4.3 Premises Taken “AS IS”; Furniture.

(a) As Is. Subject to Section 4.3(b) below, Sublessee agrees that it is taking the Subleased Premises in an “as is” condition and without any representations or warranties by Sublessor of any kind or nature whatsoever. Sublessee shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements to the Subleased Premises without first obtaining the written consent of Sublessor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and, if required by the Master Lease, of Landlord. Any approved alterations, additions or improvements to the Subleased Premises shall be made by Sublessee at Sublessee’s sole cost and expense, and otherwise upon all applicable terms and conditions of the Master Lease (including any removal and restoration obligations) and this Sublease.

(b) Furniture & Equipment. During the Sublease Term, at no charge to Sublessee, Sublessee shall be permitted to use the existing modular and office furniture located in the Subleased Premises and described in more particular detail in Exhibit C attached hereto, as well as all data cabling associated therewith (the “Furniture”) and the equipment, described in more particular detail in Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Equipment”). Sublessee shall accept the Furniture and the Equipment in their current condition without any warranty of fitness from Sublessor (Sublessee expressly acknowledges that no warranty is made by Sub lessor with respect to the condition of any cabling currently located in or serving the Subleased Premises). For purposes of documenting the current condition of the Furniture and the Equipment, Sublessee and Sublessor shall, prior to the Sublease Commencement Date, conduct a joint walk-through of the Subleased Premises in order to inventory items of damage or disrepair. Sub lessee shall use the Furniture and the Equipment only for the purposes for which such Furniture and Equipment is intended and shall be responsible for the proper maintenance, insurance, care and repair of the Furniture and Equipment, at Sublessee’s sole cost and expense, using maintenance contractors and practices reasonably specified by Sublessor. Sublessee shall not modify, reconfigure or relocate any of the Furniture or Equipment except with the advance written permission of Sublessor, and any work of modifying any Furniture or Equipment (including, without limitation, changing the configuration of, “breaking down” or reassembly of cubicles or other modular furniture) shall be performed at Sublessee’s sole cost using Sublessor’s specified vendors or an alternate vendor reasonably approved in writing by Sublessor. No item of Furniture or Equipment shall be removed from the Subleased Premises without Sublessor’s prior written consent. Prior to or promptly following the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease, Sublessor shall conduct a walk-through of the Subleased Premises to catalog any items of damage, disrepair, misuse or loss among the Furniture or Equipment (reasonable wear and tear and casualty excepted) caused during the Sublease Term, and Sublessee shall be responsible, at Sublessee’s sole cost and expense, for curing any such items (including, with respect to loss, replacing any lost item with a substantially similar item reasonably acceptable to Sublessor). All maintenance contracts in connection for the Equipment shall be maintained by Sublessor.

4.4 Security Deposit. Concurrently with the execution of this Sublease by Sublessee, Sublessee shall provide Sublessor a security deposit of $5000.00. The Security Deposit shall be held by Sub lessor as security for the faithful performance by Sublessee of all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Sublease to be kept and performed by Sublessee during the Sublease Term. The Security Deposit is not an advance payment of rental or a measure or limit of Sub lessor’s damages in case of default of Sublessee. Sublessor may at Sublessor’s discretion, from time to time following an uncured default beyond applicable notice and cure periods and without prejudice to any other remedy, use all or a part of the Security Deposit to perform any obligation Sublessee fails to perform hereunder. Following any such application of the Security Deposit, Sublessee shall pay to Sub lessor within five (5) business days following written demand the amount so applied in order to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Within thirty (30) days following the later to occur of the expiration of this Sublease and the date on which Sublessee surrenders the Subleased Premises in the condition required by the Sublease, Sublessor shall return to Sublessee the portion of the Security Deposit remaining after deducting all damages, charges and other amounts permitted by law to be deducted under this Sublease. Sublessor and Sublessee agree that such deductions shall include, without limitation, all damages and losses that Sublessor has suffered or that Sub lessor reasonably estimates that it will suffer as a result of any breach of this Sublease by Sublessee; provided that Sublessor shall refund to Sublessee any amount estimated that exceeds the actual damages suffered by Sublessor that are compensable from the Security Deposit. Sublessee hereby waives the protections of Section 1950.7(c) of the California Civil Code, as it may hereafter be amended, or similar laws of like import. Unless required otherwise by applicable law, the Security Deposit may be commingled with other funds, and no interest shall be paid thereon.

4.5 Assignment by Sublessee. Sublessee shall not have the right to sub-sublease the Subleased Premises or to assign its interest under this Sublease except as permitted under Section 16.8 [Permitted Transfer] of the Master Lease, as incorporated herein.

4.6 Security. Sublessor shall have no responsibility for or with respect to the amount and type of security services, if any, to be provided to the Subleased Premises. Sublessor shall not be liable to Sub lessee, and Sublessee hereby and expressly assumes all risk of loss in connection with, and waives any claim against Sublessor for: (i) any unauthorized or criminal entry of third parties into the Subleased Premises or the Building, (ii) any damage or injury to property or persons from any unauthorized or criminal acts of third parties, regardless of any action, inaction, failure, breakdown or insufficiency of security, and (iii) any theft or loss of or damage to any property in or about the Subleased Premises or the Building from any unauthorized or criminal acts of third parties, regardless of any action, inaction, failure, breakdown or insufficiency of security.

4.7 Default by Sublessee; Indemnification. Upon the failure of Sublessee to pay Rent or comply with any other provisions of this Sublease or the occurrence of any other event which constitutes a default under this Sublease, in each case beyond any applicable notice and/or cure period, Sublessor shall be entitled to all the same rights and remedies against Sublessee on account of such default by Sublessee under this Sublease as are granted in the Master Lease to Landlord against Tenant on account of a default by Tenant under the Master Lease. In addition to, and not in limitation of, the indemnification obligations set forth in the Master Lease, as incorporated herein, Sublessee shall indemnify, defend and hold Sublessor harm less from and against all liability, damages, claims, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, arising out of Sublessee’s default under this Sublease. So long as (1) this Sublease is in full force and effect and (2) Sublessor is not otherwise entitled pursuant to this Sublease, Sublessor shall not cause the Master Lease to be cancelled, terminated, forfeited or surrendered, or take any actions giving rise to a termination right under the Master Lease, amend or waive any provisions under the

 

7


Master Lease or make any elections, exercise any right or remedy or give any consent or approval under the Master Lease that could interfere with Sublessee’s use of the Subleased Premises or decrease Sublessee’s rights or increase Sublessee’s obligations hereunder, except in connection with Sublessor’s rights, as tenant, to terminate the Master Lease in connection with a casualty or condemnation. If the Master Lease terminates or is terminated for any reason whatsoever, then this Sublease shall terminate simultaneously therewith, provided however, that if the Master Lease terminates as a result of a default or breach by Sublessor or Sublessee under this Sublease and/or the Master Lease, then the defaulting party shall be liable to the non-defaulting party for the damages suffered as a result of such termination, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.9 below.

4.8 Confidentiality. Sublessee acknowledges the confidential nature of Sub lessor’s business and shall comply with the reasonable security requirements of Sublessor and shall use its best efforts to keep any knowledge gained by Sub lessee as a result of its occupancy of the Subleased Premises or access by Sub lessee confidential and Sublessee shall not use such confidential information for any other purpose.

4.9 Holding Over. If Sublessee (directly or through any transferee or other successor-in-interest of Sublessee) remains in possession of all or any part of the Subleased Premises after the expiration of the Sublease Term or earlier termination of this Sublease, such holding over, in the absence of an express written agreement to the contrary, shall be on the basis of a tenancy at the sufferance of Sub lessor. In such event, Sub lessee shall continue to comply with all of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Sublease as though the Sublease Term had continued, except that such tenancy at sufferance shall be terminable by Sublessor at any time and rent shall be paid for each month (or portion thereof) during which Sublessee holds over in the Subleased Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, in an amount equal to 150% of the monthly Base Sublease Rent due under this Sublease, plus all other amounts that would otherwise have been payable as Additional Rent had the Sublease Term continued through the period of such holding over, plus all other amounts that would otherwise have been payable as Additional Rent had the Sublease Term continued through the period of such holding over. If Sublessee fails to surrender the Subleased Premises on the Sublease Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Sublease, in addition to any other liabilities to Sublessor accruing therefrom, Sublessee shall indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless from all loss or liability resulting from such failure, including without limitation (i) any claims of Landlord against Sublessor for failure to surrender the Premises at the time and in the manner required under the Master Lease or for violating any term of the Master Lease, and (ii) any claims made by any succeeding subtenant, tenant or other third party based upon such failure. This indemnification obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease. The provisions of this Section 4.9 are in addition to and do not limit Sublessor’s rights or Sublessee’s obligations under this Sublease.

5.12 CASp. For purposes of Section 1938 of the California Civil Code and to Sublessor’s actual knowledge, Sublessor hereby discloses to Sublessee, and Sublessee hereby acknowledges, that the Premises have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (“CASp”). As required by Section 1938(e) of the California Civil Code, Sublessor hereby states as follows: “A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CA Sp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises.” In furtherance of the foregoing, Sublessor and Sublessee hereby agree as follows: (i) any CASp inspection requested by Sublessee shall be conducted, at Sublessee’s sole cost and expense, by a CASp reasonably approved in advance by Sublessor; and (ii) the parties’ rights and obligations with respect to making any repairs within the Subleased Premises to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards shall be in accordance with the Master Lease (to the extent incorporated herein). The foregoing verification is included in this Sublease solely for the purpose of complying with California Civil Code Section 1938 and shall not in any manner affect Sublessor’s and Sublessee’s respective responsibilities for compliance with construction-related accessibility standards as provided under this Sublease.

5.13 Authority. Sublessee hereby covenants and warrants that (a) Sublessee is in good standing under the laws of the State of California, (b) Sublessee has full corporate power and authority to enter into this Sublease and to perform all Sublessee’s obligations under the Sublease, and (c) each person signing this Sublease on behalf of Sub lessee is duly and validly authorized to do so.

Further, the parties agree that this Sublease may be signed and/or transmitted by electronic mail of a .PDF document or electronic signature (e.g., DocuSign or similar electronic signature technology) and thereafter maintained in electronic form, and that such electronic record shall be valid and effective to bind the party so signing as a paper copy bearing such party’s hand-written signature.
