1.23     Interpretation. The Basic Lease Provisions shall be interpreted in conjunction with all of the other terms and conditions of this Lease. Other terms and conditions of this Lease modify and expand on the Basic Lease Provisions. If there is a conflict between the Basic Lease Provisions and the other terms and conditions of this Lease, the other terms and conditions shall control.

2. Premises.

2.1     Acceptance. Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, the Premises, to have and to hold for the term of this Lease, subject to the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Tenant shall have access 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Premises is depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto. The Premises depicted on Exhibit A is all or a part of the building located at the address shown in Section 1.4 (the “Building”) and may contain areas outside of the Building to the extent such areas are specifically identified on Exhibit A as being a part of the Premises. Tenant shall accept the Premises in its condition as of the Commencement Date, subject to all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, certificates of occupancy, conditional use or other permits, variances, covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements (collectively, “Legal Requirements”) and subject to Landlord’s obligation, as more expressly set forth herein, to deliver the Premises to Tenant in the condition expressly set forth in this Lease, and except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein, Landlord shall not be obligated to make any repairs or alterations to the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation or warranty as to the suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business, and Tenant waives any implied warranty that the Premises are suitable for Tenant’s intended purposes. The number of square feet set forth in Section 1.6 is an approximation, and the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share shall not be changed if the actual number of square feet in the Premises is different than the number of square feet set forth in Section 1.6.

2.2     Common Areas. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant for the benefit of Tenant and its employees, suppliers, shippers, customers and invitees during the term of this Lease, the nonexclusive right to use, in common with others entitled to such use (including Landlord), the Common Areas (as hereinafter defined) as they exist from time to time, subject to all rights reserved by Landlord hereunder and under the terms of all rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord from time to time with respect thereto. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to (a) make changes in the Common Areas, including, without limitation, changes in location, size, shape and number of driveways, entrances, parking spaces, parking areas, loading and unloading areas, ingress, egress, direction of traffic, landscaped areas and walkways; (b) close temporarily any of the Common Areas for maintenance purposes so long as reasonable access to the Premises remains available; (c) construct additional buildings, parking areas, loading dock facilities and other improvements within the Common Areas; and (d) do and perform such other acts and make such other changes in, to or with respect to the Common Areas as Landlord may deem appropriate. As used herein, the term “Common Areas” means all areas and facilities outside the Premises and within the exterior boundary lines of the land owned by Landlord that are provided and designated by Landlord as such from time to time for general nonexclusive use of Tenant and others, including, if designated by Landlord as Common Areas, parking areas, loading and unloading areas, trash areas, roadways, sidewalks, walkways, parkways and landscaped areas, and Tenant shall have no leasehold interest in the Common Areas. The Building is part of a multi-building office and life science project currently owned by Landlord and known as “Edgewater Business Park”, which project (herein collectively referred to as the “Project”): is currently comprised of (A) the Building, (B) five (5) other buildings located within Edgewater Business Park (collectively, the “Additional Buildings”), (C) the Common Areas; and (D) the land upon which the Building, the Additional Buildings and such parking areas and other facilities are located. Under no circumstances shall the right herein granted to use the Common Areas be deemed to include the right to store any property, temporarily or permanently, in the Common Areas, including, without limitation, the storage of trucks or other vehicles. Any such storage shall be permitted only with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be revoked at any time. In the event that any unauthorized storage shall occur then Landlord shall have the right, without notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove the property and charge the cost to Tenant, which cost shall be immediately payable upon demand by Landlord.

3.

3. Term.

3.1     Term and Commencement Date. The term and Commencement Date of this Lease are as specified in Sections 1.9 and 1.10. The Commencement Date set forth in Section 1.10 is an estimated Commencement Date. Subject to the limitations contained in Section 3.3 below, the actual Commencement Date shall be the date possession of the Premises is tendered to Tenant in accordance with Section 3.4 below and the Addendum to Lease which is attached to and incorporated herein; provided, however, that the Commencement Date shall not occur prior to the date set forth in Section 1.10. If the actual Commencement Date does not occur on the first day of a calendar month, the term of this Lease shall be extended by the number of days between the actual Commencement Date and the first day of the next calendar month, it being the intention of Landlord and Tenant that the Term of the Lease end on the last day of a calendar month. When the actual Commencement Date is established by Landlord, Landlord shall complete the letter attached hereto as Exhibit B and Tenant shall, within five (5) days after Landlord’s request, execute the letter and deliver it to Landlord. Tenant’s failure to execute the letter within five (5) days after Landlord’s second request shall constitute Tenant’s acknowledgment of the truth of the facts contained in the letter delivered by Landlord to Tenant.

3.2     Delay in Possession. Notwithstanding the Estimated Commencement Date specified in Section 1.10, if for any reason Landlord cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on said date or any other date with the Landlord’s Work complete as required in the Addendum, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder; provided, however, in such a case, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay rent or perform any other obligation of Tenant under this Lease, except as may be otherwise provided in this Lease, until possession of the Premises is tendered to Tenant, as defined in Section 3.4. If Landlord shall not have tendered possession of the Premises to Tenant within sixty (60) days following the Estimated Commencement Date specified in Section 1.10, as the same may be adjusted in accordance with this Section 3.2 or Section 3.3 in the condition required by the Addendum, Tenant may, at Tenant’s option, by notice in writing to Landlord within ten (10) days after the expiration of the sixty (60) day period, terminate this Lease. If Tenant terminates this Lease as provided in the preceding sentence, the parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder, except that Landlord shall return any money previously deposited with Landlord by Tenant; and provided further, that if such written notice by Tenant is not received by Landlord within said ten (10) day period, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease as provided above unless Landlord fails to tender possession of the Premises to Tenant within one hundred twenty (120) days following the Estimated Commencement Date specified in Section 1.10, as the same may be adjusted in accordance with this Section 3.2 or Section 3.3 or in accordance with the Addendum attached to this Lease. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Estimated Commencement Date specified in Section 1.10, as the same may be adjusted in accordance with this Section 3.2 or Section 3.3 or in accordance with the Addendum, due to a Force Majeure Event (as defined below), such estimated Commencement Date shall be extended by the period of the delay caused by the Force Majeure Event, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days. A “Force Majeure Event” shall mean fire, earthquake, weather delays or other acts of God, strikes, boycotts, war, riot, insurrection, embargoes, shortages of equipment, labor or materials, delays in issuance of governmental permits or approvals, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.

3.3     Delays Caused by Tenant. If a delay in Landlord’s delivery of possession of the Premises with the Landlord’s Work complete is caused by any delays caused by acts or omissions of Tenant, Tenant’s agents, employees and contractors (hereinafter “Tenant Delays”), then the Commencement Date shall be deemed to be the date upon which the Landlord’s Work would have been completed but for the Tenant Delays.   Within thirty (30) days after Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to Tenant, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the date Landlord could have delivered possession of the Premises to Tenant but for the Tenant Delays.

4.

3.4     Tender of Possession. Possession of the Premises shall be deemed tendered to Tenant when Landlord’s architect or agent has determined that (a) the Landlord’s Work to be provided by Landlord pursuant to the Addendum is substantially completed, (b) the Project utilities are ready for use in the Premises, (c) Tenant has reasonable access to the Premises, and (d) Landlord has offered Tenant possession of the Premises. The Landlord’s Work shall be deemed “substantially” completed when such improvements have been completed except for minor items or defects which can be completed or remedied after Tenant occupies the Premises without causing substantial interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises.

3.5     Early Possession. Provided that Tenant does not interfere with or delay the completion by Landlord or its agents or contractors of the construction of any Landlord’s Work, Tenant shall have the right to enter the Premises promptly after landlord determines that providing such early access is feasible given the preformance of Landlord’s Work (as defined in the Addendum attached to this Lease) for the purpose of installing furniture, trade fixtures, equipment, and similar items, and Tenant shall have no obligation to begin paying Base Rent or other charges based solely on its installation of these items. . Landlord makes no guarantee regarding any early possession or, if provided, the amount of time provided for such early possession. Tenant shall be liable for any damages or delays caused by Tenant’s activities at the Premises. Prior to entering the Premises, Tenant shall obtain all insurance it is required to obtain by the Lease and shall provide certificates of said insurance to Landlord. Tenant shall coordinate such entry with Landlord’s manager, and such entry shall be made in compliance with all terms and conditions of this Lease and the Rules and Regulations attached hereto.

4. Use.

4.1     Permitted Use. The Premises shall be used only for the purpose described in Section 1.8 and for no other purpose. In no event shall any portion of the Premises be used for retail sales. Tenant shall not initiate, submit an application for, or otherwise request, any land use approvals or entitlements with respect to the Premises or any other portion of the Project, including, without limitation, any variance, conditional use permit or rezoning, without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant shall not (a) permit any animals or pets to be brought to or kept in the Premises, (b) install any antenna, dish or other device on the roof of the Building or outside of the Premises, (c) make any penetrations into the roof of the Building, (d) place loads upon floors, walls or ceilings in excess of the load such items were designed to carry, (e) place or store, nor permit any other person or entity to place or store, any property, equipment, materials, supplies or other items outside of the Building in which the Premises is located or (f) change the exterior of the Premises or the Building in which the Premises is located. In no event shall Tenant use the Premises for the sale of medical marijuana or any use associated with the sale of medical marijuana. Tenant acknowledges that it has satisfied itself by its own independent investigation that the Premises and the Project are suitable for its intended use and that its use is permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, and that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s agents have made any representation or warranty as to the present or future suitability of the Premises, or the Project for the conduct of Tenant’s business. Landlord shall have the right to prescribe the weight, size and position of all safes and other heavy property brought into the Building. Heavy equipment, machinery and other heavy objects shall, if considered necessary by Landlord, stand on supports of such thickness as is necessary to properly distribute the weight. Landlord will not be responsible for loss of or damage to any such safe or property in any case. All damage done to any part of the Building and/or Project, its contents, occupants or visitors by moving or maintaining any such safe or other property shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant and any expense of said damage or injury shall be borne by Tenant. Tenant’s use of the Premises, machines and equipment which affect air quality or cause dust, debris or odor which may be transmitted to or through the structure of the Building, anywhere in the Project, or to any space therein, which is objectionable to Landlord in its commercially reasonable discretion, or to any tenants in the Building, shall, at Tenant’s expense, be contained by Tenant so as not to affect any area of the Project, other tenants, Landlord, other than the interior of the Premises. Tenant’s use of the Premises, machines and equipment which cause noise and vibration which may be transmitted to the structure of the Building anywhere in the Project, or to any space therein, and which is objectionable to Landlord or to any tenants in the Building, shall, at Tenant’s expense, be contained by Tenant and placed and maintained by Tenant on vibration eliminators or other devices sufficient, in Landlord’s commercially reasonable determination, to minimize noise or vibration.

5.

4.2     Compliance With Laws. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole expense (except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease), promptly comply with all Legal Requirements, the recommendations of Landlord’s engineers or other consultants, and requirements of any fire insurance underwriters, rating bureaus or government agencies, now in effect or which may hereafter come into effect, whether or not they reflect a change in policy from that now existing, during the term or any part of the term hereof, relating in any manner to the Premises or the occupation and use by Tenant of the Premises. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole expense, comply with all accessibility requirements of State and Federal law that apply to the Premises, Common Areas, Building or Project and all federal, state and local laws and regulations governing occupational safety and health where such compliance is required as a result of Tenant’s specific use of the Premises and/or any Alterations made by, for or at the request of Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that it will be responsible for complying with current and future laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act and Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations (including without limitation the 2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards) even though such compliance requires Tenant to make substantial repairs or modifications (including structural modifications) to the Premises, Common Areas, Building or Project but only if the application of the law or regulation is related to Tenant’s specific use of the Premises or any Alterations made by, for or at the request of Tenant. Tenant shall not permit any objectionable or unpleasant odors, smoke, dust, gas, noise or vibrations to emanate from the Premises, or take any other action that would constitute a nuisance, create a dangerous situation, or would disturb, unreasonably interfere with or endanger Landlord or any other tenants of the Project. Tenant shall obtain, at its sole expense, any permit or other governmental authorization required to operate its business from the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable for the failure of any other tenant or person to abide by the requirements of this section or to otherwise comply with applicable Legal Requirements, and Tenant shall not be excused from the performance of its obligations under this Lease due to such a failure. To Landlord’s actual knowledge, the Premises has not undergone an inspection by a certified access specialist. Landlord’s actual knowledge shall mean and be limited to the actual knowledge of the person who is the Building owner’s asset manager (not the Building’s property manager) on the date set forth in Section 1.1, without any duty of inquiry or investigation, and such asset manager shall have no personal liability if such representation or warranty is untrue.

4.3     Occupant Density. Tenant shall maintain a ratio of not more than three and one half Occupants (as defined below) for each one thousand (1000) square feet of leasable area in the Premises (hereinafter, the “Occupant Density”). If Landlord has a reasonable basis to believe that Tenant is exceeding the Occupant Density, upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall maintain on a daily basis an accurate record of the number of employees, visitors, contractors and other people that visit the Premises (collectively “Occupants”). Landlord shall have the right to audit Tenant’s Occupant record and, at Landlord’s option, Landlord shall have the right to periodically visit the Premises without advance notice to Tenant in order to track the number of Occupants working at the Premises. For purposes of this section, “Occupants” shall not include people not employed by Tenant that deliver or pick up mail or other packages at the Premises, employees of Landlord or employees of Landlord’s agents or contractors. Tenant’s failure to comply with the requirements of this section shall constitute a default under Section 17.1 and Landlord shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies it may have at law or equity, to specifically enforce Tenant’s obligations under this section. Nothing contained in this section shall be interpreted to entitle Tenant to use more parking spaces than the number permitted by Section 1.15.

6.

5.     Base Rent. Tenant shall pay Base Rent in the amount set forth on the first page of this Lease. At the time Tenant executes this Lease it shall pay to Landlord the amounts set forth in Sections 1.12 and 1.13. Tenant promises to pay to Landlord in advance, without demand, deduction or set-off, monthly installments of Base Rent and Operating Expenses on or before the first day of each calendar month succeeding the Commencement Date. Payments of Base Rent and Operating Expenses for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated. All payments required to be made by Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be payable at such address as Landlord may specify from time to time by written notice delivered in accordance herewith. Tenant shall have no right at any time to abate, reduce, or set off any rent due hereunder except where expressly provided in this Lease.

6. Operating Expense Payments.

6.1     Operating Expenses. Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the term hereof, in addition to the Base Rent, Tenant’s Percentage Share (as defined below) of the Operating Expenses for the Project. If less than 100% of the leasable square feet in the Project is occupied by tenants or Landlord is not supplying services to 100% of the leasable square feet of the Project at any time during any calendar year, Operating Expenses for such calendar year shall be an amount equal to the Operating Expenses which would normally be expected to be incurred had 100% of the Project’s leasable square feet been occupied and had Landlord been supplying services to 100% of the Project’s leasable square feet throughout such calendar year (hereinafter the “Grossed Up Operating Expenses”). Landlord’s good faith estimate of Grossed Up Operating Expenses shall not be subject to challenge or recalculation by Tenant. Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expense increases for the last calendar year of the Lease Term shall be prorated according to that portion of such calendar year as to which Tenant is responsible for a share of Operating Expenses. For the purposes of this Lease, the term “Operating Expenses” shall mean all expenses and disbursements of every kind (subject to the limitations set forth below) which Landlord incurs, pays or becomes obligated to pay in connection with the ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Project (including the associated Common Areas), including, but not limited to, the following:

(a)     wages and salaries (including management fees not in excess of those typically charged by landlords of comparable properties in the South San Francisco market) of all employees, agents, consultants and other individuals or entities engaged in the operation, repair, replacement, maintenance, and security of the Project, including taxes, insurance and benefits relating thereto;

(b)     all supplies and materials used in the operation, maintenance, repair, replacement, and security of the Project;

(c)     annual cost of all Capital Improvements (as defined below) made to the Project which although capital in nature can reasonably be expected to reduce the normal operating costs of the Project, as well as all Capital Improvements made in order to comply with any law now or hereafter promulgated by any governmental authority, all as amortized over the useful economic life of such improvements as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion (without regarding to the period over which such improvements may be depreciated or amortized for federal income tax purposes) together with an interest factor on the unamortized cost of such item equal to the lesser of eight percent (8%) per annum or the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable Legal Requirements;

(d)     cost of all utilities paid by Landlord;

(e)     cost of Landlord’s personal property used in connection with the operation of the Project;

7.

(f)     cost of repairs, replacements (subject to amortization if capital in nature) and general maintenance of the Project (including all truck court areas, paving and parking areas, Common Area lighting facilities, fences, gates, water lines, sewer lines, rail spur areas and any other item Landlord is obligated to repair or maintain), including costs incurred pursuant to Section 11;

(g)     cost of service or maintenance contracts with independent contractors for the operation, maintenance, repair, replacement or security of the Project (including, without limitation, alarm service, exterior painting, trash collection, snow, ice, debris and waste removal and landscape maintenance);

(h)     the cost of all reasonable accounting fees, management fees, legal fees and consulting fees attributable to the operation, ownership, management, maintenance or repair of the Project;

(i)     payments made by Landlord under any easement, license, operating agreement, declaration, restrictive covenant or other agreement relating to the sharing of costs among property owners;

(j)     reserves created by Landlord, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, for future Operating Expenses or future Capital Improvements;

(k)     the cost of all business licenses, permits or similar fees relating to the operation, ownership, repair or maintenance of the Project;

(l)     the cost of all Real Property Taxes and all insurance purchased by Landlord including, but not limited to, the insurance described in Section 10.2;

(m)     all monitoring, investigation and remediation costs associated with Hazardous Materials and/or incurred pursuant to Section 27, unless such costs and expenses are the responsibility of Tenant as provided in Section 27 hereof, in which event such costs and expenses shall be paid solely by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Section 27, or another tenant of the Project pursuant to its lease, in which case such costs shall be paid by such tenant; and

(n)     the cost of any other item the cost of which is stated in this Lease to be an Operating Expense.

For purposes of this Lease, a “Capital Improvement” shall be an improvement to the Project that Landlord is obligated or permitted to make pursuant to this Lease, the cost of which is not fully deductible in the year incurred in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; provided, however, that, at Landlord’s option, the following items shall be treated as expenses and not Capital Improvements, and the entire cost of these items may be included in Operating Expenses in the year incurred: (i) the cost of painting all or part of the Project, (ii) the cost of resurfacing and restriping roadways and parking areas, (iii) the cost of any items Tenant is obligated to pay for pursuant to Section 12 that Landlord elects, in its sole discretion, to include in Operating Expenses and (iv) the cost of Capital Improvements incurred in any calendar year to the extent the cost of the Capital Improvements are less than $25,000. References to facilities, services, utilities or other items in this section shall not impose an obligation on Landlord to have said facilities or to provide said services unless such facilities and services already exist at the Project.

8.

6.2     Operating Expense Exclusions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of this Lease, the term “Operating Expenses” shall not include the following: (i) costs (including permit, license and inspection fees) incurred for tenant improvements for other tenants within the Project; (ii) legal and auditing fees (other than those fees reasonably incurred in connection with the maintenance and operation of all or any portion of the Project), leasing commissions, advertising expenses and similar costs incurred in connection with the leasing of the Project; (iii) depreciation of the Building or any other improvements situated within the Project; (iv) any items for which Landlord is actually reimbursed by insurance or by direct reimbursement by any other tenant of the Project; (v) other than any interest charges for Capital Improvements referred to in Section 6.1(c) hereinabove, any interest or payments on any financing for the Building or the Project and interest and penalties incurred as a result of Landlord’s late payment of any invoice; (vi) overhead and profit increment paid to Landlord or to subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord for goods and/or services in the Project to the extent the same exceeds the costs of such by unaffiliated third parties on a competitive basis; (vii) any payments under a ground lease or master lease; (viii) except as provided above, the cost of Capital Improvements; (ix) wages or salaries paid to executive personnel of Landlord not providing full-time service at the Building; (x) intentionally omitted; (xi) any costs incurred in the ownership of the Building, as opposed to the operation and maintenance of the Building, including Landlord’s income taxes, excess profit taxes, franchise taxes or similar taxes on Landlord’s business; preparation of income tax returns; corporation, partnership or other business form organizational expenses; franchise taxes; filing fees; or other such expenses; (xii) expenses in connection with services or other benefits of a type which are not Building standard but which are provided to any other tenant or occupant; (xiii) any items to the extent such items are actually reimbursed to Landlord by Tenant (other than through Tenant’s additional rent), or by other tenants or occupants of the Building or by third parties; (xiv) brokerage commissions, origination fees, points, mortgage recording taxes, title charges and other costs or fees incurred in connection with any financing or refinancing or transfer of the Building; (xv) cost of repairs or replacements occasioned by fire, windstorm or other casualty, the costs of which are covered by insurance or reimbursed by governmental authorities in eminent domain; (xvi) penalties, fines, legal expenses, or late payment interest incurred by Landlord due to violation by Landlord, or Landlord’s agents, contractors or employees, or the Building, of any applicable laws, or the payment terms and conditions of any lease or service contract covering space in the Building or Landlord’s obligations as owner of the Building (such as late payment penalties and interest on real estate taxes, late payment of utility bills); (xvii) any compensation paid to clerks, attendants or other persons in any commercial concession operated by Landlord in the Building from which Landlord receives any form of income whatsoever, whether or not Landlord actually makes a profit from such concession; or (xviii) costs incurred in connection with repairing or replacing Building equipment, where such repair or replacement results from original defects in design, manufacture or installation rather than from ordinary wear and tear or use.

6.3     Payment. Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses shall be payable by Tenant within ten (10) days after a reasonably detailed statement of actual expenses is presented to Tenant by Landlord. At Landlord’s option, however, Landlord may, from time to time, estimate what Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses will be, and the same shall be payable by Tenant monthly during each calendar year of the Lease term, on the same day as the Base Rent is due hereunder. In the event that Tenant pays Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses, Landlord shall use its commercially reasonable to deliver to Tenant within one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of each calendar year a reasonably detailed statement (the “Statement”) showing Tenant’s Percentage Share of the actual Operating Expenses incurred during such year. Landlord’s failure to deliver the Statement to Tenant within said period shall not constitute Landlord’s waiver of its right to collect said amounts or otherwise prejudice Landlord’s rights hereunder. If Tenant’s payments under this section during said calendar year exceed Tenant’s Percentage Share as indicated on the Statement, Tenant shall be entitled to credit the amount of such overpayment against Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses next falling due. If Tenant’s payments under this section during said calendar year were less than Tenant’s Percentage Share as indicated on the Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of the deficiency within thirty (30) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of the Statement. Landlord and Tenant shall forthwith adjust between them by cash payment any balance determined to exist with respect to that portion of the last calendar year for which Tenant is responsible for Operating Expenses, notwithstanding that the Lease term may have terminated before the end of such calendar year; and this provision shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

9.

6.4     Tenant’s Percentage Share. “Tenant’s Percentage Share” as used in this Lease shall mean the percentage of the cost of Operating Expenses for which Tenant is obligated to reimburse Landlord pursuant to this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1.14, Landlord shall have the right to determine Tenant’s Percentage Share of the cost of Operating Expenses using any one of the following methods or any combination of the following methods, and Tenant hereby agrees that the following methods of allocation are reasonable: (a) by multiplying the cost of all Operating Expenses by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of square feet of leasable space in the Premises and the denominator of which is the number of square feet of leasable space in all buildings in the Project; or (b) with respect to an Operating Expense attributable solely to the Building in which the Premises is located, requiring Tenant to pay that portion of the cost of the Operating Expense that is obtained by multiplying such cost by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of square feet of leasable space in the Premises and the denominator of which is the number of square feet of leasable space in the Building in which the Premises is located or (c) by allocating an Operating Expense in any other reasonable manner to achieve an equitable result, as determined by Landlord.

7.     Security Deposit. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord at the time it executes this Lease the security deposit set forth in Section 1.13 as security for Tenant’s faithful performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. If Tenant fails to pay Base Rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may use all or any portion of said deposit for the payment of any Base Rent or other charge due hereunder, to pay any other sum to which Landlord may become obligated by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer thereby. If Landlord so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefor deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to its full amount. Landlord shall not be required to keep said security deposit separate from its general accounts. If Tenant performs all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, said deposit, or so much thereof as has not heretofore been applied by Landlord, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other amount for its use, to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee, if any, of Tenant’s interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term hereof, and after Tenant has vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created herein between Landlord and Tenant with respect to said security deposit. Tenant acknowledges that the security deposit is not an advance payment of any kind or a measure of Landlord’s damages in the event of Tenant’s default. For the sake of clarity and without in any way limiting the provisions of this Section, Tenant agrees and acknowledges that, subject to the applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to use the Security Deposit to cure any violation of Section 27 below, including, without limitation, the failure of the Tenant to obtain the Clearance Certificate. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of any law which is inconsistent with this section including, but not limited to, Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code.

8.1     Payment. Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, electricity, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, telephone, sewer, sprinkler services, refuse and trash collection and other utilities and services used on the Premises, together with any taxes, penalties, surcharges or the like pertaining thereto. Tenant shall contract directly with the applicable public utility for any separately metered services. Tenant shall pay its share of all charges for jointly metered utilities based upon consumption, as reasonably determined by Landlord in accordance with a commercially reasonable methodology designed to achieve an equitable allocation of the charges for jointly metered utilities based upon consumption by the various tenants in the Building. Tenant agrees to limit use of water and sewer for uses permitted by Section 1.8, and nothing herein contained shall impose upon Landlord any duty to provide sewer or water usage for uses other than as permitted by Section 1.8.

10.

8.2     Interruptions. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for its failure to furnish water, gas, electricity, telephone, sewer, refuse and trash collection or any other utility services or building services when such failure is occasioned, in whole or in part, by repairs, replacements or improvements, by any strike, lockout or other labor trouble, by inability to secure electricity, gas, water, telephone service or other utility at the Project, by any accident, casualty or event arising from any cause whatsoever, including the negligence of Landlord, its employees, agents and contractors, by act, negligence or default of Tenant or any other person or entity, or by any other cause, and such failures shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from the obligation of paying rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease. Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for loss of property or for injury to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to a failure to furnish any such services or utilities. Landlord may comply with voluntary controls or guidelines promulgated by any governmental entity relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, gas, light or electricity or the reduction of automobile or other emissions without creating any liability of Landlord to Tenant under this Lease. In the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, for five (5) consecutive business days (the "Eligibility Period") as a result of any failure to provide any material services or access to the Premises due to Landlord's default, then Tenant's rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of the Premises.

8.3     Alternative Utility Providers. If permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the term of this Lease to either contract for service from a different company or companies (each such company referred to as an “Alternate Service Provider”) other than the company or companies presently providing electrical service for the Project (the “Electric Service Provider”) or continue to contract for service from the Electric Service Provider, at Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord, the Electric Service Provider, and an Alternate Service Provider at all times and, as reasonably necessary, shall allow Landlord, the Electric Service Provider, and any Alternate Service Provider reasonable access to the Building’s electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring and any other machinery within the Premises.

8.4     Energy Use. Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to provide Landlord with copies of bills from electricity, natural gas or similar energy providers (collectively, “Energy Providers”) Tenant receives from Energy Providers relating to Tenant’s energy use at the Premises (“Energy Bills”) within ten (10) days after Landlord’s written request. In addition, Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to obtain copies of the Energy Bills directly from the Energy Provider(s), and Tenant hereby authorizes each Energy Provider to provide Energy Bills and related usage information directly to Landlord without Tenant’s consent. From time to time within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an agreement provided by Landlord authorizing the Energy Provider(s) to provide to Landlord Energy Bills and other information relating to Tenant’s energy usage at the Premises.

8.5     Janitorial Services. Tenant will be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for the furnishing of all janitorial services to the Premises, which janitorial services shall be consistent with the janitorial specifications of comparable life science and research and development buildings in South San Francisco, California, which such specifications shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval.

9.4     Reassessments. From time to time Landlord may challenge the assessed value of the Project as determined by applicable taxing authorities and/or Landlord may attempt to cause the Real Property Taxes to be reduced on other grounds. If Landlord is successful in causing the Real Property Taxes to be reduced or in obtaining a refund, rebate, credit or similar benefit (hereinafter collectively referred to as a “Reduction”), Landlord shall, to the extent practicable, credit the Reduction(s) to Real Property Taxes for the calendar year to which a Reduction applies and recalculate the Real Property Taxes owed by Tenant for that year based on the reduced Real Property Taxes. All costs incurred by Landlord in connection with obtaining and/or processing the Real Property Tax reductions (e.g., consulting fees, accounting fees etc.) may be included in Operating Expenses or deducted from the Reduction. Landlord shall have the right to compensate a person or entity it employs to obtain a Reduction by giving such person or entity a percentage of any Reduction obtained.

10. Insurance.

10.1     Insurance-Tenant.

(a)     Tenant shall obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a commercial general liability policy of insurance with coverages acceptable to Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, which, by way of example and not limitation, protects Tenant and Landlord (as an additional insured) against claims for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage based upon, involving or arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis providing coverage in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and not less than $1,000,000 in the aggregate with excess liability or umbrella coverage in an amount not less than $4,000,000 and an “Additional Insured-Managers and Landlords of Premises Endorsement”.

12.

(b)     Tenant shall obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease “Causes of Loss – Special Form” extended coverage property insurance (previously known as “all risk” property insurance) with coverages acceptable to Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Said insurance shall be written on a one hundred percent (100%) replacement cost basis on Tenant’s personal property, all tenant improvements installed at the Premises by Landlord or Tenant, Tenant’s trade fixtures and other property. By way of example, and not limitation, such policies shall provide protection against any peril included within the classification “fire and extended coverage,” against vandalism and malicious mischief, theft and sprinkler leakage. Tenant’s policy shall include endorsements to insure Tenant against losses to valuable papers, records and computer equipment and to compensate Tenant for the cost of recovering lost data. To the extent that Tenant’s policy covers tenant improvements to the Premises, Landlord shall be a loss payee on such policy.

In addition to the insurance required in (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to increase the limits of its insurance and/or obtain such additional insurance as is customarily required by landlords owning similar real property in the geographical area of the Project.

10.2     Insurance-Landlord.

(a)     Landlord shall obtain and keep in force a policy of general liability insurance with coverage against such risks and in such amounts as Landlord deems advisable insuring Landlord against liability arising out of the ownership, operation and management of the Project.

(b)     Landlord shall also obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage to the Project in the amount of the replacement cost thereof (excluding foundations and similar items), as reasonably determined by Landlord from time to time. The terms and conditions of said policies, their deductibles and the perils and risks covered thereby shall be determined by Landlord, from time to time, in Landlord’s sole discretion. In addition, at Landlord’s option, Landlord shall obtain and keep in force, during the term of this Lease, a policy of rental interruption insurance, with loss payable to Landlord, which insurance shall, at Landlord’s option, also cover all Operating Expenses. Tenant will not be named as an additional insured in any insurance policies carried by Landlord and shall have no right to any proceeds therefrom. The policies purchased by Landlord shall contain such commercially reasonable deductibles as Landlord may determine. Tenant shall pay at Tenant’s sole expense any increase in the property insurance premiums for the Project over what was payable immediately prior to the increase to the extent the increase is specified by Landlord’s insurance carrier as being caused by the nature of Tenant’s occupancy or any act or omission of Tenant.

10.3     Insurance Policies. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of the insurance policies required under Section 10.1 concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease using an ACORD 28 form or a similar form approved by Landlord. Tenant’s insurance policies shall not be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals thereof. Tenant’s insurance policies shall be issued by insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Project is located, and said companies shall maintain during the policy term a “General Policyholder’s Rating” of at least A and a financial rating of at least “Class X” (or such other rating as may be required by any lender having a lien on the Project) as set forth in the most recent edition of “Best Insurance Reports.” All insurance obtained by Tenant shall be primary to and not contributory with any similar insurance carried by Landlord, whose insurance shall be considered excess insurance only. Landlord, Landlord’s property manager and lender(s) and their respective officers, shareholders, directors, partners, members, managers, employees, successors and assigns, shall be included as additional insureds under Tenant’s commercial general liability policy, the pollution liability policy and under the Tenant’s excess or umbrella policy, if any, using ISO additional insured endorsement CG 20 11 or a substitute providing equivalent coverage. Tenant’s insurance policies shall not include deductibles in excess of $10,000.

13.

10.4     Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord waives any and all rights of recovery against Tenant and Tenant’s employees and agents for or arising out of damage to, or destruction of, the Project to the extent that Landlord’s insurance policies then in force insure against such damage or destruction (or to the extent of what would have been covered had Landlord maintained the insurance required to be carried under this Lease) and permit such waiver. Tenant waives any and all rights of recovery against Landlord and Landlord’s employees and agents for or arising out of damage to, or destruction of, the Project to the extent that Tenant’s insurance policies then in force insure against such damage or destruction (or to the extent of what would have been covered had Tenant maintained the insurance required to be carried under this Lease) and permit such waiver. Tenant shall cause the insurance policies it obtains in accordance with Section 10.1 relating to property damage to provide that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by subrogation against Landlord in connection with any liability or damage covered by Tenant’s insurance policies.

10.5     Coverage. Landlord makes no representation to Tenant that the limits or forms of coverage specified above or approved by Landlord are adequate to insure Tenant’s property or Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, and the limits of any insurance carried by Tenant shall not limit Tenant’s obligations or liability under any indemnity provision included in this Lease or under any other provision of this Lease.

11.     Landlord’s Repairs. Landlord shall maintain at its sole cost and expense and not as part of Operating Expenses, the structural elements of the roof of the Building (excluding the roof membrane), the structural soundness of the foundation of the Building and the structural elements of the exterior walls of the Building, however, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of any maintenance, repair or replacement of the foregoing necessitated by Tenant’s misuse, negligence and alterations to the Premises or any breach of its obligations under this Lease. By way of example, and not limitation, the term “exterior walls” as used in the previous sentence shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, doors or overhead doors, special store fronts, dock bumpers, dock plates or levelers, or office entries. Provided that the costs it incurs in connection with the following shall be included in Operating Expenses, Landlord shall maintain, repair and replace the Building Systems, roof membrand, and Common Areas and any portion of the Building which is not Tenant’s responsibility under Section 12 below. Tenant shall immediately give Landlord written notice of any repair required by Landlord pursuant to this section, after which Landlord shall have a reasonable time in which to complete the repair. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to obligate Landlord to seal or otherwise maintain the surface of any foundation, floor or slab. Tenant expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in effect which would otherwise afford Tenant the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense or to terminate this Lease because of Landlord’s failure to keep the Premises in good order, condition and repair.

14.

12. Tenant’s Repairs.

12.1     Obligations of Tenant. Subject to Section 12.2 below, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep and maintain all parts of the Premises (except those listed as Landlord’s responsibility in Section 11 above) in good and sanitary condition, promptly making all necessary repairs and replacements, including but not limited to, windows, glass and plate glass, doors, walls and finish work, floors and floor coverings, heating and air conditioning systems solely serving the Premises, lights, plumbing work and fixtures inside the Premises, lighting bulbs, tenant signage and regular removal of trash and debris. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing prior to making any repair or performing any maintenance pursuant to this section, and Landlord shall have the right to designate the contractor Tenant shall use to make any repair or to perform any maintenance on the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems solely serving the Premises (“Premises HVAC”). Tenant shall not paint or otherwise change the exterior appearance of the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. The cost of maintenance and repair of any common party wall (any wall, divider, partition or any other structure separating the Premises from any adjacent premises occupied by other tenants) shall be shared equally by Tenant and the tenant occupying the adjacent premises; provided, however, if Tenant damages a party wall the entire cost of the repair shall be paid by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole expense. Tenant shall not damage any party wall or disturb the integrity and support provided by any party wall. If Tenant fails to keep the Premises in good condition and repair as required, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any necessary repairs. If Landlord makes such repairs, Landlord may bill Tenant for the cost of the repairs as additional rent, and said additional rent shall be payable by Tenant within ten (10) days after demand by Landlord.

12.2     Performance of Work by Landlord. Notwithstanding Tenant’s obligation to keep the Premises HVAC units of the Premises in good condition and repair, Landlord shall employ contractors to perform all repairs, maintenance and replacements of the Premises HVAC units. The items described in the previous sentence that Landlord will cause to be repaired, maintained and replaced are hereinafter referred to as the “Landlord Maintenance Items.” Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as additional rent for all costs Landlord incurs in performing the Landlord Maintenance Items within ten (10) days after written demand by Landlord. Landlord shall determine in its sole discretion the scope and timing of the performance of such Landlord Maintenance Items, and Tenant shall not perform such Landlord Maintenance Items; provided, however, Landlord will commence the necessary repair work as soon as commercially reasonable and diligently prosecute the repair cure to completion. Tenant shall prompt give Landlord written notice of any repair or maintenance required by Landlord pursuant to this section, after which Landlord shall have a reasonable time in which to complete such repair or maintenance.

The cost of the Maintenance Contracts shall be included in Operating Expenses and Tenant shall then pay Tenant’s Percentage Share of such costs as reasonably determined by Landlord.

15.

13. Alterations and Surrender.

13.1     Consent of Landlord. Tenant shall have the right, subject to Landlord’s reasonable requirements relating to construction at the Project, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord, to make alterations (“Permitted Alterations”) to the inside of the Premises (e.g., paint and carpet, communication systems, telephone and computer system wiring, installation of humidity control unit) that do not (i) involve the expenditure of more than $5,000,00, (ii) affect the exterior appearance of the Building or the roof, (iii) affect the Building’s electrical, plumbing, HVAC, life, fire safety or similar Building systems or the structural elements of the Building, (iv) affect the Common Areas or parking areas or (v) materially adversely affect any other tenant of the Project; provided, however, the installation of the humidity control unit shall not be subject to the limitation set forth in clause (i) above. Landlord hereby confirms that the humidity control unit shall remain the personal property of Tenant, may be removed by Tenant at any time and must be removed prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease unless otherwise notified in writing by Landlord, provided that Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal. Except with respect to Permitted Alterations, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, make any alterations, improvements, additions, utility installations or repairs (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Non-Permitted Alterations”) in, on or about the Premises or the Project. References in this Lease to “Alterations” shall mean both Permitted Alterations and Non-Permitted Alterations. At the expiration of the term Landlord may require the removal of any Alterations installed by Tenant and the restoration of the Premises and the Project to their prior condition, at Tenant’s expense. . Tenant may request a determination from Landlord whether or not Landlord will require removal and restoration of any Alteration by delivering written notice of such request to Landlord. If requested, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing within fifteen (15) business days whether or not Landlord will require removal and restoration of some or all of such Alteration. Landlord's failure to timely notify Tenant shall be deemed Landlord's election to require removal and restoration of all of such Alteration. If, as a result of any Alteration made by Tenant, Landlord is obligated to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act or any other law or regulation, and such compliance requires Landlord to make any improvement or Alteration to any portion of the Project, as a condition to Landlord’s consent, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to pay to Landlord prior to the construction of any Alteration by Tenant the entire cost of any improvement or alteration Landlord is obligated to complete by such law or regulation. Should Landlord permit Tenant to make its own Alterations, Tenant shall use only such architect and contractor as has been expressly approved by Landlord, and Landlord may require Tenant to provide to Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost of such Alterations (if the projected cost thereof exceeds $150,000), to insure Landlord against any liability for mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens and to insure completion of the work. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee equal to one percent (1%) of the cost of the Alterations to compensate Landlord for the overhead and other costs it incurs in reviewing the plans for the Alterations and in monitoring the construction of the Alterations (the “Landlord Fee”). If Landlord incurs architectural, engineering or other consultant’s fees in evaluating such Alterations, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for these fees in addition to the Landlord Fee. If Tenant proposes Alterations to Landlord but subsequently elects not to construct the Alterations, and Landlord has incurred costs in reviewing Tenant’s proposed Alterations (e.g., architect’s, engineer’s or property management fees), Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the costs incurred by Landlord within ten (10) days after written demand. Should Tenant make any Alterations without the prior approval of Landlord, or use a contractor not expressly approved by Landlord, Landlord may, at any time during the term of this Lease, require that Tenant remove all or part of the Alterations and return the Premises to the condition it was in prior to the making of the Alterations. In the event Tenant makes any Alterations, Tenant agrees to obtain or cause its contractor to obtain, prior to the commencement of any work, “builders all risk” insurance in an amount approved by Landlord, workers compensation insurance and any other insurance requested by Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion. If any Alterations may impact Building systems, the roof (including roof membrane) and/or the Building structure, Landlord may elect to perform the portion of such Alterations which impacts the Building systems, the roof (including roof membrane) and/or the Building structure, at Tenant’s cost and expense, pursuant to such terms and conditions as Landlord may designate in its commercially reasonable discretion at such time.

16.

13.2     Permits. Any Alterations in or about the Premises that Tenant shall desire to make shall be presented to Landlord in written form, with plans and specifications which are sufficiently detailed to obtain a building permit, if a building permit is required. If Landlord consents to an Alteration and the Alteration requires a building permit, the consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Tenant acquiring a building permit from the applicable governmental agencies, furnishing a copy thereof to Landlord prior to the commencement of the work, and compliance by Tenant with all conditions of said permit in a prompt and expeditious manner. Tenant shall provide Landlord with as-built plans and specifications for any Alterations made to the Premises.

13.3     Mechanics Liens. Tenant shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Tenant at or for use in the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien against the Premises or the Project, or any interest therein. If Tenant shall, in good faith, contest the validity of any such lien, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a surety bond satisfactory to Landlord in an amount equal to not less than one and one-half times the amount of such contested lien claim indemnifying Landlord against liability arising out of such lien or claim. Such bond shall be sufficient in form and amount to free the Project from the effect of such lien. In addition, Landlord may require Tenant to pay Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred as a result of any such lien.

13.4     Notice. Tenant shall give Landlord not less than ten (10) days’ advance written notice prior to the commencement of any work in the Premises by Tenant, and Landlord shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises or the Project.

13.5     Surrender. Subject to Landlord’s right to require removal or to elect ownership as hereinafter provided, all Alterations made by Tenant to the Premises shall be the property of Tenant, but shall be considered to be a part of the Premises. Unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of its election not to become the owner of the Alterations at the end of the term of this Lease, the Alterations shall become the property of Landlord at the end of the term of this Lease. Landlord may require, on notice to Tenant, that some or all Alterations be removed at the end or earlier termination of the term of this Lease and that any damages caused by such removal be repaired at Tenant’s sole expense. On the last day of the term hereof, or on any sooner termination, Tenant shall surrender the Premises (including any portion for which Tenant has maintenance and repair responsibility under this Lease) (collectively the “Elements of the Premises”) to Landlord in as good a condition as when received, ordinary wear and tear and casualty damage excepted, clean and free of debris and Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures and equipment and with any Alterations which Landlord has elected to have Tenant remove removed. Unless notified otherwise in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, remove all computer wiring and cabling serving the Premises. Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises occasioned by the installation or removal of Tenant’s trade fixtures, furnishings and equipment. Damage to or deterioration of any Element of the Premises or any other item Tenant is required to repair or maintain at the Premises shall not be deemed ordinary wear and tear if the same could have been prevented by good maintenance practices. If the Premises are not surrendered at the expiration of the term or earlier termination of this Lease in accordance with the provisions of this section, at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall continue to be responsible for the payment of Base Rent and all other amounts due under this Lease until the Premises are so surrendered in accordance with said provisions. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all damages, expenses, costs, losses or liabilities arising from any delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises including, without limitation, any damages, expenses, costs, losses or liabilities arising from any claim against Landlord made by any succeeding tenant or prospective tenant founded on or resulting from such delay and losses and damages suffered by Landlord due to lost opportunities to lease any portion of the Premises to any such succeeding tenant or prospective tenant, together with, in each case, actual attorneys’ fees and costs. Landlord hereby expressly consents to Tenant’s removal of any humidity control unit installed by Tenant in the Premises.

13.6     Failure of Tenant to Remove Property. If this Lease is terminated due to the expiration of its term or otherwise, and Tenant fails to remove its property, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, and subject to any other right or remedy Landlord may have under applicable Legal Requirements, Landlord may remove any property of Tenant from the Premises and store the same elsewhere at the expense and risk of Tenant.

17.

14. Damage and Destruction.

14.1     Effect of Damage or Destruction. If all or part of the Project is damaged by fire, earthquake, flood, explosion, the elements, riot, the release or existence of Hazardous Materials (as defined below) or by any other cause whatsoever (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Damages”), but the Damages are not material (as defined in Section 14.2 below), Landlord shall repair the Damages to the Project as soon as is reasonably possible, and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If all or part of the Project is destroyed or materially damaged (as defined in Section 14.2 below), Landlord shall have the right, in its sole and complete discretion, to repair or to rebuild the Project or to terminate this Lease. Landlord shall within sixty (60) days after the discovery of such material damage or destruction notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s intention to repair or to rebuild or to terminate this Lease. Tenant shall in no event be entitled to compensation or damages on account of annoyance or inconvenience in making any repairs, or on account of construction, or on account of Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord shall elect to rebuild or repair the Project after material damage or destruction, but in good faith determines that the Premises cannot be substantially repaired within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of the discovery of the material damage or destruction, without payment of overtime or other premiums, and the damage to the Project will render the entire Premises unusable during said two hundred seventy (270) day period, Landlord shall notify Tenant thereof in writing at the time of Landlord’s election to rebuild or repair, and Tenant shall thereafter have a period of fifteen (15) days within which Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease, upon thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Landlord. Tenant’s termination right described in the preceding sentence shall not apply if the damage was caused by the negligent or intentional acts of Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors or invitees. Failure of Tenant to exercise said election within said fifteen (15) day period shall constitute Tenant’s agreement to accept delivery of the Premises under this Lease whenever tendered by Landlord, provided Landlord thereafter pursues reconstruction or restoration diligently to completion, subject to delays caused by Force Majeure Events (not to exceed thirty (30) days). If Landlord is unable to repair the damage to the Premises or the Project during such two hundred seventy (270) day period due to Force Majeure Events, the two hundred seventy (270) day period shall be extended by the period of delay caused by the Force Majeure Events, (not to exceed thirty (30) days). Subject to Section 14.3 below, if Landlord or Tenant terminates this Lease in accordance with this Section 14.1, Tenant shall continue to pay all Base Rent, Operating Expenses and other amounts due hereunder which arise prior to the date of termination.

14.2     Definition of Material Damage. Damage to the Project shall be deemed material if, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the uninsured cost of repairing the damage will exceed $50,000. If insurance proceeds are available to Landlord in an amount which is sufficient to pay the entire cost of repairing all of the damage to the Project, the damage shall be deemed material if the cost of repairing the damage exceeds $200,000. Damage to the Project shall also be deemed material if (a) the Project cannot be rebuilt or repaired to substantially the same condition it was in prior to the damage due to laws or regulations in effect at the time the repairs will be made, (b) the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Project requires that insurance proceeds available to repair the damage in excess of $50,000 be applied to the repayment of the indebtedness secured by the mortgage or the deed of trust, or (c) the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease term.

14.3     Abatement of Rent. In the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, for five (5) consecutive business days (the “Eligibility Period”) as a result of damage to the Premises, and the damage was not caused by the negligence or intentional acts of Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors or invitees, then Tenant’s Base Rent, Monthly Operating Expense Payment and Tenant’s Percentage Share of Real Property Taxes and Insurance Costs shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of the Premises.

18.

14.4     Tenant’s Acts. If such damage or destruction occurs as a result of the negligence or the intentional acts of Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors or invitees, and the proceeds of insurance which are actually received by Landlord are not sufficient to pay for the repair of all of the damage, Tenant shall pay, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to Landlord upon demand, the difference between the cost of repairing the damage and the insurance proceeds received by Landlord.

14.5     Tenant’s Property. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, invitees or customers for loss or damage to merchandise, tenant improvements, fixtures, automobiles, furniture, equipment, computers, files or other property (hereinafter collectively “Tenant’s property”) located at the Project. Tenant shall repair or replace all of Tenant’s property at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant acknowledges that it is Tenant’s sole responsibility to obtain adequate insurance coverage to compensate Tenant for damage to Tenant’s property.

14.6     Waiver. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive the provisions of any present or future statutes which relate to the termination of leases when leased property is damaged or destroyed and agree that such event shall be governed by the terms of this Lease.

15.     Condemnation. If any portion of the Premises or the Project are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power (all of which are herein called “condemnation”), this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs; provided that if so much of the Premises or Project are taken by such condemnation as would substantially and adversely affect the operation and profitability of Tenant’s business conducted from the Premises, and said taking lasts for ninety (90) days or more, Tenant shall have the option, to be exercised only in writing within thirty (30) days after Landlord shall have given Tenant written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within thirty (30) days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession), to terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such possession. If a taking lasts for less than ninety (90) days, Tenant’s rent shall be abated during said period but Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease. If Tenant 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 the proportion that the usable floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total usable floor area of the Premises. Common Areas taken shall be excluded from the Common Areas usable by Tenant and no reduction of rent shall occur with respect thereto or by reason thereof. Landlord shall have the option in its sole discretion to terminate this Lease as of the taking of possession by the condemning authority, by giving written notice to Tenant of such election within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of a taking by condemnation of any part of the Premises or the Project. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises or the Project under the power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the property of Landlord, whether such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold, for good will, for the taking of the fee, as severance damages, or as damages for tenant improvements; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to any separate award for loss of or damage to Tenant’s removable personal property and for moving expenses. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, and subject to the requirements of any lender that has made a loan to Landlord encumbering the Project, Landlord shall to the extent of severance damages received by Landlord in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to the Project caused by such condemnation except to the extent that Tenant has been reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority. This section, not general principles of law or California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1230.010 et seq., shall govern the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the condemnation of all or any portion of the Project.

19.

16. Assignment and Subletting.

16.1     Landlord’s Consent Required. Except in connection with a Permitted Transfer (defined in the Addendum) Tenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, hypothecate, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any part of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises (hereinafter collectively a “Transfer”), without Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s written request for consent hereunder within fifteen (15) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the written request from Tenant. Any attempted Transfer other than a Permitted Transfer, without such consent shall be void and shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease. Tenant’s written request for Landlord’s consent shall include, and Landlord’s fifteen (15) business day response period referred to above shall not commence, unless and until Landlord has received from Tenant, all of the following information: (a) financial statements for the proposed assignee or subtenant prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the lesser of (i) the past three (3) years or (ii) the time period the assignee or subtenant has been in existence, (b) federal tax returns for the proposed assignee or subtenant for the lesser of (i) the past three (3) years or (ii) the time period the assignee or subtenant has been in existence, (c) a credit report or similar report on the proposed assignee or subtenant, (d) a detailed description of the business the assignee or subtenant intends to operate at the Premises, (e) the proposed effective date of the assignment or sublease, (f) a copy of the proposed sublease or assignment agreement which includes all of the terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or sublease, (g) a detailed description of any ownership or commercial relationship between Tenant and the proposed assignee or subtenant, (h) a detailed description of any Alterations the proposed assignee or subtenant desires to make to the Premises, and (i) a Hazardous Materials Disclosure Certificate in form requested by Landlord (the “Transferee HazMat Certificate”). If the obligations of the proposed assignee or subtenant will be guaranteed by any person or entity, Tenant’s written request shall not be considered complete until the information described in (a), (b) and (c) of the previous sentence has been provided with respect to each proposed guarantor. Except in connection with a Permitted Transfer, the term “Transfer” shall also include the transfer (a) if Tenant is a corporation, and Tenant’s stock is not publicly traded over a recognized securities exchange, of more than twenty five percent (25%) of the voting stock of such corporation during the term of this Lease (whether or not in one or more transfers) or the dissolution, merger or liquidation of the corporation, or (b) if Tenant is a partnership, limited liability company, limited liability partnership or other entity, of more than twenty five percent (25%) of the profit and loss participation in such partnership or entity during the term of this Lease (whether or not in one or more transfers) or the dissolution, merger or liquidation of the partnership, limited liability company, limited liability partnership or other entity. If Tenant is a limited or general partnership (or is comprised of two or more persons, individually or as co-partners), Tenant shall not be entitled to change or convert to (i) a limited liability company, (ii) a limited liability partnership or (iii) any other entity which possesses the characteristics of limited liability without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant’s sole remedy in the event that Landlord shall wrongfully withhold consent to or disapprove any assignment or sublease shall be to obtain an order by a court of competent jurisdiction that Landlord grant such consent; in no event shall Landlord be liable for damages with respect to its granting or withholding consent to any proposed assignment or sublease. If Landlord shall exercise any option to recapture the Premises, or shall deny a request for consent to a proposed assignment or sublease, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and claims that may be made against Landlord by the proposed assignee or subtenant, or by any brokers or other persons claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease.

20.

16.2     Standard for Approval. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to a Transfer provided that Tenant has complied with each and every requirement, term and condition of this Section 16. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that each requirement, term and condition in this Section 16 is a reasonable requirement, term or condition. It shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to a Transfer if any requirement, term or condition of this Section 16 is not complied with or: (a) the Transfer would cause Landlord to be in violation of its obligations under another lease or agreement to which Landlord is a party; (b) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, a proposed assignee or subtenant has a smaller net worth than Tenant had on the date this Lease was entered into with Tenant or is less able financially to pay the rents due under this Lease as and when they are due and payable; (c) a proposed assignee’s or subtenant’s business will impose a burden on the Project’s parking facilities, Common Areas or utilities that is greater than the burden imposed by Tenant, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment; (d) the terms of a proposed assignment or subletting will allow the proposed assignee or subtenant to exercise a right of renewal, right of expansion, right of first offer, right of first refusal or similar right held by Tenant; (e) a proposed assignee or subtenant refuses to enter into a written assignment agreement or sublease, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, which provides that it will abide by and assume (if an assignment) all of the terms and conditions of this Lease for the term of any assignment or sublease and containing such other terms and conditions as Landlord reasonably deems necessary; (f) the use of the Premises by the proposed assignee or subtenant will be a use not permitted by this Lease; (g) any guarantor of this Lease refuses to consent to the Transfer or to execute a written agreement reaffirming the guaranty; (h) Tenant is in default as defined in Section 17 at the time of the request; (i) if requested by Landlord, the assignee or subtenant refuses to sign a non-disturbance and attornment agreement in favor of Landlord’s lender; (j) Landlord has sued or been sued by the proposed assignee or subtenant or has otherwise been involved in a legal dispute with the proposed assignee or subtenant; (k) the assignee or subtenant is involved in a business which is not in keeping with the then-current standards of the Project; (l) the proposed assignee or subtenant is an existing tenant of the Project or is a person or entity then negotiating with Landlord for the lease of space in the Project; (m) the assignment or sublease will result in there being more than one subtenant of the Premises; (n) the assignee or subtenant is a governmental or quasi-governmental entity or an agency, department or instrumentality of a governmental or quasi-governmental agency; (o) the assignee or subtenant will use, store or handle Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises of a type, nature, quantity materially different than those used by Tenant and not acceptable to Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion or (p) the assignee or subtenant is a person or entity to whom Landlord has agreed not to lease space in the Project pursuant to a lease with another tenant.

16.3     Additional Terms and Conditions. The following terms and conditions shall be applicable to any Transfer:

(a)     Regardless of Landlord’s consent, no Transfer shall release Tenant from Tenant’s obligations hereunder or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rent and other sums due Landlord hereunder and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder or release any guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty.

(b)     Landlord may accept rent from any person other than Tenant pending approval or disapproval of an assignment or subletting.

(c)     Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of a Transfer, nor the acceptance of rent, shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of Landlord’s right to exercise its rights and remedies for the breach of any of the terms or conditions of this Section 16.

(d)     The consent by Landlord to any Transfer shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent Transfer by Tenant or to any subsequent or successive Transfer by an assignee or subtenant. However, Landlord may consent to subsequent Transfers or any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Tenant or anyone else liable on the Lease and without obtaining their consent, and such action shall not relieve such persons from liability under this Lease.

21.

(e)     In the event of any default under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant, any guarantors or anyone else responsible for the performance of this Lease, including any subtenant or assignee, without first exhausting Landlord’s remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to Landlord, or any security held by Landlord.

(f)     Landlord’s written consent to any Transfer by Tenant shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no default then exists under this Lease nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then-existing default.

(g)     The discovery of the fact that any financial statement relied upon by Landlord in giving its consent to an assignment or subletting was materially false shall, at Landlord’s election, render Landlord’s consent null and void.

(h)     Landlord shall not be liable under this Lease or under any sublease to any subtenant.

(i)     No assignment or sublease may be modified or amended without Landlord’s prior written consent.

(j)     Any assignee of, or subtenant under, this Lease shall, by reason of accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed, for the benefit of Landlord, 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 Tenant during the term of said assignment or sublease, other than such obligations as are contrary or inconsistent with provisions of an assignment or sublease to which Landlord has specifically consented in writing.

(k)     At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, Landlord’s reasonable standard consent to assignment or consent to sublease agreement, as applicable, executed by Tenant, the assignee and the subtenant, as applicable.

16.4     Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting. The following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Tenant 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)     Tenant hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Landlord all of Tenant’s interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease entered into by Tenant, and Landlord may collect such rent and income and apply same toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until a default shall occur in the performance of Tenant’s obligations which remains uncured after expiration of the applicable cure period under this Lease, Tenant may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under such sublease. Landlord shall not, by reason of this or any other assignment of such rents to Landlord nor by reason of the collection of the rents from a subtenant, be deemed to have assumed or recognized any sublease or to be liable to the subtenant for any failure of Tenant to perform and comply with any of Tenant’s obligations to such subtenant under such sublease, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s obligation to return any security deposit. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such subtenant, upon receipt of a written notice from Landlord stating that a default exists in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, to pay to Landlord the rents due as they become due under the sublease. Tenant agrees that such subtenant shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and request from Landlord, and that such subtenant shall pay such rents to Landlord without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists and notwithstanding any notice or claim from Tenant to the contrary.

(b)     In the event Tenant shall default in the performance of its obligations and fail to cure such default within the applicable cure period under this Lease, Landlord, at its option and without any obligation to do so, may require any subtenant to attorn to Landlord, in which event Landlord shall undertake the obligations of Tenant under such sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to the termination of such sublease; provided, however, Landlord shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit paid by such subtenant to Tenant or for any other prior defaults of Tenant under such sublease.

22.

16.5     Transfer Premium from Assignment or Subletting. Landlord shall be entitled to receive from Tenant (as and when received by Tenant), as an item of additional rent, one-half of all amounts received by Tenant from the subtenant or assignee (including all Base Rent, additional rent or other consideration of any type whatsoever payable by the assignee or subtenant) in excess of the Base Rent and additional rent payable by Tenant under this Lease after deduction of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such Transfer for brokerage commission, legal fees, improvement costs and amounts paid to Landlord in connection with a request for consent (the “Transfer Premium”). If less than all of the Premises is subleased, for purposes of calculating the Transfer Premium, the Base Rent and the additional rent due under this Lease shall be allocated to the subleased premises on a per-leasable-square-foot basis (e.g., if one-half of the Premises is subleased, for purposes of determining the amount of the Transfer Premium, one-half of the Base Rent and additional rent due under this Lease would be allocated to the subleased premises, and this amount would be subtracted from the base rent, additional rent and other monies payable to Tenant under the sublease). The term “Transfer Premium” shall also include, but not be limited to, key money and bonus money paid by the assignee or subtenant to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair-market value (i) for services rendered by Tenant to the assignee or subtenant or (ii) for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment or furniture transferred by Tenant to the assignee or subtenant in connection with such Transfer. Landlord and Tenant agree that the foregoing Transfer Premium is reasonable.

16.6     Landlord’s Option to Recapture Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 16, except in connection with a Permitted Transfer, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after receipt of any request by Tenant to assign this Lease or to sublease space in the Premises, to terminate this Lease with respect to said space as of the proposed effective date of the proposed assignment or sublease. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Base Rent, Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses and the number of parking spaces Tenant may use shall be adjusted on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the original Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of same. If Landlord recaptures only a portion of the Premises, it shall construct and erect at its sole cost such partitions as may be required to sever the space to be retained by Tenant from the space recaptured by Landlord. Landlord may, at its option, lease any recaptured portion of the Premises to the proposed subtenant or assignee or to any other person or entity without liability to Tenant. Tenant shall not be entitled to any portion of the profit, if any, Landlord may realize on account of such termination and reletting. Tenant acknowledges that the purpose of this section is to enable Landlord to receive profit in the form of higher rent or other consideration to be received from an assignee or subtenant, to give Landlord the ability to meet additional space requirements of other tenants of the Project and to permit Landlord to control the leasing of space in the Project. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the requirements of this section are commercially reasonable and are consistent with the intentions of Landlord and Tenant.

23.

16.7     Landlord’s Expenses. In the event Tenant shall assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or request the consent of Landlord to any Transfer, then Tenant shall pay (a) $1,500 to Landlord to compensate Landlord for its internal administrative costs in processing the request plus (b) Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, attorneys’, architects’, accountants’, engineers’ or other consultants’ fees.

17. Default; Remedies.

17.1     Default by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the occurrence of any one or more of the following events is a default by Tenant under this Lease and that said default shall give Landlord the rights described in Section 17.2. Landlord or Landlord’s authorized agent shall have the right to execute and to deliver any notice of default, notice to pay rent or quit or any other notice Landlord gives Tenant.

(a)     Tenant’s failure to make any payment of Base Rent, Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due, where such failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant. In the event that Landlord serves Tenant with a notice to pay rent or quit pursuant to applicable unlawful detainer statutes, such notice shall also constitute the notice required by this Section 17.1(a).

(b)     The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant coupled with the nonpayment of rent, in which event Landlord shall not be obligated to give any notice of default to Tenant.

(c)     The failure of Tenant to comply with any of its obligations under Sections 10, 16, 19, 23, 25, 27 and 28 where Tenant fails to comply with its obligations or fails to cure any earlier breach of such obligation within ten (10) days following written notice from Landlord to Tenant. In the event Landlord serves Tenant with a notice to quit or any other notice pursuant to applicable unlawful detainer statutes, said notice shall also constitute the notice required by this Section 17.1(c).

(d)     The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant (other than those referenced in Sections 17.1(a), (b) and (c), above), where such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s nonperformance is such that more than ten (10) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure within said ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion. In the event that Landlord serves Tenant with a notice to quit or any other notice pursuant to applicable unlawful detainer statutes, said notice shall also constitute the notice required by this Section 17.1(d).

(e)     (i) The making by Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder of any general arrangement or general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Tenant or any guarantor becoming a “debtor” as defined in 11 U.S.C. 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant or guarantor, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; or (v) the insolvency of Tenant. In the event that any provision of this Section 17.1(e) is unenforceable under applicable Legal Requirements, such provision shall be of no force or effect.

(f)     The discovery by Landlord that any financial statement, representation or warranty given to Landlord by Tenant, or by any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, was materially false at the time given. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has entered into this Lease in material reliance on such information.

24.

(g)     If Tenant is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or similar entity, the dissolution or liquidation of Tenant (except in connection with a Permitted Transfer).

(h)     If Tenant’s obligations under this Lease are 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, (v) a guarantor’s breach of its guaranty obligation on an anticipatory breach basis or (vi) if the guarantor is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, the dissolution of the guarantor or the termination of the guarantor’s existence.

17.2     Remedies.

(a)     In the event of any default or breach of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand, and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such default:

(i)     terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. If Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant (A) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (B) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (C) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; and (D) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under the Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of releasing, including necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys’ fees, any real estate commissions actually paid by Landlord and the unamortized value of any free rent, reduced rent, tenant improvement allowance or other economic concessions provided by Landlord. The “worth at time of award” of the amounts referred to in Section 17.2(a)(i)(A) and (B) shall be computed by allowing interest at the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in Section 17.2(a)(i)(C) shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). For purposes of this Section 17.2(a)(i), “rent” shall be deemed to be all monetary obligations required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

(ii)     maintain Tenant’s right of possession, in which event Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 which permits Landlord to continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due. In the event Landlord elects to continue this Lease in effect, Tenant shall have the right to sublet the Premises or assign Tenant’s interest in the Lease subject to the reasonable requirements contained in Section 16 of this Lease and provided further that Landlord shall not require compliance with any standard or condition contained in Section 16 that has become unreasonable at the time Tenant seeks to sublet or assign the Premises pursuant to this Section 17.2(a)(ii).

25.

(iii)     collect sublease rents (or appoint a receiver to collect such rent) and otherwise perform Tenant’s obligations at the Premises, it being agreed, however, that the appointment of a receiver for Tenant shall not constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease.

(iv)     pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the laws or judicial decisions of the state in which the Premises are located.

(b)     No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive, but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity. The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises shall not relieve Tenant of liability under any indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during the term of the Lease or by reason of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises.

(c)     If Tenant abandons the Premises, Landlord may re-enter the Premises, and such re-entry shall not be deemed to constitute Landlord’s election to accept a surrender of the Premises or to otherwise relieve Tenant from liability for its breach of this Lease. No surrender of the Premises shall be effective against Landlord unless Landlord has entered into a written agreement with Tenant in which Landlord expressly agrees to (i) accept a surrender of the Premises and (ii) relieve Tenant of liability under the Lease. The delivery by Tenant to Landlord of possession of the Premises shall not constitute the termination of the Lease or the surrender of the Premises.

17.3     Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Project whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its cure, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion. In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of Landlord’s default, and Tenant’s remedies shall be limited to damages and/or an injunction. Tenant hereby waives its right to recover consequential damages (including, but not limited to, lost profits) or punitive damages arising out of a Landlord default. This Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall not be affected or impaired because Landlord is unable to fulfill any of its obligations hereunder or is delayed in doing so, if such inability or delay is caused by reason of a Force Majeure Event, and the time for Landlord’s performance shall be extended for the period of any such delay. Any claim, demand, right or defense by Tenant that arises out of this Lease or the negotiations which preceded this Lease shall be barred unless Tenant commences an action thereon, or interposes a defense by reason thereof, within one (1) year after the date on which Tenant becomes aware of the inaction, omission, event or action that gave rise to such claim, demand, right or defense.

17.4     Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Base Rent, Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed encumbering the Project. Accordingly, if any installment of Base Rent, Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord when such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice or demand to Tenant, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder, including the assessment of interest under Section 17.5.

26.

17.5     Interest on Past-Due Obligations. Except as expressly herein provided, any amount due to Landlord that is not paid when due shall bear interest at the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease; provided, however, that interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Tenant nor on any amounts upon which late charges are paid by Tenant.

17.6     Payment of Rent and Security Deposit after Default. If Tenant fails to pay Base Rent, Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses, parking charges or any other monetary obligation due hereunder on the date it is due, and such failure is not cured within the applicable three (3) day cure period, after Tenant’s third failure to pay any monetary obligation on the date it is due, at Landlord’s option, all monetary obligations of Tenant hereunder shall thereafter be paid by cashier’s check, and Tenant shall, upon demand, provide Landlord with an additional security deposit equal to three (3) multiplied by the monthly Base Rent due on the date of Landlord’s demand. If Landlord has required Tenant to make said payments by cashier’s check or to provide an additional security deposit, Tenant’s failure to make a payment by cashier’s check or to provide the additional security deposit shall be a default hereunder.

18.     Landlord’s Right to Cure Default; Payments by Tenant. All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any reduction of rent, except as expressly set forth in this Lease. If Tenant shall fail to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, after three (3) business days’ prior written notice to Tenant, make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant’s behalf without waiving its rights based upon any default of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligations hereunder. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefore, an amount equal to the expenditures reasonably made by Landlord in connection with the remedying by Landlord of Tenant’s defaults pursuant to the provisions of this section.

19.     Indemnity. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord and its employees, partners, agents, property managers, contractors, lenders and ground lessors (said persons and entities are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Indemnified Parties” or “Landlord Parties”) from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, claims, loss of rents, liens, judgments, penalties, fines, settlement costs, investigation costs, cost of consultants and experts, attorney’s fees, court costs and other legal expenses, effects of environmental contamination caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party, cost of environmental testing, removal, remediation and/or abatement of Tenant’s Hazardous Materials (as said term are defined below), commercially reasonable insurance policy deductibles and other expenses (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Damages”) arising out of or related to an Indemnified Matter (as defined below). For purposes of this section, an “Indemnified Matter” shall mean any matter for which one or more of the Indemnified Parties incurs liability or Damages if the liability or Damages arise out of or involve, directly or indirectly, (a) Tenant and/or any agents, employees, contractors, vendors, suppliers, licensees, subtenants, and invitees of Tenant (Tenant and all of said persons or entities are hereinafter individually referred to as a “Tenant Party” and collectively referred to as “Tenant Parties”) use or occupancy of the Premises or the Project, (b) any act, omission or neglect of a Tenant Party, (c) Tenant’s failure to perform any of its obligations under the Lease, (d) the existence, use or disposal of any Hazardous Materials (as defined below) brought on to the project by a Tenant Party (“Tenant’s Hazardous Material”) or (e) any other matters for which Tenant has agreed to indemnify Landlord pursuant to any other provision of this Lease. Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall include, but shall not be limited to (f) compensating the Indemnified Parties for Damages arising out of Indemnified Matters within ten (10) days after written demand from an Indemnified Party and (g) providing a defense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at Tenant’s sole expense, within ten (10) days after written demand from the Indemnified Party, of any claims, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to an Indemnified Matter whether or not litigated or reduced to judgment and whether or not well founded. If Tenant is obligated to compensate an Indemnified Party for Damages arising out of an Indemnified Matter, Landlord shall have the immediate and unconditional right, but not the obligation, without notice or demand to Tenant, to pay the damages, and Tenant shall, upon ten (10) days’ advance written notice from Landlord, reimburse Landlord for the costs incurred by Landlord. By way of example, and not limitation, Landlord shall have the immediate and unconditional right to cause any damages to the Common Areas, another tenant’s premises or to any other part of the Project to be repaired and to compensate other tenants of the Project or other persons or entities for Damages arising out of an Indemnified Matter. The Indemnified Parties need not first pay any Damages to be indemnified hereunder. Tenant’s obligations under this section shall not be released, reduced or otherwise limited because one or more of the Indemnified Parties are or may be actively or passively negligent with respect to an Indemnified Matter or because an Indemnified Party is or was partially responsible for the Damages incurred. This indemnity is intended to apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. Tenant’s obligations under this section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease unless specifically waived in writing by Landlord after said expiration or termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section, Tenant shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party from liability to the extent such liability arises out of any Indemnified Party’s negligence, willful misconduct or Landlord’s breach of this Lease.

20.     Exemption of Landlord from Liability. Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord and its property manager and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (collectively, “Landlord Parties”) shall not be liable for injury to Tenant’s business or any loss of income therefrom or for loss of or damage to the merchandise, tenant improvements, fixtures, furniture, equipment, computers, files, automobiles, or other property of Tenant, Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors or invitees, or any other person in or about the Project, nor shall Landlord Parties be liable for injury to the person of Tenant, Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors or invitees, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from any cause whatsoever including, but not limited to, theft, criminal activity at the Project, negligent security measures, bombings or bomb scares, acts of terrorism, Hazardous Substances, fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, flooding, breakage of pipes, sprinklers, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the Project, or from other sources or places, or from new construction or the repair, alteration or improvement of any part of the Project, except to the extent caused by Landlord’s breach of this Lease or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Landlord Party. Landlord Parties shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any employees, agents, contractors or invitees of any other tenant, occupant or user of the Project, nor from the failure of Landlord Parties to enforce the provisions of the lease of any other tenant of the Project. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord hereunder, hereby assumes all risk of damage to Tenant’s business arising from any cause, including the active or passive negligence of Landlord Parties, and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord Parties.

21.     Landlord’s Liability. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have the right to transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Project and to assign this Lease to the transferee. Tenant agrees that in the event of such a transfer Landlord shall automatically be released from all liability accruing under this Lease after the date of such transfer; and Tenant hereby agrees to look solely to Landlord’s transferee for the performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder after the date of the transfer. Upon such a transfer, Landlord shall, at its option, return Tenant’s security deposit to Tenant or transfer Tenant’s security deposit to Landlord’s transferee and, in either event, Landlord shall have no further liability to Tenant for the return of its security deposit. Subject to the rights of any lender holding a mortgage or deed of trust encumbering all or part of the Project, Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s equity interest in the Project for the collection of any judgment requiring the payment of money by Landlord arising out of (a) Landlord’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or (b) the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its partners, employees and agents. No other property or assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of any judgment or writ obtained by Tenant against Landlord. No partner, employee or agent of Landlord shall be personally liable for the performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder or be named as a party in any lawsuit arising out of or related to, directly or indirectly, this Lease and the obligations of Landlord hereunder. The obligations under this Lease do not constitute personal obligations of the individual partners of Landlord, if any, and Tenant shall not seek recourse against the individual partners of Landlord or their assets.

Tenant’s parking rights are in common with the parking rights of any other tenants of the Project, and all of Tenant’s parking spaces are unreserved parking spaces. Landlord reserves the right at any time to designate areas in the Common Areas where Tenant may or may not park. If Tenant commits or allows in the parking lot any of the activities prohibited by the Lease or the Rules, then Landlord shall have the right, without notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove or tow away the vehicle involved and charge the cost to Tenant, which cost shall be immediately payable by Tenant upon demand by Landlord. Tenant’s parking rights are the personal rights of Tenant, and Tenant shall not transfer, assign or otherwise convey its parking rights separate and apart from this Lease. All parking spaces may only be used for parking vehicles no larger than full-size passenger automobiles or pick-up trucks. Landlord, in addition to its other remedies, shall have the right to remove or tow away any other vehicles. Landlord shall not be responsible for enforcing Tenant’s parking rights against any third parties.

If Landlord, Tenant or any governmental or quasigovernmental authority discovers any Release from the Premises during the Term by a Tenant Party that, in Landlord’s reasonable determination, jeopardizes the ability of the Building or the Project to meet applicable Legal Requirements or otherwise adversely affects the Building’s or the Project’s compliance with applicable discharge or emission standards, or if Landlord discovers any other breach of Tenant’s obligations under this Section, then upon receipt of written notice from Landlord or at such earlier time as Tenant obtains actual knowledge of the applicable discharge, emission or breach, Tenant at its sole expense shall immediately (x) in the case of a Release, cease the applicable discharge or emission and remediate any continuing effects of the discharge or emission until such time, if any, as Tenant demonstrates to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that the applicable discharge or emission is in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and any other applicable regulatory commitments and obligations, and (y) in the case of any breach of Tenant’s obligations under this Section, take such corrective measures as Landlord may request in writing in order to cure or eliminate the breach as promptly as practicable and to remediate any continuing effects of the breach.

27.12     End of Term Study. If Tenant or any Tenant Party Handles any Hazardous Materials in, on or about the Premises or the Project during the term of this Lease, then prior to the termination or expiration of this Lease, Tenant at its sole cost and expense shall obtain and deliver to Landlord an environmental study, performed by an expert reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, evaluating, the presence or absence of any Tenant Contamination in violation of Hazardous Materials Laws in, on and about the Premises and the Project. Such study shall be based on a reasonable and prudent level of tests and investigations of the Premises and surrounding portions of the Project (if appropriate). Liability for any remedial actions required or recommended on the basis of such study shall be allocated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Lease. To the extent any such remedial actions are the responsibility of Tenant, Tenant at its sole expense shall promptly commence and diligently pursue to completion the required remedial actions.

27.13     Emergency Response Plans. If Landlord in its reasonable discretion adopts any emergency response plan and/or any Contingency Plan and Emergency Procedures for the Building or for multiple Buildings on the Project, Landlord shall provide copies of any such plans and procedures to Tenant and, so long as such plans and procedures are reasonable and do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises for the purpose described in Section 1.8 or access to the Premises or materially increase the cost incurred by Tenant at the Premises, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all of the requirements of such plans and procedures to the extent applicable to Tenant and/or the Premises. Landlord alone shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, the appropriate scope of such plans consultation and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to give Tenant any right of approval or disapproval over Landlord’s adoption or modification of any such plans or procedures.

27.14     Radioactive Materials. Without limiting any other applicable provisions of this Section, if Tenant Handles or proposes to Handle any Radioactive Materials in or about the Premises, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of Tenant’s licenses or permits for such Radioactive Materials and with copies of all radiation protection programs and procedures required under applicable Legal Requirements or otherwise adopted by Tenant from time to time in connection with Tenant’s Handling of such Radioactive Materials. In addition, Tenant shall comply with any and all rules and procedures issued by Landlord in its good faith discretion from time to time with respect to the Handling of Radioactive Materials on the Project (such as, by way of example but not limitation, rules implementing a label defacement program for decayed waste destined for common trash and/or rules relating to transportation and storage of Radioactive Materials on the Project), provided that such rules and procedures shall be reasonable and in excess of any obligations imposed by any applicable Legal Requirements.

36.

27.15     Deemed Holdover Occupancy. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, Tenant expressly agrees as follows: (1) If Tenant Handles any Radioactive Materials in or about the Premises during the term of this Lease, then for so long as any license or permit relating to such Radioactive Materials remains open following any otherwise applicable termination or expiration of the term of this Lease and another entity handling Radioactive Materials which is a prospective tenant of Landlord is legally prohibited from occupying the Premises, then and in such event, Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises on a holdover basis without Landlord’s consent (notwithstanding such otherwise applicable termination or expiration of the term of this Lease) and shall be required to continue to pay Rent and other charges in accordance with the holdover provisions of this Lease until such time as all such Radioactive Materials licenses and permits have been fully closed out in accordance with the requirements of this Lease and with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws and other Legal Requirements. (2) If Tenant Handles any Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises during the term of this Lease and, at the otherwise applicable termination or expiration of the term of this Lease, Tenant has failed to remove from the Premises, the Building and/or the Project all Hazardous Materials Handled by a Tenant Party or has failed to complete any remediation or removal of Tenant’s Contamination and/or to have fully remediated, in compliance with the requirements of this Lease and with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws and other Legal Requirements, the Tenant’s Handling and/or Release (if applicable) of any such Hazardous Materials and/or Tenant shall have failed to obtain and deliver to Landlord a written statement from the San Mateo County Department of Health stating that no further action is required for re-occupancy of the Premises, then for so long as such circumstances continue to exist, Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises on a holdover basis without Landlord’s consent (notwithstanding such otherwise applicable termination or expiration of the term of this Lease) and shall be required to continue pay Rent and other charges in accordance with the holdover provisions of this Lease until such time as all such circumstances have been fully resolved in accordance with the requirements of this Lease and with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws and other Legal Requirements. For purposes of this Section below, “known” shall include both (A) matters actually known to either Landlord or Tenant at the relevant date and (B) any violation of Legal Requirements disclosed in the post-occupancy environmental study required under this Lease. (3) The parties acknowledge that any failure by Tenant (A) to have fully closed out any and all Radioactive Materials licenses and permits at the otherwise applicable termination or expiration of the term of this Lease to the extent required by Legal Requirements, and/or (B) to have removed from the Premises and the Building, at the otherwise applicable termination or expiration of the term of this Lease, all known Hazardous Materials attributable to Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises and to have fully remediated by such date, in compliance with the requirements of this Lease and with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws and other Legal Requirements, the Tenant’s Handling and/or Release (if applicable) of any such Hazardous Materials in violation of Legal Requirements, in each instance will make it extremely difficult or impossible for Landlord to re-let or otherwise use the Premises while such circumstances continue, and will therefore cause Landlord to incur costs and damages not contemplated by this Lease (including, without limitation, loss of income from re-letting of the Premises and exposure to possible damages claims by successor tenants to which Landlord may have already contracted to re-let the Premises). The parties further acknowledge that it is extremely difficult and impractical to fix the exact amount of such costs and damages, and that the provisions of this Section represent a fair and reasonable estimate of Landlord’s damages from loss of opportunities to re-let the Premises (but do not include potential damages claims by successor tenants or limit Tenant’s liability to Landlord with respect to any such claims, which shall instead be governed by the indemnity provisions in this Lease) and are specifically intended to provide Landlord with reasonable protection against the loss of income associated with being unable to re-let the Premises until all such circumstances have been appropriately resolved, recognizing the long-lived nature of many Radioactive Materials and other Hazardous Materials and the strict Legal Requirements associated with the Handling of such Radioactive Materials and other Hazardous Materials.

37.

27.16     Survival of Obligations. Tenant’s obligations and Landlord’s rights under this Section shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease and shall survive any conveyance by Landlord of its interest in the Premises. The provisions of this Section and any exercise by either party of any of the rights and remedies contained herein shall be without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that such party may have under this Lease or under applicable Legal Requirements with respect to any Environmental Conditions and/or any Hazardous Materials with respect to any breach of the other party’s obligations under this Section. Either party’s exercise or failure to exercise, at any time or from time to time, any or all of the rights granted in this Section shall not in any way impose any liability on such party or shift from the other party to such party any responsibility or obligation imposed upon the other party under this Lease or under applicable Legal Requirements with respect to Hazardous Materials, Environmental Conditions and/or compliance with Legal Requirements.

28. Subordination.

28.1     Effect of Subordination. This Lease, and any Option (as defined below) granted hereby, upon Landlord’s written election, shall be subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust or any other hypothecation or security now or hereafter placed upon the Project and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Notwithstanding such subordination, Tenant’s right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable cure period and so long as Tenant shall pay the rent and observe and perform all of the provisions of this Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms. At the request of any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor, Tenant shall attorn to such person or entity. If any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease and any Options granted hereby prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease and such Options shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, whether this Lease or such Options are dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease or the date of recording thereof. In the event of the foreclosure of a security device, the new owner shall not (a) be liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord or with respect to events occurring prior to its acquisition of title, (b) be liable for the breach of this Lease by any prior landlord, (c) be subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may have against the prior landlord or (d) be liable to Tenant for the return of its security deposit.

28.2     Execution of Documents. Tenant agrees to execute and acknowledge any documents Landlord reasonably requests that Tenant execute to effectuate an attornment, a subordination, or to make this Lease or any Option granted herein prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be. Tenant’s failure to execute such documents within ten (10) days after written demand shall constitute a default by Tenant hereunder or, at Landlord's option, Landlord shall have the right to execute such documents on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact. Tenant does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact and in Tenant’s name, place and stead to execute such documents in accordance with this section.

29. Options.

29.1     Definition. As used in this Lease, the word “Option” has the following meaning: (1) the right or option to extend the term of this Lease or to renew this Lease, (2) the option or right of first refusal to lease the Premises or the right of first offer to lease the Premises or the right of first refusal to lease other space within the Project or the right of first offer to lease other space within the Project, and (3) the right or option to terminate this Lease prior to its expiration date or to reduce the size of the Premises. Any Option granted to Tenant by Landlord must be evidenced by a written option agreement attached to this Lease as a rider or addendum or said option shall be of no force or effect. For purposes of this section, an Option shall also include any Option contained in any subsequent amendment to this Lease.

38.

29.2     Options Personal. Each Option granted to Tenant in this Lease, if any, is personal to the original Tenant and may be exercised only by the original Tenant while occupying the entire Premises and may not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to any person or entity other than Tenant, except as permitted in the Addendum. The Options, if any, herein granted to Tenant are not assignable separate and apart from this Lease, nor may any Option be separated from this Lease in any manner, either by reservation or otherwise. If at any time an Option is exercisable by Tenant, the Lease has been assigned or a sublease exists as to any portion of the Premises, the Option shall be deemed null and void and neither Tenant nor any assignee or subtenant shall have the right to exercise the Option.

29.3     Multiple Options. In the event that Tenant has multiple Options to extend or renew this Lease, a later Option cannot be exercised unless the prior Option to extend or renew this Lease has been so exercised.

29.4     Effect of Default on Options. Tenant shall have no right to exercise an Option (i) during the time commencing from the date Landlord gives to Tenant a notice of default pursuant to Section 17.1 and continuing until the noncompliance alleged in said notice of default is cured, or (ii) if Tenant is in default of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease. The period of time within which an Option may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise an Option because of the provisions of this section.

29.5     Intentionally Omitted.

29.6     Guarantees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any rider or addendum to this Lease, Tenant’s right to exercise and the effectiveness of an Option is conditioned upon Landlord’s receipt from any prior tenant that has not been expressly released from liability under this Lease, and any guarantor of any obligation of Tenant under this Lease, of a written agreement satisfactory to Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion, reaffirming such person’s obligations under this Lease or the guaranty, as modified by Tenant’s exercise of the Option.

29.7     Notice of Exercise of Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 43, Tenant shall give written notice exercising the Option using certified mail return receipt requested or some other method where the person delivering the package containing the notice obtains a signature of the person accepting the package containing the notice (e.g., by FedEx with the requirement that the FedEx delivery person obtain a signature from the person accepting the package). It shall be the obligation of Tenant to prove that Landlord received the notice exercising the Option in a timely manner.

30.       Landlord Reservations. Landlord shall have the right: (a) to change the name and address of the Project or Building upon not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice; (b) to permit any tenant the exclusive right to conduct any business as long as such exclusive right does not conflict with any rights expressly given herein; and (c) to place signs, notices or displays upon the roof, interior or exterior of the Building or Common Areas of the Project. Landlord reserves the right to use the exterior walls of the Premises, and the area beneath, adjacent to and above the Premises together with the right to install, use, maintain and replace equipment, machinery, pipes, conduits and wiring through the Premises, which serve other parts of the Project provided that Landlord’s use does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises.

39.

31.       Changes to Project. Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord’s sole discretion, from time to time, to make changes to the size, shape, location, number and extent of the improvements comprising the Project (hereinafter referred to as “Changes”) including, but not limited to, the interior and exterior of buildings, the Common Areas, HVAC, electrical systems, communication systems, fire protection and detection systems, plumbing systems, security systems, parking control systems, driveways, entrances, parking spaces, parking areas and landscaped areas. In connection with the Changes, Landlord may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessary structures at the Project, limit or eliminate access to portions of the Project, including portions of the Common Areas, or perform work in the Building, which work may create noise, dust or leave debris in the Building. Tenant hereby agrees that such Changes and Landlord’s actions in connection with such Changes shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant or entitle Tenant to any abatement of rent. Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the Changes, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Changes or Landlord’s actions in connection with such Changes. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to Tenant’s business operations caused by Changes.

32. Intentionally Omitted

33.        Holding Over. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof with Landlord’s consent, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month upon all the terms and conditions of this Lease pertaining to the obligations of Tenant, except that the Base Rent payable shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the greater of (i) the Base Rent payable immediately preceding the termination date of this Lease, and (ii) the fair market rental rate of the Premises as of the commencement of such holdover period; and all Options, if any, shall be deemed terminated and be of no further effect. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof, after the expiration of the term hereof without Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s option, be treated as a tenant at sufferance or a trespasser. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to constitute Landlord’s consent to Tenant holding over at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease term or to give Tenant the right to hold over after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease term. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord from any cost, loss, claim or liability (including attorneys’ fees) Landlord may incur as a result of Tenant’s failure to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord upon the termination of this Lease.

34. Landlord’s Access.

34.1     Access. Landlord and Landlord’s agents, contractors and employees shall have the right to enter the Premises at reasonable times upon reasonable advance telephonic notice to Tenant of not less than one (1) business day (except in the case of any emergency, where no advance notice shall be required) for the purpose of inspecting the Premises, performing any services required of Landlord, showing the Premises to prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants, undertaking safety measures and making alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Project. In the event of an emergency, Landlord may gain access to the Premises by any reasonable means, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for damage to the Premises or to Tenant’s property resulting from such access. Landlord may at any time place on or about the Building or the Project for sale or for lease signs.

34.2     Keys. Landlord shall have the right to retain keys to the locks on the entry doors to the Premises and all interior doors at the Premises.

40.

35.     Security Measures. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide guard service or other security measures for the benefit of the Premises or the Project, and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant due to its failure to provide such services. Tenant assumes all responsibility for the protection of Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors and invitees and the property of Tenant and of Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors and invitees from acts of third parties. Nothing herein contained shall prevent Landlord, at Landlord’s sole option, from implementing security measures for the Project or any part thereof, in which event Tenant shall participate in such security measures and the cost thereof shall be included within the definition of Operating Expenses, and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant and its agents, employees, contractors and invitees arising out of Landlord’s negligent provision of security measures. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require all persons entering or leaving the Project to identify themselves to a security guard and to reasonably establish that such person should be permitted access to the Project. In no event shall Tenant or its employees, agents or contractors bring firearms or other weapons to the Project or the Premises, and Tenant shall not have the right to employ armed security guards.

36.     Easements. Landlord reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant such easements, rights and dedications that Landlord deems necessary or desirable, 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 Tenant. Tenant shall sign any of the aforementioned documents within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request, and Tenant’s failure to do so within five (5) days following Landlord’s second request therefor shall constitute a default by Tenant. The obstruction of Tenant’s view, air or light by any structure erected in the vicinity of the Project, whether by Landlord or third parties, shall in no way affect this Lease or impose any liability upon Landlord.

37.     Transportation Management. Tenant shall fully comply at its sole expense with all present or future programs implemented or required by any governmental or quasi-governmental entity or Landlord to manage parking, transportation, air pollution or traffic in and around the Project or the metropolitan area in which the Project is located.

38.     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 hereof.

39.     Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each of the obligations to be performed by Tenant and Landlord under this Lease.

40.     Definition of Additional Rent. All monetary obligations of Tenant to Landlord under the terms of this Lease, including, but not limited to, Base Rent, Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses and late charges shall be deemed to be rent.

41.     Incorporation of Prior Agreements. This Lease and the attachments listed in Section 1.21 contain all agreements of the parties with respect to the lease of the Premises and any other matter mentioned herein. No prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective. Except as otherwise stated in this Lease, Tenant hereby acknowledges that no real estate broker nor Landlord nor any employee or agents of any of said persons has made any oral or written warranties or representations to Tenant concerning the condition or use by Tenant of the Premises or the Project or concerning any other matter addressed by this Lease.

42.     Amendments. This Lease may be modified in writing only, signed by the parties in interest at the time of the modification. One or more emails signed by one or more parties shall never constitute a writing signed by the parties that is capable of amending or modifying the Lease.

41.

43.     Notices. All notices required or permitted by this Lease shall be in writing and may be delivered (a) in person (by hand, by messenger or by courier service), (b) by U.S. Postal Service regular mail, (c) by U.S. Postal Service certified mail, return receipt requested, (d) by U.S. Postal Service Express Mail, Federal Express or other overnight courier, or (e) by facsimile transmission, and shall be deemed sufficiently given if served in a manner specified in this section. Notices may not be given by email, and email notices shall not be binding on Landlord or Tenant for any purpose. Any notice permitted or required hereunder, and any notice to pay rent or quit or similar notice, shall be deemed personally delivered to Tenant on the date the notice is personally delivered to any employee of Tenant at the Premises. The addresses set forth in Section 1.22 of this Lease shall be the address of each party for notice purposes. Landlord or Tenant may by written notice to the other specify a different address for notice purposes, except that upon Tenant’s taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute Tenant’s address for the purpose of mailing or delivering notices to Tenant. A copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to Landlord hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Landlord may from time to time hereinafter designate by written notice to Tenant. Any notice sent by regular mail or by certified mail, return receipt requested, shall be deemed given three (3) days after deposited with the U.S. Postal Service. Notices delivered by U.S. Express Mail, Federal Express or other courier shall be deemed given on the date delivered by the carrier to the appropriate party’s address for notice purposes. If any notice is transmitted by facsimile transmission, the notice shall be deemed delivered upon telephone confirmation of receipt of the transmission thereof at the appropriate party’s address for notice purposes. A copy of all notices delivered to a party by facsimile transmission shall also be mailed to the party on the date the facsimile transmission is completed. If notice is received on Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, it shall be deemed received on the next business day. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to limit Landlord’s right to serve any notice to pay rent or quit or similar notice by any method permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, and any such notice shall be effective if served in accordance with any method permitted by applicable Legal Requirements whether or not the requirements of this section have been met.

44.     Waivers. No waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Landlord or Tenant of the same or any other provision. Landlord’s consent to, or approval of, any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant. The acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any provision hereof, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. No acceptance by Landlord of partial payment of any sum due from Tenant shall be deemed a waiver by Landlord of its right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or accompanying letter from Tenant be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Tenant hereby waives California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1179 and Civil Code section 3275 which allow tenants to obtain relief from the forfeiture of a lease, and Tenant hereby waives any claim it may have against Landlord based on Landlord’s failure to comply with Section 1938 of the California Civil Code. Tenant hereby waives for Tenant and all those claiming under Tenant all rights now or hereafter existing to redeem by order or judgment of any court or by legal process or writ Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination of this Lease.

45.     Covenants. This Lease shall be construed as though Landlord’s covenants contained herein are independent and not dependent and Tenant hereby waives the benefit of any statute to the contrary. All provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant are both covenants and conditions.

46.     Binding Effect; Choice of Law. Subject to any provision hereof restricting assignment or subletting by Tenant, this Lease shall bind the parties, their heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the state in which the Project is located, and any litigation concerning this Lease between the parties hereto shall be initiated in the county in which the Project is located.

42.

47.     Attorneys’ Fees. If Landlord or Tenant brings an action to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the prevailing party in any such action, or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the court in the same or separate suit, and whether or not such action is pursued to decision or judgment. The attorneys’ fee award shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse all attorneys’ fees and court costs reasonably incurred in good faith. Landlord shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs and expenses incurred in the preparation and service of notices of default and consultations in connection therewith, whether or not a legal action is subsequently commenced in connection with such default. Landlord and Tenant agree that attorneys’ fees incurred with respect to defaults and bankruptcy are actual pecuniary losses within the meaning of Section 365(b)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute.

48.     Auctions. Tenant shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction or going-out-of-business sale upon the Premises or the Common Areas.

49.     Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, or a termination by Landlord, shall not result in the merger of Landlord’s and Tenant’s estates and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing subtenancies or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all of such subtenancies.

50.     Quiet Possession. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Lease, and the rights of any lender, and provided Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable cure period hereunder, Tenant shall have quiet possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the provisions of this Lease.

51.     Authority. If Tenant is a corporation, trust, limited liability company, limited liability partnership or general or limited partnership, Tenant represents and warrants that each individual executing this Lease on behalf of such entity is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said entity, that said entity is duly authorized to enter into this Lease, and that this Lease is enforceable against said entity in accordance with its terms. If Tenant is a corporation, trust, limited liability company, limited liability partnership or other partnership, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord upon demand evidence of such authority satisfactory to Landlord.

52.     Conflict. Any conflict between the type written provisions of this Lease and handwritten provisions, if any, shall be controlled by the handwritten provisions; provided, however, handwritten provisions shall have no force or effect unless separately initialed by both Landlord and Tenant.

53.     Multiple Parties. If more than one person or entity is named as Tenant herein, the obligations of Tenant shall be the joint and several responsibility of all persons or entities named herein as Tenant. Service of a notice in accordance with Section 43 on one Tenant shall be deemed service of notice on all Tenants.

54.     Interpretation. This Lease shall be interpreted as if it was prepared by both parties, and ambiguities shall not be resolved in favor of Tenant because all or a portion of this Lease was prepared by Landlord. The captions contained in this Lease are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to limit or alter the meaning of this Lease. As used in this Lease, the words tenant and landlord include the plural as well as the singular. Words used in the neuter gender include the masculine and feminine gender.

43.

55.     Prohibition Against Recording. Neither this Lease, nor any memorandum, affidavit or other writing with respect thereto, shall be recorded by Tenant or by anyone acting through, under or on behalf of Tenant. Landlord shall have the right to record a memorandum of this Lease, and Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord for recording any memorandum prepared by Landlord.

56.     Relationship of Parties. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by any third party to create the relationship of principal and agent, partnership, joint venturer or any association between Landlord and Tenant.

57.     Rules and Regulations. Tenant agrees to abide by and conform to the Rules and to cause its employees, suppliers, customers and invitees to so abide and conform. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to modify, amend and enforce the Rules in a nondiscriminatory manner not in conflict with the terms of this Lease. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the failure of other persons, including, but not limited to, other tenants, their agents, employees and invitees, to comply with the Rules.

58.     Right to Lease. Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Project as Landlord in its sole discretion shall determine, and Tenant is not relying on any representation that any specific tenant or number of tenants will occupy the Project.

59.     Patriot Act. Tenant represents to Landlord that, (i) neither Tenant nor any person or entity that directly owns a 10% or greater equity interest in it nor any of its officers, directors or managing members is a person or entity (each, a “Prohibited Person”) with whom U.S. persons or entities are restricted from doing business under regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of the Treasury (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List) or under Executive Order 13224 (the “Executive Order”) signed on September 24, 2001, and entitled “Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism,” or other governmental action, (ii) Tenant’s activities do not violate the International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 or the regulations or orders promulgated thereunder (as amended from time to time, the “Money Laundering Act”) and (iii) throughout the term of this Lease, Tenant shall comply with the Executive Order and with the Money Laundering Act.

60.     Confidentiality. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Lease are confidential and constitute proprietary information of Landlord. Disclosure of the terms hereof could adversely affect the ability of Landlord to negotiate other leases with respect to the Project and may impair Landlord’s relationship with other tenants of the Project. Except to the extent required by applicable law, Tenant agrees that it and its partners, officers, directors, employees, brokers, accountants, lawyers, existing and prospective investors, existing and prospective lenders, and prospective subtenants, assignees and acquirers, if any, shall not disclose the terms and conditions of this Lease to any other person or entity without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be given or withheld by Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion. It is understood and agreed that damages alone would be an inadequate remedy for the breach of this provision by Tenant, and Landlord shall also have the right to seek specific performance of this provision and to seek injunctive relief to prevent its breach or continued breach.

61.     Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR CROSS-COMPLAINT IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING AND/OR HEARING BROUGHT BY EITHER LANDLORD AGAINST TENANT OR TENANT AGAINST LANDLORD ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANT’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE, OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY REMEDY UNDER ANY LAW, STATUTE, OR REGULATION, EMERGENCY OR OTHERWISE, NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT.

44.

62.     Counterpart Copies; Electronic Signatures. This Lease and any documents or addenda attached hereto may be executed in two or more counterpart copies, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts shall have the same force and effect as if the parties had executed a single copy of this Lease or the attached document or addenda.

Exhibit D

Addendum to Lease Agreement dated April 17, 2015 regarding approx. 5,188 rsf in the building located at 290 Utah Avenue, South San Francisco (the “Lease Form”)
Between CRP Edgewater, L.L.C. (“Landlord”) and
Vaxart, Inc. (“Tenant”)

It is hereby agreed by Landlord and Tenant that the provisions of this Addendum are a part of the Lease. If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Addendum and the terms and conditions of the Lease Form, the terms and conditions of this Addendum shall control. Capitalized terms in this Addendum shall have the same meaning as capitalized terms in the Lease Form, and, if a Work Letter Agreement is attached to this Lease, as those terms have been defined in the Work Letter Agreement.

1.     Abatement of Base Rent. Landlord hereby agrees to conditionally waive the Base Rent due for the first full calendar month of the initial Lease term. No amounts due to Landlord under the Lease other than the Base Rent referred to above shall be conditionally waived. In the event Tenant commits a default as defined in the Lease, Base Rent coming due thereafter shall not be waived, and if Landlord elects to terminate the Lease as a result of Tenant’s default, then all Base Rent that Landlord conditionally waived in the past shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant to Landlord without notice or demand from Landlord. If the Lease expires in accordance with its terms, and does not terminate as a result of a default by Tenant, Landlord agrees to permanently waive the Base Rent it has conditionally waived. The total Base Rent conditionally waived shall not exceed Eighteen Thousand Six Hundred Seventy Six and 80/100 Dollars ($18,676.80).

2.     Signage. Landlord shall place Tenant’s name adjacent to the door to the Premises using Building standard suite signage at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. In addition, Landlord shall place Tenant’s name in the Building’s lobby directory, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. Any changes to Tenant’s name shall be paid for by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

3.     Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 16 of the Lease Form or elsewhere in the Lease Form, an assignment of the Lease or sublease of all or any portion of the Premises to any entity which controls or is controlled by Tenant or which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or which is the surviving entity resulting from a merger or consolidation of Tenant (in each such case, an “Affiliate”), shall not require Landlord’s consent under Section 16, provided that no later than thirty (30) days after such assignment or sublease (i) Tenant provides Landlord with reasonable evidence that the successor to Tenant has a tangible net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (and excluding goodwill and other intangible assets) that is sufficient to meet the obligations of Tenant under the Lease, and that is at least equal to the tangible net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale; (ii) Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of any such assignment or sublease and provides Landlord with evidence that such assignment or sublease is a Transfer permitted by this section; (iii) prior to the date an assignment or sublease will take effect (or, in the event Tenant is prohibited by law from disclosing such transaction prior to the date it will take effect, within ten (10) days after the date on which Tenant is no longer prohibited by law from disclosing such transaction), the assignee or sublessee and Tenant shall enter into Landlord’s standard and reasonable consent to sublease agreement or consent to assignment agreement (the “Transfer Agreements”), (iv) any guarantors of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease execute an agreement satisfactory to Landlord reaffirming that their obligations under the guaranty will continue after the assignment of the Lease to an Affiliate and (v) Tenant shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred by Landlord in confirming that the assignment or sublease meets the requirements of this section and in preparing any Transfer Agreement. Whether or not an assignment or sublease to an Affiliate is made pursuant to the terms of this section (each a “Permitted Transfer”), Tenant shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Lease. In addition, any sale or transfer of the memberships, interests, shares, or stock of Tenant shall be deemed a “Permitted Transfer” if Tenant is, or in connection with the proposed transfer becomes, a publicly traded entity. Landlord shall have no right to terminate the Lease in connection with, and shall have no right to any sums or other economic consideration resulting from, any Permitted Transfer.

1.

4.     Landlord’s Work; Commencement Date. The Commencement Date shall occur on the date that Landlord delivers the Premises to Tenant with the work set forth on the attached Exhibit E completed in good and workmanlike manner (collectively “Landlord’s Work”). In addition to Landlord's Work, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, install a separate meter, or sub-meter, as Landlord shall determine in its reasonable discretion, such that electricity serving the Premises is separately metered or sub-metered, as applicable. Installation of such separate meter or sub-meter is not a condition to the commencement of the Lease and will not delay the Commencement Date if not completed by the Commencement Date.

5.     Option to Extend. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option to extend the term of the Lease (the “Extension Option”) for one (1) five (5)-year period (the “Extended Term”) commencing when the initial lease term expires upon each and all of the following terms and conditions:

a.     On a date which is prior to the date that the Extended Term would commence (if exercised) by at least two hundred seventy (270) days and not more than three hundred sixty (360) days, Landlord shall have received from Tenant a written notice of the exercise of the Extension Option (an “Exercise Notice”), time being of the essence. If the Exercise Notice is not so given and received, the Extension Option shall automatically expire, Tenant shall no longer have the right to give an Exercise Notice and this section shall be of no further force or effect. Tenant shall give the Exercise Notice using certified mail return receipt requested or some other method where the person delivering the package containing the Exercise Notice obtains a signature of the person accepting the package containing the Exercise Notice (e.g., by FedEx with the requirement that the FedEx delivery person obtain a signature from the person accepting the package). It shall be the obligation of Tenant to prove that Landlord received the Exercise Notice in a timely manner. Once Tenant gives an Exercise Notice its exercise of the Extension Option shall be irrevocable.

b.     All of the terms and conditions of the Lease except where specifically modified by this section shall apply.

c.     The monthly Base Rent payable during the Extended Term shall be the Market Rate on the date the Extended Term commences; provided, however, that at no time during the Extended Term shall the Base Rent be less than the Base Rent due immediately preceding the commencement of the Extended Term.

d.     The term “Market Rate” shall mean the annual amount per rentable square foot that a willing, comparable renewal tenant would pay and a willing, comparable landlord of a similar office/R&D and laboratory building located in the City of South San Francisco would accept at arm’s length for similar space, giving appropriate consideration to the following matters: (i) annual rental rates per rentable square foot; (ii) the type of escalation clauses (including, but without limitation, operating expense, real estate taxes, and CPI) and the extent of liability under the escalation clauses (i.e., whether determined on a “net lease” basis or by increases over a particular base year or base dollar amount); (iii) rent abatement provisions reflecting free rent and/or no rent during the lease term; (iv) length of lease term; (v) size and location of premises being leased; and (vi) other generally applicable terms and conditions of tenancy for similar space; provided, however, Tenant shall not be entitled to any tenant improvement allowance. If renewal tenant’s exercising similar market rate extension options are receiving a tenant improvement allowance, this fact shall be taken into consideration in determining the Market Rate. The Market Rate may also designate periodic rental increases, a new base year and similar economic adjustments.

2.

e.     If Tenant exercises the Extension Option, Landlord shall determine the Market Rate by using its good faith judgment. Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of such amount on or before the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the date that the Extended Term will commence. Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days (“Tenant’s Review Period”) after receipt of Landlord’s notice of the new rental within which to accept such rental. In the event Tenant fails to accept in writing such rental proposal by Landlord, then such proposal shall be deemed rejected, and Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon such Market Rate, using their best good faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days following Tenant’s Review Period (“Outside Agreement Date”), then each party shall place in a separate sealed envelope their final proposal as to the Market Rate, and such determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with subsections (i) through (v) below.

i.     Landlord and Tenant shall meet with each other within five (5) business days after the Outside Agreement Date and exchange their sealed envelopes and then open such envelopes in each other’s presence. If Landlord and Tenant do not mutually agree upon the Market Rate within one (1) business day of the exchange and opening of envelopes, then, within ten (10) business days of the exchange and opening of envelopes, Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon and jointly appoint a single arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker or agent who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of similar buildings in the geographical area of the Premises. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall consult with such broker or agent as to his or her opinion as to the Market Rate prior to the appointment. The determination of the arbitrator shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Market Rate for the Premises is the closest to the actual Market Rate for the Premises as determined by the arbitrator, taking into account the requirements for determining Market Rate set forth herein. Such arbitrator may hold such hearings and require such briefs as the arbitrator, in his or her sole discretion, determines is necessary. In addition, Landlord or Tenant may submit to the arbitrator with a copy to the other party within five (5) business days after the appointment of the arbitrator any market data and additional information such party deems relevant to the determination of the Market Rate (“MR Data”), and the other party may submit a reply in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of such MR Data.

ii.     The arbitrator shall, within thirty (30) days of his or her appointment, reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Market Rate and shall notify Landlord and Tenant of such determination.

iii.     The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

iv.     If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon and appoint an arbitrator, then the appointment of the arbitrator shall be made by the presiding judge of the Superior Court for the county in which the Premises is located (or if there is no Superior Court in the county, a similar court), or, if he or she refuses to act, by any judge having jurisdiction over the parties.

v.     The cost of the arbitration shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally.

vi.     Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to execute and to deliver to Landlord an amendment to the Lease that accurately sets forth the Extended Term of the Lease and the new Base Rent and other economic terms, if any. Within ten (10) days after Landlord provides the amendment to Tenant, Tenant shall execute the amendment and deliver the amendment to Landlord. Landlord’s election not to require Tenant to execute an amendment shall not invalidate Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option.
