APPROVAL OF A GROUND LEASE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF CARLSBAD AND CALLAWAY CITY ATTY. GOLF COhIPANY FOR A PORTION OF APN 212-082-04,212-
082-05, AND 212-082-06 CITY MGR
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ADOPT Resolution No. 2004-260 . approving ten (1 0) year ground lease agreement for a portion
of APN 2 12-082-04,05, 24 00. consisting of approximately .84 acres, for the term August 1, 2004 to
July 3 1, 20 14, with Callau ay Go1 f Company, and authorizing the Mayor to execute all documents.
ITEM EXP LAN AT10 N :
The City of Carlsbad is the owner of real property identified as CT 81-46, which consists of
approximately 140 acres of raw land, which was previously identified as a part of Carlsbad Airport
Centre industrial development. Although the land is currently undeveloped, the City has plans to
construct an 1 8-hole golf course over most of the property.
In 2000 Callaway Golf Company contacted the City to explore opportunities for lengthening the
western portion of their test range on Dryden Place, to accommodate technology improvements in
their products that effectively rendered the test range too short for testing. Callaway explored various
expansion scenarios including use of a portion of the City owned property. Their evaluation included
evaluation of the existing go1 f coiirse plans. environmental constraints, various possible grading and
improvement scenarios, and costs. Callaway shared their findings with City staff and asked if the
City would consider a leasc 01- sale of the property for expansion purposes.
In order to evaluate potential impacts to the golf course project, Callaway hired P&D Consultants,
who are also the City’s consultants for the golf course project. The conclusion of P&D was that
westerly expansion of Callaway’s test range was feasible and would have little, if any, impact on the
City’s ability to construct its golf course. Prior to staff bringing Callaway’s request for a lease or
purchase to the City Council for consideration, staff requested and obtained a letter from both the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Services and the California Department of Fish and Game, concurring that
Callaway’s proposal for expansion of the test facility over a .84 acre portion of the City’s property
met the “Equivalency Findings” in the City’s Habitat Management Plan. Staff met with the City
Council to discuss the leaselsale request and negotiations, and was instructed to draft a ground lease
agreement with Callaway, which would prohibit any construction activities for the test range
expansion until all permits Iia\.e becn obtained, and clearing and grubbing has begun on the municipal
golf course project.
The Planning Director has determined that leasing activities are exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15301
exempts projects or activities that consist of leasing of existing public facilities. However, additional
environmental review of Callaway’s test range project is being processed concurrent with approval of
the ground lease agreement, as part of the required Planned Industrial Permit process.

compensate Lessor for any liability, expense, loss or damage which Lessor may suffer or incur by

Deposit to the extent necessary, in Lessor’s reasonable judgment, to account for any increased
wear and tear that the Premises may suffer as a result thereof. If a change in control of Lessee
occurs during this Lease or if a comprehensive annual financial report to be provided to Lessor by
Lessee reveals a change in the financial condition of Lessee, and following such change the
financial condition of Lessee is, in Lessor’s reasonable judgment, significantly reduced, Lessee
shall deposit such additional monies with Lessor as shall be sufficient to cause the Security Deposit
to be at a commercially reasonable level based on said change in financial condition. Lessor shall
not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts. Within fourteen

Deposit only to unpaid Rent, and otherwise within thirty (30) days after the Premises have been
vacated pursuant to Paragraph 7.4(c) below, Lessor shall return that portion of the Security Deposit
not used or applied by Lessor. No part of the Security Deposit shall be considered to be held in
trust, to bear interest or to be prepayment for any monies to be paid by Lessee under this Lease.

and/or the environment against damage, contamination, injury and/or liability, including, but not
limited to , the installation (and removal on or before Lease expiration or termination) of protective

permits and other Applicable Requirements in a prompt and expeditious manner. Any Alterations
or Utility Installations shall be performed in a workmanlike manner with good and sufficient
materials. Lessee shall promptly upon completion furnish Lessor with as-built plans and
specifications, for work which costs $10,000 or more. Lessor may condition its consent upon
Lessee providing a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the
estimated cost of such Alteration or Utility Installation and/or upon Lessee’s posting an additional
Security Deposit with Lessor.
(c) Indemnification. Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials
furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for use on the Premises, which
claims are or may be secured by any mechanic’s or material men’s lien against the Premises or
any interest therein. Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (IO) days’ notice prior to the
commencement of any work in, on or about the Premises, and Lessor shall have the right to post
notices of non-responsibility. If Lessee shall contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand,
then Lessee shall, at its sole expense defend and protect itself, Lessor and the Premises against
the same and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon
before the enforcement thereof. If Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish a surety bond in an
amount equal to one and one-half times the amount of such contested lien, claim or demand,
indemnifying Lessor against liability for the same. If Lessor elects to participate in any such action,
Lessee shall pay Lessor’s attorneys fees and costs.

(a) Ownership. Subject to Lessor‘s right to require removal or elect ownership as
hereinafter provided, all Alterations and Utility Installations made by Lessee shall be the property of

between insured persons or organizations, but shall include coverage for liability assumed under
this Lease as an “insured contract” for the performance of Lessee’s indemnity obligations under
this Lease. The limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of Lessee nor relieve
Lessee of any obligation hereunder. All insurance carried by Lessee shall be primary to and not
contributory with any similar insurance carried by Lessor, whose insurance shall be considered
excess insurance only.
(b) Carried by Lessor. Lessor may maintain liability, in addition to, and not in lieu

(except the perils of flood and/or earthquake), including coverage for debris removal and the
enforcement of any Applicable Requirements requiring the upgrading, demolition, reconstruction or
replacement of any portion of the Premises as the result of a covered loss. Said policy or policies
shall also contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any coinsurance clause, waiver of
subrogation, and inflation guard protection causing an increase in the annual property insurance
8.2
PAGE 8 Initialsw

Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the city nearest to where the Premises are located. If
such insurance coverage has a deductible clause, the deductible amount shall not exceed $1,000
per occurrence, and Lessee shall be liable for such deductible amount in the event of an insured
Loss.
(b) Rental Value. The Lessee shall obtain and keep in force a policy or policies in
the name of Lessor with loss payable to Lessor, insuring the loss of the full Rent for one (1) year.
Said insurance shall provide that in the event the Lease is terminated by reason of an insured loss,
the period of indemnity for such coverage shall be extended beyond the date of the completion of
repairs or replacement of the Premises, to provide for one full year’s loss of rent from the date of
any such loss. Said insurance shall contain an agreed valuation provision In lieu of any
coinsurance clause, and the amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the projected
Rent otherwise payable by Lessee, for the next twelve (12) month period. Lessee shall be liable for
any deductible amount in the event of such loss.
(c) Adjacent Premises. If the Premises are part of a parcel of land, or of a group
of parcels owned by Lessor which are adjacent to the Premises, the Lessee shall pay for any
increase in the premiums for the property insurance of such parcels and any buildings thereon, if
said increase is caused by Lessee’s acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises.

of Lessee’s personal property, Trade Fixtures, and Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations. Such insurance shall be full replacement cost coverage with a deductible of not to
exceed $25,000 per occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by Lessee
for the replacement of personal property, Trade Fixtures and Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations. Lessee shall provide Lessor with written evidence that such insurance is in force.
(b) Business Interruption. Lessee shall obtain and maintain loss of income and
extra expense insurance in amounts as will reimburse Lessee for direct or indirect loss of earnings
attributable to all perils commonly insured against by prudent lessees in the business of Lessee or
attributable to prevention of access to the Premises as a result of such perils.
(c) No Representation of Adequate Coverage. Lessor makes no representation
that the limits or forms of coverage of insurance specified herein are adequate to cover Lessee’s
property, business operations or obligations under this Lease.
Insurance Policies. Insurance required herein shall be by companies duly licensed
or admitted to transact business in the State of California, and maintaining during the policy term a
“General Policyholders Rating” of at least A-: V, as set forth in the most current issue of “Best’s
Insurance Guide”, or such other rating as shall be required by the Carlsbad City Council Policy
existing at the time, or such other rating as may be required by a Lender. Lessee shall not do or
permit to be done, anything that invalidates the required insurance policies. Lessee shall, prior to
the Start Date, deliver to Lessor original endorsements and certificates evidencing the existence
and amounts of the required insurance. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to
modification except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lessor, Lessee shall, at least thirty
(30) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with evidence of renewals or
“insurance binders” evidencing renewal thereof, or Lessor may order such insurance and charge
the cost thereof to Lessee, which amount shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor upon demand.
Such policies shall be for a term of at least one year, or the length of the remaining term of this
Lease, whichever is less. If Lessee shall fail to procure and maintain the insurance required to be
carried by it, the Lessor may, but shall not be required to, procure and maintain the same.
Waiver of Subrogation. Without affecting any other rights or remedies, Lessee
hereby releases and relieves Lessor, and waives any right to recover damages against Lessor, for loss of or damage to its property arising out of or incident to the perils required to be insured
8.4
8.5
PAGE 9 initials
against herein. The effect of such release and waiver is not limited by the amount of insurance
carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable hereto. Lessee agrees to have its respective
property damage insurance carrier waive any right to subrogation that such company may have
against Lessor.
8.6 Indemnity. Except for negligence of Lessor, its agents, employees, and
contractors, or willful misconduct, Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the

expenses and/or liabilities arising out of, involving, or in connection with, the use and/or occupancy
of the Premises by Lessee. If any action or proceeding is brought against Lessor by reason of any
of the foregoing matters, Lessee shall upon notice defend the same at Lessee’s expense by
counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in such defense.
Lessor need not have first paid any such claim in order to be defended or indemnified.
Exemption of Lessor from Liability. Lessor shall not be liable for injury or damage
to the person or goods, wares, merchandise or other property of Lessee, Lessee’s employees,
contractors, invitees, customers, or any other person in or about the Premises, whether such
damage or injury is caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the
breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers, wires, appliances,
plumbing, or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether the said injury or damage results
from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the parcel of which the
Premises are a part, or from other sources or places. Lessor shall not be liable for any damages
arising from any act or neglect of any other tenant of Lessor. Notwithstanding Lessor’s negligence
or breach of this Lease, Lessor shall under no circumstances be liable for injury to Lessee’s
business or for any loss of income or profit there from.

9.2
PAGE 10 Initials
Fixtures or Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that Lessee shall, at Lessor‘s
election, make the repair of any damage or destruction the total cost to repair of which is $10,000
or less, and, in such event, Lessor shall make any applicable insurance proceeds available to
Lessee on a reasonable basis for that purpose. Premises Partial Damage due to flood or
earthquake shall be subject to Paragraph 9.3, notwithstanding that there may be some insurance
coverage, but the net proceeds of any such insurance shall be made available for the repairs if

Partial Damage - Uninsured Loss. If a Premises Partial Damage that is not an
insured Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act of Lessee (in which event Lessee

reasonably possible at Lessor‘s expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, or (ii) terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after
receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such damage. Such termination shall be

this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (IO) days after receipt of the termination notice to
give written notice to Lessor of Lessee’s commitment to pay for the repair of such damage without
reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with said funds or satisfactory assurance
thereof within thirty (30) days after making such commitment. In such event this Lease shall

reasonably possible after the required funds are available. If Lessee does not make the required
commitment, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in the termination notice.

thereof) to cover any shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor shall, at Lessor’s commercially
reasonable expense, repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect. If Lessee fails to exercise such option and provide such funds or
assurance during such period, then this Lease shall terminate on the date specified in the
termination notice and Lessee’s option shall be extinguished.

Destruction or a Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee is not responsible under this
Lease, the Rent payable by Lessee for the period required for the repair, remediation or restoration
of such damage shall be abated in proportion to the degree to which Lessee’s use of the Premises
is impaired, but not to exceed the proceeds received from the Rental Value insurance. All other
obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessor shall have no liability for
any such damage, destruction, remediation, repair or restoration except as provided herein.
PAGE 11
(b) Remedies. If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises and
does not commence, in a substantial and meaningful way, such repair or restoration within sixty
(60) days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at any time prior to the commencement
of such repair or restoration, give written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has
actual notice, of Lessee’s election to terminate this Lease on a date not less than sixty (60) days
following the giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice and such repair or restoration is not
commenced within thirty (30) days thereafter, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in
said notice. If the repair or restoration is commenced within said thirty (30) days, this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect. “Commence” shall mean either the unconditional authorization of
the preparation of the required plans, or the beginning of the actual work on the Premises,
whichever first occurs.
(c) Termination-Advance Payments. Upon termination of this Lease pursuant to
Paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be made concerning advance Base Rent and any other
advance payments made by Lessee to Lessor. Lessor shall, in addition, return to Lessee so much

govern the effect of any damage to or destruction of the Premises with respect to the termination of
this Lease and hereby waive the provisions of any present or future statute to the extent
inconsistent herewith.

any reason, including but not limited to termination because of default by Lessee, Lessee shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor within thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand
therefore a good and sufficient deed whereby all right, title and interest of Lessee in the demised
premises is quitclaimed to Lessor. Should Lessee fail or refuse to deliver the required deed to
Lessor, Lessor may prepare and record a notice reciting the failure of Lessee to execute,
acknowledge and deliver such deed and said notice shall be conclusive evidence of the termination
of this Lease and of all right of Lessee or those claiming under Lessee in and to the demised
premises.
11. Real Property Taxes.

Taxes” shall include any form of assessment; real estate, general, special, ordinary or
extraordinary, or rental levy or tax (other than inheritance, personal income or estate taxes);

interest of Lessor in the Premises, Lessor’s right to other income therefrom, and /or Lessor’s
business of leasing, by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax and where the funds
are generated with reference to the Building address and where the proceeds so generated are to
be applied by the city, county or other local taxing authority of the jurisdiction within which the
Premises are located. This Lease may result in a taxable possessory interest subject to the
payment of Real Property Taxes. The term “Real Property Taxes” shall also include any tax, fee,
levy, assessment or charge, or any increase therein, imposed by reason of events occurring during
the term of this Lease, including but not limited to, a change in the ownership of the Premises.
11 .I
11.2 Taxes.
(a) Payment of Taxes. Lessee shall pay the Real Property Taxes applicable to
the Premises during the term of this Lease. Subject to Paragraph 11.2(b), all such payments shall
be made at least ten (1 0) days prior to any delinquency date. Lessee shall promptly furnish Lessor
with satisfactory evidence that such taxes have been paid. If any such taxes shall cover any period
of time prior to or after the expiration or termination of this Lease, Lessee’s share of such taxes
shall be prorated to cover only that portion of the tax bill applicable to the period that this Lease is
in effect, and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for any overpayment. Lessee shall pay before
delinquency all taxes and assessments of any kind assessed or levied upon Lessee or the Leased
Premises by reason of this Lease or of any buildings, machines, or other improvements of any
PAGE 12
initials
nature whatsoever erected, installed or maintained by the Lessee or by reason of the business or
other activities of Lessee upon or in connection with the Leased Premises. Lessee shall also pay
any fees imposed by law for licenses or permits for any business or activities of Lessee upon the
Leased Premises or under this Lease. If Lessee shall fail to pay any required Real Property Taxes,
Lessor shall have the right to pay the same, and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor therefore upon
demand.
(b) Advance Payment. In the event Lessee incurs a late charge on any Rent
payment, Lessor may, at Lessor‘s option, estimate the current Real Property Taxes, and require
that such taxes be paid in advance to Lessor by Lessee, either: (i) in a lump sum amount equal to
the installment due, at least twenty (20) days prior to the applicable delinquency date, or (ii)
monthly in advance with the payment of the Base Rent. If Lessor elects to require payment
monthly in advance, the monthly payment shall be an amount equal to the amount of the estimated
installment of taxes divided by the number of months remaining before the month in which said
installment becomes delinquent. When the actual amount of the applicable tax bill is known, the
amount of such equal monthly advance payments shall be adjusted as required to provide the
funds needed to pay the applicable taxes. If the amount collected by Lessor is insufficient to pay
such Real Property Taxes when due, Lessee shall pay Lessor, upon demand, such additional sums
as are necessary to pay such obligations. All moneys paid to Lessor under this Paragraph may be intermingled with other moneys of Lessor and shall not bear interest. In the event of a Breach by
Lessee in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, then any balance of funds paid to
Lessor under the provisions of this Paragraph may at the option of Lessor, be treated as an
additional Security Deposit.
Joint Assessment. If the Premises are not separately assessed, Lessee’s liability
shall be an equitable proportion of the Real Property Taxes for all of the land and improvements
included within the tax parcel assessed, such proportion to be conclusively determined by Lessor
from the respective valuations assigned in the assessor’s work sheets or such other information as
may be reasonably available.
11.4 Personal Property Taxes. Lessee shall pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes assessed
against and levied upon Lessee Owned Alterations, Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings,
equipment and all personal property of Lessee. When possible, Lessee shall cause such property
to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor. If any of Lessee’s said
personal property shall be assessed with Lessor’s real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes
attributable to Lessee’s property within ten (IO) days after receipt of a written statement.
12. Utilities. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone, trash disposal and
other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If any such
services are not separately metered to Lessee, Lessee shall pay a reasonable proportion, to be
determined by Lessor, of all charges jointly metered. Lessee shall pay before delinquency any and
all charges for utilities at or on the Leased Premises.
13. Assignment and Subletting.
11.3
13.1 Lessor’s Consent Required.
(a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage or
encumber (collectively, “assign or assignment”) or sublet all or any part of Lessee’s interest in
this Lease or in the Premises without Lessor’s prior written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(b) The involvement of Lessee or its assets in any transaction, or series of
transactions (by way of merger, sale, acquisition, financing, transfer, leveraged buy-out or
otherwise), whether or not a formal assignment or hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee’s assets
occurs, which results or will result in a reduction of the Net Worth of Lessee by an amount greater
than twenty-five percent (25%) of such Net Worth as it was represented at the time of the execution
of this Lease or at the time of the most recent assignment to which Lessor has consented, or as it
exists immediately prior to said transaction or transactions constituting such reduction, whichever -. -
PAGE 13 InitialsW -
was or is greater, shall be considered an assignment of this Lease to which Lessor may withhold its
consent. “Net Worth of Lessee” shall mean the net worth of Lessee (excluding any guarantors)
established under generally accepted accounting principles.
(c) An assignment or subletting without consent shall, at Lessor’s option, be a
Default curable after notice per Paragraph 14.1(d), or a noncurable Breach without the necessity of
any notice and grace period. If Lessor elects to treat such unapproved assignment or subletting as
a noncurable Breach, Lessor may either: (i) terminate this Lease, or (ii) upon thirty (30) days written
notice, increase the monthly Base Rent to one hundred ten percent (1 10%) of the Base Rent then
in effect. Further, in the event of such Breach and rental adjustment, (i) the purchase price of any
option to purchase the Premises held by Lessee shall be subject to similar adjustment to one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the price previously in effect, and (ii) all fixed and non-fixed rental
adjustments scheduled during the remainder of the Lease term shall be increased to One Hundred
Ten Percent (1 10%) of the scheduled adjusted rent.
Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting.
(a) Any assignment or subletting shall not: (i) be effective without the express
written assumption by such assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease,
(ii) release Lessee of any obligations hereunder, or (iii) alter the primary liability of Lessee for the
payment of Rent or for the performance of any other obligations to be performed by Lessee.
Neither a delay in the
approval or disapproval of such assignment nor the acceptance of Rent or performance shall
constitute a waiver or estoppel of Lessor’s right to exercise its remedies for Lessee’s Default or
Breach.
(c) Lessor’s consent to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a consent to
any subsequent assignment or subletting.
(d) In the event of any Default or Breach by Lessee, Lessor may proceed directly
against Lessee, any Guarantors or anyone else responsible for the performance of Lessee’s
obligations under this Lease, including any assignee or sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor’s
remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefore to Lessor, or any security held by
Lessor.
(e) Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting shall be in writing,
accompanied by information relevant to Lessor’s determination as to the financial and operational
responsibility and appropriateness of the proposed assignee or sublessee, including but not limited
to the intended use and/or required modification of the Premises, together with reasonable
attorney’s fees incurred by Lessor in the review of said application, as consideration for Lessor‘s
considering and processing said request. Lessee agrees to provide Lessor with such other or
additional information and/or documentation as may be reasonably requested.
(9 Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by reason of accepting
such assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed to have assumed and agreed to
conform and comply with each and every term, covenant, condition and obligation herein to be
observed or performed by Lessee during the term of said assignment or sublease, other than such
obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions of an assignment or sublease to which
Lessor has specifically consented to in writing.
Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting. The following terms
and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of all or any part of the Premises and shall
be deemed included in all subleases under this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated
therein:
(a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of Lessee’s interest in all Rent
payable on any sublease, and Lessor may collect such Rent and apply same toward Lessee’s
obligations under this Lease: provided, however, that until a Breach shall occur in the performance
of Lessee’s obligations, Lessee may collect said Rent. Lessor shall not, by reason of the foregoing
13.2
(b) Pending approval or disapproval of an assignment.
13.3
PAGE 14 Initials -
or any assignment of such sublease, nor by reason of the collection of Rent, be deemed liable to
the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to perform and comply with any of Lessee’s obligations to
such sublessee. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee, upon
receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating that a Breach exists in the performance of Lessee’s
obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor all Rent due and to become due under the sublease.
Sublessee shall rely upon any such notice from Lessor and shall pay all Rents to Lessor without
any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Breach exists, notwithstanding any claim from
Lessee to the contrary.
(b) In the event of a Breach by Lessee, Lessor may, at its option, require sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor shall undertake the obligations of the sublessor under
such sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to the expiration of such sublease;
provided, however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit paid by such
sublessee to such sublessor or for any prior Defaults or Breaches of such sublessor.
(c) Any matter requiring the consent of the sublessor under a sublease shall also
require the consent of Lessor.
(d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part of the Premises without
Lessor‘s prior written consent.
(e) Lessor shall deliver a copy of any notice of Default or Breach by Lessee to the
sublessee, who shall have the right to cure the Default of Lessee within the grace period, if any,
specified in such notice. The sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and
against Lessee for any such Defaults cured by the sublessee.

Lease which endangers or threatens life or property, where such failure continues for a period of
three (3) business days following written notice to Lessee.
(c) The failure by Lessee to provide (i) reasonable written evidence of compliance
with Applicable Requirements, (ii) the service contracts, (iii) the rescission of an unauthorized
assignment or subletting, (iv) Estoppel Certificate, (v) a requested subordination, (vi) evidence
concerning any guaranty and/or Guarantor, or (vii) any other documentation or information which
Lessor may reasonably require of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, where any such failure
continues for a period of ten (1 0) days following written notice to Lessee.
(d) A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this
Lease other than those described in subparagraphs 14.1(a), (b) or (c), above, where such Default
continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice; provided, however, that if the nature of
Lessee’s Default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then it
shall not be deemed to be a Breach if Lessee commences such cure within said thirty (30) day
period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
(e) The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the making of any general
arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) becoming a “debtor” as defined in 11
14.1
PAGE 15
Initials*
U.S.C. 5 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against
Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days; (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to
take possession of substantially all of Lessee’s assets located at the Premises or of Lessee’s
interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within thirty (30) days; or (iv) the
attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee’s assets located at the
Premises or of Lessee’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty
(30) days; provided, however, in the event that any provision of this subparagraph (e) is contrary to
any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect, and not affect the validity of the
remaining provisions.
(f) The discovery that any financial statement of Lessee or of any Guarantor given to
Lessor was materially false.
(9) If the performance of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease is guaranteed: (i) the
death of a Guarantor, (ii) the termination of a Guarantor’s liability with respect to this Lease other
than in accordance with the terms of such guaranty, (iii) a Guarantor’s becoming insolvent or the
subject of a bankruptcy filing, (iv) a Guarantor‘s refusal to honor the guaranty, or (v) a Guarantor’s
breach of its guaranty obligation on an anticipatory basis, and Lessee’s failure, within sixty (60)
days following written notice of any such event, to provide written alternative assurance or security,
which, when coupled with the then existing resources of Lessee, equals or exceeds the combined
financial resources of Lessee and the Guarantors that existed at the time of execution of this
Lease.
Remedies. If Lessee fails to perform any of its affirmative duties or obligations,
within ten (1 0) days after written notice (or in case of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may, at
its option, perform such duty or obligation on Lessee’s behalf, including but not limited to the
obtaining of reasonably required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or
approvals. The costs and expenses of any such performance by Lessor shall be due and payable
by Lessee upon receipt of invoice therefore. If any check given to Lessor by Lessee shall not be
honored by the bank upon which it is drawn, Lessor, at its option, may require all future payments
to be made by Lessee to be by cashier’s check. In the event of a Breach, Lessor may, with or
without further notice or demand, and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy
which Lessor may have by reason of such Breach:
(a) Terminate Lessee’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in
which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession to
Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the unpaid Rent which
had been earned at the time of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by
which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award
exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably
avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance
of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves
could be reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the
detriment proximately caused by the Lessee’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or
which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result there from, including but not limited
to the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary
renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and that portion of any
leasing commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease applicable to the unexpired term
of this Lease. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in provision (iii) of the
immediately preceding sentence shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount
rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of the District within which the Premises are located at the time of
award plus one percent (1 %). Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by Lessee’s Breach
of this Lease shall not waive Lessor’s right to recover damages under Paragraph 13. If termination
of this Lease is obtained through the provisional remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the
right to recover in such proceeding any unpaid Rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or
Lessor may reserve the right to recover all or any part thereof in a separate suit. If a notice and
grace period required under Paragraph 14.1 was not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit,
14.2
PAGE 16 Initials v@ -
or to perform or quit given to Lessee under the unlawful detainer statute shall also constitute the
notice required by Paragraph 14.1. In such case, the applicable grace period required by
Paragraph 14.1 and the unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently, and the failure of Lessee
to cure the Default within the greater of the two such grace periods shall constitute both an unlawful
detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling Lessor to the remedies provided for in this Lease
and/or by said statute.
(b) Continue the Lease and Lessee’s right to possession and recover the Rent as it
becomes due. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet, and/or the appointment of a receiver to protect
the Lessor‘s interests, shall not constitute a termination of the Lessee’s right to possession.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available under the laws or judicial
decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located. The expiration or termination of this
Lease and/or the termination of Lessee’s right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from liability
under any indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during the term
hereof or by reason of Lessee’s occupancy of the Premises.
Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee of Rent
will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be
extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and
accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Lessor by any Lender.
Accordingly, if any Rent shall not be received by Lessor within five (5) days after such amount shall
be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a one-time
late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of each such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree
that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by
reason of such late payment. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event
constitute a waiver of Lessee’s Default or Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent
the exercise of any consecutive installments of Base Rent, then notwithstanding any provision of
this Lease to the contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor’s option, become due and payable quarterly
in advance.
14.4 Interest. Any monetary payment due Lessor hereunder, other than late charges,
not received by Lessor, when due as to scheduled payments (such as Base Rent) or within thirty
(30) days following the date on which it was due for non-scheduled payment, shall bear interest
from the date when due, as to scheduled payments, or the thirty-first (31”‘) day after it was due as
to non-scheduled payments. The interest (“Interest”) charged shall be equal to the prime rate
reported in the Wall Street Journal as published closest prior to the date when due plus four
percent (4%), but shall not exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. Interest is payable in addition
to the potential late charge provided for in Paragraph 14.3.
14.3
14.5 Breach by Lessor.
(a) Notice of Breach. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease unless
Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required to be performed by Lessor.
For purposes of this Paragraph, a reasonable time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days
after receipt by Lessor, of written notice specifying wherein such obligation of Lessor has not been
performed; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor’s obligation is such that more than thirty
(30) days are reasonably required for its performance, then Lessor shall not be in breach if
performance is commenced within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursued to
completion.
(b) Performance by Lessee on Behalf of Lessor. In the event that Lessor does
not cure said breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of said notice, or if having commenced said
cure Lessee does not diligently pursue it to completion, then Lessee may elect to cure said breach
at Lessee’s expense and offset from Rent an amount equal to the greater of one month’s Base
Rent or the Security Deposit, and to pay an excess of such expense under protest, reserving
Lessee’s right to reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall document the cost of said cure and
supply said documentation to Lessor.

15. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the power of
eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power (collectively
“Condemnation”), this Lease shall terminate as to the part taken as of the date the condemning
authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than ten percent (10%) of any
building portion of the premises, or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the land area portion of
the premises not occupied by any building, is taken by Condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee’s
option, to be exercised in writing within ten (IO) days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written
notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten (IO) days after the condemning
authority shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning
authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the
foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises
remaining, except that the Base Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in utility of the
Premises caused by such Condemnation. Condemnation awards and/or payments shall be the
property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of
the leasehold, the value of the part taken, or for severance damages; provided, however, that
Lessee shall be entitled to any compensation for Lessee’s relocation expenses, loss of business goodwill and/or Trade Fixtures, without regard to whether or not this Lease is terminated pursuant
to the provisions of this Paragraph. All Alterations and Utility Installations made to the Premises by
Lessee, for purposes of Condemnation only, shall be considered the property of the Lessee and
Lessee shall be entitled to any and all compensation which is payable therefore, in the event that
this Lease is not terminated by reason of the Condemnation, Lessor shall repair any damage to the
Premises caused by such Condemnation.
16. Lessee and Lessor each
represent and warrant to the other that it has had no dealings with any person, firm, or broker in
connection with this Lease, and that no one is entitled to any commission or finder’s fee in
connection herewith. Lessee and Lessor do each hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend and
hold the other harmless from and against liability for compensation or charges which may be
claimed by any such unnamed broker, finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings or
actions of the indemnifying Party, including any costs, expenses, or attorneys’ fees reasonably
incurred with respect thereto.
17. Estoppel Certificates.
(a) Lessee shall within ten (IO) days after written notice from Lessor, execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a statement in writing in form similar to the then most current
“Estoppel Certificate” form published by the American Industrial Real Estate Association, plus
such additional information, confirmation and/or statements as may be reasonably requested by the
Lessor.
(b) If the Lessee shall fail to execute or deliver the Estoppel Certificate within such
ten day period, the Lessor Party may execute an Estoppel Certificate stating that: (i) the Lease is
in full force and effect without modification except as may be represented by the Lessor, (ii) there
are no uncured defaults in the Lessors performance, and (iii) not more than one month’s rent has
been paid in advance. Prospective purchasers and encumbrancers may rely upon the Lessor’s
Estoppel Certificate, and the Lessee shall be estopped from denying the truth of the facts
contained in said Certificate.
(c) If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Premises, or any part thereof,
Lessee and all Guarantors shall deliver to any potential lender or purchaser designated by Lessor
such financial statements as may be reasonably required by such lender or purchaser, including
but not limited to Lessee’s financial statements for the past three (3) years. All such financial
statements shall be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be
used only for the purposes herein set forth.
18. Definition of Lessor. The term “Lessor” as used herein shall mean the owner or owners
at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises, or, if this is a sublease, of the Lessee’s
Condemnation.
Representations and Indemnities of Broker Relationships.

interest in the prior lease. In the event of a transfer of Lessor’s title or interest in the Premises or
this Lease, Lessor shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by credit) any unused
Security Deposit held by Lessor. Upon such transfer or assignment and delivery of the Security
Deposit, as aforesaid, the prior Lessor shall be relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations
and/or covenants under this Lease thereafter to be performed by the Lessor. Subject to the
foregoing, the obligations and/or covenants in this Lease to be performed by the Lessor shall be
binding only upon the Lessor as hereinabove defined. Notwithstanding the above, and subject to
the provisions of Paragraph 21 below, the original Lessor under this Lease, and all subsequent
holders of the Lessor’s interest in this Lease shall remain liable and responsible with regard to the
potential duties and liabilities of Lessor pertaining to Hazardous Substances as outlined in
Paragraph 6.2 above.
19. Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision thereof.
20. Days. Unless otherwise specifically indicated to the contrary, the word “days” as used in
this Lease shall mean and refer to calendar days.
21. Limitation on Liability. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 18 above, the obligations of
Lessor under this Lease shall not constitute personal obligations of Lessor, the individual partners
of Lessor or its or their individual partners, directors, officers, or shareholders, and Lessee shall
look to the Premises, and to no other assets of Lessor, for the satisfaction of any liability of Lessor
with respect to this Lease, and shall not seek recourse against the individual partners of Lessor, or
its or their individual partners, directors, officers or shareholders, or any of their personal assets for
such satisfaction.
22. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of all obligations
to be performed or observed by the Parties under this Lease.
23. No Prior or Other Agreements; Broker Disclaimer. This Lease contains all agreements
between the Parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein, and no other prior or
contemporaneous agreement or understanding shall be effective.
24. Notices.
Notice Requirements. All notices required or permitted by this Lease shall be in
writing and may be delivered in person (by hand or by courier) or may be sent by regular, certified
or registered mail or US. Postal Service Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or by facsimile
transmission, and shall be deemed sufficiently given if served in a manner specified in this
Paragraph 24. The addresses noted adjacent to a Party’s signature on this Lease shall be that
Party’s address for delivery or mailing of notices. Either Party may by written notice to the other
specify a different address for notice. A copy of all notices to Lessor shall be concurrently
transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time to time hereafter
designate in writing.
24.2 Date of Notice. Any notice sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, shall be deemed given on the date of delivery shown on the receipt card, or if no
delivery date is shown, the postmark thereon. If sent by regular mail the notice shall be deemed
given three (3) business days after the same is addressed as required herein and mailed with
postage prepaid. Notices delivered by United States Express Mail or overnight courier that guarantee next day delivery shall be deemed given twenty-four (24) hours after delivery of the
same to the Postal Service or courier. Notices transmitted by facsimile transmission or similar
means shall be deemed delivered upon telephone confirmation of receipt, provided a copy is also
delivered via delivery or mail. If notice is received on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, it shall
be deemed received on the next business day.
25. Waivers. No waiver by Lessor of the Default or Breach of any term, covenant or condition
hereof by Lessee, shall be deemed a waiver of any other term, covenant or condition hereof, or of
any subsequent Default or Breach by Lessee of the same or of any other term, covenant or
24.1
PAGE 19 Initials@
condition thereof, Lessor’s consent to, or approval of, any act shall not be deemed to render
unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor‘s consent to, or approval of, any subsequent or similar act by
Lessee, or be construed as the basis of an Estoppel to enforce the provision or provisions of this
Lease requiring such consent. The acceptance of Rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any
Default or Breach by Lessee. Any payment by Lessee may be accepted by Lessor on account of
moneys or damages due Lessor, notwithstanding any qualifying statements or conditions made by
Lessee in connection therewith, which such statements and/or conditions shall be of no force or
effect whatsoever unless specifically agreed to in writing by Lessor at or before the time of deposit
of such payment.
26. Recording. Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a short form
memorandum of this Lease for recording purposes.
27. No Right To Holdover. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the Premises or any
part thereof beyond the expiration or termination of this Lease. In the event that Lessee holds over,
then the Base Rent shall be increased to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent
applicable during the month immediately preceding the expiration or termination. Nothing
contained herein shall be construed as consent by Lessor to any holding over by Lessee.
28. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but
shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.
29. Covenants and Conditions; Construction of Agreement. All provisions of this Lease to
be observed or performed by Lessee and Lessor are both covenants and conditions. In construing
this Lease, all headings and titles are for the convenience of the parties only and shall not be
considered a part of this Lease. Whenever required by the context, the singular shall include the
plural and vice versa. This Lease shall not be construed as if prepared by one of the parties, but
rather according to its fair meaning as a whole, as if both parties had prepared it.
30. This Lease shall be binding upon the parties, their
personal representatives, successors and assigns and be governed by the laws of California. Any
litigation between the Parties hereto concerning this Lease shall be initiated in North San Diego
County Superior Court.
31. Subordination; Attornment; Non-Disturbance.
Subordination. This Lease and any Option granted hereby shall be subject and
subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, bond indebtedness, or other
hypothecation or security device (collectively, “Security Device”), now or hereafter placed upon
the Premises, to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all renewals,
modifications, and extensions thereof. Lessee agrees that the holders of any such Security
Devices (in this Lease together referred to as “Lessor’s Lender”) shall have no liability or obligation
to perform any of the obligations of Lessor under this Lease. Any Lender may elect to have this
Lease and/or any Option granted hereby superior to the lien of its Security Device by giving written
notice thereof to Lessee, whereupon this Lease and such Options shall be deemed prior to such
Security Device, notwithstanding the relative dates of the documentations or recordation thereof.
Attornment. Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of Paragraph 31.3, Lessee
agrees to attorn to a Lender or any other party who acquires ownership of the Premises by reason
of a foreclosure of a Security Device, and that in the event of such foreclosure, such new owner
shall not: (i) be liable for any act or omission of any prior Lessor or with respect to events occurring
prior to acquisition of ownership; (ii) be subject to any offsets or defenses which Lessee might have
against any prior Lessor, or (iii) be bound by prepayment of more than one (1) month’s rent.
Non-Disturbance. With respect to Security Devices entered into by Lessor after the
execution of this Lease, Lessee’s subordination of this Lease shall be subject to receiving a
commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement (a “Non-Disturbance Agreement”) from the
Lender which Non-Disturbance Agreement provides that Lessee’s possession of the Premises, and
this Lease, including any options to extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long as Lessee
Binding Effect; Choice of Law.
31.1
31.2
31.3
PAGE 20
is not in Breach hereof and attorns to the record owner of the Premises. Further, within sixty (60)
days after the execution of this Lease, Lessor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain a Non-Disturbance Agreement from the holder of any pre-existing Security Device which is
secured by the Premises. In the event that Lessor is unable to provide the Non-Disturbance
Agreement within said sixty (60) days, then Lessee may, at Lessee’s option, directly contact
Lessor‘s lender and attempt to negotiate for the execution and delivery of a Non-Disturbance
Agreement.
31.4 Self-Executing. The agreements contained in this Paragraph 31 shall be effective
without the execution of any further documents; provided, however, that, upon written request from
Lessor or a Lender in connection with a sale, financing or refinancing of the Premises, Lessee and
Lessor shall execute such further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document
any subordination, attornment and/or Non-Disturbance Agreement provided for herein.
32. Signs. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises without Lessor‘s prior written
consent. All signs must comply with all Applicable Carlsbad Municipal Code Requirements.
33. Termination; Merger. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by Lessor, the
voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual termination, or cancellation hereof,
or a termination hereof by Lessor for Breach by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease
or lesser estate in the Premises; provided, however, that Lessor may elect to continue any one or
all existing subtenancies. Lessor’s failure within ten (IO) days following any such event to elect to
the contrary by written notice to the holder of any such lesser interest, shall constitute Lessor’s
election to have such event constitute the termination of such interest.
34. Consents. Except as otherwise provided herein, wherever in this Lease the consent of a
Party is required to an act by or for the other Party, such consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Lessor’s actual reasonable costs and expenses (including but not limited to
architects’, attorneys’, engineers’ and other consultants’ fees) incurred in the consideration of, or
response to, a request by Lessee for any Lessor consent, including but not limited to consents to
an assignment, a subletting or the presence or use of a Hazardous Substance, shall be paid by
Lessee upon receipt of an invoice and supporting documentation therefore. Lessor‘s consent to
any act, assignment or subletting shall not constitute an acknowledgement that no Default or
Breach by Lessee of this Lease exists, nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then
existing Default or Breach, except as may be otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor at
the time of such consent. The failure to specify herein any particular condition to Lessor’s consent
shall not preclude the imposition by Lessor at the time of such consent of such further or other
conditions as are then reasonable with reference to the particular matter for which consent is being
given. In the event that either Party disagrees with any determination made by the other hereunder
and reasonably requests the reasons for such determination, the determining party shall furnish its
reasons in writing and in reasonable detail within ten (1 0) business days following such request.
35. Quiet Possession. Subject to payment by Lessee of the Rent and performance of all of
the covenants, conditions, and provisions on Lessee’s part to be observed and performed under
this Lease, Lessee shall have quiet possession and quiet enjoyment of the Premises during the
term hereof.
36. Options.
Definition. “Option” shall mean: (a) the right to extend the term of or renew this
Lease or to extend or renew any lease that Lessee has on other property of Lessor; (b) the right of
first refusal or first offer to lease either the Premises or other property of Lessor; (c) the right to
purchase or the right of first refusal to purchase the Premises or other property of Lessor.
Options Personal To Original Lessee. Each Option granted to Lessee in this
Lease is personal to the original Lessee, and cannot be assigned or exercised by anyone other
than said original Lessee and only while the original Lessee is in full possession of the Premises
36.1
36.2
Initials j4 PAGE 21
and, if requested by Lessor, with Lessee certifying that Lessee has no intention of thereafter
assigning or subletting.
Number and Term. Lessee may, at Lessee’s option, extend the Initial Term of this
Lease for Two (2) periods of five (5) consecutive years, subject to all of the provisions of this
Lease. Each Extension Term shall commence at the expiration of the Initial Term and or
subsequent terms, and shall terminate on the last day of the Extension Term. After the exercise of
an option to extend, all references in this lease to the “Term” shall be considered to mean the Term
as extended, and all references to termination or to the end shall be considered to mean the
termination of the Extension Term.
Method of Exercise of Option: Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 1.5 (Option
to Extend), Lessee may exercise Lessee’s Option by giving Lessor written notice by certified mail,
return receipt requested. Written notice shall be given not less than one hundred and eighty (180)
days prior to the expiration of the Term. If such notification is not given as stated above, this
Option shall automatically expire.
Calculation of Rent at Beginning of Option Period. The initial monthly Base Rent
for the Extension Term shall be the Base Monthly Rent being paid during the last month of the prior
Lease Term. The Base Rent shall be increased annually in accordance with Paragraph 4.3
(Rental Adjustment).

36.5
Effect of Default on Options.
(a) Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option: (i) during the period
commencing with the giving of any notice of Default and continuing until said Default is cured, (ii)
during the period of time any Rent is unpaid (without regard to whether notice thereof is given
Lessee), (iii) during the time Lessee is in Breach of this Lease, or (iv) in the event that Lessee has
been given three (3) or more notices of separate Default, whether or not the Defaults are cured,
during the twelve (I 2) month period immediately preceding the exercise of the Option.
(b) The period of time within which an Option may be exercised shall not be
extended or enlarged by reason of Lessee’s inability to exercise an Option because of the
provisions of Paragraph 36.6(a).
(c) An Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding
Lessee’s due and timely exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise and prior to the
commencement of the extended term, (i) Lessee fails to pay Rent for a period of thirty (30) days
after such Rent becomes due (without any necessity or Lessor to give notice thereof), (ii) Lessor
gives to Lessee three (3) or more notices of separate Default during any twelve (12) month period,
whether or not the Defaults are cured, or (iii) if Lessee commits a Breach of this Lease.
Broker Fees on Options. In the event Lessee exercises an Option to extend or
renew this lease, no broker fees will be owed by Lessor.
37. Lessee hereby acknowledges that the rental payable to Lessor
hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or other security measures, and that Lessor
shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide same. Lessee assumes all responsibility for the
protection of the Premises, Lessee, its agents and invitees and their property from the acts of third
parties.
38. Reservations. Lessor reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant, without the
consent or joinder of Lessee, such easements, rights and dedications that Lessor deems
necessary, and to cause the recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so long as such
easements, rights, dedications, maps and restrictions do not unreasonably interfere with the use of
the Premises by Lessee. Lessee agrees to sign any documents reasonably requested by Lessor to
effectuate any such easement rights, dedication, map or restrictions.
39. Performance Under Protest. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any amount or sum
of money to be paid by one Party to the other under the provisions hereof, the Party against whom
36.7
Security Measures.
PAGE 22 Initials
the obligation to pay the money is asserted shall have the right to make payment “under protest”
and such payment shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive the right on
the part of said Party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it shall be adjudged that there
was no legal obligation on the part of said Party to pay such sum or any part thereof, said Party
shall be entitled to recover such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay.
40. Authority. If either Party hereto is a corporation, trust, limited liability company,
partnership, or similar entity, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of such entity
represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on its
behalf. Each party shall upon request, deliver to the other party satisfactory evidence of such
authority.
41. Conflict. Any conflict between the printed provisions of this Lease and the typewritten or
handwritten provisions shall be controlled by the typewritten or handwritten provisions.
42. Offer. This Lease is not intended to be binding until executed and delivered by all Parties
hereto.
43. Amendments. This Lease may be modified only in writing, signed by the Parties in interest
at the time of the modification. As long as they do not materially change Lessee’s obligations
hereunder, Lessee agrees to make such reasonable non-monetary modifications to this Lease as
may be reasonably required by a Lender in connection with the obtaining of financing or refinancing
of the Premises.
44. Multiple Parties. If more than one person or entity is named herein as either Lessor or
Lessee, such multiple Parties shall have joint and several responsibility to comply with the terms of
this Lease.
45. Construction. All improvements shall be constructed by a duly licensed contractor or
contractors and shall be completed in an expeditious and workmanlike manner, with good and
sufficient materials.
