of the parties hereto shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder.

TIME

  

33. Time is of the essence of this Lease.

Health & Safety Code § 39000 et seq., and (n) regulations promulgated pursuant to said laws or any replacement thereof, or as similar terms are defined in the federal, state and local laws, statutes, regulations, orders or rules. The term “Hazardous Materials” shall also mean any and all other biohazardous wastes and substances, materials and wastes which are, or in the future become, regulated under applicable Laws for the protection of health or the environment, or which are classified as hazardous or toxic substances, materials or wastes, pollutants or contaminants, as defined, listed or regulated by any federal, state or local law, regulation or order or by common law decision.

35.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Lessee, at its sole cost, shall comply with all Laws relating to the storage, use and disposal of Hazardous Materials; provided, however, that Lessee shall not be responsible for contamination of the Premises by Hazardous Materials (a) existing as of the date the Premises are delivered to Lessee unless caused by Lessee, or (b) migrating from outside the Premises unless caused by Lessee. Lessee shall not store, use or dispose of any Hazardous Materials except for those Hazardous Materials (“Permitted Materials”) which are (a) listed in a Hazardous Materials management plan (“HMMP”) which Lessee shall submit to appropriate governmental authorities as and when required under applicable Laws, and (b) are either normal quantities of ordinary office or cleaning supplies or are approved in writing by Lessor. Lessee may use, store and dispose of Permitted Materials provided that (i) such Permitted Materials are used, stored, transported, and disposed of in strict compliance with applicable Laws, and (ii) such Permitted Materials shall be limited to the materials listed on and may be used only in the quantities specified in the HMMP. In no event shall Lessee cause or permit to be discharged into the plumbing or sewage system of the Premises or onto the land underlying or adjacent to the Premises any Hazardous Materials. If the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Premises caused or permitted by Lessee results in contamination or deterioration of water or soil, then Lessee shall promptly take any and all action necessary to clean up such contamination as required by applicable laws, but the foregoing shall in no event be deemed to constitute permission by Lessor to allow the presence of such Hazardous Materials.

  

35.3 Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor in writing of:

  

(a) Any enforcement, cleanup, removal, or other governmental or regulatory action instituted, completed or threatened against Lessee related to any Hazardous Materials;

  

(b) Any claim made or threatened by any person against Lessee or the Premises relating to damage, contribution, cost recovery compensation, loss or injury resulting from or claimed to result from any Hazardous Materials; and,

  

(c) Any reports made to any environmental agency arising out of or in connection with any Hazardous Materials in, discharged at, or removed from the Premises, including any complaints, notices, warnings or asserted violations in connection therewith.

  

Lessee shall also supply to Lessor as promptly as possible, and in any event within five (5) business days after Lessee first receives or sends the same, with copies of all claims, reports, complaints, notices, warnings or asserted violations related in any way to the existence of Hazardous Materials at, in, under or about the Premises or Lessee’s use thereof. Lessee shall, upon Lessor’s request, promptly deliver to Lessor copies of any documents or information relating to the use, storage or disposal of Hazardous Material on or from the Premises.

  

35.4 Upon termination or expiration of the Lease, Lessee at its sole expense shall cause all Hazardous Materials placed in or about the Premises, by Lessee, its agents, contractors, or invitees, and all installations (whether interior or exterior) made by or on behalf of Lessee relating to the storage, use, disposal or transportation of Hazardous Materials to be removed from the property and transported for use, storage or disposal hi accordance and compliance with all Laws and other requirements respecting Hazardous Materials used or permitted to be used by Lessee. Lessee shall apply for and shall obtain from all appropriate regulatory authorities (including any applicable fire department or regional water quality control board) all permits, approvals and clearances necessary for the closure of the Premises and shall take all other actions as may be required to complete the closure of the Premises. In addition, prior to vacating the Premises, Lessee shall, upon Lessor’s request (which request Lessor shall make only if Lessor has reason to believe there may have been a release of Hazardous Materials on or about

 

8 of 10


  

the Premises during the term of the Lease), undertake and submit to Lessor an environmental site assessment from an environmental consulting company reasonably acceptable to Lessor which site assessment shall evidence Lessee’s compliance with this Paragraph 35.

  

35.5 At any time prior to expiration of the Lease term, subject to reasonable prior notice (not less than forty-eight (48) hours) and Lessee’s reasonable security requirements and provided such activities do not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Lessee’s business at the Leased Premises, Lessor shall have the right to enter in and upon the Premises in order to conduct appropriate tests of water and soil to determine whether levels of any Hazardous Materials in excess of legally permissible levels has occurred as a result of Lessee’s use thereof. Lessor shall furnish copies of all such test results and reports to Lessee and, at Lessee’s option and cost, shall permit split sampling for testing and analysis by Lessee. Such testing shall be at Lessee’s expense if Lessor has a reasonable basis for suspecting and confirms the presence of Hazardous Materials in the soil or surface or ground water in, on, under, or about the Premises, which has been caused by or resulted from the activities of Lessee, its agents, contractors, or invitees.

  

35.6 Lessor may voluntarily cooperate in a reasonable manner with the efforts of all governmental agencies in reducing actual or potential environmental damage. Lessee shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or to any reduction in or abatement of rent by reason of such compliance or cooperation. Lessee agrees at all times to cooperate fully with the requirements and recommendations of governmental agencies regulating, or otherwise involved in, the protection of the environment.

  

35.7 Lessee shall indemnify, defend by counsel reasonably acceptable to Lessor, protect and hold Lessor and each of Lessor’s partners, employees, agents, attorneys, successors, and assignees, free and harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, penalties, forfeitures, losses or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) or death of or injury to any person or damage to any property whatsoever arising from or caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly by (A) the presence in, or under or about the Premises or discharge in or from the Premises of any Hazardous Materials caused by Lessee, its agents, employees, invitees, contractors, assignees, or Lessee’s use, analysis, storage, transportation, disposal, release, threatened release, discharge or generation of Hazardous Materials to, in, on, under, about or from the leased Premises, or (B) Lessee’s failure to comply with any Hazardous Materials Law. Lessee’s obligations hereunder shall include, without limitation, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, all costs, of any repair, cleanup or detoxification or decontamination of the Premises required by by any applicable law, and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial action or other required plans in connection therewith, and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease. For purposes of indemnity provision hereof, any actions or omissions of Lessee or by employees, agents, assignees, contractors or subcontractors of Lessee or others acting for or on behalf of Lessee (whether or not they are negligent, intentional, willful or unlawful) shall be strictly attributable to Lessee.

  

35.8 To the actual knowledge of Lessor, no Hazardous Material is present on or about the Premises or the soil, surface water or groundwater thereof in violation of applicable laws. Under no circumstance shall Lessee be liable for any losses, costs, claims, liabilities and damages (including attorneys’ and consultants’ fees) arising from the presence of any Hazardous Material on or about the Premises (a) on or prior to the Commencement Date and not caused by Lessee or its agents, employees or contractors, or (b) caused by Lessor or its agents, employees or contractors.

LESSOR’S RIGHT

TO PERFORM

  

36. If Lessee shall fail to perform any obligation or covenant pursuant to this Lease within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 15 days) following notice from Lessor to do so, then Lessor may, at its election and without waiving any other remedy it may otherwise have under this Lease or at law, perform such obligation or covenant and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as Additional Rent, the costs incurred by Lessor in performing such obligation or covenant.

 

OPTION TO

EXTEND

  

37. Provided that Lessee is not in default under the Lease after applicable notice and cure periods and has faithfully performed its obligations under the Lease within applicable notice and cure periods, Lessee shall have one (1) option to extend the term of this Lease (“Option to Extend”) for a period of two (2) years commencing March 1, 2010 (“Option Period”) on all the same terms and conditions of the Lease excepting that there shall be no additional options to extend and excepting the Base Monthly Rent which shall be at the then current fair market rental value for the Premises as improved (“FMV”). However, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, in no event shall the Base Monthly Rent for the Option Period be less than that being paid during the month most immediately preceding the Option Period without the consent of Lessor. In establishing FMV for the Premises, the parties shall consider only direct leases for comparable office/R&D space in Santa Clara occurring during the six months most immediately preceding the Lessee’s exercise of this Option to Extend (“Comparable Leases”), taking into consideration the terms and conditions of this Lease and Comparable Leases and the condition of, and state of improvements in, the Premises and the premises demised under Comparable Leases. This Option to Extend shall be personal to Lessee and Permitted Transferees and may not be transferred through assignment or sublease without the express written consent of Lessor.

  

Lessee shall exercise its Option to Extend by giving written notice to Lessor of its intent to do so not less than three (3) months nor more than six (6) months prior to the Option Period. Lessor and Lessee shall negotiate FMV within thirty (30) days following Lessee’s written notice as set forth above. In the event Lessor and Lessee cannot agree upon FMV within the thirty-day period set forth above, then each party shall within five (5) days, appoint a licensed commercial real estate broker who is active in commercial and industrial leasing in Santa Clara County and the two brokers so appointed shall meet within twenty-one (21) days of the second broker’s appointment to make a determination of FMV. The determination of the brokers as set forth herein shall be binding upon Lessor and Lessee. If the two brokers cannot reach agreement within five (5) days of their initial meeting, then the two shall immediately thereafter appoint a third broker with the same qualifications and within twenty-one (21) days of the third brokers’ appointment, all three brokers shall meet to make a determination of FMV. If agreement cannot be reached, then the two closest opinions of FMV shall be averaged, and the resulting figure shall become the Base Monthly Rent for the Option Period and be binding on Lessor and Lessee. Lessor and Lessee shall pay the fee of their respective broker and shall share the cost of the third broker, if necessary.

FURNITURE & EQUIPMENT   

38. With the exception of the server racks presently located in the large lab which shall be removed by the current tenant, Lessee shall be permitted to use at no additional charge and without warranty during the term of this Lease, Lessor’s cubicles, furniture, server room racks, phone and security systems (collectively hereinafter “Lessor’s Personal Property”) as set forth in a detailed Asset Inventory incorporated herein as Exhibit “A” to this Lease. The telephone and security systems and data links connected to the cubicles and server room shall be delivered to Lessee in their current condition and locations in the Premises as of the date hereof. Upon expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Lessee shall surrender the Premises, leaving all of Lessor’s Personal Property in the same good condition as delivered to Lessee by Lessor, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

TENANT IMPROVEMENTS   

39. Lessor shall, at its sole expense, demise the large existing lab room into two separate labs, add an additional six (6) tons of HVAC capacity to the existing server room, re-lamp existing light fixtures, replace missing or stained ceiling tiles and touch up paint throughout the Premises, as necessary and perform the other work described on Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Tenant Improvements”). Lessor shall construct the Tenant Improvements through its general contractor, Vance Brown, Inc. and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Tenant Improvements to be substantially complete within fifteen (15) days after the Commencement Date. The term “substantially complete” shall mean complete but for minor items such that Lessee is able to occupy and use the Premises without material interference. The Tenant Improvements shall be constructed in accordance with applicable laws, in a good and workmanlike manner, free of defects and using new materials and equipment of good quality. Lessee shall have the right to submit a written “punch list” to Lessor, setting forth any materially defective item of construction, and Lessor shall promptly cause such items to be corrected. If Lessor fails to substantially complete the Tenant Improvements within fifteen (15) days after the Commencement Date, the dates set forth in Section 4, commencing with February 28, 2007 shall be delayed by one (1) day for each day substantial completion is delayed beyond such date, except to the extent such delay results from Tenant’s acts or omissions (such as change orders or interference with the progress of the work) or from force majeure. All additional improvements required by Lessee in conjunction with the Tenant Improvements or to be performed prior to occupancy shall be constructed by Vance Brown and paid for by Lessee in cash directly to Vance Brown, Inc.; provided, however, Lessee shall have the right to install itself new server racks in the server room of the Premises. For all subsequent tenant improvement work to be performed on the Premises by Lessee during the Lease Term, Lessee shall select its own contractor pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 9 of this Lease. See existing improvement plan and new Tenant Improvement plan attached hereto as Exhibit B.

APPROVALS

  

40. Whenever this Lease requires an approval, consent, determination, selection or judgment by either Lessor or Lessee, unless another standard is expressly set forth, such approval, consent, determination, selection or judgment and any conditions imposed thereby shall be reasonable and shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
