FAVRILLE, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
UNAUDITED

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission related to a quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The balance sheet at December 31, 2004 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included elsewhere herein.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Favrille has a stock-based employee plan and a non-employee director compensation plan that are described more fully in Note 5 to the Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Favrille accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. As of September 30, 2005, no grants had been made from the non-employee director plan. No deferred compensation was recorded related to options granted during the three-month period ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. With respect to certain options granted during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company has recorded deferred compensation of approximately $350,000 and $8.4 million, respectively, for the incremental difference at the grant date between the fair value per share determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) and the deemed fair value per share solely for financial reporting purposes.  Deferred stock-based compensation is recognized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the related options, generally four years.

 

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an amendment of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation which provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation from the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 effective December 31, 2003.

 

Pro forma information regarding net loss is required by SFAS No. 123 and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock-based employee compensation under the fair value method prescribed in SFAS No. 123. The fair value of the options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004: weighted-average risk-free interest rates of 4.06% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, and 4.25% and 2.79% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively; dividend yields of 0%; expected volatility of 70%; and a weighted-average expected life of four years. There were no grants awarded for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004.  For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the vesting period of the related options.

 

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share if Favrille had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, to stock-based employee compensation.

Net Loss per Common Share

 

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, and Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 98. Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted loss per share includes the dilutive effect of common equivalent shares outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of this calculation, common stock subject to repurchase by the Company, preferred stock, options and warrants are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share when their effect is dilutive.

 

Pro forma net loss per share has been calculated as described above. The pro forma shares used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share represent the weighted-average common shares outstanding, reduced by the weighted-average unvested common shares subject to repurchase, and include the assumed automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock that automatically converted into shares of common stock upon the closing of our initial public offering  (“IPO”), in February 2005, using the as-if converted method as of January 1, 2004 or the date of issuance, if later.

Overview

 

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of targeted immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and diseases of the immune system. We have developed a proprietary technology that enables us to manufacture active immunotherapy products that are designed to stimulate a patient’s immune system to mount a specific and sustained response to disease. Our lead product candidate, FavId, is an active immunotherapy for the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, or NHL. FavId entered a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in follicular B-cell NHL in July 2004. As of August 9, 2005, 260 patients had been enrolled in the Phase 3 clinical trial. In addition, FavId has been evaluated in several multi-center, open-label Phase 2 clinical trials involving over 120 patients.

 

We believe FavId may be effective in treating other types of B-cell NHL. Five additional Phase 2 clinical trials of FavId are either ongoing or expected to begin during 2005. One of these clinical trials is being conducted under a separate physician-sponsored Investigational New Drug Application (“IND”) in the United States. A second of these is being conducted as a physician-sponsored clinical trial in Switzerland. Moreover, we believe our active immunotherapy expertise and proprietary manufacturing technology will enable us to develop additional product candidates for other oncology indications, such as T-cell lymphoma, and for autoimmune diseases, with an initial focus on multiple sclerosis. We are currently developing a second product candidate, FAV-201, for the treatment of T-cell lymphoma. We have retained exclusive worldwide commercialization rights to all of our product candidates.

 

We were incorporated in Delaware in January 2000. As of September 30, 2005, we had not generated any revenues, and we had financed our operations and internal growth through private placements of our preferred stock, equipment and leasehold debt financings and the sale of common stock in our initial public offering (“IPO”) in February 2005. We are a development stage company and have incurred significant losses since our inception in 2000, as we have devoted substantially all of our efforts to research and development activities, including clinical trials. As of September 30, 2005, our accumulated deficit was approximately $105.8 million. We expect to incur substantial and increasing losses for the next several years as we:

 

continue to develop and prepare for the commercialization of our lead product candidate, FavId;

expand our research and development programs;

expand our current manufacturing capabilities to support our operations; and

acquire or in-license oncology products that are complementary to our own.

Financial Operations Overview

 

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense consists primarily of costs associated with clinical trials of our product candidates, including the costs of manufacturing our product candidates, compensation and other expenses related to research and development personnel, facilities costs and depreciation. We charge all research and development expenses to operations as they are incurred. Our research and development activities are primarily focused on the development of FavId. We have completed enrollment in two Phase 2 clinical trials and continue to evaluate the results. We initiated our pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of FavId following Rituxan in patients with follicular B-cell NHL in July 2004. We expect to complete patient enrollment in the trial by the end of 2005 and anticipate an interim analysis of the secondary endpoint, response rate improvement (“RRI”), during the fourth quarter of 2006 and final analysis of the primary endpoint, time to disease progression (“TTP”), during the second half of 2007. Five additional Phase 2 clinical trials of FavId are either ongoing or expected to begin during 2005. One of these clinical trials is being conducted under a separate physician-sponsored IND in the United States. A second of these is being conducted as a physician-sponsored clinical trial in Switzerland. We estimate average enrollment periods of 12 to 24 months and evaluation periods ranging from six to 36 months for these Phase 2 clinical trials.

 

From inception through September 30, 2005, we incurred costs of approximately $59 million associated with the research and development of FavId, which represents substantially all of our research and development costs to date. We expect our research and development costs to increase as we advance FavId and new product candidates into later stages of clinical development. While difficult to predict, we estimate that research and development costs required to complete the development of and file a Biologics Licensing Application (“BLA”) for FavId will be an additional $70 million. We are unable to estimate with any certainty the costs we will incur in the continued development of other product candidates for commercialization. On an ongoing basis, we expect to expand our research and development activities to include clinical development of FAV-201 and preclinical research of treatments for autoimmune diseases, primarily multiple sclerosis.

 

Clinical development timelines, likelihood of success and total costs vary widely. Although we are currently focused primarily on FavId, we anticipate that we will make determinations as to which research and development projects to pursue and how much funding to direct toward each project on an on-going basis in response to the scientific and clinical success of each product candidate.

 

At this time, due to the risks inherent in the clinical trial process, product candidate completion dates and costs vary significantly for each product candidate and are difficult to estimate. The lengthy process of seeking regulatory approvals and the subsequent compliance with applicable regulations require the expenditure of substantial resources. Any failure by us to obtain, or any delay in obtaining, regulatory approvals for our product candidates could cause our research and development expenditures to increase and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We cannot be certain when, or if, any cash flows from our current product candidates will commence.

 

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and other expenses related to our corporate administrative employees, legal fees and other professional services expenses. We anticipate increases in general and administrative expenses as we add personnel and continue to develop and prepare for commercialization of our product candidates.

 

Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Stock-based compensation expense represents the amortization of deferred stock-based compensation resulting from options, granted prior to our IPO, that are considered compensatory because the deemed fair value of the underlying common stock for financial reporting purposes was greater than the exercise prices determined by the board of directors on the date of grant.

 

Interest Income. Interest income primarily consists of interest earned on our cash reserves, cash invested in money market funds, government securities, corporate notes and bonds and certificates of deposit.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense represents interest on our debt, including capital leases.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:

 

Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance.    Our estimate for the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets requires us to make significant estimates and judgments about our future operating results. Our ability to realize the deferred tax assets depends on our future taxable income as well as limitations on utilization. A deferred tax asset must be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized prior to its expiration. The projections of our operating results on which the establishment of a valuation allowance is based involve significant estimates regarding future demand for our products, competitive conditions, product development efforts, approvals of regulatory agencies and product cost. We have recorded a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets in the foreseeable future. These deferred tax assets primarily consist of certain net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credits.

 

Deferred Stock-Based Compensation.    In connection with the grant of stock options during the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, we recorded no deferred stock-based compensation. In connection with the grant of stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, we recorded deferred stock-based compensation of approximately $350,000 and $8.4 million, respectively. Deferred stock-based compensation was reduced by amounts representing stock option cancellations and our repurchase of unvested restricted stock related to employee terminations of approximately $28,000, $75,000, $176,000 and $88,000, during the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These options were considered compensatory because the deemed fair value of the underlying common stock for financial reporting purposes was greater than the exercise prices determined by the board of directors on the date of grant. The determination of the fair value prior to our IPO of the underlying shares of common stock involves subjective judgment and the consideration of a variety of factors, including the prices obtained in private placement transactions of other equity securities, and as a result the amount of the compensatory charge is not based on an objective measure such as the trading price of the common stock since there was no public market for our common stock prior to February 2, 2005. As of September 30, 2005, we had an aggregate of $6.4 million of deferred stock-based compensation remaining to be amortized. This deferred stock-based compensation balance will be amortized as follows: an additional $703,000 in 2005; $2.8 million in 2006; $2.3 million in 2007; and $571,000 in 2008. We are amortizing the deferred compensation on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the related options, which is generally four years. The amount of stock-based compensation amortization actually recognized in future periods could decrease if options for which accrued but unvested compensation has been recorded are forfeited.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 to 2004

 

Research and Development.    Research and development expense increased from approximately $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase of $2.1 million, or 43%, was due primarily to an increase of approximately $750,000 in expenses associated with clinical trial sites and other third party vendors supporting the Phase 3 clinical trial; an increase of approximately $650,000 associated with an increase in personnel from an average of 79 employees to 113 employees to support our Phase 3 clinical trial; an increase of approximately $240,000 associated with raw materials and supplies for the manufacture of FavId for our Phase 3 clinical trial; and an increase of approximately $180,000 related to our manufacturing facility to support the production of FavId.

 

General and Administrative.    General and administrative expense decreased from approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease of $480,000, or 29%, primarily reflects a decrease of approximately $790,000 due to a non-recurring IPO related expenditure incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2004, which was partially offset by an increase of approximately $180,000 in directors and officers liability insurance premiums and board of director’s fees incurred subsequent to our IPO; an increase of $170,000 associated with an increase in personnel from an average of 13 employees to 19 employees; and an increase of approximately $110,000 for services related to market research studies.

Amortization of Stock-Based Compensation.    In connection with the grant of stock options, we recorded  no deferred stock-based compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Deferred stock-based compensation was reduced by amounts representing stock option cancellations and our repurchase of unvested restricted stock of approximately $28,000, and $75,000, respectively. The deferred stock-based compensation is being amortized on a straight-line basis, as a non-cash charge to operations over the vesting period of the options. We recorded amortization of stock-based compensation of approximately $705,000 and $689,000 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We anticipate recording additional amortization of deferred stock-based compensation related to employee stock option grants of approximately $703,000, $2.8 million, $2.3 million and $571,000 for the years ending December 31, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

 

Interest Income.  Interest income increased from approximately $116,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to approximately $524,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase of $408,000, or 352%, was primarily a result of interest income attributable to the $43.6 million in net proceeds received from the sale of our Series C preferred stock in March and April 2004 and the $39.5 million in net proceeds received from our IPO in February 2005.

 

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 to 2004

 

Research and Development.    Research and development expense increased from approximately $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to approximately $21.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase of approximately $8.1 million, or 63%, was due primarily to an increase of approximately $2.3 million associated with raw materials and supplies for the manufacture of FavId for our Phase 3 clinical trial; an increase of approximately $2.1 million associated with an increase in personnel from an average of 71 employees to 107 employees to support our Phase 3 clinical trial; an increase of approximately $2.0 million in expenses associated with participating clinical sites and other third party vendors supporting the Phase 3 clinical trial; an increase of approximately $880,000 in additional outside services to support the manufacture of FavId; and an increase of approximately $660,000 related to our manufacturing facility to support the production of FavId.

 

General and Administrative.    General and administrative expense increased from approximately $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to approximately $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase of $264,000, or 8%, was primarily due to an increase of $480,000 associated with an increase in personnel from an average of 11 employees to 16 employees; and an increase of approximately $480,000 in directors and officers liability insurance premiums and other fees incurred subsequent to our IPO; which is partially offset by a decrease of approximately $790,000 due to a non-recurring IPO related expenditure incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2004.

 

Amortization of Stock-Based Compensation.    In connection with the grant of stock options, we recorded deferred stock-based compensation of approximately $350,000 and $8.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Deferred stock-based compensation was reduced by amounts representing stock option cancellations and our repurchase of unvested restricted stock of approximately $176,000 and $88,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The deferred stock-based compensation is being amortized on a straight-line basis, as a non-cash charge to operations over the vesting period of the options. We recorded amortization of stock-based compensation of approximately $2.2 million and $1.7 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We anticipate recording additional amortization of deferred stock-based compensation related to employee stock option grants of approximately $703,000, $2.8 million, $2.3 million and $571,000 for the years ending December 31, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

 

Interest Income.  Interest income increased from approximately $229,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to approximately $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase of $1.0 million, or 437%, was primarily a result of interest income attributable to the $43.6 million in net proceeds received from the sale of our Series C preferred stock in March and April 2004 and the $39.5 million in net proceeds received from our IPO in February 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

We have historically funded our operations primarily through the sale of our equity securities and equipment and leasehold debt financing. As of September 30, 2005, we had received proceeds from the sale of preferred stock of approximately $76.8 million, net of stock offering costs of approximately $686,000, and proceeds from the sale of common stock in our IPO of approximately $39.5 million, net of underwriters’ discounts and commissions and approximately $1.4 million of offering costs. As of September 30, 2005, we had financed the purchase of equipment and leasehold improvements through debt totaling approximately $11.5 million, of which approximately $6.2 million was outstanding at that date. These obligations are secured by certain purchased equipment and leasehold improvements and are due in monthly installments through January 2009. They bear interest at effective rates ranging from approximately 5.18% to 21.67% and include terminal payments at the end of certain of the loans ranging from 7.50% to 12.75%. The debt agreements subject us to certain non-financial covenants. As of September 30, 2005, we were in compliance with the terms of the debt agreements.

 

As of September 30, 2005, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $43.2 million, as compared to approximately $26.6 million at December 31, 2004, an increase of approximately $16.6 million. The increase resulted primarily from the $39.5 million in net proceeds received from our IPO during the first quarter of 2005, partially offset by net cash used to fund ongoing operations.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $21.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, reflecting the net loss occurred for this period of approximately $26.3 million, offset primarily by non-cash charges for stock-based compensation of $2.2 million, depreciation and amortization of $1.3 million, deferred rent of $404,000, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $877,000; which was offset by accrued interest income of $331,000.   Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $14.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 reflecting the net loss occurred for this period of approximately $18.4 million, offset primarily by non-cash charges for stock-based compensation of $1.7 million, depreciation and amortization of $1.0 million, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $546,000, and deferred rent of $448,000.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 was approximately $24.0 million, reflecting the purchase of $23.2 million in short-term investments and the purchase of approximately $806,000 of property and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 was approximately $3.4 million, reflecting primarily the purchase of approximately $3.6 million of property and equipment, partially offset by amount received from our landlord as a reimbursement of costs associated with tenant improvements expenditures.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 was approximately $39.0 million, reflecting primarily the net proceeds from our IPO during the first quarter of 2005 of approximately $39.5 million.  Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 was approximately $45.3 million, reflecting primarily the net proceeds from the sale of our Series C preferred stock in March and April 2004 and net proceeds of debt financing of approximately $1.2 million.

 

Funding Requirements

 

Our future capital uses and requirements depend on numerous forward-looking factors. These factors include but are not limited to the following:

 

magnitude and cost of our product development efforts and other research and development activities;

 

rate of progress toward obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;

 

costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing our patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

 

our ability to establish and maintain collaborative, licensing or other arrangements for the development, sale, marketing or distribution of our product candidates and the terms of those arrangements;

 

effects of competing technological and market developments;

 

13



 

the cost of expansion of our current facility for commercial production or the construction of a large separate commercial-scale production facility; and

 

the success of the commercialization of FavId.

 

Until we can generate significant cash from our operations, we expect to continue to fund our operations with existing cash resources that were primarily generated from the proceeds of offerings of our equity securities and from equipment and leasehold improvement debt financing. In addition, we may finance future cash needs through the sale of other equity securities, strategic collaboration agreements and debt financing. However, we may not be successful in obtaining collaboration agreements, or in receiving milestone or royalty payments under those agreements. In addition, we cannot be sure that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be adequate or that additional financing will be available when needed or that, if available, financing will be obtained on terms favorable to us or our stockholders. Having insufficient funds may require us to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our research or development programs or to relinquish greater or all rights to product candidates at an earlier stage of development or on less favorable terms than we would otherwise choose. Failure to obtain adequate financing may also adversely affect our ability to operate as a going concern. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, substantial dilution to existing stockholders would likely result. If we raise additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict our ability to operate our business.

 

As of September 30, 2005, we do not believe that we have invested in any variable interest entities. We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.

 

Factors that May Affect Future Operating Results

 

You should consider carefully the risk factors described below, together with the other information contained in this report. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects would likely be materially and adversely affected. In these circumstances, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.

 

Risks Related to the Development of Our Product Candidates

 

We are dependent on the success of our lead product candidate, FavId, and we cannot be certain that it will be commercialized.

 

We have expended significant time, money and effort in the development of our lead product candidate, FavId, which is still in clinical development, has not yet received regulatory approval and may never be commercialized. In order to commercialize FavId, we will need to demonstrate to the FDA and other regulatory agencies that it satisfies rigorous standards of safety and effectiveness. We initiated a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of FavId following Rituxan for the treatment of follicular B-cell NHL in July 2004.

 

We are also evaluating FavId for use in other B-cell NHL indications. However, even if we were to receive regulatory approval of FavId for the treatment of indolent B-cell NHL or the other indications we are exploring, our ability to successfully commercialize FavId could be jeopardized by the emergence of a competitive product that exhibits greater efficacy, longer duration of response or other benefits. In addition, because our initial regulatory and marketing strategy contemplates the administration of FavId to patients following treatment with Rituxan, the commercial opportunity for FavId may be limited by the degree to which oncologists continue to use Rituxan to treat indolent B-cell NHL. Furthermore, to the extent FavId fails to gain market acceptance for its initial indication, it may be more difficult for us to generate sufficient credibility with physicians and patients to commercialize FavId for other indications.

 

14



 

Other than FavId, we have only two other product development programs, which are at significantly earlier stages of development. We are currently preparing to file an IND for a product candidate, FAV-201, from one of these programs in patients with T-cell lymphoma. During the fourth quarter of 2005, we intend to initiate preclinical studies to assess the applicability of our technology to autoimmune diseases, with an initial focus on multiple sclerosis. We cannot be certain that we will be able to successfully develop any product candidate from these development programs. We cannot be certain that the clinical development of FavId or any other product candidate in preclinical testing or clinical trials will be successful, that it will receive the regulatory approvals required to commercialize it, or that any of our other research programs will yield a product candidate suitable for entry into clinical trials. If we are unable to commercialize FavId or our other product candidates, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenues to attain or maintain profitability, our ability to raise additional capital will be impaired and our stock price may be negatively affected.

 

Failure to obtain product approvals by the FDA could harm our business.

 

We are subject to rigorous and extensive regulation by the FDA. In the United States, our biologic product candidates, currently in the preclinical and clinical stages of development, cannot be marketed until they are approved by the FDA. Obtaining FDA approval involves the submission of the results of preclinical studies and clinical trials, among other information, of the product candidates. We may not be able to obtain FDA approval, and, even if we are able to do so, the approval process typically takes many years and requires the commitment of substantial effort and financial resources. The FDA can delay, limit or deny approval of a biologic product candidate for many reasons, including:

 

the FDA may not find that the biologic product candidate is sufficiently safe or effective;

 

FDA officials may interpret data from preclinical testing and clinical trials differently than we do; and

 

the FDA may not find our manufacturing processes or facilities satisfactory.

 

In addition, the specific active immunotherapy technology on which FavId is based is a relatively new form of cancer therapy that presents novel issues for the FDA to consider, which may make the regulatory process especially difficult.

 

We cannot assure you that any of our product candidates in development will be approved in the United States in a timely fashion, or at all. Failure to obtain regulatory approval of our product candidates in a timely fashion would prevent or delay us from marketing or selling any products and, therefore, from generating revenues from their sale. If this occurs, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenues to attain or maintain profitability, our ability to raise additional capital will be impaired and our stock price may be negatively affected. In addition, both before and after approval, we are subject to numerous FDA requirements covering, among other things, testing, manufacturing, quality control, labeling, advertising, promotion and export of biologics. Failure to comply with the law, including statutes and regulations, administered by the FDA, could result in, among others, any of the following actions:

 

warning letters;

 

fines and other civil penalties;

 

unanticipated expenditures;

 

delays in approving or refusal to approve a product candidate;

 

product recall or seizure;

 

interruption of production;

 

operating restrictions;

 

injunctions; and

 

criminal prosecution.

Before we can seek regulatory approval of any of our product candidates, we must successfully complete clinical trials, which are uncertain.

 

Conducting clinical trials is a lengthy, time-consuming and expensive process, and the results of these trials are inherently uncertain. We have completed enrollment of patients in several Phase 2 clinical trials of FavId involving over 120 indolent B-cell NHL patients and are currently conducting follow-up evaluation of those patients. We initiated a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of FavId for the treatment of follicular B-cell NHL in July 2004. We expect to complete enrollment of our target of 342 evaluable patients by year end or soon thereafter and anticipate an analysis of the secondary endpoint, RRI, during the fourth quarter of 2006 and final analysis of the primary endpoint, TTP, during the second half of 2007. Five additional Phase 2 clinical trials of FavId are either ongoing or expected to begin during 2005. One of these clinical trials is being conducted under a separate physician-sponsored IND in the United States. A second of these is being conducted as a physician-sponsored clinical trial in Switzerland. Sponsorship for a physician-sponsored IND of an ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial was assumed in August 2004. We are also developing our preclinical candidete FAV-201 for the treatment of T-cell lymphoma and we are currently preparing to file an IND.

 

We have received a Special Protocol Assessment, or SPA, from the FDA for our Phase 3 clinical trial. In the SPA process, the FDA reviewed the design, size and planned analysis of our Phase 3 clinical trial and provided comments regarding the trial’s adequacy to form a basis with respect to effectiveness for approval of a Biologics Licensing Application, or BLA, if the trial meets its predetermined objectives. The FDA’s written agreement is binding, except in limited circumstances, such as when a substantial scientific issue essential to determining the safety or effectiveness of a product candidate is identified after the Phase 3 clinical trial is commenced. Despite having received an SPA, we may be required to conduct an additional Phase 3 clinical trial of FavId for the treatment of indolent B-cell NHL before we can apply for regulatory approval. Although the FDA typically requires successful results in two Phase 3 clinical trials to support marketing approval, the FDA has, on several occasions, approved products based on a single Phase 3 clinical trial that demonstrates a high level of statistical significance where there is an unmet need for a life-threatening condition. We currently plan to seek FDA approval of FavId based on our ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial alone. In the event that the FDA requires the results of a second Phase 3 clinical trial before accepting a BLA or before granting marketing approval of FavId, our launch of FavId would be delayed, possibly by several years, and we would incur significant costs in conducting the additional trial.

 

Completion of necessary clinical trials may take several years or more. Our commencement and rate of completion of clinical trials may be delayed by many factors, including:

 

ineffectiveness of the product candidate, or perceptions by physicians that the product candidate is not safe or effective for a particular indication;

 

inability to manufacture sufficient quantities of the product candidate for use in clinical trials;

 

delay or failure in obtaining approval of our clinical trial protocols from the FDA;

 

slower than expected rate of patient recruitment and enrollment;

 

inability to adequately follow and monitor patients after treatment;

 

difficulty in managing multiple clinical sites;

 

unforeseen safety issues; and

 

government or regulatory delays.

 

Even if we achieve positive interim results in clinical trials, these results do not necessarily predict final results, and positive results in early trials may not be indicative of success in later trials. A number of companies in the pharmaceutical industry have suffered significant setbacks in advanced clinical trials, even after promising results in earlier trials. Negative or inconclusive results or adverse medical events during a clinical trial could cause us to repeat or terminate a clinical trial or require us to conduct additional trials. Our clinical trials may be suspended at any time for a variety of reasons, including if the FDA or we believe the patients participating in our trials are exposed to unacceptable health risks or if the FDA finds deficiencies in the conduct of these trials.

 

16



 

Failures or perceived failures in our clinical trials will directly delay our product development and regulatory approval process, damage our business prospects, make it difficult for us to establish collaboration and partnership relationships, and negatively affect our reputation and competitive position in the pharmaceutical community.

 

Failure to enroll patients in our clinical trials may cause delays in developing FavId or any other product candidate.

 

We may encounter delays in development and commercialization, or fail to obtain marketing approval, of FavId or any other product candidate that we may develop if we are unable to enroll enough patients to complete clinical trials. Our ability to enroll sufficient numbers of patients in our clinical trials depends on many factors, including the size of the patient population, the nature of the protocol, the proximity of patients to clinical sites, the eligibility criteria for the trial and competing clinical trials. We have from time to time experienced slower-than-expected patient enrollment in our clinical trials. Delays in planned patient enrollment may result in increased costs and harm our ability to complete our clinical trials and obtain regulatory approval.

 

The development of FavId requires the continued availability of two FDA-approved drugs: GM-CSF and Rituxan.

 

Administration of FavId requires an adjuvant to enhance the immune response. An adjuvant is a substance that is used to enhance the immune response. We use a white blood cell growth factor known as GM-CSF, which is commercially available solely from Berlex Laboratories, Inc., as an adjuvant for FavId. We currently rely on purchase orders to purchase GM-CSF for use in our clinical trials and do not have a supply agreement with Berlex. GM-CSF is an FDA-approved and commercially available drug that may be purchased by physicians. Our current strategy for the initial commercialization of FavId involves the administration of FavId following treatment with Rituxan. Rituxan is a passive immunotherapy for patients with NHL, which is also FDA-approved and is commercially available solely from Genentech, Inc. and Biogen Idec Inc. We currently rely on physicians to order and administer Rituxan to patients prior to the administration of FavId in our registration trial. If GM-CSF or Rituxan were to become unavailable as a result of regulatory actions, supply constraints or other reasons, our ability to continue the clinical development of FavId would be jeopardized.

 

Risks Related to Our Financial Results and Need for Financing

 

We have incurred significant operating losses since inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur substantial losses and negative cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future.

 

We are a development stage company with a limited operating history. We have financed our operations through private placements of preferred stock, an initial public offering of our common stock, and equipment and leasehold debt financing. We have incurred losses in each year since our inception in 2000. Net losses were $8.5 million and $26.3 million for the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2005, respectively; $7.3 million and $18.4 million for the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2004, respectively; and $26.0 million, $13.3 million, $7.2 million, $3.8 million and $1.0 million for 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. As of September 30, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of $105.8 million. These losses, among other things, have had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and working capital. We expect to incur substantial operating losses for at least the next several years. This is due primarily to the expansion of our clinical trials and research and development programs and, to a lesser extent, general and administrative expenses. We also have substantial lease and debt obligations related to our manufacturing and headquarters facilities impacting our operating expenses. We expect that our losses will fluctuate from quarter to quarter and that these fluctuations may be substantial. We cannot guarantee that we will successfully develop, manufacture, commercialize or market any products. As a result, we cannot guarantee that we will ever achieve or sustain product revenues or profitability.

 

We currently have no source of revenue and may never become profitable.

 

Our ability to become profitable will depend upon our ability to generate revenue. To date, FavId has not generated any revenue, and we do not know when or if FavId will generate revenue. Our ability to generate revenue depends on a number of factors, including our ability to:

 

successfully complete clinical trials for FavId;

 

obtain regulatory approval for FavId, including regulatory approval for our commercial scale manufacturing facility and process;

 

manufacture commercial quantities of FavId at acceptable cost levels; and

 

17



 

successfully market and sell FavId.

 

We do not anticipate that we will generate revenues until 2008, at the earliest. Further, we do not expect to achieve profitability for at least several years after generating material revenues. If we are unable to generate revenue, we will not become profitable, and we may be unable to continue our operations.

 

We will need substantial additional funds to continue operations, which we may not be able to raise on favorable terms, or at all.

 

We will need substantial additional funds for existing and planned preclinical studies and clinical trials, to continue research and development activities, for lease and debt obligations related to our manufacturing and headquarter facilities, and to establish manufacturing and marketing capabilities for any products we may develop. In addition, because we do not expect to generate revenues from the sale of our product candidates for several years, or at all, we will also need to raise additional capital to fund our operations.

 

We anticipate our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments to be in the range of $33 million to $34 million at December 31, 2005. We will need to raise additional funds in order to commercialize FavId, including the completion of the construction and qualification of a commercial scale manufacturing facility. Our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary as a result of a number of factors, including the factors discussed elsewhere in this “Factors that May Affect Future Operating Results” section of this report. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect.

 

Our future capital requirements or the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

 

magnitude and cost of our product development efforts and other research and development activities;

 

rate of progress toward obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;

 

costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing our patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

 

our ability to establish and maintain collaborative, licensing or other arrangements for the development, sale, marketing or distribution of our product candidates and the terms of those arrangements;

 

effects of competing technological and market developments;.

 

the cost of expansion of our current facility for commercial production or the construction of a large separate commercial-scale production facility; and

 

the success of the commercialization of FavId.

 

Future capital requirements will also depend on the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies, but we currently have no commitments or agreements relating to any of these types of transactions.

 

We may seek to access the public or private equity markets whenever conditions are favorable, even if we do not have an immediate need for additional capital at that time. Additional funding may not be available to us, and, if available, may not be on acceptable terms. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, stockholders will incur immediate dilution. If adequate funds are not available to us, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our research, development and clinical activities. Alternatively, we may need to seek funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or others that require us to relinquish rights to technologies or product candidates that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.

 

18



 

We are recording non-cash compensation expense that may result in an increase of our net losses for a given period.

 

Stock-based compensation represents an expense associated with the recognition of the difference between the deemed fair value of common stock at the time of an option grant or stock issuance and the option exercise price or price paid for the stock. Stock-based compensation is amortized over the vesting period of the option or issuance. As of September 30, 2005, deferred stock-based compensation related to option grants to our employees and non-employee directors totaled $6.4 million, which is being amortized to expense on a straight-line basis as the options or stock are earned, generally over a period of four years. Options granted to consultants, if any, for compensation purposes, must be remeasured at each reporting date during the vesting period. The remeasurement and the corresponding effect on the related expense may result in an increase in net losses for a given period.

 

Other Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

 

We currently depend on single source suppliers for critical raw materials for manufacturing. The loss of these suppliers could delay our clinical trials or prevent or delay commercialization of FavId.

 

We currently depend on single source suppliers for critical raw materials used in the manufacture of FavId. In particular, our manufacturing process for FavId requires a foreign protein derived from shellfish that is known as keyhole limpet hemocyanin, or KLH. We purchase KLH from biosyn Arzneimittel GmbH, or biosyn, which is currently the only supplier of KLH that has submitted the required filing, known as a drug master file, to the FDA. In November 2004, we entered into an eight-year supply and license agreement with biosyn under which biosyn has agreed to supply us with KLH and we have committed to annual KLH purchase requirements. An additional aggregate of up to $300,000 will be due upon the achievement of certain milestones, the timing of which is not known at this time. Either party may terminate the supply agreement upon a breach by the other party that is not cured within 60 days or other events relating to insolvency or bankruptcy. If we identify another supplier of KLH of suitable quality for our purposes, we will not be able to use the supplier as a second source of KLH for the commercial manufacture of FavId unless the KLH is tested to be comparable to the existing KLH.

 

In addition, we depend on a single source supplier for the cell growth media we use to produce FavId. We purchase this material from Expression Systems LLC, which in turn obtains several of the components used in the cell growth media from sole suppliers. We currently rely on purchase orders to obtain this material and do not have a supply agreement with Expression Systems. We intend to qualify a second source for the cell growth media but may not be able to do so.

 

Establishing additional or replacement suppliers for these materials may take a substantial amount of time. In addition, we may have difficulty obtaining similar materials from other suppliers that are acceptable to the FDA. If we have to switch to a replacement supplier, we may face additional regulatory delays and the manufacture and delivery of FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop, could be interrupted for an extended period of time, which may delay completion of our clinical trials or commercialization. If we are unable to obtain adequate amounts of these materials, our clinical trials will be delayed. In addition, we will be required to obtain regulatory clearance from the FDA to use different materials that may not be as safe or as effective. As a result, regulatory approval of FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop, may not be received at all.

 

We rely on third parties to conduct our clinical trials. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or meet expected deadlines, we may be delayed or may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize FavId or any other product candidates that we may develop.

 

Our pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of FavId for the treatment of follicular B-cell NHL is being conducted at 65 or more sites in the United States and will require at least 342 evaluable patients. Two clinical trials of FavId are being conducted under the direction of a physician sponsor, rather than under our supervision. We do not have the ability to independently conduct clinical trials for FavId, or any other product candidate that we may develop, and we must rely on third parties, such as medical institutions and clinical investigators, including physician sponsors, to conduct our clinical trials. In particular, we will rely on these parties to recruit and enroll patients in our clinical trials. We also rely on third-party couriers to transport patient tissue samples and FavId. If any of the third parties upon whom we rely to conduct our clinical trials or transport patient tissue samples and immunotherapies do not comply with applicable laws, successfully carry out their obligations or meet expected deadlines, and need to be replaced, our clinical trials may be extended, delayed or terminated.

 

19



 

If the quality or accuracy of the clinical data obtained by medical institutions and clinical investigators, including physician sponsors, is compromised due to their failure to adhere to applicable laws or our clinical protocols or for other reasons, we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or successfully commercialize FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop. If any of our relationships with any of these organizations or individuals terminates, we believe that we would be able to enter into arrangements with alternative third parties. However, replacing any of these third parties would delay our clinical trials and could jeopardize our ability to commercialize FavId and our other product candidates on a timely basis, or at all.

 

Even if we obtain regulatory approval, we will continue to be subject to extensive government regulation that may cause us to delay the introduction of our products or withdraw our products from the market.

 

Even if we obtain regulatory approval for FavId or our other product candidates, we will still be subject to extensive regulation. These regulations will impact many aspects of our operations, including production, record keeping, quality control, adverse event reporting, storage, labeling, advertising, promotion and personnel. In addition, the later discovery of previously unknown problems may result in restrictions of the product candidates, including their withdrawal from the market. Furthermore, regulatory approval may subject us to ongoing requirements for post-marketing studies. If we or any third party that we involve in our operations fail to comply with any continuing regulations, we may be subject to, among other things, product seizures, recalls, fines or other civil penalties, injunctions, suspensions or revocations of marketing licenses, operating restrictions and criminal prosecution.

 

Before we can obtain marketing approval for or commercially distribute FavId, we must have a commercial-scale facility for the manufacture of FavId.  In addition, the FDA and the California Department of Health Services must find our manufacturing facility and process satisfactory.

 

Our manufacturing methods, equipment and processes must comply with the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMP, requirements. We may also need to perform extensive audits of vendors, contract laboratories and suppliers. The cGMP requirements govern, among other things, record keeping, production processes and controls, personnel and quality control. We have only undertaken initial steps towards achieving compliance with these regulatory requirements. Additional steps will require expenditure of significant time, money and effort. We cannot predict the likelihood that the FDA will find our facility satisfactory, even if we believe that we have taken the necessary steps to achieve compliance. If we fail to comply with these requirements or fail to pass a pre-approval inspection of our manufacturing facility in connection with an application to obtain marketing approval for FavId or another product candidate, we would not receive regulatory approval, and we would be subject to possible regulatory action.

 

We manufacture FavId for our ongoing Phase 3 and for the planned and ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trials at our facility in San Diego. We currently lease approximately 80,000 square feet of space in a facility in San Diego, California under long-term lease agreements, including approximately 17,000 square feet of space that we began leasing in August 2005.  This space is used for our corporate headquarters and manufacturing and laboratory facilities.  Our manufacturing facility consists of approximately 26,000 square feet of space in the facility. Our manufacturing facility is subject to the licensing requirements of the California Department of Health Services. Our facility was inspected and licensed by the California Department of Health Services. Our facility is subject to re-inspection at any time. Failure to maintain a license from the California Department of Health Services or to meet the inspection criteria of the California Department of Health Services would disrupt our manufacturing processes and prevent us from supplying FavId to patients. If an inspection by the California Department of Health Services indicates that there are deficiencies in our manufacturing process, we could be required to take remedial actions at potentially significant expense, and our facility may be temporarily or permanently closed.

 

We will need to either expand and qualify our current facility or construct and qualify a commercial scale manufacturing facility in order to commercialize FavId or any other product candidates that we may develop. We believe our current facility, as expanded in August 2005, could be used to manufacture FavId for initial commercial launch. We cannot assure you that we would be able to meet commercial demand for FavId in this facility.  Additionally, we may require a larger production facility to meet the demand for FavId if it is approved.  We would need to raise additional debt or equity capital to finance either facility.  Such financing may not be available or, if available, may not be obtained on terms favorable to us or our stockholders.

 

Preparing a facility for commercial manufacturing may involve unanticipated delays and the costs of complying with FDA regulations may be significant. In addition, any material changes we make to the manufacturing process after approval may require approval by the FDA and state regulatory authorities. Obtaining these approvals is a lengthy, involved process, and we may experience delays that could limit our ability to manufacture commercial quantities, increase our costs and adversely affect our business.

 

20



 

We may experience difficulties in manufacturing FavId or any other product candidates that we may develop, which could prevent us from completing our ongoing clinical trials and commercializing these product candidates.

 

Manufacturing FavId is a complex, multi-step process that requires us to expend significant time, money and effort in production, record keeping and quality systems to assure that FavId will meet product specifications and other regulatory requirements. To date, we have manufactured FavId only for use in Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials and have no experience in manufacturing FavId for the commercial quantities that might be required if we receive regulatory approval. In particular, we cannot be sure that we will be able to manufacture FavId at a cost that would enable commercial use. We may experience any of the following problems in our efforts to manufacture our product candidates for our expanding clinical trials or on a commercial scale:

 

failure to obtain a sufficient supply of key raw materials;

 

difficulties in completing the development and validation of the specialized assays required to ensure the consistency of our product candidates, including FavId;

 

difficulties in obtaining adequate tumor samples from treating physicians and hospitals;

 

difficulties in manufacturing FavId for multiple patients simultaneously;

 

difficulties in the timely shipping of tumor samples to us or in the shipping of FavId to the treating physicians due to errors by third-party couriers, transportation restrictions or other reasons;

 

failure to ensure adequate quality control and assurance in the manufacturing process as we increase the production quantities of FavId;

 

difficulties in establishing and effectively managing a commercial-scale manufacturing facility;

 

failure to comply with regulatory requirements, such as FDA regulations and environmental laws;

 

significant changes in regulatory requirements;

 

damage to or destruction of our manufacturing facility or equipment; and

 

shortages of qualified personnel.

 

In addition, because our manufacturing process only begins upon our receipt of a patient’s tumor biopsy, we cannot produce inventory reserves of our product candidate to be stored in anticipation of any of these potential manufacturing problems. The failure to produce an adequate supply of FavId could delay our clinical trials and, in turn, delay submission of a BLA for FavId and commercial launch. Similarly, any difficulties we experience in the manufacture and supply of other product candidates, such as FAV-201, would delay the clinical trials of those product candidates.

 

If our manufacturing facility is damaged or destroyed, our ability to manufacture products will be significantly affected, which could delay or prevent completion of our clinical trials and commercialization of FavId or any other product candidates that we may develop.

 

We currently rely on the availability and condition of our manufacturing facility in San Diego to manufacture FavId. We lease the property where this facility is located under a lease agreement that expires August 31, 2018, but may be extended at our option for two additional five-year periods. After that time, we may not be able to negotiate a new lease for our facility. If the facility or our equipment in the facility is damaged or destroyed, we will not be able to quickly or inexpensively replace our manufacturing capacity. This would significantly affect our ability to complete clinical trials of, and to manufacture and commercialize, FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop.

 

21



 

In addition, our facilities have been subject to electrical blackouts as a result of a shortage of available electrical power. Although we have back-up emergency power generators to cover energy needs for key support systems, a lengthy outage could disrupt the operations of our facilities and clinical trials. While we carry business interruption insurance, this insurance may not be adequate. Any significant business interruption could cause delays in our product development and harm our business.

 

If we do not develop a sufficient sales and marketing force or enter into agreements with third parties to sell and market FavId, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our products, which would limit our ability to earn product revenues.

 

We plan to retain exclusive worldwide rights to FavId for oncology indications at least through the completion of our BLA filing with the FDA for approval to market FavId in the United States. If we are successful in obtaining BLA approval or foreign marketing approval for FavId, we will need to establish sales and marketing capabilities. In the United States, we plan to do this either by establishing our own sales force or by entering into a co-promotion arrangement with a sales and distribution partner. Outside of the United States, we plan to establish strategic collaborations for the development and marketing of FavId.

 

We do not presently possess the resources or experience necessary to market FavId or our other product candidates ourselves, and we currently have no arrangements for the promotion or distribution of our product candidates. Our future commercial success will depend on our ability to establish our own sales and marketing infrastructure or to collaborate with third parties that have greater sales and marketing experience and resources. Developing effective internal sales and marketing capabilities, which would include the hiring of a sales force, would require a significant amount of our financial resources and time.

 

We may be unable to establish and manage an effective sales force in a timely or cost-effective manner, or at all, and any sales force we do establish may not be capable of generating demand for FavId or any other product candidate we may develop. In addition, if we cannot enter into co-promotion arrangements in the United States, or other strategic collaborations for the development and marketing of FavId in other countries, in a timely manner and on acceptable terms, we may not be able to successfully commercialize FavId or any other product candidate that we may develop.

 

To the extent that we enter into arrangements with third parties to perform sales, marketing and distribution services, our product revenues are likely to be lower than if we directly marketed and sold FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop. If we are unable to establish adequate sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, independently or with others, we will not be able to generate product revenue and will not become profitable.

 

If physicians and patients do not use any of our products that may be approved, our ability to generate revenue in the future will be limited.

 

If approved, FavId and other product candidates that we may develop may not gain market acceptance among physicians, healthcare payors, patients and the medical community. Demand for any approved product that we may develop will depend on many factors, including:

 

our ability to provide acceptable evidence of safety and efficacy;

 

convenience and ease of administration;

 

availability of alternative treatments;

 

cost effectiveness;

 

continuing widespread use of Rituxan to treat our initial target disease market;

 

effectiveness of our regulatory and marketing strategies;

 

prevalence and severity of adverse side effects;

 

22



 

publicity concerning our products or competitive products; and

 

our ability to obtain third-party coverage or reimbursement.

 

Furthermore, to the extent FavId fails to gain market acceptance for its initial indication, it may be more difficult for us to generate sufficient credibility with physicians and patients to commercialize FavId for other indications.

 

If we are unable to obtain acceptable prices or adequate coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors for FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop, our revenues and prospects for profitability will suffer.

 

Our ability to commercialize FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop, depends on the extent to which coverage and reimbursement for FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop, will be available from:

 

governmental payors, such as Medicare and Medicaid;

 

private health insurers, including managed care organizations; and

 

other third-party payors.

 

Many patients will not be capable of paying for FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop, themselves and will rely on third-party payors to pay for their medical needs. The federal and state governments, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other third-party payors are actively seeking to contain or reduce costs of health care in the United States and exert increasing influence on decisions regarding the use of, and reimbursement levels for, particular treatments. Such third-party payors, including Medicare, are scrutinizing newly approved medical products and services and may not cover or may limit coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates. In particular, third-party payors may limit the indications for which they will reimburse patients who use FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop. Cost-control initiatives could cause us to decrease the price we might establish for FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop, which would result in lower product revenues. If the prices for FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop, decrease or if governmental and other third-party payors do not provide adequate coverage and reimbursement levels for FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop, our revenue and prospects for profitability will suffer.

 

If we are unable to establish or manage strategic collaborations in the future, our revenue and product development may be limited.

 

Our strategy may include reliance on strategic collaborations for co-promotion of FavId in the United States. In addition, we expect to rely on strategic collaborators for commercialization of FavId outside of the United States and, to an even greater extent, for worldwide development and commercialization of product candidates and programs for chronic autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis. To date, we have not entered into any agreements with third parties for any of these services and do not plan to establish a collaboration for FavId until at least completion of a BLA filing.

 

Establishing strategic collaborations is difficult and time-consuming. Our discussions with potential collaborators may not lead to the establishment of new collaborations on favorable terms, or at all. For example, potential partners may reject collaborations based upon their assessment of our financial, regulatory or intellectual property position. If we successfully establish new collaborations, these relationships may never result in the successful development or commercialization of our product candidates or the generation of sales revenue. To the extent that we enter into co-promotion or other collaborative arrangements, our product revenues are likely to be lower than if we directly marketed and sold any products that we may develop.

 

Management of any collaborative relationship we may establish in the future will require:

 

significant time and effort from our management team;

 

coordination of our research and development programs with the research and development priorities of our collaborators; and

 

effective allocation of our resources to multiple projects.

 

23



 

If we enter into development or commercialization collaborations, our success will in part depend on the performance of our corporate collaborators. We will not directly control the amount or timing of resources devoted by our corporate collaborators to activities related to our product candidates. Our corporate collaborators may not commit sufficient resources to our research and development programs or the commercialization, marketing or distribution of our product candidates. If any corporate collaborator fails to commit sufficient resources, our preclinical or clinical development related to the collaboration could be delayed or terminated. Also, our collaborators may pursue development or commercialization of other products, product candidates or alternative technologies in preference to our product candidates. Finally, our collaborators may terminate our relationships, and we may be unable to establish additional corporate collaborations in the future on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

Our efforts to discover, develop and commercialize new product candidates beyond FavId are at an early stage and are subject to a high risk of failure.

 

Our strategy is focused on the research, development and commercialization of targeted immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and other diseases of the immune system. The process of successfully developing product candidates is very time-consuming, expensive and unpredictable. We have only recently begun to direct significant effort toward the development of product candidates in addition to FavId, such as FAV-201 for T-cell lymphoma and a preclinical product candidate for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. We do not know whether our planned preclinical studies or clinical trials for these other product candidates will begin on time or be completed on schedule, or at all. In addition, we do not know whether these clinical trials will result in marketable products. Typically, there is a high rate of attrition for product candidates in preclinical and clinical trials. We do not anticipate that any of our product candidates will reach the market for at least several years.

 

We may not identify, develop or commercialize any additional new product candidates from our proprietary active immunotherapy technology. Our ability to develop successfully any of these product candidates depends on our ability to demonstrate safety and efficacy in humans through extensive preclinical testing and clinical trials and to obtain regulatory approval from the FDA and other regulatory authorities. Development of our product candidates will also depend substantially upon the availability of funding for our research and development programs.

 

If our competitors develop and market products that are more effective than our existing product candidates or others we may develop, or obtain marketing approval before we do, our commercial opportunity may be reduced or eliminated.

 

The development and commercialization of new pharmaceutical products for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases is competitive, and we will face competition from numerous sources, including major pharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial and technical resources and development, production and marketing capabilities than we do. In addition, many of these companies have more experience than we do in preclinical testing, clinical trials and manufacturing of biologic therapeutics, as well as in obtaining FDA and foreign regulatory approvals. We will also compete with academic institutions, governmental agencies and private organizations that are conducting research in the fields of cancer and autoimmune disease. Competition among these entities to recruit and retain highly qualified scientific, technical and professional personnel and consultants is also intense.

 

We are aware of a number of companies that are developing active immunotherapies to treat B-cell NHL. Genitope Corporation is evaluating its idiotype immunotherapy product candidate in a Phase 3 clinical trial in patients with follicular B-cell NHL who are in remission following prior treatment with chemotherapy. Antigenics, Inc. completed a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating its active immunotherapy candidate in indolent NHL patients. The NCI is also conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial of an active idiotype immunotherapy in collaboration with Accentia Biopharmaceuticals.

 

Several companies are engaged in the development and commercialization of passive immunotherapy products for the treatment of B-cell NHL that may compete with FavId. Genentech and Biogen Idec are co-marketing Rituxan for the treatment of relapsed or refractory, indolent B-cell NHL. Biogen Idec has also received FDA approval to market Zevalin, its passive radioimmunotherapy product. GlaxoSmithKline plc has received FDA approval to market Bexxar, a passive radioimmunotherapy product.

 

24



 

The most recent advances in the treatment of B-cell NHL have involved the combination of existing products and changes to approved schedules and doses, particularly for Rituxan. Numerous clinical trials reported in recent years have indicated that additional doses of Rituxan and maintenance dosing of Rituxan can improve TTP in patients who respond to therapy. Combination therapies involving chemotherapeutic or immunostimulatory drugs in combination with Rituxan at various doses and schedules may provide patients with an increase in TTP over that expected with Rituxan alone. Accordingly, we may face competition as a result of developments in this area.

 

We expect that our ability to compete effectively will depend upon our ability to:

 

successfully and rapidly complete clinical trials and obtain all requisite regulatory approvals in a cost-effective manner;

 

reliably and cost-effectively manufacture sufficient quantities of our products;

 

maintain a proprietary position for our manufacturing process and other technology;

 

price our products competitively;

 

obtain appropriate reimbursement approvals for our products;

 

establish an adequate sales and marketing force for our products; and

 

attract and retain key personnel.

 

In addition, our ability to compete effectively will depend on the relative efficacy and safety of other active immunotherapy products approved for sale as compared to our own products.

 

We are subject to new legislation, regulatory proposals and managed care initiatives that may increase our costs of compliance and adversely affect our ability to market our products, obtain collaborators and raise capital.

 

There have been a number of legislative and regulatory proposals aimed at changing the healthcare system and pharmaceutical industry, including reductions in the cost of prescription products and changes in the levels at which consumers and healthcare providers are reimbursed for purchases of pharmaceutical products. For example, the Prescription Drug and Medicare Improvement Act of 2003 was recently enacted. This legislation provides a new Medicare prescription drug benefit beginning in 2006 and mandates other reforms. Although we cannot predict the full effects on our business of the implementation of this new legislation, it is possible that the new benefit, which will be managed by private health insurers, pharmacy benefit managers and other managed care organizations, will result in decreased reimbursement for prescription drugs, which may further exacerbate industry-wide pressure to reduce the prices charged for prescription drugs. This could harm our ability to market our products and generate revenues.

 

We depend on attracting and retaining key scientific and management personnel to advance our technology, and the loss of these personnel could impair the development of our products.

 

Our success depends on our continued ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified management, clinical and scientific personnel and on our ability to develop and maintain important relationships with leading academic institutions, clinicians and scientists. We are highly dependent upon our senior management and scientific staff, particularly John P. Longenecker, Ph.D., our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Daniel P. Gold, Ph.D., one of our co-founders and our Chief Scientific Officer. The loss of services of Dr. Longenecker or Dr. Gold, or one or more of our other members of senior management, could delay or prevent the successful completion of our pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial or the commercialization of FavId. Although we have employment agreements with each of our executives, their employment with us is “at will,” and each executive can terminate his or her agreement with us at any time. We do not carry “key person” insurance covering members of senior management, other than Drs. Longenecker and Gold. This insurance may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms and may prove inadequate to compensate us for the loss of their services.

 

25



 

The competition for qualified personnel in the biotechnology field is intense. In particular, our manufacturing process depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified manufacturing and quality control personnel. We will need to hire additional personnel as we continue to expand our manufacturing, research and development activities. We may not be able to attract and retain quality personnel on acceptable terms given the competition for such personnel among biotechnology, pharmaceutical and other companies. We are not aware of any key personnel planning to retire or terminate their employment in the near future.

 

We will need to increase the size of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing growth.

 

As of September 30, 2005, we had 133 employees. Of these, 113 employees were in research and development comprised of 78 in manufacturing, quality control and quality assurance, 30 in research and process development, and five members of senior management.  Of the remaining employees, two were members of senior management and 18 were in administration. We will need to expand our financial, managerial, operational and other resources in order to continue our clinical trials and commercialize FavId, FAV-201, or any other product candidates that we may develop. Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on our management team, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate additional employees. Our ability to commercialize FavId, FAV-201, or any other product candidates that we may develop, and our future financial performance in general, will depend in part on our ability to manage any future growth effectively. In order to meet these challenges, we will need to:

 

manage our clinical trials effectively;

 

manage our research and development efforts effectively;

 

develop our administrative, accounting and management information systems and controls; and

 

hire, train and integrate additional management, administrative, manufacturing and sales and marketing personnel.

 

We may not be able to accomplish these tasks, and our failure to accomplish any of them could harm our business or future prospects.

 

If we use biological and hazardous materials in a manner that causes injury or violates laws, we may be liable for damages.

 

Our research and development and manufacturing activities involve the use of biological and hazardous materials that could be dangerous to human health, safety or the environment. Although we believe our safety procedures for handling and disposing of these materials comply with federal, state and local laws and regulations, we cannot entirely eliminate the risk of accidental injury or contamination from the use, storage, handling or disposal of these materials. In the event of contamination or injury, we could be held liable for any resulting damages, and any liability could exceed our resources. We currently maintain property and casualty insurance coverage which covers liability for hazardous and controlled materials. However, this insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover our liability and we may not be able to obtain sufficient coverage in the future at a reasonable cost. In addition, we may incur significant costs complying with both existing and future environmental laws and regulations. In particular, we are subject to regulation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, and the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, and to regulation under the Toxic Substances Control Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. OSHA, the EPA or other agencies may adopt regulations that adversely affect our research and development programs.

 

26



 

We face a risk of product liability claims and may not be able to obtain adequate insurance.

 

Our business exposes us to potential liability risks that may arise from the clinical testing of our product candidates and the manufacture and sale of any approved products. These risks will exist even with respect to those product candidates that are approved for commercial sale by the FDA and manufactured in facilities regulated by the FDA. Any product liability claim or series of claims brought against us could significantly harm our business by, among other things, reducing demand for our products, injuring our reputation and creating significant adverse media attention and costly litigation. Plaintiffs have received substantial damage awards in some jurisdictions against pharmaceutical companies based upon claims for injuries allegedly caused by the use of their products. Any judgment against us that is in excess of our insurance policy limits would have to be paid from our cash reserves, which would reduce our capital resources. We currently maintain clinical trial insurance , which covers liability for up to 561 patients in our clinical trials. Although we believe our current insurance coverage is adequate, we cannot be certain that it will be sufficient. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that our current insurance coverage will continue to be available, or that increased coverage, which will be necessary if we are able to commercialize our products, will be available in the future on reasonable terms, or at all. Further, we may not have sufficient capital resources to pay a judgment, in which case our creditors could levy claims against our assets, including our intellectual property.

 

We could be negatively impacted by future interpretation or implementation of federal and state fraud and abuse laws, including anti-kickback laws and other federal and state anti-referral laws.

 

If we are able to commercialize FavId or any other product candidates that we may develop, we will be subject to various federal and state laws pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse, including anti-kickback laws and physician self-referral laws. Violations of these laws are punishable by criminal and civil sanctions, including, in some instances, imprisonment and exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and Veterans Administration health programs. Because of the far-reaching nature of these laws, we may be required to alter one or more of our practices to be in compliance with these laws. Healthcare fraud and abuse regulations are complex, and even minor, inadvertent irregularities can potentially give rise to claims that a statute or prohibition has been violated. Any violations of these laws, or any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If there is a change in law, regulation or administrative or judicial interpretations, we may have to change our business practices or our existing business practices could be challenged as unlawful, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, some allegations under these laws have been claimed to violate the False Claims Act, discussed in more detail below.

 

In addition, if we are able to commercialize FavId or any other product candidates that we may develop, we could become subject to false claims litigation under federal statutes, which can lead to civil money penalties, criminal fines and imprisonment, and exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state healthcare programs. These false claims statutes include the False Claims Act, which allows any person to bring suit on behalf of the federal government alleging the submission of false or fraudulent claims, or causing to present such false or fraudulent claims, under federal programs or contracts claims or other violations of the statute and to share in any amounts paid by the entity to the government in fines or settlement. These suits against biotechnology companies have increased significantly in recent years and have increased the risk that a healthcare company will have to defend a false claim action, pay fines or be excluded from the Medicare, Medicaid or other federal and state healthcare programs as a result of an investigation arising out of such action. We cannot assure you that we will not become subject to such litigation or, if we are not successful in defending against such actions, that such actions will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we cannot assure you that the costs of defending claims or allegations under the False Claims Act will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property and Potential Litigation

 

If we are unable to obtain and maintain protection for our intellectual property, the value of our technology and products may be adversely affected.

 

Our business and competitive positions are dependent upon our ability to protect our proprietary technology. Our success will depend in large part on our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection for our product and technologies, preserve trade secrets and operate without infringing the intellectual property right of others. Because of the substantial length of time and expense associated with development of new products, we, along with the rest of the biopharmaceutical industry, place considerable importance on obtaining and maintaining patent protection for new technologies, products and processes. The patent positions of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, including us, are generally uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Our patent applications may not protect our technologies and products because, among other things:

 

there is no guarantee that any of our pending patent applications will result in issued patents;

we may develop additional proprietary technologies that are not patentable;

there is no guarantee that any patents issued to us, our collaborators or our licensors will provide a basis for a commercially viable product;

there is no guarantee that any patents issued to us or our collaborators or our licensors will provide us with any competitive advantage;

there is no guarantee that any patents issued to us or our collaborators or our licensors will not be challenged, circumvented or invalidated by third parties; and

there is no guarantee that any patents previously issued to others or issued in the future will not have an adverse effect on our ability to do business.

 

We attempt to protect our intellectual property position by filing United States patent applications related to our proprietary technology, inventions and improvements that are important to the development of our business. Currently we own one issued U.S. Patent and four pending United States patent applications covering methods of treating immune system diseases, including B-cell and T-cell lymphomas, using our proprietary immunotherapy production methods, as well as methods for combining the idiotype immunotherapies with other therapies that are used to treat diseases of the immune system.

 

We also have 22 patent applications pending outside of the United States, and have received notices that four of these applications will issue as patents. Limitations on patent protection in some countries outside the United States, and the differences in what constitutes patentable subject matter in these countries, may limit the protection we have under patents issued to us outside of the United States. In addition, laws of foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property to the same extent as would laws of the United States. In determining whether or not to seek a patent or to license any patent in a particular foreign country, we weigh the relevant costs and benefits, and consider, among other things, the market potential of our product candidates in the jurisdiction, and the scope and enforceability of patent protection afforded by the law of the jurisdiction. Failure to obtain adequate patent protection for our proprietary product candidates and technology would impair our ability to be commercially competitive in these markets.

 

Although we believe our issued patent, as well as our patent applications if they issue as patents, will provide a competitive advantage, we may not be able to develop additional patentable products or processes.  Further, we may not be able to obtain patents from any of the pending applications. Even if patent claims are allowed, the claims may not issue, or in the event of issuance, may not be sufficient to protect our technology. In addition, any patents or patent rights we obtain may be circumvented, challenged or invalidated by our competitors.

 

We are not able to prevent others, including potential competitors, from using certain types of patient-specific idiotype protein-KLH conjugates, like those we use in our lead product candidate, FavId, for the treatment of indolent B-cell NHL.

 

Certain types of patient-specific idiotype-KLH conjugates, comprising single idiotype proteins, and their use for the treatment of indolent B-cell NHL are in the public domain and therefore cannot be patented. Consequently, we may only be able to seek patent protection for methods of treating immune system diseases, including B-cell and T-cell lymphomas, using our proprietary immunotherapy production methods for making idiotype protein conjugates and compositions comprising such conjugates, as well as methods for combining the idiotype or T-cell receptor-based immunotherapies with other therapies that are used to treat diseases of the immune system. As a result, we may not be able to prevent other companies using different manufacturing processes from developing active immunotherapies that directly compete with FavId.

 

28



 

We may have to engage in costly litigation to enforce our proprietary rights or to defend challenges to our intellectual property by our competitors, which may harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

 

The pharmaceutical field is characterized by a large number of patent filings involving complex legal and factual questions, and, therefore, we cannot predict with certainty whether our patents will be enforceable. Competitors may have filed applications for or have been issued patents and may obtain additional patents and proprietary rights related to products or processes that compete with or are similar to ours. We may not be aware of all of the patents potentially adverse to our interests that may have been issued to others. Litigation may be necessary to protect our patent position, and we cannot be certain that we will have the required resources to pursue litigation or otherwise to protect our patent rights. In addition, our efforts to protect our patents may not be successful.

 

Our ability to market our products may be impaired by the intellectual property rights of third parties.

 

Our commercial success will depend in part on not infringing the patents or proprietary rights of third parties. We are aware of competing intellectual property relating to active idiotype immunotherapies for cancer. Competitors or third parties may be issued, or may currently hold, patents that may cover subject matter that we use in developing the technology required to bring our product candidates to market, that we use in producing our product candidates, or that we use in treating patients with our product candidates. In addition, from time to time we receive correspondence inviting us to license patents from third parties. While we currently believe we have freedom to operate in these areas, others may challenge our position in the future. There has been, and we believe that there will continue to be, significant litigation in the pharmaceutical industry regarding patent and other intellectual property rights.

 

While we believe that our pre-commercialization activities fall within the scope of an available exemption against patent infringement provided by 35 U.S.C. §271(e), and that our subsequent manufacture of our commercial products will also not require the license of any of these patents, claims may be brought against us in the future based on these or other patents held by others. As our product candidates progress toward commercialization, competitors or other parties may assert that we infringe on their patents or proprietary rights.

 

In particular, we are aware of the following third party patents:

 

                                          Genentech and City of Hope National Medical Center hold patent rights related to the expression of recombinant antibodies;

                                          Genitope holds patent rights relating to immunotherapy using idiotype proteins produced using T-lymphoid cells for the treatment of B-Cell lymphoma;

                                          Schering Corp. holds patent rights relating to the use of GM-CSF as a vaccine adjuvant for use against infectious diseases.

 

The first patent listed above was issued to Genentech in 2001. We do not believe that this patent covers our technology, and we note that in May 2005, a third party filed a request for reexamination of this patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, requesting that the claims of this patent be reexamined as to their patentability. If we decide to attempt to obtain a license for this patent, we cannot guarantee that we would be able to obtain such a license on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

 

Additionally, because patent prosecution can proceed in secret prior to issuance of a patent, third parties may obtain other patents with claims of unknown scope relating to our product candidates, prior to the issuance of patents, which they could attempt to assert against us. Further, as we develop our products, we may infringe the current patents of third parties or patents that may issue in the future.  Third parties could bring legal actions against us claiming damages and seeking to enjoin clinical testing, manufacturing and marketing of the affected product or products. If we become involved in any litigation, it could consume a substantial portion of our resources, regardless of the outcome of the litigation. If any of these actions are successful, in addition to any potential liability for damages, we could be required to obtain a license to continue to manufacture or market the affected product, in which case we may be required to pay substantial royalties or grant cross-licenses to our patents. However, there can be no assurance that any such license will be available on acceptable terms or at all. To enforce patents issued to us or to determine the scope and validity of other parties’ proprietary rights, we may also become involved in litigation or in interference proceedings declared by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which could result in substantial costs to us, regardless of the outcome of the litigation, or an adverse decision as to the priority of our inventions. Ultimately, we could be prevented from commercializing a product, or forced to cease some aspect of our business operations, as a result of patent infringement claims, which could harm our business.

 

29



 

If we are not able to protect and control unpatented trade secrets, know-how and other technological innovation, we may suffer competitive harm.

 

We also rely on trade secrets to protect our technology, particularly when we do not believe that patent protection is appropriate or available. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. We attempt to protect our trade secrets by requiring each of our employees, consultants and advisors to execute a non-disclosure and assignment of invention agreement before beginning his or her employment, consulting or advisory relationship with us. We cannot guarantee that these agreements will provide meaningful protection, that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have an adequate remedy for any such breach, or that our trade secrets will not otherwise become known or independently developed by a third party. Our trade secrets, or those of our future collaborators, may become known or may be independently discovered by others, which could adversely affect the competitive position of our product candidates.

 

Risks Related to the Securities Markets and Ownership of Our Common Stock

 

There has been no prior public market for our common stock, and the price of our common stock may be volatile and could decline significantly.

 

Until our IPO in February 2005, there was no public market for our common stock, and despite our IPO, an active public market for these shares may not develop or be sustained. Our stock price has traded in the range of $7.50 - $3.31 from the commencement of our IPO on February 2, 2005 to October 31, 2005.

 

The stock market in general has been experiencing dramatic fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of companies. The market prices for securities of biotechnology companies in general have been highly volatile and may continue to be highly volatile in the future. If market-based or industry-based volatility continues, the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly, independent of our actual operating performance, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly as a result of several factors, including:

 

announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors;

 

announcement of FDA approval or non-approval of FavId or any other product candidates that we may develop, or delays in the FDA review process;

 

actions taken by regulatory agencies with respect to FavId and FAV-201, or any other product candidates that we may develop, or our clinical trials, manufacturing process or sales and marketing activities;

 

regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries;

 

success of our research efforts and clinical trials;

 

any intellectual property infringement lawsuit in which we may become involved;

 

announcements concerning our competitors, or the biotechnology or biopharmaceutical industries in general;

 

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

 

changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;

 

sales of large blocks of our common stock;

 

sales of our common stock by our executive officers, directors and significant stockholders;

 

changes in accounting principles; and

 

loss of any of our key scientific or management personnel.

 

30



 

Specifically, you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price you paid for such shares. In addition, class action litigation has often been instituted against companies whose securities have experienced periods of volatility in market price. Any such litigation brought against us could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could hurt our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Concentration of ownership among our existing officers, directors and principal stockholders may prevent other stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions and depress our stock price.

 

As of September 30, 2005, our officers, directors and those stockholders owning at least five percent of our outstanding capital stock together beneficially held approximately 71.5% of our outstanding common stock on an as-converted basis. If some or all of these officers, directors and principal stockholders act together, they will be able to exert a significant degree of influence over our management and affairs and over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, the merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and any other significant corporate transaction. The interests of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of our other stockholders. For instance, officers, directors and principal stockholders, acting together, could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise consider. Similarly, this concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us otherwise favored by our other stockholders. This concentration of ownership also could depress our stock price.

 

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and applicable Delaware law may prevent or discourage third parties or our stockholders from attempting to replace our management or influencing significant decisions.

 

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us or our management, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions include:

 

dividing our board of directors into three classes serving staggered three-year terms;

 

authorizing our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval;

 

prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors;

 

prohibiting stockholder actions by written consent;

 

limiting the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders;

 

prohibiting our stockholders from making certain changes to our certificate of incorporation or bylaws except with 66.7% stockholder approval; and

 

requiring advance notice for raising business matters or nominating directors at stockholders’ meetings.

 

We are also subject to provisions of the Delaware corporation law that, in general, prohibit any business combination with a beneficial owner of 15% or more of our common stock for five years unless the holder’s acquisition of our stock was approved in advance by our board of directors. Together, these charter and statutory provisions could make the removal of management more difficult and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our common stock.

 

Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

 

We have never paid or declared any cash dividends on our capital stock and intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. The payment of dividends by us on our common stock is limited by our debt agreements. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

 

31



 

We may incur increased costs as a result of recently enacted and proposed changes in laws and regulations.

 

Recently enacted and proposed changes in the laws and regulations affecting public companies, including the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules related to corporate governance and other matters subsequently adopted by the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market, could result in increased costs to us. The new rules and any related regulations that may be proposed in the future could make it more difficult or more costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers. We are presently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to new and proposed rules and cannot predict or estimate the amount of the additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. Some of the securities in which we invest may be subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the market value of the investment to fluctuate. To minimize this risk, we may maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of securities, including commercial paper, money market funds and direct or guaranteed obligations of the United States government. The risk associated with fluctuating interest rates is limited to our investment portfolio and we do not believe that a 1% change in interest rates would have a significant impact on our interest income. As of September 30, 2005, all of our short-term investments were government agency securities, corporate notes and bonds, and our cash equivalents were held in checking accounts and money market funds.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to cause material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Commission’s rules and forms.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2005, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting which materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION.

 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

 

We are currently not a party to any material legal proceeding. We may be subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

Our initial public offering of our common stock, par value $0.001, was effected through a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-114299) that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 2, 2005.  The Registration Statement covered the offer and sale of up to 6,900,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate offering price of $48.3 million.  Our initial public offering commenced on February 2, 2005.  On February 7, 2005, 6,000,000 shares of our common stock were sold for an aggregate offering price of $42.0 million.  On March 7, 2005, 285,000 shares of our common stock were sold for an aggregate offering price of $2.0 upon the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.  Our initial public offering terminated following the sale of all of the securities registered on the registration statement and the expiration of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.  Our initial public offering resulted in aggregate proceeds to us of approximately $39.5 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $3.1 million and offering expenses of approximately $1.4 million, through a syndicate of underwriters managed by Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., CIBC World Markets Corp., Needham & Company, Inc. and A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc.

 

32



 

No offering expenses were paid directly or indirectly to any of our directors or officers (or their associates) or person owning ten percent or more of any class of our equity securities or to any other affiliates.  All offering expenses were paid directly to others.

 

As of September 30, 2005, we had invested the $40.9 million in gross proceeds from the offering, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, in government agency securities, corporate bonds and notes and money market funds.  Through September 30, 2005, we have used approximately $4.2 million of the net proceeds from our initial public offering to fund $1.7 million of salaries expense, $1.0 million of payments to third-party vendor related to our pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial, $700,000 in raw materials and supplies to manufacture FavId, $500,000 for facility lease expense, and $500,000 to principal  payments on our debt obligations.

 

The foregoing payments were direct payments made to third parties who were not our directors of officers (of their associates), persons owning ten percent or more of any class of our equity securities or any other affiliate, except that the proceeds used for salaries expense inculded regular compensation for officers and directors.  The use of proceeds does not represent a material change from the use of proceeds described in the prospectus we filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 3, 2005.

5



 

(i)            To determine the provisions of each Option to the extent not specified in the Plan.

 

(ii)           To construe and interpret the Plan and Options granted under it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration.  The Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or in any Option Agreement, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make the Plan fully effective.

 

(iii)         To effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of any adversely affected Optionholder, (1) the reduction of the exercise price of any outstanding Option under the Plan, (2) the cancellation of any outstanding Option under the Plan and the grant in substitution therefor of (A) a new Option under the Plan or another equity plan of the Company covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock, (B) cash and/or (C) other valuable consideration (as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion), or (3) any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles.

(d)           Effect of Board’s Decision.  All determinations, interpretations and constructions made by the Board in good faith shall not be subject to review by any person and shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons.

 

4.             SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

 

(a)           Share Reserve.  Subject to the provisions of Section 11(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, the shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Options shall not exceed in the aggregate four hundred twenty thousand (420,000) shares of Common Stock plus an annual increase to be added on the first day of each Company fiscal year,

 

6



 

beginning in 2006 and ending in (and including) 2014, equal to the lesser of the following amounts: (i) ninety thousand (90,000) shares of Common Stock, or (ii) an amount determined by the Board.

 

(b)           Reversion of Shares to the Share Reserve.  If any Option shall for any reason expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without having been exercised in full, the shares of Common Stock not acquired under such Option shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan.  If any shares subject to an Option are not delivered to an Optionholder because such shares are withheld for the payment of taxes or the Option is exercised through a reduction of shares subject to the Option (i.e., “net exercised”), the number of shares that are not delivered to the Optionholder as a result thereof shall remain available for issuance under the Plan.  If the exercise price of an Option is satisfied by tendering shares of Common Stock held by the Optionholder (either by actual delivery or attestation), then the number of shares so tendered shall remain available for issuance under the Plan.

 

(c)           Source of Shares.  The shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan may be unissued shares or reacquired shares, bought on the market or otherwise.

 

5.             ELIGIBILITY.

 

The Options, as set forth in Section 6, automatically shall be granted under the Plan to all Non-Employee Directors who meet the criteria specified in Section 6.

 

6.             NON-DISCRETIONARY GRANTS.

 

(a)           Initial Grants.  Without any further action of the Board, each person who after the IPO Date is elected or appointed for the first time to be a Non-Employee Director automatically shall, upon the date of his or her initial election or appointment to be a Non-Employee Director, be granted an Initial Grant to purchase thirty-five thousand (35,000) shares of Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

(b)           Annual Grants. Without any further action of the Board, on the date of each Annual Meeting, commencing with the Annual Meeting in 2006, each person who is then a Non-Employee Director automatically shall be granted an Annual Grant to purchase eight thousand (8,000) shares of Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that if the person has not been serving as a Non-Employee Director for the entire period since the preceding Annual Meeting, then the number of shares subject to such Annual Grant shall be reduced pro rata for each full quarter prior to the date of grant during such period for which such person did not serve as a Non- Employee Director.

 

7.             OPTION PROVISIONS.

 

Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as required by the Plan.  Each Option shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Board shall deem appropriate.  Each Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

 

7



 

(a)           Term.  No Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date on which it was granted.

 

(b)           Exercise Price.  The exercise price of each Option shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted.

 

(c)           Consideration.  The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable law, either (i) in cash at the time the Option is exercised or (ii) at the discretion of the Board either at the time of the grant of the Option or subsequent thereto (1) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock at the time the Option is exercised, (2) by a “net exercise” of the Option (as further described below), (3) pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds or (4) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board.  Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Option, the purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option that is paid by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock acquired, directly or indirectly from the Company, shall be paid only by shares of the Common Stock of the Company that have been held for more than six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes).

 

In the case of a “net exercise” of an Option, the Company will not require a payment of the exercise price of the Option from the Participant but will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise by the largest number of whole shares that has a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price.  With respect to any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price, the Company shall accept a cash payment from the Participant.  Shares of Common Stock will no longer be outstanding under an Option (and will therefore not thereafter be exercisable) following the exercise of such Option to the extent of (i) shares used to pay the exercise price of an Option under a “net exercise”, (ii) shares actually delivered to the Participant as a result of such exercise and (iii) shares withheld for purposes of tax withholding.

 

(d)           Transferability.  An Option is transferable by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  An Option also may be transferable upon written consent of the Company if, at the time of transfer, a Form S-8 registration statement under the Securities Act is available for the exercise of the Option and the subsequent resale of the underlying securities.  In addition, an Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form provided by or otherwise satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

 

(e)           Vesting.  Options shall vest as follows:

 

(i)            Initial Grants:  1/36th of the shares of Common Stock subject to an Initial Grant shall vest monthly over three (3) years.

 

8



 

(ii)           Annual Grants:  1/12th of the shares of Common Stock subject to an Annual Grant shall vest monthly over one (1) year.

 

(f)            Termination of Continuous Service.  In the event that an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason, the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination of Continuous Service) but only within such period of time ending on the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement.  If, after termination of Continuous Service, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate.

 

8.             SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE.

 

The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Options and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Options; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Option or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Option.  If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of such Options unless and until such authority is obtained.

 

9.             USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK.

 

Proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Options shall constitute general funds of the Company.

 

10.          MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a)           Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting.  The Board shall have the power to accelerate the time at which an Option may first be exercised or the time during which an Option or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Plan or the Option stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.

 

(b)           Stockholder Rights.  No Optionholder shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Option unless and until such Optionholder has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Option pursuant to its terms.

 

(c)           No Service Rights.  Nothing in the Plan, any Option Agreement or other instrument executed thereunder or any Option granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Optionholder any right to continue to serve the Company as a Non-Employee Director or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant’s agreement with the Company or an Affiliate or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of

 

9



 

the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be.

 

(d)           Investment Assurances.  The Company may require an Optionholder, as a condition of exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any Option, (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Optionholder’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Option; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the Optionholder is acquiring the Common Stock subject to the Option for the Optionholder’s own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Stock.  The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, shall be inoperative if (1) the issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Option has been registered under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (2) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws.  The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Common Stock.

 

(e)           Withholding Obligations.  To the extent provided by the terms of an Option Agreement, the Company may in its sole discretion, satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to an Option by any of the following means (in addition to the Company’s right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means:  (i) causing the Optionholder to tender a cash payment; (ii) withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to the Optionholder in connection with the Option; or (iii) via such other method as may be set forth in the Option Agreement.

 

11.          ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK.

 

(a)           Capitalization Adjustments.  If any change is made in, or other event occurs with respect to, the Common Stock subject to the Plan, or subject to any Option, without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company (each a “Capitalization Adjustment”)), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject both to the Plan pursuant to Section 4 and to the nondiscretionary Options specified in Section 6, and the outstanding Options will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and number of securities and price per share of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Options.  The Board shall make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.  (Notwithstanding the foregoing, the

 

10



 

conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as a transaction “without receipt of consideration” by the Company.)

 

(b)           Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then all outstanding Options shall terminate immediately prior to the completion of such dissolution or liquidation.

 

(c)           Corporate Transaction.  In the event of a Corporate Transaction, any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may assume or continue any or all Options outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar stock options for Options outstanding under the Plan (including options to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders of the Company, as the case may be, pursuant to the Corporate Transaction).  In the event that any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation does not assume or continue all such outstanding Options or substitute similar stock options for all such outstanding Options, then with respect to Options that have been not assumed, continued or substituted and that are held by Optionholders whose Continuous Service has not terminated prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction, the vesting of such Options (and, if applicable, the time at which such Options may be exercised) shall (contingent upon the effectiveness of the Corporate Transaction) be accelerated in full to a date prior to the effective time of such Corporate Transaction as the Board shall determine (or, if the Board shall not determine such a date, to the date that is five (5) days prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction), and such Options shall terminate on the effective time of the Corporate Transaction if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to such effective time.  With respect to any other Options outstanding under the Plan that have not been assumed, continued or substituted, the vesting of such Options (and, if applicable, the time at which such Options may be exercised) shall not be accelerated, unless otherwise provided in a written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Optionholder, and such Options shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction.

 

(d)           Change in Control.  An Option may be subject to additional acceleration of vesting and exercisability upon or after a Change in Control as may be provided in the Option Agreement for such Option or as may be provided in any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Optionholder, but in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration shall occur.

 

12.          AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND OPTIONS.

 

(a)           Amendment of Plan.  Subject to the limitations, if any, of applicable law, the Board, at any time and from time to time, may amend the Plan.  However, except as provided in Section 11(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval is necessary to satisfy applicable law.

 

(b)           Stockholder Approval.  The Board, in its sole discretion, may submit any other amendment to the Plan for stockholder approval.

 

11



 

(c)           No Impairment of Rights.  Rights under any Option granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Optionholder and (ii) the Optionholder consents in writing.

 

(d)           Amendment of Options.  The Board, at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Options, including, but not limited to, amendments to provide terms more favorable than previously provided in the agreement evidencing an Option, subject to any specified limits in the Plan that are not subject to Board discretion; provided, however, that the rights under any Option shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Optionholder and (ii) the Optionholder consents in writing.

 

13.          TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN.

 

(a)           Plan Term.  The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No Options may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

 

(b)           No Impairment of Rights.  Suspension or termination of the Plan shall not impair rights and obligations under any Option granted while the Plan is in effect except with the written consent of the Optionholder.

 

14.          EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.

 

                The Plan shall become effective on the IPO Date, but no Option shall be exercised unless and until the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, which approval shall be within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.

 

15.          CHOICE OF LAW.

 

The law of the state of California shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to such state’s conflict of laws rules.

Exhibit 10.2

FAVRILLE, INC.
2005 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS’ STOCK OPTION PLAN

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
(NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION)

 

Pursuant to your Stock Option Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Stock Option Agreement, Favrille, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted you an option under its 2005 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock indicated in your Grant Notice at the exercise price indicated in your Grant Notice.  Defined terms not explicitly defined in this Stock Option Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan.

 

The details of your option are as follows:

 

1.             VESTING.  Subject to the limitations contained herein, your option will vest as provided in your Grant Notice, provided that vesting will cease upon the termination of your Continuous Service.  In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control (as such term is defined below), then the vesting and exercisability of fifty percent (50%) of the then unvested shares of Common Stock subject to your option (and last scheduled to vest thereunder) shall be accelerated in full (and any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to such acceleration shall lapse in full, as appropriate) thereby shortening the remaining vesting period by one half.  Any unvested shares of Common Stock subject to your option after such acceleration shall continue to vest at the same rate (and in the same amounts) as prior to such acceleration.  For example, assume at the time immediately prior to a Change in Control (i) the number of unvested shares of Common Stock subject to your option is thirty-six (36) shares and (ii) such shares are vesting monthly such that one (1) share is vesting each month.  In such event, following both a Change in Control and the related 50% acceleration described herein, the remaining unvested shares of Common Stock subject to your option (i.e., eighteen) shall continue to vest at the same rate (and in the same amounts) as prior to such acceleration (i.e., one share per month) over the remaining vesting period thereby shortening the vesting period provided in this example by eighteen months).  In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control (as such term is defined below) and if, within the period beginning as of the effective date of such Change in Control and ending twenty-four (24) months after the effective date of such Change in Control your Continuous Service terminates due to an involuntary termination thereof by the Company (not including death or Disability) without Cause, then the vesting and exercisability of the shares subject to your option that remain unvested as of the date of such termination of your Continuous Service shall be accelerated in full (and any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company with respect to Common Stock acquired pursuant to the early exercise of your option shall lapse, as appropriate).

 

1



 

                “Cause” means the occurrence of any of the following:  (i) your conviction of any felony or any crime involving fraud or dishonesty which has a material adverse effect on the Company and/or its Affiliates; (ii) your participation (whether by affirmative act or omission) in a fraud, act of dishonesty or other act of misconduct against the Company and/or its Affiliates; (iii) conduct by you which, based upon a good faith and reasonable factual investigation by the Board, demonstrates your gross unfitness to serve; (iv) your violation of any fiduciary duty or duty of loyalty owed to the Company and/or its Affiliates; (v) your breach of any material term of any material contract between you and the Company and/or its Affiliates which has a material adverse effect on the Company and/or its Affiliates; (vi) your repeated violation of any material Company policy which has a material adverse effect on the Company and/or its Affiliates; and (vii) your violation of state or federal law in connection with the performance of your job which has a material adverse effect on the Company and/or its Affiliates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, your death or Disability shall not constitute Cause as set forth herein.  The determination that a termination is for Cause shall be by the Board in its sole and exclusive judgment and discretion.

 

                For purposes of this Section 1 only, Change in Control means: (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity and in which the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting stock immediately prior to such transaction own, immediately after such transaction, securities representing less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the entity surviving such transaction or the surviving entity’s parent; (iii) a reverse merger in which the Company is the surviving entity but the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities of the surviving entity’s parent, cash or otherwise, and in which the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting stock immediately prior to such transaction own, immediately after such transaction, securities representing less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company or the Company’s parent entity immediately after such transaction; or (iv) an acquisition by any person, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act, or any comparable successor provisions (excluding any employee benefit plan, or related trust, sponsored or maintained by the Company or subsidiary of the Company or other entity controlled by the Company) of the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or comparable successor rule) of securities of the Company representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of Directors; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 1 shall apply to a sale of assets, merger or other transaction effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company.

 

2.             NUMBER OF SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE.  The number of shares of Common Stock subject to your option and your exercise price per share referenced in your Grant Notice may be adjusted from time to time for Capitalization Adjustments, as provided in the Plan.

 

3.             METHOD OF PAYMENT.  Payment of the exercise price is due in full upon exercise of all or any part of your option.  You may elect to make payment of the exercise price in cash or by check or in any other manner permitted by your Grant Notice, which may include one or more of the following:

 

2



 

(a)           In the Company’s sole discretion at the time your option is exercised and provided that at the time of exercise the Common Stock is publicly traded and quoted regularly in The Wall Street Journal, pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds.

 

(b)           Provided that at the time of exercise the Common Stock is publicly traded and quoted regularly in The Wall Street Journal, by delivery of already-owned shares of Common Stock either that you have held for the period required to avoid a charge to the Company’s reported earnings (generally six months) or that you did not acquire, directly or indirectly from the Company, that are owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, and that are valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise.  “Delivery” for these purposes, in the sole discretion of the Company at the time you exercise your option, shall include delivery to the Company of your attestation of ownership of such shares of Common Stock in a form approved by the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may not exercise your option by tender to the Company of Common Stock to the extent such tender would violate the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company’s stock.

 

(c)           Provided that at the time of exercise the Company has adopted FAS 123, as revised, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of your option by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price; provided, however, the Company shall accept a cash or other payment from you to the extent of any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price not satisfied by such holding back of whole shares; provided, however, shares of Common Stock will no longer be outstanding under your option and will not be exercisable thereafter to the extent that (1) shares are used to pay the exercise price pursuant to the “net exercise,” (2) shares are delivered to you as a result of such exercise, and (3) shares are withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations.

 

4.             WHOLE SHARES.  You may exercise your option only for whole shares of Common Stock.

 

5.             SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not exercise your option unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise are then registered under the Securities Act or, if such shares of Common Stock are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  The exercise of your option must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing your option, and you may not exercise your option if the Company determines that such exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

 

6.             TERM.  You may not exercise your option before the commencement of its term or after its term expires.  The term of your option commences on the Date of Grant and expires upon the earliest of the following:

 

3



 

(a)           three (3) months after the termination of your Continuous Service for any reason other than your Disability or death, provided that if during any part of such three- (3-) month period your option is not exercisable solely because of the condition set forth in the preceding paragraph relating to “Securities Law Compliance,” your option shall not expire until the earlier of the Expiration Date or until it shall have been exercisable for an aggregate period of three (3) months after the termination of your Continuous Service;

 

(b)           twelve (12) months after the termination of your Continuous Service due to your Disability;

 

(c)           eighteen (18) months after your death if you die either during your Continuous Service or within three (3) months after your Continuous Service terminates;

 

(d)           the Expiration Date indicated in your Grant Notice; or

 

(e)           the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant.

 

7.             EXERCISE.

 

(a)           You may exercise the vested portion of your option (and the unvested portion of your option if your Grant Notice so permits) during its term by delivering a Notice of Exercise (in a form designated by the Company) together with the exercise price to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours, together with such additional documents as the Company may then require.

 

(b)           By exercising your option you agree that, as a condition to any exercise of your option, the Company may require you to enter into an arrangement providing for the payment by you to the Company of any tax withholding obligation of the Company arising by reason of (1) the exercise of your option, (2) the lapse of any substantial risk of forfeiture to which the shares of Common Stock are subject at the time of exercise, or (3) the disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise.

 

8.             TRANSFERABILITY.  Your option is not transferable, except (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, (ii) with the prior written approval of the Company, by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust, in a form accepted by the Company, in which the option is to be passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the trustor (settlor) and (iii) with the prior written approval of the Company, by gift, in a form accepted by the Company, to a permitted transferee under Rule 701 of the Securities Act.

 

9.             OPTION NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT.  Your option is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your employment.  In addition, nothing in your option shall obligate the Company or an Affiliate, their respective shareholders, Boards of Directors, Officers or Employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a Director or Consultant for the Company or an Affiliate.

 

10.          WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.

 

4



 

(a)           At the time you exercise your option, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision as directed by the Company (including by means of a “cashless exercise” pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board to the extent directed by the Company), for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or an Affiliate, if any, which arise in connection with your option.

 

(b)           The Company may, in its sole discretion, and in compliance with any applicable conditions or restrictions of law, withhold from fully vested shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to you upon the exercise of your option a number of whole shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value, determined by the Company as of the date of exercise, not in excess of the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law.  Any adverse consequences to you arising in connection with such share withholding procedure shall be your sole responsibility.

 

(c)           You may not exercise your option unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied.  Accordingly, you may not be able to exercise your option when desired even though your option is vested, and the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such shares of Common Stock or release such shares of Common Stock from any escrow provided for herein.

 

(d)           If any payment or benefit you would receive pursuant to a Change in Control (as defined in Section 1 of this Agreement or in the Plan) from the Company or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount.  The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in your receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order unless you elect in writing a different order (provided, however, that such election shall be subject to Company approval if made on or after the effective date of the event that triggers the Payment): reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated vesting of Stock Awards; reduction of employee benefits.  In the event that acceleration of vesting of Stock Award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of your Stock Awards (i.e., earliest granted Stock Award cancelled last) unless you elect in writing a different order for cancellation.

 

                The accounting firm engaged by the Company for general audit purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control shall perform the foregoing calculations.  If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a

 

5



 

nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder.  The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder.

 

The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to you and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which your right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by you or the Company) or such other time as requested by you or the Company.  If the accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish you and the Company with an opinion reasonably acceptable to you that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Payment.  Any good faith determinations of the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon you and the Company.

 

11.          NOTICES.  Any notices provided for in your option or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by mail by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company.

 

12.          GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT.  Your option is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of your option, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of your option and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control, except as expressly provided herein.

AMENDED AND RESTATED OFFICE LEASE

 

R E C I T A L S :

 

A.                                   This Amended and Restated Office Lease (“Office Lease”), which includes the preceding Summary of Basic Lease Information (the “Summary”) attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the Office Lease and Summary are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Lease”), dated as of the date set forth in Section 1 of the Summary is made by and between KILROY REALTY, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”), and FAVRILLE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).

 

B.                                     Landlord, and Tenant previously entered into that certain Office Lease dated January 31, 2004 (the “Original Office Lease”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated July 2004 (the “First Amendment”), that certain Second Amendment to Lease dated October 11, 2004 (the “Second Amendment”), that certain Third Amendment to Lease dated July 8, 2005 (the “Third Amendment”), and that certain Fourth Amendment to Lease dated October 31, 2005 (the “Fourth Amendment”), whereby Landlord leased to Tenant and Tenant leased from Landlord the entire building located at 10421 Pacific Center Court, San Diego, California (the “10421 Building”) comprised (i) those certain premises (the “Original Premises”) consisting of 48,502 rentable square feet of space located on the first (1st) and second (2nd) floors of the Building, (ii) those certain premises (the “First Expansion Premises”) consisting of 13,987 rentable square feet of space located on the second (2nd) floor of the Building, and (iii) those certain premises (the “Third Expansion Premises”) consisting of approximately 17,382 rentable square feet located on the first (1st) floor of the Building (the Original Premises, the First Expansion Premises and the Third Expansion Premises are, collectively, (x) initially referred to herein as the “Premises,” and (x) alternatively, and throughout the Lease Term, referred to herein as the “10421 Premises”).  The Office Lease, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment and the Fourth Amendment are, collectively, the “Original Lease.”

 

C.                                     The Original Office Lease was initially entered into by Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Original Premises only, and because such Original Premises did not comprise the entire Building, the rights and obligations of both Landlord and Tenant under the terms of the Original Office Lease were structured so as to be a part of, and integrated with, a larger, multi-tenant building.  Following the execution of the Third Amendment and Tenant’s lease of the Third Expansion Premises, Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the entire Building.  As a result thereof, the parties acknowledge and agree that certain of the terms and conditions relating directly to a multi-tenant building which are set forth in the Original Lease are no longer applicable.

 

D.                                    Landlord and Tenant desire to amend and restate the terms of the Original Lease in their entirety, effective as of the Effective Date, as set forth herein.

 

5



 

E.                                      Following the date of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant desire to expand the 10421 Premises to include the entire building (the “10445 Premises”) located at 10445 Pacific Center Court, San Diego, California (the “10445 Building”).  However, as such 10445 Premises is currently occupied by a third party (“Nuera”) pursuant to an existing lease between Landlord and Nuera (the “Nuera Lease”), Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that such expansion, and Landlord’s ability to deliver the 10445 Building to Tenant, is expressly conditioned upon the termination or expiration of the Nuera Lease as set forth more particularly in Section 29.37 of this Lease.  In the event that the Nuera Lease is so terminated, or upon the expiration thereof, then Landlord and Tenant shall immediately thereafter enter into that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Office Lease (which shall amend this Lease) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “First Amendment to Amended and Restated Office Lease”).  All of the terms and conditions of this Lease, as amended by the terms of such First Amendment to Amended and Restated Office Lease, shall be effective immediately upon the full execution and delivery of such First Amendment to Amended and Restated Office Lease by and between Landlord and Tenant (the “10445 Premises Effective Date”).

 

F.                                      Upon the date set forth in Section 1.2 of the Summary (the “Effective Date”),  this Lease shall amend and restate the Original Lease in its entirety and shall thereafter supersede the Original Lease.  The provisions of the Original Lease shall remain in effect as to all periods prior to the Effective Date.

PREMISES, BUILDING, PROJECT, AND COMMON AREAS

 

1.1                                 Premises, Building, Project and Common Areas.

 

1.1.1                        The Premises.  Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary (the “Premises”).  The outline of the Premises is set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and comprises all of the leasable area with in the Building.  The parties hereto agree that the lease of the Premises is upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions (the “TCCs”) herein set forth, and Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of such TCCs by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is made upon the condition of such performance.  The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the purpose of Exhibit A is to show the approximate location of the Premises in the “Building,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2, below, only, and such Exhibit is not meant to constitute an agreement, representation or warranty as to the construction of the Premises, the precise area thereof or the specific location of the “Common Areas,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.3, below, or the elements thereof or of the accessways to the Premises or the “Project,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2, below.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant has been occupying the entire Premises pursuant to the Original Lease, and therefore except as specifically set forth in this Lease and in the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Tenant Work

1.1.2                        The Building and The Project.  The Premises initially constitutes all of the building set forth in Section 2.1 of the Summary (the “Building”).  The Building is part of a project known as “Pacific Corporate Center.”  The term “Project,” as used in this Lease, shall mean (i) the Building and the Common Areas, (ii) the land (which is improved with landscaping, parking facilities and other improvements) upon which the Building and the Common Areas are located, and (iii) the 10445 Building located immediately adjacent to the Building and the land upon which such 10445 Building is located.

 

1.1.3                        Common Areas.  Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the rules and regulations referred to in Article 5 of this Lease, those portions of the Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the Project (such areas, together with such other portions of the Project designated by Landlord, in its discretion, including certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants, or to be shared by Landlord and certain tenants, are collectively referred to herein as the “Common Areas”).  The manner in which the Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be at the reasonable discretion of Landlord and the use thereof shall be subject to such rules, regulations and restrictions as Landlord may make from time to time as provided in Section 5.2 of this Lease, provided that Landlord shall at all times maintain and operate the Common Areas in a first-class manner consistent with the “Comparable Buildings,” as such term is defined in Section 2.2.2 of this Lease.  Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project and the Common Areas as long as such changes do not (i) change the nature of the Project to something other than a first-class project (ii) materially, adversely effect Tenant’s use of the Premises for the Permitted Use, as granted under Section 7 of the Summary, (iii) materially, adversely reduce Tenant’s ingress to or egress from the Project, Building, the Premises or the parking areas servicing the same, or (iv) materially reduce the parking area available for use by Tenant.  Except when and where Tenant’s right of access is specifically excluded as a result of (x) an emergency, (y) a requirement by law, or (z) a specific provision set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right of access to the Premises, the Building, and the Project parking facility twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week during the “Lease Term,” as that term is defined in Section 2.1, below and any “Option Term,” as that term is defined in Section 2.2, below.

ARTICLE 2

 

LEASE TERM; OPTION TERM(S)

 

2.1                                 Initial Lease Term.  The TCCs and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of this Lease.  The term of this Lease (the “Lease Term”) shall be as set forth in Section 3.1 of the Summary, shall commence on the date set forth in Section 3.2 of the Summary (the “Lease Commencement Date”), and shall terminate on the date set forth in Section 3.3 of the Summary (the “Lease Expiration Date”) unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.  For purposes of this Lease, the term “Lease Year” shall mean each consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term; provided, however, that the first Lease Year shall commence on the Lease Commencement Date and end on the last day of the eleventh month thereafter and the second and each succeeding Lease Year shall commence on the first day of the next calendar month; and further provided that the last Lease Year shall end on the Lease Expiration Date.  At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a notice in the form as set forth in Exhibit C, attached hereto, as a confirmation only of the information set forth therein, which Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within five (5) days of receipt thereof.

 

2.2                                 Option Term(s).

 

2.2.1                        Option Right.  Landlord hereby grants the Tenant originally named herein (the “Original Tenant”), its “Affiliates” (as that term is defined in Section 14.8, below) and any permitted assignee of the Original Tenant’s interest in this Lease pursuant to Article 14 of this Lease (a “Permitted Assignee”), two (2) options to extend the Lease Term for the entire 10421 Premises each by a period of five (5) years (each, an “Option Term”).  Such options shall be exercisable only by Notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided below, provided that, as of the date of delivery of such Notice, Tenant is not in default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods).  Upon the proper exercise of an option to extend, and provided that, as of the end of the then applicable Lease term, Tenant is not in default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods), the Lease Term, as it applies to the entire 10421 Premises, shall be extended for a period of five (5) years.  The rights contained in this Section 2.2 shall only be exercised by the Original Tenant, its Affiliate or a Permitted Assignee (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant’s interest in this Lease) if Original Tenant, its Affiliate and/or a Permitted Assignee is in possession of the entire then-existing 10421 Premises.  In the event the 10445 Premises is leased by Tenant, Tenant’s right to extend the Lease Term with respect to such 10445 Premises shall be as expressly set forth in the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Office Lease, and which right shall be independent of the right to extend the Lease Term with respect to the 10421 Premises as set forth in this Section 2.2. Accordingly, Tenant shall have the right to exercise the applicable option rights with respect to the 10421 Premises, the 10445 Premises, or both, in Tenant’s sole discretion.

 

2.2.2                        Option Rent.  The Rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term (the “Option Rent”) shall be equal to the Market Rent as set forth below.  For purposes of this Lease, the term “Market Rent” shall mean rent (including additional rent and considering any “base year” or “expense stop” applicable thereto), including all escalations, at which tenants, as of the

commencement of the applicable term are, pursuant to transactions completed within the twenty-four (24) months prior to the date Tenant delivers to Landlord the “Exercise Notice,” as that term is set forth below, leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered, non-synthetic, non-equity space (unless such space was leased pursuant to a definition of “fair market” comparable to the definition of Market Rent) comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises for a “Comparable Term,” as that term is defined in this Section 2.2.2 (the “Comparable Deals”), which comparable space is located in the “Comparable Buildings,” as that term is defined in this Section 2.2.2, giving appropriate consideration to the annual rental rates per rentable square foot (adjusting the base rent component of such rate to reflect a net value after accounting for whether or not utility expenses are directly paid by the tenant such as Tenant’s direct utility payments provided for in Section 6.1 of this Lease), the standard of measurement by which the rentable square footage is measured, parking ratios, general access to such Comparable Buildings, the general visibility of such Comparable Buildings, and taking into consideration only, and granting only, the following concessions (provided that the rent payable in Comparable Deals in which the terms of such Comparable Deals are determined by use of a discounted fair market rate formula shall be equitably increased in order that such Comparable Deals will not reflect a discounted rate) (collectively, the “Rent Concessions”):  (a) rental abatement concessions or build-out periods, if any, being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable spaces; (b) tenant improvements or allowances provided or to be provided for such comparable space, taking into account the value of the existing improvements in the Premises, such value to be based upon the age, quality and layout of the improvements and the extent to which the same can be utilized by this particular Tenant, (c) Proposition 13 protection, and (d) all other monetary concessions, if any, being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable space; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no consideration shall be given to the fact that Landlord is or is not required to pay a real estate brokerage commission in connection with the applicable term or the fact that the Comparable Deals do or do not involve the payment of real estate brokerage commissions.  The term “Comparable Term” shall refer to the length of the lease term, without consideration of options to extend such term, for the space in question.  In addition, the determination of the Market Rent shall include a determination as to whether, and if so to what extent, Tenant must provide Landlord with financial security, such as a letter of credit or guaranty, for Tenant’s rent obligations during any Option Term.  Such determination shall be made by reviewing the extent of financial security then generally being imposed in Comparable Transactions upon tenants of comparable financial condition and credit history to the then existing financial condition and credit history of Tenant (with appropriate adjustments to account for differences in the then-existing financial condition of Tenant and such other tenants).  If in determining the Market Rent, Tenant would, pursuant to the Comparable Deals and the Rent Concessions set forth therein, otherwise be entitled to a tenant improvement or comparable allowance for the improvement of the Premises (the “Option Term TI Allowance”), Tenant shall not be entitled, and shall not be compelled, to receive such Option Term TI Allowance and Landlord shall reduce the rental rate component of the Market Rent to be an effective rental rate which takes into consideration that Tenant will not receive any Option Term TI Allowance.  The term “Comparable Buildings” shall mean the Building and other first-class “cGMP/lab buildings” which are comparable to the Building in terms of age (based upon the date of completion of construction or major renovation as to the building containing the portion of the Premises in question), quality of construction, level of services and amenities, size

4.4                                 Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.4.1, below, and as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for each Expense Year.

 

4.4.1                        Statement of Actual Building Direct Expenses and Payment by Tenant.  Landlord shall give to Tenant following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the “Statement”) which shall state the Building Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such Statement to Tenant on or before May 1 following the end of the Expense Year to which such Statement relates.  Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Statement, the full amount of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as “Estimated Direct Expenses,” as that term is defined in Section 4.4.2, below, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Direct Expenses than the actual Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses (an “Excess”), Tenant shall receive a credit in the amount of such Excess against Rent next due under this Lease.  The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Article 4.  Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, if Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses is greater than the amount of Estimated Direct Expenses previously paid by Tenant to Landlord, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Statement, pay to Landlord such amount, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Direct Expenses than the actual Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses (again, an Excess), Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days, deliver a check payable to Tenant in the amount of such Excess.  The provisions of this Section 4.4.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence,

 

18



 

Tenant shall not be responsible for Tenant’s Share of any Building Direct Expenses attributable to any Expense Year which are first billed to Tenant more than two (2) calendar years after the Lease Expiration Date, provided that in any event Tenant shall be responsible for Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses levied by any governmental authority or by any public utility companies at any time following the Lease Expiration Date which are attributable to any Expense Year.

 

4.4.2                        Statement of Estimated Building Direct Expenses.  In addition, Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the “Estimate Statement”) which shall set forth in general major categories Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “Estimate”) of what the total amount of Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses (the “Estimated Direct Expenses”).  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such Estimate Statement to Tenant on or before April 1 following the end of the Expense Year to which such Estimate Statement relates.  The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Direct Expenses under this Article 4, nor shall Landlord be prohibited from revising any Estimate Statement or Estimated Direct Expenses theretofore delivered to the extent necessary.  Thereafter, Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Estimate Statement, a fraction of the Estimated Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the second to last sentence of this Section 4.4.2).  Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the month of such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator.  Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Direct Expenses set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.  Throughout the Lease Term Landlord shall maintain books and records with respect to Building Direct Expenses in accordance with generally accepted real estate accounting and management practices, consistently applied.

 

4.5                                 Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible.

 

4.5.1                        Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay ten (10) days before delinquency, taxes levied against Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property located in or about the Premises.  If any such taxes on Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or any other personal property and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment, as the case may be.

 

4.5.2                        If the tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant improvements conforming to Landlord’s “building standard” in other space in the Building are assessed, then the Tax Expenses levied against Landlord or the property by reason

 

19



 

of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.5.1, above.

 

4.5.3                        Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency any (i) rent tax or sales tax, service tax, transfer tax or value added tax, or any other applicable tax on the rent or services herein or otherwise respecting this Lease, (ii) taxes assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Project, including the Project parking facility; or (iii) taxes assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

 

4.5.4                        Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay directly to Landlord within thirty (30) days of being invoiced therefor, the actual cost, if any, incurred by Landlord’s for carrying, pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 10.2, below, “Pollution Legal Liability Environmental Insurance.”

 

4.6                                 Landlord’s Books and Records.  Within two (2) years after receipt of a Statement by Tenant, if Tenant disputes the amount of Additional Rent set forth in the Statement, a determination as to the proper amount shall be made, at Tenant’s expense, by an independent certified public accountant (the “Accountant”) selected by Landlord and subject to Tenant’s reasonable approval, by inspecting Landlord’s records with respect to the Statement at Landlord’s offices, provided that Tenant is not then in default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) and Tenant has paid all amounts required to be paid under the applicable Estimate Statement and Statement, as the case may be.  In connection with such inspection, the Accountant must agree in advance to follow Landlord’s reasonable rules and procedures regarding inspections of Landlord’s records, and shall execute a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement regarding such inspection.  If such determination by the Accountant proves that Direct Expenses were overstated by more than five percent (5%), then the cost of the Accountant and the cost of such determination shall be paid for by Landlord.  Tenant’s failure to dispute the amount of Additional Rent set forth in any Statement within two (2) years of Tenant’s receipt of such Statement shall be deemed to be Tenant’s approval of such Statement and Tenant, thereafter, waives the right or ability to dispute the amounts set forth in such Statement.  Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant’s sole right to inspect Landlord’s books and records and to contest the amount of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant shall be as set forth in this Section 4.6, and Tenant hereby waives any and all other rights pursuant to Applicable Law to inspect such books and records and/or to contest the amount of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant.

6.7                                 Rent Abatement.  If Landlord fails to perform the obligations required of Landlord under the TCCs of this Lease and such failure causes all or a portion of the Premises to be untenantable and unusable by Tenant and such failure relates to the nonfunctioning of the heat, ventilation, and air conditioning system in the Premises, the electricity in the Premises, the

 

24



 

nonfunctioning of the elevator service to the Premises, or a failure to provide access to the Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord notice (the “Initial Notice”), specifying such failure to perform by Landlord (the “Landlord Default”).  If Landlord has not cured such Landlord Default within five (5) business days after the receipt of the Initial Notice (the “Eligibility Period”), Tenant may deliver an additional notice to Landlord (the “Additional Notice”), specifying such Landlord Default and Tenant’s intention to abate the payment of Rent under this Lease.  If Landlord does not cure such Landlord Default within five (5) business days of receipt of the Additional Notice, Tenant may, upon written notice to Landlord, immediately abate Rent payable under this Lease for that portion of the Premises rendered untenantable and not used by Tenant, for the period beginning on the date five (5) business days after the Initial Notice to the earlier of the date Landlord cures such Landlord Default or the date Tenant recommences the use of such portion of the Premises.  Such right to abate Rent shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity for a Landlord Default.  Except as provided in this Section 6.4, nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to mean that Tenant is excused from paying Rent due hereunder.

 

ARTICLE 7

 

BUILDING STRUCTURE & PROJECT EXTERIOR REPAIRS

 

7.1                                 Landlord’s Maintenance Obligations.  Landlord shall repair, replace and maintain in a first-class condition and operating order the structural portions of the Building, including, without limitation, the foundation, floor slabs, Building skin and roof (not including the roof membrane), curtain wall (including gaskets and seals), exterior glass and mullions, columns, beams, shafts and stairwells (collectively, “Building Structure”), and all portions of the Project existing outside of the Building including, without limitation, the parking facilities, sidewalks, gutters, and landscaping and hardscaping; provided, however, for the purposes of this Article 7, the Building Structure shall not apply to the extent of any Alteration or other improvements thereto made by or on behalf of Tenant under the terms of this Lease or the Original Lease.  Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall be required to repair the Building Structure to the extent caused due to Tenant’s use of the Premises for other than normal and customary implementation of the Permitted Use, unless and to the extent such damage is covered by insurance carried or required to be carried by Landlord pursuant to Article 10 and to which the waiver of subrogation is applicable (such obligation to the extent applicable to Tenant as qualified and conditioned will hereinafter be defined as the “BS Exception”).  While Landlord shall perform all of such work allocated to Landlord under this Section 7.1 (collectively, the “LL Maintenance Obligations”), the reasonable, actual costs related to Landlord’s performance of reasonably required maintenance included with such LL Maintenance Obligations shall be included in Operating Expenses (except to the extent such costs are incurred for Non-Reimbursable Capital Improvements).  Any entry of the Premises by Landlord in connection with the foregoing shall be done consistent with the terms of Article 27 of this Lease.  Tenant acknowledges that, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, pursuant to the TCCs of this Lease, including, without limitation Article 6 and Article 8 hereof, remain responsible for the maintenance, repair and replacement of all of the remaining portions of the Building (i.e., the Building Structure).Except as specifically set forth in Section 7.2 of this Lease, below, Tenant hereby waives any and all rights under and benefits of subsection 1 of Section

 

25

7.2                                 Tenant’s Right to Make Repairs.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.1, above, if Tenant provides notice to Landlord of an event or circumstance which requires the action of Landlord with respect to repair and/or maintenance as set forth in Section 7.1, above and Landlord fails to provide such action within (30) days after receipt of such notice, then Tenant may proceed to take the required action upon delivery of an additional ten (10) days notice to Landlord specifying that Tenant is taking such required action, and if such action was required under the TCCs of this Lease to be taken by Landlord, then Tenant shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement by Landlord of Tenant’s reasonable costs and expenses in taking such action; provided, however, notwithstanding such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to expedite such repairs to ensure completion as soon as reasonably practicable.  In the event Tenant takes such action, Tenant shall use only those contractors used by Landlord in the Building for similar work unless such contractors are unwilling or unable to perform such work, in which event Tenant may utilize the services of any other qualified contractor which normally and regularly performs similar work in the Comparable Buildings.  If Landlord delivers to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s invoice, a written objection to the payment of such invoice, setting forth with reasonable particularity Landlord’s reasons for its claim that such action did not have to be taken by Landlord pursuant to the TCCs of this Lease or that the charges are excessive (in which case Landlord shall pay the amount it contends would not have been excessive), then, as Tenant’s sole remedy, Tenant may proceed to institute legal proceedings against Landlord to collect the amount set forth in the subject invoice; provided that under no circumstances shall Tenant be allowed to (i) deduct such disputed amount from Rent, or (ii) terminate this Lease.  If Tenant receives a non-appealable final judgment against Landlord in connection with such legal proceedings, Tenant may deduct the amount of the judgment, not to exceed the amount of the unpaid portion of the relevant invoice, from the Base Rent next due and owing under this Lease; provided, however, Tenant may not deduct the amount of the judgment against more than fifty percent (50%) of Base Rent next due and owing (until such time as the entire amount of such judgment is deducted) to the extent following a foreclosure or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.

 

ARTICLE 8

 

ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS

 

8.1                                 Landlord’s Consent to Alterations.  Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions, repairs or changes to the Premises or any mechanical, plumbing or HVAC facilities or systems pertaining to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than fifteen (15) business days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord, provided it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any Alteration which adversely affects the structural portions or the systems or equipment of the Building or is visible from the exterior of the Building.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to make Alterations following fifteen (15) days notice to Landlord, but without Landlord’s prior consent, to the extent that such Alterations do not (i) involve the expenditure of more than $100,000.00 in the

 

26

8.2                                 Manner of Construction.  Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent to any and all Alterations or repairs of the Premises or about the Premises, such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem desirable; provided, however, such requirement shall at a minimum include, but not limited to, the following:  (i) the requirement that Tenant utilize for such purposes only contractors reasonably approved by Landlord, (ii) the requirement that upon Landlord’s request made at the time such consent is granted, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, remove such Alterations upon the expiration or any early termination of the Lease Term and return the affected portion of the Premises to a building standard general laboratory improved condition consistent with the cGMP Standard and otherwise as reasonably determined by Landlord; (iii) the requirement that a copy of Tenant’s contract(s) with its contractors be delivered to Landlord prior to the commencement of any such construction (which contracts shall state that all change orders must be approved, in writing, by Landlord prior to implementation); (iv) Landlord’s review and approval of the final budget (contractor’s cost proposal) for such Alterations or repairs; and (v) the requirement that Tenant shall meet with Landlord, prior to the commencement of any construction, to discuss Landlord’s design parameters and code compliance issues.  Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformance with any and all applicable federal, state, county or municipal laws, rules and regulations and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the City of San Diego, all in conformance with Landlord’s construction rules and regulations.  In the event Tenant performs any Alterations in the Premises which require or give rise to governmentally required changes to the “Base Building,” as that term is defined below, then Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense, make such changes to the Base Building.  The “Base Building” shall consist of the Building Structure.  In performing the work of any such Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner so as not to obstruct access to the Project or any portion thereof, by any other tenant of the Project, and so as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in the  Project.  Tenant shall not use (and upon notice from Landlord shall cease using) contractors, services, workmen, labor, materials or equipment that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would disturb labor harmony with the workforce or trades engaged in performing other work, labor or services in or about the Building or the Common Areas.  In addition to Tenant’s obligations under Article 9 of this Lease, upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant agrees to cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the County of San Diego in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, and Tenant shall deliver to the Project construction manager a reproducible copy of the “as built” drawings of the Alterations, to the extent applicable, as well as all permits, approvals and other documents issued by any governmental agency in connection with the Alterations.

27



 

of the cost of such work to compensate Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such work.

 

8.4                                 Construction Insurance.  In addition to the requirements of Article 10 of this Lease, in the event that Tenant makes any Alterations, prior to the commencement of such Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant carries “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount reasonably approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof.  In addition, for any Alterations with an aggregate cost equal to or greater than $100,000.00 in any Lease Year, Tenant shall obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee (“Alteration Security”); provided, however, if Tenant meets or exceeds one or both of the financial thresholds set forth in Sections 21.2.2.2(ii) and (iii) of this Lease, then Tenant shall not be required to obtain such Alteration Security.

 

8.5                                 Landlord’s Property.  Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledges and agree that (i) all Alterations, improvements, fixtures, affixed equipment and/or appurtenances which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord, except as more particularly set forth below, and (ii) the Tenant Improvements to be constructed in the Premises pursuant to the TCCs of the Tenant Work Letter shall, upon completion of the same, be and become a part of the Premises and the property of Landlord.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided that (A) the same are not Tenant Improvements constructed pursuant to the terms of the Tenant Work Letter, and (B) Landlord has not previously identified the same as “must-remain” items pursuant to the procedure set forth below, Tenant may remove any other Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment which Tenant can substantiate to Landlord have not been paid for (in whole or in part) with any improvement allowance funds provided to Tenant by Landlord, provided Tenant repairs any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and returns the affected portion of the Premises to a building standard general laboratory improved condition as reasonably determined by Landlord.  Furthermore, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant prior to the end of the Lease Term, or given following any earlier termination of this Lease, require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to (i) remove any Alterations or improvements in the Premises installed pursuant to this Article 8, and/or (ii) remove any “Above Building Standard Tenant Improvements,” as that term is defined in Section 2.4 of the Tenant Work Letter, located within the Premises and replace the same with then existing “Building Standard Tenant Improvements,” as that term is defined in Section 2.3 of the Tenant Work Letter, and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and returns the affected portion of the Premises to a building standard tenant improved condition as reasonably determined by Landlord; provided, however, if in connection with its request for Landlord’s approval for particular Alterations, (1) Tenant requests Landlord’s decision with regard to the removal of such Alterations, and (2) Landlord thereafter agrees in writing to waive the removal requirement when approving such Alterations, then Tenant shall not be required to so remove such Alterations; provided further, however, that Landlord may, in connection with Landlord’s approval for particular Alterations (or, in Landlord’s approval is not required or sought, then within thirty (30) days of Landlord being notified of such Alterations), identify particular

 

28



 

Alterations as those which must-remain in the Premises and become the property of Landlord.  If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations or improvements in the Premises, and returns the affected portion of the Premises to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord, then at Landlord’s option, either (X) Tenant shall be deemed to be holding over in the Premises and Rent shall continue to accrue in accordance with the terms of Article 16, below, until such work shall be completed, or (Y) Landlord may do so and may charge the cost thereof to Tenant.  Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien in any manner relating to the violation of the foregoing provisions, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

Tenant for, and are hereby released from any responsibility to Tenant for, any damage either to person or property or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant (other than damage arising due to Landlord’s and Landlord Parties’ negligence or willful misconduct).  Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with or arising from any cause in or on the Premises (other than Landlord’s and Landlord Parties’ negligence or willful misconduct), any acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or of any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees, or licensees of Tenant (collectively, the “Tenant Parties”), in, on or about the Project or any breach of the TCCs of this Lease, either prior to, during, or after the expiration of the Lease Term, provided that the terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Party.  Should Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against Tenant in connection with or arising out of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises and subject to the indemnification provision hereinabove, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including without limitation, its actual professional fees such as appraisers’, accountants’ and attorneys’ fees.  Further, Tenant’s agreement to indemnify Landlord pursuant to this Section 10.1 is not intended and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried by Tenant or Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, to the extent such policies cover the matters subject to Tenant’s indemnification obligations; nor shall they supersede any inconsistent agreement of the parties set forth in any other provision of this Lease.  The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability arising in connection with any event occurring prior to such expiration or termination.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, nothing in this Lease shall impose any obligations on Tenant or Landlord to be responsible or liable for, and each hereby releases the other from all liability for, consequential damages other than those consequential damages incurred by Landlord in connection with a holdover of the Premises by Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

10.2                           Landlord’s Fire, Casualty and Liability Insurance.  Landlord shall carry commercial general liability insurance with respect to the Project and Building during the Lease Term, shall further insure the Project and Building Structure during the Lease Term against loss or damage due to fire and other casualties covered within the classification of fire and extended coverage, vandalism coverage and malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage, water damage and special extended coverage, as well as flood damage and additional hazards, and shall further carry rental interruption coverage for a period of one year.  Such coverage shall be in such amounts, from such companies, and on such other terms and conditions, as Landlord may from time to time reasonably determine; provided, however, such coverage shall be for the full replacement value of the Building Structure and the Project in compliance with all then-existing Applicable Laws.  Additionally, at the option of Landlord, such insurance coverage may include the risks of (i) earthquakes, (ii) one or more loss payee endorsements in favor of the holders of any mortgages or deeds of trust encumbering the interest of Landlord in the Building or the ground or underlying lessors of the Building, or any portion thereof, and (iii) ”Pollution Legal Liability Environmental Insurance,” as that term is set forth below; provided, however, that to the extent Tenant is not in default of this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods), Tenant shall have the option, upon thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord, to itself carry such

 

30



 

Pollution Legal Liability Environmental Insurance in lieu of Landlord carrying such insurance; provided further, however, to the extent Tenant elects to carry such Pollution Legal Liability Environment Insurance pursuant to the foregoing option, Tenant shall comply with the express coverage requirements set forth hereinbelow and such insurance coverage shall otherwise comply with the TCCs of Section 10.4, below.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2, the coverage and amounts of insurance carried by Landlord in connection with the Building shall, at a minimum, be comparable to the coverage and amounts of insurance which are carried by reasonably prudent landlords of Comparable Buildings, and Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability coverage as required by applicable law.  Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, comply with all commercially reasonable insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises.  If Tenant’s conduct or use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar body.  For purposes of this Lease, the “Pollution Legal Liability Environmental Insurance” (aka an “Owner’s Policy” of environmental insurance) shall mean insurance (1) from an insurance carrier with a credit rating of no less than AAA, it being acknowledged and agreed by Landlord that, as of the date of this Lease, Kemper, AIG, Chubb, Zurich and the XL Insurance Company currently satisfy such credit rating, and (2) providing, at a minimum, the following:  (a) an initial 5-year policy term (with successive 1-year terms renewable on a rolling annual basis, until such time as the policy term equals or exceeds the Lease Expiration Date), (b) $2,000,000 coverage per incident or occurrence, (c) $2,000,000 aggregate coverage, (d) a deductible or self-insured retention of no more than $25,000, and (e) coverage for: (A) known and unknown pre-existing conditions; (B) unknown and later discovered conditions; (C) on-site and off-site third-party claims for bodily injury or property damage; and (D) legal defense expenses.  Furthermore, the policy of insurance must include an automatic extended reporting period that provides the Insured a period of no less than sixty (60) days following the effective date of termination of coverage in which to provide written notice to the insurance carrier of claims first made and reported within the automatic extended reporting period.  All other terms, coverage, exclusions, or conditions of the policy shall be at Landlord’s sole and complete discretion.

 

10.3                           Tenant’s Insurance.  Tenant shall maintain the following coverages in the following amounts.

 

10.3.1                  Commercial General Liability Insurance covering the insured against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage (including loss of use thereof) arising out of Tenant’s operations, and contractual liabilities (covering the performance by Tenant of its indemnity agreements) including a Broad Form endorsement covering the insuring provisions of this Lease and, to the extent consistent with commercially standard policies of such insurance coverage, the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreements set forth in Section 10.1 of this Lease, for limits of liability not less than:

 

Bodily Injury and

 

$5,000,000 each occurrence

Property Damage Liability

 

$5,000,000 annual aggregate

 

31



 

Personal Injury Liability

 

$5,000,000 each occurrence

 

 

$5,000,000 annual aggregate

 

 

0% Insured’s participation

 

10.3.2                  Physical Damage Insurance covering (i) all office furniture, business and trade fixtures, office equipment, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions, merchandise and all other items of Tenant’s property on the Premises installed by, for, or at the expense of Tenant, (ii) the Building Systems, the “Tenant Improvements,” as that term is defined in Section 2.1 of the Tenant Work Letter, and any other improvements which exist in the Premises as of the Lease Commencement Date (excluding the Base Building) (the “Original Improvements”), and (iii) all other improvements, alterations and additions to the Premises made by Tenant.  Such insurance shall be written on a “special cause of loss” physical loss or damage basis, for the full replacement cost value (subject to reasonable deductible amounts) new without deduction for depreciation of the covered items and in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the policies of insurance and shall include coverage for damage or other loss caused by fire or other peril including, but not limited to, vandalism and malicious mischief, theft, water damage of any type (provided the following shall not require Tenant to carry flood insurance, which flood insurance may instead be carried by Landlord pursuant to Section 10.2, above), including sprinkler leakage, bursting or stoppage of pipes, and explosion.

 

10.3.3                  Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability or other similar insurance pursuant to all applicable state and local statutes and regulations.

 

10.4                           Form of Policies.  The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease.  Such insurance shall (i) name Landlord, and any other party the Landlord so specifies that has a material financial interest in the Project, as an additional insured, including Landlord’s managing agent, if any; (ii) specifically cover the liability assumed by Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s obligations under Section 10.1 of this Lease to the extent consistent with commercially standard policies of such insurance coverage; (iii) be issued by an insurance company having a rating of not less than A-X in Best’s Insurance Guide or which is otherwise acceptable to Landlord and licensed to do business in the State of California; (iv) be primary insurance as to all claims thereunder and provide that any insurance carried by Landlord is excess and is non-contributing with any insurance requirement of Tenant; (v) be in form and content reasonably acceptable to Landlord; and (vi) provide that said insurance shall not be canceled or coverage materially changed unless ten (10) days’ prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord, the identity of whom has been provided to Tenant in writing.  Tenant shall deliver said policy or policies or certificates thereof to Landlord on or before the Lease Commencement Date and at least thirty (30) days before the expiration dates thereof.  In the event Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificate, Landlord may, at its option, after written notice to Tenant and Tenant’s failure to obtain such insurance within five (5) days thereafter, procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery to Tenant of bills therefor.

 

32



 

10.5                           Subrogation.  Landlord and Tenant intend that their respective property loss risks shall be borne by reasonable insurance carriers to the extent above provided, and, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to look solely to, and seek recovery only from, their respective insurance carriers in the event of a property loss to the extent that such coverage is agreed to be provided hereunder.  The parties each hereby waive all rights and claims against each other for such losses, and waive all rights of subrogation of their respective insurers, provided such waiver of subrogation shall not affect the right to the insured to recover thereunder.  The parties agree that their respective insurance policies are now, or shall be, endorsed such that the waiver of subrogation shall not affect the right of the insured to recover thereunder, so long as no material additional premium is charged therefor (unless the other party agrees to pay such additional premium).

 

10.6                           Additional Insurance Obligations.  Tenant shall carry and maintain during the entire Lease Term, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, increased amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article 10 and such other reasonable types of insurance coverage and in such reasonable amounts covering the Premises and Tenant’s operations therein, as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, but in no event in excess of the amounts and types of insurance then being required by landlords of other Comparable Buildings.

 

10.7                           Risk Management Obligations.  Landlord and Tenant shall promptly advise each other as to (i) any alleged accidents or casualty known by the reporting party which are substantially likely to result in the assertion of a claim against the other party, and (ii) the occurrence of any substantial casualty damage to the Project known to the reporting party.  Landlord and Tenant shall notify each other promptly of any threatened or pending condemnation, rezoning or other governmental orders, proceedings or lawsuits involving the Project.

 

ARTICLE 11

 

DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

 

11.1                           Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord.  If the Building Structure or any portions of the Project existing outside of the Building serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control (specifically including, without limitation, any requirement to obtain any license, clearance or other authorization of any kind required to enter into and restore the Premises issued by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency having jurisdiction over the use, storage, release or removal of “Hazardous Materials,” as that term is set forth in Section 29.33 of this Lease, below, in, on or about the Premises (collectively, the “Hazardous Materials Clearances”), which Hazardous Materials Clearances shall be obtained by Tenant), and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the Building Structure and all such portions of the Project existing outside of the Building.  Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Building Structure and exterior Project components prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Building or Project or any other modifications to the exterior Project components deemed desirable by Landlord, which are consistent with the character of the

 

33



 

Project, provided that access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired.  Upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair any injury or damage to the Building Systems, Tenant Improvements and the Original Improvements installed in the Premises and shall return such Building Systems, Tenant Improvements and Original Improvements to the condition existing immediately prior to such casualty (provided such Building Systems, Tenant Improvements and Original Improvements were properly maintained pursuant to the TCCs of this Lease prior to such casualty), except for modifications required by “Applicable Laws,” as that term is set forth in Article 24 of this Lease.  Prior to the commencement of construction, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Tenant shall select the contractors, subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval, to perform such improvement work.  Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy, and the Premises are not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof, then during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy, the Rent shall be abated in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which is unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises; provided further, however, that if any Hazardous Materials Clearances are required to be obtained by Tenant before such restoration can begin, such abatement of Rent shall continue for only so long as Tenant, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, diligently pursues obtaining such required Hazardous Materials Clearances.  Tenant’s right to rent abatement pursuant to the preceding sentence shall terminate as of the date which is reasonably determined by Landlord to be the date Tenant should have completed repairs to the Premises assuming Tenant used reasonable due diligence in connection therewith.

 

11.2                           Landlord’s Option to Repair.  Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Building Structure and/or exterior Project components, and instead terminate this Lease, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of discovery of the damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant sixty (60) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building Structure or exterior Project components shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of discovery of the damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Building or Project or ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground lease, as the case may be; (iii) the damage is not fully covered by the insurance policies Landlord is required to carry pursuant to the TCCs of this Lease; (iv) Landlord cannot, pursuant to the applicable laws then in effect, rebuild the Building Structure or exterior Project components so that they will be substantially the same structurally or architecturally; or (v) the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term; provided, however, that if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord’s termination right as provided above, and the repairs cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after being commenced, Tenant

 

34



 

may elect, no earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of the damage and not later than ninety (90) days after the date of such damage, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in the notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given by Tenant.  Furthermore, if neither Landlord nor Tenant has terminated this Lease, and the repairs are not actually completed within such 180-day period, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease during the first five (5) business days of each calendar month following the end of such period until such time as the repairs are complete, by notice to Landlord (the “Damage Termination Notice”), effective as of a date set forth in the Damage Termination Notice (the “Damage Termination Date”), which Damage Termination Date shall not be less than ten (10) business days following the end of each such month.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant delivers a Damage Termination Notice to Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right to suspend the occurrence of the Damage Termination Date for a period ending thirty (30) days after the Damage Termination Date set forth in the Damage Termination Notice by delivering to Tenant, within five (5) business days of Landlord’s receipt of the Damage Termination Notice, a certificate of Landlord’s contractor responsible for the repair of the damage certifying that it is such contractor’s good faith judgment that the repairs shall be substantially completed within thirty (30) days after the Damage Termination Date.  If repairs shall be substantially completed prior to the expiration of such thirty-day period, then the Damage Termination Notice shall be of no force or effect, but if the repairs shall not be substantially completed within such thirty-day period, then this Lease shall terminate upon the expiration of such thirty-day period.  At any time, from time to time, after the date occurring sixty (60) days after the date of the damage, Tenant may request that Landlord inform Tenant of Landlord’s reasonable opinion of the date of completion of the repairs and Landlord shall respond to such request within five (5) business days.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.2, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease under this Section 11.2 only if each of the following conditions is satisfied: (a) the damage to the Project by fire or other casualty was not caused by the gross negligence or intentional act of Tenant or its partners or subpartners and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors; (b) as a result of the damage, Tenant cannot reasonably conduct business from the Premises; and, (c) as a result of the damage to the Project, Tenant does not occupy or use the Premises at all.  In the event this Lease is terminated in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.2, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required under Section 10.3.2 of this Lease; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, Tenant shall be entitled to retain a portion of such proceeds equal to the then-remaining unamortized amount (based on a straight-line amortization over the initial Lease Term) of the “Initial TI Disbursement” and the “Over-Allowance Amount,” as those terms are set forth in Sections 2.2.2.1 and 4.2.1, respectively, of the Tenant Work Letter.

 

11.3                           Waiver of Statutory Provisions.  The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project, and any statute or regulation of the State of California, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project.

ARTICLE 12

 

NONWAIVER

 

No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by either party hereto unless expressly waived in a writing signed thereby.  The waiver by either party hereto of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained.  The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent.  No acceptance of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the full amount due.  No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Lease Term or of Tenant’s right of possession hereunder, or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit, or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.

 

ARTICLE 13

 

CONDEMNATION

 

If the whole or any part of the Premises or the Building shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises or Building, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority.  If more than fifty percent (50%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired, in each case for a period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority.  Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any claim against Landlord or the authority for any compensation because of such taking and Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of (i) Tenant’s personal property, and (ii) improvements and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the TCCs of this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claims do not diminish the award available to Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project or its mortgagee, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant.  All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination.  If any

 

36



 

part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent shall be proportionately abated.  Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of The California Code of Civil Procedure.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 13, in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and the Additional Rent shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises.  Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking.

 

ARTICLE 14

 

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

14.1                           Transfers.  Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord as set forth more particularly in Section 14.2, below, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment, or other transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or enter into any license or concession agreements or otherwise permit the occupancy or use of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons other than Tenant and its employees and contractors (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfers” and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Transferee”).  If Tenant desires Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the “Transfer Notice”) shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the “Subject Space”), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including calculation of the “Transfer Premium”, as that term is defined in Section 14.3 below, in connection with such Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, business credit and personal references and history of the proposed Transferee and any other information required by Landlord which will enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee’s business and proposed use of the Subject Space and (v) an executed estoppel certificate from Tenant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E.  Any Transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease.  Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket third-party costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with its review of a proposed Transfer; provided that such costs and expenses shall not exceed One Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($1,500.00) for a Transfer in the ordinary course of business.  Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that a proposed Transfer shall not be considered “in the ordinary course of business” if such Transfer involves the review of

 

37



 

documentation by Landlord on more than two (2) occasions with regard to a single proposed Transfer.

 

14.2                           Landlord’s Consent.  Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice.  Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply:

 

14.2.1                  The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or the Project;

 

14.2.2                  The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;

 

14.2.3                  The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof;

 

14.2.4                  The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with the Transfer on the date consent is requested;

 

14.2.5                  The proposed Transfer would cause a violation of another lease for space in the Project, or would give an occupant of the Project a right to cancel its lease;

 

14.2.6                  The terms of the proposed Transfer will allow the Transferee to exercise a right of renewal, right of expansion, right of first offer, or other similar right held by Tenant (or will allow the Transferee to occupy space leased by Tenant pursuant to any such right);

 

14.2.7                  Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed Transferee, (i) occupies space in the Project at the time of the request for consent, or (ii) is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Project at such time, or (iii) has negotiated with Landlord during the six (6)-month period immediately preceding the Transfer Notice, and Landlord has available space in the Project suitable for such proposed Transferee; or

 

14.2.8                  The Transferee does not intend to occupy the entire Premises and conduct its business therefrom for a substantial portion of the term of the Transfer.

 

If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under Section 14.4 of this Lease), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord’s consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice (i) such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2, or (ii) which would cause the proposed Transfer to be more favorable to the Transferee than the

 

38



 

terms set forth in Tenant’s original Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlord’s right of recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under Section 14.2 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Article 14, their sole remedies shall be a declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought without any monetary damages, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee.  Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from any and all liability, losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action and proceedings involving any third party or parties (including without limitation Tenant’s proposed subtenant or assignee) who claim they were damaged by Landlord’s wrongful withholding or conditioning of Landlord’s consent, unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Landlord was wrongful in its withholding or conditioning of its consent.

 

14.3                           Transfer Premium.  If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any “Transfer Premium,” as that term is defined in this Section 14.3, received by Tenant from such Transferee.  “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in connection with the Transfer in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for (i) any changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises in connection with the Transfer, (ii) any free base rent reasonably provided to the Transferee, and (iii) any commercially reasonable brokerage commissions and legal fees in connection with the Transfer.  “Transfer Premium” shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer.  In the calculations of the Rent (as it relates to the Transfer Premium calculated under this Section 14.3), and the Transferee’s Rent and Quoted Rent under Section 14.2 of this Lease, the Rent paid during each annual period for the Subject Space, and the Transferee’s Rent and the Quoted Rent, shall be computed after adjusting such rent to the actual effective rent to be paid,  taking into consideration any and all leasehold concessions granted in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, any rent credit and improvement allowance.  For purposes of calculating any such effective rent all such concessions shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the relevant term.

 

14.4                           Landlord’s Option as to Subject SpaceIn the event that a proposed Transfer, if consented to, would cause fifty percent (50%) or more of the Premises to be subleased or assigned to a party other than Original Tenant and/or its Affiliates, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Transfer Notice, to recapture the Subject Space.  Such recapture notice shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the Subject Space as of the date stated in the Transfer Notice as the effective date of the proposed Transfer until the last day

 

39



 

of the term of the Transfer as set forth in the Transfer Notice (or at Landlord’s option, shall cause the Transfer to be made to Landlord or its agent, in which case the parties shall execute the Transfer documentation promptly thereafter).  In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated 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 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 the same.  If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner to recapture the Subject Space under this Section 14.4, then, provided Landlord has consented to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be entitled to proceed to transfer the Subject Space to the proposed Transferee, subject to provisions of this Article 14.

 

14.5                           Effect of Transfer.  If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the TCCs of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iv) Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord’s request a complete statement, certified by Tenant’s chief financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer, and (v) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from any liability under this Lease, including, without limitation, in connection with the Subject Space.  Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof.  If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency, and if understated by more than five percent (5%), Tenant shall pay Landlord’s costs of such audit.

 

14.6                           Additional Transfers.  For purposes of this Lease, the term “Transfer” shall also include (i) if Tenant is a partnership, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, or transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of partnership interests, within a twelve (12)-month period, or the dissolution of the partnership without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a closely held corporation (i.e., whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through a nationally recognized exchange or over the counter), (A) the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant in which the holders of Tenant’s outstanding voting stock immediately prior to such transaction own, immediately after such transaction, securities representing less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the corporation or other entity surviving such transaction, (B) the sale or other transfer by the Tenant of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting shares of Tenant in a single transaction or series of transactions, within any twelve (12)-month period (other than in connection with a capital raising transaction involving the sale of capital stock of Tenant to bona fide third-party investors), or (C) the sale, mortgage, exclusive license, hypothecation or pledge of all or substantially all of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant in a single transaction or series of transactions within a twelve (12)-month period.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 14 to the contrary, in no event shall an offering of stock to (1) third parties by means of a public offering (either an initial public offering or a subsequent public

 

40



 

offering) through a recognized stock market, or (2) in connection with research and development partnerships or collaborative agreements, constitute a “Transfer.”

 

14.7                           Occurrence of Default.  Any Transfer hereunder shall be subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be terminated during the term of any Transfer, Landlord shall have the right to:  (i) treat such Transfer as canceled and repossess the Subject Space by any lawful means, or (ii) require that such Transferee attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord under any such Transfer.  If Tenant shall be in default under this Lease, Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized, as Tenant’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant’s obligations under this Lease) until such default is cured.  Such Transferee shall rely on any representation by Landlord that Tenant is in default hereunder, without any need for confirmation thereof by Tenant.  Upon any assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing all obligations and covenants of Tenant thereafter to be performed or observed under this Lease.  No collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 14 or the approval of any Transferee or a release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, whether theretofore or thereafter accruing.  In no event shall Landlord’s enforcement of any provision of this Lease against any Transferee be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to enforce any term of this Lease against Tenant or any other person.  If Tenant’s obligations hereunder have been guaranteed, Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not be effective unless the guarantor also consents to such Transfer.

 

14.8                           Non-Transfers.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, to the extent the Original Tenant in not then in default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods), an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to (i) an affiliate of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by, controls or is under common control, as such term is defined in California General Corporations Code (“CGCC”) Sections 160 and 5045, with, Tenant), (ii) an entity which merges with or acquires or is acquired by, Tenant or a parent of Tenant, as defined in CGCC Sections 175 and 5064, or a subsidiary, as defined in CGCC Sections 189 and 5073, of Tenant’s parent or Affiliate, or (iii) a transferee of substantially all of the assets of Tenant (collectively, an “Affiliate”) along with any other entity which will qualify as an “affiliate” under CGCC 150 and 5031, shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 14, provided that Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease or such Affiliate, and such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease, or otherwise “releases” the Original Tenant from such obligations.

 

ARTICLE 15

 

SURRENDER OF PREMISES; OWNERSHIP AND

REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES

 

15.1                           Surrender of Premises.  No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in

 

41



 

writing by Landlord.  The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly terminated.  The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises or terminate any or all such sublessees or subtenancies.

 

15.2                           Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant.  Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of Section 8.5, this Article 15 and Section 29.33, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted.  Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, business and trade fixtures, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal.

 

ARTICLE 16

 

HOLDING OVER

 

If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination thereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to the product of (i) the Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease, and (ii) a percentage equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) during the first two (2) months immediately following the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, and two hundred percent (200%) thereafter.  Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other applicable term, covenant and agreement contained herein.  Nothing contained in this Article 16 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease.  The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law.  If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.

ARTICLE 17

 

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

 

Within ten (10) days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E, attached hereto (or such other form as may be reasonably required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Project, or any portion thereof), indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee or prospective mortgagee.  Any such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of all or any portion of the Project.  Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other commercially reasonable instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes.  At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord with its most recently prepared financial statement and financial statements of the two (2) years prior to the most recently prepared financial statement year.  Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant.  Failure of Tenant to timely execute, acknowledge and deliver such estoppel certificate or other commercially reasonable instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception.  Any such financial statement or other information which is marked “confidential” or “company secret(s)” (or is otherwise similarly marked by Tenant) shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed by Landlord to any third party (other than its partners, administrators, consultants, financial, legal and a prospective or current purchaser, mortgagee, or ground or underlying lessor of the Building or the Project, a prospective Transferee, and except as required by applicable law or in connection with a dispute or litigation hereunder or as required by a subpoena) except as specifically provided in this Article 17 and then only if the person to whom disclosure is made first agrees to be bound by the requirements of this Article 17.

 

ARTICLE 18

 

SUBORDINATION

 

Subject to Tenant’s receipt of an appropriate non-disturbance agreement(s) as set forth below, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Building or Project and to the lien of any mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrances now or hereafter in force against the Building or Project or any part thereof, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages, trust deeds or other encumbrances, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto.  Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed in lieu thereof (or if any ground lease is terminated), to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the lienholder or purchaser or any successors thereto upon any such foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof (or to the ground lessor), if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or

 

43



 

lienholder or ground lessor as the lessor under this Lease, provided such lienholder or purchaser or ground lessor shall agree to accept this Lease and not disturb Tenant’s occupancy, so long as Tenant timely pays the rent and observes and performs the TCCs of this Lease to be observed and performed by Tenant.  Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a fully executed commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement(s) (the Nondisturbance Agreement”) in favor of Tenant from any such ground lessor, mortgage holders or lien holders of Landlord who later come into existence at any time prior to the expiration of the Lease Term shall be in consideration of, and a condition precedent to, Tenant’s agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Article 18; provided Tenant shall execute and return such Nondisturbance Agreement to Landlord within ten (10) days of its receipt thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall require Tenant to waive any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, including, without limitation, Landlord’s obligation to fund the Improvement Allowance (and Tenant’s offset rights for such failure).  Landlord’s interest herein may be assigned as security at any time to any lienholder.  Tenant shall, within four (4) days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases.  Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale.

 

ARTICLE 19

 

DEFAULTS; REMEDIES

 

19.1                           Events of Default.  The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant:

 

19.1.1                  Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, within five (5) business days after Tenant’s receipt from Landlord of written notice that the same was not paid when due; or

 

19.1.2                  Except where a specific time period is otherwise set forth for Tenant’s performance in this Lease, in which event the failure to perform by Tenant within such time period shall be a default by Tenant under this Section 19.1.2, any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure such default, but in no event exceeding a period of time in excess of sixty (60) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; or

 

19.1.3                  To the extent permitted by law, a general assignment by Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease for the benefit of creditors, or the taking of any corporate action in furtherance of bankruptcy or dissolution whether or not there exists any proceeding under an insolvency or bankruptcy law, or the filing by or against Tenant or any guarantor of any

 

44



 

proceeding under an insolvency or bankruptcy law, unless in the case of a proceeding filed against Tenant or any guarantor the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days, or the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any guarantor, unless possession is restored to Tenant or such guarantor within thirty (30) days, or any execution or other judicially authorized seizure of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets located upon the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, unless such seizure is discharged within thirty (30) days; or

 

19.1.4                  Intentionally Omitted; or

 

19.1.5                  The failure by Tenant to observe or perform according to the provisions of Section 5.2, or 8.4 of this Lease, or Articles 14, 17 or 18 of this Lease where such failure continues for more than five (5) business days after notice from Landlord.

 

The notice periods provided herein are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice periods provided by law.

 

19.2                           Remedies Upon Default.  Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity (all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate and cumulative), the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever.

 

19.2.1                  Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:

 

(a)                                  The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus
 
(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; plus
 
(c)                                  The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
 
(d)                                 Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; and

 

45



 

(e)                                  At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.
 

The term “rent” as used in this Section 19.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others.  As used in Sections 19.2.1(a) and (b), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate set forth in Article 25 of this Lease, but in no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law.  As used in Section 19.2.1(c), above, the “worth at the time of award” 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%).

 

19.2.2                  Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations).  Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.

 

19.2.3                  Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies available under Sections 19.2.1 and 19.2.2, above, or any law or other provision of this Lease), without prior demand or notice except as required by applicable law, to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof.

 

19.3                           Subleases of Tenant.  Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 19, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, succeed to Tenant’s interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements.  In the event of Landlord’s election to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.

 

19.4                           Form of Payment After Default.  Following the occurrence of an event of default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to require that any or all subsequent amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, whether to cure the default in question or otherwise, be paid in the form of cash, money order, cashier’s or certified check drawn on an institution acceptable to Landlord, or by other means approved by Landlord, notwithstanding any prior practice of accepting payments in any different form.

 

19.5                           Efforts to Relet.  No re-entry or repossession, repairs, maintenance, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord’s interests hereunder, or any other action or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the

 

46



 

Premises, nor shall same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, unless express written notice of such intention is sent by Landlord to Tenant.  Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any right otherwise available under any law to redeem or reinstate this Lease.

 

19.6                           Landlord Default.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall be in default in the performance of the obligations required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease (i) if Landlord fails to timely fulfill its obligation to fund any portion of the Improvement Allowance pursuant to the terms set forth in the Tenant Work Letter or in the First Amendment Work Letter (which is to be attached to the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Office Lease), but only to the extent Landlord does not (A) subsequently cure such failure within twenty (20) business days following its receipt of written notice of such failure from Tenant (a “Payment Failure Notice”), or (B) deliver notice (a “Refusal Notice”) to Tenant within such twenty (20) business day period explaining (with reasonable specificity) Landlord’s reasons supporting Landlord’s position that the amounts described in the Payment Failure Notice are not, in fact, then due and payable by Landlord (in which case Landlord shall promptly fund the amount of the Improvement Allowance, if any, that Landlord does not contest is then due and payable by Landlord), or (ii) if Landlord fails to perform any other such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord’s failure to perform; provided, however, if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease if it shall commence such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion.  Upon any such default by Landlord under this Lease, Tenant may, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease to the contrary, exercise any of its rights provided at law or in equity.  Any award from a court or arbitrator in favor of Tenant requiring payment by Landlord which is not paid by Landlord within the time period directed by such award, may be offset by Tenant from Rent next due and payable under this Lease; provided, however, Tenant may not deduct the amount of the award against more than fifty percent (50%) of Base Rent next due and owing (until such time as the entire amount of such judgment is deducted).

(i) to the extent that Tenant maintains a “Working Capital,” as defined below, in excess of Thirty Million and No/100 Dollars ($30,000,000.00) for four (4) consecutive financial quarters during the Lease Term, a reduction of fifty percent (50%);

 

(ii) to the extent that Tenant maintains a Working Capital in excess of Thirty Million and No/100 Dollars ($30,000,000.00) for eight (8) consecutive financial quarters during the Lease Term, a reduction of one hundred percent (100%);

 

(iii) to the extent that Tenant maintains a Working Capital in excess of Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00) for four (4) consecutive financial quarters during the Lease Term, a reduction of one hundred percent (100%).

 

As soon as reasonably practical following the end of each financial quarter during the Lease Term, the L-C Amount shall be recalculated pursuant to the terms of Section 21.2.2.1, above, and any percentage reductions, which are applicable to the L-C pursuant to subparagraphs (i) through (iii), above, shall be applied in order to determine the then-existing amount of L-C which Tenant is required to post (the “Required L-C Amount”).  In the event the determined Required L-C Amount is less than the amount of the actual L-C then-posted by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to cause the amount of the then-current L-C to be reduced to the Required L-C Amount, and Landlord shall timely execute and deliver such commercially reasonable documents to the issuer(s) of the L-C as are presented to Landlord by such issuer(s) and as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the change to the Required L-C Amount.  Likewise, in the event that the Required L-C Amount is greater than the amount of the L-C then posted by Tenant, Tenant shall upon its receipt of written notice from Landlord (the “Reestablishment Notice”), cause the amount of the then-current L-C to be increased to equal the Required L-C Amount.  In addition, in the event that, following the completion of each financial quarter throughout the Lease Term (A) Tenant fails to deliver timely the unaudited quarterly financial statements, or the annual audited financial statements required for Tenant to make a determination with regard to such Required Thresholds, (B) Tenant is in economic default under

 

49



 

the Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) more than twice during the immediately preceding twelve (12) months, or (C) following any reduction of the L-C Amount under the terms of subparagraphs (i), (ii) or (iii), above, Tenant fails during any one (1) financial quarter thereafter to maintain a Working Capital in excess of Thirty Million and No/100 Dollars ($30,000,000.00), then Tenant shall, upon receipt of a Reestablishment Notice, cause the L-C to be reestablished with the then applicable L-C Amount (as determined in accordance with the terms of Section 22.2.2.1, above).  The L-C Amount shall thereafter be subject to conditional reduction as set forth herein.  For purposes of this Section 21.2.2, “Working Capital,” means then-current assets of Tenant less then-current liabilities from Tenant’s previous quarterly financial statements, which Working Capital shall include then-current receivables (zero (0) to sixty (60) days only).  In connection with this Section 21.2.2, Tenant shall provide Landlord (1) Tenant’s current financial statements (applicable to the financial quarter which just ended) certified by Tenant’s Chief Executive Officer and Tenant’s Chief Financial Officer, within thirty (30) business days following the end of each financial quarter during the Lease Term, (2) Tenant’s current annual financial statement (applicable to the financial year which just ended) audited and certified by an independent certified public accountant, within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each financial year during the Lease Term, and (3) a disclosure statement of any material adverse changes in Tenant’s business.  The financial thresholds set forth in subparagraphs (i) through (iii), above, are, collectively, the “Required Thresholds.

 

21.2.3                  FAILURE TO REINSTATE; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.  IN THE EVENT THAT TENANT FAILS, WITHIN TWENTY (20) DAYS FOLLOWING TENANT’S RECEIPT OF A REESTABLISHMENT NOTICE, TO CAUSE THE L-C TO BE REESTABLISHED IN THE REQUIRED L-C AMOUNT, THEN TENANT’S MONTHLY INSTALLMENT OF BASE RENT SHALL BE INCREASED BY ONE HUNDRED FIFTY PERCENT (150%) OF ITS THEN EXISTING LEVEL DURING THE PERIOD COMMENCING ON THE DATE WHICH IS TWENTY (20) DAYS AFTER TENANT’S RECEIPT OF SUCH REESTABLISHMENT NOTICE AND ENDING ON THE EARLIER TO OCCUR OF (I) THE DATE SUCH L-C IS REESTABLISHED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 21.2, OR (II) THE DATE WHICH IS NINETY (90) DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF SUCH REESTABLISHMENT NOTICE.  IN THE EVENT THAT TENANT FAILS, DURING SUCH NINETY (90) DAY PERIOD FOLLOWING THE DATE OF THE REESTABLISHMENT NOTICE, TO CAUSE THE L-C TO BE REESTABLISHED IN THE REQUIRED L-C AMOUNT, THEN TENANT’S MONTHLY INSTALLMENT OF BASE RENT SHALL BE INCREASED BY TWO HUNDRED PERCENT (200%) OF ITS THEN EXISTING LEVEL DURING THE PERIOD COMMENCING ON THE DATE WHICH IS NINETY (90) DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF SUCH REESTABLISHMENT NOTICE AND ENDING ON THE DATE SUCH L-C IS RE-ISSUED/REESTABLISHED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 21.2. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY LANDLORD AS A RESULT OF TENANT’S FAILURE TO TIMELY REESTABLISH THE L-C FOLLOWING THE REESTABLISHMENT NOTICE AS REQUIRED IN THIS SECTION 21.2, AND THAT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS LEASE, THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION 21.2.3 REPRESENT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH LANDLORD WILL INCUR AS A RESULT OF SUCH FAILURE, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT WAIVE OR AFFECT

LANDLORD’S RIGHTS AND TENANT’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER OTHER SECTIONS OF THIS LEASE (EXCEPT THAT THE PARTIES SPECIFICALLY AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING PROVISION WAS AGREED TO IN LIEU OF MAKING FAILURE TO RE-ESTABLISH THE L-C A DEFAULT UNDER THE LEASE).  THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PAYMENT OF SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO LANDLORD PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1671.  THE PARTIES HAVE SET FORTH THEIR INITIALS BELOW TO INDICATE THEIR AGREEMENT WITH THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 21.2.3.

TENANT’S INITIALS

 

 

21.2.4                  Application of Letter of Credit.  The L-C shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all the TCCs of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant during the Lease Term.  The L-C shall not be mortgaged, assigned or encumbered in any manner whatsoever by Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord.  If Tenant defaults with respect to any provisions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, or if Tenant fails to renew the L-C at least thirty (30) days before its expiration, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, draw upon all or any portion of the L-C for payment of any Rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any amount that Landlord may reasonably spend or may become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default.  The use, application or retention of the L-C, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the L-C and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled.  Any amount of the L-C which is drawn upon by Landlord, but is not used or applied by Landlord, shall be held by Landlord and deemed a security deposit (the “L-C Security Deposit”) and, in connection with such L-C Security Deposit, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, or any successor statute.  If any portion of the L-C is drawn upon and used or applied by Landlord, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, either (i) deposit cash with Landlord (which cash shall constitute part of the L-C Security Deposit) in an amount sufficient to cause the sum of the L-C Security Deposit and the amount of the remaining L-C to be equivalent to the amount of the L-C then required under this Lease (and if any portion of the L-C Security Deposit is thereafter used or applied, Tenant shall restore such L-C Security Deposit to the amount then required under this Lease pursuant to the foregoing), or (ii) reinstate the L-C to the amount then required under this Lease, in which case any unused portion of the then-existing L-C Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to transfer or mortgage its interest in the Project and in this Lease and Tenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer or mortgage, Landlord shall have the right to transfer or assign the L-C Security Deposit and/or the

 

51



 

L-C to the transferee or mortgagee, and in the event of such transfer, Tenant shall look solely to such transferee or mortgagee for the return of the L-C Security Deposit and/or the L-C, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be liable to Tenant for the return of the L-C.  Landlord shall pay all costs and fees, if any, charged by the issuing bank to transfer the L-C.  Tenant shall, within five (5) days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm Landlord’s transfer or assignment of the L-C Security Deposit and/or the L-C to such transferee or mortgagee.  If Tenant is not then in default under this Lease, the L-C Security Deposit and/or the L-C, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Tenant within forty-five (45) days following the expiration of the Lease Term.

 

ARTICLE 22

 

TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT

 

At any time during the Lease Term, subject to the TCCs of this Article 22 and Article 8 of this Lease, Tenant may install, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, but without the payment of any Rent or a license or similar fee or charge, a satellite or microwave dish or other communications, HVAC or other equipment servicing the business conducted by Tenant from within the Premises (all such equipment, including non-telecommunication equipment is, for the sake of convenience, defined collectively as the Telecommunications Equipment”) upon the roof of the Building.  The physical appearance and the size of the Telecommunications Equipment shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval, the location of any such installation of the Telecommunications Equipment shall be designated by Tenant subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval and Landlord may require Tenant to install screening around such Telecommunications Equipment, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, as reasonably designated by Landlord.  Tenant shall maintain such Telecommunications Equipment, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.  In the event Tenant elects to exercise its right to install the Telecommunication Equipment, then Tenant shall give Landlord prior notice thereof.  Tenant shall remove such Telecommunications Equipment upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and shall restore such area to the condition the same existed prior to the installation of such Telecommunications Equipment.  Such Telecommunications Equipment shall be installed pursuant to plans and specifications approved by Landlord, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.  Such Telecommunications Equipment shall, in all instances, comply with applicable governmental laws, codes, rules and regulations.  The rights contained in this Article 22 shall be personal to the Original Tenant and its Affiliates and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or an Affiliate (and not any assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant’s interest in this Lease) if the Original Tenant and/or an Affiliate is in occupancy of at least sixty percent (60%) of the then-existing Premises.  Landlord shall reserve the concurrent right to use the roof for its own use and for third-party use for installation of satellite dish and antenna devices similar to Tenant’s Telecommunications Equipment (collectively, the “Landlord TCE”), provided such Landlord TCE shall not interfere with Tenant’s operations on the roof of the Building, and provided Landlord maintains, restores and repairs the Building rooftop space associated with such Landlord TCE.  To the extent Landlord elects to install Landlord TCE on the Building rooftop, Landlord shall be responsible for the maintenance, repair and restoration of such Landlord TCE.  Landlord shall be responsible for (and shall make all necessary repairs and replacements for) any damage to Tenant’s Telecommunications Equipment

 

52



 

due to the actions or omissions of Landlord or Landlord Parties (or any third party to whom Landlord has granted roof access rights).  Tenant shall be responsible for (and shall make all necessary repairs and replacements for) any damage to the Landlord TCE due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant.

 

ARTICLE 23

 

SIGNS

 

23.1                           Prohibited Signage and Other Items.  Any signs, notices, logos, pictures, names or advertisements which are installed and that have not been separately approved by Landlord may be removed without notice by Landlord at the sole expense of Tenant.  Except as expressly permitted pursuant to Section 23.2, below, Tenant may not install any signs on the exterior or roof of the Project or the Common Areas.  Any signs, window coverings, or blinds (even if the same are located behind the Landlord-approved window coverings for the Building), or other items visible from the exterior of the Premises or Building, shall be subject to the prior approval of Landlord, in its sole discretion.

 

23.2                           Tenant’s SignageTenant shall be entitled to install the following signage in connection with Tenant’s lease of the Premises (collectively, the “Tenant’s Signage”):

 

(i)                     One (1) building sign identifying Tenant’s name and logo located at the top of the Building (the “Building Top Sign”), as more particularly identified on Exhibit A-2 attached hereto; and

 

(ii)                  Non-exclusive signage on a pro-rata portion (vis-á-vis the rentable square footage of the Premises as compared to the rentable square footage of the Building) of the monument located adjacent to the entrance of the Building (the “Building Monument Sign”).  Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, place a standard “owned and managed” sign on such Project Monument Sign, provided that such “owned and managed” sign shall not be larger than Tenant’s sign.  Landlord may also, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, install a small sign indicating its ownership and management of the Building in the interior of the Building lobby in a location and of a size reasonably approved by Tenant.

 

To the extent that Tenant leases all of the 10421 Building and the 10445 Building, Tenant shall be permitted to install, and the term “Tenant’s Signage” shall be revised to mean, all signage that is legally permitted in the Project; provided, however, Landlord shall retain the right for limited identification signage as identified in item (ii) above.

 

23.2.1                  Specifications and Permits.  Tenant’s Signage shall set forth Tenant’s name and logo as determined by Tenant in its sole discretion; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant’s Signage include an “Objectionable Name,” as that term is defined in Section 23.2.2, of this Lease.  The graphics, materials, color, design, lettering, lighting, size,

 

53



 

illumination, specifications and exact location of Tenant’s Signage (collectively, the “Sign Specifications”) shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall be consistent and compatible with the quality and nature of the Project and Landlord’s Building standard signage program.  For purposes of this Section 23.2.1, the reference to “name” shall mean name and/or logo.  In addition, Tenant’s Signage shall be subject to Tenant’s receipt of all required governmental permits and approvals and shall be subject to all Applicable Law and to any covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Project.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Tenant in obtaining all necessary governmental permits and approvals for Tenant’s Signage.  Tenant hereby acknowledges that, notwithstanding Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s Signage, Landlord has made no representation or warranty to Tenant with respect to the probability of obtaining all necessary governmental approvals and permits for Tenant’s Signage.  In the event Tenant does not receive the necessary governmental approvals and permits for Tenant’s Signage, Tenant’s and Landlord’s rights and obligations under the remaining TCCs of this Lease shall be unaffected.

 

23.2.2                  Objectionable Name.  To the extent Original Tenant desires to change the name and/or logo set forth on Tenant’s Signage, such name and/or logo shall not have a name which relates to an entity which is of a character or reputation, or is associated with a political faction or orientation, which is inconsistent with the quality of the Project, or which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of the Comparable Buildings (an “Objectionable Name”).  The parties hereby agree that the name “Favrille, Inc.,” or any reasonable derivation thereof, shall not be deemed an Objectionable Name.

 

23.2.3                  Termination of Right to Tenant’s Signage.  The rights contained in this Section 23.2 shall be personal to the Original Tenant and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant (and not any assignee, sublessee or transferee of the Original Tenant’s interest in this Lease) if the Original Tenant is in occupancy of no less than sixty percent (60%) of the then existing Premises.

 

23.2.4                  Cost and Maintenance.  The costs of the actual signs comprising Tenant’s Signage and the installation, design, construction, and any and all other costs associated with Tenant’s Signage, including, without limitation, utility charges and hook-up fees, permits, and maintenance and repairs, shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant; provided, however, up to a total of Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) of the actual costs of such initial installation, design and construction shall be subject to reimbursement from the Improvement Allowance pursuant to Section 2.2.1 of the Tenant Work Letter.  Should Tenant’s Signage require repairs and/or maintenance, as determined in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, Landlord shall have the right to provide notice thereof to Tenant and Tenant shall cause such repairs and/or maintenance to be performed within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, if such repairs and/or maintenance are reasonably expected to require longer than thirty (30) days to perform, Tenant shall commence such repairs and/or maintenance within such thirty (30) day period and shall diligently prosecute such repairs and maintenance to completion.  Should Tenant fail to perform such repairs and/or maintenance within the periods described in the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall, upon the delivery of an additional ten (10) business days’ prior written notice, have the right to cause such work to be performed and to charge Tenant as Additional Rent for the cost (including

 

54



 

a percentage of the cost thereof sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs or expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such repairs and/or maintenance) of such work.  Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, cause Tenant’s Signage to be removed and shall cause the areas in which such Tenant’s Signage was located to be restored to the condition existing immediately prior to the placement of such Tenant’s Signage except for ordinary wear and tear.  If Tenant fails to timely remove such Tenant’s Signage or to restore the areas in which such Tenant’s Signage was located, as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, then Landlord may perform such work, and all costs incurred by Landlord in so performing (including a percentage of the cost thereof sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs or expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such repairs and/or maintenance) shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor.  The TCCs of this Section 23.2.4 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

ARTICLE 24

 

COMPLIANCE WITH LAW

 

Tenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises or the Project which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule, regulation or requirement now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated (collectively, “Applicable Laws”).  At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with all such Applicable Laws which relate to (i) Tenant’s use of a portion of the Premises for non-general office use, (ii) the Alterations or Tenant Improvements in the Premises, or (iii) the Building Systems, and (iv) the Building Structure, but, as to the Building Structure, only to the extent such obligations are triggered by Tenant’s Alterations, the Tenant Improvements, the Tenant’s modification of the Building Structure or use of a portion of the Premises for non-general office use.  Should any standard or regulation now or hereafter be imposed on Landlord or Tenant by a state, federal or local governmental body charged with the establishment, regulation and enforcement of occupational, health or safety standards for employers, employees, landlords or tenants, then Tenant agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to comply promptly with such standards or regulations which are applicable to Tenant’s business.  The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any judicial action, regardless of whether Landlord is a party thereto, that Tenant has violated any of said governmental measures, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.  Landlord shall comply with all Applicable Laws relating to (a) the Building Structure, and (b) the exterior Project components, provided that compliance with such Applicable Laws is not the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease, and provided further that Landlord’s failure to comply therewith would (1) prohibit Tenant from obtaining or maintaining a certificate of occupancy for the Premises, (2) unreasonably and materially affect the safety of Tenant’s employees or create a significant health hazard for Tenant’s employees, (3) invalidate Tenant’s cGMP compliance status in, or materially and unreasonably prevent, hinder, or interrupt Tenant’s ability to continually function under cGMP conditions under the applicable laws and regulations of, California and the United States, and under the applicable statutes for any foreign regulatory body, including but not limited to, Canada, Europe and Asia, or (4) materially increase the costs incurred by Tenant to comply with its maintenance obligations under the TCCs of this Lease.  Landlord shall be

 

55



 

permitted to include in Operating Expenses any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord under this Article 24 to the extent consistent with the terms of Section 4.2.4, above.

 

ARTICLE 25

 

LATE CHARGES

 

If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) business days after said amount is due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount plus any attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder.  The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner.  In addition to the late charge described above, any Rent or other amounts owing hereunder which are not paid within ten (10) days after the date they are due shall bear interest from the date when due until paid at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the annual “Bank Prime Loan” rate cited in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release Publication G.13(415), published on the first Tuesday of each calendar month (or such other comparable index as Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably agree upon if such rate ceases to be published) plus four (4) percentage points, and (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law.

Landlord reserves the right at all reasonable times (during Building Hours with respect to items (i) and (ii) below) and upon at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency) and at all times (except in the case of an emergency) accompanied by an authorized representative of Tenant and subject to Tenant’s reasonable rules and regulations, to enter the Premises to (i) inspect them; (ii) show the Premises to prospective purchasers, or to current or prospective mortgagees, ground or underlying lessors or insurers, or during the last nine (9) months of the Lease Term, to prospective tenants; (iii) post notices of nonresponsibility; or (iv) alter, improve or repair the Premises or the Building as permitted or required by the terms of this Lease, or for structural alterations, repairs or improvements to the Building Structure.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 27, Landlord may enter the Premises at any time to (A) perform services required of Landlord under this Lease after reasonable notice to Tenant; (B) take possession due to any breach of this Lease in the manner provided herein; and (C) perform any covenants of Tenant which Tenant fails to perform (after any applicable notice and cure periods).  Landlord may make any such entries without the abatement of Rent, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, and may take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes; provided, however, except for (i) emergencies, (ii) repairs, alterations, improvements or additions required by governmental or quasi-governmental authorities or court order or decree, or (iii) repairs which are the obligation of Tenant hereunder, any such entry shall be performed in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises and shall be performed after normal business hours if reasonably practical.  With respect to items (ii) and (iii) above, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of, or access to, the Premises.  Except as otherwise set forth in Section 6.4, Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, lost profits, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby.  For each of the above purposes, Landlord shall at all times have a key with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and special security areas designated in advance by Tenant.  In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises.  Any entry into the Premises by Landlord in the manner hereinbefore described shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises.  No provision of this Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs, alterations or decorations except as otherwise expressly agreed to be performed by Landlord herein.

 

ARTICLE 28

 

TENANT PARKING

 

Tenant shall be entitled to utilize, without charge, commencing on the Lease Commencement Date, the amount of parking spaces set forth in Section 9 of the Summary, on a monthly basis throughout the Lease Term, which parking spaces shall pertain to the Project parking facility.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for the full amount

 

57



 

of any taxes imposed by any governmental authority in connection with the renting of such parking spaces by Tenant or the use of the parking facility by Tenant.  Tenant’s continued right to use the parking spaces is conditioned upon Tenant abiding by all rules and regulations which are prescribed from time to time for the orderly operation and use of the parking facility where the parking spaces are located, including any sticker or other identification system established by Landlord, Tenant’s cooperation in seeing that Tenant’s employees and visitors also comply with such rules and regulations and Tenant not being in default under this Lease.  Subject to Landlord’s continued satisfaction of its obligation to provide Tenant the number of parking spaces required by the TCCs of this Lease, Landlord specifically reserves the right to change the size, configuration, design, layout and all other aspects of the Project parking facility at any time and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may, without incurring any liability to Tenant and without any abatement of Rent under this Lease, from time to time, close-off or restrict access to the Project parking facility for purposes of permitting or facilitating any such construction, alteration or improvements.  Landlord may delegate its responsibilities hereunder to a parking operator in which case such parking operator shall have all the rights of control attributed hereby to the Landlord.  The parking spaces rented by Tenant pursuant to this Article 28 are provided to Tenant solely for use by Tenant’s own personnel and such spaces may not be transferred, assigned, subleased or otherwise alienated by Tenant without Landlord’s prior approval; provided, however, Landlord shall be deemed to have granted such approval with regard to Non-Transfers and Transfers approved pursuant to the TCCs of Article 14.  Tenant may validate visitor parking by such method or methods as the Landlord may establish, at the validation rate from time to time generally applicable to visitor parking.

 

ARTICLE 29

29.15                     Right to Lease.  Subject to the TCC’s of Section 1.3 of this Lease, Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Project as Landlord in the exercise

around the Premises any Hazardous Materials, except if stored, properly packaged and labeled, disposed of and/or used in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws.  In addition, Tenant agrees that it: (i) shall not cause or suffer to occur, the release, discharge, escape or emission of any Hazardous Materials at, upon, under or within the Premises or any contiguous or adjacent premises; (ii) shall notify Landlord promptly following receipt of any knowledge with respect to any actual release, discharge, escape or emission (whether past or present) of any Hazardous Materials at, upon, under or within the Premises; (iii) shall promptly forward to Landlord copies of all orders, notices, permits, applications and other communications and reports in connection with any release, discharge, escape or emission of any Hazardous Materials at, upon, under or within the Premises or any contiguous or adjacent premises, and (iv) in connection with Tenant’s surrender of the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver the same free of Hazardous Materials brought upon, kept or used in or about the Premises by any persons during the Lease Term or the term of the Original Lease, and shall obtain and provide to Landlord (A) all Hazardous Materials Clearances, (B) evidence from the applicable governmental entities of “closure” of all permits which had been required for Tenant’s use of the Premises, together with “no further action letters” from such applicable governmental entities and a “no further action letter” for unrestricted future use of the Premises, and (C) a Phase I report with regard to the Premises.  Such Phase I report shall be (x) performed by an environmental assessment or engineering firm and on a scope of work acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion, (y) shall identify Landlord as a beneficiary of such report, and (z) completed no earlier than six (6) months prior to the expiration of this Lease and no later than the Lease Expiration Date; provided, however, in the event this Lease is terminated early for any reason, Tenant shall complete such Phase I report within a commercially reasonable time immediately following such early termination of this Lease.  Such Phase I report shall either (1) indicate that the property shows no evidence of reasonably possible hazardous materials contamination of the building, soil or groundwater; or (2) recommend further investigation of the site, in which event, if such further investigation relates to Tenant’s or the Tenant Parties’ use of the Premises, then it shall be performed by an environmental assessment or engineering firm and on a scope of work acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion and at the Tenant’s sole expense.  Such additional investigation, if any, shall be completed within sixty (60) days of such recommendation.  Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that for purposes of establishing a baseline, Landlord shall, promptly following the date of this Lease, obtain and provide to Tenant an updated Phase I report with regard to the Premises; provided, however, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for one-half (½) of the cost or fees reasonably incurred for such report as Additional Rent.

29.33.5            Indemnifications.   Landlord agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the Tenant and the Tenant Parties from and against any liability, obligation, damage or costs, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs, resulting directly or indirectly from any use, presence, removal or disposal of any Hazardous Materials to the extent such liability, obligation, damage or costs (i) was a result of actions caused or permitted by Landlord or a Landlord Party, or (ii) arose prior to the date of Tenant’s occupancy of any portion of the Premises, including, without limitation, Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises under the

 

67



 

terms of the Original Lease.  Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord and the Landlord Parties from and against any liability, obligation, damage or costs, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs, resulting directly or indirectly from any use, presence, removal or disposal of any Hazardous Materials or breach of any provision of this section, to the extent such liability, obligation, damage or costs was a result of actions caused or permitted by Tenant or a Tenant Party.  These mutual environmental indemnities shall survive any expiration or termination of this Lease, and are not affected by any claims of breach of any other provisions of this Lease.

 

29.33.6            Ongoing Obligations.  All obligations of Tenant hereunder not fully performed as of the termination of the Lease Term, including the obligations of Tenant pursuant to this Section 29.33, shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, including, without limitation, indemnity obligations, payment obligations with respect to Rent and obligations concerning the condition and repair of the Premises.

 

29.34                     Development of the Project.

 

29.34.1            Subdivision.  Landlord reserves the right to further subdivide all or a portion of the Project.  Tenant agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand by Landlord and in the form requested by Landlord, any additional documents needed to conform this Lease to the circumstances resulting from such subdivision, which shall be limited to description of the Project and/or Building.

 

29.34.2            The Other Improvements.  If portions of the Project or property adjacent to the Project (collectively, the “Other Improvements”) are owned by an entity other than Landlord, Landlord, at its option, may enter into an agreement with the owner or owners of any or all of the Other Improvements to provide (i) for reciprocal rights of access and/or use of the Project and the Other Improvements, (ii) for the common management, operation, maintenance, improvement and/or repair of all or any portion of the Project and the Other Improvements, (iii) for the allocation of a portion of the Direct Expenses to the Other Improvements and the operating expenses and taxes for the Other Improvements to the Project, and (iv) for the use or improvement of the Other Improvements and/or the Project in connection with the improvement, construction, and/or excavation of the Other Improvements and/or the Project; provided that none of the foregoing materially adversely interfere with Tenant’s rights, or increase Tenant’s financial obligations, under this Lease.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to limit or otherwise affect Landlord’s right to convey all or any portion of the Project or any other of Landlord’s rights described in this Lease.

 

29.34.3            Construction of Project and Other Improvements.  Tenant acknowledges that portions of the Project and/or the Other Improvements may be under construction following Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, and that such construction may result in levels of noise, dust, obstruction of access, etc. which are in excess of that present in a fully constructed project.  Landlord shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption to Tenant and Tenant’s business from such construction and in no event shall Landlord be entitled to use Tenant’s parking areas for construction staging, storage of equipment or other construction related activities without Tenant’s approval, which may be granted or withheld in

 

68



 

Tenant’s sole discretion.  Tenant hereby waives any and all rent offsets or claims of constructive eviction which may arise in connection with such construction.

 

29.34.4            Tenant’s Lease of the Entire ProjectTo the extent that Tenant leases all of the 10421 Building and the 10445 Building, the terms of this Section 29.34 shall not apply.

This Tenant Work Letter shall set forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction of the Premises.  This Tenant Work Letter is essentially organized chronologically and addresses the issues of the construction of the Premises, in sequence, as such issues will arise during the actual construction of the Premises.  All references in this Tenant Work Letter to Articles or Sections of “this Lease” shall mean the relevant portions of Articles 1 through 29 of the Amended and Restated Office Lease to which this Tenant Work Letter is attached as Exhibit B, and all references in this Tenant Work Letter to Sections of “this Tenant Work Letter” shall mean the relevant portions of Sections 1 through 5 of this Tenant Work Letter.

 

SECTION 1

 

PREMISES

 

Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant has been occupying the Premises pursuant to the Original Lease.  Except as specifically set forth herein or in the Lease, Landlord shall not be obligated to construct or install any improvements or facilities of any kind in the Premises, and Tenant shall continue to accept the Premises in its currently-existing, “as-is” condition, subject to Landlord express obligations set forth in Article 7 of this Lease, including, without limitation, with respect to the Building Structure. 

 

SECTION 2

 

TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

 

2.1                                 Improvement Allowance.  Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time improvement allowance (the “Improvement Allowance”) in the amount of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) for the costs relating to the “hard costs” of the construction of Tenant’s improvements which are permanently affixed to the Premises (the “Tenant Improvements”) and Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that all such Tenant Improvements shall, upon completion of the same, be and become a part of the Premises and the property of Landlord.  In no event shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements pursuant to this Tenant Work Letter in a total amount which exceeds the Improvement Allowance.

 

2.2                                 Disbursement of the Improvement Allowance.

 

2.2.1                        Improvement Allowance Items.  Except as otherwise set forth in this Tenant Work Letter, the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord (each of which disbursements shall be made pursuant to Landlord’s disbursement process) for costs related to the construction of the Tenant Improvements and for the following items and costs (collectively the “Improvement Allowance Items”):

 

1



 

2.2.1.1               The hard cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, testing and inspection costs, freight elevator usage, hoisting and trash removal costs, and contractors’ fees and general conditions;

 

2.2.1.2               The cost of any changes in the Base Building when such changes are required by the Construction Drawings (including if such changes are due to the fact that such work is prepared on an unoccupied basis), provided that such cost shall not include any architectural and/or engineering fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith;

 

2.2.1.3               The cost of any changes to the Tenant Improvements required by Code;

 

2.2.1.4               The cost of the “Landlord Supervision Fee,” as that term is defined in Section 4.2.2 of this Tenant Work Letter; and

 

2.2.1.5               All other costs required or allowed by the terms of this Tenant Work Letter to be expended by Landlord in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

 

Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that no portion of the Improvement Allowance may be used for any “soft costs” in connection with the design, permitting or construction of the Tenant Improvements, which soft costs shall include, without limitation, (i) payment of the fees of the “Architect” and the “Engineers,” as those terms are defined in Section 3.1 of this Tenant Work Letter, (ii) the payment of plan check, permit and license fees relating to construction of the Tenant Improvements, and (iii) the cost of any of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures or equipment.

 

2.3                                 Standard Tenant Improvement Package.  Landlord has established specifications (the “Building Standard Tenant Improvements”) for the Building standard components to be used in the construction of the Tenant Improvements in the office areas of the Premises, which Building Standard Tenant Improvements are set forth on Schedule 1, attached hereto.  The quality of Tenant Improvements shall be equal to or of greater quality than the quality of the Building Standard Tenant Improvements.

 

2.4                                 Removal of Above Building Standard Tenant Improvements.  “Above Standard Tenant Improvements” shall mean (a) any part of the office portions of the Tenant Improvements which do not constitute Building Standard Tenant Improvements; (b) a configuration of the Tenant Improvements which is not usual and customary for either normal occupancy or generic wet/dry lab space; and (c) Tenant Improvements of a nature specific to the cGMP Standards.  Landlord may require that Tenant, upon the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease, remove any Above Standard Tenant Improvements in the lab portion of the Premises identified by Landlord concurrently with Landlord’s review and approval of the Approved Working Drawings to the extent such Tenant Improvements are unique and particular to Tenant vis-à-vis generic wet/dry lab space (collectively, the “Extraordinary Alterations”), and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal (reasonable wear and tear excepted); provided, however, if Landlord, in its approval of any Above Standard Tenant Improvements, fails to address the removal requirement with regard to particular Above

 

2



 

Standard Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall be deemed to have agreed to waive the removal requirement with regard to such particular Above Standard Tenant Improvements; provided further, however, in no event shall identified Extraordinary Alterations include improvements which are industry standard improvements in research and development wet labs.

 

SECTION 3

 

CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS

 

3.1                                 Selection of Architect/Construction Drawings.  Tenant shall retain an architect/space planner selected by Tenant, subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval (the “Architect”) to prepare the “Construction Drawings,” as that term is defined in this Section 3.1.  Tenant shall retain the engineering consultants selected by Tenant, subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval (the “Engineers”) to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, lifesafety, and sprinkler work in the Premises, which work is not part of the Base Building.  Landlord shall approve or disapprove of Tenant’s proposed Architect or Engineers, as the case may be, within five (5) business days following Tenant’s submission of the name(s) of Tenant’s proposed Architects or Engineers, respectively, together with all documentation and other information reasonably required by Landlord.  The plans and drawings to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers hereunder shall be known collectively as the “Construction Drawings.”  All Construction Drawings shall comply with the drawing format and specifications determined by Landlord, and shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Tenant and Architect shall verify, in the field, the dimensions and conditions as shown on the relevant portions of the base building plans, and Tenant and Architect shall be solely responsible for the same, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith.  Landlord’s review of the Construction Drawings as set forth in this Section 3, shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord’s review of the same, or obligate Landlord to review the same, for quality, design, Code compliance or other like matters.  Accordingly, notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord’s space planner, architect, engineers, and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the Construction Drawings, and Tenant’s waiver and indemnity set forth in this Lease shall specifically apply to the Construction Drawings.

 

3.2                                 Final Space Plan.  Tenant shall supply Landlord with four (4) copies signed by Tenant of its final space plan for the Premises before any architectural working drawings or engineering drawings have been commenced.  The final space plan (the “Final Space Plan”) shall include a layout and designation of all offices, rooms and other partitioning, their intended use, and equipment to be contained therein.  Landlord may request clarification or more specific drawings for special use items not included in the Final Space Plan.  Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Final Space Plan, (i) approve the Final Space Plan, (ii) approve the Final Space Plan subject to specified conditions to be complied with when the Final Working Drawings are submitted by Tenant to Landlord, or (iii) disapprove the Final Space Plan and return the same to Tenant with detailed requested revisions.  If Landlord disapproves the Final Space Plan, Tenant shall resubmit the Final Space Plan to Landlord, and

 

3



 

Landlord shall approve or disapprove of the resubmitted Final Space Plan, based upon the criteria set forth in this Section 3.2 (except that Landlord’s disapproval of the Final Space Plan, as resubmitted, shall be final), within five (5) business days after Landlord receives such resubmitted Final Space Plan.  If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall promptly cause the Final Space Plan to be revised to correct any deficiencies or other matters Landlord may reasonably require.

 

3.3                                 Final Working Drawings.  After the Final Space Plan has been approved by Landlord, Tenant shall supply the Engineers with a complete listing of standard and non-standard equipment and specifications, including, without limitation, B.T.U. calculations, electrical requirements and special electrical receptacle requirements for the Premises, to enable the Engineers and the Architect to complete the “Final Working Drawings” (as that term is defined below) in the manner as set forth below.  Upon the approval of the Final Space Plan by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall promptly cause the Architect and the Engineers to complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Premises, and Architect shall compile architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing working drawings in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits (which may be done by subspecialty if such subspecialty will be separately permitted by the City) (collectively, the “Final Working Drawings”) and shall submit the same to Landlord for Landlord’s approval.  Tenant shall supply Landlord with four (4) copies signed by Tenant of such Final Working Drawings.  Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Final Working Drawings, (i) approve the Final Working Drawings, (ii) approve the Final Working Drawings subject to specified conditions to be satisfied by Tenant prior to submitting the Approved Working Drawings for permits as set forth in Section 3.4, below, or (iii) disapprove the Final Working Drawings and return the same to Tenant with detailed requested revisions.  If Landlord disapproves the Final Working Drawings, Tenant shall resubmit the Final Working Drawings to Landlord, and Landlord shall approve or disapprove of the resubmitted Final Working Drawings (except that Landlord’s disapproval of the Final Working Drawings, as resubmitted, shall be final), within five (5) business days after Landlord receives such resubmitted Final Working Drawings.  If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall immediately revise the Final Working Drawings in accordance with such review and any disapproval of Landlord in connection therewith.  In addition, if the Final Working Drawings or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto shall require alterations in the Base Building (as contrasted with the Tenant Improvements), and if Landlord in its sole and exclusive discretion agrees to any such alterations, and notifies Tenant of the need and cost for such alterations, then Tenant shall pay, at its sole cost and expense, the cost of such required changes upon receipt of bills therefor.

 

3.4                                 Approved Working Drawings.  Notwithstanding anything in this Tenant Work Letter to the contrary, Tenant shall not commence (or allow the commencement of) the construction of the Tenant Improvements until the Final Working Drawings are approved in writing by Landlord (the “Approved Working Drawings”).  After approval by Landlord of the Final Working Drawings, Tenant may submit the same to the appropriate municipal authorities for all applicable building permits.  Tenant hereby agrees that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s consultants shall be responsible for obtaining any building permit or certificate of occupancy for the Premises and that obtaining the same shall be Tenant’s responsibility; provided, however, that Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in executing permit applications and performing other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to obtain any such permit or certificate of

occupancy.  Subject to the terms of Section 4.2.1, below, no changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Working Drawings may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.

 

SECTION 4

 

CONSTRUCTION OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

 

4.1                                 The Contractor.  Tenant shall select, subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval, three (3) licensed general contractors (the “Bidding Contractors”) to bid on the construction of the Tenant Improvements.  Following such selection, Tenant shall solicit bids from the Bidding Contractors and, following such bidding process, shall select which Bidding Contractor shall be the contractor to construct the Tenant Improvements (the “Contractor”).  Landlord shall independently retain the Contractor to construct the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings.  All subcontractors, materialmen and suppliers are subject to Tenant’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed,

 

4.2                                 Construction of Tenant Improvements by Contractor under the Supervision of Landlord and Tenant.

 

4.2.1                        Construction Contract; Over-Allowance Amount.  Landlord and Tenant shall jointly negotiate and prepare the form of the construction contract (the “Contract”) to be executed by and between Landlord and the Contractor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Contract shall expressly state that all “change orders” which (x) involve the expenditure of more than $25,000.00 in the aggregate; (y) adversely affect the systems and equipment of the Building or the Building Structure, or (z) adversely affect the exterior appearance of the Building, must be approved in advance by Landlord and Tenant in writing.  Prior to the commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and after Tenant has accepted all bids for the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall submit to Tenant, for Tenant’s review and approval, a detailed breakdown, by trade, of the final costs to be incurred or which have been incurred, as set forth more particularly in Sections 2.2.1.1 through 2.2.1.5, above, in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements, which costs form a basis for the amount of the Contract (the “Final Costs”).  Prior to the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant and Landlord shall identify the amount (the “Over-Allowance Amount”) equal to the difference between the amount of the Final Costs and the Improvement Allowance (less any portion thereof already disbursed by Landlord, or in the process of being disbursed by Landlord, on or before the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements).  To the extent there exists an Over-Allowance Amount, then following Landlord’s disbursement of ninety percent (90%) of the Improvement Allowance to the Contractor (i.e., all of such Improvement Allowance minus a ten percent (10%) retention (the “Final Retention”) which Final Retention shall only be disbursed by Landlord to the Contractor following the completion of the Tenant Improvements and in accordance with the terms of the Contract), Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost, pay to Contractor an amount equal to the total amount then due and owing to the Contractor (other than any corresponding Final Retention which shall be paid concurrently with Landlord’s payment of its portion of the Final Retention to the Contractor), and such payment by Tenant shall be a condition to Landlord’s obligation to pay the Final Retention.  In

 

5



 

no event shall any delays resulting from any failure by Tenant to pay any such amount be deemed to be a Landlord Caused Delay (as that term is defined in Section 5.1, below).  In the event that, after the Final Costs have been determined, any revisions, changes, or substitutions shall be made to the Construction Drawings or the Tenant Improvements, any additional costs which arise in connection with such revisions, changes or substitutions or any other additional costs shall be deemed to be an addition to the Over-Allowance Amount.

 

4.2.2                        Supervision of Contractor.  Landlord and Tenant shall jointly supervise the construction of the Tenant Improvements by Contractor.  Landlord and Tenant shall mutually cooperate with each other in all phases of such supervision in order to for the Tenant Improvements to be completed in a timely manner in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings.  Notwithstanding such joint supervision, Tenant shall pay a construction supervision and management fee (the “Landlord Supervision Fee”) to Landlord in an amount equal to the product of (A) one percent (1%), and (B) the costs incurred with the Improvement Allowance Items identified in Sections 2.2.1.12.2.1.3, and 2.2.1.5 (whether paid for via the Improvement Allowance or as an Over-Allowance Amount, which Landlord Supervision Fee shall be for services relating to the coordination of the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

 

4.2.3                        Contractor’s Warranties and Guaranties.  Landlord hereby assigns to Tenant all warranties and guaranties by Contractor relating to the Tenant Improvements, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord relating to, or arising out of the construction of, the Tenant Improvements and which claims are covered by such warranties.

 

4.2.4                        Indemnity.  Tenant’s indemnity of Landlord as set forth in this Lease shall also apply with respect to any and all costs, losses, damages, injuries and liabilities incurred by Landlord Parties and related in any way to any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Architect at the Project; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the extent of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

4.2.5                        Requirements of Contractor.  The Contractor shall guarantee to Landlord and for the benefit of Tenant that the portion of the Tenant Improvements for which it is responsible shall be free from any defects in workmanship and materials for a period of not less than one (1) year from the date of completion thereof, and that the Contractor shall be responsible for the replacement or repair, without additional charge, of all work done or furnished in accordance with its contract that shall become defective within one (1) year after the later to occur of (i) completion of the work performed by such contractor or subcontractors and (ii) the Lease Commencement Date.  The correction of such work shall include, without additional charge, all additional expenses and damages incurred in connection with such removal or replacement of all or any part of the Tenant Improvements, and/or the Building and/or common areas that may be damaged or disturbed thereby.  All such warranties or guarantees as to materials or workmanship of or with respect to the Tenant Improvements shall be contained in the Contract or subcontract and shall be written such that such guarantees or warranties shall inure to the benefit of both Landlord and Tenant, as their respective interests may appear, and may be directly enforced by either.  Landlord covenants to give to Tenant any assignment or other assurances which may be necessary to effect such right of direct enforcement.

 

4.2.6                        Insurance Requirements.

 

 

6



 

4.2.6.1               General Coverages.  Contractor and all subcontractors shall carry worker’s compensation insurance covering all of their respective employees, and shall also carry public liability insurance, including property damage, all with limits, in form and with companies as are required to be carried by Tenant as set forth in this Lease.

 

4.2.6.2               Special Coverages.  “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and such other insurance as Landlord may require, it being understood and agreed that the Tenant Improvements shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to this Lease immediately upon completion thereof.  Such insurance shall be in amounts and shall include such extended coverage endorsements as may be reasonably required by Landlord including, but not limited to, the requirement that all Contractor and all subcontractors shall carry excess liability and Products and Completed Operation Coverage insurance, each in amounts not less than $500,000 per incident, $1,000,000 in aggregate, and in form and with companies as are required to be carried by Tenant as set forth in this Lease.

 

4.2.6.3               General Terms.  Certificates for all insurance carried pursuant to this Section 4.2.6.3 shall be delivered to Landlord and Tenant before the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements and before the Contractor’s equipment is moved onto the site.  All such policies of insurance must contain a provision that the company writing said policy will give Landlord and Tenant thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation or lapse of the effective date or any reduction in the amounts of such insurance.  In the event that the Tenant Improvements are damaged by any cause during the course of the construction thereof, Landlord shall immediately repair the same.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Contractor and all subcontractors maintain all of the foregoing insurance coverage in force until the Tenant Improvements are fully completed and accepted by Tenant, except for any Products and Completed Operation Coverage insurance, which is to be maintained for ten (10) years following completion of the work and acceptance by Landlord and Tenant.  All policies carried under this Section 4.2.6.3 shall insure Landlord and Tenant, as their interests may appear, as well as Contractor and Tenant’s Agents.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all insurance, except Workers’ Compensation, maintained by Contractor and all subcontractors shall preclude subrogation claims by the insurer against anyone insured thereunder.  Such insurance shall provide that it is primary insurance as respects the owner and that any other insurance maintained by owner is excess and noncontributing with the insurance required hereunder.  The requirements for the foregoing insurance shall not derogate from the provisions for indemnification of Landlord by Tenant under Section 4.2.4 of this Tenant Work Letter.

 

4.2.7                        Governmental Compliance.  The Tenant Improvements shall comply in all respects with the following:  (i) the Code and other state, federal, city or quasi-governmental laws, codes, ordinances and regulations, as each may apply according to the rulings of the controlling public official, agent or other person; (ii) applicable standards of the American Insurance Association (formerly, the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and the National Electrical Code; and (iii) building material manufacturer’s specifications.

 

4.2.8                        Inspection.  Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to inspect the Tenant Improvements at all times, provided however, that Landlord’s or Tenant’s failure to

 

7



 

inspect the Tenant Improvements shall in no event constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s or Tenant’s, respectively, rights hereunder nor shall any such inspection of the Tenant Improvements constitute either party’s approval of the same.  Should either party disapprove any portion of the Tenant Improvements based on the failure of the Tenant Improvements to conform to the Final Working Drawings, the disapproving party shall notify the other in writing of such disapproval and shall specify the items disapproved.  Any defects or deviations in, and/or such disapproval of, the Tenant Improvements shall be rectified by Landlord.

 

4.2.9                        Meetings.  Commencing upon Tenant’s selection of the Contractor and Architect, Landlord and Tenant shall hold regular meetings at a reasonable time (but in no event to be required more often than weekly), with the Architect and the Contractor (or their agents) regarding the progress of the preparation of Construction Drawings and the construction of the Tenant Improvements, which meetings shall be held at a location reasonably designated by Tenant or, in Landlord’s discretion, at the Premises.  In addition, minutes shall be taken at all such meetings, a copy of which minutes shall be promptly delivered to Landlord.  One such meeting each month shall include the review of Contractor’s current request for payment.

 

4.3                                 Notice of Completion; Copy of Record Set of Plans.  Within ten (10) days after completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the county in which the Building is located in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, and shall furnish a copy thereof to Tenant upon such recordation.  If Landlord fails to do so, Tenant may execute and file the same on behalf of Landlord as Landlord’s agent for such purpose, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense.  At the conclusion of construction, (i) Landlord and Tenant shall cause the Architect and Contractor (A) to update the Approved Working Drawings as necessary to reflect all changes made to the Approved Working Drawings during the course of construction, (B) to certify to the best of their knowledge that the “record-set” of as-built drawings are true and correct, which certification shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease, and (C) to deliver to Landlord and Tenant two (2) sets of copies of such record set of drawings within ninety (90) days following issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Premises, and (ii) Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a copy, bound in a binder (with an index), of all warranties, guaranties, and operating manuals and information relating to the improvements, equipment, and systems in the Premises.

 

4.4                                 Cooperation and Joint Efforts.  Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements will require both of Landlord and Tenant to mutually cooperate in good faith, using diligent and commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement or otherwise cooperate in connection with a significant amount of design and construction milestones and action items, only the most significant of which milestones and items are specifically addressed in this Tenant Work Letter.  Landlord and Tenant each hereby commit to so cooperate in good faith, and to use such diligent and commercially reasonable efforts.  Such cooperative efforts shall include the parties’ prompt sharing of information with regard to municipal or local planning group meetings which may affect the construction of the Tenant Improvements so as to provide all relevant parties an opportunity to attend the same.

5.1                                 Landlord Caused Delays.  If there shall be a delay or there are delays in the “Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements” (as that term is defined in Section 5.4, below) due to a “Landlord Caused Delay,” then Tenant shall be entitled to the “Substantial Completion Rent Abatement” as more particularly set forth in Section 5.3, below.  As used in this Tenant Work Letter, “Landlord Caused Delay” shall mean actual delays to the extent resulting from the acts or omissions of Landlord including, but not limited to (i) failure of Landlord to timely approve or disapprove any Construction Drawings; (ii) material and unreasonable interference by Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors with the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements and which objectively preclude or delay the construction of tenant improvements in the Building by any person, which interference relates to access by Tenant, or the Contractor to the Building or any Building facilities (including loading docks and freight elevators) or service (including temporary power and parking areas as provided herein) during normal construction hours, or the use thereof during normal construction hours; (iii) delays due to the acts or failures to act of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors including without limitation any such acts or failures to act with respect to payment of the Improvement Allowance. 

 

5.2                                 Determination of a Landlord Caused Delay.  If Tenant contends that a Landlord Caused Delay has occurred, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing (the “Delay Notice”) of the event that constitutes such Landlord Caused Delay.  If such action, inaction or circumstance qualifies as a Landlord Caused Delay, then a Landlord Caused Delay shall be deemed to have occurred commencing on the date such action, inaction or circumstance first occurred, and ending on the date such delay ends.  Each day during such period shall be referred to herein as a “Landlord Delay Day;” provided, however, to the extent Tenant is aware (or using commercially reasonable due diligence, should be aware) of an event that otherwise constitutes a Landlord Caused Delay and fails to immediately provide a Delay Notice to Landlord, then the number of Landlord Delay Days shall be reduced by the number of calendar days occurring during the period commencing on the date when Tenant became aware (or using commercially reasonable due diligence, should have become aware) of such event and the date upon which Tenant actually provides a Delay Notice to Landlord in connection with the same. 

 

5.3                                 Substantial Completion Rent Abatement.  In the event a Landlord Delay shall be determined to have occurred as set forth in Section 5.2, above, then commencing on February 1, 2007, and continuing for each Landlord Delay Day (such period, the “Substantial Commencement Rent Abatement Period”), Tenant shall receive a day-for-day abatement of the Base Rent otherwise attributable to the 10421 Premises (as opposed to the 10445 Premises) (the “Substantial Completion Rent Abatement”) for each Landlord Delay Day.

 

5.4                                 Definition of Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements.  For purposes of this Section 5, “Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements” shall mean completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises pursuant to the Approved Working Drawings as evidenced by a Certificate of Completion from the Architect,

with the exception of any punch list items and any tenant fixtures, work-stations, built-in furniture, or equipment to be installed by Tenant or under the supervision of Contractor.

 

SECTION 6

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

6.1                                 Tenant’s Representative.  Tenant has designated Richard Murawski and Tamara Seymour as its representatives with respect to the matters set forth in this Tenant Work Letter, each of whom shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of the Tenant as required in this Tenant Work Letter.

 

6.2                                 Landlord’s Representative.  Landlord has designated Jim Edwards as its sole representatives with respect to the matters set forth in this Tenant Work Letter, who, until further notice to Tenant, shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of the Landlord as required in this Tenant Work Letter.

 

6.3                                 Time of the Essence in This Tenant Work Letter.  Unless otherwise indicated, all references herein to a “number of days” shall mean and refer to calendar days.  If any item requiring approval is timely disapproved by Landlord, the procedure for preparation of the document and approval thereof shall be repeated until the document is approved by Landlord.

 

6.4                                 Tenant’s Lease Default.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Lease, if an economic or material default (after applicable notice and cure periods, if any) as described in the Lease or this Tenant Work Letter has occurred at any time on or before the substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements, then (i) in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Landlord pursuant to this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to withhold payment of all or any portion of the Improvement Allowance(in which case, Tenant shall be responsible for any delay in the substantial completion of the Premises caused thereby), and (ii) all other obligations of Landlord under the terms of this Tenant Work Letter shall be forgiven until such time as such default is cured pursuant to the terms of this Lease (in which case, Tenant shall be responsible for any delay in the substantial completion of the Premises caused by such inaction by Landlord).

 

6.5                                 No Constructive Eviction.  Tenant hereby acknowledges that, notwithstanding Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises during the construction of the Tenant Improvements by Landlord, Landlord shall be permitted to construct the Tenant Improvements in the Premises during normal business hours, in accordance with a schedule agreed to by Landlord and Tenant. Such schedule may involve construction outside business hours as requested by Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges that such scheduling may involve overtime or other cost premiums which may increase the cost of the construction of the Tenant Improvements.  Since Tenant is currently occupying the Premises, Landlord agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the Tenant Improvements in a manner so as to minimize interference with Tenant use of the Premises.  Tenant shall cooperate in good faith with Landlord and Landlord’s construction schedule so that the Tenant Improvements will be completed in a timely manner, and Tenant shall provide a clear working area for such work, if necessary (including, but not limited to, the moving of furniture, fixtures and Tenant’s property away from the area in which

 

10



 

Landlord is constructing the Tenant Improvements).  Tenant hereby agrees that the construction of the Tenant Improvements shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor (except as provided in Section 5 of this Tenant Work Letter) 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 Tenant Improvements, nor (except to the extent arising due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any of its employees or agents, or the breach by Landlord of its obligations herein) shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant’s personal property or improvements resulting from the Tenant Improvements or Landlord’s actions in connection with the Tenant Improvements, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by the Tenant Improvements or Landlord’s actions in connection with the Tenant Improvements.

B.                                     Tenant desires to expand the Existing Premises to include that certain space consisting of approximately 48,709 rentable square feet of space (the “Expansion Premises”), and comprising the entire building located at 10445 Pacific Center Court, San Diego, California  92121 (the “10445 Building”) as delineated on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof.  The Expansion Premises is referred to in the Lease as the “10445 Premises,” and the 10421 Building and the 10445 Building are part of the project commonly known as “Pacific Corporate Center.”  In connection therewith, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease as hereinafter provided.

 

A G R E E M E N T :

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Capitalized Terms.  All capitalized terms when used herein shall have the same meaning as is given such terms in the Lease unless expressly superseded by the terms of this First Amendment.

 

2.                                       Premises.

 

2.1.                              Modification of Premises.  Effective as of the date (the “Expansion Commencement Date”) which is the earlier to occur of (i) the ninety-first (91st) day following the date upon which Landlord tenders possession of the entire Expansion Premises to Tenant for construction of the Tenant Improvements therein (which delivery shall in no event occur prior to February 28, 2006), and (ii) March 1, 2007, Tenant shall lease from Landlord and Landlord shall

 



 

lease to Tenant the Expansion Premises.  Consequently, effective upon the Expansion Commencement Date, the Premises (as that term is defined in the Lease) shall be increased to include the Expansion Premises.  Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that such addition of the Expansion Premises to the Existing Premises shall, effective as of the Expansion Commencement Date, increase the size of the Premises to approximately 128,580 rentable square feet.  The Existing Premises and the Expansion Premises may hereinafter collectively be referred to as the “Premises.”

 

2.2.                              Verification of Rentable Square Feet of Expansion Premises.  For purposes of the Lease, the “rentable square feet” of the Expansion Premises shall be calculated pursuant to the Building Owners and Managers Association Standard Method of Measuring Floor Area in Industrial Building, and it accompanying guidelines (“BOMA”).  Within thirty (30) days after the Expansion Commencement Date, Tenant’s space planner/architect shall measure the rentable square feet of the Expansion Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Section, and the results thereof shall be presented to Landlord in writing.  Landlord’s space planner/architect may review Tenant’s space planner/architect’s determination of the number of rentable square feet of the Expansion Premises and Landlord may, within fifteen (15) business days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s space planner/architect’s written determination, object to such determination by written notice to Tenant.  Landlord’s failure to deliver written notice of such objection within said fifteen (15) business day period shall be deemed to constitute Landlord’s acceptance of Tenant’s space planner/architect’s determination.  If Landlord objects to such determination, Landlord’s space planner/architect and Tenant’s space planner/architect shall promptly meet and attempt to agree upon the rentable square footage of the Expansion Premises.  If Landlord’s space planner/architect and Tenant’s space planner/architect cannot agree on the rentable square footage of the Expansion Premises within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s objection thereto, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually select an independent third party space measurement professional to field measure the Expansion Premises pursuant to BOMA.  Such independent third party measurement professional’s determination shall be conclusive and binding on Landlord and Tenant.  Landlord and Tenant shall each pay one-half (½) of the fees and expenses of the independent third party space measurement professional.  To the extent the Lease Term commences prior to such final determination, Tenant’s determination shall be utilized until a final determination is made, whereupon an appropriate adjustment, if necessary, shall be made retroactively, and Landlord, or Tenant, as applicable, shall make appropriate payment to the other.  In the event that it is determined, pursuant to the procedure described in this Section above, that the square footage amounts shall be different from those set forth in this Amendment, all amounts, percentages and figures appearing or referred to in this Amendment based upon such incorrect amount shall be modified in accordance with such determination.  Such final determination shall be confirmed in writing between Landlord and Tenant.

 

2.3.                              Use of the Premises.  Tenant’s use of the Expansion Premises shall be subject to all of the TCCs of the Lease; provided, however, with respect to the Expansion Premises only, and provided any such use is legally permissible, Tenant shall use the Expansion Premises solely for general office use, research and development, warehousing, biotechnology labs, pharmaceutical manufacturing (in accordance with cGMP), and any other uses related thereto, all pursuant to the applicable zoning and the Pacific Corporate Center P.I.D.

 

2



 

2.4.                              Maintenance and Repair of the Premises.  Tenant’s maintenance and repair obligations with respect to the Expansion Premises shall  subject to all of the TCCs of the Lease; provided, however Tenant shall keep the Expansion Premises in first class order, repair, condition and appearance at all times during the Expansion Term in a manner consistent with the “Comparable Buildings,” as that term is defined in Section 3.2.2, below.

 

3.                                       Lease Term.

 

3.1.                              Expansion Term.  The term of Tenant’s lease of the Expansion Premises (the “Expansion Term”) shall commence on the Expansion Commencement Date and expire coterminously with Tenant’s Lease of the Existing Premises on the Lease Expiration Date (i.e.,  June 20, 2025), unless sooner terminated as provided in the Lease, as hereby amended.

 

3.2.                              Expansion Term Option Right.

 

3.2.1.                     Option Right.  Landlord hereby grants the Original Tenant, its Affiliates and any Permitted Assignee, two (2) options to extend the Expansion Term for the entire Expansion Premises each by a period of five (5) years (each, an “Option Term”) as set forth in this Section 3.2.  The TCCs of Section 2.2 of the Lease shall not be applicable to the Expansion Premises.  Such options shall be exercisable only by Notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided below, provided that, as of the date of delivery of such Notice, Tenant is not in default under the Lease (as amended, beyond any applicable notice and cure periods).  Upon the proper exercise of an option to extend, and provided that, as of the end of the then applicable Expansion Term, Tenant is not in default under the Lease (as amended, beyond any applicable notice and cure periods), the Expansion Term, as it applies to the entire Expansion Premises, shall be extended for a period of five (5) years.

 

3.2.2.                     Option Rent.  The Rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term (the “Option Rent”) shall be equal to the Market Rent as set forth below.  For purposes of this Section 3.2, the term “Market Rent” shall mean rent (including additional rent and considering any “base year” or “expense stop” applicable thereto), including all escalations, at which tenants, as of the commencement of the applicable term are, pursuant to transactions completed within the twenty-four (24) months prior to the date Tenant delivers to Landlord the “Exercise Notice,” as that term is set forth below, leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered, non-synthetic, non-equity space (unless such space was leased pursuant to a definition of “fair market” comparable to the definition of Market Rent) comparable in size, location and quality to the Expansion Premises for a “Comparable Term,” as that term is defined in this Section 3.2.2 (the “Comparable Deals”), which comparable space is located in the “Comparable Buildings,” as that term is defined in this Section 3.2.2, giving appropriate consideration to the annual rental rates per rentable square foot (adjusting the base rent component of such rate to reflect a net value after accounting for whether or not utility expenses are directly paid by the tenant such as Tenant’s direct utility payments provided for in Section 6.1 of the Lease), the standard of measurement by which the rentable square footage is measured, parking ratios, general access to such Comparable Buildings, the general visibility of such Comparable Buildings, and taking into consideration only, and granting only, the following concessions (provided that the rent payable in Comparable Deals in which the terms of such Comparable Deals are determined by use of a discounted fair market rate formula shall be equitably increased in order that such Comparable

 

3



 

Deals will not reflect a discounted rate) (collectively, the “Rent Concessions”):  (a) rental abatement concessions or build-out periods, if any, being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable spaces; (b) tenant improvements or allowances provided or to be provided for such comparable space, taking into account the value of the existing improvements in the Expansion Premises, such value to be based upon the age, quality and layout of the improvements and the extent to which the same can be utilized by this particular Tenant, (c) Proposition 13 protection, and (d) all other monetary concessions, if any, being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable space; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no consideration shall be given to the fact that Landlord is or is not required to pay a real estate brokerage commission in connection with the applicable term or the fact that the Comparable Deals do or do not involve the payment of real estate brokerage commissions.  The term “Comparable Term” shall refer to the length of the lease term, without consideration of options to extend such term, for the space in question.  In addition, the determination of the Market Rent shall include a determination as to whether, and if so to what extent, Tenant must provide Landlord with financial security, such as a letter of credit or guaranty, for Tenant’s rent obligations during any Option Term.  Such determination shall be made by reviewing the extent of financial security then generally being imposed in Comparable Transactions upon tenants of comparable financial condition and credit history to the then existing financial condition and credit history of Tenant (with appropriate adjustments to account for differences in the then-existing financial condition of Tenant and such other tenants).  If in determining the Market Rent, Tenant would, pursuant to the Comparable Deals and the Rent Concessions set forth therein, otherwise be entitled to a tenant improvement or comparable allowance for the improvement of the Expansion Premises (the “Option Term TI Allowance”), Tenant shall not be entitled, and shall not be compelled, to receive such Option Term TI Allowance and Landlord shall reduce the rental rate component of the Market Rent to be an effective rental rate which takes into consideration that Tenant will not receive any Option Term TI Allowance.  The term “Comparable Buildings” shall mean the Building and other office and research/development buildings which are comparable to the Building in terms of age (based upon the date of completion of construction or major renovation as to the building containing the portion of the Expansion Premises in question), quality of construction, level of services and amenities, size and appearance, and are located in the Sorrento Mesa area of San Diego, California (the “Comparable Area”).

 

3.2.3.                     Exercise of Option.  The option contained in this Section 3.2 shall be exercised by Tenant, if at all, only in the manner set forth in this Section 3.2.3.  Tenant shall deliver notice (the “Exercise Notice”) to Landlord not more than fifteen (15) months nor less than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then Expansion Term, stating that Tenant is exercising its option.  Concurrently with such Exercise Notice, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord Tenant’s calculation of the Market Rent (the “Tenant’s Option Rent Calculation”).  Landlord shall deliver notice (the “Landlord Response Notice”) to Tenant on or before the later to occur of (i) the date which is thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Exercise Notice and Tenant’s Option Rent Calculation, and (ii) the date which is nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then Expansion Term (the “Landlord Response Date”), stating that (A) Landlord is accepting Tenant’s Option Rent Calculation as the Market Rent, or (B) rejecting Tenant’s Option Rent Calculation and setting forth Landlord’s calculation of the Market Rent (the “Landlord’s Option Rent Calculation”).  Within ten (10) business days of its receipt of the Landlord Response Notice, Tenant may, at its option, accept the Market Rent contained in the

 

4



 

Landlord’s Option Rent Calculation.  If Tenant does not affirmatively accept or Tenant rejects the Market Rent specified in the Landlord’s Option Rent Calculation, the parties shall follow the procedure, and the Market Rent shall be determined as set forth in Section 3.2.5.

 

3.2.4.                     No Defaults; Required Financial Condition of Tenant.  The rights contained in this Section 3.2 shall be personal to the Original Tenant, its Affiliates and any Permitted Assignee and may only be exercised by such Original Tenant, Affiliate or Permitted Assignee (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant’s interest in the Lease, as amended) if the Original Tenant, Affiliate and/or Permitted Assignee occupies not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the then existing Expansion Premises.  The right to extend the Expansion Term as provided in this Section 3.2 may not be exercised if, as of the date of the attempted exercise of the extension option by Tenant, or as of the commencement date of such Option Term, (A) Tenant is in economic or material default pursuant to the terms of the Lease (as amended, beyond any applicable notice and cure periods), (B) Tenant has previously been in economic or material default under the Lease (as amended, beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) during the previous twenty-four (24) month period, or (C) Tenant fails to satisfy the “Threshold Requirements,” as that term is set forth in Section 21.2.2 of the Lease.

 

3.2.5.                     Determination of Market Rent.  In the event Tenant objects or is deemed to have objected to the Market Rent, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the Market Rent using reasonable good-faith efforts.  If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within sixty (60) days following Tenant’s objection or deemed objection to the Landlord’s Option Rent Calculation (the (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then (i) in connection with the Option Rent, Landlord’s Option Rent Calculation and Tenant’s Option Rent Calculation, each as previously delivered to the other party, shall be submitted to the arbitrators pursuant to the TCCs of this Section 3.2.4, and (ii) in connection with any other contested calculation of market Rent, the parties shall each make a separate determination of the Market Rent and shall submit the same to the arbitrators pursuant to the TCCs of this Section 3.2.5.  The submittals shall be made concurrently with the selection of the arbitrators pursuant to this Section 3.2.5 and shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 3.2.5.1 through 3.2.5.5 of this First Amendment, but subject to the conditions, when appropriate, of Section 3.2.3.

 

3.2.5.1.            Landlord and Tenant shall mutually and reasonably select and appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker, appraiser or attorney (the “Neutral Arbitrator”) who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing (or appraisal, as the case may be) of first-class office/lab/manufacturing properties in the Comparable Area.  The determination of the Neutral Arbitrator shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Market Rent, is the closest to the actual Market Rent as determined by the Neutral Arbitrator, taking into account the requirements of Section 3.2.2 of this First Amendment.  Such Neutral Arbitrator shall be appointed within thirty (30) days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date.  Neither the Landlord nor Tenant may, directly or indirectly, consult with the Neutral Arbitrator prior to subsequent to his or her appearance.  The Neutral Arbitrator shall be retained via an engagement letter jointly prepared by Landlord’s counsel and Tenant’s counsel.

 

5



 

3.2.5.2.            Within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the Neutral Arbitrator, such Neutral Arbitrator shall reach a decision as to Market Rent and determine whether the Landlord’s or Tenant’s determination of Market Rent as submitted pursuant to Section 3.2.5.1 and Section 3.2.3 of this First Amendment is closest to Market Rent as determined by such Neutral Arbitrator and simultaneously publish a ruling (“Award”) indicating whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Market Rent is closest to the Market Rent as determined by the Neutral Arbitrator.  Following notification of the Award, the Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Market Rent determination, whichever is selected by the Neutral Arbitrator as being closest to Market rent shall become the then applicable Market Rent.

 

3.2.5.3.            The Award issued by the Neutral Arbitrator shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

 

3.2.5.4.            If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon and appoint the Neutral Arbitrator, then either party may petition Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) to designate an independent third party to appoint the Neutral Arbitrator, subject to criteria in Section 3.2.5.1 of this First Amendment.

 

3.2.5.5.            The cost of arbitration shall be paid by the party (either Landlord or Tenant) whose Market Rent is not selected by the Neutral Arbitrator.

 

3.3.                              Expansion Premises Termination Right.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease (as hereby amended), Tenant shall have one-time option to terminate and cancel the Lease with respect to the Expansion Premises only effective as of June 1, 2017 (the “Termination Date”) upon Tenant’s delivery of written notice to Landlord (the “Termination Notice”), which notice shall be delivered to Landlord on or before December 31, 2016.  Subject to Landlord’s timely receipt of the Termination Notice, the Lease (as hereby amended) with respect to the Expansion Premises only shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect, and Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of their respective obligations under the Lease (as hereby amended) with respect to the Expansion Premises, as of the Termination Date, except with respect to those obligations set forth in the Lease (as amended) which specifically survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, including, without limitation, the payment by Tenant of all amounts owed by Tenant under the Lease (as hereby amended) with respect to the Expansion Premises arising or accruing prior to the Termination Date.  The termination rights granted to Tenant under this Section 3.3 are personal to the Original Tenant, any Affiliate or a Permitted Assignee and may not be assigned or transferred to any other person or entity.

 

4.                                       Base Rent.

 

4.1.                              Existing Premises.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease as hereby amended, Tenant shall continue to pay Base Rent for the Existing Premises in accordance with the terms of Article 3 of the Lease.

 

4.2.                              Expansion Premises.  Commencing on the Expansion Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Expansion Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly installments of Base Rent for the Expansion Premises as follows:

5.                                       Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses.

 

5.1.                              Existing Premises.  Notwithstanding anything in the Lease, as hereby amended, to the contrary, Tenant shall continue to pay Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses in connection with the Existing Premises and attributable to the 10421 Building in accordance with the terms of the Lease.

 

5.2.                              Expansion Premises.  Except as specifically set forth in this Section 5.2, commencing on the Expansion Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses in connection with the Expansion Premises in accordance with the terms of Article 4 of the Lease, provided that with respect to the calculation of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses in connection with the Expansion Premises and attributable to the 10445 Building, Tenant’s Share shall equal 100%.

 

6.                                       Abated Rent.  In the event that Tenant is not then in economic default of the Lease (as hereby amended, and beyond any applicable notice and cure period), then during the twelve month period commencing on the Expansion Commencement Date and ending on the day immediately prior to the first anniversary of the Expansion Commencement Date (the “Rent Abatement Period”), Tenant shall only be obligated to pay one-half (½) of (i) the Base Rent and (ii) Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses, which are otherwise attributable to the Expansion Premises during such Rent Abatement Period (the “Rent Abatement”).  To the extent that Tenant is in such economic default of the Lease (as hereby amended, and beyond any applicable notice and cure period) as of the first day of any calendar month that is part of the Rent Abatement Period, then Tenant shall be obligated to immediately pay the full amount of the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses otherwise (but for the Rent Abatement) attributable to the Expansion Premises during such calendar month (each such month, a “Deferred Abatement Month”); provided, however, that following Tenant’s full payment of any and all such amounts and Tenant’s cure of any such economic default, the Rent Abatement Period shall be extended one (1) month for each Deferred Abatement Month; provided further, however, in no event shall the total dollar amount of such Rent Abatement exceed the dollar amount of the Rent Abatement otherwise attributable to the first twelve months immediately following the Expansion Commencement Date.

 

7.                                       Expansion Improvements.  Except as specifically set forth herein, Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services related to the improvement of the Expansion Premises, and Tenant shall accept the Expansion Premises in its presently existing, “as-is” condition.  The improvements in the Expansion Premises shall be constructed pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “First Amendment Work Letter”).  The terms and conditions of the First Amendment Work Letter shall not be applicable to the construction of the Existing Premises.

 

8.                                       Parking.  Effective as of the Expansion Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Expansion Term, Tenant shall be entitled to utilize, without charge, up to one hundred ninety-four (194) unreserved parking passes in connection with Tenant’s lease of the Expansion Premises (the “Expansion Parking Passes”) (i.e., four (4) unreserved parking spaces for every 1,000 rentable square feet of the Expansion Premises).  Except as set forth in this

 

8



 

Section 8, Tenant’s use of the Expansion Parking Passes shall be in accordance with the provisions of Article 28 of the Lease.

 

9.                                       Security Deposit.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that, in accordance with Section 21.1 of the Lease, Tenant has previously delivered the sum of Three Hundred Fifty-Five Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty-Seven and 60/100 Dollars ($355,727.60) (the “Existing Security Deposit”) to Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease with respect to the Existing Premises.  Landlord shall continue to retain the Existing Security Deposit as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, as hereby amended, with respect to the Expansion Premises.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Tenant timely elects to exercise its termination right with respect to the Expansion Premises as set forth in Section 3.3, above, then subject to the terms and conditions of Section 21.1 of the Lease, the amount of the Security Deposit shall be reduced to Two Hundred Eight-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Thirty-Five and No/100 Dollars ($287,535.00) and Landlord shall, within forty-five days following the Termination Date, return an amount equal to Sixty-Eight Thousand One Hundred Ninety-Two and 60/100 Dollars ($68,192.60) to Tenant.

 

10.                                 Broker.  Landlord and Tenant hereby warrant to each other that they have had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this First Amendment other than Colliers International (the “Broker”), and that they know of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this First Amendment.  Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other party harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, and costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of the indemnifying party’s dealings with any real estate broker or agent, other than the Broker, occurring by, through, or under the indemnifying party.  The terms of this Section 10 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this First Amendment.

 

11.                                 Effectiveness of This First Amendment.  Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that the Expansion Premises is currently occupied by a third-party (the “Existing Tenant”) pursuant to an existing lease between Landlord and the Existing Tenant (the “Existing Lease”).  Notwithstanding the full execution and delivery of this First Amendment between Landlord and Tenant, this First Amendment is expressly conditioned upon the termination of the Existing Lease, which shall occur following the full execution and unconditional delivery (i.e., no conditions to the effectiveness of such termination agreement) of a lease termination agreement with respect to the Existing Lease (the “Existing Lease Termination Agreement”), in a manner acceptable to Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion.  Following the full execution and delivery of this First Amendment between Landlord and Tenant, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such Existing Lease Termination Agreement.  Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever to Tenant relating to or arising from Landlord’s inability or failure to deliver, or Landlord’s delay in delivering, the Expansion Premises to Tenant.

 

9



 

12.                                 No Further Modification.  Except as set forth in this First Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease shall apply with respect to the Expansion Premises and shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this First Amendment has been executed as of the day and year first above written.

SECTION 3

CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS

 

3.1                                 Selection of Architect/Construction Drawings.  Tenant shall retain an architect/space planner selected by Tenant, subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval (the “Architect”) to prepare the “Construction Drawings,” as that term is defined in this Section 3.1.  Tenant shall retain the engineering consultants selected by Tenant, subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval (the “Engineers”) to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, life safety, and sprinkler work in the Premises, which work is not part of the Base Building.  Landlord shall approve or disapprove of Tenant’s proposed Architect or Engineers, as the case may be, within five (5) business days following Tenant’s submission of the name(s) of Tenant’s proposed Architects or Engineers, respectively, together with all documentation and other information reasonably required by Landlord.  The plans and drawings to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers hereunder shall be known collectively as the “Construction Drawings.”  All Construction Drawings shall comply with the drawing format and specifications determined by Landlord, and shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Tenant and Architect shall verify, in the field, the dimensions and conditions as shown on the relevant portions of the base building plans, and Tenant and Architect shall be solely responsible for the same, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith.  Landlord’s review of the Construction Drawings as set forth in this Section 3, shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord’s review of the same, or obligate Landlord to review the same, for

 

3



 

quality, design, Code compliance or other like matters.  Accordingly, notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord’s space planner, architect, engineers, and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the Construction Drawings, and Tenant’s waiver and indemnity set forth in this Lease shall specifically apply to the Construction Drawings.

 

3.2                                 Final Space Plan.  Tenant shall supply Landlord with four (4) copies signed by Tenant of its final space plan for the Premises before any architectural working drawings or engineering drawings have been commenced.  The final space plan (the “Final Space Plan”) shall include a layout and designation of all offices, rooms and other partitioning, their intended use, and equipment to be contained therein.  Landlord may request clarification or more specific drawings for special use items not included in the Final Space Plan.  Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Final Space Plan, (i) approve the Final Space Plan, (ii) approve the Final Space Plan subject to specified conditions to be complied with when the Final Working Drawings are submitted by Tenant to Landlord, or (iii) disapprove the Final Space Plan and return the same to Tenant with detailed requested revisions.  If Landlord disapproves the Final Space Plan, Tenant shall resubmit the Final Space Plan to Landlord, and Landlord shall approve or disapprove of the resubmitted Final Space Plan, based upon the criteria set forth in this Section 3.2 (except that Landlord’s disapproval of the Final Space Plan, as resubmitted, shall be final), within five (5) business days after Landlord receives such resubmitted Final Space Plan.  If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall promptly cause the Final Space Plan to be revised to correct any deficiencies or other matters Landlord may reasonably require.

 

3.3                                 Final Working Drawings.  After the Final Space Plan has been approved by Landlord, Tenant shall supply the Engineers with a complete listing of standard and non-standard equipment and specifications, including, without limitation, B.T.U. calculations, electrical requirements and special electrical receptacle requirements for the Premises, to enable the Engineers and the Architect to complete the “Final Working Drawings” (as that term is defined below) in the manner as set forth below.  Upon the approval of the Final Space Plan by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall promptly cause the Architect and the Engineers to complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Premises, and Architect shall compile architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing working drawings in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits (which may be done by subspecialty if such subspecialty will be separately permitted by the City) (collectively, the “Final Working Drawings”) and shall submit the same to Landlord for Landlord’s approval.  Tenant shall supply Landlord with four (4) copies signed by Tenant of such Final Working Drawings.  Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Final Working

 

4



 

Drawings, (i) approve the Final Working Drawings, (ii) approve the Final Working Drawings subject to specified conditions to be satisfied by Tenant prior to submitting the Approved Working Drawings for permits as set forth in Section 3.4, below, or (iii) disapprove the Final Working Drawings and return the same to Tenant with detailed requested revisions.  If Landlord disapproves the Final Working Drawings, Tenant shall resubmit the Final Working Drawings to Landlord, and Landlord shall approve or disapprove of the resubmitted Final Working Drawings (except that Landlord’s disapproval of the Final Working Drawings, as resubmitted, shall be final), within five (5) business days after Landlord receives such resubmitted Final Working Drawings.  If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall immediately revise the Final Working Drawings in accordance with such review and any disapproval of Landlord in connection therewith.  In addition, if the Final Working Drawings or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto shall require alterations in the Base Building (as contrasted with the Tenant Improvements), and if Landlord in its sole and exclusive discretion agrees to any such alterations, and notifies Tenant of the need and cost for such alterations, then Tenant shall pay, at its sole cost and expense, the cost of such required changes upon receipt of bills therefor.

 

3.4                                 Approved Working Drawings.  Notwithstanding anything in this Tenant Work Letter to the contrary, Tenant shall not commence (or allow the commencement of) the construction of the Tenant Improvements until the Final Working Drawings are approved in writing by Landlord (the “Approved Working Drawings”).  After approval by Landlord of the Final Working Drawings, Tenant may submit the same to the appropriate municipal authorities for all applicable building permits.  Tenant hereby agrees that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s consultants shall be responsible for obtaining any building permit or certificate of occupancy for the Premises and that obtaining the same shall be Tenant’s responsibility; provided, however, that Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in executing permit applications and performing other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to obtain any such permit or certificate of occupancy.  Subject to the terms of Section 4.2.1, below, no changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Working Drawings may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.

 

SECTION 4

CONSTRUCTION OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

 

4.1                                 The Contractor.  Tenant shall select, subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval, three (3) licensed general contractors (the “Bidding Contractors”) to bid on the construction of the Tenant Improvements.  Following such selection, Tenant shall solicit bids from the Bidding Contractors and, following such bidding process, shall select which Bidding Contractor shall be the contractor to construct the Tenant Improvements (the “Contractor”).  Landlord shall independently retain the Contractor to construct the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings.  All subcontractors, materialmen and suppliers are subject to Tenant’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

4.2                                 Construction of Tenant Improvements by Contractor under the Supervision of Landlord and Tenant.

 

4.2.1                        Construction Contract; Over-Allowance Amount.  Landlord and Tenant shall jointly negotiate and prepare the form of the construction contract (the “Contract”) to be executed by and between Landlord and the Contractor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Contract shall expressly state that all “change orders” which (x) involve the expenditure of more than $25,000.00 in the aggregate; (y) adversely affect the systems and equipment of the Building or the Building Structure, or (z) adversely affect the exterior appearance of the Building, must be approved in advance by Landlord and Tenant in writing.  Prior to the commencement of the

 

5



 

construction of the Tenant Improvements, and after Tenant has accepted all bids for the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall submit to Tenant, for Tenant’s review and approval, a detailed breakdown, by trade, of the final costs to be incurred or which have been incurred, as set forth more particularly in Sections 2.2.1.1 through 2.2.1.7, above, in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements, which costs form a basis for the amount of the Contract (the “Final Costs”).  Prior to the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant and Landlord shall identify the amount (the “Over-Allowance Amount”) equal to the difference between the amount of the Final Costs and the Improvement Allowance (less any portion thereof already disbursed by Landlord, or in the process of being disbursed by Landlord, on or before the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements).  To the extent there exists an Over-Allowance Amount, then following Landlord’s disbursement of ninety percent (90%) of the Improvement Allowance to the Contractor (i.e., all of such Improvement Allowance minus a ten percent (10%) retention (the “Final Retention”) which Final Retention shall only be disbursed by Landlord to the Contractor following the completion of the Tenant Improvements and in accordance with the terms of the Contract), Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost, pay to Contractor an amount equal to the total amount then due and owing to the Contractor (other than any corresponding Final Retention which shall be paid concurrently with Landlord’s payment of its portion of the Final Retention to the Contractor), and such payment by Tenant shall be a condition to Landlord’s obligation to pay the Final Retention.  In no event shall any delays resulting from any failure by Tenant to pay any such amount be deemed to be a Landlord Caused Delay (as that term is defined in Section 5.1, below).  In the event that, after the Final Costs have been determined, any revisions, changes, or substitutions shall be made to the Construction Drawings or the Tenant Improvements, any additional costs which arise in connection with such revisions, changes or substitutions or any other additional costs shall be deemed to be an addition to the Over-Allowance Amount.

 

4.2.2                        Supervision of Contractor.  Landlord and Tenant shall jointly supervise the construction of the Tenant Improvements by Contractor.  Landlord and Tenant shall mutually cooperate with each other in all phases of such supervision in order to for the Tenant Improvements to be completed in a timely manner in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings.  Notwithstanding such joint supervision, Tenant shall pay a construction supervision and management fee (the “Landlord Supervision Fee”) to Landlord in an amount equal to the product of (A) one percent (1%), and (B) the hard costs incurred with the Improvement Allowance Items identified in Sections 2.2.1.32.2.1.5 (whether paid for via the Improvement Allowance or as an Over-Allowance Amount, which Landlord Supervision Fee shall be for services relating to the coordination of the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

 

4.2.3                        Contractor’s Warranties and Guaranties.  Landlord hereby assigns to Tenant all warranties and guaranties by Contractor relating to the Tenant Improvements, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord relating to, or arising out of the construction of, the Tenant Improvements and which claims are covered by such warranties.

 

4.2.4                        Indemnity.  Tenant’s indemnity of Landlord as set forth in this Lease shall also apply with respect to any and all costs, losses, damages, injuries and liabilities incurred by Landlord Parties and related in any way to any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Architect at the Project; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the extent of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

6



 

4.2.5                        Requirements of Contractor.  The Contractor shall guarantee to Landlord and for the benefit of Tenant that the portion of the Tenant Improvements for which it is responsible shall be free from any defects in workmanship and materials for a period of not less than one (1) year from the date of completion thereof, and that the Contractor shall be responsible for the replacement or repair, without additional charge, of all work done or furnished in accordance with its contract that shall become defective within one (1) year after the later to occur of (i) completion of the work performed by such contractor or subcontractors and (ii) the Lease Commencement Date.  The correction of such work shall include, without additional charge, all additional expenses and damages incurred in connection with such removal or replacement of all or any part of the Tenant Improvements, and/or the Building and/or common areas that may be damaged or disturbed thereby.  All such warranties or guarantees as to materials or workmanship of or with respect to the Tenant Improvements shall be contained in the Contract or subcontract and shall be written such that such guarantees or warranties shall inure to the benefit of both Landlord and Tenant, as their respective interests may appear, and may be directly enforced by either.  Landlord covenants to give to Tenant any assignment or other assurances which may be necessary to effect such right of direct enforcement.

 

4.2.6                        Insurance Requirements.

 

4.2.6.1               General Coverages.  Contractor and all subcontractors shall carry worker’s compensation insurance covering all of their respective employees, and shall also carry public liability insurance, including property damage, all with limits, in form and with companies as are required to be carried by Tenant as set forth in this Lease.

 

4.2.6.2               Special Coverages.  “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and such other insurance as Landlord may require, it being understood and agreed that the Tenant Improvements shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to this Lease immediately upon completion thereof.  Such insurance shall be in amounts and shall include such extended coverage endorsements as may be reasonably required by Landlord including, but not limited to, the requirement that all Contractor and all subcontractors shall carry excess liability and Products and Completed Operation Coverage insurance, each in amounts not less than $500,000 per incident, $1,000,000 in aggregate, and in form and with companies as are required to be carried by Tenant as set forth in this Lease.

 

4.2.6.3               General Terms.  Certificates for all insurance carried pursuant to this Section 4.2.6.3 shall be delivered to Landlord and Tenant before the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements and before the Contractor’s equipment is moved onto the site.  All such policies of insurance must contain a provision that the company writing said policy will give Landlord and Tenant thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation or lapse of the effective date or any reduction in the amounts of such insurance.  In the event that the Tenant Improvements are damaged by any cause during the course of the construction thereof, Landlord shall immediately repair the same.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Contractor and all subcontractors maintain all of the foregoing insurance coverage in force until the Tenant Improvements are fully completed and accepted by Tenant, except for any Products and Completed Operation Coverage insurance, which is to be maintained for ten (10) years following completion of the work and acceptance by Landlord and

 

7



 

Tenant.  All policies carried under this Section 4.2.6.3 shall insure Landlord and Tenant, as their interests may appear, as well as Contractor and Tenant’s Agents.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all insurance, except Workers’ Compensation, maintained by Contractor and all subcontractors shall preclude subrogation claims by the insurer against anyone insured thereunder.  Such insurance shall provide that it is primary insurance as respects the owner and that any other insurance maintained by owner is excess and noncontributing with the insurance required hereunder.  The requirements for the foregoing insurance shall not derogate from the provisions for indemnification of Landlord by Tenant under Section 4.2.4 of this Tenant Work Letter.

 

4.2.7                        Governmental Compliance.  The Tenant Improvements shall comply in all respects with the following:  (i) the Code and other state, federal, city or quasi-governmental laws, codes, ordinances and regulations, as each may apply according to the rulings of the controlling public official, agent or other person; (ii) applicable standards of the American Insurance Association (formerly, the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and the National Electrical Code; and (iii) building material manufacturer’s specifications.

 

4.2.8                        Inspection.  Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to inspect the Tenant Improvements at all times, provided however, that Landlord’s or Tenant’s failure to inspect the Tenant Improvements shall in no event constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s or Tenant’s, respectively, rights hereunder nor shall any such inspection of the Tenant Improvements constitute either party’s approval of the same.  Should either party disapprove any portion of the Tenant Improvements based on the failure of the Tenant Improvements to conform to the Final Working Drawings, the disapproving party shall notify the other in writing of such disapproval and shall specify the items disapproved.  Any defects or deviations in, and/or such disapproval of, the Tenant Improvements shall be rectified by Landlord.

 

4.2.9                        Meetings.  Commencing upon Tenant’s selection of the Contractor and Architect, Landlord and Tenant shall hold regular meetings at a reasonable time (but in no event to be required more often than weekly), with the Architect and the Contractor (or their agents) regarding the progress of the preparation of Construction Drawings and the construction of the Tenant Improvements, which meetings shall be held at a location reasonably designated by Tenant or, in Landlord’s discretion, at the Premises.  In addition, minutes shall be taken at all such meetings, a copy of which minutes shall be promptly delivered to Landlord.  One such meeting each month shall include the review of Contractor’s current request for payment.

 

4.3                                 Notice of Completion; Copy of Record Set of Plans.  Within ten (10) days after completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the county in which the Building is located in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, and shall furnish a copy thereof to Tenant upon such recordation.  If Landlord fails to do so, Tenant may execute and file the same on behalf of Landlord as Landlord’s agent for such purpose, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense.  At the conclusion of construction, (i) Landlord and Tenant shall cause the Architect and Contractor (A) to update the Approved Working Drawings as necessary to reflect all changes made to the Approved Working Drawings during the course of construction, (B) to certify to the best of their knowledge that the “record-set” of as-built drawings are true and correct, which certification shall survive the expiration or

 

8



 

termination of this Lease, and (C) to deliver to Landlord and Tenant two (2) sets of copies of such record set of drawings within ninety (90) days following issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Premises, and (ii) Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a copy, bound in a binder (with an index), of all warranties, guaranties, and operating manuals and information relating to the improvements, equipment, and systems in the Premises.

 

4.4                                 Cooperation and Joint Efforts.  Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements will require both of Landlord and Tenant to mutually cooperate in good faith, using diligent and commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement or otherwise cooperate in connection with a significant amount of design and construction milestones and action items, only the most significant of which milestones and items are specifically addressed in this Tenant Work Letter.  Landlord and Tenant each hereby commit to so cooperate in good faith, and to use such diligent and commercially reasonable efforts.  Such cooperative efforts shall include the parties’ prompt sharing of information with regard to municipal or local planning group meetings which may affect the construction of the Tenant Improvements so as to provide all relevant parties an opportunity to attend the same.

 

SECTION 5

 

LANDLORD CAUSED DELAY

 

5.1                                 Landlord Caused Delays.  If there shall be a delay or there are delays in the “Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements” (as that term is defined in Section 5.4, below) due to a “Landlord Caused Delay,” then Tenant shall be entitled to the “Substantial Completion Rent Abatement” as more particularly set forth in Section 5.3, below.  As used in this Tenant Work Letter, “Landlord Caused Delay” shall mean actual delays to the extent resulting from the acts or omissions of Landlord including, but not limited to (i) failure of Landlord to timely approve or disapprove any Construction Drawings; (ii) material and unreasonable interference by Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors with the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements and which objectively preclude or delay the construction of tenant improvements in the Building by any person, which interference relates to access by Tenant, or the Contractor to the Building or any Building facilities (including loading docks and freight elevators) or service (including temporary power and parking areas as provided herein) during normal construction hours, or the use thereof during normal construction hours; (iii) delays due to the acts or failures to act of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors including without limitation any such acts or failures to act with respect to payment of the Improvement Allowance.

 

5.2                                 Determination of a Landlord Caused Delay.  If Tenant contends that a Landlord Caused Delay has occurred, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing (the “Delay Notice”) of the event that constitutes such Landlord Caused Delay.  If such action, inaction or circumstance qualifies as a Landlord Caused Delay, then a Landlord Caused Delay shall be deemed to have occurred commencing on the date such action, inaction or circumstance first occurred, and ending on the date such delay ends.  Each day during such period shall be referred to herein as a “Landlord Delay Day;” provided, however, to the extent Tenant is aware (or using commercially reasonable due diligence, should be aware) of an event that otherwise constitutes a Landlord Caused Delay and fails to immediately provide a Delay Notice to

 

9



 

Landlord, then the number of Landlord Delay Days shall be reduced by the number of calendar days occurring during the period commencing on the date when Tenant became aware (or using commercially reasonable due diligence, should have become aware) of such event and the date upon which Tenant actually provides a Delay Notice to Landlord in connection with the same.

 

5.3                                 Substantial Completion Rent Abatement.  In the event a Landlord Delay shall be determined to have occurred as set forth in Section 5.2, above, then commencing on the Expansion Commencement Date, and continuing for each Landlord Delay Day (such period, the “Substantial Commencement Rent Abatement Period”), Tenant shall receive a day-for-day abatement of the Base Rent otherwise attributable to the 10445 Premises (as opposed to the 10421 Premises) (the “Substantial Completion Rent Abatement”) for each Landlord Delay Day.

 

5.4                                 Definition of Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements.  For purposes of this Section 5, “Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements” shall mean completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises pursuant to the Approved Working Drawings as evidenced by a Certificate of Completion from the Architect, with the exception of any punch list items and any tenant fixtures, work-stations, built-in furniture, or equipment to be installed by Tenant or under the supervision of Contractor.

 

SECTION 6

MISCELLANEOUS

 

6.1                                 Tenant’s Representative.  Tenant has designated Richard Murawski and Tamara Seymour as its representatives with respect to the matters set forth in this Tenant Work Letter, each of whom shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of the Tenant as required in this Tenant Work Letter.

 

6.2                                 Landlord’s Representative.  Landlord has designated Jim Edwards as its sole representatives with respect to the matters set forth in this Tenant Work Letter, who, until further notice to Tenant, shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of the Landlord as required in this Tenant Work Letter.

 

6.3                                 Time of the Essence in This Tenant Work Letter.  Unless otherwise indicated, all references herein to a “number of days” shall mean and refer to calendar days.  If any item requiring approval is timely disapproved by Landlord, the procedure for preparation of the document and approval thereof shall be repeated until the document is approved by Landlord.

 

6.4                                 Tenant’s Lease Default.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Lease, if an economic or material default (after applicable notice and cure periods, if any) as described in the Lease or this Tenant Work Letter has occurred at any time on or before the substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements, then (i) in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Landlord pursuant to this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to withhold payment of all or any portion of the Improvement Allowance(in which case, Tenant shall be responsible for any delay in the substantial completion of the Premises caused thereby),

 

10



 

and (ii) all other obligations of Landlord under the terms of this Tenant Work Letter shall be forgiven until such time as such default is cured pursuant to the terms of this Lease (in which case, Tenant shall be responsible for any delay in the substantial completion of the Premises caused by such inaction by Landlord).
