Alterations and Tenant’s Property Any alterations, additions, or improvements made to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant, including additional locks or bolts of any kind or nature upon any doors or windows in the Premises, but excluding installation, removal or realignment of furniture systems (other than removal of furniture systems owned or paid for by Landlord) not involving any modifications to the structure or connections (other than by ordinary plugs or jacks) to Building Systems (as defined in Section 13) (“Alterations”) shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion if any such Alteration affects the structure or Building Systems and shall not be otherwise unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant may construct nonstructural cosmetic Alterations in the Premises without Landlord’s prior approval if the aggregate cost of all such work in any 12 month period does not exceed $50,000 (a “Notice-Only Alteration”), provided Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of such intended Notice-Only Alteration, and such notice shall be accompanied by plans, specifications, work contracts and such other information concerning the nature and cost of the Notice-Only Alteration as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, which notice and accompanying materials shall be delivered to Landlord not less than 15 business days in advance of any proposed construction. If Landlord approves any Alterations, Landlord may impose such conditions on Tenant in connection with the commencement, performance and completion of such Alterations as Landlord may deem appropriate in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Any request for approval shall be in writing, delivered not less than 15 business days in advance of any proposed construction, and accompanied by plans, specifications, bid proposals, work contracts and such other information concerning the nature and cost of the alterations as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, including the identities and mailing addresses of all persons performing work or supplying materials. Landlord’s right to review plans and specifications and to monitor construction shall be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord shall have no duty to ensure that such plans and specifications or construction comply with applicable Legal Requirements. Tenant shall cause, at its sole cost and expense, all Alterations to comply with insurance requirements and with Legal Requirements and shall implement at its sole cost and expense any alteration or modification required by Legal Requirements as a result of any Alterations. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, on demand an amount equal to 5% of all charges incurred by Tenant or its contractors or agents in connection with any Alteration to cover Landlord’s overhead and expenses for plan review, coordination, scheduling and supervision. Before Tenant begins any Alteration, Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to applicable law. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for, and indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from, any expense incurred by Landlord by reason of faulty work done by Tenant or its contractors, delays caused by such work, or inadequate cleanup. Tenant shall furnish security or make other arrangements satisfactory to Landlord to assure payment for the completion of all Alterations work free and clear of liens, and shall provide (and cause each contractor or subcontractor to provide) certificates of insurance for workers’ compensation and other coverage in amounts and from an insurance company satisfactory to Landlord protecting Landlord against liability for personal injury or property damage during construction. Upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord: (i) sworn statements setting forth the names of all contractors and subcontractors who did the work and final lien waivers from all such contractors and subcontractors; and (ii) “as built” plans for any such Alteration. Except for Removable Installations (as hereinafter defined), all Installations (as hereinafter defined) shall be and shall remain the property of Landlord during the Term and following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, shall not be removed by Tenant at any time during the Term, and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may, at the time its approval of any such Installation is requested, or at the time it receives notice of a Notice-Only Alteration, notify Tenant that Landlord requires that Tenant remove such Installation upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, in which event Tenant shall remove such Installation in accordance with the immediately succeeding sentence. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall remove (i) all wires, cables or similar equipment which Tenant has installed in the Premises or in the risers or plenums of the Building, (ii) any Installations for which Landlord has given Tenant notice of removal in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and (iii) all of Tenant’s Property (as hereinafter defined), and Tenant shall restore and repair any damage caused by or occasioned as a result of such removal, including, without limitation, capping off all such connections behind the walls of the Premises and repairing any holes. During any restoration period beyond the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall pay Rent to Landlord as provided herein as if said space were otherwise occupied by Tenant. If Landlord is requested by Tenant or any lender, lessor or other person or entity claiming an interest in any of Tenant’s Property to waive any lien Landlord may have against any of Tenant’s Property, and Landlord consents to such waiver, then Landlord shall be entitled to be paid as administrative rent a fee of $1,000 per occurrence for its time and effort in preparing and negotiating such a waiver of lien.
Landlord’s Default and Tenant’s Remedies In the event Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall nevertheless not be in default under the terms of this Lease until such time as Tenant shall have first given Landlord written notice specifying the nature of such failure to perform its obligations, and then only after Landlord shall have had a reasonable period of time following its receipt of such notice within which to perform such obligations. In the event of Landlord’s default as above set forth, then, and only then, Tenant shall have the following remedies only:
A. Tenant may then proceed in equity or at law to compel Landlord to perform its obligations and/or to recover damages proximately caused by such failure to perform (except as and to the extent Tenant has waived its right to damages as provided in this Lease).
B. Tenant, at its option, may then cure any default of Landlord at Landlord’s cost. If, pursuant to this Subarticle, Tenant reasonably pays any sum to any third party or does any act that requires the payment of any sum to any third part at any time by reason of Landlord’s default, the sum paid by, Tenant shall be immediately due from Landlord to Tenant at the time Tenant supplies Landlord with an invoice therefor (provided such invoice sets forth and is accompanied by a written statement of Tenant setting forth in reasonable detail the amount paid, the party to whom it was paid, the date it was paid, and the reasons giving rise to such payment), together with interest at twelve percent per annum from the date of such invoice until Tenant is reimbursed by Landlord. Tenant may not offset such sums against any installment of rent due Landlord under the terms of this Lease.
ABATEMENT OF RENT; LESSEE'S REMEDIES (a) In the event of (i) Premises Partial Damage or (ii) Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee is not legally responsible, the Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if any, payable by Lessee hereunder for the period during which such damage or condition, its repair, remediation or restoration continues, shall be abated in proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is impaired, but not in excess of proceeds from insurance required to be carried under Paragraph 8.3(b). Except for abatement of Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if any, as aforesaid, all other obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for any damage suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair, remediation or restoration.
(b) If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises under the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence, in a substantial and meaningful way, the repair or restoration of the Premises within ninety (90) days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at any time prior to the commencement of such repair or restoration, give written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice of Lessee's election to terminate this Lease on a date not less than sixty (60) days following the giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice to Lessor and such Lenders and such repair or restoration is not commenced within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in said notice. If Lessor or a Lender commences the repair or restoration of the Premises within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. "Commence" as used in this Paragraph 9.6 shall mean either the unconditional authorization of the preparation of the required plans, or the beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever occurs first.
Tenant’s Remedies Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, if any default hereunder by Landlord is not cured within the applicable cure period provided in Paragraph 20(c) or any other applicable cure period provided in this Lease (including any Mortgagee’s additional cure period), Tenant’s exclusive remedies shall be (i) an action for specific performance, or (ii) an action for actual damages. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, the liability of Landlord to Tenant for any breach or default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease, or for any other matter related to this Lease or to the Premises or Project, shall be limited to Tenant’s actual direct, but not consequential, damages therefor, and any judgment against Landlord in connection therewith shall be recoverable only from the interest of Landlord in the Buildings. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any disturbance, loss of business, nuisance, injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss arising from Landlord’s entry and acts pursuant to Paragraph 18 or otherwise with respect to any act, omission or breach of Landlord. Without limiting the preceding sentence, in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any consequential damages, including, without limitation, any losses arising from any interruption of Tenant’s business, or for lost profits, or for charges or expenses which continue but would have been earned if the business had gone on without interruption, or for any other loss, claim, cost, expense or damage which would be covered by a standard policy of business interruption insurance. Landlord, or if Landlord is a partnership its partners whether general or limited, or if Landlord is a corporation its directors, officers or shareholders, or if Landlord is a limited liability company its members or managers, shall never be personally liable for any such judgment. Any lien obtained to enforce such judgment and any levy of execution thereon shall be subject and subordinate to any Mortgage (excluding any Mortgage which was created as part of an effort to defraud creditors, i.e., a fraudulent conveyance); provided, however that any such judgment and any such levy of execution thereon shall not be subject or subordinated to any Mortgage that is created or recorded in the official records of the county in which the Project is located after the date of the judgment giving rise to such lien. Landlord’s interest in the Buildings shall include any insurance proceeds received by Landlord which are not controlled by any Mortgagee or other lender. Tenant hereby waives the benefit of any Laws granting it (A) the right to perform Landlord’s obligations, or (B) the right to terminate this Lease or withhold Rent on account of any Landlord default, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code.
Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 15, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, business and trade fixtures, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal.

Lessee acknowledges and agrees that it has occupied and familiarized itself with the Premises and has had adequate opportunity to investigate and inspect the condition of the Premises, and enters into this Lease upon the basis of its own review, and is leasing the Premises in their “AS IS, WHERE IS” CONDITION WITH ALL FAULTS, WHETHER PREVIOUSLY EXISTING OR ARISING FROM OR PERTAINING TO ANY CONSTRUCTION, RENOVATION, RELOCATION OR IMPROVEMENT OF ANY PORTION OF THE PREMISES PERFORMED BY LESSOR OR OTHERS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BOTH LATENT AND PATENT DEFECTS.

Landlord Remedies Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Tenant Event of Default but subject to the provisions of Article XVII, Landlord may, subject to the terms of Section 16.3 below, do any one or more of the following: (x) terminate this Lease by giving Tenant no less than ten (10) days’ notice of such termination and the Term shall terminate and all rights and obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall cease, subject to any provisions that expressly survive the Expiration Date, (y) seek damages as provided in Section 16.3 hereof or (z) except to the extent expressly otherwise provided under this Lease, exercise any other right or remedy hereunder, at law or in equity available to Landlord as a result of any Tenant Event of Default.

Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate Landlord’s damages under this Lease.
(b) If this Lease shall terminate pursuant to Section 16.2(x) or if Landlord shall obtain a court order permitting reentry following the occurrence of a Tenant Event of Default that is continuing, then, in any such event, Landlord or Landlord’s agents and employees may immediately or at any time thereafter reenter the Leased Property to the extent permitted by law (including applicable Gaming Regulations), either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law, without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, and may repossess the same, and may remove any Person therefrom, to the end that Landlord may have, hold and enjoy the Leased Property. The words “enter,” “reenter,” “entry” and “reentry,” as used herein, are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.
Condition of Subleased Premises (a) Subtenant represents that it has made or caused to be made a thorough examination and inspection of the Subleased Premises and is familiar with the condition of every part thereof. Subtenant agrees that, except as expressly provided herein, (i) it enters into this Sublease without relying upon any representations, warranties or promises by Sublandlord, its agents, representatives, employees or any other person in respect of the Building or the Subleased Premises, (ii) no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Subtenant by implication or otherwise except as expressly set forth herein, (iii) Sublandlord shall deliver the Subleased Premises broom-clean and otherwise in the condition which Sublandlord received the Subleased Premises from Prime Lessor and Sublandlord shall have no obligation to do any work in order to make the Subleased Premises suitable and ready for occupancy and use by Subtenant, and (iv) the Subleased Premises are in satisfactory condition.

(b) Subtenant shall keep and maintain the Subleased Premises, the furniture, fixtures and equipment therein (including, without limitation, all laboratory-specific mechanical equipment) clean and in good order, repair and condition, except for reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty or condemnation. To the extent agreed to by Prime Lessor, Subtenant shall be entitled to the benefit of those obligations of Prime Lessor set forth in the Prime Lease as to Prime Lessor’s obligation to maintain Building Systems.
(c) Subtenant shall make no alteration, installation, removal, addition or improvement in or to the Subleased Premises or to any other portion of the Building without the prior written consent of each of Sublandlord and, if required pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease, Prime Lessor, and then, only in compliance fully with the terms of this Sublease and the Prime Lease. Sublandlord may withhold consent in its sole discretion to any alteration, installation, addition or improvement proposed by Subtenant. Sublandlord may require Subtenant to remove any and all alterations, installations, additions or improvements that Subtenant makes to the Subleased Premises upon the expiration or termination of the Term, and to restore the Subleased Premises to its condition prior to such alterations, installations, additions or improvements.
(d) During the Term of the Sublease, and subject to Prime Lessor’s consent, Subtenant may use 0.90 parking spaces in the Technology Square Garage per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Subleased Premises as allocated to Sublandlord pursuant to Section 10 of the Prime Lease.

SURRENDER OF PREMISES; REMOVAL OF PROPERTY Upon the Expiration Date or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order, condition and repair as when received or as hereafter may be improved by Landlord or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear and repairs which are Landlord's obligation excepted, and shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all personal property and debris, except for any items that Landlord may by written authorization allow to remain. Tenant shall repair all damage to the Premises resulting from the removal, which repair shall include the patching and filling of holes and repair of structural damage, provided that Landlord may instead elect to repair any structural damage at Tenant's expense. If Tenant shall fail to comply with the provisions of this Section, Landlord may effect the removal and/or make any repairs, and the cost to Landlord shall be additional rent payable by Tenant upon demand. If Tenant fails to remove Tenant's personal property from the Premises upon the expiration of the Term, Landlord may remove, store, dispose of and/or retain such personal property, at Landlord's option, in accordance with then applicable laws, all at the expense of Tenant. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an instrument in writing releasing and quitclaiming to Landlord all right, title and interest of Tenant in the Premises.
