Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused by or resulting from any variation, interruption or failure of such services due to any cause whatsoever, and no temporary interruption or failure of such services incident to the making of repairs, alterations or improvements or due to accident or strike conditions shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant or relieve Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

 

If Tenant requires electrical, mechanical, cooling, heating, ventilation, or other requirements beyond the usage by a typical tenant, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, then the cost of furnishing, installing, operating and maintaining the equipment and appurtenances (including separate meters if requested by Landlord to satisfy these requirements) shall be borne by Tenant, with Tenant cither paying directly to the utility if separately metered or paying to Landlord, as Rent, the reasonable cost of providing such additional services, as determined by Landlord.

 

The Building standard mechanical system is designed to accommodate heating loads generated by lights and equipment using up to 3.5 watts per square foot which costs are incorporated into the Basic Rent. Before installing lights or equipment in the Premises, which in the aggregate exceed such amount, Tenant shall obtain the written permission of Landlord. Landlord may refuse to grant such permission unless Tenant shall agree to pay Landlord’s costs to install supplementary air conditioning capacity or electrical systems as necessitated by such equipment or lights or if the equipment or lights requested by Tenant will, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, overburden the Building’s structure or mechanical system(s) even if supplemented at Tenant’s expense.

 

11.        Assignment and Subletting.

 

11.1       Transfers Requiring Consent. Tenant shall not cause or permit, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, any of the following events (individually and collectively, a “Transfer”) (or any amendment to the instrument affecting the same) without in each case first obtaining Landlord’s written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed: (1) a sale, assignment, hypothecation, mortgage, encumbrance, conveyance or other transfer of this Lease (or any interest therein); (2) a sublease of the Premises or any portion thereof; or (3) the use or occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof by anyone other than Tenant. If Tenant is a corporation, any transfer of this Lease by merger, consolidation or liquidation, or change in the ownership of, or power to vote, its outstanding voting stock (including redemption thereof), separately or in the aggregate, majority voting control, shall constitute a Transfer. If Tenant is a partnership or limited liability company, any transfer of this Lease by merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of the partnership or limited liability company, or any change in the ownership of a majority of the partnership or membership interests shall constitute a Transfer. As a condition to Landlord’s approval, any potential assignee otherwise approved by Landlord shall assume and shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant for all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and any sublessee shall assume and shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant for all obligations of Tenant under this Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises that is subleased to such sublessee.

Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with any additional information concerning the proposed transferee (including financial information and detailed information regarding the proposed use of the Premises) reasonably requested by Landlord. In addition to exercising its right to disapprove of the Transfer, Landlord may elect at any time during such sixty (60) day period, (i) in the case of a Transfer for the balance of the Term, to terminate this Lease as it relates to such space proposed to be subleased by Tenant, or (ii) in the case of a Transfer for less than the balance of the Term, to temporarily delete such space from this Lease for the period of the proposed Transfer term only, in which either event Basic Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be adjusted as appropriate. In the event Landlord chooses not to exercise its rights under the preceding sentence and approves the Transfer under Section 11.1, then Tenant may proceed to enter into such Transfer. If Tenant transfers this Lease for more than the Rent then payable under this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the excess amount of rent or other consideration over the Rent reserved herein, as and when received by Tenant, as Rent hereunder. Landlord may charge Tenant a reasonable sum, to reimburse Landlord for legal and administrative costs incurred in connection with reviewing any proposed Transfer and Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of the assignment or sublease agreement. No Transfer shall relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease. Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for consent to any subsequent Transfer.

 

11.3       Bankruptcy. If this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Revised Bankruptcy Act, 11 U.S.C., Section 101, et seq., any and all consideration paid or payable in connection with such assignment shall be Landlord’s exclusive property and paid or delivered to Landlord, and shall not constitute the property of Tenant or Tenant’s estate in bankruptcy. Any person or entity to whom the Lease is assigned pursuant to the Revised Bankruptcy Act shall be deemed automatically to have assumed all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

12.        Care of Premises. Tenant shall keep the Premises in a neat, clean and sanitary condition and shall at all times preserve them in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear or damage due to casualty or condemnation that are not the obligation of Tenant to repair under Section 16 excepted. If Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may at its option place the Premises into said condition and state of repair, and in such case Tenant on demand shall pay or reimburse Landlord for the costs thereof. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of replacing all broken glass in the Premises (or the Common Areas if damage is the result of the negligence or intentional acts of Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees) with glass of same or similar quality.

Tenant shall observe such reasonable rules and regulations concerning Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises or related to the Common Areas as may be adopted by Landlord from time to time and made available to Tenant.

 

13.       Surrender of Premises; Removal of Property. Subject to the terms of Section 16 relating to damage and destruction, upon expiration or termination of the Term, whether by lapse of time or otherwise (including any holdover period), Tenant at its expense shall: (1) remove Tenant’s goods and effects and those of all persons claiming under Tenant, (2) repair and restore the Premises to a condition as good as received by Tenant from Landlord or as thereafter improved, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and (3) promptly and peacefully surrender the Premises (including surrender of all Tenant Improvements and/or other alterations, additions or improvements installed in the Premises by Landlord or Tenant, except Tenant’s trade fixtures that do not become part of the Building and the Required Removals as hereinafter defined) (the requirements of this sentence referred to as the “Restoration Obligation”). On or before the ninetieth (90th) day preceding the Expiration Date, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the precise date upon which Tenant plans to surrender the premises to Landlord. On expiration of the Term, Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s moveable equipment, furniture, trade fixtures and other personal property, all telecommunications and computer networking wiring and cabling serving the Premises from the Building, unless Landlord requires such materials to be surrendered to Landlord, and any alteration or Tenant Improvement identified by Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the Expiration Date (or within 30 days following the early termination of this Lease) (collectively the Required Removals”). Any property of Tenant not removed from the Premises shall be deemed, at Landlord’s option, to be abandoned by Tenant and Landlord may store such property in Tenant’s name at Tenant’s expense, and/or dispose of the same in any manner permitted by law at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall repair at its sole cost and expense, all damage caused to the Premises or the Building by removal of the Required Removals, Improvements and Alterations as Tenant shall be allowed or required to remove from the Premises by Landlord. If the Premises are not surrendered as of the end of the Term in the manner and condition herein specified, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord, its employees, agents and contractors harmless from and against any and all damages resulting from or caused by Tenant’s delay or failure in so surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant due to such delay or failure. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall be attempting to lease the Premises with any such lease to be effective upon expiration of the Term, and failure to surrender the Premises could cause Landlord to incur liability to such successor tenant for which Tenant shall be responsible. Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages that may be reasonably caused by Landlord’s reentering and taking possession of the Premises or removing and storing Tenant’s property as herein provided, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord therefrom. No such reentry shall be considered or construed to be a forcible entry.

Landlord may require that all Work be performed under Landlord’s supervision, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any actual costs reasonably incurred as a result of such supervision which shall not be charged for the installation of the Tenant Improvements noted in Section 5. Tenant shall maintain a safe working environment, including the continuation of all fire and security protection devices, if any, previously installed in the Premises by Landlord. All damages or injury done to the Premises or the Building by Tenant or by any persons who may be in or upon the Premises or the Building with the express or implied consent of Tenant, including but not limited to the cracking or breaking of any glass of windows and doors, shall be paid for by Tenant and Tenant shall pay for all damage to the Building caused by acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant’s officers, contractors, subcontractors, agents, invitees, licensees, employees, successors or assigns. If Landlord consents to or supervises any Work by Tenant, the same shall not be deemed a warranty as to the adequacy of the design, workmanship or quality of materials, and Landlord hereby expressly disclaims any responsibility or liability for the same, except with respect to Landlord’s intentional misconduct. Landlord shall under no circumstances have any obligation to repair, maintain or replace any portion of any Work. All alterations, additions and improvements except Tenant’s trade fixtures that do not become a part of the Building shall remain in and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord may identify Required Removals on Tenant’s plans. Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws, codes and regulations in connection with all Work.

Landlord at all reasonable times and upon one day’s prior notice (except in the and at any time in case of emergency) may enter the Premises for the purpose of inspection, cleaning, repairing, altering or improving the Premises or the Building subject to Tenant’s reasonable security requirements. Nothing in this Section 15 shall impose upon Landlord any obligation not expressly imposed elsewhere in this Lease. Landlord shall have the right at reasonable times to enter the Premises for the purpose of showing the Premises to any fee owners, ground lessors, holders of encumbrances on the interest of Landlord and any prospective purchasers, mortgagees, ground lessors or tenants of the Building or a portion thereof. If during the last month of the Term Tenant shall have removed substantially all of Tenant’s property and personnel from the Premises, Landlord may enter the Premises and repair, alter and redecorate the same without abatement of Rent and without liability to Tenant, and such acts shall have no effect on this Lease.

In the event of such election this Lease shall be deemed to terminate on the third (3rd) day after the giving of such notice, and Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises within thirty (30) days thereafter, and the Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of Tenant’s surrender and any Rent paid for any period beyond such date shall be repaid to Tenant. If the cost of restoration as estimated by Landlord shall amount to less than thirty percent (30%) of said replacement value of the Building and insurance proceeds sufficient for restoration are available, or if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease under the second sentence of this Section 16.1. then Landlord shall restore the Building and the Premises (to the extent of the Tenant Improvements originally provided by Landlord hereunder) with reasonable promptness, subject to delays beyond Landlord’s control and delays in the making of insurance adjustments by Landlord, and Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease. To the extent that the Premises are rendered untenantable, Rent shall proportionally abate during the period of such untenantability, unless such damage resulted from or was contributed to directly or indirectly by the act, fault or neglect of Tenant, Tenant’s officers, contractors, subcontractors, agents, employees, invitees or licensees, in which case Rent shall abate only to the extent Landlord receives proceeds from any rental income insurance policy to compensate Landlord for a loss of Rent hereunder.

At the option of Landlord, any rents received by Landlord from any reletting as described in Section 22.2.1 shall be applied first to the payment of any indebtedness from Tenant to Landlord other than Rent; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting and including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, advertising fees and brokerage fees, and to the payment of any repairs, renovations, remodeling, redecoration, alterations and changes in the Premises; third, to the payment of Rent due and to become due hereunder, and, if after so applying said rents there is any deficiency in the Rent to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord monthly on the dates specified herein and any payment made or suits brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any months shall not prejudice in any way the right of Landlord to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month.

19
 

  

22.2.3      Termination. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination as described in Section 22.2.1, Landlord may at any time elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach and default. Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease by reason of any default, in addition to any other remedies it may have, Landlord may recover from Tenant the present value of the entire amount of Rent reserved by this Lease for the balance of the Term, as it may have been extended, over the then fair market rental value of the Premises for the same period, plus all reasonable expenses, including court costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord in the collection of the same.

 

22.3       Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies of Landlord herein enumerated shall be cumulative, and none shall exclude any other right or remedy allowed by law.

 

22.4       Right to Perform. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, required to be paid by Tenant to a person or entity other than Landlord or shall fail to perform any other act to be performed by Tenant hereunder, and such failure shall continue for twenty (20) days after notice thereof by Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated so to do, and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, make any such payment or perform any such other act on Tenant’s part to be made or performed as provided in this Lease. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Landlord may undertake repairs in an emergency or to prevent further damage to the Building or the Premises without delivery of notice and expiration of the cure period. Tenant shall promptly on demand reimburse Landlord for any such payment or the cost of performing any such act, and shall pay Landlord interest thereon at the rate provided in Section 22.5.

 

22.5       Late Payments. All Rent not paid within three (3) days of the due date hereunder shall bear interest from the date due at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less. In addition to any interest that may be charged hereunder, if Tenant has been late in any payment more than once in any twelve (12) month period, then Landlord, at its option, may collect from Tenant a service charge for the collection of any subsequent payment during that twelve (12) month period that is not made within three (3) days of the due date in the amount equal to four percent (4%) of the amount due.

 

22.6       Waiver of Redemption Rights. Tenant, for itself and on behalf of any and all persons claiming through or under it, including creditors of all kinds, does hereby waive and surrender all right and privilege, which they or any of them may have under or by reason of any present or future law, to redeem the Premises or have a continuance of this Lease for the term hereof, as it may have been extended, after having been dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law or under the terms of this Lease or after the termination of this Lease as herein provided.

20
 

 

23.        Subordination to Mortgage. This Lease is and shall be subordinate to any mortgage or deed of trust placed at any time on the Building or the Property by Landlord and to any and all advances to be made thereunder and to interest thereon and all modifications, renewals and replacements or extensions thereof (“Landlord’s Mortgage”), and Tenant shall attorn to the holder of any Landlord’s Mortgage or any person or persons purchasing or otherwise acquiring the Building, the Property or the Premises at any sale or other proceeding under any Landlord’s Mortgage; provided, however, that so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, Tenant’s possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed and all other rights of Tenant under this Lease shall be recognized; provided, further, that Tenant’s attornment shall be deemed to occur automatically without further agreement of Tenant. If the holder or prospective holder of any Landlord’s Mortgage wishes to have this Lease as a prior lien to the Landlord’s Mortgage, it shall be so deemed upon the holder thereof so notifying Tenant. Tenant shall properly execute and deliver within ten (10) business days after written notice any documents Landlord or the holder of any Landlord’s Mortgage may require to carry out the provisions of this section. If, in connection with obtaining financing for the Property or the Building, any holder of a Landlord’s Mortgage shall request modifications in this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant shall not withhold, delay or defer its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not materially increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created.

 

24.        Holdover. If Tenant shall, with the written consent of Landlord, hold over beyond the expiration of the Term, which hold over shall include Tenant’s failure to complete its Restoration Obligation, or if Landlord shall so notify Tenant at any time upon or after the expiration of the Term, such tenancy shall be deemed a month-to-month tenancy that may be terminated as provided by applicable state law. During such tenancy Tenant shall be bound by all the terms, covenants and conditions as herein specified as far as applicable, except rental, which shall be One Hundred Fifty Percent (150%) of the Rent due prior to the expiration of the Term.

 

25.        Notices. All notices under this Lease shall be in writing and delivered in person or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or sent by overnight courier to Landlord and to Tenant at the addresses set forth on the signature page of this Lease (except that, after the Lease commences, any such notice may be so mailed or delivered by hand to Tenant at the Premises), and to the holder of any Landlord’s Mortgage at such place as such holder shall specify to Tenant in writing; or to such other addresses as may from time to time be designated by any such party in writing. Notices mailed as aforesaid shall be deemed given at the earlier of three (3) days after the date of such mailing or upon the date of receipt.

 

26.        Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. If Landlord employs attorneys in connection with the enforcement of this Lease, then Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for all reasonable attorneys’ fees (including court costs and disbursements) so incurred, regardless of whether suit is commenced. If Tenant or Landlord shall bring any action arising out of this Lease, the losing party shall reimburse the prevailing party for all reasonable attorneys’ fees (including court costs and disbursements) incurred in such suit, at trial and on appeal, and such attorneys’ fees shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action.

 

21
 

 

27.        Estoppel Certificates. Tenant, shall, from time to time, upon written request of Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord or its designee a written statement stating: the date this Lease was executed and the date it expires; the Commencement Date and the date Tenant accepted the Premises; the amount of Basic Rent and any then applicable Additional Rent and any other sums payable under the Lease and date to which such rent and/or other sums have been paid; and certifying to the best of its knowledge: that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been assigned, ratified, supplemented or amended in any way (or specifying the date and terms of any agreement so affecting this Lease); that this Lease represents the entire agreement between the parties as to this tenancy (or specifying the date and terms of any other agreements as to this tenancy); that all conditions under this Lease to be performed by the Landlord have been satisfied (or specifying any such unsatisfied conditions and the extent to which such conditions are unsatisfied); that all required contributions by Landlord to Tenant on account of the Tenant Improvements have been received (or specifying the nature and amount of any such contributions that have not been received); that on this date there are no existing claims, defenses or offsets that the Tenant has against the enforcement of this Lease by the Landlord (or specifying the nature and amount of any such claims, defenses or offsets); that no Rent has been paid more than one month in advance (or specifying the amount and payment dates of any Rent that has been so paid); the amount of the Security Deposit held by Landlord (if any); and any other information or items reasonably requested by Landlord. It is intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this Section 27 may be relied upon by Landlord and any prospective purchaser of or prospective holder of any mortgage upon Landlord’s interest in the Building and/or the Property. If Tenant shall fail to provide such estoppel certificate within ten (10) business days of receipt by Tenant of a written request by Landlord as herein provided, Tenant shall be deemed to have given such certificate as above provided without modification and shall be deemed to have admitted the accuracy of any information supplied by Landlord to any prospective purchaser or mortgagee and to have certified that this Lease is in full force and effect, that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, that the Security Deposit is as stated in the Lease, and that not more than one month’s Rent has been paid in advance.

 

28.        Transfer of Landlord’s Interest; Limitation of Liability. In the event of any transfer or transfers of Landlord’s interest in the Premises or in the Building, other than a transfer for security purposes only, the transferor shall be automatically relieved of any and all obligations and liabilities on the part of Landlord accruing from and after the date of such transfer. Tenant agrees to attorn to the transferee, such attornment shall be deemed to occur automatically without further agreement of Tenant. Notwithstanding any other Lease provision, all covenants, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of Landlord are made and intended not as personal covenants, undertakings and agreements for the purpose of binding Landlord personally or the assets of Landlord except Landlord’s interest in the Building and the Property, but are made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Landlord’s interest in the Building and the Property, as the same may from time to time be encumbered. No personal liability or personal responsibility is assumed by, nor shall at any time be asserted or enforceable against Landlord or its partners, members, shareholders, directors and officers or their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns on account of this Lease or on account of any covenant, undertaking or agreement of Landlord contained in this Lease.

 

22
 

 

29.        Nonwaiver. Waiver by Landlord of any term, covenant or condition herein contained or any breach thereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition or of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of any Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent.

 

30.        Quiet Possession. Landlord warrants that so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period and so long as this Lease has not been terminated, Tenant’s quiet possession of the Premises during the Term shall not be disturbed by Landlord or others claiming through Landlord.

 

31.        Application of Security Deposit. As security for the full and faithful performance of every covenant and condition of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, Tenant has paid to Landlord the Security Deposit specified in Section 1.6, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged. If Tenant shall default with respect to any covenant or condition of this Lease, including but not limited to the payment of Rent, then Landlord may apply all or any part of the Security Deposit to the payment of any sum in default or any sum which Landlord may be required to spend or incur by reason of Tenant’s default or any other sum which Landlord may in its reasonable discretion deem necessary to spend or incur by reason of Tenant’s default. In such event, Tenant within five (5) days of written demand therefor by Landlord shall deposit with Landlord the amount so applied. If Tenant shall have fully complied with all covenants and conditions of this Lease, but not otherwise, the amount of the Security Deposit then held by Landlord shall be repaid to Tenant (or at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder) within thirty (30) days after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. In the event of Tenant’s default, Landlord’s rights to retain the Security Deposit shall be deemed to be in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity available to Landlord for Tenant’s default under this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep any Security Deposit separate from its general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest thereon.
