LEASED PREMISES, TERM AND POSSESSION

2.1 Demise Of Leased Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord for the Lease Term and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Lease, that certain interior space described in Article 1 as the Leased Premises. Tenant’s lease of the Leased Premises, together with the appurtenant right to use the Outside Areas as described in Paragraph 2.2 below, shall be conditioned upon and be subject to the continuing compliance by Tenant with (i) all the terms and conditions of this Lease, (ii) all Laws governing the use of the Leased Premises and the Property, (iii) all Private Restrictions, easements and other matters now of public record respecting the use of the Leased Premises and Property, and (iv) all reasonable rules and regulations from time to time established by Landlord.

2.2 Right To Use Outside Areas. As an appurtenant right to Tenant’s right to the use and occupancy of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall have the right to use the Outside Areas in conjunction with its use of the Leased Premises solely for the purposes for which they were designated and intended and for no other purposes whatsoever. In that regard, Tenant shall not be entitled to use the Outside Areas for storage.

2.3 Lease Commencement Date And Lease Term. Subject to Paragraph 2.4 below, the term of this Lease shall begin, and the Lease Commencement Date shall be deemed to have occurred, on the Intended Commencement Date, as set forth in Article 1 (the “Lease Commencement Date”). The term of this Lease shall in all events end

 

2.


on the Lease Expiration Date (as set forth in Article 1). The Lease Term shall be that period of time commencing on the Lease Commencement Date and ending on the Lease Expiration Date (the “Lease Term”). In addition, Tenant shall have a one-time option to terminate this Lease effective at the end of the third year of the Lease Term, in the event that Tenant desires to lease additional space, and Landlord is unable to provide such additional space which is acceptable to Tenant (the “Termination Option”). The Termination Option may be exercised by written notice to Landlord given not less than six (6) months prior to the third anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date and payment by Tenant of a lease termination fee in the amount of $45,000 at the time of such written notice.

2.4 Delivery of Possession. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant possession of the Leased Premises immediately upon execution of this Lease. Tenant shall be entitled to occupy the Leased Premises prior to the Lease Commencement Date, and such occupancy shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease; provided, however, that Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent shall not commence until the Lease Commencement Date. Such early possession shall not advance the Lease Expiration Date.

2.5 Acceptance Of Possession; Tenant Improvement Allowance. Landlord agrees that as of the Lease Commencement Date, the following are or will be in good working order; the roof (structure and membrane), foundation, structural elements, truck doors and all existing plumbing, lighting, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems and other systems serving the Leased Premises. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Tenant may use the Tenant Improvement Allowance to make improvements and installations to the Leased Premises, and Landlord shall pay the Tenant Improvement Allowance to Tenant upon presentation by Tenant of (i) invoices evidencing the work done or installations made, (ii) proof of payment by Tenant of such invoices, and (iii) appropriate lien waivers from contractors. In the event that Tenant fails to use the Tenant Improvement Allowance within thirty days of the Lease Commencement Date. Landlord shall credit the Tenant Improvement Allowance (or so much of it as may then remain) against Base Monthly Rent or other sums due from Tenant hereunder. All improvements made pursuant to this paragraph 2.5 shall be subject to the provisions of paragraph 6.1.

2.6 Surrender Of Possession. Immediately prior to the expiration or upon the sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s signs from the exterior of the Building and shall remove all of Tenant’s equipment, trade fixtures, furniture, supplies, wall decorations and other personal property from within the Leased Premises, the Building and the Outside Areas, and shall vacate and surrender the Leased Premises, the Building, the Outside Areas and the Property to Landlord in the same condition, broom clean, as existed at the Lease Commencement Date, renevable wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall repair all damage to the Leased Premises, the exterior of the Building and the Outside Areas caused by Tenant’s removal of Tenant’s property. Additionally, to the extent that Landlord shall have notified Tenant in writing at the time the improvements were completed that it desired to have certain improvements removed at the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease, Tenant shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease, remove any such improvements constructed or installed by Tenant and repair all damage caused by such removal.

ARTICLE 3.

RENT, SECURITY DEPOSIT AND CREDIT ENHANCEMENTS

3.1 Base Monthly Rent. Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Lease Term. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without prior demand therefor, in advance on the first day of each calendar month, the amount set forth as “Base Monthly Rent” in Article 1 (the “Base Monthly Rent”).

3.2 Additional Rent. Commencing on the possession of the Leased Premises is delivered to Tenant, and continuing throughout the Lease Term, in addition to the Base Monthly Rent and to the extent not required by Landlord to be contracted for and paid directly by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent (the “Additional Rent”) the following amounts:

(a) An amount equal to all Property Operating Expenses (as defined in Article 13) incurred by Landlord. Landlord may estimate the amount of Property Operating Expenses for any lease year, and Tenant shall be required to pay 1/12 of such estimated amount on the first day of each calendar month of such lease year. Within 60 days of the end of such lease year, Landlord shall determine the actual amount of such lease year’s Property Operating Expenses. If the actual amount of such Property Operating Expenses exceeds the amount paid by Tenant in such lease year, Tenant shall pay Landlord the shortage with the next installment of Base Monthly Rent. If the actual amount of such Property Operating Expenses is less than the amount paid by Tenant in such lease year, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against future Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent or to a refund of any such excess upon termination of this Lease. Tenant shall have the right to reasonably audit Landlord’s calculation of Property Operating Expenses.

(b) Any other charges or reimbursements due Landlord from Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

3.3 If any installment of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent is not received by Landlord from Tenant within ten calendar days after the same becomes due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to the amount equal to 6% of the Base Monthly Rent or the Additional Rent not so paid. In addition, Tenant Shall also pay Landlord Interest on any Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent not paid when due, at an interest rate equal to the maximum rate allowed by law, from the date such amount is due, until such amount is paid in full.

 

3.


3.4 Payment Of Rent. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Lease, all rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States, without any abatement, reduction or offset for any reason whatsoever, to Landlord at such address as Landlord may designate from time to time. Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and all Additional Rent shall be appropriately prorated at the commencement and expiration of the Lease Term. The failure by Tenant to pay any Additional Rent as required pursuant to this Lease when due shall be treated the same as a failure by Tenant to pay Base Monthly Rent when due, and Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against Tenant as Landlord would have had Tenant failed to pay the Base Monthly Rent when due.

3.5 Prepaid Rent. Tenant shall, upon execution of this Lease, pay to Landlord the amount set forth in Article 1 as “First Month’s Prepaid Rent” as prepayment of rent for credit against the first payment of Base Monthly Rent due hereunder.

3.6 Security Deposit. Tenant has deposited with Landlord the amount set forth in Article 1 as the “Security Deposit” and provided the letter of credit described in Paragraph 3.7 below, as security for the performance by Tenant of the terms of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, and not as prepayment of rent. Landlord may apply such portion or portions of the Security Deposit as are reasonably necessary for the following purposes: (i) to remedy any default by Tenant in the payment of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent or a late charge or interest on defaulted rent, or any other monetary payment obligation of Tenant under this Lease; (ii) to remedy any other default of Tenant. In the event the Security Deposit or any portion thereof is so used, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, promptly upon demand, an amount in cash sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full original sum. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. If Landlord transfers the Building or the Property during the Lease Term, Landlord may pay the Security Deposit to any subsequent owner in conformity with the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and/or any successor statute, in which event the transferring landlord shall be released from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit.

3.7 Credit Enhancement. Tenant shall provide Landlord with an irrevocable standby letter of credit in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in the initial amount of $100,000 as additional security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease. The face amount of such letter of credit may be reduced annually by $25,000 on each anniversary of the Commencement Date, provided only that Tenant is not then in material default of its obligations under this Lease.

ARTICLE 4.

Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s signs, repair any damage caused thereby, and restore the surface upon which the sign was affixed to its original condition, all to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, upon the termination of this Lease.

4.4 Compliance With Laws And Private Restrictions. Tenant shall abide by and shall promptly observe and comply with, at its sole cost and expense, all Laws and Private Restrictions respecting the use and occupancy of the Leased Premises, the Building, the Outside Areas or the Property including, without limitation, all Laws governing the use and/or disposal of hazardous materials; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be responsible for contamination of the Leased Premises by hazardous materials existing as of the date the Lease Premises are delivered to Tenant unless caused by Tenant, nor shall Tenant be required to make any capital repairs or improvements to the Leased Premises unless such capital repairs or replacements are required by a governmental authority as the direct result of Tenant’s particular use of the Premises. Tenant’s obligation hereunder shall survive the termination of this Lease.

4.5 Compliance With Insurance Requirements.

Landlord shall also have the right to enter the Leased Premises at any time, in case of emergency. Any entry into the Leased Premises obtained by Landlord in accordance with this paragraph shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Leased Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive of Tenant from the Leased Premises or any portion thereof.

4.7 Use Of Outside Areas. Tenant, in its use of the Outside Areas, shall at all times keep the Outside Areas in a safe condition free and clear of all debris, trash (except within existing enclosed trash areas), inoperable vehicles and the like.

If Tenant shall fail to perform the required maintenance or fail to make repairs required of it pursuant to this paragraph within a reasonable period of time following notice from Landlord to do so, then Landlord may, at its election and without waiving any other remedy it may otherwise have under this Lease or at law, perform such maintenance or make such repairs and charge to Tenant, as Additional Rent, the costs so incurred by Landlord for same.

(b) Landlord’s Obligation. Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost (and not to be included as a Property Operating Expense or Property Maintenance Cost) shall, at all times during the Lease Term, maintain in good condition and repair the foundation, roof structure, load-bearing walls, exterior windows, exterior doors and all structural elements of the Building. Landlord shall also be responsible for the cost to remediate any code violations of the existing Building or improvements, before Tenant makes its Tenant Improvements.

5.


ARTICLE 6.

ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS

6.1 By Tenant. Tenant shall not make any alterations to or modifications of the Leased Premises or construct any improvements within the Leased Premises until Landlord shall have first approved, in writing, the plans and specifications therefor, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. All such modifications, alterations or improvements, once so approved, shall be made, constructed or installed by Tenant at Tenant’s expense (including all permit fees and governmental charges related thereto), using a licensed contractor in substantial compliance with the Landlord-approved plans and specifications therefor. All work undertaken by Tenant shall be done in accordance with all Laws and in a good and workmanlike manner using new materials of good quality. Tenant shall not commence the making of any such modifications or alterations or the construction of any such improvements until (i) all required governmental approvals and permits shall have been obtained, (ii) all requirements regarding insurance imposed by this Lease have been satisfied and (iii) Tenant shall have given Landlord at lease five business days prior written notice of its intention to commence such work so that Landlord may post and file notices of non-responsibility. In no event shall Tenant make any modification, alterations or improvements whatsoever to the Outside Areas or the exterior or structural components of the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, without Landlord’s prior written consent, shall be permitted to make non- structural alterations to the Building, provided that: (a) such alterations do not exceed $10,000 individually or $100,000 in the aggregate, (b) Tenant shall timely provide Landlord with notice of the proposed improvements including such details as Landlord may reasonably request regarding the proposed improvements and their estimated cost and (c) Tenant shall, upon Landlord’s request, remove the alteration at the termination of the Lease and restore the Leased Premises to their condition existing prior to such alteration. Tenant agrees to provide landlord with copies of plans for all material improvements or alterations to the Leased Premises, regardless of whether or not Landlord’s consent to such improvements or alterations is required hereunder.

6.2 Ownership Of Improvements. All modifications, alterations and improvements made or added to the Leased Premises by Tenant (other than Tenant’s inventory, equipment, movable furniture, wall decorations and trade fixtures) shall be deemed real property and a part of the Leased Premises, but shall remain the property of Tenant during the Lease Term. At the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, all such modifications, alterations and improvements (other than Tenant’s inventory, equipment, movable furniture, wall decorations and trade fixtures), shall automatically become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered to Landlord as part of the Leased Premises as required pursuant to Article 2.

6.3 Liens. Tenant shall keep the Property and every part thereof free from any lien, and shall pay when due all bills arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors relating to the Property. If any such claim of lien is recorded against Tenant’s interest in this Lease, the Property or any part thereof, Tenant shall bond against, discharge or otherwise cause such lien to be entirely released within thirty (30) days after the same has been recorded. Tenant further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any hypothecation or security device now or hereafter placed upon the Leased Premises, relative to any liens or claim of liens recorded against Tenant’s interest in this Lease, the Property or any part thereof, arising out of or relating to any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors.

ARTICLE 7.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING BY TENANT

7.1 By Tenant. Tenant shall not sublet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof or assign its interest in this Lease, whether voluntarily or by operation of Law, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Any attempted subletting or assignment without Landlord’s prior written consent, at Landlord’s election, shall constitute a default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person or entity other than Tenant, or the acceptance of rent by Landlord from Tenant with knowledge of a violation of the provisions of this paragraph, shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Article or this Lease or to be a consent to any subletting by Tenant or any assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease. Any sublease of the entire Building shall terminate Tenant’s Extension Option pursuant to Article 15.

7.2 Merger Or Reorganization. If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, the sale or other transfer of the capital stock of Tenant or the sale of substantially all the assets of Tenant, shall not be deemed an assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transfer of greater than 50% of the ownership interest of Tenant shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease, except in the case where such transfer is in connection with a public offering of Tenant’s securities or the merger or consolidation of Tenant in a transaction where the surviving entity or its affiliates are a company of greater net worth than Tenant.
