(b) If Landlord fails to deliver possession of the second

Tenant may terminate this lease without further liability upon written notice to
Landlord given not later than fifteen (15) days following the Second Floor

(c) Provided that Tenant is not in default under the terms of
the Lease and has made all previous rental payments in a timely manner, Tenant

years commencing from the date of expiration of the initial Term of the Lease
("Extended Term") by serving Landlord with written notice of Tenant's election

(b) If Tenant remains in possession after the expiration of
the Term without Landlord's written consent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord for
each month of said possession the sum of one hundred twenty-five percent (125%)
(prorated on a daily basis) of the monthly Base Rent for the month immediately
preceding the expiration of the Term, plus an amount estimated by Landlord for
operating expenses payable under this Lease, and Tenant shall also pay all
costs, expenses and damages sustained by Landlord by reason of such retention of
possession, including, without limitation, claims made by a succeeding tenant
resulting from Tenant's failure to surrender the Premises.
5. Rent.
(a) During the initial Term of this Lease, Tenant agrees to
pay to Landlord as monthly base rent for the Premises the base rent set forth in
Paragraph 1(g) above ("Base Rent"). Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rent with
respect to the first floor of the Premises shall commence on the Commencement
Date ("First Floor Rent Commencement Date"). Tenant's obligation to pay Base
Rent with respect to the second floor of the Premises shall commence on the date
upon which the Tenant Improvements in the second floor of the Premises have been
substantially completed by Landlord ("Second Floor Rent Commencement Date").
Base Rent for any partial month shall be prorated based upon a thirty (30) day
month. Base Rent shall be paid in advance on the first (1st) day of each month
during the Term, without prior notice or demand, and without deduction or
offset, in lawful money of the United States of America, to Landlord, c/o JMA
Properties, Ltd., 280 Second Street, Los Altos, CA, 94022, Attn: Mr. Art
Chapman, or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in
writing.
(b) For purposes of Paragraph 5(a) above, the Tenant
Improvements shall be deemed substantially completed upon the occurrence of the
earlier of the following: (i) the date upon which such Tenant Improvements have
been actually completed by Landlord and the issuance of appropriate governmental
approvals for the occupancy of the Premises, whether temporary or permanent;
(ii) the date upon which such Tenant Improvements would have been substantially
completed, except for delays caused by or changes in the work requested by
Tenant, or (iii) the date upon which Tenant takes possession of the Premises.
(c) In the event Tenant elects to extend the Term of this
Lease pursuant to Paragraph 3(d), the Base Rent to be paid during the first year
of the Extended Term shall be an amount equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of
the Prevailing Market Rental, as hereinafter defined; provided, however, that in
no event shall the Base Rent during the first year of the Extended Term be less
than the Base Rent then being paid by Tenant under the Lease. As used herein,
the term "Prevailing Market Rental" shall mean the rental and all other monetary
payments and escalations that Landlord could obtain from a third party desiring
to lease the Premises for the Extended Term, taking into account the age of the
Premises, the type and quality of tenant improvements, the location and floor
levels of the Premises, the same uses provided in Paragraph 8(a), the quality of
construction of the Premises, the services provided under the terms of the
Lease, the rental then being obtained for new leases of space comparable to the
Premises in the locality of the Premises and all other factors that would be
relevant to a third party in determining the rental such party would be willing
to pay to lease the Premises for the Extended Term.
On or before five (5) days after the Tenant provides Landlord with
notice of Tenant's election to renew, Landlord and Tenant shall commence
negotiations to agree upon the Prevailing Market Rental applicable thereto. If
Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach agreement on Prevailing Market Rental
within ten (10) days after the date negotiations commence, then the Prevailing
Market Rental shall be determined as follows:
(i) If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the
Prevailing Market Rental within said ten (10) day period, then, within five (5)
days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall each simultaneously submit to the
other in a sealed envelope its good faith estimate of the Prevailing Market
Rental. If the higher of such estimates is not more than one hundred five
percent (105%) of the lower of such estimates, then the Prevailing Market Rental
shall be the average of the two estimates; provided, however, that in no event
shall the Base Rent during the first year of the Extended Term be less than the
Base Rent then being paid by Tenant under the Lease.
(ii) If the matter is not resolved by the exchange of
estimates as provided in subparagraph (i) above, then either Landlord or Tenant
may, by written notice to the other on or before five (5) days after the
exchange of such estimates, require that the disagreement be resolved by
arbitration. Within seven (7) days after such notice, the parties shall select
as an arbitrator a mutually acceptable MAI appraiser with experience in real
estate activities, including at least ten (10) years' experience in appraising
office space in San Mateo County, California. If the parties cannot agree on an
appraiser, then, within a second period of seven (7) days, each party shall
select an independent MAI appraiser meeting the aforementioned criteria and,
within a third period of seven (7) days, the two appointed appraisers shall
select a third appraiser meeting the aforementioned criteria and the third
appraiser shall determine the Prevailing Market Rental pursuant to subparagraph
(iii) below. If one party shall fail to make such appointment within said second
seven (7) day period, then the appraiser chosen by the other party shall be the
sole arbitrator.
(iii) Once the arbitrator has been selected as provided for in
subparagraph (ii) above, then, as soon as practicable but in any case within
fourteen (14) days thereafter, the arbitrator shall select one of the two
estimates of the Prevailing Market Rental submitted by Landlord and Tenant,
which estimate shall be the one that is closer to the Prevailing Market Rental
as determined by the arbitrator; provided, however, that in no event shall the
Base Rent during the first year of the Extended Term be less than the Base Rent
then being paid by Tenant under the Lease. The arbitrator's selection shall be
rendered in writing to both Landlord and Tenant and shall be final and binding
upon them and shall not be subject to appeal. If the arbitrator believes that
expert advice would materially assist such arbitrator, then the arbitrator may
retain one or more qualified persons, including, but not limited to, legal
counsel, brokers, architects or engineers, to provide such expert advice. The
party whose estimate is not chosen by the arbitrator shall pay the costs of the
arbitrator and of any experts retained by the
arbitrator; provided, however, that any fees of any counsel or expert engaged
directly by Landlord or Tenant shall be borne by the party retaining such
counsel or expert.
(d) As additional rent hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
Tenant's Proportionate Share (as defined below) of the total Operating Expenses
incurred by Landlord in the administration, operation and maintenance of the
Premises during the Term. For purposes of this Lease, it is agreed that Tenant's
Proportionate Share shall be one hundred percent (100%). Landlord agrees that in
no event shall Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses allocable
solely to the first floor of the Premises during the first twelve (12) months of
the Sublease Term be greater than Forty Cents ($0.40) per rentable square foot
of the first floor of the Premises per month. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, Landlord agrees that Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating
Expenses allocable solely to the first floor of the Premises during the period
commencing on the thirteenth month of the Lease Term and ending on April 30,
1997 (or such earlier date as to the sublease between Tenant, as sublessor, and
Passport Designs, Inc., as sublessee, covering the first floor of the Premises
may terminate) shall not be greater than 105% of Tenant's Proportionate Share of
Operating Expenses allocable to the first floor of the Premises during the first
twelve months of the Lease Term (prorated for the partial year).
For purposes of this Lease, "Operating Expenses" shall include all
costs paid or incurred by Landlord in connection with the ownership, operation,
maintenance, repair, improvement, security and management of, replacements for,
and all services and utilities rendered by Landlord in connection with, the
Premises (including all Common Areas), including, without limitation, real
property taxes and assessments (general and special), in lieu real property
taxes, rent taxes, gross receipt taxes (whether assessed against Landlord or
assessed against Tenant and collected by Landlord, or both), water and sewer
charges, casualty and liability insurance (including earthquake and rental loss)
premiums for insurance which Landlord is required to maintain hereunder or
otherwise deems necessary, utilities, trash removal, labor, the management fee
paid to the third party manager selected by Landlord or costs incurred by
Landlord in the management of the Premises if no such third party manager is
retained (in either event not to exceed four percent (4%) of the gross rental
income of the Premises), including salaries and employer taxes in connection
therewith, costs incurred in connection with rent collection, preparation and
review of operation budgets, supervision of maintenance employees, and
negotiation of maintenance and supply contracts, air conditioning and heating
operating and maintenance, elevator maintenance, supplies, materials, equipment
and tools, maintenance costs and upkeep of all parking and Common Areas and the
landscaping thereof, maintenance and repair of intrabuilding network cabling,
costs incurred to upgrade the utility, capacity or efficiency of any utility or
telecommunications system serving the Premises, and any professional fees
incurred by Landlord which will benefit all tenants equally (such as fees
incurred for appealing property taxes). Landlord agrees to use its best efforts
to secure all services, materials and supplies at competitive prices
commensurate with the level of maintenance and services provided similar
buildings in
the area. The determination of the costs of management, operating, and
maintenance of the Premises and the Common Areas and the costs of the capital
improvements shall be in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 5(c),
Operating Expenses shall not include:
(i) depreciation;
(ii) costs of tenants' improvements;
(iii) interest;
(iv) capital items (i.e., items which Landlord is required to
capitalize and not expense in the current year for federal income tax purposes),
except that the cost of (i) capital improvements which reduce Operating Expenses
and (ii) capital improvements required by laws, statutes, ordinances or
regulations of any federal, state or local governmental agency not in effect as
of the Commencement Date shall be included in Operating Expenses. The cost
thereof shall be amortized over the useful life of the improvement or capital
item, and Tenant shall pay Tenant's Proportionate Share of such amortized cost
monthly from the date of installation or repair throughout the Lease term. The
foregoing notwithstanding, if a capital improvement is required by law due to
Tenant's specific use of the Premises or alterations made to the Premises by
Tenant, then Tenant shall pay one hundred (100%) of the cost of such capital
improvements, and such capital improvements shall not be considered an Operating
Expense;
(v) payments on debt (principal or interest);
(vi) leasing commissions;
(vii) costs incurred to perform or correct the Landlord's work
described in Exhibit "C";
(viii) costs of correcting defects in or inadequacy of the
initial design of the structure of the Premises or Common Area;
(ix) legal fees;
(x) amounts paid to affiliates of Landlord (i.e., persons or
companies controlled by, under common control with, or which control, Landlord)
for services on or to the Project, to the extent only that the costs of such
services exceed competitive costs of such services were they not so rendered by
an affiliate of Landlord;
(xi) wages of any employee above the level of building manager
and chief engineer;
(xii) earthquake or other insurance, unless such insurance
coverage was carried during the year in which the Commencement Date occurred;
(xiii) space planning fees, architectural fees, engineering
fees (other than those relating to the general operation of the Premises or
Common Areas thereof), marketing, advertising or any expenses incurred in
connection with the development or leasing of the Premises;
(xiv) costs associated with the operation of the business of
the legal entity which constitutes Landlord as the same is separate and apart
from the costs and operation of the Project including legal entity formation and
internal entity accounting;
(xv) any late fees or penalties or similar fees incurred by
Landlord, except to the extent attributable to Tenant's late payment or
non-payment of Base Rent or additional rent;
(xvi) any debt losses, rent losses or reserves for bad debt;
(xvii) the cost of (including increased real estate taxes and
other Operating Expenses related to) any additional space to the Premises after
the original construction;
(xviii) the cost of any repair in accordance with the
paragraphs on fire, casualty and condemnation of this Lease;
(xix) unrecovered expenses incurred as a consequence of the
grossly negligent operation and maintenance of the Building by the Landlord or
Landlord's employees; and
(xx) real property taxes and assessments to the extent based
on the excess of the assessed value of the Project over actual value thereof.
Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses shall be payable
during the Term of this Lease in monthly installments on the first day of each
month in advance, without deduction, offset, prior notice or demand, and shall
be payable concurrently with monthly installments of Base Rent. Tenant's
Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses shall be based upon an estimate of the
Operating Expenses for such calendar year. As close as reasonably possible to
the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord's
estimate of the Operating Expenses for the following calendar year. An amount
equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant's Proportionate Share of such
Operating Expenses shall be payable monthly by Tenant commencing on the first
day of the calendar year for which such estimate is given and continuing
throughout the remainder of said calendar year. Until notice of the estimated
Operating Expenses for any subsequent calendar year is delivered to Tenant,
Tenant shall continue to pay on the basis of the prior estimate. Landlord may
from time to time during the Term, but not more than twice each calendar year,
adjust the current estimate of Operating Expenses to reflect current
expenditures. Following written notice to Tenant of such revised estimate, any
subsequent payments by Tenant of Operating Expenses shall be based upon such
revised estimate. Within seventy-five (75) days after the end of each calendar
year, or such later date after Landlord reviews the annual statement of
Operating Expenses, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a reasonably detailed
statement showing the actual Operating Expenses for the applicable calendar
year. If Tenant's payments of Operating Expenses for any subsequent calendar
year are less than or exceed the amount shown in such annual statement as
Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses (as prorated to reflect any
partial year during the Term), then Tenant's account shall be adjusted
accordingly. Tenant shall pay any deficiency upon receipt of Landlord's invoice,
and all credits will be applied by Landlord to the payment(s) next due for
Operating Expenses (or reimbursed in cash if such credit arises at the end of
the Term of this Lease).
Within one (1) year after the date of Tenant's receipt of the statement
of actual Operating Expenses for an applicable calendar year, Tenant may give
Landlord written notice of its intent to review records, invoices and receipts
relating to the Operating Expenses for such calendar year. Tenant shall provide
Landlord with at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the date upon which
it intends to review such records, invoices and receipts. The review shall be
performed during normal business hours at Landlord's principal place of business
or such other location as may be designated by Landlord, and shall be performed
at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Promptly following the completion of Tenant's
review of such records, invoices and receipts, Tenant shall provide Landlord
with a copy of the results of such review and Tenant's conclusions regarding any
overstatement or understatement by Landlord of actual Operating Expenses for the
applicable calendar year. In the event that Tenant's review shows an
underpayment or overpayment of Operating Expenses by Tenant for the applicable
calendar year, then, subject to Landlord's confirmation by its own review of
said records, invoices and receipts, the parties shall promptly meet to resolve
any discrepancy. Any discrepancy that cannot be resolved by the parties shall be
submitted for resolution to an independent certified public accountant mutually
selected by the parties, having no previous relationship to either of the
parties. In the event that Tenant fails to provide Landlord with written notice
of its intent to review such records, invoices and receipts within the
aforementioned one (1) year period, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the
statement of actual Operating Expenses for such applicable calendar year;
provided, however, Tenant shall not be deemed to have approved the statement of
actual Operating Expenses for any year for which Tenant fails to provide
Landlord with written notice of its intent to review records, invoices and
receipts within one (1) year of receipt
of the statement of Operating Expenses if Landlord has overstated such Operating
Expenses for such year by more than ten percent (10%).
6. Late Charges. Tenant agrees that all rental or other payments not
paid within five (5) calendar days after the due date shall be considered
delinquent and agrees to pay a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the
delinquent payment. Rent mailed and bearing a U.S. Postal Service postmark up to
the fifth (5th) day of a month shall not be considered delinquent. Additionally,
any delinquent payments not paid within thirty (30) days of the original due
date shall bear interest at the lower of the maximum rate then allowed by the
law or two (2) percentage points (i.e., two percent (2%)) over the prime rate of
interest charged from time to time by Bank of America, National Trust and
Savings Association at its San Francisco, California office.
7. Security Deposit.
(a) Tenant has deposited with Landlord the amount set forth in
Paragraph 1(h) above to be held by Landlord as security for the faithful
performance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.
If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including, but
not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of rent, Landlord may
(but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of this
security deposit for the payment of rent or any other sum in default, or for the
payment of any amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by
reason of Tenant's default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or
damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's default. If any portion
of said deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after
written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to
restore the security deposit to its original amount, and Tenant's failure to do
so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to
keep the security deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not
be entitled to interest on such security deposit. If Tenant elects to extend the
term of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit such sums as are necessary to increase
the security deposit to an amount equal to the monthly Base Rent for the
extended term of this Lease.
(b) If Landlord's interest in this Lease is assigned or
otherwise transferred, Landlord shall transfer said security deposit to
Landlord's assignee or such other successor-in-interest. Upon such transfer,
Landlord shall have no further liability with respect to said security deposit,
and the assignee or such other successor-in-interest shall have liability in
connection therewith.
8. Use of Premises.
(a) Tenant shall use the Premises for general office use and
incidental retail sales (if permitted by zoning laws applicable to the
Premises), and for no other purpose.
(b) Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or
about the Premises nor bring or keep anything therein which will: (i) increase
the existing rate of any fire or other insurance covering the Premises or any
contents therein; or (ii) cause the cancellation of any insurance policy
covering the Premises or any contents therein; or (iii) in any way obstruct or
interfere with the rights of other users of the Common Areas or injure or annoy
them. Tenant shall not use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper,
immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or
permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit to
suffer to be committed any waste in, on or about the Premises.
(c) The term "Hazardous Materials" as used in this Lease,
shall include, without limitation, any chemical, substance or material which has
been or is hereafter determined by any federal, state or local governmental
agency to be capable of posing risk of injury to health or safety including,
without limitation, petroleum, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, radioactive
materials and radon gas. Tenant shall not cause or knowingly permit to occur any
act or omission of Tenant, its agents, servants, invitees and contractors which
constitutes (i) any violation of federal, state or local laws now or hereafter
enacted or issued, related to environmental conditions on, under or about the
Premises, or arising from Tenant's leasehold interest in or use or occupancy of
the Premises including, but not limited to, soil and groundwater conditions; or
(ii) the use, generation, release, manufacture, refining, production,
processing, storage or disposal of any Hazardous Materials on, under or about
the Premises or the Common Areas or the transportation to or from the Premises
or the Common Areas of any Hazardous Materials, except de minimis amounts of
Hazardous Materials that are commonly used in office products or are present in
ordinary cleaning supplies. All such office products and cleaning supplies will
be used and stored in a manner that complies with all laws. Tenant shall at its
own expense, make all submissions to, provide all information required by, and
comply with all requirements of all governmental authorities under laws or
ordinances relating to Hazardous Materials. Should any governmental entity
having jurisdiction over the Premises demand that a remediation plan be prepared
or that remediation be undertaken because of any deposit, spill, discharge or
other release of Hazardous Materials that occurs during the Term of this Lease,
at or from the Premises, and which arises at any time from Tenant's use or
occupancy of the Premises, then Tenant shall, at its own expense, prepare and
submit the required plans and carry out all such remediation plans. Tenant shall
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, its partners, officers, directors,
beneficiaries, shareholders, agents, employees and lenders harmless from all
fines, suits, procedures, claims and actions of every kind, and all costs
associated therewith (including investigation costs and attorneys' and
consultants' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with any deposit,
spill, discharge or other release of Hazardous Materials that occurs during the
Term of this Lease, at or from the Premises and which arises at any time from
Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises or from Tenant's failure to provide
all information, make all submissions and take all steps required by any
governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Premises. Tenant's
obligations and the indemnity hereunder shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease. Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant, its
partners, officers, directors, beneficiaries, shareholders, agents, employees
and lenders harmless from all fines, suits, procedures, claims and actions of
every kind, and all costs associated therewith (including investigation costs
and attorneys' and consultants' fees) arising out of or in any way connected
with any deposit, spill, discharge or other release of Hazardous Materials
caused by Landlord, its agents, servants, invitees and contractors. Landlord's
obligations and the indemnity hereunder shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
9. Compliance with Law. Tenant shall not use the Premises or permit
anything to be done in, on or about the Premises which will in any way conflict
with any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule or regulation now in force
or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated. Tenant shall, at its sole cost
and expense, promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances, and
governmental rules, regulations and requirements now in force or which may
hereafter be enacted or promulgated, except that Tenant shall not be required to
make changes to the Premises not related to or caused by Tenant's improvements
or acts. Tenant shall also comply with the requirements or any board of fire
insurance underwriters or other similar bodies now in force or which may
hereafter be enacted or promulgated relating to or affecting the condition, use
or occupancy of the Premises, excluding structural changes not related to or
affected by Tenant's improvements or acts. The judgement of any court of
competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any action against Tenant,
whether Landlord shall be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any
law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule, regulation or requirement, shall
be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.
Except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, and subject to the
provisions of clause (iv) of Paragraph 5(d) concerning the authorization of
certain capital costs to be included as Operating Expenses, Landlord shall be
responsible for the cost of retrofitting any part of the Premises in order to
comply with applicable laws and building codes, including Title 24 or The
Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. section 12101 et. seq. (the
"ADA"), and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Except for the initial
tenant improvements to be constructed by Landlord with respect to which the
provisions of Exhibit "C" shall govern, Tenant shall be responsible for the cost
of complying with applicable laws and building codes, including Title 24 and the
ADA, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, with respect to any alterations
that may be made to or installed in the Premises by or for Tenant or that are
related to, or arise out of, Tenant's use of the Premises.
10. Alterations and Additions.
(a) Tenant shall not make or allow any alterations, additions
or improvements to the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Landlord may
withhold its
consent to any structural alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises
in its sole and absolute discretion. For purposes of this Lease, the
installation, repair or removal by Tenant of telecommunications lines or the
making by Tenant of connections or disconnections of telecommunications lines in
a common telecommunications closet serving the Premises shall be deemed an
alteration, addition or improvement requiring Landlord's consent hereunder.
Landlord's prior written consent shall also be required for any alteration,
addition or improvement in the Premises that would require an increase or
modification of the Premises's telecommunications system beyond the original
design of the Premises's telecommunications system. Except as provided below,
any such alterations, additions or improvements, including, but not limited to,
wall coverings, paneling and built-in cabinet work, but excepting movable
furniture, vaults, safes and other trade fixtures, cabling and
telecommunications lines installed by or on behalf of Tenant, shall become a
part of the realty, shall belong to Landlord and shall be surrendered with the
Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If Landlord
consents in writing to any such alterations, additions or improvements, such
alterations, additions or improvements shall be made by Tenant at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, and shall comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and
governmental rules, regulations and requirements. Any contractor or person
selected by Tenant to perform any such work shall first be approved by Landlord
in writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord further
reserves the right to have all plans and specifications for such alterations,
additions or improvements prepared or approved by its architect or structural
engineer at Landlord's expense. No such work shall be allowed to commence until
three (3) days have elapsed from the date of Landlord's written consent. Upon
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, upon written
demand by Landlord given at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease, promptly remove any alterations, additions or
improvements made by Tenant and designated by Landlord to be so removed. Tenant
further agrees to remove its vaults, safes, files and other trade fixtures and
telecommunications lines and cabling upon expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease. Any such removal, and the repair of any damage to the Premises
caused by such removal, shall be performed at Tenant's sole cost and expense.
(b) Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent, the cost
of any structural alteration to the Premises and/or, at Landlord's option, shall
promptly make, at Tenant's sole expense and in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (a) above, any structural or nonstructural alterations to the
Premises required to comply with any applicable law, code, rule or regulations,
whether now existing or hereinafter promulgated, where such alterations are
required by reason of (i) the acts or omissions of its employees or agents; (ii)
Tenant's use or change of use to the Premises; (iii) alterations or improvements
to the Premises made by or for Tenant; or (iv) Tenant's application for any
permit or governmental approval.
11. Liens. Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Common Area free and
clear from any and all liens arising out of any work performed, materials
furnished or
obligations incurred by Tenant. Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord,
at Tenant's sole cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in an amount equal
to one and one half (1-1/2) times the estimated cost of any improvements,
additions or alterations to be made by Tenant to protect Landlord against
liability for any such work or materials. Landlord shall also have the right to
post and maintain on the Premises such notices of nonresponsibility as may be
required by law to protect Landlord's rights on the Premises and the Common
Areas. Should any claim or lien be filed against or any action be commenced
affecting the Premises or Common Areas, or any part thereof, and/or Tenant's
interest therein, arising out of the work performed, materials furnished or
obligations incurred by Tenant, Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such lien
or action within three (3) days after Tenant receives notice of the filing of
the lien or the commencement of the action. Immediately upon Tenant's receipt of
notice of such lien or action, Tenant shall cause such lien to be released of
record by payment of the lien or posting of a proper bond. If Tenant does not,
within twenty (20) days following the imposition of any such lien, cause such
lien to be released of record, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other
remedies provided herein and by law, the right, but not the obligation, to cause
the same to be released by such means as Landlord shall deem proper, including
payment of any claim giving rise to such lien or posting of a proper bond. All
sums payable by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 11 and all expenses incurred
by or in connection therewith, including attorneys' fees and costs of suit,
shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant as additional rent within ten (10) days
after receipt of Landlord's invoice therefor.
12. Repairs.
(a) By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant shall be
deemed to have accepted the Premises as being in good sanitary order, condition
and repair, except for (i) patent defects of which Tenant notifies Landlord
within thirty (30) days thereafter and (ii) latent defects. Except as may be
otherwise specified herein, Landlord makes no representation or warranty about
the suitability of the Premises for Tenant's use or the condition of the
Premises or the building systems including, without limitation, the condition,
installation or ownership of any intrabuilding network cabling.
(b) Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, keep the
Premises and every part thereof in good condition and repair and, upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, surrender the Premises to
Landlord in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Tenant's
obligations hereunder shall include maintenance and repair of all
telecommunications wiring and cabling in the Premises.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 12(a) above,
Landlord shall repair and maintain the structural portions of the Premises,
including, but not limited to, the plumbing, electrical and heating, ventilating
and air conditioning systems installed or furnished by Landlord (but excluding
exposed plumbing and related fixtures located in the Premises which shall be
maintained by Tenant) in accordance with
applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations or governmental
agencies having jurisdiction over Landlord. Landlord also shall maintain the
Common Areas outside the Building. Tenant, as an Operating Expense under
Paragraph 5(c) (subject to the exclusions set forth therein), shall pay its pro
rata share of all costs incurred by Landlord in repairing and maintaining the
structural portions of the Premises and such systems described above and the
Common Areas outside the Building, unless such maintenance and repairs are
caused in whole or in part by the act, neglect, fault or omission of any duty by
Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors or invitees, in which
case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord in
performing such maintenance and repairs.
Except as provided in Paragraph 20 hereof, there shall be no abatement
of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference
with Tenant's business arising from the making of any necessary repairs,
alterations or improvements to any portion of the Premises or Common Areas, or
to any fixtures, appurtenances and equipment located in, on or about the
Premises or Common Areas, provided that Landlord in making such repairs shall do
so in a manner so as to minimize such interference. Tenant waives the right to
make repairs at Landlord's expense under any law, statute or ordinance now or
hereafter in effect.
13. Assignment and Subletting.
(a) Tenant shall not, voluntarily or by operation of law,
assign or transfer all or any portion of Tenant's interest under this Lease or
in the Premises, sublease all or any portion of the Premises, or allow any other
person or entity (except Tenant's employees, agents and invitees) to occupy or
use all or any portion of the Premises, without the prior written consent of
Landlord. Landlord's consent shall not be unreasonably withheld subject to the
terms of this Paragraph 13. Without limiting Landlord's right to withhold such
written consent under this Paragraph 13, Landlord's refusal to provide such
written consent shall be deemed reasonable if:
(i) The character, reputation and financial
responsibility of the proposed assignee, transferee or subtenant is not
satisfactory to Landlord or, in any event, is not at least equal to the
character, reputation and financial responsibility possessed by Tenant or
represented to Landlord to be possessed by Tenant as of the date of the
execution of this Lease and/or the date of the requested consent; or
(ii) The proposed assignee, transferee or subtenant
fails to agree in writing to assume and be bound by all of the terms and
provisions of this Lease.
(b) To the extent that the aggregate amount of any rental or
other payments to be made by the proposed assignee, transferee or sublessee to
Tenant exceeds the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of the monthly Base Rent
payable by Tenant to Landlord during the term of such sublease, transfer or
assignment or the
remaining Term of the Lease, whichever expires earlier, (ii) the amount of any
commissions payable in connection with such sublease, transfer or assignment,
and (iii) the cost of any alterations or improvements reasonably requested to be
installed in connection with such sublease, transfer or assignment, such excess
amount shall be amortized ratably over the term of such sublease, transfer or
assignment or the remaining Term of the Lease, whichever expires earlier, and
fifty percent (50%) of such amortized portion of such excess amount shall be
paid by Tenant to Landlord on the first day of each month during the applicable
term.
(c) If Tenant is a corporation or at any time becomes a
corporation which, under the then current laws of the State of California, is
not deemed a public corporation, or is an unincorporated association or
partnership, the transfer or assignment, directly or indirectly, of any stock or
interest in such corporation, association or partnership during the Term of this
Lease which, in the aggregate, exceeds forty-nine percent (49%) of the total
shares and/or interest of such corporation, association or partnership and is
accompanied by a material change in senior management shall be deemed an
assignment within the meaning and provisions of this Paragraph 13.
(d) In the event Tenant proposes to transfer, assign, or
sublet the Premises or Tenant's interest under this Lease, enter into any
license or concession agreement or effect any change of ownership in the
Premises, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days prior to the proposed
transaction, supply to Landlord the following in writing:
(i) The name and address of the proposed assignee,
transferee or subtenant.
(ii) All details as to the proposed assignment,
subletting or transfer, including, without limitation, all of the terms and
conditions thereof and all sums or consideration to be paid in connection
therewith.
(iii) A financial statement certified by an officer,
partner or principal of the proposed assignee, transferee or subtenant, dated
within thirty (30) days of the date of notification of the proposed transfer,
assignment, sublease.
(iv) Within ten (10) days prior to any transfer,
assignment or sublease, true, correct and complete copies of all agreements,
assignments, subleases and documents pertaining thereto.
Anything contained in this Paragraph 13 to the contrary
notwithstanding, no transfer, assignment or subletting of the Premises or
Tenant's interest under this Lease shall be effective unless all of the above
provisions are complied with within the time limits provided herein.
(e) Any additional documentation reasonably required by
Landlord shall be prepared and executed by Tenant and its assignee, subtenant or
transferee and delivered to Landlord prior to, and as a condition to the
effectiveness of, any such assignment, sublease or transfer. Tenant shall pay to
Landlord upon demand all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord's analysis and
processing of, and review, preparation and negotiation of all documentation
related to, any proposed assignment, sublease or transfer, whether or not
Landlord consents thereto.
(f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
no sublease, transfer or assignment by Tenant of the Premises or Tenant's
interest under this Lease shall release Tenant or any guarantor from any
liability under this Lease, regardless of whether or not Landlord's consent is
required herein, nor shall Landlord's failure to give Tenant or any such
guarantor notice of Tenant's default under any of the terms or conditions of
this Lease release Tenant or such guarantor from any liability hereunder. A
consent to any assignment, subletting, occupation or use shall not be deemed a
consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupation or use. Any
purported assignment, subletting or permission to occupy or use the Premises
without the prior written consent of Landlord shall be void and shall, at the
option of Landlord, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease.
14. Indemnity.
(a) Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, its
partners, officers, directors, employees and agents and Landlord's property
harmless from and against any and all liability, claims, loss, damages and
expenses, including attorney's fees and costs of suit, arising by reason of
death or injury to any person, including Tenant or any person who is an
employee, agent, contractor, subcontractor or invitee of Tenant, or by reason of
any damage to or destruction of any property, including property owned by Tenant
or any person who is an employee, agent, contractor, subcontractor or invitee of
Tenant, arising out of any occurrence in, on or about the Premises or Common
Areas, or any part thereof, if and to the extent: (i) caused or contributed to
by Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors or invitees;
(ii) resulting from a breach or default by Tenant under this Lease; (iii)
arising out of any occurrence in, on or about the Premises on account of the
use, condition, occupational safety or occupancy of the Premises; (iv) arising
out of any alterations, additions or improvements undertaken by Tenant or any
work or services performed for or materials used by or furnished to Tenant or
its employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors or invitees with respect to
the Premises (including the removal of any mechanics' liens); (v) arising out of
the transportation, handling, use, generation, storage, disposal or release of
any Hazardous Materials in, on or about any portion of the Premises or Common
Areas by Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors or
invitees; or (vi) resulting from Tenant's delay or failure to surrender the
Premises in accordance with Paragraph 27 below.
Tenant's obligations under this subparagraph (a) shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease.
Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant, its partners,
officers, directors, employees and agents and Tenant's property harmless from
and against any and all liability, claims, loss, damages and expenses, including
attorneys' fees and costs of suit, arising by reason of death or injury to any
person, including Landlord or any person who is an employee, agent, contractor,
subcontractor or invitee of Landlord, or by reason of any damage to or
destruction of any property, including property owned by Landlord or any person
who is an employee, agent, contractor, subcontractor or invitee of Landlord,
arising out of any occurrence in, on or about the Premises or Common Areas, or
any part thereof, if and to the extent: (i) caused or contributed to by Landlord
or its employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors or invitees; (ii)
resulting from a breach or default by Landlord under this Lease; (iii) arising
out of any alterations, additions or improvements undertaken by Landlord or any
work or services performed for Landlord or its employees, agents, contractors,
subcontractors or invitees with respect to the Premises; or (iv) arising out of
the transportation, handling, use, generation, storage, disposal or release of
any Hazardous Materials in, on or about any portion of the Premises or Common
Areas by Landlord or its employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors or
invitees; provided, however, that Landlord's liability hereunder shall not
include or extend to any loss of profits or loss of business by Tenant.
Landlord's obligations under this subparagraph (a) shall survive the expiration
or earlier termination of this Lease.
(b) Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property and
death or injury to persons in, on or about the Premises from any cause other
than Landlord's negligence or misconduct, and Tenant hereby waives all claims in
respect to such death, injury or damage against Landlord. Landlord and its
agents shall not be liable for any damage to property entrusted to employees of
Landlord or its agents, any loss or damage to any property by theft or
otherwise, or any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from any
cause whatsoever, unless caused by or due to the negligence of Landlord, its
agents or employees.
(c) If any action or proceeding is brought by reason of any
claim which is subject to a party's indemnity obligation under this Paragraph 14
and in which the other party is named a party, such party shall defend the other
party therein at the indemnifying party's expense by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party.
(d) Landlord and its agents and employees shall not be liable
for interference with light or other incorporeal hereditaments or loss of
business by Tenant. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in case of fire
or accidents in the Premises or the Common Areas or of alleged defects in the
Premises or any fixtures or equipment located therein.
15. Insurance.
(a) Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, obtain
and keep in force, during the entire Term of this Lease, the following insurance
policies:
(i) Commercial general public liability insurance
insuring Landlord and Tenant against claims for personal injury, death and
property damage occurring in, on or about the Premises and all areas appurtenant
thereto. Such insurance shall include contractual indemnity coverage for
Tenant's indemnity obligation under Paragraph 14 and contain a cross-liability
(severability of interests) clause and an extended (broad form) liability
endorsement, including blanket coverage. The minimum acceptable amount of
comprehensive liability insurance is $2,000,000 against claims in any
occurrence, and property damage insurance in an amount of not less than
$1,000,000 per occurrence, with a combined single limit of $3,000,000. The limit
of said insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of Tenant hereunder.
(ii) Business interruption insurance, insuring Tenant
for a period of twelve (12) months against losses arising from interruption of
Tenant's business (including interruption in Tenant's telecommunication
services) and for lost profits, and charges and expenses which continue but
would have been earned if the business had gone on without interruption,
insuring against such perils, in such form and with such deductible amounts as
are reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.
(iii) All of said policies shall name Landlord, and if
requested by Landlord, any lender holding an encumbrance on the Premises as an
additional insured. If Tenant fails to maintain and procure said insurance,
Landlord may, but shall not be required to procure and maintain the same at the
expense of Tenant. Insurance required hereunder shall be with insurance
companies rated A-Class X or better in "Best's Insurance Guide." Tenant may
carry any of said policies under a blanket policy. Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord prior to Tenant's occupancy of the Premises copies of policies of the
insurance required herein or certificates evidencing the existence and amount of
such insurance, including, for Tenant's liability insurance, loss payable
clauses satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall also during the Lease Term, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, procure and keep in force such other insurance
as required by law, including, without limitation, workers' compensation
insurance. No policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage
except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord. The above stated
minimum levels of coverage are subject to amendment by Landlord upon ninety (90)
days written notice should economic or other conditions, in the reasonable
judgment of Landlord, warrant adjustment thereof.
(b) Landlord shall carry and maintain, during the entire Term
of this Lease, fire and all risk insurance insuring the Premises for their full
replacement cost. Said insurance policy or policies shall cover at least the
following risks: fire, smoke damage, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, riot
attending a strike, civil commotion,
malicious mischief, vandalism, aircraft and sprinkler leakage, and, at
Landlord's option, earthquake and flood, provided such insurance is available at
commercially reasonable rates and is generally carried by owners of comparable
properties in the area. Additionally, such policy or policies shall have a loss
of rents endorsement. Landlord shall also carry a general liability policy with
limits as Landlord deems reasonable. The premiums for such policy or policies
shall be included in Operating Expenses. Any loss payable under such property
damage insurance shall be payable to Landlord and any lender holding an
encumbrance on the Premises. The proceeds from any such policy or policies for
damages to the Premises shall be used for the repair of the Premises, except as
otherwise set forth in Paragraph 20.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 14, Landlord
hereby releases Tenant, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord, and their
respective partners, officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents,
from any and all claims or demands of damages, losses, expenses or injury to the
Premises or the Common Areas, or to the furnishings, fixtures, equipment,
inventory or other property of either Landlord or Tenant in, on or about the
Premises or the Common Areas, which is caused by or results from insured perils,
events or happenings to the extent covered by the insurance required to be
carried by the respective parties pursuant to this Paragraph 15 and in force at
the time of any such loss, whether due to the negligence of the other party or
its partners, officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents, and
regardless of cause or origin; provided, however, that such waiver shall be
effective only to the extent permitted by the collectible insurance covering
such loss and to the extent such insurance policies and coverage are not
prejudiced thereby. Each party shall use reasonable efforts to cause each
insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the insurer waives all right of
recovery by way of subrogation against the other party (and such other party's
partners, officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents, if
applicable) in connection with any injury or damage covered by such policy.
(d) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the casualty insurance
coverage carried by Landlord will not cover Alterations in the Premises
installed by Tenant at Tenant's expense or Tenant's personal property, equipment
or fixtures located within the Premises. Tenant may, in its own discretion,
maintain casualty insurance on its personal property, equipment and fixtures at
its own cost and expense.
16. Services and Utilities.
(a) Landlord shall cause to be furnished to the Premises
during the term of this Lease, water and sanitary sewer services required for
general office use. The cost of furnishing such water and sanitary sewer
services shall be an Operating Expense as defined in Paragraph 5(d) above.
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and
Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any and all claims, liabilities, damages,
losses, actions, costs and expenses as a result of or related to any
interruption of water and/or sanitary sewer services for reasons beyond
the control of Landlord; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord be liable
to Tenant for lost profits or loss of business. The actions of any water or
sanitary sewer company or public utility or governmental agency providing water
or sanitary sewer services shall not be imputed to Landlord. Landlord shall
provide Tenant with a connection for Tenant's telecommunications wiring and
cabling ("Interior Wire") to the point of connection with the local regulated
public utility. Such connection shall be from the telecommunications line closet
serving the Premises to the demarcation points supplied by the local regulated
public utility. Tenant understands and acknowledges that the telecommunications
capacity supplied to the Premises shall not exceed the capacity for which the
Premises was designed. If Tenant requires any extraordinary telecommunication
services that require any increase in the capacity of the Premises'
telecommunications system and/or intrabuilding network cabling, then Tenant
shall pay, as additional rent, the cost of any alterations, modifications or
improvements required to be made to the Premises's telecommunications system
and/or intrabuilding network cabling to provide such extraordinary service. All
connection, disconnection, removal, repair and installation of
telecommunications lines and cabling shall be performed by a qualified
contractor approved by Landlord in advance. Landlord shall not be liable for,
and Tenant shall not be entitled to, any reduction of rental nor shall a
constructive eviction be deemed to have occurred by reason of Landlord's failure
to furnish any of the foregoing utilities and services when such failure is
caused by accident, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockout or labor disturbances or
disputes of any character, or by any other cause, similar or dissimilar, beyond
the reasonable control of Landlord. Landlord shall be liable for any loss of or
injury to property, however occurring, in connection with the furnishing or
failure to furnish any of the foregoing utilities and services for reasons
beyond Landlord's control. In no event shall Landlord be liable for, and Tenant
hereby releases Landlord from any and all claims for loss, damage, cost or
expense incurred by Tenant as a result of the interruption of any water,
sanitary sewer or telecommunications services. If heat generating machines or
equipment used in the Premises affect the temperature otherwise maintained by
the air conditioning units in the Premises and/or the cost of providing air
conditioning services to the Premises, including the cost of installation, the
costs resulting therefrom shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand by
Landlord.
(b) Tenant shall not pay during the Lease Term, and prior to
delinquency, all charges for janitorial service, electricity, light, power,
telephone and other communication service supplied to or consumed on the
Premises (collectively "Utilities") and all taxes, levies and surcharges
therefor. Tenant shall arrange for janitorial services and electricity to be
supplied to the Premises and Tenant shall contract in its own name for the
aforementioned Utilities. The Commencement Date shall not be delayed by reason
of any failure by Tenant to contract for such Utilities in its own name.
Landlord agrees that prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord shall, at its sole
cost, cause electricity to be separately metered on the first and second floors
of the Premises.
(c) Tenant shall not, without the written consent of Landlord,
use any apparatus, machine, system or device in the Premises which will
overburden or exceed the capacity of the electrical system in the Premises.
Tenant shall not connect with electric current, except through approved
electrical outlets in the Premises or such additional electrical outlets as may
be installed by a licensed electrical contractor in conformance with applicable
building codes. If Tenant requires water in excess of that usually furnished or
supplied for the use of the Premises as general office space, Tenant shall first
procure the written consent of Landlord (which Landlord may withhold in its sole
and absolute discretion), and Landlord may cause a separate water meter to be
installed in the Premises to measure the amount of water consumed for any such
use. The cost of installation, maintenance and repair of any such meter shall be
paid by Tenant. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord promptly upon demand for all
such excess water consumed as shown by said meter, at the rate charged for such
service by the local public utility furnishing the same, plus any additional
expenses incurred in keeping account of the water so consumed. If a separate
meter is not so installed, such excess cost for such water shall be established
and adjusted from time to time by an estimate made by a utility company or
electrical engineer.
(d) Landlord shall be entitled to cooperate voluntarily and in
a reasonable manner with the efforts of federal, state or local government
agencies or utility suppliers for reducing energy or other resource consumption.
The lack or shortage of any service or utility shall not affect Tenant's
obligations hereunder, and Tenant shall faithfully keep and observe all of the
terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease and pay all rentals due hereunder
without abatement, setoff, diminution, credit or deduction.
17. Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay before delinquency all taxes
levied or assessed against Tenant's leasehold improvements, equipment,
furniture, fixtures and personal property located in the Premises. If any of
Tenant's leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture, fixtures and personal
property are assessed and taxed with the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
its share of such taxes within ten (10) days after delivery by Landlord to
Tenant of a statement in writing setting forth the amount of taxes applicable to
Tenant's property.
18. Rules and Regulations. [intentionally omitted]
19. Entry by Landlord.
(a) Landlord reserves the right to enter the Premises at any
reasonable time to inspect the Premises, to provide any services which Landlord
is obligated to provide to Tenant hereunder, to submit the Premises to
prospective purchasers, lenders, or tenants, to post notices of
non-responsibility, and to alter, improve, maintain or repair the Premises, all
without abatement of rent. Except in cases of emergencies and for purposes of
posting notices of nonresponsibility, Landlord shall provide Tenant with
reasonable prior telephone notice of each such entry prior to entering the
Premises.
Landlord may erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably
required by the character of the work to be performed, but shall not block the
entrance to the Premises nor unreasonably interfere with Tenant's business,
except as reasonably required for the particular activities of Landlord.
Landlord shall not be liable in any manner for any inconvenience, disturbance,
loss of business, nuisance, interference with quiet enjoyment, or other damage
arising out of Landlord's entry on the Premises as provided in this paragraph,
except damage, if any, resulting from the negligence of Landlord or its
authorized representatives, provided that Landlord in any such entry shall
minimize interference with Tenant's business.
(b) Landlord shall retain a key with which to unlock all doors
into, within and about the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults, safes and files.
In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means which Landlord
deems reasonably necessary to obtain entry to the Premises without liability to
Tenant, except for any failure to exercise due care regarding Tenant's property.
Any such entry to the Premises by Landlord shall not be construed or deemed to
be a forcible or unlawful entry or detainer of the Premises, or an eviction of
Tenant from all or any portion of the Premises.
20. Destruction/Reconstruction.
(a) If the Premises are damaged or destroyed by any casualty
covered by the casualty insurance carried by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph
15(b) above, the cost of restoration will not exceed twenty-five percent (25%)
of the full insurable value of the Premises, and the net insurance proceeds paid
or made available to Landlord for restoration or rebuilding of the Premises are
sufficient to restore the affected portion of the Premises under then-existing
building codes to the condition existing immediately prior to such damage or
destruction, then Landlord shall promptly and diligently proceed to repair and
restore the same to substantially the same condition existing immediately prior
to such damage or destruction; provided, however, and subject to Paragraph
15(c), that should such damage or destruction be caused by the act, negligence
or fault or omission of any duty by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors,
subcontractors, or invitees, Tenant (and not Landlord) shall be so obligated to
repair and restore the Premises.
If the Premises are damaged or destroyed by any casualty where the cost
of restoration is equal to or greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of the full
insurable value of the Premises, or where the casualty is not required to be
insured against by Landlord, or where the casualty is actually insured against
by Landlord but the insurance proceeds paid or made available to Landlord plus
applicable deductibles are insufficient to restore the affected portion of the
Premises under then-existing building codes to the condition existing
immediately prior to such damage or destruction, then Landlord may (but shall
not be obligated to) repair and restore such damage or destruction to the
Premises. Landlord shall make such election within sixty (60) days after the
event
causing such damage or destruction by providing Tenant with written notice
thereof. If Landlord elects not to repair or restore the Premises as provided in
this paragraph, then this Lease shall terminate upon the date of Landlord's
election not to repair or restore the same.
If the damage or destruction was caused by the negligent act or
omission of any duty by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors,
subcontractors or invitees, then, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
in this Paragraph 20, and subject to Paragraph 15(c), Tenant shall be liable to
Landlord therefor. If Landlord elects not to repair or restore the Premises,
Tenant shall comply with each of the following conditions: (i) Tenant shall pay
to Landlord all rentals prorated to the date of termination, provided that
monthly Base Rent shall, following such damage or destruction, be
proportionately reduced (to the extent of rental loss insurance proceeds paid to
Landlord) based upon the extent to which such damage or destruction interferes
with Tenant's business conducted on the Premises, as reasonably determined by
Landlord; (ii) the insurance proceeds paid by Landlord's insurer for loss or
damage to the Premises shall be disbursed to Landlord, including, without
limitation, any proceeds available from insurance carried by Tenant which covers
loss to fixtures or any other property which is the property of Landlord or
which would become the property of Landlord upon termination of this Lease, and
any other insurance carried by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 15(a) above; and
(iii) Tenant shall deliver possession of the Premises to Landlord and quitclaim
to Landlord all right, title and interest of Tenant in and to the Premises, upon
the date of Landlord's election not to repair or restore the affected portion of
the Premises.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Paragraph 20, if the Premises are damaged or destroyed in whole or in part
during the last twelve (12) months of the Term of this Lease, Landlord may
terminate this Lease as of the date of the event of such damage or destruction
by giving written notice to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after the event of
such damage or destruction, of Landlord's election to so terminate this Lease.
(c) If Landlord is required or elects to repair the damage or
destruction to the Premises pursuant to Paragraph 20(a) above, then (i) this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect; (ii) monthly Base Rent shall be
proportionately reduced (to the extent of rental loss insurance proceeds paid to
Landlord) during the period of repair based upon the extent to which the making
of repairs interferes with Tenant's business conducted on the Premises, as
reasonably determined by Landlord; and (iii) the applicable deductibles shall be
included in Operating Expenses, which deductibles shall be reasonable in amount.
Landlord shall not have any liability for, nor be required to, repair or replace
any Alterations installed in the Premises at Tenant's expense or any personal
property, equipment and fixtures of Tenant or any other items required to be
insured by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 15(a) above, and Tenant shall be
obligated to
promptly rebuild or restore the same to the condition existing immediately prior
to such damage or destruction in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 10
above.
Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for any damage suffered by
reason of any such damage, destruction, repair or restoration, nor shall Tenant
have any right to terminate this Lease as a result thereof, provided that if
such damage or destruction materially interferes with Tenant's use of the
Premises, Tenant may terminate this Lease if the Premises cannot reasonably be
or in fact are not restored within one hundred twenty (120) days following the
casualty.
Tenant waives any right to terminate this Lease upon any such damage or
destruction, including, without limitation, any rights under section 1932 and
subdivision 4 of section 1933 of the Civil Code of California, as amended from
time to time, or under the provisions of any similar laws hereinafter enacted.
21. Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall
constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease:
(a) The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant.
(b) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or any
other payment required of Tenant hereunder as and when due, where such failure
continues for a period of three (3) days after written notice thereof by
Landlord to Tenant.
(c) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the
covenants, conditions or provision of this Lease, where such failure continues
for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to
Tenant; provided, however, that if Tenant's default is such that more than
thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be
deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure within said thirty (30)
day period and, thereafter, diligently pursues the same to completion.
(d) The making by Tenant of any general assignment or general
arrangement for the benefit of creditors, the filing by or against Tenant of a
petition to have Tenant adjudged bankrupt, or the reorganization or arrangement
under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed
against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days; the appointment of
a trustee or a receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's
assets located in the Premises or Tenant's interest in this Lease, where
possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or the attachment,
execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets
located in the Premises or Tenant's interest in this Lease, where such seizure
is not discharged within thirty (30) days.
22. Remedies. Landlord shall have the following remedies if Tenant is
in default under this Lease. These remedies are not exclusive; they are
cumulative and in addition to any remedies now or later allowed by law:
(a) Upon the default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord
shall have the remedies described in California Civil Code section 1951.4 (i.e.,
Landlord may continue the Lease in effect after Tenant's breach and abandonment
and recover rent as it becomes due if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign,
subject to reasonable limitations). Neither any efforts by Landlord to mitigate
damages caused by a default by Tenant under this Lease nor the acceptance of any
rent shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of any of Landlord's rights or
remedies, including, without limitation, the rights or remedies specified in
this Paragraph 22(b) below. Upon any default by Tenant under this Lease,
Landlord may enter the Premises and relet them, or any part of them, to third
parties for Tenant's account. In addition to rent otherwise due and payable
hereunder, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all costs which Landlord
incurs in reletting the Premises, including, without limitation, costs incurred
to remodel the Premises if reasonably required for such reletting. Any such
reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term of the
Lease. No act by Landlord allowed by this Paragraph 22(a) shall terminate this
Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that Landlord elects to
terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises. If Tenant obtains
Landlord's consent, Tenant shall have the right to assign or sublet its interest
in this Lease, but Tenant shall not be released from liability under this Lease.
Landlord's consent to a proposed assignment or subletting shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
(b) Upon any default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may
terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises. No act by Landlord other
than giving written notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease, including acts
of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver.
Upon such termination, Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant:
(i) The worth at the time of the award computed by
allowing interest from the termination date of the Lease through the date of
award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of said termination
date; plus
(ii) The worth at the time of the award computed by
allowing interest from the termination date of the Lease through the date of
award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after
the said termination date until the time of the award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(iii) The worth at the time of the award of the amount
by which the unpaid rents for the balance of the term of the Lease after the
time of award
exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably
avoided; and
(iv) Any other amounts necessary to compensate Landlord
for detriment proximately caused by the default by Tenant or which, in the
ordinary course of events, would likely result therefrom, without limitation (A)
expenses in retaking possession of the Premises, (B) expenses for cleaning and
making repairs and alterations (including installation of leasehold
improvements, whether or not the same shall be funded by a reduction of rent,
direct payment or otherwise) necessary to return the Premises to good condition
and preparing the Premises for reletting, (C) expenses for removing,
transporting or storing any of Tenant's personal property left at the Premises
(although Landlord shall have no obligation to remove, transport or store any
such personal property), (D) expenses of reletting the Premises, including
without limitation, brokerage commissions, advertising costs and attorneys'
fees, (E) attorneys' fees and court costs, (F) any unamortized real estate
brokerage commissions paid in connection with this Lease, and (G) any cost of
carrying the Premises, such as repairs, maintenance, taxes and insurance
premiums, and utilities.
"The worth at the time of the award" of the amounts referred to in (i)
and (ii) of this Paragraph 22(b) shall be computed by allowing interest at the
maximum rate allowed by law. "The worth at the time of the award" of the amount
referred to in (iii) of this Paragraph 22(b) shall be computed by discounting
such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at
the time of the award, plus one percent (1%).
23. Eminent Domain. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
Premises is taken or appropriated by any public or quasi-public authority under
powers of eminent domain, or if less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
Premises is taken or appropriated and the Premises or Common Areas remaining are
inadequate for the continued operation of Tenant's business therein as
reasonably determined by Tenant, either party hereto shall have the right, at
its option, to terminate this Lease. If less than twenty-five percent (25%) of
the Premises is taken (or if neither party elects to terminate this Lease in the
event more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises is taken), this Lease
and Tenant's obligation to pay rent as provided herein shall continue in full
force and effect; provided, however, that such rental shall be equitably reduced
by Landlord. Whether or not this Lease is terminated by reason of any such
taking or appropriation, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award and
compensation for the taking which is paid or made by the public or quasi-public
agency, and Tenant shall have no claim against said award, except for amounts
paid directly to Tenant for its moving expenses, interruption to its business,
damage to its personal property or trade fixtures, or goodwill. A voluntary sale
by Landlord to any public body or agency having the power of eminent domain,
either under threat of condemnation or while the condemnation proceedings are
pending, shall be deemed to be a taking under the power of eminent domain for
the purposes of this paragraph.
24. Estoppel Certificate. Tenant shall, at any time and from time to
time, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice from Landlord,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing, (a)
certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if
modified, stating the nature of such modifications and certifying that this
Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect), the amount of any security
deposit and the date to which any rentals or other charges are paid in advance,
if any, (b) acknowledging that there are not, any unsecured defaults under the
Lease, or specifying such defaults, if any, which are claimed, and (c)
certifying to such other facts as Landlord may reasonably request. Any such
statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the
Premises, any purchasers of Tenant's business or any successor-in-interest of
Tenant. Tenant's failure to execute and deliver any estopped certificate
requested by Landlord within said ten (10) day period shall be conclusive
evidence upon Tenant that (i) this Lease is in full force and effect without
modification except as may be represented by Landlord and has not been assigned,
(ii) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, (iii) no rentals
have been paid in advance except those set forth in the Lease.
Landlord shall, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than
ten (10) days prior written notice from Tenant, execute, acknowledge and deliver
to Tenant a statement in writing, (a) certifying that this Lease is unmodified
and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such
modifications and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force
and effect), the amount of any security deposit and the date to which any
rentals or other charges are paid in advance, if any, (b) acknowledging that
there are not, any unsecured defaults under the Lease, or specifying such
defaults, if any, which are claimed, and (c) certifying to such other facts as
Tenant may reasonably request. Any such statement may be relied upon by any
prospective purchasers of Tenant's business or any successor-in-interest of
Tenant. Landlord's failure to execute and deliver any estopped certificate
requested by Tenant within said ten (10) day period shall be conclusive evidence
upon Landlord that (i) this Lease is in full force and effect without
modification except as may be represented by Tenant and has not been assigned,
(ii) there are no uncured defaults in Tenant's performance, (iii) no rentals
have been paid in advance except those set forth in the Lease.
25. Subordination. Tenant agrees that, upon the request of Landlord and
any present or future holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or other encumbrance
affecting the Premises, Tenant shall subordinate this Lease and its rights
hereunder to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or other encumbrance,
together with any consolidations, renewals, extensions or replacements thereof,
now or hereafter placed, charged or enforced against Landlord's interest in the
Premises, this Lease or the leasehold estate hereby created. Tenant shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, upon written request by Landlord,
such documents as may be required to effectuate such subordination.
In the event that any proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or in
the event of the exercise of the power of sale, under any mortgage, deed of
trust or other encumbrance covering the Premises, Tenant shall attorn to the
purchaser or transferee upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such
purchaser or transferee as the landlord under this Lease. In the event that any
mortgagee, beneficiary or encumbrancer requires Landlord to obtain from Tenant a
separate attornment agreement in favor of such mortgagee, beneficiary or
encumbrancer, Tenant shall, upon written request by Landlord, execute and
deliver to Landlord an attornment agreement in a form acceptable to such
mortgagee, beneficiary or encumbrancer.
In the event that the mortgagee, beneficiary or such other party named
in any such mortgage, deed of trust or other encumbrance elects to have this
Lease prior to its mortgage, deed of trust or other encumbrance, then, upon such
mortgagee, beneficiary or such other party giving written notice to Tenant to
that effect, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust or
other encumbrance, whether or not this Lease is dated or recorded prior to or
subsequent to the date of recordation of such mortgage, deed of trust or other
encumbrance. Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, upon
written request by Landlord, such documents as may be required to effectuate the
priority of the Lease to such mortgage, deed of trust or other encumbrance.
In the event that Tenant shall fail, neglect, or refuse to execute and
deliver any such documents within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord's
written request to do so, such failure, neglect or refund shall constitute a
default by Tenant under the Lease.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Paragraph 25, Tenant's
quiet possession, use and enjoyment of the Premises shall not be disturbed so
long as Tenant duly performs its obligations under the Lease.
26. Parking. Tenant acknowledges that the owners, occupants, tenants,
guests or invitees of that certain residential property located adjacent to or
near the Premises have the right to park in not more than ten (10) parking
spaces in the parking area of the Common Areas on weeknights and on weekends.
Except for such third party parking rights described in the immediately
preceding sentence, Landlord agrees that during the term of the Lease, Landlord
will not grant to any third party the right to park in the parking area of the
Common Areas; it being understood that the parking area is intended, subject to
the provisions of this Paragraph 26, for the use of Tenant, any of Tenant's
approved subtenants, and their respective guests, invitees and licensees. The
preceding to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and its property manager and
their respective agents, employees, contractors and invitees shall have the
right to park in the aforementioned parking area of the Common Area in
connection with the performance of Landlord's obligations under the Lease and
the management and operation of the Project. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant
shall have the right to use all of the parking spaces in the parking area in the
Common Areas as shown on Exhibit "A" for the Term
of this Lease at no additional charge to Tenant. Tenant's parking spaces shall
be located in areas designated by Landlord from time to time in the Common
Areas. Except as expressly provided in this Paragraph 26 below, Tenant agrees
that Landlord shall not be responsible for enforcing Tenant's right to use the
parking spaces, and the use of the parking spaces by any other party shall in no
way affect this Lease or, unless Landlord has violated its covenant set forth in
the second sentence of this Paragraph 26, impose any liability on Landlord.
Landlord shall have the right to do the following, in Landlord's discretion: (i)
to designate employee parking areas within the Common Areas and to institute
measures to monitor compliance; (ii) to designate exclusive parking areas for
other authorized users; (iii) to promulgate reasonable rules and regulations
relating to the use of the parking areas; and/or (iv) to have any vehicles owned
by Tenant or Tenant's employees which are parked in violation of the provisions
of the rules and regulations towed away at Tenant's cost. If any third party is
parking in the parking areas of the Common Areas in violation of the terms of
this Paragraph 26, then upon notice from Tenant to Landlord in writing, Landlord
shall promptly take action to remove, or cause to be removed, any third party
vehicles parked in violation of the terms of Paragraph 26. If Landlord does not
take action to remove, or cause to be removed any third party vehicles parked in
violation of the terms of this Paragraph 26 promptly following receipt of
written notice thereof, then Tenant may take action to remove such vehicles
parked in violation of the terms of this Paragraph 26 and Tenant shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from any and all claims, actions,
damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of, or related to, the removal of any
vehicles by Tenant. If Landlord elects or is required to limit or control
parking on the Common Areas, by validation of parking tickets or any other
method, then Tenant agrees to participate in such validation or other program
under such reasonable rules and regulations as are from time to time
established. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall have the right to close off all
or any portion of the parking areas at reasonable times for any purpose,
including without limitation, the prevention of a dedication thereof or the
accrual of rights in any person or the public therein. The parking area shall
not be used by Tenant, its agents or employees for any purpose other than the
parking of motor vehicles and the ingress and egress of pedestrians and motor
vehicles.
27. Surrender of Premises. Upon the expiration or earlier termination
of the Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the condition
existing as of the Commencement Date (as to the first floor of the Premises) and
the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date (as to the second floor of the Premises)
(normal wear and tear excepted), free of any Hazardous Materials caused or
contributed to by Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors
or invitees. Tenant shall remove all of Tenant's personal property from the
Premises and any alterations, additions or improvements designated by Landlord
for removal at the time Landlord gives its consent thereto. Tenant shall repair
any damage caused by removal of its Personal Property and any alterations,
additions and improvements in accordance with all applicable laws, statutes,
building codes and regulations in effect as of the date of such restoration. In
addition, on or before the expiration of the Lease, Tenant shall remove, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, all telephone, telecommunications, computer and
any other cabling or wiring of any sort installed by Tenant in the Premises and
shall promptly repair any damage to the Premises resulting from such removal,
and restore the Premises to the condition that existed prior to the installation
of such cabling and wiring in accordance with all applicable laws, statutes,
building codes and regulations in effect as of the date of such restoration. All
such property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant. If the
Premises are not so surrendered at the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and its agents,
employees, contractors and subcontractors harmless from and against any and all
loss or liability resulting therefrom.
28. Landlord Default and Mortgagee Protection.
(a) Notice to Landlord; Landlord's Right to Cure. In the event
Landlord fails to perform any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this
Lease to be performed by Landlord, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default
under this Lease unless and until it has failed to cure such default within
thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying the
nature of the default; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's
default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its
cure, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if Landlord shall
commence such cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter shall
diligently prosecute the same to completion.
(b) Notice to Lenders; Lenders' Right to Cure. Tenant agrees
to give Landlord's lenders, by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default
by Landlord served upon Landlord, provided that, prior to such notice, Tenant
has been notified, in writing, by way of notice of assignment of rents and
leases, or otherwise, of the addresses of Landlord's lenders. Tenant further
agrees that if Landlord shall fail to cure such default within the time provided
for in paragraph 28(a) above, then Landlord's lenders shall have an additional
sixty (60) days within which to cure such default or, if such default cannot be
cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if, within
such sixty (60) day period, Landlord's lenders have commenced and are diligently
pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including, but not limited
to, commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effectuate such
cure).
29. Authority.
(a) Corporate Authority. If Tenant is a corporation, each
individual executing this Lease on behalf of said corporation represents and
warrants that such individual is duly authorized to execute and deliver this
Lease on behalf of said corporation in accordance with a duly adopted resolution
of the board of directors of said corporation or the bylaws of said corporation,
and that this Lease is binding upon said corporation in accordance with its
terms.
(b) Partnership Authority. If Tenant is a partnership, each
individual executing this Lease on behalf of said partnership represents and
warrants that such individual is duly authorized to execute and deliver this
Lease on behalf of said partnership and that this Lease is binding upon said

30. General Provisions.
(a) Clauses, plats, exhibits and riders, if any, affixed to
this Lease are a part hereof.
(b) The waiver by Landlord of any term, covenant or condition
contained herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or
condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or
condition contained herein. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by
Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of
any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant
to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of
such breach at the time of the acceptance of such rent.
(c) All notices and demands which may or are required to be
given by either party hereunder shall be in writing. All notices and demands by
Landlord to Tenant shall be sufficient if delivered in person or sent by
overnight courier service (provided written receipt of delivery) or by United
States Mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Tenant at the Premises or to such
other place as Tenant may from time to time designate by written notice to
Landlord. All notices and demands by Tenant to Landlord shall be sufficient if
delivered in person or sent by overnight courier service (providing written
receipt of delivery) or by United States Mail, postage prepaid, addressed to
Landlord c/o JMA Properties, Ltd., 280 Second Street, Suite 220, Los Altos,
California, 94022, Attn: Mr. Art Chapman, or to such other person or place as
Landlord may from time to time designate by written notice to Tenant. Any such
notice shall be effective at the time of delivery or, if mailed, two (2)
business days after posting.
(d) If there shall be more than one person or entity
comprising Tenant, the obligations hereunder imposed upon such persons or
entities shall be joint and several.
(e) The paragraph headings and titles to the paragraphs of
this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon the
construction or interpretation of any part hereof.
(f) Time is of the essence of this Lease and each of its
provisions in which performance is a factor.
(g) The time required for the performance of any act required
under this Lease shall be computed by excluding the first day and including the
last, unless the last day is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, in which event such
day or days shall also be excluded. The term "holiday" shall mean all holidays
specified in sections 6700 and 6701 of the California Government Code.
(h) The covenants and conditions herein contained, subject to
the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the heirs, successors,
executors, administrators and assigns of the parties hereto.
(i) Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Lease or a
short form memorandum hereof without the prior written consent of the other.
(j) This Lease contains all of the agreements of the parties
hereto with respect to the lease of the Premises to Tenant and all other matters
covered or mentioned in this Lease. No prior agreements or understandings
pertaining to any such matters shall be effective for any purpose. No provision
of this Lease shall be amended or added except by an agreement in writing signed
by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest. This Lease
shall not be effective or binding on any party until fully executed by both
parties hereto.
(k) All amounts which Tenant is required to pay hereunder
(other than Base Rent) and all damages, costs and expenses which Landlord may
incur by reason of any default by Tenant shall be deemed to be additional rent
hereunder. Upon Tenant's nonpayment of any additional rent, Landlord shall have
all rights and remedies with respect thereto as Landlord has for the nonpayment
of Base Rent.
(l) If either party shall be delayed or prevented from the
performance of any act required by this Lease by reason of acts of God, strikes,
lockouts, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, restrictive
governmental laws, or regulations or other cause, without fault and beyond the
reasonable control of the party so obligated (financial inability excepted),
performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay, and the
period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period
equivalent to the period of such delay; provided, however, that nothing in this
paragraph shall excuse Tenant from the prompt payment of any rental or other
payments required of Tenant except as may be expressly provided elsewhere in
this Lease.
(m) In the event of any action or proceeding brought by either
party against the other under this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled
to recover all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs of suit.
(n) In the event of any sale or transfer of Landlord's
interest in the Premises, Landlord shall be automatically and entirely released
from all liability under any and all of its covenants and obligations contained
in or derived from this Lease
arising after the consummation of such sale or transfer (excluding the indemnity
obligations of Landlord with respect to causes of action arising prior to such
sale or transfer), and the purchaser or transferee at such sale or transfer, or
any subsequent sale or transfer, shall be deemed, without any further agreement
between the parties or their successors in interest, or between the parties and
any such purchaser or transferee, to have assumed and agreed to carry out all of
the covenants and obligations of the landlord under this Lease.
(o) Tenant shall not use the name of the Premises for any
purpose other than as an address of the business to be conducted by Tenant in

California.
(s) Tenant shall not conduct any auction on or at the Premises
without Landlord's prior written consent.
(t) Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or
construed by the parties or by any third person to create the relationship of
principal and agent, partnership, joint venture or any association between
Landlord and Tenant, and neither the method of computation of rent nor any other
provisions contained in this Lease nor any acts of the parties shall be deemed
to create any relationship between Landlord and Tenant other than the
relationship of landlord and tenant.
(u) The language in all parts of this Lease shall in all cases
be simply construed according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or
against Landlord or Tenant. Unless otherwise provided in this Lease, or unless
the context otherwise requires, the following definitions and rules of
construction shall apply to this Lease.
(i) The neuter gender includes the feminine and
masculine, the singular number includes the plural, and the word "person"
includes a corporation, partnership, firm or association, wherever the context

and include, in addition to a sublessee and subtenant, a licensee,
concessionaire or other occupant or user of any portion of the Premises or
improvements located therein.
31. Limitation of Liability. The obligations of Landlord under this
Lease do not constitute personal obligations of any other persons or entities
constituting Landlord, and Tenant shall not seek recourse against such persons
or any of their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability with respect
to this Lease. In the event Tenant obtains a judgment against Landlord resulting
from any default or claim arising under this Lease, such judgment may only be
satisfied from Landlord's interest in the Project and the rents, issues, profits
and other income actually received on account of Landlord's right, title and
interest in the Premise, and no other real, personal or mixed property of
Landlord or any of the persons comprising Landlord, wherever situated, shall be
subject to levy to satisfy such judgment.
32. Brokers. Each party hereto represents and warrants to the other
party that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in
connection with the negotiation of this Lease other than with the broker
identified in Paragraph 1(l) hereof. Each party agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold the other party harmless from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, actions, suits, proceedings, costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) in connection with any compensation, commission or
charge claimed by any other broker, agent or the like who alleges that it is
owed such compensation, commission or charge by reason of contact with such
party. Landlord shall pay to R & R a leasing commission in connection with this
transaction, the amount of which is set forth in a separate written agreement
between Landlord and R & R, which commission shall be payable one-half upon
execution of this Lease and one-half upon Tenant taking occupancy of the second
floor of the Premises.
33. Option to Purchase.
(a) In consideration for entering into the Lease, Tenant has
requested and Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the exclusive right to purchase
the Project, and all easements appurtenant thereto, at a price and under the
terms and conditions set forth herein (the "Option").
(b) The term of the Option granted herein shall commence on
the date this Lease is fully executed by Landlord and Tenant and shall terminate
on the date ninety (90) days thereafter ("Option Term"). Tenant shall have no
right whatsoever to extend the Option Term.
(c) Provided that Tenant is not in default under the terms of
the Lease, this Option may be exercised at any time during the Option Term by
delivery of written notice of exercise (the "Notice"), addressed and mailed,
postage prepaid or registered
mail, or personally delivered to Landlord at Landlord's address set forth in
Paragraph 1(k).
(d) If Tenant (i) fails to exercise this Option strictly in
accordance with the terms of Paragraph 33(c) above within the Option Term, (ii)
attempts to assign or assigns this Option without the prior written consent of
Landlord as set forth in Paragraph 33(e) below, or (iii) defaults in Tenant's
obligations under the terms of the Lease prior to the exercise of the Option,
then this Option and all the rights of Tenant hereunder shall automatically and
immediately terminate without notice, and each party shall be discharged of its
obligations hereunder.
(e) This Option and the rights of the Tenant hereunder shall
not be assigned by Tenant separately from the Lease, and shall not be assigned
without the prior written consent of Landlord. Any attempted assignment without
Landlord's consent shall be void. Landlord in its sole discretion may withhold
its consent to any such attempted assignment by Tenant.
(f) Exercising this Option as provided herein shall constitute
an agreement by Landlord to sell and by Tenant to purchase the Project on the
following terms and conditions:
(i) The purchase price for the Premises to be paid by
Tenant to Landlord shall be Two Million One Hundred fifty Thousand dollars
($2,150,000) ("Purchase Price").
(ii) The Purchase Price shall be paid by Tenant to
Landlord, in cash at the close of escrow as set forth herein. Any portion of the
security deposit paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease and not previously
applied or retained by Landlord in accordance with the terms of the Lease shall
be applied toward the Purchase Price.
(iii) Landlord shall convey and Tenant shall accept
title to the Project subject to Exceptions Nos. 1, 3-17 and this Lease and the
sublease in favor of Passport Designs, Inc. contained in the preliminary report
issued by First American Title Company as of April 26, 1995, attached hereto as
Exhibit "D," any exceptions created or caused by Tenant, any exceptions which do
not materially affect marketability of title or Tenant's use of the Premises,
and any exceptions that would be disclosed by personal inspection and/or an
A.L.T.A. survey (the "Permitted Exceptions"). Tenant's obligation to purchase
hereunder shall be conditioned upon Landlord having tendered to Tenant, by grant
deed, title to the Premises free of all liens, encumbrances and exceptions
except for the Permitted Exceptions. Evidence of such title shall be the
willingness and commitment of First American Title Company to issue, at the
close of escrow, its A.L.T.A. Standard Owner's Policy of title insurance naming
Tenant insured in the amount of the Purchase Price and showing title to the
Project vested in Tenant subject
only to the Permitted Exceptions. The cost of such title insurance policy and
any A.L.T.A. survey required in connection with the issuance of such title
insurance policy shall be borne by Tenant.
If Landlord is unable to convey title to the Project as so
required on the date scheduled for close of escrow, as described in Paragraph
33(f)(iv) below, the close of escrow shall be extended for a period of ten (10)
days (notwithstanding any other provision of this Option), and within such ten
(10) day period, upon notice to Landlord, Tenant may elect to (i) accept title
to the Project in such condition as First American Title Company is so willing
to insure such title without reduction in the Purchase Price, or (ii) terminate
its obligation to so acquire the Project pursuant to this Option and terminate
the Lease. If Tenant does not notify Landlord of Tenant's election within said
ten (10) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected only to terminate
its obligation to acquire the Project pursuant to this Option, and the Lease
shall continue in full force and effect. If Tenant elects to terminate this
Option, Tenant shall have no further right to acquire the Project. If Tenant
further elects to terminate the Lease, rent shall be payable under the Lease to
the date of surrender of the Premises by Tenant, and the security deposit shall
be applied and disbursed in the manner provided in the Lease. Landlord shall in
no event be liable to Tenant for damages or otherwise by reason of its inability
to convey insurable title in the condition required by this Option unless such
failure results from the voluntary affirmative act of Landlord committed after
the date of this Lease in violation of this Option.
(iv) An escrow shall be opened at First American Title
Company (the "Escrow Holder") upon Tenant's giving of the Notice. Subject to
extension as provided in Paragraph 33(i) below, the close of escrow shall occur,
subject to Landlord's rights under clause (i) below, on the date thirty (30)
days following the date of the Notice. Time is of the essence.
(v) All escrow costs and charges shall be equitably
allocated between Tenant and Landlord in accordance with customary practice
prevailing in San Mateo County, California.
(g) Tenant hereby acknowledges that it has inspected the
Project and observed its physical characteristics and conditions Tenant hereby
waives any and all objections to said physical characteristics and conditions of
the Project which would be disclosed by such inspection. Tenant further
acknowledges and agrees that the Project is accepted by Tenant in its present
condition, "as is," and that no patent or latent physical condition of the
Project whether or not known or discovered, shall affect the rights of either
party hereto. Tenant has investigated and has knowledge of operative or proposed
governmental laws and regulations including, but not limited to, zoning,
environmental and land use laws and regulations to which the Project may be
subject. Tenant has neither received nor relied upon any representations
concerning such laws and regulations made by Landlord or any other person acting
on or in behalf of Landlord.
(h) Time is of the essence of this Option. If this Option is
not exercised in the manner provided herein, or if close of escrow does not
occur on or before the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term
(except if close of escrow is extended by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 33(i)
below), Tenant shall have no interest whatsoever in the Premises and this Option
may not be revived by any subsequent payment or further action by Tenant.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Paragraph 33,
rather than sell the Project to Tenant for the Purchase Price, Landlord may
structure a tax deferred exchange of the Project pursuant to Section 1031 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in which case Tenant will acquire
title to the Project from a party other than Landlord. As an accommodation to
Landlord, Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and to take the steps
necessary to structure such an exchange, provided such cooperation shall be at
no additional cost or liability to Tenant. Such cooperation shall include
accepting title to the Project from a party other than Landlord and executing
novation, assignment or other documents necessary to effectuate a tax deferred
exchange. However, under no circumstances will Tenant be obligated to take title
to any property, other than the Project, as a part of its accommodation to
Landlord hereunder.
The scheduled date for close of escrow may be extended by
Landlord from time to time for not more than a total of one hundred eighty (180)
days in order to coordinate the concurrent closing of the exchange contemplated
hereby. In the event Landlord shall have failed to designate exchange
properties, title to which could be acquired on or before the expiration of one
hundred eighty (180) days from the date contemplated for close of escrow under
the Option, then the purchase and sale of the Project shall be completed on the
terms and conditions set forth in Paragraph 33(f) above.
(j) If Tenant acquires the Project pursuant to this Paragraph
33, Landlord agrees to pay through escrow to R & R a real estate brokerage
commission of Eighty-six Thousand Dollars ($86,000) less the unamortized portion
of the leasing commission paid by Landlord to R & R in connection with this
Lease, amortized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the Lease, on
close of escrow; provided, however, that no such commission shall have been
earned by R & R or be otherwise due and payable to R & R by Landlord if escrow
fails to close for any reason whatsoever.
34. Right of First Negotiation - Lease. If, at any time during the Term
of the Lease, Landlord constructs a commercial building or buildings on the real
property located adjacent to the Project (the "Adjacent Parcel"), all or any
portion of the space within such building(s) becomes available for lease after
the expiration of the initial lease for such space (the "Available Space"),
Tenant shall have the first right of negotiation to lease such Available Space.
As used herein, space shall be deemed "available" upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the initial lease for such space made following construction of
such building(s) (including any options to extend the
lease term contained therein). If an initial lease contains an option to extend
the term thereof, such space shall not be deeded "available" unless the tenant
thereunder fails to extend the lease term or to timely exercise such option.
Such first right of negotiation shall be subject to the following terms and
conditions:
(a) When Landlord is prepared to offer the Available Space for
lease, Landlord shall so notify Tenant in writing ("Landlord's Notice"). Tenant
shall have a period of ten (10) calendar days following receipt of Landlord's
Notice to deliver to Landlord written notice of its election to lease such
Available Space, which notice shall include the lease terms upon which Tenant
would be willing to lease the Available Space. As used herein, "lease terms"
shall mean, at a minimum, the rentals and other sums to be paid by Tenant under
the lease, the term of the lease and any options to renew, and restrictions on
use.
(b) If Tenant exercises its first right of negotiation in a
timely manner, and the lease terms proposed by Tenant are substantially
acceptable to Landlord, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, Landlord and Tenant
shall negotiate and execute a lease for the Available Space containing terms and
conditions reasonably acceptable to both parties within thirty (30) days from
the date of Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Notice.
(c) If Tenant fails to notify Landlord of its election to
lease the Available Space within said ten (10) day period or to execute a lease
therefor within said thirty (30) day period, then Tenant's first right of
negotiation shall terminate with respect to that Available Space and Landlord
may lease that Available Space to a third party, free and clear of any rights of
Tenant under this Paragraph 34, provided that Landlord enters into an agreement
for the lease of that Available Space with a third party on terms no less
favorable to Landlord within six (6) months from the date of delivery of
Landlord's Notice. If Landlord fails to enter into such third party lease
agreement for that Available Space within such time period, the terms and
conditions of this Paragraph 34 shall again apply to the Adjacent Parcel.
(d) If Tenant is in default under the Lease at the time Tenant
would otherwise be entitled to exercise its first right of negotiation
hereunder, then Tenant shall have no first right of negotiation with respect to
the offered Available Space, and Landlord may lease that Available Space to a
third party, free and clear of any rights of Tenant under this Paragraph 34. If
(i) Landlord has given Tenant written notice of default under the Lease more
than three (3) times prior to the exercise of Tenant's first right of
negotiation with respect to any offered Available Space, or (ii) Tenant shall
have assigned or transferred all of its interest in this Lease and/or the
Premises (whether or not Landlord's consent to such assignment or transfer has
been given), this Paragraph 34 shall be null and void and of no further force or
effect. Tenant's rights under this Paragraph 34 are personal to Tenant, and
shall not be assigned, transferred or conveyed to any other person, voluntarily,
involuntarily or by operation or law or otherwise. Any
attempted assignment, transfer or conveyance of Tenant's rights under this
Paragraph 34 shall be void.
35. Right of First Negotiation - Purchase. If, at any time during the
Term of the Lease, Landlord intends to sell the Adjacent Parcel, Tenant shall
have the first right of negotiation to purchase the Adjacent Parcel. Such first
right of negotiation shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) When Landlord intends to offer the Adjacent Parcel for
sale, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice of such intent (the
"Notice of Intent"), which Notice of Intent shall set forth the proposed
purchase price and all other material terms for the sale of the Adjacent Parcel.
Tenant shall have a period of ten (10) calendar days following receipt of the
Notice of Intent to deliver to Landlord written notice of its election to
negotiate for the purchase of the Adjacent Parcel.
(b) If Tenant exercises its first right of negotiation in a
timely manner, Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the date of
Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Notice to negotiate with Landlord in an attempt
to come to agreement for the purchase and sale of the Adjacent Parcel. Landlord
and Tenant shall conduct all such negotiations in good faith and shall use their
best efforts to reach an agreement as to such purchase and sale.
(c) If Tenant fails to notify Landlord of its election to
purchase the Adjacent Parcel within said ten (10) day period or to execute an
agreement for purchase and sale therefore within said thirty (30) day period,
then Tenant's first right of negotiation shall terminate with respect to the
Adjacent Parcel and Landlord may sell the Adjacent Parcel to a third party, free
and clear of any rights of Tenant under this Paragraph 35, provided that
Landlord enters into an agreement for purchase and sale of the Adjacent Parcel
with a third party on terms no less favorable to Landlord (except that the
purchase price to be paid by the third party may be not less than ninety-five
percent (95%) of the purchase price set forth in the Notice of Intent delivered
to Tenant) within one (1) year from the date of delivery of the Notice of
Intent. If Landlord fails to enter into such third party sale agreement within
such time period, the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 35 shall again
apply to the Adjacent Parcel.
(d) If Tenant is in default under the Lease at the time Tenant
would otherwise be entitled to exercise its first right of negotiation
hereunder, then Tenant shall have no right of first negotiation with respect to
the Adjacent Parcel, and Landlord may sell the Adjacent Parcel to a third party,
free and clear of any rights of Tenant under this Paragraph 3.5. If (i) Landlord
has given Tenant written notice of default more than three (3) times prior to
the exercise of Tenant's first right of negotiation with respect to the Adjacent
Parcel, or (ii) Tenant shall have assigned or transferred all of its interest in
this Lease and/or the Premises (whether or not Landlord's consent to such
assignment or transfer has been given), this Paragraph 35 shall be null and void
and of
no further force or effect. Tenant's rights under this Paragraph 35 are
personal to Tenant, and shall not be assigned, transferred or conveyed to any
other person, voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law or otherwise.
Any attempted assignment, transfer or conveyance of Tenant's rights under this
Paragraph 35 shall be void.
(e) If Tenant acquires the Adjacent Parcel pursuant to this
Paragraph 35, Landlord agrees to pay through escrow to R & R a real estate
brokerage commission in an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the purchase
price for the Adjacent Parcel on close of escrow; provided, however, that no
such commission shall have been earned by R & R or be otherwise due and payable
to R & R by Landlord if escrow fails to close for any reason whatsoever.

WORK LETTER AGREEMENT
This Work Letter Agreement supplements the Lease dated June __, 1995,
executed concurrently herewith by and between University Bank & Trust Company of
Palo Alto, a California banking corporation ("Landlord"), and Odwalla, Inc., a
California corporation ("Tenant").
1. Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall construct and install tenant
improvements in the Premises in accordance with the applicable Final Plans
approved by Tenant and otherwise in accordance with this Work Letter Agreement.
The tenant improvements shall be general purpose improvements; Landlord shall
not be required to construct any special purpose improvements in the Premises.
2. Plans and Specifications. As soon as reasonably practical after
Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant shall furnish and submit to Landlord's
architect such information as Landlord's architect may request from Tenant to
prepare plans, specifications and working drawings for the tenant improvements,
including architectural, mechanical and electrical engineering plans,
specifications, working drawings and details (collectively, "Final Plans"),
including information regarding the location of all partitions, doors, light
fixtures, electrical outlets, telephone outlets and other standard and special
installations required by Tenant, as well as wall finishes and floor coverings.
Thereafter, the parties shall meet and confer as necessary to agree on the Final
Plans, which Final Plans shall be subject to the reasonable approval of both
parties. Tenant's written approval of the Final Plans shall be deemed Tenant's
authorization for Landlord to proceed with Landlord's Work (defined below) in
accordance with the approved Final Plans. Landlord shall not be obligated to
proceed with Landlord's Work until both Landlord and Tenant have approved the
Final Plans. As used herein, the term "Landlord's Work" shall mean the work
contemplated by the Final Plans and the term "Improvement Costs" shall mean the
cost of the Landlord's Work as performed in accordance with the Final Plans.
In addition, as soon as reasonably practical after Tenant's execution
of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon the interim improvements
(the "Interim Improvements") to be constructed by Landlord in the first floor of
the Premises to accommodate the occupancy of Passport Design, Inc. ("Passport")
pursuant to the terms of the sublease for the first floor to Passport (the
"Passport Sublease"), to be entered into by Tenant and Passport concurrently
with the execution of this Lease. The plans for the Interim Improvements shall
be subject to the reasonable approval of both parties. In connection with the
construction of the tenant improvements referred to in Paragraph 1 above and the
Interim Improvements, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the lobby in
the first floor of the Premises will consist of a common area foyer and two
doors for separate access to the second floor of the Premises and the first
floor of the Premises to be occupied by Passport pursuant to the Passport
Sublease.
Neither preparation of plans by Landlord's architect, engineer or
consultant nor any approval thereof by Landlord shall constitute any
representation or warranty by or on behalf of Landlord as to the adequacy,
efficiency, suitability, fitness or desirability of any space layout or
improvements or otherwise constitute assumption by Landlord of any
responsibility for the accuracy or sufficiency thereof, or be interpreted as a
statement of compliance with code requirements, provided that nothing herein
shall abrogate or impair any rights of Tenant against such architect, engineer
or consultant on account of any errors or omissions.
3. Construction of Tenant Improvements. Following approval of the Final
Plans by Tenant, Landlord's contractor shall be instructed to commence and
diligently proceed with the construction of Landlord's Work in the second floor
of the Premises substantially in accordance with the approved Final Plans.
Following approval of the plans for the Interim Improvements by Tenant,
Landlord's contractor shall be instructed to commence and diligently proceed
with the construction of the Interim Improvements in the first floor of the
Premises substantially in accordance with the approved plans therefore.
Landlord's contractors shall be instructed to commence and diligently
proceed with the construction of Landlord's Work in the first floor of the
Premises substantially in accordance with the approved Final Plans only after
the expiration or earlier termination of the Passport Sublease. Landlord shall
construct the Interim Improvements at Landlord's sole cost and expense.
Landlord's Contribution (defined below) shall not be applied to the cost of the
Interim Improvements.
During the construction of Landlord's Work (on both the first and
second floors of the Premises), Landlord or its representative will meet with
Tenant and other appropriate personnel on a weekly basis to coordinate work,
review construction and insure compliance with key construction elements.
4. Changes, Additions or Alterations.
4.1 Changes Requested by Tenant. There shall be no changes in
the plans for the Interim Improvements. Any change in Landlord's Work requested
by Tenant after approval of the Final Plans shall be at Tenant's sole cost and
expense and shall be subject to Landlord's approval. Tenant shall pay all costs
incurred by Landlord in reviewing any requested change, whether such change is
approved by Landlord or not. If Landlord approves any such request, Landlord's
architect shall prepare (or revise) plans, specifications and working drawings
with respect to such change. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of
preparing such additional (or revised) plans. As soon
as practical after completion of the additional (or revised) plans, Landlord
shall notify Tenant of the estimated cost and the estimated delay, if any, which
will be chargeable to Tenant by reason of such change. Within three (3) days
after the date of receipt of such estimated cost, Tenant shall notify Landlord
in writing whether Tenant approves such change. If Tenant approves, Tenant shall
promptly pay Landlord the estimated cost of such change, and Landlord's
contractor shall proceed with the change as soon as reasonably practicable
thereafter. If Tenant does not promptly so approve and pay any such cost,
Landlord shall be entitled to proceed in accordance with the previously approved
plans.
4.2 Changes by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to make
such changes in the approved Final Plans (or in Landlord's Work pursuant
thereto), as Landlord may deem reasonably necessary for coordinating and
completing Landlord's Work or as required by governmental authorities. Tenant
agrees and understands that any minor changes or deviations from the approved
Final Plans that may be reasonably necessary during construction of the Premises
shall not affect, change or invalidate the Lease, or give rise to any claims by
Tenant for any offset, credit, loss, damage or delay, or otherwise.
5. Tenant Improvement Allowance.
5.1 Tenant Improvement Allowance. Landlord shall contribute to
the cost of constructing Landlord's Work a tenant improvement allowance of up to
a maximum cost to Landlord of Three Hundred Sixty-seven Thousand Five Hundred
Dollars ($367,500), Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00) per rentable square foot in the
Premises ("Landlord's Contribution"). Landlord, at its sole cost, will
separately meter electrical service to the first and second floors of the
Premises, respectively.
The Improvement Costs to be paid by Landlord from said allowance shall
include:
(a) The cost of preliminary space planning and final
architectural and engineering plans and specifications (i.e., Final Plans) for
Landlord's Work, excluding the costs incurred to measure the Premises in
accordance with BOMA standards;
(b) All costs of obtaining building permits and other
necessary authorizations from the City of Half Moon Bay, the County of San
Mateo, and/or the State of California;
(c) All costs of interior design and finish schedule
plans and specifications including as-built drawings;
(d) All direct and indirect costs of performing
Landlord's Work in the Premises, including the construction fee for overhead and
profit and the cost of all
on-site supervisory and administrative staff, office, equipment and temporary
services rendered by Landlord's contractor in connection with Landlord's Work;
and
(e) All fees payable to Landlord's architectural and
engineering firm if it is required by Tenant to redesign any portion of the
tenant improvements following Tenant's approval of the Final Plans.
In no event shall the Improvement Costs include any costs of procuring or
installing in the Premises any trade fixtures, equipment, furniture,
furnishings, telephone equipment or other personal property (collectively,
"Personal Property") to be used in the Premises by Tenant, and the cost of such
Personal Property shall be paid by Tenant.
If the Improvement Costs exceed Landlord's Contribution, then Tenant
shall pay all Improvement Costs in excess of Landlord's Contribution within ten
(10) days after the date of receipt of Landlord's invoice therefor. If the
Improvement Costs are less than Landlord's Contribution, Tenant shall be
entitled to utilize the same at any time during the Lease term in connection
with any permitted alterations made by Tenant.
6. Delay. Tenant shall be responsible for and pay any and all costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any delay (each a "Tenant
Delay") in the commencement or completion of Landlord's Work caused by (a)
Tenant's failure to furnish information as required for timely completion of the
preliminary plans or the Final Plans, (b) Tenant's failure to approve or
disapprove the preliminary plans or the Final Plans within the time periods
specified herein, (c) Tenant's request for changes in materials, finishes,
installations or improvements after approval of the Final Plan (d) any changes,
additions or alterations requested by or on behalf of Tenant after approval by
Tenant of the Final Plans, (e) Tenant's failure to pay any amount when due
hereunder, (f) failure or refusal by Tenant to observe and perform fully and
promptly any other provision of this Work Letter Agreement or the Lease on
Tenant's part to be observed or performed, or (g) any other delay of any kind or
nature caused by any act or omission of Tenant, or any contractor, agent,
servant or employee of Tenant. If there is any Tenant Delay with respect to
Landlord's Work on the second floor of the Premises, the second floor of the
Premises shall be deemed completed, for purposes of determining the date of
commencement of the Term of the Lease and Tenant's rental obligations
thereunder, on the date the second floor of the Premises would have been
completed but for such Tenant Delay.
7. Default and Remedies. Failure or refusal by Tenant to perform any
obligation on Tenant's part to be performed in accordance with the provisions of
this Work Letter Agreement shall constitute an event of default by Tenant under
this Work Letter Agreement and under Article 21 of the Lease.
8. Tenant's Work. Tenant may, with Landlord's written consent, enter
the Premises prior to the Commencement Date solely for the purpose of installing
Tenant's
personal property and equipment as long as such entry will not interfere with
the orderly construction and completion of the Premises. Tenant shall notify
Landlord of its desired time(s) of entry and shall submit for Landlord's
approval the scope of the work to be performed and the name(s) of the
contractor(s) who will perform such work. Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees
to protect, defend and hold Landlord, any mortgagee, ground lessor or
beneficiary of a mortgage, ground lease or deed of trust related to the Premises
harmless from and against any and all suits, claims, actions, losses, costs or
expenses (including claims for worker's compensation) of any nature whatsoever,
together with reasonable attorneys' fees for counsel of Landlord's choice,
arising out of or in connection with the installation of Tenant's personal
property or equipment (including, but not limited to, claims for breach of
warranty, personal injury or property damage) except with respect to injury or
damage caused by Landlord's willful or negligent acts or omissions.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto have executed this Work Letter
Agreement as of the date first set forth above.

SUBLEASE
1. Parties. This Sublease ("Sublease") is entered into as of
the 14th day of June, 1995, by and between ODWALLA, INC., a California
corporation ("Sublessor") and PASSPORT DESIGNS, INC., a California corporation
("Sublessee"), as a sublease under that certain Office Lease of even date
herewith ("Lease") by and between UNIVERSITY BANK & TRUST COMPANY OF PALO ALTO,
a California banking corporation, as landlord ("Landlord"), and Sublessor, as
tenant. A copy of the Lease is attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part
hereof. The effectiveness of this Sublease is expressly conditioned upon the
concurrent execution of (i) the Lease referred to immediately above, and (ii) an
Agreement Terminating Leasehold Interest between Landlord and Sublessee.
2. Subordination; Default; Provisions Constituting Sublease.
2.1 Subordination. This Sublease is subject and subordinate to
all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, and to the matters to which the
Lease is subject and subordinate in accordance with its terms, and any
termination of the Lease shall terminate the Sublease.
2.2 Default under Lease. Sublessee covenants and agrees to
refrain from doing or causing to be done, or permitting any act to be done,
which would constitute a default under the Lease or might cause the Lease or the
rights of Sublessor as lessee under the Lease to be terminated or surrendered,
or which would or might make Sublessor liable for any damages, claims or
penalty. Notwithstanding anything in this Sublease to the contrary, Sublessee
agrees that Sublessor shall have no liability to Sublessee as a consequence of
Landlord's failure or delay in performing its obligations under the Lease.
Sublessee's obligations hereunder (including without limitation the obligation
of Sublessee to pay Rents [defined in Paragraph 5.3 below]) shall not be
impaired nor shall the performance thereof be excused because of any failure or
delay on Landlord's part in performing its obligations under the Lease unless
(i) such failure or delay results from Sublessor's being in default under the
Lease and Sublessor's default thereunder is not due to a default of Sublessee
hereunder, or (ii) such failure or delay results from Sublessor's willful
misconduct. Under no circumstances shall Sublessee have the right to require
performance by Sublessor of Landlord's obligations. In the event of the
termination of Sublessor's interest as lessee under the Lease for any reason,
then this Sublease shall terminate concurrently therewith without any liability
of Sublessor to Sublessee.
2.3 Provisions Constituting Sublease. All of the terms and
conditions contained in the Lease are incorporated herein, except for Paragraphs
1(a) through (h), Paragraphs 1(j) through (m), 2, 3, 5(a) (as to the address for
payment of Base Rent), 5(b), 5(c), 7, 30(c), 32, 33, 34, 35, Exhibit C (except
as to the Interim Improvements) and Exhibit D. For purposes of this Sublease,
with respect to those sections incorporated from the Lease,
all references to "Landlord" and "Tenant" shall be deemed to be references to
"Sublessor" and "Sublessee," respectively; all references to the "Lease" shall
be deemed to be references to this "Sublease"; and all references to the
"Premises" shall be deemed to be references to the "Premises" as defined in this
Sublease. The foregoing notwithstanding:
(a) all references to "Landlord" in Paragraph 12(c)
(except for the first use of the term "Landlord" in the second full paragraph of
Paragraph 12(c) shall mean and refer to both "Sublessor" and "Landlord"
hereunder), and Paragraphs 15(b), 15(d), 16, and 20 of the Lease (except that in
the first sentence of the last full paragraph of Paragraph 20(a) and the second
sentence of the first full paragraph of Paragraph 20(c), the reference to
"Landlord" shall mean and refer to both "Sublessor" and "Landlord" hereunder),
shall mean and refer to the "Landlord" hereunder; and
(b) all references to "Landlord" in Paragraphs 14,
15(a)(i), 15(a)(iii), and 19, and the next to last full paragraph of Paragraph
20(c) of the Lease shall mean and refer to both "Sublessor" and "Landlord"
hereunder (except that such references in Paragraph 19 shall mean Sublessor or
Landlord).
Those provisions incorporated into this Sublease from the Lease, together with
the provisions set forth in this Sublease, shall be the complete terms and
conditions of the Sublease. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms
used in this Sublease shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Lease.
3. Premises.
3.1 Premises. Sublessor leases to Sublessee and Sublessee
leases from Sublessor approximately seven thousand two hundred ninety-two
(7,292) rentable square feet of space on the first floor of the building
commonly known as and located at 100 Stone Pine Road, Half Moon Bay, California
(the "Building"), and all improvements now contained therein or a part thereof
(the "Premises"). In addition, Sublessee shall have such rights with respect to
the Common Areas as are set forth in the Lease.
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the actual
rentable square footage of the Premises to be leased hereunder by Sublessee will
be calculated by Landlord and Sublessee promptly following the date construction
of the common foyer described in Paragraph 17.7 below has been completed by
Landlord. If the actual rentable square footage of the Premises (which shall
include one-half of the square footage of the common foyer described in
Paragraph 17.7) is less than or more than 7,292 rentable square feet as
described above, then (i) the Base Rent paid by Sublessee under this Sublease
for any period of time prior to such calculation shall be adjusted accordingly
(with Sublessee either receiving a credit against the next Base Rent payment due
for any overpayment of Base Rent or Sublessee paying to Sublessor with the next
Base Rent payment owing any underpayment of Base Rent, as the case may be) and
(ii) Sublessee's Proportionate Share shall be adjusted accordingly.
3.2 Condition of the Premises. Sublessee acknowledges that
Landlord (and not Sublessor which shall have no obligations in respect thereof)
shall construct the Interim Improvements in the Premises on a schedule mutually
agreed to by Landlord and Sublessee (following Sublessee's approval of plans and
specifications for such Interim Improvements and after Landlord has obtained all
required permits necessary to construct such Interim Improvements), and
Sublessor shall have no obligation on account thereof. Subject to Landlord's
obligation to construct the Interim Improvements as provided herein, Sublessee
agrees to accept the Premises broom clean, in its "As Is" condition on the
Commencement Date, and as being in good and sanitary order, condition and
repair.
4. Term. The term of this Sublease shall commence on the date
set forth in Paragraph 1 above ("Commencement Date") and end on April 30, 1997
provided that Landlord shall have delivered possession of the Premises pursuant
to the Lease.
5. Rent.
5.1 Base Rent. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor as Base Rent
for the Premises One Dollar and Forty Cents ($1.40) per rentable square foot of
space within the Premises per month, in accordance with Paragraph 5(a) of the
Lease, except as hereinafter provided. Sublessee shall pay Sublessor on
execution hereof the Base Rent for the remainder of the month of June, 1995.
Rents shall be payable by Sublessee to Sublessor at the address set forth in
Paragraph 12 below, or at such other place or places as Sublessor may from time
to time direct.
5.2 Sublessee's Share. All references in the Lease to
"Tenant's Proportionate Share", including without limitation the reference in
Paragraph 5(d) of the Lease, as incorporated herein, shall mean "Sublessee's
Proportionate Share", as defined in this Paragraph 5.2. For purposes of this
Sublease, "Sublessee's Proportionate Share" shall mean forty-nine and sixty-one
one hundredths percent (49.61%) (unless adjusted pursuant to the terms of
Paragraph 3.1 above), with the effect that Sublessee's Proportionate Share of
the expenses payable under the Lease shall be determined based upon the total
number of square feet of the Premises (including one-half of the total square
footage of the common foyer described in Paragraph 17.1 below), in relation to
the total number of square feet of the Building. Based solely on information
furnished to Sublessor by Landlord, Sublessor estimates that Sublessee's
Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses (as defined in Paragraph 5(d) of the
Lease) during the first twelve months of the Sublease Term will be approximately
Thirty-five Cents ($0.35) per rentable square foot of space within the Premises
per month. Sublessee acknowledges that Sublessee's Proportionate Share of
Operating Expenses actually incurred during the first twelve months of the
Sublease Term may be greater or less than such estimated amount, however,
Sublessor agrees that in no event shall Sublessee's Proportionate Share of
Operating Expenses during the first twelve (12) months of the Sublease Term be
greater than Forty Cents ($0.40) per rentable square foot of space within the
Premises per month. The preceding notwithstanding, Sublessor agrees that
Sublessee's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses following the first twelve
months of the Sublease Term shall not be
greater than one hundred five percent (105%) of Sublessee's Proportionate Share
of Operating Expenses required to be paid by Sublessee under the Sublease during
the first twelve months of the Sublease Term (prorated for any partial year).
Sublessor shall have no responsibility for any overpayment of Operating Expenses
paid by Sublessee (unless such overpayment was not forwarded to Landlord, in
which event Sublessor shall refund any such overpayment to Sublessee).
Sublessor shall provide Sublessee with a copy of all
statements and notices received by Sublessor from Landlord pursuant to Paragraph
5(d) of the Lease. If Sublessee desires to review Landlord's statement in
accordance with Paragraph 5(d) of the Lease, Sublessee shall so notify
Sublessor, and Sublessor shall reasonably cooperate with Sublessee in performing
such review, at no expense to Sublessor.
5.3 Rents. The term "Rents" as used in this Sublease shall
mean Base Rent, Sublessee's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses, and all
charges, costs and expenses and other sums which Sublessee is required to pay
hereunder.
6. Insurance.
6.1 Commercial General Public Liability Insurance.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 15(a)(i) of the Lease incorporated
into this Sublease by reference, Sublessor acknowledges and agrees that
Sublessee shall only be required to maintain during the term of this Sublease
commercial general public liability insurance having a combined single limit of
not less than $1,000,000.
6.2 Business Interruption Insurance. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Paragraph 15(a) (ii) of the Lease incorporated into this Sublease
by reference, Sublessor acknowledges and agrees that Sublessee shall only be
required to maintain during the term of this Sublease business interruption
insurance covering a period of six (6) months' Rents payable hereunder.
7. Parking. Sublessee shall have the right to use thirty-five
(35) parking spaces in the parking area of the Common Areas at no additional
charge to Tenant, in accordance with, and subject to, Paragraph 26 of the Lease.
8. Services, Maintenance and Repair of the Premises. Sublessor
shall not be responsible to Sublessee for furnishing any service, maintenance or
repairs to the Premises which are the obligation of Landlord, it being
understood that such obligations are solely those of Landlord pursuant to
Paragraphs 12, 16 (however, Sublessee shall contract directly in its own name,
at Sublessee's cost, for janitorial services to be furnished to the Premises and
pay for its own electricity used or consumed with respect to the Premises), and
20 of the Lease. The failure of Landlord to fulfill its obligations under the
Lease or the exercise by Landlord of any rights specified in the Lease shall not
(i) entitle Sublessee to any allowance, reduction or adjustment of Rents, (ii)
make Sublessor liable to Sublessee, (iii) excuse or
impair the obligation of Sublessee to perform or observe any of the terms or
conditions of this Sublease, or (iv) entitle Sublessee to any claim of
constructive eviction against Sublessor.
If Landlord shall be in material default under the Lease in
any of its obligations to Sublessor with respect to the Premises, Sublessee
shall be entitled to participate with Sublessor in the enforcement of
Sublessor's rights against Landlord (and in any recovery or relief obtained),
but Sublessor shall have no obligation to bring any action or proceeding or to
take any steps to enforce Sublessor's rights against Landlord. Any steps,
actions, or proceedings so instituted by Sublessor shall be at the expense of
Sublessee. Sublessee shall, by written notice to Sublessor, specify any such
alleged default by Landlord and Sublessor may, but shall not be obligated to,
after such notice elect to (i) take action for the enforcement of Sublessor's
rights against Landlord with respect to such default or (ii) cure any such
default to the extent permitted pursuant to the provisions of the Lease. If
Sublessor does not elect to do either of the foregoing, Sublessee shall have the
right to take enforcement action against Landlord in its own name and, for that
purpose and only to such extent, all of the rights of Sublessor to enforce the
obligations of Landlord under the Lease are hereby conferred upon and are
conditionally assigned to Sublessee and Sublessee hereby is subrogated to such
rights (including the benefit of any recovery or relief). Notwithstanding the
provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, in no event shall Sublessee be
entitled to take such action in its own name if (i) such action would constitute
a default under the Lease or (ii) there is a good faith disagreement between
Sublessor and Sublessee as to whether or not Landlord has so defaulted.
Sublessee shall indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless from and against all loss,
cost, liability, claims, damages and expenses (including without limitation
reasonable attorneys' fees), penalties and fines incurred in connection with or
arising from the taking of any such action by Sublessee.
9. Destruction/Reconstruction. Sublessor shall have no
obligation to rebuild, restore or repair the Premises in the event of any damage
or destruction thereto, Sublessee acknowledging that such obligation is
Landlord's pursuant to Paragraph 20 of the Lease. If Landlord elects to
terminate the Lease pursuant to Paragraph 20 of the Lease, this Sublease shall
terminate concurrently therewith without any liability of Sublessor to
Sublessee. Sublessee shall have no right to terminate this Sublease in the event
of damage or destruction to all or a portion of the Premises or the Building,
and Sublessee hereby expressly waives any rights to terminate this Sublease,
including without limitation any rights pursuant to the provisions of
Subdivision 2 of Section 1932 and Subdivision 4 of Section 1933 of the
California Civil Code, as amended from time to time, and the provisions of any
similar law hereinafter enacted, which provisions relate to the termination of
the hiring of a thing upon its substantial damage and destruction; provided,
however, if such damage or destruction materially interferes with Sublessee's
use of the Premises and the Premises cannot reasonably be or in fact are not
restored within forty-five (45) days following the casualty, then Sublessee may
elect to terminate this Sublease effective thirty (30) days following receipt of
written notice from Sublessee.
10. Condemnation. If Sublessor is entitled to terminate the
Lease pursuant to Paragraph 23 of the Lease, Sublessor may elect to terminate
the Lease in accordance therewith, and in that event this Sublease shall
terminate concurrently with the Lease without any liability of Sublessor to
Sublessee. Sublessee shall have the right to terminate this Sublease in the
event of a condemnation of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises
or in the event less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises is taken but
the remaining portion of the Premises is inadequate for the continued operation
of Sublessee's business as reasonably determined by Sublessee, and in either of
such events Sublessee shall be entitled to receive only that portion of the
condemnation award allocable to, and separately awarded to Sublessee on account
of, Sublessee's moving expenses and any tenant improvements paid for solely by
Sublessee which Sublessee would have the right to remove.
11. Landlord's Consent; Lease Limitations.
11.1 Landlord's Consent. Sublessee acknowledges that as to
certain matters set forth in this Sublease, Sublessor has rights of approval or
disapproval. In addition, Sublessee acknowledges that as to certain matters set
forth in the Lease, Landlord has rights of approval or disapproval. If any
matter requiring Sublessor's approval is submitted to Sublessor by Sublessee for
Sublessor's approval, Sublessor shall respond to Sublessee in a timely manner.
If Sublessor approves such matter and such matter further requires Landlord's
approval, Sublessor shall promptly submit the same to Landlord and shall use
reasonable efforts to obtain Landlord's approval of such matter. In no event,
however, shall Sublessor's disapproval be deemed unreasonable if Landlord has
disapproved of such matter nor shall Sublessor have any liability to Sublessee
by reason thereof.
With respect to Paragraph 13 of the Lease, in the event
Sublessee requests consent to an assignment or subletting, Sublessee shall be
responsible for payment of all costs and expenses Sublessor may be required to
pay to Landlord in connection therewith.
11.2 Lease Limitations. This Sublease is not intended to
provide Sublessee with any rights or remedies in addition to those set forth in
the Lease, which rights and remedies may be further limited by the provisions of
this Sublease.

12.1 General. Any notice required or desired to be given under
this Sublease shall be in writing and all notices shall be given by personal
delivery, mailing, or by reputable overnight courier. All notices personally
given to Sublessee may be delivered to any person apparently in charge at the

LEASE
[To be attached]
AGREEMENT TERMINATING LEASEHOLD INTEREST
(Surrender of Lease)
This Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into this
14th day of June, 1995, by and between UNIVERSITY BANK & TRUST COMPANY OF PALO
ALTO, a California banking corporation ("Landlord"), and PASSPORT DESIGNS, INC.,
a California corporation ("Tenant").
RECITALS
A. Landlord's predecessor-in-interest, WWC Investments, Inc.,
and Tenant are parties to that certain Lease dated May 1, 1991 (the "Lease"),
pursuant to which Tenant leases from Landlord and Landlord leases to Tenant that
certain building located at 100 Stone Pine Road, Half Moon Bay, California (the
"Building"). A copy of the Lease is attached as EXHIBIT A hereto.
B. It is the desire (i) of Landlord and Odwalla, Inc., a
California corporation ("Odwalla"), to enter into a new lease for the Building
(the "Odwalla Lease") and (ii) of Landlord and Tenant to terminate the Lease
concurrently with the commencement date of the Odwalla Lease.
C. It is the further desire of Tenant and Odwalla to enter
into a sublease for the first floor of the Building (the "Sublease"), the term
of which shall commence concurrently with the termination of the Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. The Lease shall be terminated as of the commencement date
of the Sublease (the "Termination Date"), which Landlord, Tenant and Odwalla
anticipate will be June 14, 1995. The termination of the Lease is contingent and
conditioned upon the execution of the Sublease. In the event the Sublease is not
executed by Tenant and Odwalla, for whatever reason, the Lease shall not
terminate but shall continue in full force and effect.
Until the Termination Date, the Lease shall remain in full
force and effect and Tenant agrees to continue to perform all of its obligations
under the Lease, including, without limitation, the payment of all rent and
other costs and expenses payable by Tenant thereunder as the same become due and
payable.
2. On the Termination Date, Tenant shall vacate and surrender
the Building to Landlord in the condition required by, and in accordance with,
the terms of Paragraph 13 of the Lease, and if so surrendered by Tenant,
Landlord shall accept the
surrender thereof. Tenant quitclaims all of its right, title and interest to the
Building under the Lease to Landlord as of the Termination Date.
3. All tenant improvements located in and fixtures attached to
the Building shall remain without alteration.
4. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is not holding
a security deposit or any other monies pursuant to the Lease or otherwise or in
which Tenant has any claim, right or interest.
5. The respective parties hereby agree that the Lease shall be
terminated as of the Termination Date and, as of the Termination Date each party
shall be relieved of any and all rights and responsibilities set forth in the
Lease except the provisions of Section 6(c) of the Lease shall survive the
Termination Date with respect to claims based on events or actions occurring
prior to the Termination Date. The parties further agree that, as a condition to
the effectiveness of this Agreement, Tenant shall be current on its rental
obligations under the Lease accruing prior to the Termination Date.
6. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant's failure to vacate and
surrender the Building to Landlord in the condition required by Section 1 above
on or before the Termination Date may result in delaying the delivery of
possession of the Building to Odwalla, causing Landlord to incur certain losses,
costs and expenses not contemplated under this Agreement. Accordingly, if Tenant
fails to vacate and surrender the Building in the condition required pursuant to
Section 1 above on or before the Termination Date, such continued possession
shall be deemed to be without Landlord's consent, and Landlord shall be entitled
to immediately pursue all rights and remedies available to it by law or under
the Lease, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies available to a
landlord based upon the unlawful detainer of premises by a tenant as described
in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161(l), as amended or replaced.
7. The parties shall execute any and all documents necessary
to effectuate the terms and purposes of this Agreement.
8. In the event either party hereto shall bring any action or
legal proceeding for damages for an alleged breach of any provision of this
Agreement, or to enforce, interpret or establish any term or condition hereof or
the rights or remedies of either party, the prevailing party shall be entitled
to recover, as part of such action or proceeding, reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs, as may be fixed by the court or jury.
9. Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be
in writing and shall be deemed duly given when personally delivered (including
delivery by overnight courier), or in lieu of such personal service, forty-eight
(48) hours after deposit in the United States mail, registered or certified
mail, postage prepaid, to the address set forth below or to such other address

This Rental Abatement Agreement ("Agreement") is made on this

RECITALS
A. Landlord and Tenant have entered into that certain Office

Building (the "Sublease Premises").
C. In order to induce Tenant to enter into the Lease and the
Sublease, Landlord has agreed to abate payment by Tenant of the monthly rent and
operating expenses under the Lease with respect to the first floor of the
Building, in the event Passport is in default in the payment of monthly rent
and/or operating expenses under the Sublease, on the terms and conditions set
forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Term. This Agreement shall be effective for the term of the
Sublease and shall terminate upon the termination of the Sublease (subject to
the provisions of Section 5 below), but not later than April 30, 1997.
2. Rent Abatement. In the event Passport does not pay to
Tenant the monthly Base Rent or Sublessee's Proportionate Share of Operating
Expenses (as those terms are defined in the Sublease) due under the Sublease on
or before the fifth (5th) calendar day of any month during the term of the
Sublease, Landlord hereby agrees that (i) the monthly Base Rent payable by
Tenant to Landlord under the Lease with respect to the first floor of the
Premises, and (ii) that portion of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating
Expenses payable by Tenant to Landlord under the Lease and allocated to the
first floor of the Premises, shall be abated until payment of the corresponding
monthly Base Rent or Sublessee's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses to
Tenant by Passport.
3. Payment to Landlord. In the event the Monthly Base Rent or
Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses is abated as provided in

Passport fails to pay any Base Rent or Sublessee's Proportionate Share of
Operating Expenses due under the Sublease (or any other payments due under the
Sublease) on the date such payment is due, then Tenant shall promptly notify
Landlord in writing that such payment is delinquent and stating the amount of
such delinquent payment. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event of a
default by Passport under the Sublease with respect to any performance
obligations, Landlord shall not require performance thereof by Tenant under the
Lease. Landlord shall have the right to seek to enforce such performance
obligations on Tenant's behalf. Landlord may elect in its sole discretion, as
managing agent for Tenant, to enforce the Sublease against Passport as provided
below and take all reasonable and necessary steps to collect any delinquent
payments owing by Passport under the Sublease (including, without limitation,
the limitation of an unlawful detainer action to recover possession). In such
event, Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless Tenant against any claims by
Passport directly arising out of the manner in which Landlord enforced the
Sublease. Such indemnification and hold harmless obligation shall not extend to
or cover any claims by Passport arising out of, or related to, any breach or
alleged breach of the Sublease by Tenant.
In the event it is necessary that collection and enforcement
efforts against Passport include the institution of an unlawful detainer action
to recover possession of the Sublease Premises from Passport, Landlord may
initiate such action against Passport on behalf of Tenant and Landlord shall be
responsible for the cost thereof. Landlord shall be entitled to take all
reasonable action to collect from Passport all payments of Base Rent and
Sublessee's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses due under the Sublease and
apply such payments to sums due under the Lease by Tenant.
5. Termination of Sublease. In the event the Sublease is
terminated (by either Landlord or Tenant) by reason of a default by Passport
thereunder, then for a period (the "Abatement Period") equal to the lesser of
(i) one hundred twenty (120) days from and after the date that Tenant is
entitled to possession of the Sublease Premises, or (ii) the period commencing
on the date Tenant is entitled to possession of the Sublease Premises and ending
on April 30, 1997, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of (a) the monthly
Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord under the Lease with respect to the
first floor of the Premises, and (b) that portion of Tenant's Proportionate
Share of Operating Expenses payable by Tenant to Landlord under the Lease and
allocated to the first floor of the Premises, for Abatement Period.
Upon termination of the Sublease, Landlord shall be entitled
to collect all Rents (as that term is defined in the Sublease) due and owing
from Passport, and shall be entitled to receive any and all damage awards or
lease termination payments. In the event Tenant receives any such amounts or
payments, Tenant shall promptly deliver the same to Landlord upon receipt.
6. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs,
representatives, successors and assigns.
7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts and each executed copy of this Agreement shall be deemed an
original for all purposes.
The parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date
first set forth above.
