AGREEMENT:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the conditions and the covenants hereinafter contained, and for other consideration hereinafter set forth, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows.
1. EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS LEASE TERMINATION AGREEMENT. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the full execution and delivery of this Agreement by Landlord and Tenant, this Agreement is expressly conditioned upon the full execution and delivery of a lease amendment (the “Alios Expansion Amendment”) by Landlord and Alios Biopharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Alios") (the terms and conditions of which Alios Expansion Amendment shall be acceptable to Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion) expanding Alios' existing lease with Landlord to include the 169 Building following the “Termination Date,” as defined below (the “Condition Precedent”). Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever to Tenant relating to or arising from Landlord’s inability or failure to cause all or any portion of the Condition Precedent to be satisfied. The Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect unless and until such time as the Condition Precedent is satisfied.
2. TERMINATION OF THE LEASE. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 1 above, and conditioned upon the performance by the parties of the provisions of this Agreement, the Lease shall terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to the 169 Building as of the date (the “Termination Date”), that is the later of (i) June 30, 2015, and (ii) the date that Tenant has completed the Decommissioning Process, as defined in Section 3, below. Effective as of the date of this Agreement, all rights of Tenant (if any) to renew or extend the Term (including without limitation, as set forth in Section 2.6 of the Original Lease), and any right or option to lease additional space, or right or option to purchase, are hereby terminated and are of no further force or effect.
3. SURRENDER OF PREMISES. Tenant hereby agrees to vacate the Premises and surrender and deliver exclusive possession of the Premises to Landlord on or before the Termination Date in accordance with the provisions of the Lease; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease: (i) Landlord hereby agrees that there are no alterations, additions or improvements (collectively “Alterations”) which Landlord will require Tenant to remove: (ii) Landlord acknowledges that Alios has requested that Tenant leave in place all telephone, computer, data and other cabling and wiring, and to leave in place and sell to Alios the personal property owned by Tenant and listed in the First Amendment to that certain Release Agreement between Tenant and Alios dated
1
May 21, 2015 (the “Sold FF&E”); and (iii) Landlord agrees that Tenant’s obligation to surrender the Premises with the HVAC in good working order shall be satisfied by paying to HCP the amount of $28,858.00 within forty-five (45) days of the date of this Agreement, which amount represents the cost of the work Landlord and Tenant agree Tenant is responsible for as reflected in the Western Allied bids attached hereto as Exhibit B. On or before the Termination Date, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises any and all furniture and equipment (other than the Sold FF&E), free-standing cabinet work, and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant and deliver the Premises to Landlord in a broom-clean condition, and with the Decommissioning Process complete. Tenant shall immediately repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and the Building resulting from any such removal. If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or repair any damage caused by such removal, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) do so and may charge the reasonable and actual cost thereof to Tenant. Tenant will be required to close all applicable permits and licenses (including without limitation, any radiation license) and complete the decommissioning process for the 169 Building as certified by a qualified third party industrial hygienist, and receive written closure from the applicable governmental agencies as required by applicable laws (the "Decommissioning Process").
4. ADJUSTMENT TO MONTHLY MINIMUM RENTAL AMOUNTS.
4.1 Aggregate Monthly Minimum Rental. Notwithstanding the termination of Tenant's lease of the 169 Building, the amount of Monthly Minimum Rental payable by Tenant under the Lease shall not be reduced, and, subject to the following terms of this Section 4, the amount of Monthly Minimum Rental that would have been payable for the 169 Building pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment, shall instead by payable for the 170 Building, and added to the amount of Monthly Minimum Rental otherwise payable for the 170 Building under the Original Lease (collectively, the "Aggregate Monthly Minimum Rental").
4.2 Reduction of Aggregate Monthly Minimum Rental. Upon the commencement of Alios' lease of the 169 Building pursuant to the Alios Expansion Amendment (the "Alios 169 Lease"), the Aggregate Monthly Minimum Rental payable by Tenant shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amounts payable by Alios to Landlord as "Minimum Rental" for the 169 Building under the Alios Expansion Amendment (the "Rental Adjustment(s)"). The Aggregate Monthly Minimum Rental, and the amounts of the Rental Adjustments, are set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto.
5. OPERATING EXPENSES. During the first two (2) months of the Alios 169 Lease, Alios will not be required to pay Operating Expenses with respect to the 169 Building (the "Operating Expense Abatement"). During such period, the Rental Adjustment shall be reduced by the amount of Operating Expenses that would otherwise have been paid by Alios, but for such Operating Expense Abatement.
6. REPRESENTATIONS OF TENANT. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that (a) Tenant has not heretofore assigned all or any portion of its interest in the Lease, and there are no subleases currently in effect with respect to the 169 Building; (b) no other person, firm or entity has any right, title or interest in the Lease with respect to the 169 Building; (c) Tenant has the full right, legal power and actual authority to enter into this Agreement and to terminate the Lease with respect to the 169 Building without the consent of any person, firm or entity; and (d) Tenant has the full right, legal power and actual authority to bind Tenant to the terms and conditions hereof. Tenant further represents and warrants to Landlord that as of the date hereof there are no, and as of the Termination Date there shall not be any, mechanic’s liens or other liens encumbering all or any portion of the 169 Building, by virtue of any act or omission on the part of Tenant, its predecessors, contractors, agents, employees, successors or assigns. Notwithstanding the termination of the Lease and the release of liability provided for herein, the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 5 shall survive the Termination Date and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any inaccuracy or any breach thereof.
7. CONTINUING LIABILITY. Notwithstanding the termination of the Lease and the release of liability provided for herein, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Tenant shall remain liable, with respect to the period of its tenancy prior to the Termination Date, for the performance of all of its obligations under the Lease (including, without limitation, Tenant’s payment of reconciliation of Operating Expenses) and Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies with respect to such obligations as set forth in the Lease. In the event that Tenant retains
2
possession of the 169 Building or any part thereof after the Termination Date, then the provisions of Section 2.5 of the Original Lease shall apply.
8. CONNECTOR BRIDGE. The "Connector Bridge", as defined in Section 1(b) of the First Amendment shall be deemed to be a part of the 170 Building, and shall continue to be a part of the Premises leased by Tenant under the Lease, as amended hereby. Landlord or Alios shall have the right to demise and secure the 169 Building so that there is no access from the Connector Bridge to the 169 Building.
9. SECURITY DEPOSIT. The Security Deposit held by Landlord with respect to the 169 Building, in the amount of $131,810.00, will be returned to Tenant (or, at Tenant's option, credited against other amounts owing from Tenant to Landlord under the Lease) promptly following the Termination Date.
10. ATTORNEYS’ FEES. Should any dispute arise between the parties hereto or their legal representatives, successors and assigns concerning any provision of this Agreement or the rights and duties of any person in relation thereto, the party prevailing in such dispute shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief that may be granted, to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal costs in connection with such dispute.
11. DISPOSITION OF PERSONAL PROPERTY. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall continue to have access to the 169 Building through and including the Termination Date in order to remove all of its personal property, equipment and signage other than the Sold FF&E (“Personal Property”) from the Premises. In the event that Tenant does not remove its Personal Property from the 169 Building prior to such Termination Date, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall be entitled, but shall not be obligated, to dispose of said Personal Property in any manner it deems fit, and charge the cost of such disposal to Tenant. Tenant hereby waives any rights it may have to notice under California Civil Code sections 1980 et seq. with respect to such Personal Property.
12. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed and construed under the laws of the State of California.
13. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but such counterparts, when taken together, shall constitute one agreement.
14. BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns.
15. TIME OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and the provisions contained herein.
16. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to execute such further documents or instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the intention of this Agreement.
17. VOLUNTARY AGREEMENT. The parties have read this Agreement and mutual release as contained herein, and on the advice of counsel they have freely and voluntarily entered into this Agreement.
