Landlord. Landlord (and/or any other owners of the Project) reserves the right from time to time to use any of the common areas of the Project, and the roof, risers and conduits of the Building and the Other Existing Buildings for telecommunications and/or any other purposes, and to do any of the following: (1) make any changes, additions, improvements, repairs and/or replacements in or to the Project or any portion or elements thereof, including, without limitation, (x) changes in the location, size, shape and number of driveways, entrances, loading and unloading areas, ingress, egress, direction of traffic, landscaped areas, walkways, public and private streets, plazas, courtyards, transportation facilitation areas and common areas, and (y) expanding or decreasing the size of the Project and any common areas and other elements thereof, including adding, deleting and/or excluding buildings (including the Other Existing Buildings) thereon and therefrom; (2) close temporarily any of the common areas while engaged in making repairs, improvements or alterations to the Project; (3) retain and/or form a common area association or associations under covenants, conditions and restrictions to own, manage, operate, maintain, repair and/or replace all or any portion of the landscaping, driveways, walkways, public and private streets, plazas, courtyards, transportation facilitation areas and/or other common areas located outside of the Building and the Other Existing Buildings and, subject to Article 4 below, include the common area assessments, fees and taxes charged by the association(s) and the cost of maintaining, managing, administering and operating the association(s), in Operating Expenses or Taxes; and (4) perform such other acts and make such other changes with respect to the Project as Landlord may, in the exercise of good faith business judgment, deem to be appropriate. Landlord shall perform such closures, alterations, additions or changes as described in this Section 1.1.3 in a commercially reasonable manner and, in connection therewith, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any material interference with Tenant's use of and access to the Premises, Parking Areas or Tenant's Rooftop Equipment (as defined below).
b.
Condition of Premises. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease and in the Tenant Work Letter, Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement, remodeling or refurbishment work or services related to the improvement, remodeling or refurbishment of the Premises, and Tenant shall accept the Premises in its "As Is" condition on the Lease Commencement Date; provided, however, in the event that, during the first twelve (12) months of the initial Lease Term, the Base, Shell and Core of the Building and all Base Building Work (as defined in Section 1 of Exhibit B) without regard to any alterations or other improvements to be constructed or installed by Tenant in the Premises or Tenant's use of the Premises, contains defects or does not comply with the Requirements in effect at the time of Landlord's construction of the same (unless such defect or non-compliance arises out of any Alterations or Tenant's use of the Premises), then Landlord shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense which shall not be included in Operating Expenses (except as otherwise expressly permitted in Section 4.2 hereof), for correcting any such non-compliance or defects as soon as reasonably possible after receiving written notice thereof from Tenant; provided, however, that with respect to latent defects, if Tenant fails to give Landlord written notice of any such defects within twelve (12) months after the Lease Commencement Date, then the correction of any such defects shall, subject to Landlord's repair obligations in Section 7.2 hereof (and to the extent such correction is a responsibility of Tenant pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof), be Tenant's responsibility at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant also acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises, the Building, or the Project or their condition, or with respect to the suitability thereof for the conduct of Tenant's business and any Requirements which apply to the same (including, but not limited to, any zoning/conditional use permit requirements which shall be Tenant's responsibility and Tenant's failure to obtain any such zoning/use permits (if any are required) shall not affect Tenant's obligations under this Lease). Except as otherwise provided above and in the Tenant Work Letter, the taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall conclusively establish that the Premises (including the Tenant Improvements therein), the Building and the Project were at such time complete and in good, sanitary and satisfactory condition and without any obligation on Landlord's part to make any alterations, upgrades or improvements thereto. For purposes of Section 1938(a) of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that the Premises have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp). In addition, the following notice is hereby provided pursuant to Section 1938(e) of the California Civil Code:

"A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall

mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises."

In furtherance of and in connection with such notice: (i) Tenant, having read such notice and understanding Tenant's right to request and obtain a CASp inspection and with advice of counsel, hereby elects not to obtain such CASp inspection and waives its rights to obtain a CASp inspection with respect to the Premises, Building and/or Project to the extent permitted by any Requirements now or hereafter in effect; and (ii) if the waiver set forth in clause (i) hereinabove is not enforceable pursuant to any Requirements, then Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows (which constitute the mutual agreement of the parties as to the matters described in the last sentence of the foregoing notice): (A) Tenant shall have the one-time right to request for and obtain a CASp inspection, which request must be made, if at all, in a written notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord on or before that date which is ten (10) days after the Effective Date; (B) any CASp inspection timely requested by Tenant shall be conducted (1) between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on any business day, (2) only after ten (10) days' prior written notice to Landlord of the date of such CASp inspection, (3) in a professional manner by a CASp designated by Landlord and without any testing that would damage the Premises, Building or Project in any way, and (4) at Tenant's sole cost and expense, including, without limitation, Tenant's payment of the fee for such CASp inspection, the fee for any reports prepared by the CASp in connection with such CASp inspection (collectively, the "CASp Reports") and all other costs and expenses in connection therewith; (C) Tenant shall deliver a copy of any CASp Reports to Landlord within three (3) business days after Tenant's receipt thereof; (D) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for making any improvements, alterations, modifications and/or repairs to or within the Premises to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards including, without limitation, any violations disclosed by such CASp inspection; and (E) if such CASp inspection identifies any improvements, alterations, modifications and/or repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards relating to those items of the Building and Project located outside the Premises that are Landlord's obligation to repair under the Lease (as amended hereby), then Landlord shall perform such improvements, alterations, modifications and/or repairs as and to the extent required by any Requirements to correct such violations, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such improvements, alterations, modifications and/or repairs within ten (10) business days after Tenant's receipt of an invoice therefor from Landlord.

The work which is depicted and described in the Base Building Work Matrix is referred to in this Lease as the "Base Building Work".

e.
Right of First Offer. Commencing as of the Lease Commencement Date and continuing during the entire Lease Term (including the Option Term), Tenant shall have a one‑time (subject to the terms hereof) right of first offer to lease available space on the first (1st) floor of the Building ("First Offer Space"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) such first offer right of Tenant shall become effective only following the expiration or earlier termination of any existing lease pertaining to the First Offer Space (collectively, the "ROFO Superior Leases"), including any renewal or extension of such existing lease, whether or not such renewal or extension is pursuant to an express written provision in such lease, and regardless of whether any such renewal or extension is consummated pursuant to a lease amendment or a new lease, and (ii) Tenant's first offer right shall be subordinate and secondary to all currently existing rights of expansion, first refusal, first offer or similar rights previously granted to (x) the tenants of any existing leases and (y) any other tenant of the Project as of the date hereof (the rights described in items (i) and (ii), above to be known collectively as "ROFO Superior Rights"). Tenant's right of first offer shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.5. Landlord represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, there exist no ROFO Superior Rights.
i.
Procedure for Offer. Landlord shall notify Tenant (the "First Offer Notice") from time to time when Landlord determines, in Landlord's sole and absolute (but good faith) discretion, that Landlord shall commence

the marketing of the First Offer Space (or any portion thereof) because such space shall become or is expected to become available for lease to third parties, subject, however, to the Superior Leases. The First Offer Notice shall describe the space so offered to Tenant and shall set forth the Base Rent and all of Landlord's proposed economic terms and conditions applicable to Tenant's lease of such space (collectively, the "First Offer Economic Terms"); such First Offer Economic Terms shall be based on Landlord's good faith determination of the fair market rate for such First Offer Space. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's obligation to deliver the First Offer Notice shall not apply during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term unless Tenant has delivered an Exercise Notice (as defined in the Extension Rider attached hereto) pertaining to the extension of the initial Lease Term pursuant to the Extension Rider.
ii.
Procedure for Acceptance. If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant's right of first offer with respect to the space described in the First Offer Notice, then within five (5) business days after delivery of the First Offer Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver notice ("ROFO Exercise Notice") to Landlord of Tenant's exercise of its right of first offer with respect to the entire space described in the First Offer Notice. If Tenant does not exercise its right of first offer within the five (5) business day period (on all of the First Offer Economic Terms), then Landlord shall be free to lease the space described in the First Offer Notice to anyone to whom Landlord desires and Tenant's right of first offer with respect to such First Offer Space shall, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary (but subject to Section 1.5.4 below), automatically terminate and this Section 1.5 shall be deemed null and void and of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant must elect to exercise its right of first offer, if at all, with respect to all of the space comprising the First Offer Space offered by Landlord to Tenant at any particular time (including any space in the Project which is not part of the First Refusal Space), and Tenant may not elect to lease only a portion thereof.
iii.
Construction of First Offer Space. Tenant shall take the First Offer Space in its "As-Is" condition (unless otherwise provided in the First Offer Notice as part of the First Offer Economic Terms), and Tenant shall be entitled to construct improvements in the First Offer Space at Tenant's expense, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Article 8 of this Lease.
iv.
Continuing Right. If the space offered in Landlord's First Offer Notice is only a portion of the First Offer Space, then Tenant shall retain its right of first offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 1.5 with respect to the remaining portion of the First Offer Space which has never been included in a Landlord's First Offer Notice when Landlord determines that such remaining First offer Space is available for lease as set forth above.
v.
Lease of First Offer Space. If Tenant timely exercises Tenant's right to lease the First Offer Space as set forth herein, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment adding such First Offer Space to this Lease upon the First Offer Economic Terms set forth in Landlord's First Offer Notice and upon the same non-economic terms and conditions as applicable to the original Premises. Tenant shall commence payment of rent for the First Offer Space and the Lease Term of the First Offer Space shall commence upon the date of delivery of such space to Tenant. The Lease Term for the First Offer Space shall be as provided in the First Offer Notice as part of the First Offer Economic Terms.
vi.
No Defaults. The rights contained in this Section 1.5 shall be personal to the original Tenant executing this Lease ("Original Tenant"), and any Permitted Transferee (as defined in Section 14.8 below) and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or any such Permitted Transferee pursuant to Section 14.1 below (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant's interest in this Lease) if the Original Tenant (or such Permitted Transferee, as the case may be) occupies at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the entire Premises as of the date of Tenant's exercise of its right of first offer. In addition, at Landlord's option and in addition to Landlord's other remedies set forth in this Lease, at law and/or in equity, Tenant shall not have the right to lease the First Offer Space as provided in this Section 1.5 if, as of the date of the First Offer Notice, or, at Landlord's option, as of the scheduled date of delivery of such First Offer Space to Tenant, Tenant is in default under this Lease beyond the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods.
vii.
Remedy. The sole remedies of Tenant for a breach by Landlord of its obligations under this Section 1.5 shall be an action against Landlord for direct damages, a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, injunction or specific performance, but no other remedy, equitable or otherwise and in no event shall Landlord be liable for any consequential damages or loss of business or profits on account of such breach.

LEASE TERM

The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the Effective Date and shall be fully binding on Landlord and Tenant. The term of this Lease (the "Lease Term") shall be as set forth in Section 7.1 of the Summary and shall commence on the date (the "Lease Commencement Date") set forth in Section 7.2 of the Summary (subject, however, to the terms of the Tenant Work Letter), and shall terminate on the date (the "Lease Expiration Date") set forth in Section 7.3 of the Summary, unless this Lease is sooner terminated or extended 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 that the last Lease Year shall end on the Lease Expiration Date. If Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant Ready for Occupancy on or before the Anticipated Lease Commencement Date (as set forth in Section 7.2 of the Summary) in the condition required in Exhibit B attached hereto, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability nor shall the validity of this Lease nor the obligations of Tenant hereunder be affected but, subject to Tenant Delays, no Rent shall be due hereunder until Landlord's delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant Ready for Occupancy (subject, however, to acceleration of the Lease Commencement Date due to Tenant Delays as provided in Exhibit B); provided, however, if Landlord does not make possession of the Premises available to Tenant Ready for Occupancy on or before that date which is sixty (60) days after the Anticipated Lease Commencement Date ("Outside Date"), subject to deferral for Tenant Delays (as defined in Section 5.2 of Exhibit B) and Force Majeure delays (as defined in Section 24.17 below), then Tenant shall receive one (1) Free Rent Day (as hereinafter defined) for each day that elapses from and after the Outside Date until and including the date on which Landlord makes possession of the Premises available to Tenant Ready for Occupancy. A "Free Rent Day" means a day for which Tenant has no obligation to pay Base Rent and all Free Rent Days shall be applied as soon as possible following the Lease Commencement Date and any periods of Abated Rent. If the Lease Commencement Date is a date which is other than the date set forth in Section 7.2(ii) of the Summary, then, following the Lease Commencement Date, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant an amendment in the form as set forth in Exhibit D, attached hereto, setting forth, among other things, the Lease Commencement Date and the Lease Expiration Date, which amendment Tenant shall execute and return (or provide factual corrections to) to Landlord within five (5) business days after Tenant's receipt thereof. If Tenant fails to execute and return the amendment within such 5-business day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved and confirmed the dates set forth therein, provided that such deemed approval shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to execute and return (or provide factual corrections to) the amendment (and such failure shall constitute a default by Tenant hereunder). If Landlord does not deliver such amendment to Tenant, the Lease Commencement Date shall be deemed to be the date set forth in Section 7.2(ii) of the Summary.

3.


BASE RENT

Tenant shall pay, without notice or demand, to Landlord at the address set forth in Section 3 of the Summary, or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America by ACH (Automated Clearing House) payment or wire transfer of funds or by check, base rent ("Base Rent") as set forth in Section 8 of the Summary, payable in equal monthly installments as set forth in Section 8 of the Summary in advance on or before the first day of each and every month during the Lease Term, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever, except as expressly provided in this Lease. Concurrently with Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an amount equal to the Base Rent payable by Tenant for the Premises for the seventh (7th) full month of the Lease Term (i.e., $271,952.00). If any rental payment date (including the Lease Commencement Date) falls on a day of the month other than the first day of such month or if any rental payment is for a period which is shorter than one month, then the rental for any such fractional month shall be a proportionate amount of a full calendar month's rental based on the proportion that the number of days in such fractional month bears to the number of days in the calendar month during which such fractional month occurs. If the Lease Commencement Date falls on the first day of a month, the Base Rent delivered on the Effective Date shall be credited towards the first month's Base Rent (as defined in Article 4 below) payments. If the Lease Commencement Date is not on the first day of a month, then, on the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Base Rent for the period from the Lease Commencement Date through the last day of the month, and the Base Rent paid in advance on the Effective Date shall be credited towards Base Rent for the succeeding calendar month. All other payments or adjustments required to be made under the terms of this Lease that require proration on a time basis shall be prorated on the same basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and so long as no Event of Default exists under this Lease (beyond the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods), Landlord hereby agrees to abate Tenant's obligation to pay one hundred percent (100%) of Tenant's monthly Base Rent during the period which is the first (1st), second (2nd), third (3rd), fourth (4th), fifth (5th) and sixth (6th) full calendar months following the Lease Commencement Date (collectively the "Abated Rent"). During such abatement period, Tenant shall still be responsible for the payment of all of its other monetary obligations under this Lease. In the event of a default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease that results in early termination pursuant to the provisions of Article 19 of this Lease, then as part of the recovery set forth in Article 19 of this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to the recovery of the unamortized amount of monthly Base Rent that was abated under the provisions of this Article 3.

If Landlord is not furnishing any particular work or service (the cost of which, if performed by Landlord, would be included in Operating Expenses) to a tenant who has undertaken to perform such work or service in lieu of the performance thereof by Landlord, Operating Expenses shall be deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the additional Operating Expenses which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord if it had at its own expense furnished such work or service to such tenant. If any of (x) the Building, (y) the Other Existing Buildings (but only during the period of time the same are included by Landlord within the Project) and (z) any additional buildings are added to the Project pursuant to Section 1.1.3 above (but only during the period of time after such additional buildings have been fully constructed and ready for occupancy and are included by Landlord within the Project) are less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during all or a portion of any Expense Year, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to the variable components of Operating Expenses for such year or applicable portion thereof, employing sound accounting and management principles, to determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been paid had the Building, such Other Existing Buildings and such additional buildings (if any) been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied; and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of Operating Expenses for such year, or applicable portion thereof. Operating Expenses shall not include Utilities Costs and Taxes.

Such Cost Pools may also include an allocation of certain Operating Expenses (and/or Taxes and Utilities Costs) within or under covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Project. In addition, Landlord shall have the right from time to time, in its reasonable discretion, to include or exclude existing or future buildings in the Project for purposes of determining Operating Expenses, Taxes and Utilities Costs and/or the provision of various services and amenities thereto, including allocation of Operating Expenses, Taxes and Utilities Costs in any such Cost Pools.

It is the intention of Tenant and Landlord that all such new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies, and charges and all similar assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included within the definition of Taxes for purposes of this Lease;, (3) a license fee measured by the rents, or (4) any other tax, assessment, levy, imposition, charge or license fee however described or imposed, including business improvement district impositions, then all such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions, charges or license fees or the part thereof so measured or based shall be deemed to be Taxes.
vii.
"Tenant's Share" shall mean the percentage set forth in Section 9 of the Summary. Tenant's Share was calculated by dividing the number of rentable square feet of the Premises by the total rentable square feet in the Building (as set forth in Section 9 of the Summary), and stating such amount as a percentage. Landlord shall have the right to adjust Tenant's Share only if the physical size of the Building, the Premises and/or Project has changed. If Tenant's Share is adjusted pursuant to the foregoing, as to the Expense Year in which such adjustment occurs, Tenant's Share for such year shall be determined on the basis of the number of days during such Expense Year that each such Tenant's Share was in effect.
viii.
"Utilities Costs" shall mean all actual charges for utilities for the Building and the Project (including utilities for the Other Buildings and additional buildings, if any, added to the Project during the period of time the same are included by Landlord within the Project) which Landlord shall pay during any Expense Year, including, but not limited to, the costs of water, sewer, gas and electricity, and the costs of HVAC and other utilities, including any lab utilities and central plant utilities (but excluding those charges for which tenants directly reimburse Landlord or otherwise pay directly to the utility company) as well as related fees, assessments, measurement meters and devices and surcharges. Utilities Costs shall be calculated assuming the Building (and, during the period of time when such buildings are included by Landlord within the Project, the Other Buildings and any additional buildings, if any, added to the Project) are at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupied. If, during all or any part of any Expense Year, Landlord shall not provide any utilities (the cost of which, if provided by Landlord, would be included in Utilities Costs) to a tenant (including Tenant) who has undertaken to provide the same instead of Landlord, Utilities Costs shall be deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the additional Utilities Costs which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord if Landlord had at its own expense provided such utilities to such tenant. Utilities Costs shall include any costs of utilities which are allocated to the Project under any declaration, restrictive covenant, or other instrument pertaining to the sharing of costs by the Project or any portion thereof, including any covenants, conditions or restrictions now or hereafter recorded against or affecting the Project.
c.

i.
Payment of Operating Expenses and Utilities Costs. For each Expense Year ending or commencing within the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the following, which payment shall be made in the manner set forth in Section 4.3.2 below: (i) Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below plus (ii) Tenant's Share of Utilities Costs allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below.
ii.

Landlord shall give Tenant on or before the first (1st) day of April following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the "Statement") which shall state the Operating Expenses, Taxes and Utilities Costs incurred or accrued for such

preceding Expense Year that are allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below, and which shall indicate therein Tenant's Share thereof. Within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year ending during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the full amount of the Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, and Utilities Costs for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as the Estimated Expenses as defined in and pursuant to Section 4.3.3 below. If any Statement reflects that Tenant has overpaid Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses and/or Tenant's Share of and/or Tenant's Share of Utilities Costs for such Expense Year, then Landlord shall, at Landlord's option, either (i) remit such overpayment to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such applicable Statement is delivered to Tenant, or (ii) credit such overpayment toward the additional Rent next due and payable to Tenant under this Lease. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord from enforcing its rights under this Article 4, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, if the Statement for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates reflects that Tenant has overpaid and/or underpaid Tenant's Share of the Operating Expenses and/or Tenant's Share of and/or Tenant's Share of Utilities Costs for such Expense Year, then within thirty (30) days after Landlord's delivery of such Statement to Tenant, Landlord shall refund to Tenant any such overpayment, or Tenant shall pay to Landlord any such underpayment, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall not be responsible for Tenant's Share of any Operating Expenses attributable to any Expense Year which was first billed to Tenant more than twelve (12) months after the date (the "Cutoff Date") which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the applicable Expense Year or (ii) the Lease Expiration Date. Subject to Tenant's right to audit during the Review Period in Section 4.7, Tenant's failure to object any Statement within six (6) months after Tenant's receipt thereof shall constitute Tenant's irrevocable waiver to object to the same. The provisions of this Section 4.3.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
iii.
Statement of Estimated Operating Expenses and Utilities Costs. Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the "Estimate Statement") no later than April 1 of each Expense Year (or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible), which shall set forth Landlord's reasonable estimate (the "Estimate") of the total amount of Tenant's Share of the Operating Expenses, and Utilities Costs allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below for the then-current Expense Year shall be, and which shall indicate therein Tenant's Share thereof (the "Estimated Expenses"). 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 Expenses under this Article 4. Following Landlord's delivery of the Estimate Statement for the then-current Expense Year, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimated Expenses for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.3.3). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year to the month of such payment, both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished, Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Expenses set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.
iv.
Allocation of Operating Expenses, Taxes and Utilities Costs to Building. The parties acknowledge that the Building is part of a multi-building commercial project consisting of the Building, and the Other Existing Buildings and such other buildings as Landlord may elect to construct and include as part of the Project from time to time (the Other Existing Buildings and any such other buildings are sometimes referred to herein, collectively, as the "Other Buildings"), and that certain of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project (i.e., the Operating Expenses, Taxes and Utilities Costs) shall be shared among the Building and/or such Other Buildings, while certain other costs and expenses which are solely attributable to the Building and such Other Buildings, as applicable, shall be allocated directly to the Building and the Other Buildings, respectively. Accordingly, as set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 above, Operating Expenses, Taxes and Utilities Costs are determined annually for the Project as a whole, and a portion of the Operating Expenses, Taxes and Utilities Costs, which portion shall be determined by Landlord on an equitable basis (which shall take into account whether any tenants of other buildings within the Project consume more services or utilities on a per rentable square foot basis than Tenant does, and make adjustments to prevent an inequitable burden being placed on Tenant as a consequence), shall be allocated to the Building (as opposed to the tenants of the Other Buildings), and such portion so allocated shall be the amount of Operating Expenses, Taxes and Utilities Costs payable with respect to the Building upon which Tenant's Share shall be calculated. Such portion of the Operating Expenses, Taxes and Utilities Costs allocated to the Building shall include all Operating Expenses, Taxes and Utilities Costs which are attributable solely to the Building, and an equitable portion of the Operating Expenses, Taxes and Utilities Costs attributable to the Project as a whole. As an example of such allocation with respect to Taxes and Utilities Costs, it is anticipated that Landlord (and/or any other owners of the Project) may receive

separate tax bills which separately assess the improvements component of Taxes for each building in the Project and/or Landlord may receive separate utilities bills from the utilities companies identifying the Utilities Costs for certain of the utilities costs directly incurred by each such building (as measured by separate meters installed for each such building), and such separately assessed Taxes and separately metered Utilities Costs shall be calculated for and allocated separately to each such applicable building. In addition, in the event Landlord (and/or any other owners of the Project) elect to subdivide certain common area portions of the Project such as landscaping, public and private streets, driveways, walkways, courtyards, plazas, transportation facilitation areas and/or accessways into a separate parcel or parcels of land (and/or separately convey all or any of such parcels to a common area association to own, operate and/or maintain same), the Operating Expenses, Taxes and Utilities Costs for such common area parcels of land may be aggregated and then reasonably allocated by Landlord to the Building and such Other Buildings on an equitable basis as Landlord (and/or any applicable covenants, conditions and restrictions for any such common area association) shall provide from time to time.
d.
Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all taxes or assessments required to be paid by Landlord (except to the extent included in Taxes by Landlord), excluding state, local and federal personal or corporate income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources and estate and inheritance taxes, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto, when:
i.
said taxes are measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises, or by the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant, to the extent the cost or value of such leasehold improvements exceeds the cost or value of a building standard build-out as determined by Landlord regardless of whether title to such improvements shall be vested in Tenant or Landlord;
ii.
said taxes are 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; or
iii.
said taxes are assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.
e.
Tenant's Tax Payment. Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's Tax Payment payable for each Expense Year ("Tenant's Tax Payment").
i.
For each Expense Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement setting forth Landlord's reasonable estimate of Tenant's Tax Payment for such Expense Year (the "Tax Estimate"). Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first (1st) day of each month during such Expense Year an amount equal to 1/12 of the Tax Estimate for such Expense Year. Landlord shall have the right, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant, to reasonably adjust the Tax Estimate from time to time during any Expense Year. If Landlord furnishes a Tax Estimate for an Expense Year subsequent to the commencement thereof, then:
1.
(i) until the first (1st) day of the month following the month in which the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first (1st) day of each month an amount equal to the monthly sum payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Section 4.5 during the last month of the preceding Expense Year,
2.
promptly after the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant or together therewith, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant stating whether the installments of Tenant's Tax Estimate previously made for such Expense Year were greater or less than the installments of Tenant's Tax Estimate to be made for such Expense Year in accordance with the Tax Estimate, and (x) if there shall be a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within ten (10) business days after demand therefor, or (y) if there shall have been an overpayment, Landlord shall credit the amount thereof against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder, and
3.
on the first (1st) day of the month following the month in which the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant, and on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter throughout the remainder of such Expense Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to 1/12 of the Tax Estimate.

 

 

-11-

 

 


 

ii.
As soon as reasonably practicable after Landlord has determined the Taxes for an Expense Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a Statement for such Expense Year. If the Statement shall show that the sums paid by Tenant under Section 4.5 exceeded the actual amount of Tenant's Tax Payment for such Expense Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder. If the Statement for such Expense Year shall show that the sums so paid by Tenant were less than Tenant's Tax Payment for such Expense Year, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency within ten (10) business days after delivery of the Statement to Tenant.
iii.
Only Landlord may institute proceedings to reduce the Assessed Valuation of the Real Property and the filings of any such proceeding by Tenant without Landlord's consent shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant. If the Taxes payable for any Expense Year are reduced, the Additional Rent previously paid or payable on account of Tenant's Tax Payment hereunder for such Expense Year shall be recomputed on the basis of such reduction, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord within ten (10) business days after being billed therefor, any deficiency between the amount of such Additional Rent previously computed and paid by Tenant to Landlord, and the amount due as a result of such recomputations. If Landlord receives a refund of Taxes for any Expense Year, Landlord shall credit against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder, an amount equal to Tenant's Share of the refund, net of any expenses incurred by Landlord in achieving such refund, which amount shall not exceed Tenant's Tax Payment paid for such Expense Year. Landlord shall not be obligated to file any application or institute any proceeding seeking a reduction in Taxes or the Assessed Valuation.
iv.
Tenant shall be responsible for any applicable occupancy or rent tax now in effect or hereafter enacted and, if such tax is payable by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly pay such amounts to Landlord, upon Landlord's demand.
v.
Tenant shall be obligated to make Tenant's Tax Payment regardless of whether Tenant may be exempt from the payment of any Taxes as the result of any reduction, abatement or exemption from Taxes granted or agreed to by any governmental authority, or by reason of Tenant's diplomatic or other tax-exempt status.
f.
Late Charges. If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee by the due date therefor, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount due plus any attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder; provided, however, that Landlord will waive the imposition of the late charges for the first late payment of rent in any consecutive twelve (12) month period. 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, at law and/or in equity 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 by the date that they are due shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate (the "Interest Rate") equal to the lesser of (i) the "Prime Rate" or "Reference Rate" announced from time to time by the Bank of America (or such reasonable comparable national banking institution as selected by Landlord in the event Bank of America ceases to exist or publish a Prime Rate or Reference Rate), plus four percent (4%), or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law.
g.
Audit Rights. Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's cost, after reasonable notice to Landlord, to have Tenant's authorized employees or agents inspect, at Landlord's main corporate office during normal business hours, Landlord's books, records and supporting documents concerning the Operating Expenses, Taxes and Utilities Costs set forth in any Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant for a particular Expense Year pursuant to Section 4.3.2 above; provided, however, Tenant shall have no right to conduct such inspection or object to or otherwise dispute the amount of the Operating Expenses, Taxes and Utilities Costs set forth in any such Statement, unless Tenant notifies Landlord of such inspection objection and dispute, completes such inspection within six (6) months immediately following Landlord's delivery of a Statement (the "Review Period"); provided, further, that notwithstanding any such timely inspection, objection, dispute, and/or audit, and as a condition precedent to Tenant's exercise of its right of inspection, objection, dispute, and/or audit as set forth in this Section 4.7, Tenant shall not be permitted to withhold payment of, and Tenant shall timely pay to Landlord, the full amounts as required by the provisions of this Article 4 in accordance with such Statement. However, such payment may be made under protest pending the outcome of any audit. In connection with any such inspection by Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with each other so that such inspection can be performed pursuant to a mutually acceptable schedule, in an expeditious manner and without undue interference with Landlord's operation and management of the Project. If after such inspection

 

 

-12-

 

 


 

and/or request for documentation, Tenant disputes the amount of the Operating Expenses, Taxes or Utilities Costs set forth in the Statement, Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, within the Review Period, to cause an independent certified public accountant which is not paid on a contingency basis and which is mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant (the "Accountant") to complete an audit of Landlord's books and records to determine the proper amount of the Operating Expenses, Taxes and Utilities Costs incurred and amounts payable by Tenant for the Expense Year which is the subject of such Statement. Such audit by the Accountant shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant cannot mutually agree as to the identity of the Accountant within thirty (30) days after Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant desires an audit to be performed, then the Accountant shall be one of the "Big 4" accounting firms selected by Landlord, which is not paid on a contingency basis and is not, and has not been, otherwise employed or retained by Landlord. If such audit reveals that Landlord has over-charged Tenant, then within thirty (30) days after the results of such audit are made available to Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse to Tenant the amount of such over-charge. If the audit reveals that the Tenant was under-charged, then within thirty (30) days after the results of such audit are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord the amount of such under-charge. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such audit unless it is subsequently determined that Landlord's original Statement which was the subject of such audit was in error to Tenant's disadvantage by five percent (5%) or more of the total Operating Expenses, Taxes or Utilities Costs which was the subject of the audit (in which case Landlord shall pay the cost of such audit). The payment by Tenant of any amounts pursuant to this Article 4 shall not preclude Tenant from questioning the correctness of any Statement provided by Landlord at any time during the Review Period, but the failure of Tenant to object thereto, conduct and complete its inspection and have the Accountant conduct and complete the audit as described above prior to the expiration of the Review Period shall be conclusively deemed Tenant's approval of the Statement in question and the amount of Operating Expenses, Taxes and Utilities Costs shown thereon, subject to Tenant's right to review Statements for the prior twelve (12) months. In connection with any inspection and/or audit conducted by Tenant pursuant to this Section 4.7, Tenant agrees to keep, and to cause all of Tenant's employees and consultants and the Accountant to keep, all of Landlord's books and records and the audit, and all information pertaining thereto and the results thereof, strictly confidential, and in connection therewith, Tenant shall cause such employees, consultants and the Accountant to execute such reasonable confidentiality agreements as Landlord may require prior to conducting any such inspections and/or audits.
5.


USE OF PREMISES; HAZARDOUS MATERIALS; ODORS AND EXHAUST
a.
Use. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the Permitted Use and consistent with the character of the Project as a first-class biotechnology project, and Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose or purposes whatsoever. Tenant shall not use, or suffer or permit any person or persons to use, the Premises or any part thereof for any use or purpose contrary to the provisions of Exhibit E, attached hereto, or in violation of any Requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
i.
Tenant shall use the office areas (shown on Exhibit A-2) ("Office Areas") only for office uses and for no other purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may elect, from time-to-time, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.1.3, to change the use of Office Areas to lab uses, subject in each instance to the prior consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld by Landlord in its sole discretion. Any such change in use of Office Areas to lab uses shall be subject to applicable Requirements and to compliance by Tenant with the terms and conditions of Article 8. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses arising out of or resulting from any such change in use of Office Areas to lab uses.
ii.
Tenant shall use the Lab Areas (shown on Exhibit A-2) ("Lab Areas") only for lab uses (including vivarium uses) and for no other purposes. Tenant may elect, from time-to-time, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.1.3, to change the use of Lab Areas to office uses, subject in each instance to the prior consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed (subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.1.3). Any such change in use of Lab Areas to office uses shall be subject to applicable Requirements and to compliance by Tenant with the terms and conditions of Article 8. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses arising out of or resulting from any such change in use of Lab Areas to office uses.
iii.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at all times during the Term, not less than approximately fifty percent (50%) of the rentable area of the Premises shall be used for lab uses (the "Lab Allocation"), and not more

 

 

-13-

 

 


 

than approximately fifty percent (50%) of the rentable area of the Premises shall be used for office uses (the "Office Allocation"); provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right, upon prior written notice to Landlord but without Landlord's consent, to increase or decrease the Lab Allocation by up to five percent (5%) (with a corresponding increase or decrease in the Office Allocation) so long as any increase in allocation pertains only to space contiguous to the Lab Areas (and so long as any such change maintains the Lab Areas in a contiguous layout). Landlord shall not be considered to be unreasonable in withholding consent for a change in the use of any respective area of the Premises that when given effect would result in the use of the Premises being in breach of the foregoing covenant.
iv.
Notwithstanding anything in Sections 5.1.1 through 5.1.4 above, the allocation of Office Areas and Lab Areas shown on the Final Space Plan (as defined in the Tenant Work Letter) is deemed approved by Landlord.

As used in this Lease, "Requirements" shall mean present and future laws, rules, orders, ordinances, regulations, statutes, requirements, codes and executive orders, extraordinary and ordinary of (i) all Governmental Authorities, including, without limitation, (A) the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101 (et seq.), and any law of like import, and all rules, regulations and government orders with respect thereto, and (B) any Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits (as defined in Section 5.2.1 below), environmental matters, public health and safety matters and landmarks protection, (ii) any applicable fire rating bureau or other body exercising similar functions, affecting the Real Property or the maintenance, use or occupation thereof, or any street, avenue or sidewalk comprising a part of or in front thereof or any vault in or under the same, (iii) all requirements of all insurance bodies affecting the Premises, (iv) utility service providers, and (v) Mortgagees or lessors. "Requirements" shall also include the terms and conditions of any certificate of occupancy issued for the Premises or the Building, and any CC&Rs (as defined below) affecting the Building and/or the Real Property from time to time. Tenant shall comply with the Rules and Regulations and all recorded covenants, conditions, and restrictions, and the provisions of all ground or underlying leases (collectively, the "CC&Rs"), as the same may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time; provided that any such amendments, restatements, supplements or modifications (a) do not materially modify Tenant's rights or obligations hereunder, and (b) are provided to Tenant in writing no less than three (3) days prior to enforcement.

ii.
Tenant's Obligations – Environmental Permits. Tenant will (i) obtain and maintain in full force and effect all Environmental Permits that may be required from time to time under any Environmental Laws applicable to Tenant or Tenant's use of the Premises and (ii) be and remain in compliance with all terms and conditions of all such Environmental Permits and with all other limitations, restrictions, conditions, standards, prohibitions, requirements, obligations, schedules and timetables contained in all Environmental Laws applicable to Tenant or Tenant's use of the Premises.
iii.
Tenant's Obligations – Hazardous Materials. Except as expressly permitted in this Lease, Tenant agrees not to cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to be brought upon, stored, used, handled, generated, released or disposed of on, in, under or about the Premises, or any other portion of the Property by Tenant, its agents, employees, subtenants, assignees, licensees, contractors or invitees (collectively, "Tenant's Parties"), without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord may withhold in its commercially reasonable discretion. Landlord acknowledges that it is not the intent of this Section 5.2 to prohibit Tenant from operating its business for the uses permitted in this Lease. Tenant may operate its business according to the custom of Tenant's industry so long as the use or presence of Hazardous Materials is strictly and properly monitored in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws. As a material inducement to Landlord to allow Tenant to use Hazardous Materials in connection with its business, Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord prior to the Lease Commencement Date (i) a list identifying each type of Hazardous Material to be present at the Premises and setting forth any and all governmental approvals or permits required in connection with the presence of such Hazardous Material at the Premises (the "Hazardous Materials List"), the form of which Hazardous Materials List is attached hereto as Exhibit F and (ii) an environmental questionnaire (the "Environmental Questionnaire") in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto, for review and approval by Landlord. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an updated Hazardous Materials List and Environmental Questionnaire on or prior to each annual anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date and shall also deliver an updated Hazardous Materials List after any new Hazardous Materials are brought to the Premises. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord true and correct copies of the following documents (hereinafter referred to as the "Documents") relating to the handling, storage, disposal and emission of Hazardous Materials prior to the Lease Commencement Date or, if unavailable at that time, concurrently with the receipt from or submission to any Governmental Authority: permits; approvals; reports and correspondence; storage and management plans; notices of violations of applicable Environmental Laws; plans relating to the installation of any storage tanks to be installed in, on, under or about the Premises (provided that installation of storage tanks shall only be permitted after Landlord has given Tenant its written consent to do so, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion); and all closure plans or any other documents required by any and all governmental authorities for any storage tanks installed in, on, under or about the Premises for the closure of any such storage tanks. For each type of Hazardous Material listed, the Documents shall include (t) the chemical name, (u) the material state (e.g., solid, liquid, gas or cryogen), (v) the concentration, (w) the storage amount and storage condition (e.g., in cabinets or not in cabinets), (x) the use amount and use condition (e.g., open use or closed use), (y) the location (e.g., room number or other identification) and (z) if known, the chemical abstract service number. Tenant shall not be required, however, to provide Landlord with any portion of the Documents containing information of a proprietary nature, which Documents, in and of themselves, do not contain a reference to any Hazardous Materials or activities related to Hazardous Materials. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant agrees to promptly remove from the Premises, the Building and the Project, at its sole cost and expense, any and all Hazardous Materials, including any equipment or systems containing Hazardous Materials which are installed, brought upon, stored, used, generated or released upon, in, under or about the Premises, the Building and/or the Project or any portion thereof by Tenant or any of Tenant's Parties during the Term of this Lease.
iv.
Landlord's Right to Conduct Environmental Assessment. At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord shall have the right, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to conduct an environmental assessment of the Premises (as well as any other areas in, on or about the Project that Landlord reasonably believes may have been affected adversely by Tenant's use of the Premises (collectively, the "Affected Areas") in order to confirm that the Premises and the Affected Areas do not contain any Hazardous Materials in violation of applicable Environmental Laws or under conditions constituting or likely to constitute a Release of Hazardous Materials. Such environmental assessment shall be a so-called "Phase I" assessment or such other level of investigation which shall be the standard of diligence in the purchase or lease of similar property at the time, together with, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, any additional investigation and report which would customarily follow any discovery of a Tenant violation of this Section contained in such initial Phase I assessment (including, but not limited to, any so-called "Phase II" report). Such right to conduct such environmental assessment shall not be exercised more than once per calendar year unless

 

 

-15-

 

 


 

Tenant has caused a Release in the Premises. If the data from any environmental assessment authorized and undertaken by Landlord pursuant to this Section 5.2 indicates there has been a Release, threatened Release or other conditions with respect to Hazardous Materials on, under or emanating from the Premises and the Affected Areas that may require any investigation and/or active response action, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days' notice, reimburse Landlord for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the assessment, otherwise such cost and expenses shall be at the sole cost of Landlord and shall not be included within Operating Expenses.
v.
Tenant's Obligations to perform Corrective Action. If the data from any environmental assessment authorized and undertaken by Landlord pursuant to Section 5.2.4 indicates there has been a Release, threatened Release or other conditions with respect to Hazardous Materials on, under or emanating from the Premises and the Affected Areas that may require any investigation and/or active response action, including without limitation active or passive remediation and monitoring or any combination of these activities ("Corrective Action"), Tenant shall immediately undertake Corrective Action with respect to contamination if, and to the extent, required by the governmental authority exercising jurisdiction over the matter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall have no responsibility for any Hazardous Materials present in the Premises or Project as of the Lease Commencement Date or which migrate thereto through air, water or soil through no fault of Tenant or any Tenant's Parties, or are introduced by Landlord, other tenant(s) of the Project, or any third party not under Tenant's control. Any Corrective Action performed by Tenant will be performed with Landlord's prior written approval and in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws, at Tenant's sole cost and expense and by an environmental consulting firm (reasonably acceptable to Landlord). Tenant may perform the Corrective Action before or after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, to the extent permitted by governmental agencies with jurisdiction over the Premises, the Building and the Project (provided, however, that any Corrective Action performed after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall be subject to the access fee provisions set forth below). If Tenant undertakes or continues Corrective Action after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord, upon being given forty-eight (48) hours' advance notice, may, in Landlord's sole discretion, elect (without limiting any of the Landlord's other rights and remedies under this Lease, at law and/or in equity), to require, an "access fee" be paid in an amount equal to (a) for the first three (3) months, one hundred five percent (105%) of the Monthly Rent in effect for the last month immediately preceding the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and (b) thereafter, one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Monthly Rent in effect for the last month immediately preceding the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (prorated on the basis of the amount of rentable square footage which Landlord is unable to lease due to Tenant's Corrective Action) for such access to the Premises, the Building and the Project as may be requested by Tenant and its consultant to accomplish the Corrective Action. Tenant or its consultant may install, inspect, maintain, replace and operate remediation equipment and conduct the Corrective Action as it considers necessary, subject to Landlord's approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant and Landlord shall, in good faith, cooperate with each other with respect to any Corrective Action after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease so as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of Landlord's or any third party's business on the Premises, the Building and the Project. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, provide access until Tenant delivers evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that Tenant's Corrective Action activities on the Premises and the Affected Areas satisfy applicable Environmental Laws. It shall be reasonable for Landlord to require Tenant to deliver a "no further action" letter or substantially similar document from the applicable governmental agency, if such letter is customarily provided in similar circumstances in the jurisdiction in which the Project is located. If Landlord desires to situate a tenant in the Premises, the Building or the Project for the Permitted Use and remediation of the Premises and the Affected Areas is ongoing to the extent that this is not possible, Landlord shall be deemed to be unable to use the Premises, the Building and the Project in the way Landlord reasonably desires and Tenant shall be obligated to continue paying the access fee until such time as Environmental Laws would permit Landlord to situate said tenant in the Premises, the Building and/or the Project for the Permitted Use. Tenant agrees to install, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, screening around its remediation equipment so as to protect the aesthetic appeal of the Premises, the Building and the Project. Tenant also agrees to use reasonable efforts to locate its remediation and/or monitoring equipment, if any (subject to the requirements of Tenant's consultant and governmental agencies with jurisdiction over the Premises, the Building and the Project) in a location which will allow Landlord, to the extent reasonably practicable, the ability to lease the Premises, the Building and the Project to a subsequent user.
vi.
Tenant's Duty to Notify Landlord Regarding Releases. Tenant agrees to promptly notify Landlord of any Release of Hazardous Materials in the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Parties in the Building or any other portion of the Project which Tenant becomes aware of during the Term of this Lease, whether caused by Tenant or any other Tenant Parties. In the event of any release of Hazardous Materials caused or permitted by Tenant or any of

 

 

-16-

 

 


 

Tenant's Parties, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to immediately take all reasonable steps Landlord deems necessary or appropriate to remediate such Release in accordance with Environmental Laws and implement a program to prevent any similar future release to the commercially reasonable satisfaction of Landlord and Landlord's Mortgagee(s).
vii.
Tenant's Environmental Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to promptly indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Landlord and the Landlord Parties (as defined in Section 24.14 below) from and against any and all claims, damages, judgments, suits, causes of action, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, expenses and costs (including, without limitation, clean-up, removal, remediation and restoration costs, sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys' fees, consultant fees and expert fees and court costs) which arise or result from the presence of Hazardous Materials on, in, under or about the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Project and which are caused or permitted by Tenant or any of Tenant's Parties during the Term of this Lease, to the extent arising from or caused directly or indirectly, by (i) the presence in, on, under or about the Premises and the Affected Areas, of any Hazardous Materials introduced by Tenant or any Tenant parties; (ii) Tenant's or any Tenant Party's actual, proposed or threatened use, treatment, storage, transportation, holding, existence, disposition, manufacturing, control, management, abatement, removal, handling, transfer, generation or Release (past, present or threatened) of Hazardous Materials to, in, on, under, about or from the Premises or Affected Areas; (iii) any past, present or threatened non-compliance or violations of any Environmental Laws in connection with Tenant and/or the Premises and/or the Affected Areas; (iv) personal injury claims; (v) the payment of any environmental liens, or the disposition, recording, or filing or threatened disposition, recording or filing of any environmental lien encumbering or otherwise affecting the Premises and/or the Affected Areas; (vi) diminution in the value of the Premises and/or the Project; (vii) damages for the loss or restriction of use of the Premises and/or the Project, including prospective rent, lost profits and business opportunities; (viii) sums paid in settlement of claims; (ix) reasonable attorneys' fees, consulting fees and expert fees; (x) the cost of any investigation of site conditions; and (xi) the cost of any repair, clean-up or remediation ordered by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency or body or otherwise deemed necessary in Landlord's reasonable judgment. Tenant's obligations hereunder shall include, without limitation, and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, all costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification or decontamination of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project, or the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial action or other required plans in connection therewith required by applicable Environmental Laws. For purposes of the indemnity provisions in this Section 5.2, any acts or omissions of Tenant and/or Tenant's Parties or others acting for or on behalf of Tenant (whether or not they are negligent, intentional, willful or unlawful) shall be strictly attributable to Tenant. The provisions of this Section 5.2.7 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
viii.
Intentionally omitted.
ix.
Landlord's Termination Option for Certain Environmental Problems. If Hazardous Materials are present at the Premises that are required by Environmental Law to be remediated and Tenant is not responsible therefor pursuant to Section 5.2, Landlord may, at its option, either (i) remediate such Hazardous Materials, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect or (ii) if the estimated cost to remediate such Hazardous Materials exceeds Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (the "Threshold Amount"), give written notice to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of knowledge of the existence of such Hazardous Materials, of Landlord's desire to terminate this Lease as of the date ninety (90) days following the date of such notice (in which case Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for its actual, documented and reasonable relocation costs and expenses). In the event Landlord elects to give such a termination notice to Tenant, Tenant may, within ten (10) business days after receipt, give written notice to Landlord of Tenant's commitment to pay the amount by which the cost of the remediation of such Hazardous Materials released by Tenant exceeds the Threshold Amount. Tenant shall provide Landlord with such funds or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days following such commitment, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Landlord shall proceed to make such remediation as soon as reasonably possible after the required funds are available.

ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS
a.
Landlord's Consent to Alterations. Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes 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 thirty (30) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to any Alterations which may affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and Equipment, or which can be seen from outside the Premises, or which, in Landlord’s sole but good faith discretion, lessen the value of the Building or which are not consistent with typical alterations made by institutional tenants of first-class biotechnology projects in the general vicinity of the Project ("Prohibited Alterations"). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, prior consent shall not be required with respect to painting in the interior of the Premises. In addition, Landlord's prior consent shall not be required for Alterations which (i) are non-structural and do not affect any Building Systems, (ii) affect only the Premises and are not visible from outside of the Premises or the Building, (iii) do not require a building permit, conditional use permit, variance, waiver or other relief from any applicable Requirement, (iv) do not affect the fixed laboratory benches or fume hoods in the Premises, (v) comply in all respects with all applicable Requirements, (vi) are not Prohibited Alterations and (vii) cost less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) for any one (1) job ("Permitted Alterations"), so long as Tenant provides Landlord with prior written notice of such proposed Permitted Alterations and so long as the other conditions of this Article 8 are satisfied including, without limitation, conforming to Landlord's established rules, regulations and insurance requirements which govern contractors.

-23-

 

 


 

materials, mechanics and materialmen approved by Landlord which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, Landlord may impose such requirements as Landlord may determine, in its commercially reasonable discretion, with respect to any work affecting the structural components of the Building or Systems and Equipment (including designating specific contractors to perform such work). Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in compliance with any and all applicable rules and regulations of any federal, state, county or municipal code or ordinance and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the city in which the Building is located, and in conformance with Landlord's construction rules and regulations. Landlord's approval of the plans, specifications and working drawings for Tenant's Alterations shall create no responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with all laws, rules and regulations of governmental agencies or authorities. All work with respect to any Alterations must be done in a good and workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to completion to the end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit except during the period of work. Tenant shall cause all Alterations to be performed in such manner as not to obstruct access by any person to the Building or Project or the common areas, and as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants of the Project, or interfere with the labor force working at the Project. If Tenant makes any Alterations, Tenant agrees to carry "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 below immediately upon completion thereof. If any Alterations are expected to cost in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00), Landlord may, in its discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee. Upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall (i) cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the county in which the Project is located in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, (ii) deliver to the management office of the Building a reproducible copy of the "as built" drawings of the Alterations, and (iii) deliver to Landlord evidence of payment, contractors' affidavits and full and final waivers of all liens for labor, services or materials.
c.
Ownership of Alterations.

Furthermore, Landlord may require (in a notice given concurrently with Landlord's grant of its consent to such Alterations or with respect to Permitted Alterations, within three (3) business days of Tenant's notice to Landlord of such Permitted Alterations) that Tenant remove any such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment upon the expiration or early termination of the Lease Term, and repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal. Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, Landlord may not require Tenant to remove improvements which are consistent with typical tenant improvements for the Permitted Use; provided, however, in all cases Tenant shall be required to remove, and to restore the Premises or Project, as applicable, to their previous condition, the following Alterations installed by Tenant during the Term (and expressly excluding the initial Tenant Improvements): (a) any cafeteria, kitchens, vivarium, showers, restrooms, washrooms or similar facilities in the Premises that are not part of the Base Building, (b) any private/internal stairways in the Premises, as opposed to fire stairs (and Tenant shall be required to demolish and "cap" any such private/internal stairways at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease), (c) any other items, improvements or fixtures which Tenant is expressly required to remove pursuant to the terms of this Lease, (d) any improvements or signage incorporating Tenant's name or logo, (e) safes and vaults, (f) raised flooring, and (g) any alteration, improvement or equipment not complying with Applicable Laws. Any Alterations or Improvements other than those consistent with typical tenant improvements for the Permitted Use or as numerated in (a) through (g) above, are "Specialty Alterations". If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair by the end of the Lease Term, Landlord may do so and may charge the cost thereof to Tenant. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 8 to the contrary, in no event shall Tenant remove any improvement from the Premises as to which Landlord contributed payment, including the Tenant Improvements, without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. Under no circumstance shall Landlord require Tenant to remove or restore (or pay for the removal or restoration of the Tenant Improvements constructed in accordance with the Work Letter to the extent the same are not Specialty Alterations; provided that Landlord agrees that the improvements shown on the Final Space Plan attached to this Lease are not Specialty Alterations.

In the event Landlord consents to Tenant's installation of such Wi-Fi Network, Tenant shall, in accordance with Article 15 below, remove the Wi-Fi Network from the Premises prior to the termination of the Lease. Tenant shall use the Wi-Fi Network so as not to cause any interference to other tenants in the Building or to other tenants at the Project or with any other tenant's communication equipment, and not to damage the Building or Project or interfere with the normal operation of the Building or Project, and Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including attorneys' fees) arising out of Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.4, except to the extent same is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and which is not covered by the insurance carried by Tenant under this Lease (or which would not be covered by the insurance required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease). Should any interference occur, Tenant shall take all necessary steps as soon as reasonably possible and no later than five (5) calendar days following such occurrence to correct such interference. If such interference continues after such five (5) day period, Tenant shall immediately cease operating such Wi-Fi Network until such interference is corrected or remedied to Landlord's satisfaction. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has granted and/or may grant telecommunication rights to other tenants and occupants of the Building and Project and to telecommunication service providers and in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any interference of the same with such Wi-Fi Network. Landlord makes no representation that the Wi-Fi Network will be able to receive or transmit communication signals without interference or disturbance. Tenant shall (i) be solely responsible for any damage caused as a result of the Wi-Fi Network, (ii) promptly pay any tax, license or permit fees charged pursuant to any laws or regulations in connection with the installation, maintenance or use of the Wi-Fi Network and comply with all precautions and safeguards recommended by all governmental authorities, (iii) pay for all necessary repairs, replacements to or maintenance of the Wi-Fi Network, and (iv) be responsible for any modifications, additions or repairs to the Building or Project, including without limitation, Building or Project systems or infrastructure, which are required by reason of the installation, operation or removal of Tenant's Wi-Fi Network. Should Landlord be required to retain professionals to research any interference issues that may arise and confirm Tenant's compliance with the terms of this Section 8.4, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord's retention of such professionals, the research of such interference issues and confirmation of Tenant's compliance with the terms of this Section 8.4 within thirty (30) days after the date Landlord submits to Tenant an invoice for such costs. This reimbursement obligation is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights or remedies Landlord may have in the event of a breach or default by Tenant under this Lease.

COVENANT AGAINST LIENS

Tenant has no authority or power to cause or permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, whether created by act of Tenant, operation of law or otherwise, to attach to or be placed upon the Project, Building or Premises, and any and all liens and encumbrances created by Tenant shall attach to Tenant's interest only. Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notice which it deems necessary for protection from such liens. Tenant shall not cause or permit any lien of mechanics or materialmen or others to be placed against the Project, the Building or the Premises with respect to work or services claimed to have been performed for or materials claimed to have been furnished to Tenant or the Premises, and, in case of any such lien attaching or notice of any lien, Tenant shall cause it to be immediately released and removed of record. If any such lien is not released and removed within ten (10) business days after notice of such lien is delivered by Landlord to Tenant, then Landlord may, at its option, take all action necessary to release and remove such lien, without any duty to investigate the validity thereof, and all sums, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by Landlord in connection with such lien shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease and shall be due and payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days after written demand. In the event that Tenant leases or finances the acquisition of equipment, furnishings or other personal property of a removable nature utilized by Tenant in the operation of Tenant's business, Tenant warrants that any Uniform Commercial Code financing statement shall, upon its face or by exhibit thereto, indicate that such financing statement is applicable only to removable personal property of Tenant located within the Premises. In no event shall the address of the Premises be furnished on a financing statement without qualifying language as to applicability of the lien only to removable personal property located in an identified suite leased by Tenant. Should any holder of a Uniform Commercial Code financing statement record or place of record a financing statement that

 

 

-25-

 

 


 

appears to constitute a lien against any interest of Landlord or against equipment that may be located other than within an identified suite leased by Tenant, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after filing such financing statement, cause (a) a copy of the Lender security agreement or other documents to which the financing statement pertains to be furnished to Landlord to facilitate Landlord's ability to demonstrate that the lien of such financing statement is not applicable to Landlord's interest and (b) Tenant's lender to amend such financing statement and any other documents of record to clarify that any liens imposed thereby are not applicable to any interest of Landlord in the Premises.

10.


INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
a.
Indemnification and Waiver. Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property and injury to persons, in, on, or about the Premises (unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Party or Landlord's breach of this Lease and not covered by insurance required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease) and agrees that Landlord and the Landlord Parties shall not be liable for, and are hereby released from any responsibility for, any damage to property or injury to persons or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage or injury is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant.

The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant assumes all risk of, damage to personal property or scientific research or intellectual property, including loss of records kept by Tenant within the Premises and damage or losses caused by fire, electrical malfunction, gas explosion or water damage of any type (including broken water lines, malfunctioning fire sprinkler systems, malfunctioning lab systems including any malfunction of the central plant systems, roof leaks or stoppages of lines). Tenant further waives any claim for injury to Tenant's business or loss of income relating to any such damage or destruction of personal property as described above.
b.
Tenant's Compliance with Landlord's Fire and Casualty Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, comply as to the Premises with all insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises.

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.
c.
Tenant's Insurance. Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain and maintain in full force and effect the following insurance policies throughout the Term:

Such insurance shall provide primary coverage without contribution from any other insurance or self-insurance carried by or for the benefit of the Insured Parties, and such insurance shall include blanket broad-form contractual liability coverage. The minimum limits of liability applying exclusively to the Premises shall be a combined single limit with respect to each occurrence in an amount of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00). Landlord shall retain the right to require Tenant to increase such coverage from time to time to that amount of insurance which in Landlord's reasonable judgment is then being customarily required by landlords for Comparable Buildings. There shall be no deductible or self-insurance without the prior written consent of Landlord;

The Insured Parties shall be included as loss payee(s) with respect to the Tenant-Insured Improvements;
iii.
Builder's Risk during the performance of any Alteration, until completion thereof, on an "All Risk" basis, including a permission to complete and occupy, and flood, including resulting water damage, endorsements, for full replacement cost covering the interest of Landlord and Tenant (and their respective contractors and subcontractors) in all work incorporated in the Building and all materials and equipment in or about the Premises, or evidence of such coverage under the property insurance policies set forth in Section 10.3.2 above.

v.
Business Interruption Insurance covering a minimum of one year of anticipated gross Rent;

Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall also obtain (at Tenant's sole cost and expense) environmental impairment liability insurance and environmental remediation liability insurance (in form and substance (including limits) acceptable to Landlord). If, at any time it reasonably appears to Landlord that Tenant is not maintaining sufficient insurance or other means of financial capacity to enable Tenant to fulfill its obligations to Landlord hereunder, whether or not then accrued, liquidated, conditional or contingent, Tenant shall procure and thereafter maintain in full force and effect such insurance or other form of financial assurance, with or from companies or persons and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord, as Landlord may from time to time reasonably request. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all such environmental liability insurance shall specifically insure the performance by Tenant of the indemnity provisions set forth in this Lease.
d.
Form of Policies.
i.
All insurance required to be carried by Tenant shall contain a provision that the Insured Parties receive thirty (30) days' prior written notice in advance of any termination or material change to the policies that would

 

 

-27-

 

 


 

affect the interest of any of the Insured Parties and shall be effected under valid and enforceable policies issued by reputable insurers authorized to do business in the State of California and rated in AM Best's Insurance Guide, or any successor thereto as having an AM Best's Rating of "A" or better and a Financial Size Category of at least "X" or better, or, if such ratings are not then in effect, the equivalent thereof or such other financial rating as Landlord may at any time consider appropriate.

Evidence of each renewal or replacement policies shall be delivered by Tenant to Landlord at least ten (10) days after the expiration of the policies.
iii.
By requiring insurance herein, Landlord does not represent that coverage and limits will necessarily be adequate to protect Tenant, and such coverage and limits shall not be deemed a limitation on or transfer of Tenant's liability under the indemnities granted to Landlord in this contract.
iv.
Tenant may satisfy the limits of liability required herein with a combination of umbrella and/or excess policies of insurance where applicable, provided that such policies comply with all of the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, with respect to scope of coverage and naming of the Insured Parties as additional insureds).
e.
Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive all rights of recovery against the other on account of loss and damage occasioned to the property of such waiving party to the extent that the waiving party is entitled to proceeds for such loss and damage under any property insurance policies carried or otherwise required to be carried by this Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing waiver shall not apply to the extent of Tenant's or Landlord's obligation to pay deductibles under any such policies and this Lease. By this waiver it is the intent of the parties that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable to any insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise) insuring the other party for any loss or damage insured against under any property insurance policies, even though such loss or damage might be occasioned by the negligence of such party, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees. The foregoing waiver by Tenant shall also inure to the benefit of Landlord's management agent for the Building.
f.
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 only to the extent generally required by other institutional landlords of Comparable Buildings.
g.
Landlord's Insurance. Landlord shall, as part of Operating Expenses, maintain liability and property insurance for the Project (as well as any other insurance desired by Landlord) in commercially reasonable amounts.
11.


DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
a.
Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or any common areas of the Building or Project serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, within one hundred twenty (120) days of the damage, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the estimated date of completion of the repair ("Estimated Repair Completion Date"). Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the base, shell, and core of the Premises and such common areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the base, shell, and core of the Premises and common areas 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 Project and/or the Building, or the lessor of a ground or underlying lease with respect to the Building, or any other

 

 

-28-

 

 


 

modifications to the common areas deemed desirable by Landlord, provided 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 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 of this Lease, and Landlord shall repair any damage to the tenant improvements and alterations installed in the Premises and shall return such tenant improvements and alterations to their original condition; provided that if the costs of such repair of such tenant improvements and Alterations by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord therefor from Tenant's insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the excess costs of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord's repair of the damage, unless Tenant elects to terminate this Lease in accordance with (and pursuant to) the provisions of this Article. In connection with such repairs and replacements of any such tenant improvements and Alterations, Tenant shall, prior to Landlord's commencement of such improvement work, submit to Landlord, for Landlord's review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors 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 if such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant's employees, contractors, licensees, or invitees, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Taxes and Utilities Costs to the extent Landlord is reimbursed from the proceeds of rental interruption insurance purchased by Landlord as part of Operating Expenses, during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof.
b.
Landlord's Option to Repair. Notwithstanding Section 11.1 above to the contrary, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises, the Building and/or any other portion of the Project and instead terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date Landlord becomes aware of such damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant ninety (90) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building 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) repairs cannot reasonably be substantially completed within two hundred forty (240) days after the date of such damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Project and/or the Building or ground or underlying lessor with respect to the Project and/or the Building shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground or underlying lease, as the case may be; or (iii) the damage is not fully covered, except for deductible amounts, by Landlord's insurance policies. In addition, if the Premises or the Building is destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent during the last year of the Lease Term, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 11, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant of the exercise of such option within thirty (30) days after such damage, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such notice. Upon any such termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 11.2, Tenant shall pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent, properly apportioned up to such date of termination, and both parties hereto shall thereafter be discharged of all further obligations under this Lease, except for those obligations which expressly survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. If Landlord elects to rebuild and/or restore the Premises, prior to Landlord commencing any restoration work, Tenant shall obtain from all applicable governmental authorities all licenses, permits, and approvals that may be required to permit Landlord to enter the Premises and/or to commence any restoration work therein, including with respect to Hazardous Materials (collectively referred to herein as "Restoration Clearances"). Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, if the restoration work to be performed by Landlord is delayed as a result of any failure by Tenant to obtain any required Restoration Clearances, then any abatement of Rent provided under this Lease in connection with a fire or other casualty shall be tolled and suspended for the period of any such delay, and shall accrue only from and after the date on which Tenant obtains such Restoration Clearances.
c.
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 any other portion of the Project, and any statute or regulation of the state in which the Project is located, 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 any other portion of the Project.

d.
Tenant's Termination Rights Following Damage. Tenant, at any time after the damage until such rebuilding is completed, may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord of such termination, in which event this Lease shall terminate as of the date of the giving of such notice, in the event (i) the Estimated Repair Completion Date is more than two hundred forty (240) days following the date of the casualty event, (ii) the damage occurs during the last nine (9) months of the Term, renders the Premises untenantable, Tenant does not actually use the Premises, and the damage cannot be repaired within thirty (30) days, or (iii) Landlord fails to restore the Premises (including reasonable means of access thereto) within a period which is two hundred forty (240) days from the date of the casualty (which two hundred forty (240) day period shall be deemed extended due to Force Majeure delays and/or delays caused by Tenant).
12.


CONDEMNATION
a.
Taking.
i.
Total Taking. If all or substantially all of the Real Property, the Building or the Premises shall be acquired or condemned for any public or quasi-public purpose (a "Taking"), this Lease shall terminate and the Term shall end as of the earlier of (i) the date possession is taken or (ii) the date of the vesting of title, and Rent shall be prorated and adjusted as of such date.
ii.
Partial Taking. Upon a Taking of only a part of the Real Property, the Building or the Premises then, except as hereinafter provided in this Article 12, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, provided that from and after the earlier of (i) the date possession is taken or (ii) the date of the vesting of title, Base Rent and Tenant's Share shall be modified to reflect the reduction of the Premises and/or the Building as a result of such Taking.
iii.
Landlord's Termination Right. Whether or not the Premises are affected, Landlord may, by giving no less than ninety (90) days' prior written notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease upon a Taking of all or a portion of no less than fifty percent (50%) of the rentable square footage of the Building or the Premises.
iv.
Tenant's Termination Right. If the part of the Real Property so Taken contains more than twenty percent (20%) of the total area of the Premises occupied by Tenant immediately prior to such Taking, or if, by reason of such Taking, Tenant no longer has reasonable means of access to the Premises, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given within ninety (90) days following the date upon which Tenant is given notice of such Taking. If Tenant so notifies Landlord, this Lease shall end and expire upon the 90th day following the giving of such notice, effective as of the earlier of (i) the date possession is taken or (ii) the date of the vesting of title. If a part of the Premises shall be so Taken and this Lease is not terminated in accordance with this Section 12.1, Landlord, without being required to spend more than it collects as an award, shall, subject to the provisions of any mortgage or Superior Lease, restore that part of the Premises not so Taken to a self-contained rental unit substantially equivalent (with respect to character, quality, appearance and services) to that which existed immediately prior to such Taking, excluding Tenant's Property and any Tenant-Insured Improvements.
v.
Apportionment of Rent. Upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of this Article 12, Rent shall be apportioned as of, and shall be paid or refunded up to and including, the date of such termination.
b.
Awards. Upon any Taking, Landlord shall receive the entire award for any such Taking, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for the value of any unexpired portion of the Term or Tenant's Alterations; and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right in and to such award. Nothing contained in this Article 12 shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from making a separate claim in any condemnation proceedings for the then value of any Tenant's Property or Tenant-Insured Improvements included in such Taking and for any moving expenses, provided any such award is in addition to, and does not result in a reduction of, the award made to Landlord.

 

 

-30-

 

 


 

c.
Temporary Taking. If all or any part of the Premises is Taken temporarily during the Term for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord and the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any way and Tenant shall continue to pay all Rent payable by Tenant without reduction or abatement and to perform all of its other obligations under this Lease, except to the extent prevented from doing so by the condemning authority, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive any award or payment from the condemning authority for such use, which shall be received, held and applied by Tenant as a trust fund for payment of the Rent falling due.
d.
Tenant's Waiver. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of The California Code of Civil Procedure.
13.


COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT

Landlord covenants that, so long as no Event of Default by Tenant has occurred hereunder, Tenant, on paying the Rent, charges for services and other payments herein reserved and on keeping, observing and performing all the other terms, covenants, conditions, and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, and agreements hereof without interference by any persons lawfully claiming by or through Landlord. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant express or implied.

14.


ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
a.
Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, 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 such foregoing transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises 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 shall desire 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, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, (v) a list of Hazardous Materials, certified by the proposed Transferee to be true and correct, that the proposed Transferee intends to use or store in the Premises, and (vi) such other information as Landlord may reasonably require. Any Transfer made without Landlord's prior written consent (or any Transfer purported to be made pursuant to Section 14.8 that actually constitutes a Void Transfer, as defined below) 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. Landlord shall respond to a Transfer Notice within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such Transfer Notice. Whether or not Landlord shall grant consent, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) to reimburse Landlord for its review and processing fees, and Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for any reasonable legal fees incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant's proposed Transfer, not to exceed Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00) per Transfer request. Any Transfer in contravention of this Article 14 shall be void and shall constitute an Event of Default. If, without Landlord's consent, this Lease is assigned, or any part of the Premises is sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant or this Lease is encumbered (by operation of law or otherwise), Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved. No such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions of this Article 14, an acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance of Tenant's covenants hereunder, and in all cases Tenant shall remain fully liable for its obligations under this Lease.

b.
Landlord's Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any proposed Transfer on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. In no event shall Landlord be deemed to be unreasonable for declining to consent to a Transfer to a transferee jeopardizing directly or indirectly the status of Landlord or any of Landlord's affiliates as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the "Revenue Code"). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, (w) no Transfer shall be consummated on any basis such that the rental or other amounts to be paid by the occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on the income or profits derived by the business activities of such occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee; (x) Tenant shall not furnish or render any services to an occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee with respect to whom transfer consideration is required to be paid, or manage or operate the Premises or any capital additions so transferred, with respect to which transfer consideration is being paid; (y) Tenant shall not consummate a Transfer with any person in which Landlord owns an interest, directly or indirectly (by applying constructive ownership rules set forth in Section 856(d)(5) of the Revenue Code); and (z) Tenant shall not consummate a Transfer with any person or in any manner that could cause any portion of the amounts received by Landlord pursuant to this Lease or any sublease, license or other arrangement for the right to use, occupy or possess any portion of the Premises to fail to qualify as "rents from real property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Revenue Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto or which could cause any other income of Landlord to fail to qualify as income described in Section 856(c)(2) of the Revenue Code (any Transfer described under clause (w) through (z), a "Void Transfer"). 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, without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent:
i.
The Transferee, in Landlord's commercially reasonable discretion, is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or Project;
ii.
The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;
iii.
The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof;
iv.
The Transfer will result in more than a reasonable and safe number of occupants per floor within the Subject Space;
v.
The Transferee is, in Landlord's commercially reasonable discretion, not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities involved under the Lease on the date consent is requested; Landlord may condition its consent to a Transfer by requiring Tenant and/or the Transferee provide a security deposit, letter of credit, guaranty or other credit enhancement acceptable to Landlord in Landlord's sole (but good faith) discretion;
vi.
The proposed Transfer would cause Landlord to be in violation of another lease or agreement to which Landlord is a party, or would give an occupant of the Project a right to cancel its lease;
vii.
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); or
viii.
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, (ii) is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Project at such time, or (iii) has negotiated with Landlord during the twelve (12)-month period immediately preceding the Transfer Notice.

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 below), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord's consent, 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 above, provided that

 

 

-32-

 

 


 

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 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).

c.
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 received by Tenant from such Transferee. "Transfer Premium" shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease 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 reasonable changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises in connection with the Transfer (but only to the extent approved by Landlord), and (ii) any reasonable brokerage commissions and legal fees in connection with the Transfer (collectively, the "Subleasing Costs"). Transfer Premium shall also include, but not be limited to, key money and bonus money 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.
d.
Landlord's Option as to Subject Space. 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 pertaining to (i) a sublease which, when aggregated with any other space subleased by Tenant, exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the then total rentable square footage of the Premises, (ii) a sublease for a term expiring in the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term or (iii) any assignment of this Lease to anyone other than an Affiliate Assignee, to recapture the Subject Space. Such recapture notice shall 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 of the term of the Transfer as set forth in the Transfer Notice. If this Lease is terminated with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the 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 the last paragraph of Section 14.2 above.
e.
Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer: (i) the terms and conditions 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; and (iv) 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 liability under this Lease. 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 Landlord's costs of such audit. Each sublease shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate; and Tenant and each Transferee shall be deemed to have agreed that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, Tenant has hereby assigned to Landlord, and Landlord may, at its option, accept such assignment of, all right, title and interest of Tenant as sublandlord under such sublease, together with all modifications, extensions and renewals thereof then in effect and such Transferee shall, at Landlord's option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not be (A) liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (B) subject to any counterclaim, offset or defense not expressly provided in such sublease or which theretofore accrued to such Transferee against Tenant, (C) bound by any previous modification of such sublease not consented to by Landlord or by any prepayment of more than one month's rent, (D) bound to return such Transferee's security deposit, if any, except to the extent Landlord shall receive actual possession of such deposit and such Transferee shall be entitled to the return of all or any portion of such deposit under the terms of its sublease, or (E) obligated to make any payment to or on behalf of such Transferee, or to perform any work in the sublet space or the Real Property, or in any way to prepare the subleased space for occupancy, beyond Landlord's obligations under this Lease. The provisions of this Section 14.5 shall be self-operative,

 

 

-33-

 

 


 

and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to this provision, provided that the Transferee shall execute and deliver to Landlord any instruments Landlord may reasonably request to evidence and confirm such subordination and attornment. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all Losses resulting from any claims that may be made against Landlord by the Transferee or anyone claiming under or through any Transferee or by any brokers or other persons or entities claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease, irrespective of whether Landlord shall give or decline to give its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, or if Landlord shall exercise any of its options under this Article 14.
f.
Additional Transfers. For purposes of this Lease, the term "Transfer" shall also include: (i) if Tenant is a partnership or limited liability company, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the partners or members, or transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the partnership or membership 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 an exchange or over the counter), (A) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, (B) the sale or other transfer of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period, or (C) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12)-month period.
g.
Lease Disaffirmance or Rejection. If at any time after an assignment by Tenant named herein, this Lease is not affirmed or is rejected in any bankruptcy proceeding or any similar proceeding, or upon a termination of this Lease due to any such proceeding, Tenant named herein, upon request of Landlord given after such disaffirmance, rejection or termination (and actual notice thereof to Landlord in the event of a disaffirmance or rejection or in the event of termination other than by act of Landlord), shall (a) pay to Landlord all Rent and other charges due and owing by the assignee to Landlord under this Lease to and including the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination, and (b) as "tenant," enter into a new lease of the Premises with Landlord for a term commencing on the effective date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination and ending on the Lease Expiration Date, at the same Rent and upon the then executory terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, except that (i) the rights of Tenant named herein under the new lease shall be subject to the possessory rights of the assignee under this Lease and the possessory rights of any persons or entities claiming through or under such assignee or by virtue of any statute or of any order of any court, (ii) such new lease shall require all defaults existing under this Lease to be cured by Tenant named herein with due diligence, and (iii) such new lease shall require Tenant named herein to pay all Rent which, had this Lease not been so disaffirmed, rejected or terminated, would have become due under the provisions of this Lease after the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination with respect to any period prior thereto. If an Event of Default (as defined below) by Tenant occurs in its obligations to enter into such new lease for a period of ten (10) days after Landlord's request, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies by reason of default, either at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against Tenant named herein as if it had entered into such new lease and such new lease had thereafter been terminated as of the commencement date thereof by reason of Tenant's default thereunder.
h.
Deemed Consent Transfers. If Tenant is a legal entity, the Transfer (by one or more Transfers), directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, of a majority of the stock or other beneficial ownership interest in Tenant (collectively, "Ownership Interests") or of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease; provided, however, that the provisions of this Article 14 shall not apply to any transfer of stock that is publicly traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange. For purposes of this Article the term "transfers" shall be deemed to include (x) the issuance of new Ownership Interests which results in a majority of the Ownership Interests in Tenant being held by a person or entity which does not hold a majority of the Ownership Interests in Tenant on the Effective Date (y) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of Tenant's net assets, and (z) except as provided below, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant in one or more transactions or the merger, consolidation or conversion of Tenant into or with another business entity. The provisions of Section 14.1 shall not apply to any Transfer or other transactions with a business entity into or with which Tenant is merged, consolidated or converted or to which all or substantially all of Tenant's Ownership Interests or assets are transferred (each, a "Permitted Transfer") so long as (i) such transfer was made for a legitimate independent business purpose and not for the purpose of transferring this Lease, (ii) the successor to Tenant has a market capitalization at least equal to or greater than that of Tenant as of the Effective Date and has a

 

 

-34-

 

 


 

tangible net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (and excluding goodwill, organization costs and other intangible assets) no less than $100,000,000.00, (iii) Tenant notifies Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such transfer or transferee as set forth above (unless such notice is prohibited by applicable Requirements or a valid non-disclosure agreement, in which event Tenant shall provide Landlord with such notice and documentation within a reasonable time after Tenant is lawfully permitted to make such disclosure, which may be after the Transfer), (iv) any such transfer shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, and the transferee shall assume, in a written document reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and delivered to Landlord upon or prior to the effective date of such transfer, all the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, (v) Tenant shall remain fully liable for all obligations to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, and (vi) such transfer does not cause Landlord to be in default under any existing lease at the Real Property, previously provided to Tenant. An assignee of Original Tenant's entire interest in this Lease pursuant to a Permitted Transfer is referred to herein as a "Permitted Transferee". Tenant may also, upon prior notice to Landlord (unless such notice is prohibited by applicable Requirements or a valid non-disclosure agreement, in which event Tenant shall provide Landlord with such notice and documentation within a reasonable time after Tenant is lawfully permitted to make such disclosure, which may be after the Transfer), assign this Lease or sublet all or part of the Premises to any business entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the original Tenant (a "Related Entity") for so long as such entity remains a Related Entity. Such sublease shall not be deemed to vest in any such Related Entity any right or interest in this Lease nor shall it relieve, release, impair or discharge any of Tenant's obligations hereunder. For the purposes hereof, "control" shall be deemed to mean ownership of not less than fifty percent (50%) of all of the Ownership Interests of such corporation or other business entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to assign this Lease or sublease all or any portion of the Premises without Landlord's consent pursuant to this Section 14.8 if Tenant is not the initial Tenant herein named or a person or entity who acquired Tenant's interest in this Lease in a transaction approved by Landlord, or if an Event of Default by Tenant exists under this Lease.
i.
Special Transferees. Tenant shall be permitted, upon prior written notice to Landlord (without otherwise triggering the provisions of this Article 14) to enter into any license/use agreement for Tenant's customers in connection with Tenant's vivarium or contract research organization ("CRO") business for a term no longer than twelve (12) months, and such licensees shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 14; provided that (a) Tenant shall give Landlord prior written notice of any such license/use agreement (including the names and addresses of the licensees/users) and promptly supply Landlord with evidence of the applicable certificates of insurance covering such licenses/user's use of the Premises, (b) Tenant shall not be permitted to separately demise any such space nor shall such licensees/users be permitted to maintain a separate reception area in the Premises, (c) Landlord shall have the right to reasonably approve the form of license agreement including Landlord's reasonable approval of such licensee's indemnity and insurance obligations under such license and (d) the space used by such licensees/users shall not exceed 5,000 rentable square feet in the aggregate.
j.
Public Company. For so long as Tenant's stock is traded on a nationally or internationally-recognized public exchange, no transfer, issuance, split, buy-back or any other transfer of Tenant's stock shall be deemed a "Transfer" hereunder.
15.


SURRENDER; OWNERSHIP AND REMOVAL OF PERSONAL PROPERTY
a.
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 a writing signed 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.

 

 

-35-

 

 


 

b.
Decommissioning.
i.
A "Surrender Plan" shall mean a reasonably detailed plan and narrative description, prepared by a qualified independent certified industrial hygienist engaged by Tenant and reasonably acceptable to Landlord (the "Hygienist"), which describes and outlines in reasonable detail the actions proposed to be undertaken by Tenant in connection with the yield-up and surrender of the Premises, as required to cause the Premises to be free of Hazardous Materials and otherwise released for a successor tenant's use and occupancy immediately after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, including such actions as may be necessary to cause the Premises to be decommissioned in accordance with applicable Requirements. Without limitation, the Surrender Plan shall address the cleaning and removal of all Hazardous Materials from all floors, walls, ceilings, counters, piping, supply lines, waste lines and plumbing in or serving the Premises, and all exhaust or other ductwork in or serving the Premises, if deemed necessary by the Hygienist in its professional judgment. The Surrender Plan shall be prepared such that, following its implementation, the Premises and all exhaust and other duct work in the Premises may be reused by a subsequent tenant or disposed of in conformance with all applicable Requirements without incurring material additional costs or expenses on account of any of Tenant's Hazardous Materials, or undertaking unusual or special procedures for demolition, disposal, investigation, assessment, cleaning or removal of Tenant's Hazardous Materials, or requiring notices to or filings with any governmental authorities in connection with such Hazardous Materials. The Surrender Plan (i) shall be accompanied by a current list of (A) all local, state and federal licenses, registrations, permits and approvals held by or on behalf of Tenant or any Tenant Party with respect to Hazardous Materials in, on, under, at or about the Premises, and (B) an updated schedule identifying all of Tenant's Hazardous Materials. The Surrender Plan shall be subject to the review and approval of Landlord and Landlord's environmental consultant in all respects, provided that Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its approval absent manifest error.
ii.
Tenant shall prepare and deliver the proposed Surrender Plan to Landlord for its review and approval not later than sixty (60) days prior to the Lease Expiration Date (or, if applicable, within ten (10) business days after any earlier termination of the Term of this Lease). If Landlord or Landlord's consultant shall request any reasonable or customary revisions to the proposed Surrender Plan, then Tenant shall revise the proposed Surrender Plan and resubmit the proposed Surrender Plan to Landlord for its approval.
iii.
On or before the Lease Expiration Date (or within thirty (30) days after any earlier termination of the Term of this Lease), Tenant shall implement the approved Surrender Plan using a contractor approved by Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). In connection therewith, Tenant shall, at its sole costs and expense, (i) clean and decommission all interior surfaces of the Premises (including floors, walls, ceilings, and counters), and all piping, supply lines, waste lines, acid neutralization systems and plumbing in and/or exclusively serving the Premises, and all exhausts or other ductwork located in and/or exclusively serving the Premises, in each case to the extent required to remove and remediate any of Tenant's Hazardous Materials or other chemical or biological materials used in the operation of the Premises, (ii) perform or cause to be performed all other actions described in the approved Surrender Plan, and (iii) deliver to Landlord a report prepared by the Hygienist, confirming that the Premises do not contain any Hazardous Materials and that all of the work contemplated by the approved Surrender Plan has been satisfactorily completed (the "Decommissioning Closure Report"). Without limitation, the Decommissioning Closure Report shall also include reasonable detail concerning the clean-up measures taken by Tenant, the clean-up locations, the tests performed by Tenant, and the analytic results. Landlord may elect, subject to reimbursement by Tenant, to cause Landlord's environmental consultant to inspect the Premises and to perform such additional testing and reviews as may be reasonably necessary to confirm that the Premises are, as of the expiration of the Term (or, if applicable, the date which is thirty (30) days after any earlier termination of this Lease), free of Tenant's Hazardous Materials and otherwise available for such use and occupancy as aforesaid. Landlord may elect to deliver the Surrender Plan, the Decommissioning Closure Report and any report by Landlord's environmental consultant with respect to the surrender of the Premises to third parties and such third parties shall be entitled to rely on the Decommissioning Closure Report.
iv.
If (i) Tenant fails to prepare timely an acceptable Surrender Plan, or (ii) Tenant fails to submit timely an acceptable Decommissioning Closure Report based on the Surrender Plan approved by Landlord, or (iii) Tenant fails to complete all of the actions contemplated by the approved Surrender Plan, then in any such event Landlord may elect to take any such actions as Landlord may deem reasonable or appropriate to assure that the Premises are surrendered free and clear of Tenant's Hazardous Materials and in the condition required hereunder (the "Landlord Remediation Actions"). Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for all commercially

 

 

-36-

 

 


 

reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such Landlord Remediation Actions. Without limitation, if Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the Lease Expiration Date or the earlier termination of the Term of this Lease, then the foregoing shall not limit, restrict or prohibit Landlord from exercising any and all available rights and remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity to regain possession of the Premises, including, but not limited to, prosecuting a summary process proceeding; provided, however, whether or not Tenant remains in the Premises after the Term (or the earlier termination of this Lease) or has vacated the Premises by the Lease Expiration Date (or the earlier termination of this Lease), for with respect to each month or portion thereof during the period of time commencing on the Lease Expiration Date (or earlier termination of this Lease) until the earlier of (i) the date on which Landlord elects to take any such Landlord’s Remediation Actions (which election shall be made within thirty (30) days following the Lease Expiration Date), and (ii) the date on which Tenant completes all of the actions contemplated by the Surrender Plan and delivers the Decommissioning Closure Report (in the form required hereunder) to Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee equal to (A) 125% of the monthly Base Rent payable under this Lease immediately prior to such termination for the first (1st) month of such period and 150% thereafter, plus (B) Tenant’s Tax Payment, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, and Tenant’s insurance payment attributable to such period of time. If Tenant vacates the Premises prior to completing all of the actions contemplated by the Surrender Plan and to delivering the Decommissioning Closure Report, then unless and until Landlord elects to take Landlord Remediation Actions, Landlord will provide Tenant with reasonable access to the Premises as required to implement the Surrender Plan.
16.


HOLDING OVER

If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term hereof, 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 Base Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate (a) for the first (1st) month of any holding over, equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%), and (b) thereafter, equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%), of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Landlord hereby 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 of Landlord to any successor tenant 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 for any holding over lasting longer than thirty (30) days.

17.


ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

Within ten (10) business days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be in the form as may be 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 Landlord's prospective mortgagees. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. Failure of Tenant to timely execute and deliver such estoppel certificate or other 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. Failure by Tenant to so deliver such estoppel certificate shall be a material default of the provisions of this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord, and shall indemnify Landlord from and against any loss, cost, damage or expense, incidental, consequential, or otherwise, including attorneys' fees, arising or accruing directly or indirectly, from any failure of Tenant to execute or deliver to Landlord any such estoppel certificate. Upon request from time to time, Tenant agrees to provide to Landlord, within ten (10) business days after Landlord's delivery of written request therefor, the most recent financial

 

 

-37-

 

 


 

statements for Tenant, dated no earlier than one (1) year prior to such written request, certified as accurate by Tenant or, if available, audited financial statements prepared by an independent certified public accountant with copies of the auditor's statement; provided, however, that such financial statement requirement shall not apply if and for so long as Tenant is a publicly traded company.

18.


SUBORDINATION
a.
Subordination and Attornment.
i.
This Lease is subject and subordinate to (i) all present and future ground leases or underlying lease of the Real Property or any part thereof heretofore or hereafter made by Landlord and all renewals, extensions, supplements, amendments, modifications, consolidations, and replacements thereof (collectively, the "Superior Leases") and (ii) to the lien of any mortgages or trust deeds, now or hereafter in force against the Project, 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 (collectively, "Mortgages"), unless the mortgagees, trustees and/or holders of such Mortgages (collectively, "Mortgagees"), or the lessors under such Superior Leases ("Superior Lessors"), require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto. With respect to any future Superior Leases and Mortgages, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Tenant with a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement from the Superior Lessors/Mortgagees of such Superior Leases and Mortgages and Landlord's failure to do so shall render this Lease superior to any such future Mortgage and/or Superior Lease. Tenant agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Landlord and any such Superior Lessors/Mortgagees in negotiating such non-disturbance agreement. Within sixty (60) days after the execution of this Lease, Landlord shall obtain a non-disturbance agreement from the holder of the existing deed of trust encumbering the Building in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.
ii.
Subject to Section 18.1.1 above, if a successor landlord (whether Mortgagee, its nominee or designee, any purchaser at a foreclosure sale, or such other person, or such person's successors or assigns, or designee, together with the successors and assigns of such successor landlord ("Successor Landlord") shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or the delivery of a new lease or deed, then Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Successor Landlord as Landlord under this Lease. Subject to Section 18.1.1 above, the provisions of this Section 18.1 are self‑operative and require no further instruments to give effect hereto; provided, however, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days of request, execute and delivery any commercially reasonable instrument that such Successor Landlord may reasonably request (i) evidencing such attornment, (ii) setting forth the terms and conditions of Tenant's tenancy, and (iii) containing such other terms and conditions as may be required by such Successor Landlord, provided such instrument does not increase the Rent, materially increase Tenant's other obligations or materially and adversely affect Tenant's rights under this Lease. Upon such attornment this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between such Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants set forth in this Lease, except that such Successor Landlord shall not be:
a.
liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting Landlord);
b.
subject to any abatement, defense or offsets which Tenant may have against any prior Landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting Landlord);
c.
obligated to cure any defaults of any prior landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord) which occurred, or to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be paid by any prior landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord), prior to the date of attornment, except defaults in the ongoing maintenance and repair obligations of Landlord under this Lease; provided that, in each case, Mortgagee (and Successor Landlord, as applicable) has received prior written notice and opportunity to cure such default;

 

 

-38-

 

 


 

d.
bound by any payment of rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than one month in advance of the due date under this Lease to any prior Landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting Landlord), unless actually received by such Successor Landlord;
e.
bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made prior to on the date on which such succession occurs;
f.
liable, responsible or accountable for any monies deposited with any prior Landlord (including security deposits), whether or not still held by such prior landlord, except to the extent such monies are actually received by Mortgagee or such Successor Landlord (as applicable) for its own account as the landlord under this Lease as security for the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease (which deposit shall, nonetheless, be held subject to the provisions of this Lease); or
g.
bound by any surrender, termination, amendment or modification of this Lease made without the consent of Mortgagee or such Successor Landlord.

Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days of request from Landlord, execute and deliver any commercially reasonable documents or instruments that may be reasonably required by any Mortgagee or lessor to confirm any subordination (or, if requested by any Mortgagee or Superior Lessor, priority).

b.
Tenant's Termination Right. As long as any Superior Lease or mortgage exists, Tenant shall not seek to terminate this Lease by reason of any act or omission of Landlord until (a) Tenant shall have given notice of such act or omission to all Superior Lessors and/or Mortgagees, and (b) a reasonable period of time shall have elapsed following the giving of notice of such default and the expiration of any applicable notice or grace periods (unless such act or omission is not capable of being remedied within a reasonable period of time), during which period such Superior Lessors and/or Mortgagees shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remedy such act or omission and thereafter diligently proceed to so remedy such act or omission. If any Superior Lessor or Mortgagee elects to remedy such act or omission of Landlord, Tenant shall not seek to terminate this Lease so long as such Superior Lessor or Mortgagee is proceeding with reasonable diligence to effect such remedy.
c.
Provisions. The provisions of this Article 18 shall (a) inure to the benefit of Landlord, any future owner of the Building or the Real Property, any Superior Lessor (or sublessor thereof), and any Mortgagee and (b) apply, notwithstanding as a matter of law, that this Lease may terminate upon the foreclosure of any such Superior Lease or mortgage.
19.

Upon the occurrence of any such default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, 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.
i.
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 for 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; plus
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(i) and (ii), above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate set forth in Section 4.6 above. As used in Section 19.2.1(iii) 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%).

ii.
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 Event of 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.
iii.
If Tenant defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord, without waiving such default, may perform such obligations at Tenant's expense: (a) immediately, and without notice, in the case of emergency or if the default (i) materially interferes with the use by any other tenant of the Building, (ii) materially interferes with the efficient operation of the Building, (iii) results in a violation of any Requirement, or (iv) results or will result in a cancellation of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord, and (b) in any other case if such default continues after ten (10) days from the date Landlord gives notice of Landlord's intention to perform the defaulted obligation. All costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such performance by it and all costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, incurred by Landlord in any action or proceeding (including any unlawful detainer proceeding) brought by Landlord or in which Landlord is a party to enforce any obligation of Tenant under this Lease and/or right of Landlord in or to the Premises or as a result of any default by Tenant under this Lease, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand, with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date incurred by Landlord. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, all costs and expenses which, pursuant to this Lease, are incurred by Landlord and payable to Landlord by Tenant, and all charges, amounts and sums payable to Landlord by Tenant for any property, material, labor, utility or other services which, pursuant to this Lease, are attributable directly to Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises or presence at the Building, or at the request and for the account of Tenant, are provided, furnished or rendered by Landlord, shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) business days after receipt of Landlord's invoice for such amount.
c.
Payment by Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) business days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefor: (i) sums equal to expenditures reasonably made and obligations incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord's performance or cure of any of Tenant's obligations pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.2.3 above; and (ii) sums equal to all expenditures reasonably made and obligations reasonably incurred by Landlord in collecting or attempting to collect the Rent or in enforcing or attempting to enforce any rights of Landlord under this Lease or pursuant to law, including, without limitation, all reasonable legal fees and other amounts so expended. Tenant's obligations under this Section 19.2.3 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.
d.
Sublessees 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. If Landlord elects 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.
e.
Waiver of Default. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach by Tenant of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other or later violation or breach by Tenant of the same or any other of the terms, provisions, and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Landlord in enforcement of one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an Event of Default by Tenant shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such Event of Default. The acceptance of any Rent hereunder by Landlord following the occurrence of any Event of Default, whether or not known to Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of any such Event of Default, except only an Event of Default in the payment of the Rent so accepted.

f.
Efforts to Relet. For the purposes of this Article 19, Tenant's right to possession shall not be deemed to have been terminated by efforts of Landlord to relet the Premises, by its acts of maintenance or preservation with respect to the Premises, or by appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord's interests hereunder. The foregoing enumeration is not exhaustive, but merely illustrative of acts which may be performed by Landlord without terminating Tenant's right to possession. If Tenant abandons the Premises or if Landlord elects to reenter or takes possession of the Premises pursuant to any legal proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by Requirements, and until Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, recover all Rent as it becomes due pursuant to Section 19.2.3 and/or relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account of and on behalf of Tenant, on any terms, for any term (whether or not longer than the Term), and at any rental as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem advisable, and Landlord may make any improvement to the Premises in connection therewith. Tenant hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord as its attorney-in-fact, which appointment shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, for purposes of reletting the Premises pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. If Landlord elects to so relet the Premises on behalf of Tenant, then rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied:
a.
First, to reimburse Landlord for the costs and expenses of such reletting (including costs and expenses of retaking or repossessing the Premises, removing persons and property therefrom, securing new tenants, and, if Landlord maintains and operates the Premises, the costs thereof) and necessary or reasonable improvement.
b.
Second, to the payment of any indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord other than Rent due and unpaid hereunder.
c.
Third, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder, and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of other or future obligations of Tenant to Landlord as the same may become due and payable.

Should the rentals received from such reletting, when applied in the manner and order indicated above, at any time be less than the total amount owing from Tenant pursuant to this Lease, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord, and if Tenant does not pay such deficiency within five (5) days of delivery of notice thereof to Tenant, Landlord may bring an action against Tenant for recovery of such deficiency or pursue its other remedies hereunder or under California Civil Code Section 1951.8, California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 et seq., or any similar, successor or related Requirements.

g.
Bankruptcy. In the event a debtor, trustee or debtor in possession under the Bankruptcy Code, or another person with similar rights, duties and powers under any other applicable Requirements, proposes to cure any Event of Default under this Lease or to assume or assign this Lease and is obliged to provide adequate assurance to Landlord that (a) an Event of Default shall be cured, (b) Landlord shall be compensated for its damages arising from any breach of this Lease and (c) future performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall occur, then such adequate assurances shall include any or all of the following, as designated by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion:
a.
Those acts specified in the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Requirements as included within the meaning of "adequate assurance," even if this Lease does not concern a shopping center or other facility described in such Requirements;
b.
A prompt cash payment to compensate Landlord for any monetary defaults or actual damages arising directly from a breach of this Lease;
c.
A cash deposit in an amount at least equal to the then-current amount of the Security Deposit; or
d.
The assumption or assignment of all of Tenant's interest and obligations under this Lease.
h.
Lease Disaffirmance or Rejection. If at any time after an assignment by Tenant named herein, this Lease is not affirmed or is rejected in any bankruptcy proceeding or any similar proceeding, or upon a termination of this

 

 

-42-

 

 


 

Lease due to any such proceeding, Tenant named herein, upon request of Landlord given after such disaffirmance, rejection or termination (and actual notice thereof to Landlord in the event of a disaffirmance or rejection or in the event of termination other than by act of Landlord), shall (a) pay to Landlord all Rent and other charges due and owing by the assignee to Landlord under this Lease to and including the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination, and (b) as "tenant," enter into a new lease of the Premises with Landlord for a term commencing on the effective date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination and ending on the Lease Expiration Date, at the same Rent and upon the then executory terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, except that (i) the rights of Tenant named herein under the new lease shall be subject to the possessory rights of the assignee under this Lease and the possessory rights of any persons or entities claiming through or under such assignee or by virtue of any statute or of any order of any court, (ii) such new lease shall require all defaults existing under this Lease to be cured by Tenant named herein with due diligence, and (iii) such new lease shall require Tenant named herein to pay all Rent which, had this Lease not been so disaffirmed, rejected or terminated, would have become due under the provisions of this Lease after the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination with respect to any period prior thereto. If Tenant named herein defaults in its obligations to enter into such new lease for a period of ten (10) days after Landlord's request, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies by reason of default, either at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against Tenant named herein as if it had entered into such new lease and such new lease had thereafter been terminated as of the commencement date thereof by reason of Tenant's default thereunder.
i.
General; Other Rights of Landlord.
i.
All rights, powers and remedies of Landlord hereunder and under any other agreement now or hereafter in force between Landlord and Tenant shall be cumulative and not alternative and shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Landlord at law or in equity. The exercise of any one or more of such rights or remedies shall not impair Landlord's right to exercise any other right or remedy including any and all rights and remedies of Landlord under California Civil Code Section 1951.8, California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 et seq., or any similar, successor or related Requirements.
ii.
If, after Tenant's abandonment of the Premises, Tenant leaves behind any of Tenant's Property, then Landlord shall store such Tenant's Property at a warehouse or any other location at the risk, expense and for the account of Tenant, and such property shall be released only upon Tenant's payment of such charges, together with moving and other costs relating thereto and all other sums due and owing under this Lease. If Tenant does not reclaim such Tenant's Property within the period permitted by law, Landlord may sell such Tenant's Property in accordance with law and apply the proceeds of such sale to any sums due and owing hereunder, or retain said Property, granting Tenant credit against sums due and owing hereunder for the reasonable value of such Property.
iii.
To the extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby waives all provisions of, and protections under, any Requirement to the extent same are inconsistent and in conflict with specific terms and provisions hereof.
iv.
If Tenant fails to pay any Additional Rent when due, Landlord, in addition to any other right or remedy, shall have the same rights and remedies as in the case of an Event of Default by Tenant in the payment of Base Rent. If Tenant is in arrears in the payment of Rent, Tenant waives Tenant's right, if any, to designate the items against which any payments made by Tenant are to be credited, and Landlord may apply any payments made by Tenant to any items Landlord sees fit, regardless of any request by Tenant. Landlord reserves the right, without liability to Tenant and without constituting any claim of constructive eviction, to suspend furnishing or rendering to Tenant any property, material, labor, utility or other service, whenever Landlord is obligated to furnish or render the same at the expense of Tenant, in the event that (but only for so long as) Tenant is in arrears in paying Landlord for such items for more than five (5) days after notice from Landlord to Tenant demanding the payment of such arrears.
20.


LETTER OF CREDIT
a.
Form of Letter of Credit; Letter of Credit Amount. Within five (5) business days following Tenant's execution and delivery of this Lease to Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, as protection for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease, an irrevocable and unconditional negotiable standby

 

 

-43-

 

 


 

letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit"), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H and containing the terms required herein, payable in the City of San Diego, California, running in favor of Landlord and issued by a solvent, nationally recognized bank with a long term rating of A or higher (by Standard & Poor's) or a long term rating of A2 or higher (by Moody's), under the supervision of the Superintendent of Banks of the State of California, or a national banking association, in the amount of Eight Hundred Fifteen Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty-Six Dollars ($815,856.00) (the "Letter of Credit Amount"); such Letter of Credit Amount is subject to reduction as provided in Section 20.6 below. Tenant’s failure to so deliver the Letter of Credit shall constitute an incurable Event of Default. The Letter of Credit shall (i) be "callable" at sight, irrevocable and unconditional, (ii) be maintained in effect, whether through renewal or extension, for the period from the Commencement Date and continuing until the date (the "LC Expiration Date") that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term (as the same may be extended), and Tenant shall deliver a new Letter of Credit or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord, (iii) be fully assignable by Landlord, its successors and assigns, (iv) permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings, and (v) be otherwise subject to the International Standby Practices 1998, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590. If Tenant exercises its option to extend the Term pursuant to Rider No.1 then, not later than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a new Letter of Credit or certificate of renewal or extension evidencing the LC Expiration Date as sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Renewal Term. The form and terms of the Letter of Credit and the bank issuing the same (the "Bank") shall be acceptable to Landlord, in Landlord's commercially reasonable discretion; provided, however, that Landlord hereby approves Silicon Valley Bank as the Bank. Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit if any of the following shall have occurred or be applicable: (1) such amount is due to Landlord following an Event of Default under the terms and conditions of this Lease, or (2) Tenant has filed a voluntary petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any state bankruptcy code, or (3) an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any state bankruptcy code, or (4) the Bank has notified Landlord that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed or extended through the LC Expiration Date or (5) the long term rating of the Bank has been downgraded to BBB or lower (by Standard & Poor's) or Baa2 or lower (by Moody's) and Tenant has failed to deliver a new Letter of Credit from a bank approved by Landlord with a long term rating of A or higher (by Standard & Poor's) or A2 or higher (by Moody's) and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth in this Article 20 within thirty (30) days following notice from Landlord. The Letter of Credit will be honored by the Bank regardless of whether Tenant disputes Landlord's right to draw upon the Letter of Credit.
b.
Transfer of Letter of Credit by Landlord. The Letter of Credit shall also provide that Landlord, its successors and assigns, may, at any time without first obtaining Tenant's consent thereto (but with reasonable written notice to Tenant, which may occur after such transfer), transfer (one or more times) all or any portion of its interest in and to the Letter of Credit to another party, person or entity, regardless of whether or not such transfer is separate from or as a part of the assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease. In the event of a transfer of Landlord's interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the Letter of Credit, in whole or in part, to the transferee and thereupon Landlord, without any further agreement between the parties, shall be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of said Letter of Credit to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the Letter of Credit by Landlord, Tenant shall, at no material cost to Tenant, execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such transfer, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying the Bank's transfer and processing fees in connection therewith.
c.
Maintenance of Letter of Credit by Tenant. If, as a result of any drawing by Landlord on the Letter of Credit, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be less than the Letter of Credit Amount, Tenant shall, within five (5) days thereafter, provide Landlord with additional letter(s) of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency, and any such additional letter(s) of credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this Article 20, and if Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 19 of this Lease, the same shall constitute an incurable Event of Default by Tenant. Tenant further covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the Letter of Credit or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Letter of Credit expires earlier than the LC Expiration Date, Landlord will accept a renewal thereof (such renewal letter of credit to be in effect and delivered to Landlord, as applicable, not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit), which shall be irrevocable and automatically renewable as above provided through the LC Expiration Date upon the same terms as the expiring Letter of Credit or such other

 

 

-44-

 

 


 

terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its commercially reasonable discretion. However, if the Letter of Credit is not timely renewed, or if Tenant fails to maintain the Letter of Credit in the amount and in accordance with the terms set forth in this Article 20, Landlord shall have the right to present the Letter of Credit to the Bank in accordance with the terms of this Article 20, and the proceeds of the Letter of Credit may be applied by Landlord against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due (following all applicable notice and cure periods) and/or to pay for all losses and damages that Landlord has suffered or that Landlord reasonably estimates that it will suffer as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease. Any unused proceeds shall constitute the property of Landlord and need not be segregated from Landlord's other assets, provided that Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the LC Expiration Date the amount of any proceeds of the Letter of Credit received by Landlord and not applied against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that was not paid when due or used to pay for any losses and/or damages suffered by Landlord (or reasonably estimated by Landlord that it will suffer) as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease; provided, however, that if prior to the LC Expiration Date a voluntary petition is filed by Tenant, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant by any of Tenant's creditors, under the Bankruptcy Code, then Landlord shall not be obligated to make such payment in the amount of the unused Letter of Credit proceeds until either all preference issues relating to payments under this Lease have been resolved in such bankruptcy or reorganization case or such bankruptcy or reorganization case has been dismissed.
d.
Landlord's Right to Draw Upon Letter of Credit. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance upon the ability of Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any breach or default on the part of Tenant under this Lease. If Tenant shall breach any provision of this Lease or otherwise be in default hereunder, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant, draw upon the Letter of Credit, in part or in whole, to cure any breach or default of Tenant and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain resulting from Tenant's breach or default. The use, application or retention of the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by any applicable law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit, and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, either prior to or following a "draw" by Landlord of any portion of the Letter of Credit, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord's right to draw upon the Letter of Credit. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional to justify the issuer of the Letter of Credit in failing to honor a drawing upon such Letter of Credit in a timely manner. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that (a) the Letter of Credit constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and the Bank, (b) Tenant is not a third party beneficiary of such contract, (c) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the Letter of Credit, and (d) in the event Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant's bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord's claim and/or rights to the Letter of Credit and/or the proceeds thereof by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.
e.
Letter of Credit Not a Security Deposit. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit or any renewal thereof or any proceeds thereof be (i) deemed to be or treated as a "security deposit" within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, (ii) subject to the terms of such Section 1950.7, or (iii) intended to serve as a "security deposit" within the meaning of such Section 1950.7. The parties hereto (A) recite that the Letter of Credit is not intended to serve as a security deposit and such Section 1950.7 and any and all other laws, rules and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context ("Security Deposit Laws") shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto and (B) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws.
f.
Reduction of Letter of Credit Amount. Provided that the "L-C Reduction Condition" (as defined below) is then satisfied, the Letter of Credit Amount shall automatically be reduced upon the "Reduction Date" (as defined below), by the "L-C Reduction Amount"; provided, however, the Letter of Credit Amount shall never be less than Four Hundred Seven Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty‑Eight Dollars ($407,928.00). The "Reduction Date" shall mean the last day of the fifty-fourth (54th) monthly anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date. The "L-C Reduction Amount" shall mean Four Hundred Seven Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty‑Eight Dollars ($407,928.00). Following the satisfaction of the L-C Reduction Condition, all references in this Lease to the Letter of Credit Amount shall be deemed to be references to an amount equal to Four Hundred Seven Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty‑Eight Dollars ($407,928.00). The reduction of the Letter of Credit Amount shall be effectuated by Tenant's delivery to

 

 

-45-

 

 


 

Landlord of a certificate of amendment to the existing Letter of Credit ("L-C Reduction Amendment"), conforming in all respects to the requirements of this Article 20, in the amount of the applicable reduced Letter of Credit Amount; provided that Tenant's failure to provide the L-C Reduction Amendment to Landlord shall not make any provisions of this Section inoperable nor waive any of Tenant's rights under this Section 20.6. If the L-C Reduction Condition is satisfied, then Landlord shall, at no cost to Landlord, reasonably cooperate with Tenant in order to effectuate such reduction. "L-C Reduction Condition" shall mean that Tenant has achieved a market capitalization equal to or greater than Two Billion Five Hundred Million Dollars ($2,500,000,000.00) and Tenant is not, as of the Reduction Date, then in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods. If the L-C Reduction Condition is not satisfied as of the Reduction Date, then such Letter of Credit Amount reduction may take place upon the subsequent satisfaction of the L-C Reduction Condition.
21.


COMPLIANCE WITH LAW

Tenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises 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. At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with all such governmental measures, other than (i) correcting violations existing as of the Lease Commencement Date, (ii) making of structural changes or changes to the Building's systems or Common Areas (collectively the "Excluded Changes"); provided, however, to the extent such Excluded Changes are required due to or triggered by Tenant's improvements or alterations to (other than the Tenant Improvements) and/or specific manner of use of the Premises following Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall perform such work, at Tenant's cost and expense. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize unreasonable interference with Tenant's use of the Premises in connection with any such work performed by Landlord. In addition, Tenant shall fully comply with all present or future programs intended to manage parking, transportation or traffic in and around the Project, and in connection therewith, Tenant shall take responsible action for the transportation planning and management of all employees located at the Premises by working directly with Landlord, any governmental transportation management organization or any other transportation-related committees or entities. 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.

22.


ENTRY BY LANDLORD

Landlord reserves the right at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice (of not less than one (1) business day, except in case of an emergency where no notice shall be required) to Tenant to enter the Premises to: (i) inspect them; (ii) show the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees, ground lessors or, during the last nine (9) months of the Term, to tenants; (iii) to post notices of nonresponsibility; or (iv) alter, improve or repair the Premises or the Building if necessary to comply with current building codes or other applicable Requirements, or for structural alterations, repairs or improvements to the Building, or as Landlord may otherwise reasonably desire or deem necessary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 22, Landlord may enter the Premises at any time, without notice to Tenant, in emergency situations and/or to perform janitorial or other services required of Landlord pursuant to this Lease. Any such entries shall be without the abatement of Rent and shall include the right to take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes. In exercising its rights under this Article, Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize unreasonable interference with Tenant's use of the Premises. 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 enter without notice and use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Any entry into the Premises 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.

23.


PARKING

Throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right to use, on a "first-come, first-serve" basis, in common with other tenants of the Building and free of parking charges, the number of reserved and unreserved parking spaces set forth in Section 12 of the Summary. Tenant's unreserved parking spaces shall be located in the Parking Facility servicing the Building as shall be designated by Landlord from time to time for unreserved parking for the tenants of the Building. Tenant's continued right to use the parking spaces is conditioned upon (i) Tenant abiding by (A) the Parking Rules and Regulations which are in effect on the Effective Date, as set forth in the attached Exhibit E and all reasonable modifications and additions thereto which are prescribed from time to time for the orderly operation and use of the Parking Facility by Landlord, and/or Landlord's Parking Operator (as defined below), and (B) all recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Building, and (ii) upon Tenant's cooperation in seeing that Tenant's employees and visitors also comply with the Parking Rules and Regulations (and all such reasonable modifications and additions thereto, as the case may be), any such other rules and regulations and covenants, conditions and restrictions. Tenant's right to use parking spaces shall not be permanently reduced below the parking allocation set forth in Section 12 of the Summary, Landlord (and/or any other owners of the Project) specifically reserve the right to change the size, configuration, design, layout, location and all other aspects of the Parking Facility (including without limitation, implementing paid visitor parking and a valet system), 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 temporarily close-off or restrict access to the Parking Facility, for repair work or alterations and improvements. Landlord may delegate its responsibilities hereunder to a parking operator (the "Parking Operator") in which case the Parking Operator shall have all the rights of control attributed hereby to Landlord. Any parking tax or other charges imposed by governmental authorities in connection with the use of such parking shall be paid directly by Tenant or the parking users, or, if directly imposed against Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all such taxes and/or charges within thirty (30) days after Landlord's written demand therefor. As of the date hereof, there are no parking taxes imposed by any governmental authorities pertaining to the Project. The parking rights provided to Tenant pursuant to this Article 23 are provided solely for use by Tenant's personnel and visitors (and the users described in Section 14.9 above) and such rights may not be transferred, assigned, subleased or otherwise alienated by Tenant without Landlord's prior approval, except in connection with an assignment of this Lease or sublease of the Premises made in accordance with Article 14 above. All visitor parking by Tenant's visitors shall be subject to availability, as reasonably determined by Landlord (and/or the Parking Operator, as the case may be), parking in such visitor parking areas as may be designated by Landlord (and/or the Parking Operator from time to time. Tenant shall also have the right, in common with other tenants of the Project, to use the five (5) visitor parking spaces in front of the Building for parking by Tenant's visitors to the Premises.

The Tenant's Signage shall set forth Tenant's name and/or logo as determined by Tenant in its sole discretion, but subject to Landlord's reasonable approval, and in no event shall the Tenant's Signage include an "Objectionable Name," as that term is defined below. The graphics, materials, color, design, lettering, lighting, size, illumination, specifications and exact location of the Tenant's Signage 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 specifications. In addition, the Tenant's Signage shall be subject to Tenant's receipt of all necessary governmental or quasi-governmental approvals and permits (collectively, "Governmental Approvals") from the City of San Diego and shall be subject to all Requirements and the CC&Rs (as the same may be modified).

vi.
Termination of Right to Tenant's Signage. Tenant's Signage rights granted to Tenant under this Section 24.8 are personal to the Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee and may not be exercised or used by or assigned to any other person or entity (but any name change to reflect such Permitted Transferee or a name change by Tenant shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval and shall be granted so long as such name is not, in Landlord's reasonable good faith discretion, an Objectionable Name). In addition, Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee shall no longer have any right to Tenant's Exterior Signage (and shall permanently lose the right to such signage) if at any time during the Lease Term the Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee does not lease and occupy at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Premises. In such event, Landlord shall have the right to remove Tenant's Signage upon no less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Tenant.

Should the 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 (except as set forth below) 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 five (5) business days' prior written notice, have the right to cause such work to be performed and to charge Tenant as Additional Rent for the actual, reasonable cost of such work. Subject to Tenant's agreement to comply with the terms of this Section 24.8 and Landlord's reasonable approval, Tenant shall be permitted to change and/or replace the Tenant's Signage periodically in Tenant's reasonable discretion. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or upon any earlier termination of Tenant's rights to the Tenant's Signage as set forth herein, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, cause the Tenant's Signage to be removed and shall repair any damage caused by such

removal.

Tenant expressly covenants and agrees not to enter into any sublease or assignment which provides for rental or other payment for such use, occupancy, or utilization based in whole or in part on the net income or profits derived by any person from the property leased, used, occupied, or utilized (other than an amount based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales), and that any such purported sublease or assignment shall be absolutely void and ineffective as a conveyance of any right or interest in the possession, use, occupancy, or utilization of any part of the Premises.

All amounts payable by Tenant to or on behalf of Landlord under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated Base Rent, Tenant's Tax Payment, Tenant's Operating Payment, Additional Rent or Rent, shall constitute rent for the purposes of Section 502(b)(6) of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
mm.
Landlord's Agent. Unless Landlord delivers notice to Tenant to the contrary, Landlord's Agent is authorized to act as Landlord's agent in connection with the performance of this Lease, and Tenant shall be entitled to rely upon correspondence received from Landlord's Agent. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord's Agent is acting solely as agent for Landlord in connection with the foregoing; and neither Landlord's Agent nor any of its direct or indirect partners, members, managers, officers, shareholders, directors, employees, principals, agents or representatives shall have any liability to Tenant in connection with the performance of this Lease, and Tenant waives any and all claims against any and all of such parties arising out of, or in any way connected with, this Lease, the Building or the Real Property.
nn.
Inability to Perform. This Lease and the obligation of Tenant to pay Rent and to perform all of the other covenants and agreements of Tenant hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or excused by any Unavoidable Delays. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to promptly notify Tenant of any Unavoidable Delay which prevents Landlord from fulfilling any of its obligations under this Lease. For purposes of this Section 24.40, "Unavoidable Delays" shall mean the following: Landlord's inability to fulfill or delay in fulfilling any of its obligations under this Lease expressly or impliedly to be performed by Landlord or Landlord's inability to make or delay in making any repairs, additions, alterations, improvements or decorations or Landlord's inability to supply or delay in supplying any equipment or fixtures, if Landlord's inability or delay is due to or arises by reason of strikes, labor troubles or by accident, or by any cause whatsoever beyond Landlord's reasonable control, including governmental preemption in connection with a national emergency, any Requirements or shortages, or unavailability of labor, fuel, steam, water, electricity or materials, or delays caused by Tenant or other tenants, mechanical breakdown, acts of God, acts of war, enemy action, terrorism, bio-terrorism, civil commotion, fire or other casualty.

Tenant's use of the roof of the Building shall be non‑exclusive. Landlord makes no representations or warranties whatsoever with respect to the condition of the roof of the Building, or the fitness or suitability of the roof of the Building for the installation, maintenance and operation of the Rooftop Equipment, including, without limitation, with respect to the quality and clarity of any receptions and transmissions to or from the Rooftop Equipment and the presence of any interference with such signals whether emanating from the Building or otherwise.

The Water Sensors shall be installed in any areas in the Premises where water is utilized (such as sinks, pipes, faucets, water heaters, coffee machines, ice machines, water dispensers and water fountains), and in locations that may be designated from time to time by Landlord (the "Sensor Areas"). In connection with any Alterations affecting or relating to any Sensor Areas, Landlord may require Water Sensors to be installed or updated in Landlord's commercially reasonable discretion. With respect to the installation of any such Water Sensors, Tenant shall obtain Landlord's prior written consent, use an experienced and qualified contractor reasonably approved by Landlord, and comply with all of the other provisions of Article 8 of this Lease. Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, pursuant to Article 7 of this Lease keep any Water Sensors located in the Premises (whether installed by Tenant or someone else) in good working order, repair and condition (subject to reasonable wear and tear) at all times during the Lease Term and comply with all of the other provisions of Article 7 of this Lease.

TENANT WORK LETTER

This Tenant Work Letter ("Tenant Work Letter") sets forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction of improvements for the Premises. All references in this Tenant Work Letter to the "Lease" shall mean the relevant portions of the Lease to which this Tenant Work Letter is attached as Exhibit B.

1.


BASE BUILDING WORK

Landlord has previously commenced construction of the base, shell and core (i) of the Premises and (ii) of the floor(s) of the Building on which the Premises are located (collectively, the "Base Building Work") in substantial accordance with the Base Building Work Matrix (attached to the Lease as Exhibit C), and Tenant shall, except as otherwise provided in the Lease, accept the Base Building Work in its current "As-Is" condition existing as of the date of the Lease and the Lease Commencement Date. Except for the Allowances set forth below, Landlord shall not be obligated to make or pay for any alterations or improvements to the Premises, the Building or the Project; provided, however, that Landlord, at Landlord's sole cost, shall pay for the cost of the initial test-fit plan for the Premises (but not any revisions hereto).

2.


TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
1.1
Tenant Improvement Allowance. Tenant shall be entitled to receive from Landlord a one-time tenant improvement allowance (the "Tenant Improvement Allowance") in the amount of up to, but not exceeding Two Hundred Twenty-Five Dollars ($225.00) per rentable square foot of the Premises (i.e., Ten Million Six Hundred Forty‑One Thousand Six Hundred Dollars ($10,641,600.00) based on 47,296 rentable square feet in the Premises), to help pay for the costs of the design, permitting and construction of Tenant's improvements which are, except as otherwise provided herein, permanently affixed to the Premises (collectively, the "Tenant Improvements"). Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, in the event there exists an Over-Allowance Amount (as defined in Section 4.3.1 below), Tenant shall have the option, exercisable upon written notice to Landlord prior to the date Tenant is obligated to pay such Over-Allowance Amount, to receive a one-time additional improvement allowance (the "Additional Allowance") in the amount not to exceed Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per rentable square foot of the Premises, (i.e., up to One Million One Hundred Eighty‑Two Thousand Four Hundred Dollars ($1,182,400.00) based on 47,296 rentable square feet in the Premises). In the event Tenant exercises such option and as consideration for Landlord providing such Additional Allowance to Tenant, the Base Rent payable by Tenant throughout the entire one hundred twenty-six (126) month initial Lease Term ("Amortization Period") shall be increased by an amount sufficient to fully amortize such Additional Allowance throughout said one hundred twenty-six (126) month period based upon equal monthly payments of principal and interest, with interest imputed on the outstanding principal balance at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (the "Amortization Rent"). At Landlord's election, such Amortization Rent shall be memorialized in an amendment to the Lease to be executed by Landlord and Tenant. In the event the Lease shall terminate due to a default by Tenant (and excluding as a result of a default by Landlord under the terms of the Lease or this Tenant Work Letter), Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the unamortized balance of the Additional Allowance which has not been paid by Tenant to Landlord as of the termination date pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, shall become immediately due and payable as unpaid rent which has been earned as of such termination date. In addition, in no event shall the Amortization Rent be abated for any reason whatsoever. The Allowance and the Additional Allowance may collectively be referred to herein as the "Allowances". In no event shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements for the cost of the Tenant Improvements pursuant to this Tenant Work Letter in a total amount which exceeds the Allowances. The Allowances may only be used for permanently affixed improvements to the Premises; provided, however, that an amount not to exceed One Million Sixty‑Four Thousand One Hundred Sixty Dollars ($1,064,160.00) of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (but not the Additional Allowance) may be utilized by Tenant for (i) the purchase and installation of furniture, fixtures and equipment for the Premises, (ii) networking and wiring to be installed at the Premises, (iii) direct moving expenses incurred by Tenant with respect to the initial move-in at the Premises, and (iv) Tenant Improvement design and

engineering services, architectural services, direct moving expenses and reasonable project management fees (collectively, the "Soft Costs"). Any unused amount of the Allowances existing as of the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Lease Commencement Date shall be the sole property of Landlord, and Landlord will have no obligation to disburse any amount of the Allowances after such date. Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any cash payment or credit against Rent or otherwise for any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance which is not used to pay for the Tenant Improvement Allowance Items (as defined below).
1.2
Disbursement of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Except as otherwise set forth in this Tenant Work Letter, the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord (each of which disbursement shall be made pursuant to Landlord's standard disbursement process), only for the following items and costs (collectively, the "Tenant Improvement Allowance Items"):
(i)
Payment of (i) the fees of the Architect and the Engineers (as such terms are defined below) and (ii) the fees incurred by, and the cost of documents and materials supplied by, Landlord and Landlord's consultants in connection with the preparation and review of the Construction Drawings (as defined below);
(ii)
The payment of plan check, permit and license fees relating to construction of the Tenant Improvements;
(iii)
The cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, contractors' fees and general conditions, testing and inspection costs, costs of utilities, trash removal, parking and hoists, and the costs of after-hours freight elevator usage;
(iv)
The cost of any changes in the Base, Shell and Core 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), such cost to include all direct architectural and/or engineering fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith;
(v)
The cost of any changes to the Construction Drawings or Tenant Improvements required by Code or any other Requirements;
(vi)
Sales and use taxes and Title 24 fees;
(vii)
The Landlord Supervision Fee (as defined below);
(viii)
all other costs to be expended by Landlord in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements;
(ix)
the Soft Costs, as defined above (but subject to the cap set forth above); and
(x)
the costs of Tenant's project manager (but not to exceed one percent (1%) of the Amount of the disbursed Tenant Improvement Allowance (and, if applicable, the disbursed Additional Allowance)).
1.3
Specifications for Building Standard Components. Landlord shall establish commercially reasonable specifications (the "Specifications") for the Building standard components to be used in the construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises. Landlord shall provide such Specifications to Tenant as soon as reasonably possible following the Effective Date. Unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord, the Tenant Improvements shall comply with the Specifications. Landlord may make changes to the Specifications from time to time.
3.


CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS
1.4
Selection of Architect/Construction Drawings. Landlord shall retain McFarlane Architects as its architect/space planner (the "Architect") to prepare the "Construction Drawings," as that term is defined in this

 

 

-2-

 

 


 

Section 3.1. Landlord shall retain Landlord's engineering consultants (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. The plans and drawings to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers hereunder shall be known collectively as the "Construction Drawings." The Construction Drawings shall be a logical evolution of the Test Fit. Notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or prepared by its Architect, Engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord's 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 Article 10 of the Lease shall specifically apply to the Construction Drawings.
1.5
Final Space Plan. Attached hereto as Schedule 1 is the final space plan for Tenant Improvements in the Premises (the "Final Space Plan"), which Final Space Plan includes a layout and designation of all offices, rooms and other partitioning, and significant equipment to be contained therein and such Final Space Plan is hereby approved by Landlord and Tenant.
1.6
Final Working Drawings. Based on the Final Space Plan, Landlord shall cause the Architect and the Engineers to complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Premises, and cause the Architect to compile a fully coordinated set of 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 (collectively, the "Final Working Drawings") and shall submit the same to Tenant for Tenant's approval. The Final Working Drawings shall incorporate modifications to the Final Space Plan as necessary to comply with the floor load and other structural and system requirements of the Building. To the extent that the finishes and specifications are not completely set forth in the Final Space Plan for any portion of the Tenant Improvements depicted thereon, the actual specifications and finish work shall be in accordance with the Specifications, unless Tenant directs otherwise (and Landlord approves the same). Tenant shall approve or reasonably disapprove the Final Working Drawings or any revisions thereto within ten (10) business days after Landlord delivers the Final Working Drawings or any revisions thereto to Tenant; provided, however, that Tenant may only disapprove the Final Working Drawings to the extent the same are not (subject to changes reasonably required by Landlord) in substantial conformance with the Final Space Plan ("Working Drawing Design Problem"). Tenant's failure to reasonably disapprove the Final Working Drawings or any revisions thereto by written notice to Landlord (which notice shall specify in detail the reasonable reasons for Tenant's disapproval pertaining to any Working Drawing Design Problem) within said ten (10) business day period shall be deemed to constitute Tenant's approval of the Final Working Drawings or such revisions.
1.7
Approved Working Drawings. The Final Working Drawings shall be approved or deemed approved by Tenant (the "Approved Working Drawings") prior to the commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall cause the Architect to submit the Approved Working Drawing to the applicable local governmental agency for all applicable building permits necessary to allow the Contractor (as defined below), to commence and fully complete the construction of the Tenant Improvements (the "Permits"). Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant (but at no cost to Landlord) to obtain any necessary Permits or other governmental approvals for the timely Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements. No changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Working Drawings may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord, provided that Landlord may withhold its consent, in its sole discretion, to any change in the Approved Working Drawings, if such change would directly or indirectly and substantially delay the Substantial Completion of the Premises for more than thirty (30) days provided that Tenant shall, in any event and as a condition to Landlord agreeing to any such change, modification or addition, agree in writing that any delay caused by such change, modification or addition shall be deemed a Tenant Delay.
1.8
Time Deadlines. The parties shall use its best efforts to cooperate with Architect, the Engineers, and the other party to complete all phases of the Construction Drawings and the permitting process and to receive the Permits, and with the Contractor, for approval of the GMAX contract (as defined below) as soon as possible after the execution of the Lease and, in this regard, to the extent Landlord considers such meeting(s) to be reasonably necessary, Tenant shall meet with Landlord on a weekly basis to discuss Tenant's progress in connection with the same.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
1.9
Contractor. A contractor, under the supervision of and selected by Landlord (as reasonably approved by Tenant), shall construct the Tenant Improvements (the "Contractor)."
1.10
Preliminary GMAX and GMAX Approval Date. After the Approved Working Drawings are signed by Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a preliminary GMAX contract ("Preliminary GMAX") in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings, which Preliminary GMAX shall include, as nearly as possible, the cost of all Tenant Improvement Allowance Items to be incurred by Tenant in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements. For a period of five (5) business days after Tenant's receipt of the Preliminary GMAX, Tenant shall have the right to value engineer the Preliminary GMAX. Then, following an additional five (5) business day period thereafter, Tenant shall approve (or reasonably disapprove and request such necessary edits requested for Tenant's approval) the Preliminary GMAX (as the same may be modified by Landlord's approved value engineering changes proposed by Tenant). The date by which Tenant must approve the Preliminary GMAX shall be known hereafter as the "GMAX Approval Date."
1.11
Construction of Tenant Improvements by Landlord's Contractor under the Supervision of Landlord.
(i)
Over-Allowance Amount. Following the GMAX Approval Date, Tenant shall pay for all costs of the design, permitting and construction of the Tenant Improvements in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (and, if applicable, the Additional Allowance) ("Over-Allowance Amount"), which payment shall be made to Landlord in cash in installments pari passu with Landlord's distribution of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (and, if applicable, the Additional Allowance) payment of an invoice by Landlord as Landlord incurs such expenses in an amount equal to a fraction of such expenses, the numerator of which is the Over-Allowance Amount (less the amount of the Additional Allowance Tenant elects to use) and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allowance and the Over-Allowance Amount. If, after the GMAX Approval Date, 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 shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within five (5) business days after Landlord's request therefor to the extent such additional costs increase any existing Over-Allowance Amount or result in an Over-Allowance Amount. Following completion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a final cost statement which shall indicate the final costs of the Tenant Improvement Allowance Items, and if such cost statement indicates that Tenant has underpaid or overpaid the Over-Allowance Amount, then within ten (10) business days after Tenant's receipt of such statement, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the amount of such underpayment or Landlord shall return to Tenant the amount of such overpayment, as the case may be.
(ii)
Landlord Supervision. After Landlord selects the Contractor at competitive market rates and with Tenant's reasonable approval, Landlord shall independently retain the Contractor to construct the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings and Landlord shall supervise the construction by the Contractor, and Tenant shall pay a construction supervision and management fee (the "Landlord Supervision Fee") to Landlord, as Landlord's sole compensation for its services and cooperation under this Work Letter, in an amount equal to the product of (i) two and one‑half percent (2.5%) and (ii) the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and, if applicable, the Additional Allowance; such Landlord Supervision Fee shall be deducted by Landlord from the Tenant Improvement Allowance and, if applicable, the Additional Allowance.
(iii)
Contractor's Warranties and Guarantees. Landlord hereby assigns to Tenant all warranties and guarantees by Contractor relating to the Tenant Improvements, which assignment shall be on a non‑exclusive basis such that the warranties and guarantees may be enforced by Landlord and/or Tenant, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord relating to, or arising out of the construction of, the Tenant Improvements.

For purposes of the Lease, including for purposes of determining the Lease Commencement Date (as set forth in Section 7.2 of the Summary), the Premises shall be "Ready for Occupancy" upon Substantial Completion of the Premises. For purposes of this Lease, "Substantial Completion" of the Premises shall occur upon (a) the completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises pursuant to the Approved Working Drawings, with the exception of any punchlist items that do not materially affect Tenant's ability to operate within the Premises and any tenant fixtures, work-stations, built-in furniture, or equipment to be installed by Tenant or under the supervision of Contractor, and (b) Tenant having the legal right to occupy the Premises.
1.13
Tenant Delays. If there shall be a delay or there are delays in the Substantial Completion of the Premises (as a direct, indirect, partial, or total result of any of the following (collectively, "Tenant Delays"):

(ii)
a breach by Tenant of the terms of this Tenant Work Letter or the Lease, which is not cured within the applicable notice and cure period;
(iii)
Tenant's request for changes in the Construction Drawings (provided that if Tenant requests such a change, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to promptly advise Tenant if it knows such change will result in a Tenant Delay);
(iv)
Tenant's requirement for materials, components, finishes or improvements which are not available in a reasonable time (based upon the anticipated date of the Lease Commencement Date) or which are different from, or not included in, the Specifications (provided that if Tenant requests such materials, finishes or improvements, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to promptly advise Tenant if it knows such items will result in a Tenant Delay);
(v)
changes to the Base, Shell and Core required by the Approved Working Drawings (provided that if Tenant requests such a change, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to promptly advise Tenant if it knows such change will result in a Tenant Delay);
(vi)
any changes in the Construction Drawings and/or the Tenant Improvements required by any Requirements if such changes are directly attributable to Tenant's use of the Premises or Tenant's specialized tenant improvement(s) (as determined by Landlord) (provided that if Tenant requests such a change, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to promptly advise Tenant if it knows such change will result in a Tenant Delay); or
(vii)
any other acts or omissions of Tenant, or its agents, or employees, if not cured within three (3) business days after receipt of written notice of same;

then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease and regardless of the actual date of the Substantial Completion of the Premises, the Lease Commencement Date (as set forth in Section 7.2 of the Summary) shall be deemed to be the date the Lease Commencement Date would have occurred if no Tenant Delay or Delays, as set forth above, had occurred.

Completion of the Premises for the purpose of Tenant installing furniture, IT infrastructure, equipment and/or fixtures (including Tenant's data and telephone equipment) in the Premises. To the extent the same is reasonably available, Landlord shall permit Tenant to use, at Landlord's cost, utilities, the Building's material hoists, freight and passenger elevators, and parking and related facilities of the Building to the extent the same are reasonably necessary for Tenant's entry into the Premise during the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays (other than Holidays) (for purposes of this Section, the "Construction Hours"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant, Tenant's Agents require any of the foregoing outside of the Construction Hours, Tenant shall pay the applicable out-of-pocket cost of such service, if any.

In connection with any such entry, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant's employees, agents, contractors, consultants, workmen, mechanics, suppliers and invitees shall fully cooperate, work in harmony and not, in any manner, interfere with Landlord or Landlord's Contractor, agents or representatives in performing work in the Project, the Building and the Premises, or interfere with the general operation of the Building and/or the Project. If at any time any such person representing Tenant shall not be cooperative or shall otherwise cause or threaten to cause any such disharmony or interference, including, without limitation, labor disharmony, and Tenant fails to immediately institute and maintain corrective actions as directed by Landlord, then Landlord may revoke Tenant's entry rights upon twenty-four (24) hours' prior written notice to Tenant. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any such entry into and occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof by Tenant or any person or entity working for or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed to be subject to all of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Lease, excluding only the covenant to pay Rent (until the occurrence of the Lease Commencement Date). Such requirements shall include, without limitation, that Tenant and any other parties allowed access to the Premises shall provide Landlord with evidence of insurance as required by Landlord. Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any of Tenant's work made in or about the Premises in connection with such entry or to any property placed therein prior to the Lease Commencement Date, the same being at Tenant's sole risk and liability. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any damage to any portion of the Premises, including the Tenant Improvement work, caused by Tenant or any of Tenant's employees, agents, contractors, consultants, workmen, mechanics, suppliers and invitees. If the performance of Tenant's work in connection with such entry causes extra costs to be incurred by Landlord or requires the use of any Building services, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for such extra costs and/or shall pay Landlord for such Building services at Landlord's standard rates then in effect. In addition, Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and indemnify, protect and defend Landlord against any loss or damage to the Building or Premises and against injury to any persons caused by Tenant's actions pursuant to this Section 6.1.

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), made and entered into as of the [_____] day of [_____________], 2018, by and among PACIFIC PLAZA OWNER, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Lessor”), [____________________________________________] (“Lessee”), and RBC REAL ESTATE CAPITAL CORP. (together with its successors, transferees and assigns, “RECC”; RECC and such other co-lenders as may exist from time to time, together with such other co-lenders’ successors and/or assigns, individually and/or collectively, as the context may require, “Lender”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, By Lease by and between Lessor and Lessee, or their respective predecessors in interest, dated as of [_______________, _______] [list any amendments, etc.] (the “Lease”), Lessee leased from Lessor space in the [____________________________] (the “Premises”), located upon the land situated in the City of San Diego, County of San Diego and State of California, more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof; and

WHEREAS, Lender, as a condition to making a loan to Lessor (the “Loan”) in the original principal amount of up to $[122,100,000.00] pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement dated as of [______], 2021 (the “Loan Agreement”), which is to be secured by, among other things, that certain Deed of Trust and Security Agreement, dated as of [____], 2021, executed by Lessor to and in favor of Lender (the “Security Instrument”), to be recorded against the Premises and other property as security for the Loan and constituting a first lien upon and encumbering the Premises and other property, has required the execution of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Lender, Lessor and Lessee have agreed to the following, with respect to their mutual rights and obligations pursuant to and under the Lease and the Security Instrument.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the making of the Loan by Lender to Lessor and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1. Lessee’s interest in the Lease, and all rights of Lessee thereunder, including but not limited to any option in favor of Lessee to renew the Lease and/or to purchase the Premises set forth in the Lease, shall be and hereby are declared to be subject and subordinate to the Security Instrument in all respects. The term “Security Instrument”, as used herein, shall include the Security Instrument and any and all amendments, supplements, modifications, renewals, extensions or replacements thereto, thereof or therefor.

 

 

-1-

 

 


 

2. Lender does hereby agree that the rights of Lessee under the Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and its possession of the Premises thereunder shall remain undisturbed by Lender during the term of the Lease, and during any renewal or extension thereof in accordance with its terms; provided Lessee shall have performed and shall continue to perform all of the covenants and conditions of the Lease to be performed by Lessee and shall not be in default thereunder.

3. After the receipt by Lessee of notice from Lender of completion of a foreclosure under the Security Instrument or that Lender has received a conveyance of the Premises in lieu of foreclosure, Lessee will attorn to and recognize Lender, its successors and assigns, or any purchaser at the foreclosure sale, as its substitute lessor under the Lease, and, having thus attorned, Lessee’s possession shall not thereafter be disturbed by Lender during the term of the Lease, and during any renewal or extension thereof in accordance with its terms; providing, and as long as, Lessee shall continue to pay the rental provided under the Lease in the manner provided therein and otherwise to observe and perform the covenants, terms and conditions of the Lease to be observed and performed by Lessee thereunder. The parties shall execute and deliver, upon request, appropriate agreements of attornment and recognition, but this Agreement shall be deemed to be self–operative, and no such separate agreements shall be required to effectuate the foregoing attornment and recognition. Any such attornment and recognition of a substitute lessor shall be upon all of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements as are set forth in the Lease, except as amended hereby.

4. In the event that Lender or any other person, party or entity becomes the owner of the Premises (“New Owner”) as a result of a foreclosure sale under the Security Instrument or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, Lessee shall have no claim against the New Owner resulting from, and the New Owner shall not be liable for, any act, omission and/or breach of the Lease by any prior or subsequent landlord under the Lease, including but not limited to Lessor; and the rights of the New Owner in and to the Premises and in, to and under the Lease shall not be subject to any right of set–off or defense which Lessee may have against any prior landlord under the Lease, including but not limited to Lessor. In addition, the New Owner shall not be (a) bound by any rent or additional rent that Lessee might have paid for more than one (1) month in advance to any prior lessor (including Lessor); (b) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made after the date of this Agreement without Lender’s prior written consent; (c) liable for the return of any security deposit to the extent not received by New Owner; or (d) obligated or liable with respect to the construction and completion of any improvements for Lessee’s use and occupancy. Upon any sale or other transfer by a New Owner of its interest in the Premises after acquiring title to the same, said New Owner shall thereupon automatically be released and discharged from all liability thereafter accruing under the Lease.

5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein set forth, in the event a New Owner becomes the owner of the Premises as a result of a foreclosure sale under the Security Instrument or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, the New Owner shall not be bound by any provision of the Lease relating to (a) the application of insurance or condemnation proceeds or the restoration of the Premises by the landlord in the event of a casualty loss thereto or a taking thereof, or (b) restrictions on the use of other properties owned by Lessor or the New Owner for purposes which compete with Lessee. The New Owner shall have the option either to use any such insurance or condemnation proceeds to restore the Premises in accordance with the Lease or with the provisions of the Security Instrument or to terminate the Lease and retain all such proceeds as its own.

6. Lessee shall not prepay any of the rents or income due from the Premises for more than one (l) month in advance, except with the written consent of Lender.

7. The Lease may be amended, altered or consensually terminated only with the written consent of Lender.

8. Lessee agrees not to terminate the Lease by reason of any default of Lessor without prior written notice thereof to Lender and the lapse thereafter of such time as under the Lease was granted to Lessor in which to remedy the default, and the lapse of thirty (30) days after the expiration of such time as Lessor was permitted to cure such default; provided, however, that with respect to any default of Lessor under the Lease which cannot be remedied by Lender within such time, if Lender commences to cure such default (including via commencement of a foreclosure action if possession of the Property is required to cure such default) within such time and thereafter diligently proceeds with such efforts, Lender shall have such time as is reasonably necessary to complete curing such default (including such time as is reasonably necessary to complete the foreclosure proceedings, if applicable).

9. After notice is given to Lessee, pursuant to the Security Instrument, that the rentals under the Lease should be paid to Lender, Lessee shall pay to Lender all rentals and other monies due and to become due to Lessor under the Lease, and Lessor hereby expressly authorizes Lessee to make such payments to Lender and hereby releases and discharges Lessee of and from any liability to Lessor on account of such payments.

10. In the event that Lender shall acquire title to the Premises, Lender shall have no obligation, nor incur any liability, beyond Lender’s then interest, if any, in the Premises, and Lessee shall look exclusively to such interest of Lender, if any, in the Premises for the payment and discharge or any obligations or liability imposed upon Lender hereunder, or under the Lease.

11. Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall permit the Lease to become subordinate to the lien of any deed of trust or security instrument, other than the Security Instrument.

12. Each party hereto shall be entitled to specific performance of the covenants, agreements and rights contained in this Agreement. It is the express intent of all parties hereto that all remedies provided at law or in equity, including the right to specific performance as herein provided, shall be cumulative.

13. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by all of the parties hereto.

14. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns, including any purchaser of the Premises at a foreclosure sale.

RIDER

EXTENSION OPTION RIDER

This Extension Option Rider ("Extension Rider") is attached to and made a part of the Lease by and between Landlord and Tenant. The agreements set forth in this Extension Rider shall have the same force and effect as if set forth in the Lease. To the extent the terms of this Extension Rider are inconsistent with the terms of the Lease, the terms of this Extension Rider shall control.

1.
Extension Option. Landlord hereby grants Tenant one (1) option (the "Extension Option") to extend the Lease Term for a period of five (5) years (the "Option Term"), which option shall be exercisable only by written Exercise Notice (as defined below) delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided below. Upon the proper exercise of the Extension Option, the Lease Term shall be extended for the Option Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Landlord's option, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under the Lease, at law or in equity, the Extension Option shall not be deemed properly exercised if as of the date of delivery of the Exercise Notice (as defined below) by Tenant if Tenant has previously been in default under the Lease beyond all applicable notice and cure periods. The Extension Option is personal to the Original Tenant and any Permitted Transferee and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or such Permitted Transferee (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of Tenant's interest (or Permitted Transferee's interest) in the Lease) if the Original Tenant or such Permitted Transferee occupies at least sixty percent (60%) of the entire Premises then leased by the Original Tenant or such Permitted Transferee hereunder as of the date of Tenant's delivery of the Exercise Notice.
68.
Option Rent. The annual Base Rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term (the "Option Rent") shall be equal to the greater of: (i) the annual Base Rent payable by Tenant during the last year of the initial Lease Term; or (ii) the Fair Market Rental Rate for Comparable Buildings. As used herein, the "Fair Market Rental Rate" shall mean the annual base rent at which tenants, as of the commencement of the applicable Option Term, will be leasing non-sublease space comparable in size, location (including views) and quality to the Premises for a comparable term as the Option Term, which comparable space is located in the Project and in Comparable Buildings (the "Market Area"), taking into consideration all free rent and other out-of-pocket concessions generally being granted at such time for such comparable space for the Option Term (including, without limitation, any tenant improvement allowance provided for such comparable space, with the amount of such tenant improvement allowance to be provided for the Premises during the Option Term to be determined after taking into account the age, quality and layout of the tenant improvements in the Premises as of the commencement of the Option Term with consideration given to the fact that the improvements existing in the Premises are specifically suitable to Tenant). All other terms and conditions of the Lease shall apply throughout the Option Term; however, Tenant shall, in no event, have the option to extend the Lease Term beyond the Option Term described in Section 1 above.
69.
Exercise of Option. The Extension Option shall be exercised by Tenant, if at all, only in the following manner: (i) Tenant shall deliver an irrevocable written notice ("Exercise Notice") to Landlord not more than eighteen (18) months nor less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term stating that Tenant is exercising the Extension Option; and (ii) Landlord, after receipt of Tenant's Exercise Notice, shall deliver notice (the "Option Rent Notice") to Tenant not less than ten (10) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term setting forth the Option Rent. Tenant shall have the right, within ten (10) business days after Tenant's receipt of the Option Rent Notice, to object to the same by providing written notice to Landlord on or before the expiration of such ten (10) business day period; failing which the Option Rent for the Extension Option shall be as provided in the Option Rent Notice. Tenant's failure to deliver the Exercise Notice on or before the delivery date therefore specified hereinabove shall be deemed to constitute Tenant's waiver of the Extension Option.
70.
Determination of Option Rent. If Tenant timely and appropriately objects in its Exercise Notice to Landlord to the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Option Term initially described in Landlord's Option Rent Notice, then Landlord and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the Fair Market Rental Rate. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within thirty (30) days following Tenant's delivery of such Exercise Notice (the "Outside Agreement Date"), then each party shall submit to the other party a separate written determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate within fifteen (15) business days after the Outside Agreement Date, and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4.1 through 4.6 below. The failure of Tenant or Landlord to submit a written determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate within such fifteen (15) business

day period shall conclusively be deemed to be such party's approval of the Fair Market Rental Rate submitted within such fifteen (15) business day period by the other party.
70.1
Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one (1) arbitrator who shall by profession be an independent real estate broker who shall have no ongoing relationship with Tenant or Landlord and who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of Comparable Buildings in the Market Area. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Fair Market Rental Rate is the closer to the actual Fair Market Rental Rate as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements with respect thereto set forth in Section 2 above. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date.
70.2
The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall, within thirty (30) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator, attempt to reach a decision as to which of Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Fair Market Rental Rate is closer to the actual Fair Market Rent Rate. If they are unable to agree within such time, then within the following fifteen (15) days they shall agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two (2) arbitrators.
70.3
Within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator, reach a decision as to which of Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Fair Market Rental Rate is closer to the actual Fair Market Rental Rate and shall select such closer determination as the Fair Market Rental Rate and notify Landlord and Tenant thereof.
70.4
If the two initial arbitrators agree as to which of Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Fair Market Rental Rate is closer to the actual Fair Market Rental Rate, the joint decision of the two initial arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant, and if they are not able to agree then the decision of the third arbitrator shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
70.5
If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within the time period specified in Section 4.1 hereinabove, the arbitrator appointed by one of them shall reach a decision, notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such arbitrator's decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
70.6
If the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, within the time period provided in Section 4.2 above, then the parties shall mutually select the third arbitrator. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the third arbitrator within the period described in Section 4.2 above, then either party may, upon at least five (5) days' prior written notice to the other party, request the Presiding Judge of the San Diego County Superior Court, acting in his private and nonjudicial capacity, to appoint the third arbitrator. Following the appointment of the third arbitrator, the panel of arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days thereafter reach a decision as to whether Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Fair Market Rental Rate shall be used and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. Landlord and Tenant shall each pay the costs of its own arbitrator and fifty percent (50%) of the cost of the third arbitrator.
70.7
In the event that the new monthly Base Rent is not established prior to end of the Term of this Lease, the monthly Base Rent immediately payable at the commencement of the Option Term shall be the monthly Base Rent payable in the immediately preceding month. Notwithstanding the above, once the fair market rental is determined in accordance with the items hereto, the parties shall settle any underpayment or overpayment on the next monthly Base Rent payment date falling not less than thirty (30) days after such determination.
