SECTION 2: LEASE OF PREMISES.

2.1 Lease to Tenant. Landlord hereby leases the Premises to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases the Premises from Landlord, for the Term, subject to the other provisions of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree on the area of the Premises and the Project set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions. The term “rentable square feet” as used in the Lease will be the area of the Premises as determined in accordance with the Building Owners and Management Association Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings, ANSI Z65.l-1996, as modified by Landlord for purposes of the Buildings (the “BOMA Standard”).

2.2 Common Areas. Tenant shall have the nonexclusive right to use the Common Areas, subject to Matters of Record and the Rules and Regulations. Tenant’s rights are subject to Landlord’s right to make changes to the Common Areas or the use of such Common Areas which Landlord deems reasonable, perform maintenance and repairs and otherwise use the Common Areas as Landlord may deem appropriate in its reasonable judgment. Landlord shall not be obligated to light the Common Areas outside the hours specified in the Rules and Regulations except as required by Law.

2.3 Title. Tenant’s leasehold estate in the Premises under this Lease is subject to: (a) the Matters of Record; and (b) the effect of all Laws applicable to the use and occupancy of the Premises. Any modifications to the Matters of Record shall not materially adversely impact Tenant’s use of the Premises.

2.4 Acceptance of Premises. Tenant accepts the Premises, the Common Areas and Project in their “as-is, where-is” condition, provided Landlord shall upgrade the lighting in the restrooms using Building standard materials. Tenant hereby agrees and warrants that it has investigated and inspected the condition of the Premises and the suitability of same for Tenant’s purposes, and Tenant does hereby waive and disclaim any objection to, cause of action based upon, or claim that its obligations hereunder should be reduced or limited because of the condition of the Premises or the Building or the suitability of same for Tenant’s purposes. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent nor any employee of Landlord has made any representations 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 and Tenant expressly warrants and represents that Tenant has relied solely on its own investigation and inspection of the Premises and the Project in its decision to enter into this Lease and let the Premises in the above-described condition except as to latent defects and subject to problems or conditions of which Tenant gives Landlord notice within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date. Within thirty (30) days following the Commencement Date, Tenant shall complete, execute and return to Landlord a Statement of Commencement Date in the form of Exhibit “B” hereto. Acceptance of the Premises by Tenant in no way relieves Landlord its responsibilities to maintain and repair Systems, Equipment and the Common Area, as specified in Section 5.2 of this Lease.

2.5 Delivery of Possession.

   2.5.1 Landlord shall deliver to Tenant possession of the Premises free and clear of all other tenants and occupancies. Landlord shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of possession of the Premises, provided that Tenant shall not be liable for any payments of Rent until and unless Landlord delivers the Premises in accordance with this

 

3


Lease. Landlord makes no representation or warranty with respect to the occupancy by any tenant or occupant (whether a major tenant or occupant. or a small shop tenant or occupant), as to the date on which any such tenant or occupant accepted or will accept occupancy of its space or the use to which any other tenant or occupant will put its leased space, except as expressly provided herein.

   2.5.2 The projected delivery date is October 1, 2009. In the event that the Commencement Date has not occurred on or before December 31, 2009 (as extended by Force Majeure) (the “Cancellation Date”), then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to cancel this Lease by giving the other written notice within ten (l0) days after the Cancellation Date. If Landlord or Tenant timely gives such notice, Landlord shall repay Tenant any prepaid rent or security deposit, and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations to each other pursuant to this Lease. If neither party timely exercises such right, such right shall expire at the end of the tenth day after the Cancellation Date.

2.6 Quiet Possession. So long as Tenant is not in Default, Tenant shall be entitled to quietly have, hold, and enjoy the Premises during the Term, subject to Landlord’s rights under this Lease.

2.7 Use of Premises. Tenant and Tenant’s Employees shall use the Premises solely for the uses specified in the Basic Lease Provisions in a first-class, professional and businesslike manner consistent with reputable business standards and practices, and Tenant shall, at is sole cost and expense, faithfully observe and promptly comply with all Rules and Regulations, signage criteria and any Laws or Matters of Record now in force or which may hereafter be in force with respect to Tenant’s use, occupancy and possession of the Premises. Tenant shall at all times keep the Premises in a clean and wholesome condition, and shall further comply with all reasonable requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done upon the Premises in any way materially disturbing, bothering or annoying any other tenant in the Project or constituting a nuisance. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any damage or claims suffered or incurred as a result of the failure of Tenant, or any other Person (other than Landlord) to conform to the foregoing.

2.8 Changes to Project. Landlord reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time to make or allow permanent or temporary changes or replacements to the Project outside the Premises, including but not limited to the Common Areas. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such construction activities may include base building and/or tenant improvement work for future tenants. Landlord’s activities may require the temporary alteration of means of ingress and egress to the Project and the installation of scaffolding and other temporary structures while the work is in progress. Such work shall be performed in a manner reasonably designed to minimize interference with Tenant’s conduct of business from the Premises. None of the same shall be considered to be a constructive eviction of Tenant from the Premises, create any liability on the part of Landlord, or give Tenant any right to rent abatement or otherwise alter the rights or obligations (including Rent) of Tenant under this Lease.

2.9 Name of Project. Landlord may change the name and/or the address of the Project at its sole discretion.

Landlord shall have the right at any time, upon at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Tenant, to relocate Tenant at Landlord’s cost, including costs of replacement improvements, network, electrical, moving, startup and other costs which Tenant would otherwise not incur, to other comparable premises, as agreed by the parties in the Building (“Relocated Premises”). Tenant shall have right to terminate this Lease in the event proposed Relocated Premises are not agreed to be comparable upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord.

SECTION 3: RENT.

3.1 Base Rent. From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent specified in Section 1.7, in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Term without demand, deduction or setoff, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. If the Commencement Date shall be a day other than the first day of a month, then the first and last monthly installment of Tenant’s monthly installment of Base Rent shall be prorated on the basis of a thirty (30) day month. Tenant shall pay the first month’s Base Rent upon Lease execution, and thereafter on the first day of each month of the Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and provided that Tenant faithfully performs all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, Landlord hereby agrees to abate Tenant’s obligation to pay Monthly Base Rent for the first three (3) full months of each of the first three (3) years of the initial Term. During such abatement period, Tenant shall still be responsible for the payment of all of its other monetary obligations under the Lease.

3.2 Payment of Additional Rent. In addition to the Base Rent, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent:

   3.2.1 All personal property taxes assessed against and levied upon any Personal Property prior to delinquency.

   3.2.2 Tenant’s Proportionate Share of increases of the Operating Costs incurred during the Term, payable in accordance with Section 3.3.

   3.2.3 All additional charges for any services, goods or materials furnished by Landlord at Tenant’s request or relating to Tenant’s specific use of the Premises.

   3.2.4 All Excess Consideration payable to Landlord pursuant to Section 7.6 hereof.

   3.2.5 All other sums payable by Tenant hereunder.

3.3 Payment of Operating Costs. In addition to the Base Rent, commencing on the first day of January of the calendar year following the Base Year, and continuing on the first day of each subsequent calendar month during the Term, Tenant shall pay in monthly installments an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the excess of Operating Costs for such year over Operating Costs for the Base Year (the “Excess Expense”) in accordance with the following provisions:

   3.3.1 Prior to the end of each calendar year (from and after the Base Year), Landlord shall endeavor to deliver to Tenant a good faith estimate of the Excess Expenses for the next calendar year (the “Excess Expense Estimate”). The Excess Expense Estimate shall

 

5


show the amount previously paid by Tenant for Excess Expenses for the previous calendar year. In addition to the Base Rent provided for in Section 3.1, above, on the first day of each calendar month during each calendar year, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Excess Expense Estimate for said calendar year.

   3.3.2 Landlord may periodically revise the Excess Expense Estimate to reflect changed circumstances, and Tenant shall make subsequent Operating Cost payments based upon the revised Excess Expense Estimate.

   3.3.3 Within ninety (90) days after each calendar year in the Term, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the actual Excess Expenses (the “Annual Statement”). The Annual Statement shall state the amount by which Tenant has underpaid or overpaid Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Excess Expenses. Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Annual Statement. The amount of any overpayment shall be refunded to Tenant or credited against Rent next coming due.

   3.3.4 Tenant shall have ninety (90) days after delivery of the Annual Statement to object in writing to the accuracy of the Annual Statement. If Tenant does not make its written objection within that period, the Annual Statement shall be binding upon Tenant. Whether or not Tenant objects to the Annual Statement, Tenant shall pay any amount specified in the Annual Statement within the 30 day period following the delivery of the Annual Statement. See Addendum.

   3.3.5 Intentionally deleted.

   3.3.6 Even though the Term has expired or this Lease has been terminated and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Expenses pursuant to this Section 3.3 for the year in which the Term expires or this Lease terminates, Tenant shall promptly pay any amount due over the estimated amount of the same previously paid by Tenant for such year, and conversely, any overpayment made shall be promptly refunded by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that all or any part of any such refund may be applied by Landlord in payment of any delinquent or past due sums, including Base Rent or any other amounts due from Tenant.

3.4 Security Deposit. Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to pay interest on the Security Deposit or keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds. Upon any Default by Tenant, Landlord may use the Security Deposit to the extent necessary to make good any arrears of sums payable by Tenant under this Lease, or to compensate Landlord for any damage, injury, expense or liability caused by Tenant’s Default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor, deposit a certified or bank cashier’s check with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its amount immediately preceding such use or application of funds and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a Default under this Lease. The balance of the Security Deposit remaining at the end of the Lease Term shall he returned after all of Tenant’s obligations (with the exception of those specified in Section 3.3.6 [final determination of Proportionate Share of Excess Expenses]) have been fulfilled. Tenant hereby waives any rights or benefits that may be available to Tenant by reason of California Civil Code Section 1950.7.

   Alternatively, Tenant may deposit with Landlord, concurrently with this Lease, an unconditional, irrevocable sight draft and renewable letter of credit (“Letter of Credit”) naming Landlord as beneficiary, in favor of Landlord and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “F”, or other form acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. The Letter of Credit shall be issued by a bank reasonably satisfactory to Landlord with a branch located in Oakland or San Francisco, California in the principal amount of $317,500.00 (hereinafter, the “Stated Amount”). The form and content of the Letter of Credit shall conform to International Standby Practices 1998 International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590. The Letter of Credit shall state that an authorized officer or other representative of Landlord may make demand on Landlord’s behalf for the Stated Amount of the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, and that the issuing bank must immediately honor such demand, without qualification or satisfaction of any conditions, except the proper identification of the party making such demand. In addition, the Letter of Credit shall indicate that it is freely transferable in its entirety by Landlord as beneficiary and that upon receiving written notice of transfer, and upon presentation to the issuing bank of the original Letter of Credit, the issuer or confirming bank will reissue the Letter of Credit naming such transferee as the beneficiary. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall pay upon Landlord’s demand, as Additional Rent, all reasonable costs or fees charged in connection with the Letter of Credit that arise due to: (i) Landlord’s sale or transfer of all or a portion of the Project; or (ii) the addition, deletion, or modification of any beneficiaries under the Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit may be re-issued or renewed provided that, except as expressly set forth herein, the Letter of Credit amount shall not be reduced below the Stated Amount at any time during the Lease Term. Each renewal or replacement Letter of Credit shall be in substantially the same form as the original Letter of Credit or such form as is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord. In the event that Tenant fails to renew or re-issue the Letter of Credit at least ten (10) business days prior to the expiration of the then existing Letter of Credit, then Landlord shall be entitled to make demand for the Stated Amount of said Letter of Credit and, thereafter, to hold such funds as a cash security deposit in accordance with this Section 3.4. Upon any Default by Tenant beyond the applicable cure period, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) draw upon all or any portion of the Stated Amount of the Letter of Credit, and Landlord may then hold such proceeds as a cash security deposit and/or use, apply or retain all or any part of the proceeds for the payment of any sum which is 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 loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s Default. If any portion of the Letter of Credit proceeds are so used or applied, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after demand therefor, post an additional Letter of Credit in an amount to cause the aggregate amount of the unused proceeds and such new Letter of Credit to equal the Stated Amount required in this Section 3.4. Landlord shall not be required to keep any proceeds from the Letter of Credit separate from its general funds. Should Landlord sell its interest in the Premises during the Lease Term Landlord shall deposit with the purchaser thereof the Letter of Credit or any proceeds of the Letter of Credit, thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to the Letter of Credit and said proceeds. Any remaining proceeds of the Letter of Credit held by Landlord after expiration of the Lease Term, after any deductions described in this Section 3.4, shall be returned to Tenant or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder, after all of Tenant’s obligations have been fulfilled.

   Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that Tenant is not then in Default (and Tenant has not been in Default under this Lease) beyond the applicable cure period, on the earlier of (i) the first day of the thirty-fifth (35th) month of the Term, or (ii) the date Tenant provides Landlord with sufficient evidence that Tenant has established two (2) consecutive

 

7


quarters of at least $2,000,000 of positive EBITDA (in accordance with GAAP), Landlord she return the Letter of Credit to Tenant. The rights granted herein are personal to the original Tenant and may not be transferred or assigned.

3.5 Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) days after said amount is past due, then, in addition to an other remedies provided herein, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount (but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by law), plus, in either event, all attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay rent and/or other charges when due hereunder. The parties hereby agree that such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment by Tenant, and that it does not constitute a forfeiture or penalty. Acceptance of such late charges by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. Landlord may, at its option, deduct all late charges from the Security Deposit.

SECTION 4: ALTERATION AND IMPROVEMENTS.

4.1 Alterations by Tenant. At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall have the right to make Tenant Alterations which have received Landlord’s prior written approval (which will not be unreasonably withheld), so long as each of the following conditions is met:

   4.2.2 Tenant and Tenant’s Employees shall not install plumbing, mechanical, electrical wiring or fixtures, ceilings, partitions, or other alterations which, in Landlord’s judgment, may adversely affect any of the Project systems or their performance (including, but not limited to, the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems).

   4.2.3 All work by Tenant and Tenant’s Employees shall he performed diligently until completed and pursuant to any reasonable scheduling requirements imposed by Landlord.

4.3 No Liability of Landlord. Landlord shall have no liability for any faulty work or defect regardless of Landlord’s approval of Tenant Alterations or plans and specifications.

4.4 Reimbursement to Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket expense incurred by Landlord in approving the plans and specifications for Tenant Alterations and in reviewing the progress of their construction, and any expense incurred by Landlord by reason of faulty work or inadequate cleanup.

 

9


4.5 Property of Landlord. All Tenant Alterations shall remain in the Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and shall become the property of Landlord, without any compensation to Tenant, provided, however, at Landlord’s written election, Tenant shall remove any or all of such Tenant Alterations from the Premises. Landlord shall specify which Tenant Alterations shall be removed at the time such Tenant Alterations are approved by Landlord. Tenant shall repair any damage caused by the removal. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall remove its Personal Property from the Premises and Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal.

4.6 Notice of Work Commencement. Before commencing any work with respect to the Tenant Alterations, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing not less than five (5), nor more than ten (10), business days prior to the date such work commences. Landlord shall have the right to post all appropriate notices of non-responsibility.

4.7 Mechanics’ Liens. Tenant shall pay for all labor and materials supplied to the Premises at Tenant’s request for Tenant. Tenant shall not permit any mechanics’ or similar liens to be filed against the Land or the Project, or against Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, Landlord’s Employees, the REA Parties and their respective successors, assigns, partners, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, lenders, ground lessors and attorneys, and the Project, from and against any and all Claims incurred by such indemnified persons, or any of them, as the result of any mechanics’ lien filed against the Land, Project or against Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises. If Tenant causes a lien on the Project, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, either (i) remove such lien or (ii) provide a bond in accordance with California Civil Code Section 3143. No action to remove a lien, as provided herein, shall affect Tenant’s right to contest the legitimacy of the lien and seek appropriate legal remedies against the party placing such lien on the Project.

4.8 Completion Bond. Landlord may require Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost, to obtain and provide to Landlord a lien and completion bond in a form and by a surety acceptable to Landlord, and in amount not less than one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the estimated cost of such Tenant Alterations but only if such Tenant Alterations exceed $150,000 in value.

SECTION 5: REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE.

5.1 Tenant’s Obligations. Tenant shall keep the Premises and all signs installed by Tenant in good condition and repair, whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Tenant’s use, any prior use, the elements or the age of such portion of the Premises. All damage to the Premises or the Project caused by Tenant or Tenant’s Employees, or the failure of Tenant or Tenant’s Employees to comply with this Lease and the Rules and Regulations, shall be repaired at Tenant’s expense, subject to Section 8.3. Landlord may make any repairs, which are not promptly made by Tenant and charge Tenant for the cost thereof, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate. Tenant waives all rights to make repairs to the Premises at the expense of Landlord, or to deduct the cost thereof from Rent. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises and all alterations, additions and improvements in the same condition as when received, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

 

10


5.2 Landlord’s Obligations. Landlord shall maintain and repair, or cause to be maintained and repaired, the Systems and Equipment, the Common Areas, and the structural elements of the Project, except that Landlord shall not be responsible to repair any damage or wear and tear which is the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s Employees. In no event shall Landlord have any liability for interruption or interference in Tenant’s business, or for any other damages (whether direct or consequential), nor shall Rent be abated, on account of Landlord’s failure to make repairs or on account of Landlord’s performance of its maintenance and repair obligations under this Section 5.2, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease. Landlord’s obligations under this Section 5.2 shall not affect Landlord’s right to recover from Tenant the costs for any damage or repair to the Project for which Tenant is liable hereunder. Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary, Tenant shall retain its rights to abatement as specified in Paragraph 48 of the Addendum.

SECTION 6: BUILDING SERVICES.

6.1 Provision by Landlord. Landlord shall furnish the Premises with the following Basic Services, provided Landlord reserves the right to adopt such reasonable nondiscriminatory modifications and additions hereto as it deems appropriate.

   6.1.1 Landlord shall, subject to limitations and provisions hereinafter set forth in this Section 6.1:

(a) Provide automatic elevator facilities on Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (“Business Hours”), excepting Holidays, and have one automatic elevator available at all other times.

(b) Provide to the Premises, during the times specified in Section 6.1.1(a) hereof (and at other times for an additional charge to be fixed from time to time by Landlord, which charge is currently $65.00 per hour upon 24 business hours prior notice), heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”) as is necessary in Landlord’s judgment for the comfortable occupancy of Premises for general office purposes, including telephone, computer network and data storage systems installed with Landlord’s consent, subject to any energy conservation or other regulations which may be applicable from time to time. Landlord shall not be responsible for maintaining comfortable room temperatures if Tenant’s lighting and receptacle loads exceed those listed in Section 6.1.1(c) hereof, or if the Premises contain other heat generating equipment in excess of those normally found in space used for, or are used for other than, general office purposes.

(c) Furnish to the Premises electric current for routine lighting and the operation of general office machines such as personal computers, dictating equipment, and the like, which use standard electric power, which lighting shall not exceed the capacity of Building standard office lighting and receptacles. In no event shall the total electrical requirement for the Premises exceed 2.3 kilowatt-hours per month per RSF of the Premises, nor shall it exceed any limits imposed by any governmental or quasigovernmental authority. Tenant agrees, should its electrical installation or electrical consumption be in excess of the foregoing use or extend beyond the times specified in Section 6.1.1(a), to reimburse Landlord for the cost of such utilities. In such event, Landlord may install, at Tenant’s expense, any necessary meters for measuring Tenant’s utility consumption.

 

11


(d) Furnish water for drinking fountains, kitchen and restrooms provided by Landlord; but if Tenant requires, uses or consumes water for any purpose in addition to ordinary drinking, kitchen and restroom purposes, Landlord may, subject to the terms of Sections 6.1.2, install, at Tenant’s cost, a water meter and thereby measure Tenant’s water consumption for all purposes, and Tenant shall pay for such water usage at the actual cost for such service.

SECTION 12: LANDLORD’S REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT.

12.1 Termination. In the event of a Default, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease. The election to terminate may be stated in any notice served upon

 

23


Tenant with respect to the Default. After the termination, Landlord may, pursuant to applicable law, enter the Premises and remove Tenant, any other person occupying the same, and any or all Personal Property. Any such repossession shall be without prejudice to any of the remedies that Landlord may have under this Lease, or at law or in equity, by reason of the Default or the termination.

12.2 Continuation After Default. In the event of the occurrence of a Default, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession under Section 12.1, and Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including (but without limitation) the right to recover Rent as it becomes due. Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue to lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Landlord shall further have all remedies under any other applicable code section. Acts of maintenance, preservation or efforts to lease the Premises, or the appointment of receiver upon application of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease, shall not constitute an election to terminate Tenant’s right to possession in the absence of written notice to the contrary.

12.3 Damages Upon Termination. Should Landlord terminate this Lease pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.1 Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies of a landlord provided by Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code or any other applicable code section. Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant: (a) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent and other amounts which had been earned at the time of termination; (b) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and (d) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in maintaining or preserving the Premises after such Default, recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting the Premises to a new tenant, (including necessary renovations, alterations and improvements to the Premises, and leasing commissions incurred), and all attorneys’ and other professional and paraprofessional fees and other costs and expenses incurred in good faith in connection with any of the foregoing. The “worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in (a) and (b), above shall be computed with interest at the maximum lawful rate. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in (c), above shall be computed by reference to the formula prescribed by, and using the lowest discount rate permitted under, any applicable Law.

12.4 Remedies Cumulative. All rights, privileges and elections or remedies of the parties are cumulative and, to the extent permitted by any Law and except as otherwise provided herein, are not alternative.

 

24


SECTION 13: LANDLORD’S DEFAULT.

13.1 Right to Cure. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of any obligation required of it under this Lease until it has failed to perform such obligation within 30 days after receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant to Landlord, specifying the obligation in question and the manner in which Landlord has failed to perform the obligation. If the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its performance, Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences to cure the default within the thirty (30) day period and proceeds to completion with reasonable promptness.

13.2 Tenant’s Remedies. Except as expressly set forth in, and limited by, the terms of this Lease, Tenant hereby waives and relinquishes any and all rights which Tenant may have to terminate this lease or to withhold Rent (except for Tenant’s express abatement rights herein), including without limitation on account of any default by Landlord of its obligations under this Lease and any damage to, or condemnation, destruction or state of disrepair of, the Premises (specifically including but not limited to, those rights under California Civil Code Sections 1932,1933(4),1941,1941.1 and 1942).

13.3 Notice to Lenders. Tenant agrees to give all Lenders, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord, provided that prior to such obligation to give notice, Tenant has been notified, in writing (by way of Notice of Assignment of Rents and Leases, or otherwise), of the addresses of the Lenders. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided in this Lease, then before Tenant pursues its other remedies, all Lenders shall have an additional thirty (30) days (the “Lender Cure Period”) within which to cure the default on behalf of Landlord; except that if the default cannot be reasonably cured within the Lender Cure Period, each of the Lenders shall have such additional time as may be reasonably necessary to complete such cure. If the default is such that a Lender must gain possession of the Project or any portion of it in order to be able to effect a cure, then the commencement of foreclosure proceedings against Landlord shall be deemed to constitute the commencement by the Lender of the cure of the default by Landlord.

SECTION 14: SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT.

14.1 Subordination. Subject to the provisions of Section 14.2 below, this Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder shall be and are hereby made, at the option of the applicable Lender, subject and subordinate at all times to any Mortgage now or hereafter existing, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made against or to protect the security thereof. If requested by Landlord, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord, within 10 days after written demand therefor, an agreement in the form of Exhibit “F” or in such other commercially reasonable form required by Landlord’s Lender, or such further instruments confirming the subordination of this Lease to any Mortgage as may be requested by Landlord or any Lender from time to time. Any failure or refusal of Tenant to execute such an agreement within 10 days shall constitute a Default. However, no such additional agreement shall be necessary to effectuate such subordination.

14.2 Attornment. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.1, in the event of the foreclosure of any Mortgage or cancellation or termination of any Master Lease,

 

25


Tenant, at the request of the then successor to the Landlord following such event, shall attorn to and recognize the successor (herein referred to as the “Successor Landlord”), as Landlord under this Lease; provided that Tenant agrees that and Successor Landlord shall not be: (a) liable in any way for any act, omission, neglect or default of any prior Landlord (including, the then defaulting Landlord), except that the Successor Landlord shall be obligated to cure any continuing default, but only to the extent that such default continues after the date that the Successor Landlord succeeds to the interest of Landlord under this Lease, or (b) subject to any claim, defense, counterclaim or offsets which Tenant may have against any prior Landlord (including, the then defaulting Landlord), or (c) bound by any payment of rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than one month in advance of the due date under this Lease to any prior Landlord (including, the then defaulting Landlord), or (d) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made prior to the time the Successor Landlord succeeded to any prior Landlord’s interest, or (e) accountable for any monies deposited with any prior Landlord (including security deposits), except to the extent such monies are actually received by the Successor Landlord, or (f) bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease made without the prior written consent of each ground lessor and lender. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver at any time upon request of any Lender or purchaser, and the successors of either, any instrument reasonably requested to further evidence such attornment. Tenant hereby waives its right, if any, to elect to terminate this Lease or to surrender possession of the Premises in the event of any Mortgage termination or foreclosure. Tenant also agrees that any Lender may, at its option, unilaterally elect to fully or partially subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender which Tenant shall execute within ten (10) days after written request. Any failure or refusal by Tenant to execute such instrument within the time period specified in this Section 14.2 (without additional time, despite any other provision of this Lease) shall constitute a Default hereunder, but shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the subordination.

14.3 Mortgagee’s Liability. Despite the provisions of Section 42 below, in the event that any Lender or its respective successor in title shall succeed to the interest of Landlord hereunder, the liability of the Lender or successor shall exist only so long as it is the owner of the Project, the Project, or the interest therein superior to this Lease under any Master Lease. Except for the Base Rent paid by Tenant upon execution of this Lease, no Base Rent or any other Rent charge shall be paid more than 30 days prior to the due date thereof, and payments made in violation of this provision shall be a nullity as against any Lender, except to the extent that those payments are actually received by the Lender.

14.4 Non-Disturbance Protection. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s obligations to subordinate its rights hereunder to any future Mortgage shall be conditioned upon Landlord’s obtaining from the Lender (upon request from Tenant) a commercial reasonable non-disturbance agreement (“Non-Disturbance Agreement”) providing in substance that: (i) so long as Tenant is not in Default under this Lease, Tenant’s tenancy will not be disturbed, nor its rights under this Lease affected by, any default under such Mortgage nor shall Tenant be named as a defendant in any foreclosure proceeding (unless the Lender is legally required to do so), (ii) any Successor Landlord shall, subject to Section 14.2 of this Lease, assume the obligations of Landlord under this Lease accruing thereafter, and (iii) the Non-Disturbance Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors or assigns of the parties thereto.

SECTION 15: INSPECTIONS AND ACCESS.

15.1 Entry. Landlord and its agents or representatives may enter the Premises at reasonable hours and with reasonable prior notice (except in case of emergency) to inspect the Premises, exhibit the Premises to prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants, determine whether Tenant is complying with all Tenant’s obligations hereunder, supply janitorial service and any other service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, post notices of nonresponsibility, and make repairs or do any work required of Landlord under this Lease or make repairs or do any other work for the benefit of the Project. All such work shall be done as expeditiously as reasonably feasible so as to cause as little interference to Tenant as reasonably possible without requiring extraordinary expenditure on the part of Landlord. Except as expressly otherwise provided herein, in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any reduction or abatement of Rent, or to make any claim for damages against Landlord, as a result of any act of Landlord carried out pursuant to this Section 15.1, and Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages or claim in connection with any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, or any other loss caused by the exercise of such rights by Landlord. Landlord shall at all times have a key to all doors providing entry to the Premises, but excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes, files, or security rooms (as to which Tenant shall provide Landlord with prompt supervised access. Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means that Landlord may deem proper to open any doors to or within the Premises in the event of an emergency, without liability to Tenant except for any failure by Landlord to exercise due care for Tenant’s property under the circumstances, and in any event with no liability to Tenant if the emergency was caused by the act or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Employees.

15.2 Access. If Tenant shall not have any representative personally present to open and permit Landlord’s entry into the Premises at any time when such an entry by Landlord is necessary or permitted hereunder, Landlord may enter by means of a master key without liability to Tenant except for any failure to exercise due care.

SECTION 16: SURRENDER OF PREMISES.

16.1 Removal by Tenant. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord the Premises and all Tenant Alterations (other than those Tenant Alterations to be removed by Tenant pursuant to Section 4.5) in good order, repair and condition, except for ordinary wear and tear, free of all tenancies and occupancies. Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Personal Property in accordance with Section 4.5. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall perform all necessary restoration, including, without limitation, restoration made necessary to the Premises or the Project by the removal of the Tenant Alterations and Tenant’s Personal Property, at or prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease.

16.2 Removal By Landlord. Landlord may elect to retain or dispose of, in any manner, any Tenant Alterations or Personal Property that Tenant does not remove from the Premises on expiration or earlier termination of the Term. Title to such Tenant Alterations or Personal Property Landlord elects to retain on expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall vest in Landlord. Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damage to Tenant resulting from Landlord’s retention or disposition of any such Tenant Alterations or Personal Property. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for Landlord’s costs for storing, removing and disposing of any Tenant Alterations or Personal Property and the cost of any repairs to the Premises and/or the Project associated with the removal.

 

27


16.3 Holding Over. If Tenant holds over after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term with or without the express written consent of Landlord, such Tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, at a rental rate equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Rent in effect upon the date of such expiration or termination, and otherwise subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein specified. Acceptance by Landlord of Rent after such expiration or earlier termination shall not constitute a holdover hereunder or result in a renewal. The foregoing provisions of this Section 16.3 are in addition to and do not affect Landlord’s right of re-entry or any rights of Landlord hereunder or as otherwise available to Landlord as a matter of law nor shall the foregoing be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant. Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease.

SECTION 17: LANDLORD’S LIABILITY; SALE BY LANDLORD.

17.1 No Personal Liability. Landlord or any successor in interest of Landlord (whether one or more individual(s), a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trustee or other fiduciary, or the trust or other entity or organization for which any fiduciary acts) shall have no direct or personal liability with respect to any term or requirement of this Lease beyond Landlord’s or the successor’s interest in the Project. Tenant shall look solely to the estate of Landlord or the successor in the Project for the satisfaction of any claim by Tenant, it being the intention and agreement of the parties to this Lease that none of Landlord or the other Indemnified Parties be personally liable for any deficiency or judgment against Landlord arising out of this Lease except to the extent expressly provided herein.

17.2 Tenant’s Equitable Remedy. Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages because of Landlord’s failure or refusal to consent or approve of any matter requested by Tenant. Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action for specific performance or injunction.

17.3 Deposit. In the event the original Landlord hereunder, or any successor in interest of Landlord, shall sell or convey its interest in the Project, Tenant agrees to attorn to such new owner. Landlord shall transfer to the new owner the balance of the Security Deposit, if any, and, after the new owner’s notice to Tenant to that effect, Landlord shall be relieved of all future liability with respect to the Security Deposit.

32


which may develop between the parties in the administration of this Lease be construed to waive or to lessen the right of any party to insist upon the performance by the other party in strict accordance with all of the terms, covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease.

ADDENDUM TO

CENTER 21

OFFICE LEASE

BETWEEN

PANDORA MEDIA, INC., AS TENANT

AND

CIM/OAKLAND CENTER 21, LP, AS LANDLORD

Dated: as of July 23, 2009

The terms of this Addendum shall supplement, amend and, to the extent in conflict with the provisions of the Lease, supersede the above-referenced Lease, to which this Addendum is attached. The paragraph numbers set forth below generally correspond to the related paragraph in the Lease, but shall not affect or limit the meaning of the particular Addendum provision.

1.10 Permitted Use. Subject to all necessary approvals by any applicable governmental agencies, and provided that the·same does not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Project by any other tenants or occupant therein, Tenant shall be permitted to use, for the benefit of Tenant’s business, a portion of the Premises from time to time for on-site live musical performances (“Live Performances”). Such Live Performances shall be tailored to the specific nature of the Project as a high rise office building. The right herein granted is expressly limited in its scope, and does not in any manner suggest that Tenant be permitted to allow concerts or night-club type arrangements in the Premises. Live Performances shall be strictly subject to the Rules and Regulations of the Project and shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. If special accommodations are required to be made to the Premises to ensure the Live Performances do not constitute a nuisance (which may include sound insulating construction as designed by a Landlord approved acoustician that limits noise and vibration emanating from the Premises), Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost, for such improvements as a Tenant Alteration.

1.13 Parking. Landlord shall make available for use by Tenant up to the number of parking spaces set forth in Article I in the Underground Parking Garage and the Parking Structure, and Tenant will observe all rules and regulations as may be promulgated therefor. Tenant shall pay for the use of such Parking Spaces at the rate established by Landlord from time-to-time, as Additional Rent. Currently, the parking rate for the Underground Parking Garage is $230 per month per unreserved space, and the parking rate for the Parking Structure is $140 per month per unreserved space. At Landlord’s option, Tenant shall pay the monthly fees for the Parking Spaces to Landlord (in which case such fees shall be due together with Tenant’s payments of Base Rent) or directly to the operator of the Parking Facility. In the event Tenant has not rented the total number of allotted parking stalls on or before the sixth (6th) month after the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall have no ongoing right to rent such stalls and Landlord shall not be obligated to provide any additional parking stalls except and to the extent then available on a month-to-month basis. Except at the direction of Landlord, or with the prior written consent of Landlord (which consent Landlord may withhold or withdraw in its sole discretion), Tenant and any subtenant of the Premises (and their respective employees and contractors) shall not contract with any third party for the use of parking spaces within the Parking Facilities.

3.3.4 Audit Right. Tenant shall have the one time annual right to review and/or audit Landlord’s books and records regarding Operating Costs at Landlord’s offices during normal business hours on ten (l0) business days’ prior notice given within three months after Tenant’s receipt of the Annual Statement (the “Review Period”). Any audit shall be conducted by a regionally recognized auditor reasonably approved by Landlord (“Tenant’s Auditor”) which, along with Tenant, agrees to be bound by a confidentiality agreement in form proposed by Landlord, on a noncontingent fee basis, and must be completed and

 

Addendum - 1


submitted to Landlord within sixty (60) days after Tenant begins the audit. Tenant shall have no right to contest, review or audit such statement if it fails to give such written notice during the Review Period. Landlord may elect to contest the conclusion of Tenant’s Auditor by giving a written contest notice (the “Contest Notice”) to Tenant within sixty (60) days after receipt of the audit, such Contest Notice containing the name of a firm of certified public accountants appointed by Landlord (“Landlord’s CPA”). Landlord’s CPA and Tenant’s Auditor shall meet and confer within 30 days after the Contest Notice is given in an attempt to agree on any disputed items. If Landlord’s CPA and Tenant’s Auditor are unable to agree on all disputed items within 45 days after the Contest Notice, then each of Landlord’s CPA and Tenant’s Auditor shall propose and deliver to each other in writing an amount to be paid by Tenant to Landlord or Landlord to Tenant relating to the Operating Costs being audited. Tenant’s Auditor and Landlord’s CPA shall agree on a third CPA experienced in real estate accounting unaffiliated with Landlord, Tenant and their respective CPA’s and/or auditors and who has not worked for Landlord, Tenant or their respective CPA’s in the last ten (10) years. Such third CPA (the “Deciding CPA”) shall meet for one day or less with Landlord’s CPA and Tenant’s Auditor within 15 days after the appointment of such Deciding CPA, and at the end of such meeting the Deciding CPA shall choose in writing either Tenant’s Auditor’s proposal or Landlord’s CPA’s proposal, and such decision shall be final, binding and nonappealable. Landlord shall pay for Landlord’s CPA, Tenant shall pay for Tenant’s Auditor and the cost of the Deciding CPA shall be divided equally among the parties. No books and records may be removed from Landlord’s office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is determined that Operating Costs reflected in Landlord’s Statement have been overstated by five percent (5%) or more, than Landlord shall pay for the reasonable cost of Tenant’s Auditor and the Deciding CPA.

46.28 Exclusions from Operating Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the definition of Operating Costs in the Lease, Operating Costs shall not include the following, except to the extent specifically permitted by a specific exception to the following:

(i) Any ground lease rental;

(ii) Costs of items considered capital repairs, replacements, improvements and equipment under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“Capital Items”), except for the Permitted Capital Items (as defined in Section 44, number 24);

(iii) Rentals for items (except when needed in connection with normal repairs and maintenance of permanent systems) which if purchased, rather than rented, would constitute a capital improvement which is specifically excluded in (ii) above (excluding, however, equipment not affixed to the Building which is used in providing janitorial or similar services);

(iv) Costs incurred by Landlord, to the extent that Landlord is reimbursed by insurance or condemnation proceeds;

(v) Costs, including permit, license and inspection costs, incurred with respect to the installation of tenant or other occupants’ improvements in the Building or incurred in renovating or otherwise improving, decorating, painting or redecorating vacant space for tenants or other occupants of the Building;

(vi) Depreciation, amortization and interest payments, except on materials, tools, supplies and equipment purchased by Landlord where each of the following conditions are met:

 

Addendum - 2


(1) The same is purchased by Landlord to enable Landlord to supply services that Landlord is required to provide to Tenant under the terms of this Lease;

(2) Landlord might otherwise contract for such services with a third party under conditions where such depreciation, amortization and interest payments would likely have been included in the charge for such third party’s services; and

(3) The item is amortized over the applicable useful life;

all as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.

(vii) Marketing costs including, without limitation, leasing commissions, attorneys’ fees in connection with the negotiation and preparation of letters, deal memos, letters of intent, leases, subleases and/or assignments. space planning costs, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with lease, sublease and/or assignment negotiations and transactions with present or prospective tenants or other occupants of the Project;

(viii) Expenses in connection with services or other benefits which are not offered to Tenant or for which Tenant is charged for directly, but which are provided to another tenant or occupant of the Project;

(ix) Expenses in connection with utilities, services and/or other benefits which arc provided to Tenant or another tenant or occupant of the Building to the extent Tenant or such other tenant or occupant reimburses Landlord for such utilities, services and/or benefits;

(x) Attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred by Landlord in litigating or otherwise resolving any dispute with another tenant of the Building over any alleged violation by Landlord or any tenant of the Building of the terms and conditions of any lease to which it is a party and covering space in the Building;

(xi) Overhead and profit increment paid to Landlord or to subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord for goods and/or services in or to the Building to the extent the same exceeds the costs of such goods and/or services of equal quality rendered by unaffiliated third parties on a competitive basis;

(xii) Interest, principal, points and fees on debts or amortization on any mortgage or mortgages or any other debt instrument encumbering the Project;

(xiii) Rentals and other related expenses incurred in leasing HVAC systems, elevators or other equipment ordinarily considered to be Capital Items, except for any of the following: (1) expenses in connection with making repairs on or keeping Building Systems in operation while repairs are being made; (2) costs of equipment not affixed to the Building which is used in providing janitorial or similar services; and (3) to the extent permitted in (ii) above;

(xiii) Tax penalties or interest incurred as a result of Landlord’s negligence, inability or unwillingness to make payments and/or to file any tax or informational returns when due;

 

Addendum - 3


(xiv) Costs arising from Landlord’s charitable or political contributions;

(xv) Costs (including in connection therewith all attorneys’ fees and costs of settlement judgments and payments in lieu thereof) arising from claims, disputes or potential disputes in connection with potential or actual claims litigation or arbitration pertaining to Landlord and/or Landlord’s interest in or title to the Project; and

(xvi) Costs associated with the operation of the business of the partnership or entity which constitutes Landlord as the same are distinguished from the costs of operation of the Project, including partnership accounting and legal matters; costs of defending any lawsuits with any mortgagee; costs of selling, syndicating, financing, mortgaging or hypothecating any of Landlord’s interest in the Project; costs of any disputes between Landlord and its employees (if any) not engaged in Project operation; costs associated with disputes of Landlord with Project management.

Landlord further agrees that it will not collect or be entitled to collect Operating Costs from all tenants in the Building in an amount which is in excess of one hundred percent (100%) of the Operating Costs actually paid by Landlord in connection with the operation of the Building. If Landlord eliminates from Operating Costs for any year any particular type of insurance included in Operating Costs for the Base Year, or if Landlord modifies the level of insurance coverage during any later year from that carried during the Base Year, then Landlord shall adjust the amount of any insurance premium included in Operating Costs for the Base Year to equal that amount which Landlord reasonably estimates it would have incurred had Landlord maintained similar types and levels of insurance during the Base Year as maintained by Landlord during such later year.

48. Right of First Offer.

48.1 In the event that Landlord from time to time intends to accept an offer (a “Lease Offer”) to lease any of the available space on the sixteenth (16th) floor of the Building, and provided Tenant is not in breach of any provision of this Lease past any express and applicable cure period, Tenant shall have the right to lease all, but not less than all of space that is the subject of the Lease Offer (the “Available Space”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 48.

48.2 Following Landlord’s receipt and approval of a Lease Offer, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice (an “Availability Notice”) of the availability and size of such Available Space for lease and the monthly base rent and other economic terms and conditions (collectively, the “Economic Terms”) based on prevailing market conditions upon which Landlord was willing to lease the space covered by the Lease Offer.

48.3 Within ten (10) days after receipt of the Landlord’s Availability Notice, Tenant must give Landlord written notice pursuant to which Tenant shall elect to either: (i) lease all and not less than all of the Available Space identified by Landlord upon such Economic Terms; or (ii) refuse to lease the Available Space, in which event Landlord may thereafter lease the space covered by the Lease Offer to any party upon any terms Landlord deems appropriate. Tenant’s failure to timely choose either clause (i) or clause (ii) above will be deemed to be Tenant’s choice of clause (ii) above.

48.4 If Tenant timely elects to lease the Available Space, then the Available Space shall be included in the Premises for the remaining balance of the Term and shall be leased to Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, with the following exceptions: (a) the base rent and other economic terms and conditions for the Available Space shall be the base rent and other Economic Terms set forth in the Lease Offer, except that the term shall be coterminous with the Term under the Lease; (b)

 

Addendum - 4


Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be increased appropriately to reflect the addition of the Available Space to the Premises; and (c) the Term as to the Available Space shall commence upon the date Landlord shall have delivered the Available Space to Tenant. Promptly after Tenant’s exercise of its rights under this Section, the parties shall agree upon and execute an amendment (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant) to this Lease memorializing the terms and conditions upon which the Available Space in question shall be added to the Premises.

48.5 If Tenant is in Default under the Lease in any calendar year during the Lease Term, Tenant’s rights under this Section 48 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. This right is personal to the originally named Tenant and may not be assigned.

49. Abatement of Rent. In the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, as a result of (i) any repair, maintenance or alteration to the Common Areas or other portions of the Building performed by Landlord (unless the same is required due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Employees) which interferes with Tenant’s ability to operate its business from the Premises, (ii) the unavailability of any utility to the Premises where such unavailability is principally due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s Employees, or (iii) the presence of Hazardous Materials on or about the Project not caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant’s Employees (any such set of circumstances as set forth in items (i), through (iii), above, to be known as an “Abatement Event”), Then Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice of such Abatement Event, and if such Abatement Event continues for five (5) consecutive days after the commencement of such Abatement Event or the same Abatement Event occurs ten (10) or more nonconsecutive days in any twelve month period (the “Eligibility Period”), then the Base Rent and recurrent Additional Rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises, or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use (“Unusable Area”), bears to the total rentable area of the Premises; provided, however, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Unusable Area for a period of time in excess of the Eligibility Period and the remaining portion of the Premises is not sufficient to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its business therein, and if Tenant does not conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for such time after expiration of the Eligibility Period during which Tenant is so prevented from effectively conducting its business therein, the Base Rent and recurrent Additional Rent for the entire Premises shall be abated for such time as Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises. If, however, Tenant reoccupies any portion of the Premises during such period, the Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion, based on the proportion that the rentable area of such reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the total rentable area of the Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date Tenant reoccupies such portion of the Premises. Such right to abate Base Rent and recurrent Additional Rent shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity for an Abatement Event.
