NASA AMES RESEARCH CENTER

ENHANCED USE LEASE

This NASA Ames Research Center Enhanced Use Lease of (the “Lease”) is made as of the date specified in the Basic Lease Information, by and between the NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION, an Agency of the United States (“Landlord”), Ames Research Center located at Moffett Field, California, and the tenant specified in the Basic Lease Information (“Tenant”). This Lease is made under the authority of section 315 of the National Aeronautics and Space Act, as amended (51 U.S.C. §20145), with reference to the following facts:

R E C I T A L S

A. Landlord is committed to using its resources to the greatest public benefit and thus will take advantage of its unique research capabilities, stock of land, buildings and existing partnerships with state and local government, academia, industry and private organizations to create a center in which Landlord, its collaborative partners and the public can jointly work to advance: astrobiology; biotechnology; robotics; lunar exploration; technologies for NASA’s space exploration system (SLS and MPCV); the search for habitable planets; supercomputing; intelligent/adaptive systems; advanced thermal protection; airborne astronomy; science and technology education; the dissemination of information concerning Landlord’s activities; and the commercial use of Landlord’s basic research by the private sector.

B. In furtherance of Landlord’s missions, this Lease furthers the development of a collaborative research environment on the Property (as defined in section 1.1) in which Landlord, industry and academia are co-located to further foster research related to the activities described in Recital A above, as well as other research activities in furtherance of the goals and missions of both Landlord and Tenant. Landlord’s signatory hereby certifies that this Lease will not have a negative impact on NASA’s mission.

C. Landlord and Tenant previously entered into the following leases (collectively, the “Existing Leases”): (a) NASA Ames Research Center Enhanced Use Lease, dated as of May 14, 2004 (SAA2-401733), as amended (collectively, the “Building 543 Lease”); (b) NASA Ames Research Center Enhanced Use Lease of Unimproved Real Property, dated as of June 4, 2008 (SAA2-402120), as amended (collectively, the “Land Lease”); and (c) NASA Ames Research Center Enhanced Use Lease of Historic Property, dated as of August 5, 2009 (SAA2-402379), as amended (collectively, the “Building 19 Lease”). Tenant desires to relocate its personnel from the premises demised under the Building 19 Lease and from the temporary office trailer installed by Tenant on the property demised under the Land Lease to the Building 154 Premises (which is near the Building 543 Premises), thus more conveniently locating Tenant’s personnel and facilities leased at the Property.

D. In addition the parties desire to replace the Existing Leases with this Lease. The Building 543 Lease and the Land Lease will be terminated concurrently with the Commencement Date (as defined in section 2.1). The Building 19 Lease will be terminated on the last day of the TI Period (as defined in section 1.3).

   -1-   


E. Accordingly, Landlord has agreed to lease the Premises (as defined in section 1.1) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease and for the purposes provided herein to facilitate the development and long-term operation of a collaborative research environment on the Property and to provide support to various activities in support of this goal. All collaborative efforts between Landlord and Tenant will be documented in separate agreements. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Premises are not being provided to Tenant as government furnished property under any contract or subcontract, and Tenant agrees that it shall not charge or submit for payment any rent (as defined in section 3.1 (d)) as a direct or indirect cost or charge under any such contract or subcontract.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows.

ARTICLE 1

Premises

1.1 Lease of Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, for the Term (as defined in section 2.1 and subject to the covenants hereinafter set forth, the Building 543 Premises and the Building 154 Premises, all as specified in the Basic Lease Information (collectively, the “Premises”) located at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California 94035-1000 (the “Property”). The Premises are outlined on the plans attached hereto as Exhibits A and A-1. Landlord and Tenant agree that, for purposes of this Lease, the Premises and the Buildings each contains the number of square feet of land area and building area specified in the Basic Lease Information. The parties acknowledge and agree that Tenant installed certain improvements, fixtures and equipment on portions of the Building 543 Premises pursuant to the Building 543 Lease. Landlord agrees that Tenant may continue to maintain and use such improvements, fixtures and equipment pursuant to this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not use, and shall not allow its employees, contractors, licensees, agents or invitees to use, any portion of the Building 543 Premises within a seventy-five (75) foot radius of Tenant’s existing hydrogen tank area as more particularly shown and designated as the “Restricted Area” on attached Exhibit A. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant agrees that no motor vehicle parking, employee recreational areas (such as picnic tables or lunch areas) or other improvements or structures shall be allowed within the Restricted Area. Tenant shall not install or place any improvements, fixtures or personal property within the Restricted Area. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions regarding the Restricted Area, Tenant may install a portion of its test pad improvements within the Restricted Area so long as such improvements do not include any utility connections and Landlord approves the same.

1.2 Termination of Existing Leases. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the Building 543 Lease and the Land Lease shall automatically terminate as of the Commencement Date, and that the Building 19 Lease shall automatically terminate as of the last day of the TI Period. Concurrently with executing this Lease, the parties shall execute agreements evidencing the foregoing terminations in to fulfill Landlord’s real property records and reporting requirements.

   -2-   


1.3 Tenant Improvement Work. Tenant desires to perform certain tenant improvement work in Building 154, which work is generally described on attached Exhibit B (the “TI Work”). Tenant shall: (a) commence the TI Work on the Commencement Date; (b) diligently prosecute the same to completion; (c) comply with all Applicable Laws (as defined in section 4.4); (d) obtain all necessary permits and approvals (including as set forth in section 7.1); and (e) use its reasonable efforts to complete the TI Work as quickly as possible thereafter, which is expected to occur during the TI Period. Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Lease (including the obligation to obtain permits, if applicable), Landlord hereby consents to the Tenant performing the TI Work. During the TI Period, Landlord has agreed to reduce the monthly Base Rent applicable to the Building 154 Premises as set forth herein. If the TI Work is not completed during the TI Period, Tenant may continue to perform the TI Work thereafter; provided, however, Tenant shall pay the full monthly Base Rent with respect to the Building 154 Premises, and the Building 19 Lease and the Land Lease shall nevertheless terminate effective on the last day of the TI Period. As used in this Lease, the phrase “TI Period” means the period of time beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the earlier of: (a) the date on which NASA’s Chief Building Official issues to Tenant a final certificate of occupancy for the Building 154 Premises following completion of the TI Work; or (b) fifteen (15) days following the Commencement Date. In addition to the TI Work, on or before the last day of the TI Period, Tenant shall remove from the Property the portable office trailer that Tenant installed on the parcel of land demised under the Land Lease.

1.4 UA Lease.

(a) Tenant understands that the United States Government (“Government”) has leased the real property on which the Buildings are located, together with all of the improvements thereon, to University Associates-Silicon Valley LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“UA”), pursuant to that certain Enhanced Use Lease dated as of December 12, 2008, as amended (such amended lease, as it may be further amended or modified during the Term, is referred to herein as the “UA Lease”). Tenant’s lease of the Premises is subject and subordinate to all of the terms and conditions of the UA Lease. Tenant acknowledges that the UA Lease is available at Landlord’s “electronic reading room”:

http://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/business/foia/elec.html.

(b) Pursuant to the UA Lease, Landlord retains the beneficial use and occupancy of the premises demised to UA (the “UA Premises”) until such time as UA requires possession of all or any portion of the UA Premises, in which event Landlord is obligated to deliver possession thereof free and clear of all existing tenancies and occupancies. Accordingly, and in addition to Landlord’s other rights to terminate set forth in this Lease, Tenant agrees that this Lease shall terminate with respect to, and Tenant shall vacate and surrender possession of, all or any portion of the Premises, within one hundred twenty (120) days after Landlord delivers to Tenant written notice (a “UA Termination Notice”) if UA requires possession of the portion of the UA Premises on which the applicable portion(s) of the Premises is located prior to the Expiration Date. In addition, if Landlord’s UA Termination Notice applies to less than all of the Premises, Tenant will have the right to terminate this Lease as to all or any other portion of the Premises as Tenant shall designate by delivering to Landlord written notice exercising such termination right within thirty (30) days of the date of such UA Termination Notice, which termination shall be effective as of the date set specified in Tenant’s written notice to Landlord exercising such termination right.

1.5 Common Areas. During the Term, Tenant shall have the nonexclusive right, in common with other tenants and users of the Property, to use only for their intended purposes the common areas (such as driveways, sidewalks, parking areas, loading areas and access roads) in the Property. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to change the size, location, configuration, character or use of any such common areas, construct additional improvements or facilities in any such common areas, or close any such common areas so long as Tenant’s obligations under this Lease are not materially increased nor its rights materially decreased. Tenant shall not interfere with the rights of Landlord and other tenants or users of the Property to use such common areas.

ARTICLE 2

Term

2.1 Term of Lease. The term of this Lease shall be the term specified in the Basic Lease Information (the “Term”), which shall commence on the commencement date specified in the Basic Lease Information (the “Commencement Date”) and, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, shall end on the expiration date specified in the Basic Lease Information (the “Expiration Date”). If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date, this Lease shall not be void or voidable and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, but, in such event, the Commencement Date shall be postponed until the date on which Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant, but the Expiration Date shall not be extended. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has inspected the Premises, the Buildings and the Property or has had the Premises, the Buildings and the Property inspected by professional consultants retained by Tenant, Tenant is familiar with the condition of the Premises, the Buildings and the Property, the Premises, the Buildings and the Property are suitable for Tenant’s purposes, and the condition of the Premises, the Buildings and the Property is acceptable to Tenant. Tenant accepts the Premises in its “AS IS” condition, with all faults, without any covenant, representation or warranty of any kind or nature whatsoever, express or implied (including with respect to the suitability of the Premises or any utility systems serving the Premises for Tenant’s purposes), and Tenant is relying solely on its own investigation of the Premises, the Buildings and the Property. Tenant agrees that Landlord has made no representations or warranties concerning such conditions, state of repair and use, nor any agreement or promise to alter, improve, adapt, repair or keep in repair the same, or any portion thereof. Landlord shall have no obligation to construct or install any improvements in the Premises, the Buildings or the Property or to remodel, renovate, recondition, alter or improve the Premises, the Buildings or the Property in any manner.

2.2 Possession. Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date, and Tenant shall accept such delivery of the Premises. Notwithstanding section 2.1 and Tenant’s acceptance of the Premises, Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises until a certificate of occupancy and all other necessary approvals have been issued by Landlord and all other applicable governmental agencies. If a certificate of occupancy and all other

 

BE 543 154 EUL Final 120511       SAA2 – 402658
   -4-   


necessary approvals have been issued by Landlord and all other applicable governmental agencies, and the Premises are ready for occupancy by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall have the right to take early occupancy of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date and the Term shall commence on such date of early occupancy by Tenant, in which event the Commencement Date shall be advanced to such date of early occupancy, but the Expiration Date shall not be advanced. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of Tenant’s determination to take early occupancy of the Premises at least ten (10) days in advance, which notice shall specify the date of such early occupancy.

2.3 Holding Over. If, with consent by Landlord, Tenant holds possession of the Premises after expiration of the Term, Tenant shall become a tenant from month to month under this Lease, but the Base Rent during such month to month tenancy shall be equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent in effect at the expiration of the Term. Landlord and Tenant each shall have the right to terminate such month to month tenancy by giving at least thirty (30) days’ written notice of termination to the other at any time, in which event such tenancy shall terminate on the termination date set forth in such termination notice.

ARTICLE 3

Rent

3.1 Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the following amounts as rent for the Premises:

(a) During the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as monthly base rent, the amount of monthly Base Rent specified in the Basic Lease Information.

(b) During each Government fiscal year (or part thereof) during the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent and in accordance with this Lease and the terms and conditions of the annual Support Agreement, the current form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C (each, a “Support Agreement”), the costs of Demand Services (as defined in section 3.6(a)) provided to Tenant by Landlord in such year.

(c) The amount of monthly Base Rent shall be increased on January 1, 2013 and on each January 1 thereafter throughout the Term (each, a “CPI Adjustment Date”) by the percentage increase in the CPI (as defined below) during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding each CPI Adjustment Date (each such twelve (12) month period being referred to herein as a “Lease Year”), which increase shall be determined as follows. The base for computing each increase in monthly Base Rent shall be the CPI published most immediately before the first day of the applicable Lease Year (a “Beginning Index”), and the CPI published most immediately before the last day of the applicable Lease Year (an “Adjustment Index”) shall be used in determining the amount of the adjustment. If the Adjustment Index has increased over the Beginning Index since the last CPI Adjustment Date, then the monthly Base Rent for the next Lease Year shall be increased by multiplying the amount of the last payment of monthly Base Rent by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Adjustment Index and the denominator of which is the Beginning Index. As used in this Lease, the term “CPI” means the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, All Items, San Francisco – Oakland – San Jose, California (1982 – 84 equals 100), or if such

 

BE 543 154 EUL Final 120511       SAA2 – 402658
   -5-   


index is no longer published, a successor or substitute index designated by Landlord, published by a governmental agency reflecting changes in consumer prices in the San Francisco Bay Area that is most nearly comparable to the CPI. If the CPI is changed so that the base year differs from that in effect when the Initial Term commences, the CPI shall be converted in accordance with the conversion factor published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If the CPI is discontinued or revised during the Term, such other government index or computation with which it is replaced shall be used in order to obtain substantially the same result as would have been obtained if the CPI had not been discontinued or revised.

(d) Throughout the Term, Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, all other amounts of money and charges required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, whether or not such amounts of money or charges are designated “additional rent.” As used in this Lease, “rent” shall mean and include all Base Rent, all additional rent and all other amounts of money and charges payable by Tenant in accordance with this Lease.

3.2 Procedures.

(a) Immediately following the execution of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall execute the initial Support Agreement. The current amounts of monthly Base Rent and the current costs of Demand Services are set forth on the initial Support Agreement. Tenant understands that costs of Demand Services may increase in the future, and Tenant agrees to pay the costs of Demand Services as determined by Landlord from time to time.

(b) Cost estimates for Demand Services, and reimbursement thereof, shall be consistent with Applicable Laws and Landlord’s policy, including the requirement for payment in advance of the rate at which Landlord anticipates incurring costs. Landlord will review costs for Demand Services periodically to ensure that the rates are based on actual costs to Landlord.

(c) If the Term commences or ends on a day other than the first or last day of the Government’s fiscal year, respectively, the amounts payable by Tenant under section 3.1(b) applicable to the fiscal year in which such term commences or ends shall be prorated according to the ratio which the number of days during the Term in such fiscal year bears to three hundred sixty—five (365). Termination of this Lease shall not affect the obligations of Landlord and Tenant pursuant to section 3.1(b) to be performed after such termination.

3.3 Initial Payment; Security Deposit. Upon signing this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (a) an amount equal to the Base Rent and Demand Services (if any) for the partial month (if any) during which the Commencement Date occurs and the first month of the Term, and (b) the amount of the security deposit specified in the Basic Lease Information (the “Security Deposit”). The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the performance by Tenant of all of the covenants of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest thereon (or on any amount paid to Landlord in advance for Demand Services). If Tenant fails to perform any of the covenants of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, then Landlord shall have the right, but no obligation, to apply the Security Deposit, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to cure any such failure by Tenant. If Landlord applies the Security Deposit or any part thereof to cure any such failure by Tenant, then Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord the sum necessary to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount

 

BE 543 154 EUL Final 120511       SAA2 – 402658
   -6-   


required by this section 3.3. Landlord shall return any remaining portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant within thirty (30) days after termination of this Lease. Upon termination of the original Landlord’s or any successor owner’s interest in the Premises, the original Landlord or such successor owner shall be released from further liability with respect to the Security Deposit upon the original Landlord’s or such successor owner’s transferring the Security Deposit to the new owner.

3.4 Late Payment. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant of any monthly installment of Base Rent or additional rent will cause Landlord to incur costs and expenses, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult and impractical to fix. Such costs and expenses will include administration and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses. Therefore, if any monthly installment of Base Rent or additional rent is not received by Landlord within ten (10) days after such installment is due, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such delinquent installment. Landlord and Tenant agree that such late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair reimbursement to Landlord. In no event shall such late charge be deemed to grant to Tenant a grace period or extension of time within which to pay any rent or prevent Landlord from exercising any right or enforcing any remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant’s failure to pay each installment of rent due under this Lease when due, including the right to terminate this Lease and recover all damages from Tenant. All amounts that become payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease shall bear interest from the date due until paid. The interest rate per annum shall be the interest rate established pursuant to 31 U.S.C. §3717 and 14 C.F.R. §1261.412 (or any successor rate schedule set under Applicable Laws) which are applicable to the period in which the amount becomes due.

The proceeds of such insurance, so long as this Lease remains in effect, shall be used to repair or replace the personal property, furniture, fixtures and equipment, inventory, alterations, trade fixtures, and plate glass so insured. Provided such proceeds are applied as set forth in this section 8.2(e), any insurance proceeds received by Tenant under such policy shall be the sole property of Tenant, and Landlord shall have no rights thereto.

(b) Each policy shall be endorsed to provide that the policy shall not be canceled or materially altered without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and shall remain in effect notwithstanding any such cancellation or alteration until such notice shall have been given to Landlord and such period of thirty (30) days shall have expired.

(c) The commercial general liability and any automobile liability insurance shall be endorsed to name Landlord (and any other parties designated by Landlord) as an additional insured, shall be primary and noncontributing with any insurance which may be carried by Landlord, and shall afford coverage for all claims based on any act, omission, event or condition that occurred or arose (or the onset of which occurred or arose) during the policy period.

(d) Tenant shall deliver certificates of insurance and endorsements, acceptable to Landlord, together with copies of the insurance policies, to Landlord at least ten (10) days before the Commencement Date and at least ten (10) days before expiration of each policy. Such documents shall be delivered to the address for certificate holder set forth below. If Tenant fails to insure or fails to furnish any such insurance certificate, endorsement or policy. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to effect such insurance for the benefit of Tenant or Landlord or both of them, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on written demand, as additional rent, all premiums paid by Landlord. Each certificate of insurance shall list the certificate holder as follows:

P.O. Box 1

Moffett Field, CA 94035-0001

(e) If Landlord at any time believes that the limits or extent of coverage or deductibles with respect to any of the insurance required in this Lease are insufficient, Landlord may determine the proper and reasonable limits and extent of coverage and deductibles for such insurance and such insurance shall thereafter be carried with the limits and extent of coverage and deductibles as so determined until further change pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.

(f) No approval by Landlord of any insurer, or the terms or conditions of any policy, or any coverage or amount of insurance, or any deductible amount shall be construed as a representation by Landlord of the solvency of the insurer or the sufficiency of any policy or any coverage or amount of insurance or deductible. By requiring insurance herein, Landlord makes no representation or warranty that coverage or limits will necessarily be adequate to protect Tenant, and such coverage and limits shall not be deemed as a limitation on Tenant’s liability under the indemnities granted to NASA in this Lease.

(g) Failure of NASA to demand such certificate or other evidence of full compliance with these insurance requirements or failure of NASA to identify a deficiency from evidence that is provided shall not be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s obligation to maintain such insurance.

8.4 Subrogation. Tenant waives on behalf of all insurers under all policies of insurance now or hereafter carried by Tenant insuring or covering the Premises, or any portion or any contents thereof, or any operations therein, all rights of subrogation which any such insurer might otherwise, if at all, have to any claims of Tenant against Landlord except for workers’ compensation. Tenant shall procure from each of the insurers under all such policies of insurance a waiver of all rights of subrogation which the insurer might otherwise, if at all, have to any claims of Tenant against Landlord as required by this section 8.4 stating the following: “The insurer waives any right of subrogation against the United States of America which might arise by reason of any payment made under this policy.”

ARTICLE 9

Assignment or Sublease

9.1 Prohibition. Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Landlord (which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion), assign this Lease or any interest herein or sublease the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises by any person or entity other than Tenant, Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Landlord (which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion), pledge, mortgage or hypothecate this Lease or any interest herein. This Lease shall not, nor shall any interest herein, be assignable as to the interest of Tenant involuntarily or by operation of law without the prior written consent of Landlord (which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion), provided that if Landlord’s consent is unreasonably withheld, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord within ten (10) days after the date Landlord withholds its consent. Landlord’s consent to any proposed assignment or subletting shall not be unreasonably delayed and if not given or withheld within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s request for consent, shall be deemed withheld. Any of the foregoing acts without such prior written consent of Landlord shall be void and shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a default that entitles Landlord to terminate this Lease. Tenant agrees that the instrument by which any assignment or sublease to which Landlord consents is accomplished shall expressly provide that the assignee or subtenant will perform all of the covenants to be performed by Tenant under this Lease (in the case of a sublease, only insofar as such covenants relate to the portion of the Premises subject to such sublease) as and when performance is due after the effective date of the assignment or sublease and that Landlord will have the right to enforce such covenants directly against such assignee or subtenant. Any purported assignment or sublease without an instrument containing the foregoing provisions shall be void. Tenant shall in all cases remain liable for the performance by any assignee or subtenant of all such covenants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, subject to Landlord’s limited consent rights set forth below and without any participation by Landlord in assignment and subletting proceeds, sublet the Premises or assign the Lease to any of the following entities (each, a “Permitted Transferee”): (i) a subsidiary, affiliate, division or corporation controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant; (ii) a successor corporation related to Tenant by merger, consolidation, nonbankruptcy reorganization, or government action; or (iii) a purchaser of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located in the Premises. If Tenant desires to sublet the Premises or assign the Lease to a Permitted Transferee, Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord and describe in reasonable detail the proposed use of the Premises by the Permitted Transferee and discuss whether or not the Permitted Transferee will continue (or expand) the collaborative and programmatic relationships between Landlord and Tenant in support of Landlord’s missions. Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold its consent to a sublease or assignment to a Permitted Transferee; provided, however, Tenant agrees that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold consent if Landlord reasonably determines that the Permitted Transferee will not continue and maintain such collaborative and programmatic relationships. Landlord’s consent to a sublease or assignment to a Permitted Transferee shall be deemed given unless Landlord delivers to Tenant written notice withholding its consent within thirty (30) days after receiving Tenant’s written request. For the purpose of this Lease, sale of Tenant’s capital stock through any public exchange shall not be deemed an assignment, subletting, or any other transfer of the Lease or the Premises.

9.2 Landlord’s Consent or Termination. If Tenant wishes to assign this Lease or sublease all or any part of the Premises, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord identifying the intended assignee or subtenant by name and address and specifying all of the terms of the intended assignment or sublease. Tenant shall give Landlord such additional information concerning the intended assignee or subtenant (including complete financial statements and a business history) or the intended assignment or sublease (Including true copies thereof) as Landlord requests. For a period of thirty (30) days after such written notice is given by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right, by giving written notice to Tenant, (a) to consent in writing to the intended assignment or sublease, unless Landlord determines not to consent, or (b) in the case of an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of substantially the entire Premises for substantially the balance of the Term, to terminate this Lease, which termination shall be effective as of the date on which the intended assignment or sublease would have been effective if Landlord had not exercised such termination right.

9.3 Completion. If Landlord consents in writing, Tenant may complete the intended assignment or sublease subject to the following covenants: (a) the assignment or sublease shall be on the same terms as set forth in the written notice given by Tenant to Landlord, (b) no assignment or sublease shall be valid and no assignee or subtenant shall take possession of the Premises or any part thereof until an executed duplicate original of such assignment or sublease has been delivered to Landlord, (c) no assignee or subtenant shall have a right further to assign or sublease, and (d) all “excess rent” (as defined below) derived from such assignment or sublease shall be paid to Landlord. Such excess rent shall be deemed to be, and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as, additional rent. Tenant shall pay such excess rent to Landlord immediately as and when such excess rent becomes due and payable to Tenant. As used in this section 9.3, “excess rent” shall mean the amount by which the total money and other economic consideration to be paid by the assignee or subtenant as a result of an assignment or sublease, whether denominated rent or in lieu of rent, exceeds, in the aggregate, the total amount of rent which Tenant is obligated to pay to Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect the rent allocable to the portion of the Premises subject to such assignment or sublease), less only the reasonable costs paid by Tenant for reasonable leasing commissions, reasonable attorneys’ fees and additional improvements installed in the portion of the Premises subject to such assignment or sublease by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense for the specific assignee or subtenant in question, without deduction for carrying costs due to vacancy or otherwise. The costs of additional improvements shall be amortized without interest over the term of such assignment or sublease.

9.4 Tenant Not Released. No assignment or sublease whatsoever shall release Tenant from Tenant’s obligations and liabilities under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay all rent and to perform all obligations to be paid and performed by Tenant. No assignment or sublease shall amend or modify this Lease in any respect, and every assignment and sublease shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person or entity shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease. Consent to one assignment or sublease shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or sublease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all direct costs and shall reimburse Landlord for all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any assignment or sublease

requested by Tenant not to exceed two thousand dollars ($2,000) per event of assignment or subletting. If any assignee, subtenant or successor of Tenant defaults in the performance of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under this Lease. Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee, subtenant or successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or subleases or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees, subtenants or successors of Tenant, without notifying Tenant or any successor of Tenant and without obtaining any consent thereto from Tenant or any successor of Tenant, and such action shall not release Tenant from liability under this Lease.

ARTICLE 10

Events of Default and Remedies

10.1 Default by Tenant. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (“Event of Default”) shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant:

(a) Tenant fails to pay any Base Rent, or any additional rent under section 3.1, or other amount of money or charge payable by Tenant and such failure continues for more than ten (10) days after the date such rent becomes due and payable; or

(b) Tenant fails to perform or breaches any other agreement or covenant of this Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant as and when performance or observance is due and such failure or breach continues for more than ten (10) days after Landlord gives written notice thereof to Tenant; provided, however, that if, by the nature of such agreement or covenant, such failure or breach cannot reasonably be cured within such period of ten (10) days, an Event of Default shall not exist as long as Tenant commences with due diligence and dispatch the curing of such failure or breach within such period of ten (10) days and, having so commenced, thereafter prosecutes with diligence and dispatch and completes the curing of such failure or breach; or

(c) Tenant (i) files, or consents by answer or otherwise to the filing against it of, a petition for relief or reorganization or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy or for liquidation or to take advantage of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other debtors’ relief law of any jurisdiction, (ii) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers of Tenant or of any substantial part of Tenant’s property; or

(d) Without consent by Tenant, a court or government authority enters an order, and such order is not vacated within thirty (30) days, (i) appointing a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to Tenant or with respect to any substantial part of Tenant’s property, or (ii) constituting an order for relief or approving a petition for relief or reorganization or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy or for liquidation or to take advantage of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other debtors’ relief law of any jurisdiction, or (iii) ordering the dissolution, winding-up or liquidation of Tenant; or

   -21-   


(f) Tenant abandons the Premises.

10.2 Termination. If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord shall have the right at any time to give a written termination notice to Tenant and, on the date specified in such notice, Tenant’s right to possession shall terminate and this Lease shall terminate. Upon such termination, Landlord shall have the full and immediate right to possession of the Premises and Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant all unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination, all unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after termination, and all other amounts necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.

10.3 Continuation. If an Event of default occurs, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession, and Landlord shall have the right to enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due under this Lease. Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession unless written notice of termination is given by Landlord to Tenant.

10.4 Remedies Cumulative. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right to exercise and enforce all rights and remedies granted or permitted by law. The remedies provided for in this Lease are cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity by statute or otherwise. Exercise by Landlord of any remedy shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the Premises by Tenant, either by agreement or by operation of law. Surrender of the Premises can be effected only by the written agreement of Landlord and Tenant.

10.5 Tenant’s Primary Duty. All agreements and covenants to be performed or observed by Tenant under this Lease shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any abatement of rent. If Tenant fails to pay any sum of money to be paid by Tenant or to perform any other act to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, to make any such payment or to perform any such other act on behalf of Tenant in accordance with this Lease. All sums so paid by Landlord and all costs incurred or paid by Landlord shall be deemed additional rent hereunder and Tenant shall pay the same to Landlord on written demand, together with interest on all such sums and costs from the date of expenditure by Landlord to the date of repayment by Tenant at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.

10.6 Abandoned Property. If Tenant abandons the Premises, or is dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, all alterations, additions, fixtures and improvements made by Tenant and left in the Premises, and all movable furniture, equipment, trade fixtures or personal property belonging to Tenant and left in the Premises, shall be deemed to be abandoned. Landlord may retain the same, or at the option of Landlord, sell or otherwise dispose of the same in any commercially reasonable manner.

10.7 Landlord Default. If Landlord defaults under this Lease, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord specifying such default with particularity, and Landlord shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice within which to cure such default. In the event of any default by Landlord, Tenant’s exclusive remedy shall be an action for damages. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Landlord shall not have any personal liability under this Lease.

10.8 Landlord’s Right to Terminate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Landlord or the Government may terminate this Lease, in whole or in part, and without cost to the Government, if there has been a determination by either (i) the Director of NASA Ames Research Center, (ii) the Assistant Administrator for Infrastructure and Administration, or (iii) the Director of the Facilities Engineering and Real Property Division that the interests of the national space program, the national defense or public welfare require termination of this Lease, and Landlord or the Government delivers to Tenant at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such determination. In the event termination of this Lease under this section 10.8, the Government shall make a pro rata adjustment of any advance rent paid by Tenant.

ARTICLE 11

Damage or Destruction

11.1 Restoration. If a fire or other casualty occurs on the Premises during the Term, Tenant shall promptly undertake to determine the extent of the same and the estimated cost and time to perform repairs, restoration, replacement or alterations of the applicable portions of the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. Tenant shall notify Landlord of Tenant’s estimation of such cost and time as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the fire or other casualty. If the Premises, or any part thereof, is damaged by fire or other casualty during the Term and this Lease is not terminated pursuant to section 11.2, Tenant shall repair such damage and restore the Premises (including, if Tenant desires, as determined at Tenant’s sole discretion, any alterations, additions, fixtures or improvements made by Tenant) to substantially the same condition in which the Premises existed before the occurrence of such fire or other casualty and this Lease shall, subject to this section 11.1, remain in full force and effect. Tenant shall not be required to repair or replace any or all of Tenant’s movable furniture, equipment, trade fixtures and personal property. If such fire or other casualty damages the Premises or common areas of the Property necessary for Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises and if such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees, then, during the period the Premises is rendered unusable by such damage, Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction in Base Rent in the proportion that the area of the Premises rendered unusable by such damage bears to the total area of the Premises. Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage to, or to make any replacement of, the Premises or any part thereof, or any of Tenant’s movable furniture, equipment, trade fixtures or personal property in the Premises. If there are proceeds of insurance in excess of that required to repair or replace the Premises as required by this section 11.1, upon receipt by Landlord of satisfactory evidence that the repair work required under this section 11.1 has been fully completed and paid for and that the last day for filing any mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens has passed without the filing of any, or if filed, any such lien has been released, any remaining amount of such proceeds of insurance shall be paid to Landlord and Tenant, as their respective interests may appear. If a fire or other casualty occurs, there is a substantial possibility that immediate emergency repairs will be required to

 

BE 543 154 EUL Final 120511       SAA2 – 402658
   -23-   


eliminate defective or dangerous conditions and to comply with Applicable Laws or Environmental Law pending settlement of insurance claims and prior to procuring bids for performance of repair work. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article 11 to the contrary, Tenant shall promptly undertake such emergency repair work after a fire or other casualty as is necessary or appropriate under the circumstances to eliminate defective or dangerous conditions and to comply with Applicable Laws or Environmental Law.

11.2 Termination of Lease. If the Premises, or any part thereof, is damaged by fire or other casualty during the Term and (a) such fire or other casualty occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term and the repair and restoration work to be performed by Tenant in accordance with section 11.1 cannot, as reasonably estimated by Tenant, be completed within two (2) months after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty, or (b) the cost of the repair and restoration work to be performed by Tenant in accordance with section 11.1: (i) exceeds either two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) of insured loss or fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) of uninsured loss (including any applicable deductibles), (ii) exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by or payable to Tenant in connection with such fire or other casualty, or (iii) will take longer than one hundred twenty (120) days to repair as reasonably determined by Tenant, then, in any such event, Tenant shall have the right, by giving written notice to Landlord within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty, to terminate this Lease as of the date of such notice, provided that, in the event of such termination, and if requested to do so by Landlord in writing, Tenant shall assign to Landlord the right to receive all proceeds of the insurance maintained by Tenant pursuant to section 8.2(d), excluding any proceeds relating to any alterations or improvements paid for by Tenant and any of Tenant’s equipment, trade fixtures and other personal property. If Tenant does not exercise the right to terminate this Lease in accordance with this section 11.2, Tenant shall repair such damage and restore the Premises in accordance with section 11.1 and this Lease shall, subject to section 11.1, remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE 12

Eminent Domain

12.1 Condemnation. Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease if any part of the Premises or any substantial part of the Property (whether or not it includes the Building or the Premises) is taken by exercise of the power of eminent domain before the Commencement Date or during the Term. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease if a substantial portion of the Premises is taken by exercise of the power of eminent domain before the Commencement Date or during the Term and the remaining portion of the Premises is not reasonably suitable for Tenant’s purposes. In each such case, Landlord or Tenant shall exercise such termination right by giving written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after the date of such taking. If either Landlord or Tenant exercises such right to terminate this Lease in accordance with this section 12.1, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such taking. If neither Landlord nor Tenant exercises such right to terminate this Lease in accordance with this section 12.1, this Lease shall terminate as to the portion of the Premises so taken as of the date of such taking and shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises not so taken, and the Base Rent shall be reduced as of the date of such taking in the proportion that the area of the Premises so taken bears to the total area of the Premises. If all of the Premises are taken by exercise of the power of eminent domain before the Commencement Date or during the Term, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such taking.

12.2 Award. If all or any part of the Premises is taken by exercise of the power of eminent domain, all awards, compensation, damages, income, rent and interest payable in connection with such taking shall, except as expressly set forth in this section 12.2, be paid to and become the property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of the foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the entity exercising the power of eminent domain for the value of the leasehold estate created by this Lease or any unexpired Term. Tenant shall have the right to claim and receive directly from the entity exercising the power of eminent domain only the share of any award determined to be owing to Tenant for the taking of improvements installed in the portion of the Premises so taken by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense based on the unamortized cost actually paid by Tenant for such improvements, for the taking of Tenant’s movable furniture, equipment, trade fixtures and personal property, for loss of goodwill, for interference with or interruption of Tenant’s business, or for removal and relocation expenses.

12.3 Temporary Use. Notwithstanding sections 12.1 and 12.2 to the contrary, if the use of all or any part of the Premises is taken by exercise of the power of eminent domain during the Term on a temporary basis for a period less than the Term remaining after such taking, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, Tenant shall continue to pay all of the rent and to perform all of the covenants of Tenant in accordance with this Lease, to the extent reasonably practicable under the circumstances, and the condemnation proceeds in respect of such temporary taking shall be paid to Tenant.

12.4 Definition of Taking. As used herein, a “taking” means the acquisition of all or part of the Property for a public use by exercise of the power of eminent domain or voluntary conveyance in lieu thereof and the taking shall be considered to occur as of the earlier of the date on which possession of the Property (or part so taken) by the entity exercising the power of eminent domain is authorized as stated in an order for possession or the date on which title to the Property (or part so taken) vests in the entity exercising the power of eminent domain.

ARTICLE 13

Subordination and Sale

13.1 Subordination. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of all mortgages, deeds of trust, easements, rights of way and other matters affecting title to the Property (whether or not of record) which may now exist or hereafter be placed on or against the Property or on or against Landlord’s interest or estate therein, all without the necessity of having further instruments executed by Tenant to effect such subordination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust or of any other action or proceeding for the enforcement thereof, or of any sale thereunder, this Lease shall not be terminated or extinguished, nor shall the rights and possession of Tenant hereunder be disturbed, if no Event of Default then exists under this Lease, and Tenant shall attorn to the person who acquires Landlord’s interest hereunder through any such mortgage or deed of trust. Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver upon demand such further instruments evidencing such subordination of this Lease to the lien of all such mortgages and deeds of trust as may reasonably be required by Landlord.

13.2 Sale of the Property. If the original Landlord hereunder, or any successor owner of the Property, sells or conveys the Property, all liabilities and obligations on the part of the original Landlord, or such successor owner, under this Lease accruing after such sale or conveyance shall terminate and the original Landlord, or such successor owner, shall automatically be released therefrom, and thereupon all such liabilities and obligations shall be binding upon the new owner. Tenant agrees to attorn to such new owner.

13.3 Estoppel Certificate. At any time and from time to time, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written request by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a certificate certifying: (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified, and stating the date and nature of each modification); (b) the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date determined in accordance with Article 2 and the date, if any, to which all rent and other sums payable hereunder have been paid; (c) that no notice has been received by Tenant of any default by Tenant hereunder which has not been cured, except as to defaults specified in such certificate; (d) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease, except as to defaults specified in such certificate; and (e) such other matters as may be reasonably requested by Landlord or any actual or prospective purchaser or mortgage lender. Any such certificate may be relied upon by Landlord and any actual or prospective purchaser or mortgage lender of the Property or any part thereof. At any time and from time to time, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written request by Landlord, deliver to Landlord copies of all current financial statements (including a balance sheet, an income statement, and an accumulated retained earnings statement), annual reports, and other financial and operating information and data of Tenant prepared by Tenant in the course of Tenant’s business. Unless available to the public, Landlord shall disclose such financial statements, annual reports and other information or data only to actual or prospective purchasers or mortgage lenders of the Property or any part thereof, and otherwise keep them confidential unless other disclosure is required by law.

14.2 Close Calls and Mishaps.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO NASA AMES RESEARCH

CENTER ENHANCED USE LEASE

This First Amendment to NASA Ames Research Center Enhanced Use Lease (the “Amendment”) is made as of November 1, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), by and between the NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION, an Agency of the United States, acting by and through Ames Research Center located at Moffett Field, California (“Landlord”), and BLOOM ENERGY CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), with reference to the following facts:

A. Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain NASA Ames Research Center Enhanced Use Lease, dated as of December 5, 2011 (SAA2 - 402658) (the “Lease”). Each capitalized term used in this Amendment, but not defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Lease.

B. Tenant desires to construct a building (containing approximately 3,375 square feet of space) (such building, together with all other work related thereto as shown on the construction drawings for such building, is referred to collectively herein as the “Additional Building”) on the real property included within the Building 543 Premises. Landlord is willing to allow Tenant to construct the Additional Building on the terms and conditions of this Amendment.

C. Landlord has informed Tenant that new agency guidance is being promulgated regarding the disposal of hazardous waste generated by tenants. The parties desire to revise the Lease to conform to such guidance.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1. Construction of the Additional Building.

(a) Pursuant to section 7.1 of the Lease, Landlord hereby consents to Tenant’s construction of the Additional Building subject to the following conditions precedent, which must be satisfied or waived in writing by Landlord before construction of the Additional Building (or any work in connection therewith) can begin: (1) Landlord shall have approved a complete set of construction drawings for the Additional Building as required by section 7.1 of the Lease (including all other information required pursuant to section 7.1 of the Lease); (2) Tenant shall have paid to Landlord all fees and other amounts due to Landlord (if any) under the Lease, including the fee to issue the Permit (as defined below); and (3) Landlord’s Chief Building Official shall have issued to Tenant a construction permit for the Additional Building and to install a temporary construction trailer on the Building 543 Premises as more particularly described in section 1(j) of this Amendment (the “Permit”).

(b) Tenant shall: (i) commence construction of the Additional Building promptly after the date on which the Permit is issued to Tenant (the “Permit Issue Date”); (ii) diligently prosecute the same to completion; (iii) comply with all Applicable Laws; (iv) obtain all necessary permits and approvals other than the Permit; and (v) use its reasonable efforts to

 

BE 543 154 EUL 1st Amend Final 110112       SAA2 – 402658
   1   


complete the Additional Building as quickly as possible thereafter, which is expected to occur during the Construction Period (as defined below). During the Construction Period, Landlord has agreed to reduce the monthly Base Rent applicable to the Additional Building as set forth on the amended Basic Lease Information attached to this Amendment as Exhibit 1. If the Additional Building is not completed during the Construction Period, Tenant may continue to perform such work thereafter; provided, however, Tenant shall pay the full monthly Base Rent with respect to the Premises. As used in this Amendment, the phrase “Construction Period” means the period of time beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the earlier of: (1) the date on which NASA’s Fire Marshal completes a final inspection of the Additional Building and determines that the Additional Building is substantially complete; or (2) ninety (90) days following the Permit Issue Date.

(c) Tenant does not intend to obtain secured financing in connection with the construction, use or occupancy of the Additional Building. Tenant understands and agrees that Landlord will not subordinate fee title to any financing.

(d) At all times while work on the Additional Building is being performed, and in addition to the insurance coverage required under the Lease, Tenant shall maintain comprehensive “all risk” or “special form” builder’s risk insurance, including vandalism and malicious mischief. Such builder’s risk insurance shall cover all portions of the Additional Building, all materials and equipment stored at the Premises or the Property by Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, invitees or licensees (collectively, “Tenant’s Related Entities”), and all materials and equipment that are in the process of fabrication at the premises of any third party or that have been placed in due course of transit to the Premises when such fabrication or transit is at the risk of, or when title to or an insurable interest in such materials or equipment, has passed to Tenant or Tenant’s Related Entities (excluding any tools and equipment, and property owned by the employees of Tenant’s Related Entities). Such builder’s risk insurance shall be written on a completed value basis in an amount not less than the full estimated replacement cost of the Additional Building.

(e) Tenant shall perform all work in accordance with all Applicable Laws, the recommendations of Tenant’s geotechnical, environmental, engineering and other construction consultants, and in a good and workmanlike manner using materials of a quality consistent with the nature of the other improvements on the Premises. Tenant shall not construct any buildings or other structures outside the boundaries of the Premises or on, over or above any utilities of Landlord within or crossing the Premises. Tenant shall not use any portion of the Property other than the Premises in connection with the construction of the Additional Building.

(f) Tenant shall prepare and maintain on the Premises (i) on a current basis during the construction of the Additional Building, annotated construction drawings showing clearly all substantive changes, revisions and substitutions during such period of construction, and (ii) upon the substantial completion of the Additional Building, as - built drawings showing clearly all changes, revisions and substitutions during the period of construction, including minor field changes and the final location of all mechanical equipment, utility lines, ducts, outlets, structural members, walls, partitions and other significant features of the work.

(g) All rights of Landlord to review, comment upon, approve, inspect or take any other action with respect to the Premises, the Additional Building or the design or construction thereof are specifically for the benefit of Landlord and no other party. No review, comment, approval or inspection, required or permitted by, of, or to Landlord hereunder shall give or be deemed to give Landlord any liability, responsibility or obligation for, in connection with, or with respect to, the design, demolition, construction, maintenance, repair, preservation, rehabilitation, reconstruction, restoration or operation of the Premises or the Additional Building, or the removal and/or remediation of any Hazardous Materials on, in or from the Premises, nor shall any such approval or inspection be deemed to relieve Tenant of the sole obligation and responsibility for the design, construction, maintenance, repair, preservation, rehabilitation, reconstruction, restoration, and operation of the Premises (including the Additional Building) and the removal and/or remediation of Hazardous Materials. Similarly, no inspection performed or not performed by Landlord under this Lease shall: (i) give or be deemed to give Landlord any responsibility or liability with respect to the thing inspected, the work or the prosecution thereof, or the design or construction of the work or any part thereof; (ii) constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of Tenant’s obligations or Tenant’s rights hereunder; or (iii) be construed as approval or acceptance of the thing inspected or the prosecution thereof, or the design or construction of the work or any part thereof.

(h) Tenant shall have no power to do any act or to make any contract that may create or be the foundation for any lien, mortgage or other encumbrance upon the reversion, fee interest or other estate of Landlord or of any interest of Landlord in the Premises. Tenant shall notify all of its contractors that Tenant does not own fee title to the Premises (or any other portion of the Property), and such contractors shall be instructed to record any preliminary notice or other document related to any mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens against only Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises and not against fee title to the Property. At least ten (10) days before the date on which construction begins or materials are delivered, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord of such date of commencement of construction or of the delivery of materials, as the case may be. Landlord shall then have the right to post and maintain on the Premises and other portions of the Property any notices that are required to protect Landlord and Landlord’s interest in the Property from any liens for work and labor performed or materials furnished in completing the Additional Building. Nothing in this Amendment or the Lease shall be deemed to be, or be construed in any way as constituting, the consent of or request by Landlord, expressed or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any person, firm or corporation, for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials for any construction, repairs, maintenance, replacement, alterations or redevelopment of or to the Premises or any part thereof, or as giving Tenant any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials that might in any way give rise to the right to file any lien against Landlord’s interest in the Premises.

(i) Tenant shall not suffer or permit any liens to stand against the Property or any part thereof by reason of any work, labor, services or materials done for, or supplied to, or claimed to have been done for or supplied to Tenant. Tenant shall keep the Property free and clear of any and all mechanics’, materialmen’s and other liens for work done, services performed, materials supplied or appliances used or furnished in or about the Premises in connection with any activities of Tenant on or about the Premises. If any such lien shall at any

 

BE 543 154 EUL 1st Amend Final 110112       SAA2 – 402658
   3   


time be filed, Tenant shall cause the same to be discharged of record within thirty (30) days prior to the date any such lien may be foreclosed upon. If Tenant fails to discharge or contest such lien within such period and such failure shall continue for a period of fifteen (15) days after notice by Landlord, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, procure the discharge of the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due, by deposit in court, or by bonding. All amounts paid or deposited by Landlord for any of the aforesaid purposes, and all other expenses of Landlord and all necessary disbursements in connection therewith, in defending any such action or in procuring the discharge of such lien, shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord promptly upon written demand therefor.

(j) Provided that the Permit is issued to Tenant, Landlord hereby gives Tenant permission: (i) to use the Building 543 Premises during the Construction Period as a materials storage and staging area to construct the Additional Building; and (ii) to install on the Building 543 Premises a temporary construction trailer in connection with the construction of the Additional Building. Tenant shall remove the temporary construction trailer from the Property no later than the date which is thirty (30) days after NASA’s Fire Marshal completes a final inspection of the Additional Building and determines that the Additional Building is substantially complete.

(k) Tenant shall construct the Additional Building by engaging contractors that pay the prevailing wages in the area.

(l) Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall demolish and remove from the Property the Additional Building and all other improvements now or hereafter constructed in connection therewith (including, without limitation, the slab, foundation and other improvements on or under the ground surface) (collectively, the “Removal Work”). Tenant agrees that if Tenant fails to complete the Removal Work, and Landlord incurs any costs in connection therewith, Landlord may apply the Security Deposit to cover such costs.

2. Amendments of the Lease. As of the Effective Date, the parties hereby agree to amend the Lease as follows:

(a) The Basic Lease Information attached to the Lease is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the Basic Lease Information attached to this Amendment as Exhibit 1. Among other things, the amended Basic Lease Information sets forth the monthly Base Rent to be paid during construction of the Additional Building and after its completion.

(b) The site plan depicting the Building 543 Premises attached to the Lease as Exhibit A is hereby deleted and replaced with the site depicting the Building 543 Premises (including the proposed location of the Additional Building) attached to this Amendment as Exhibit 2.
