For purposes hereof, Taxes for any year shall be Taxes which are assessed for any period of such year falling within the Term, whether or not such Taxes are billed and payable in a subsequent calendar year. There shall be included in Taxes for any year falling within the Tern the amount of all fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) paid by Landlord during such year in seeking or obtaining any refund or reduction of Taxes.

Taxes for the tax year in which the Term shall commence or expire shall be apportioned according to the number of days during which each xxxxx shall be in possession during such tax year. Tenant and Landlord acknowledge that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June, 1978 election and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such purposes as fire protection, street, sidewalk, road, utility construction and maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services which may formerly have been provided without charge to property owners or occupants.

PREMISES, TERM, FAILURE TO GIVE POSSESSION, AND PARKING
2.1 LEASE OF PREMISES; EXISTING LEASE; RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
(a) Existing Lease. Tenant currently leases the Premises (other than Suite 120) pursuant to the terms of that certain Laboratory Lease dated August 20, 2014 (the “Original Lease”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Laboratory Lease dated October 29, 2015 (the “Existing Lease First Amendment”), that certain Second Amendment to Laboratory Lease dated April 29, 2016, that certain Third Amendment to Laboratory Lease dated April 3, 2018, that certain Fourth Amendment to Laboratory Lease dated September 6, 2018, that certain Fifth Amendment to Laboratory Lease dated February I, 2019, and that certain Sixth Amendment to Laboratory Lease dated July 8, 2019 (collectively, the “Existing Lease”), the term of which lease expires as of December 31, 2025. It is the intent of the parties that this Lease shall amend, restate, supersede and replace in its entirety the Existing Lease. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the Premises for the Term and upon the terms, covenants and conditions provided in this Lease.
(b) Right of First Offer.
(1) Tenant shall have a one-time right of first offer (the “Right of First Offer”) with respect to Suite 130 on the first floor of the Building, consisting of approximately 10,062 square feet of Rentable Area, and Suite 200 on the second floors of the Building, consisting of approximately 7,140 square feet of Rentable Area (both as shown on Exhibit A-I to this Lease), following the date of this Lease (the “Offering Spaces”). If Tenant leases either of the Offering Spaces pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.1(b), then Tenant shall have a one-time right of first offer on the other Offering Space pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.1(b).
- 13 -
(2) Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Offering Spaces are currently leased to existing tenants. Prior to the date Landlord offers either of the Offering Spaces for lease to a potential third-xxxxx tenant or other potential occupant (other than to any of such existing tenants), Landlord shall advise Tenant (the “Advice”) of the terms under which Landlord is prepared to lease such Offering Space to Tenant. Tenant may lease such Offering Space in its entirety only, under such terms, by delivering written notice of exercise to Landlord (the “Notice of Exercise”) within five (5) days after the date of the Advice, except that Tenant shall have no such Right of First Offer, and Tenant may not exercise its right under this Section 2.1(b), if: (i) at the time that Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice, a Default on the part of Tenant exists under this Lease or there then exists any event or condition which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute such a Default; (ii) any portion of the Premises is sublet at the time Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; (iii) Tenant is not occupying the entire Premises (other than due to a casualty or condemnation event); (iv) the Offering Space is not intended for the exclusive use of Tenant; or (v) Tenant cannot demonstrate to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that Tenant’s creditworthiness is sufficient in light of the increased Rent obligations associated with the Offering Space. Tenant shall deliver evidence of Tenant’s creditworthiness concurrently with delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
(3) The term with respect to the Offering Space (the “Offering Space Term”) shall be as stated in the Advice and upon commencement of the Offering Space Term, the Offering Space shall be considered a part of the Premises, provided that all of the terms stated in the Advice shall govern Tenant’s leasing of the Offering Space and only to the extent that they do not conflict with the Advice, the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply to the Offering Space. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Offering Space to Tenant on the commencement of the Offering Space Term as stated in the Advice, Landlord shall not be liable for any claims, damages or liabilities by reason thereof, but the Offering Space Term shall commence upon the date possession of the Offering Space is delivered by Landlord to Tenant. The Offering Space shall be accepted by Tenant in “AS IS” condition, and Landlord’s only obligation with respect to the condition of the Offering Space as of the commencement of the Offering Space Term shall be to deliver such Offering Space in such condition.
(4) Tenant shall pay Monthly Base Rent for the Offering Space at the rate or rates set forth in the Advice, which rate or rates shall reflect the Fair Market Rent for the Offering Space as determined by Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable judgment. For purposes of this Right of First Offer provision (and notwithstanding how “Fair Market Rent” is determined under Section 2.2(b) below), “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the annual rental rate per square foot for space comparable to the Offering Space in the Building and laboratory buildings comparable to the Building in Berkeley and Emeryville, California under leases and renewal and expansion amendments being entered into at or about the time that the Fair Market Rent is being determined, giving appropriate consideration to tenant concessions, brokerage commissions, tenant improvement allowances, and the method of allocating operating expenses and taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, space leased under any of the following circumstances shall not be considered to be comparable for purposes hereof: (i) the lease term is for less than the lease term of the Offering Space, (ii) the space is encumbered by the option rights of another tenant, or (iii) the space has a lack of windows and/or an awkward or unusual shape or configuration. The foregoing is not intended to be an exclusive list of space that will not be considered to be comparable. The determination of Fair Market Rent shall also take into consideration any reasonably anticipated changes in the Fair Market Rent from the time such Fair Market Rent is being determined and the time such Fair Market Rent will become effective under the Lease.
(5) The Right of First Offer shall terminate on the earliest to occur of: (i) Tenant’s failure to exercise its Right of First Offer within the 5-day period provided in Section 2.1(b)(2) above as to either Offering Space; (ii) the date Landlord would have provided Tenant with an Advice if Tenant had not been in violation of one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 2.1(b)(2); or (iii) the expiration or earlier termination of the Term (as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 2.2(b) below).
(6) If Tenant exercises its Right of First Offer as to any of the Offering Spaces, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the “Offering Amendment”) adding the subject Offering Space to the Premises on the terms set forth in the Advice and reflecting the changes in the Monthly Base Rent, Rentable Square Footage of the Premises and other appropriate terms. A copy of the Offering Amendment shall be sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after Landlord’s receipt of the Notice of Exercise executed by Tenant, and Tenant shall execute and return the Offering Amendment to Landlord within fifteen (15) days thereafter, but an otherwise valid exercise of the Right of First Offer shall be fully effective whether or not the Offering Amendment is prepared and/or executed.
(7) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s Right of First Offer is subject and subordinate to the expansion rights (whether such rights are designated as a right of first offer, right of first refusal, expansion option or otherwise) of any tenant or other occupant of the Building existing as of the date of this Lease.
- 14 -
(8) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s rights under this Section 2.1(b) are personal to the original Tenant executing this Lease or a Permitted Transferee to whom this Lease is assigned (“Named Tenant”) and shall not be assigned or assignable, in whole or in part, to any third-party other than a Permitted Transferee. Any assignment or other transfer of such rights by Named Tenant shall be void and of no force or effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no sublessee of the Premises shall be permitted to exercise the rights granted to Tenant under this Section 2.l(b).
2.2 TERM
(a) Initial Tenn. The initial term of this Lease (“Initial Tern”) shall be as set forth in Section 1.1(5).
(b) Option to Extend. Provided that (i) Tenant has not sublet any portion of the Premises other than Suite 120, and (ii) no monetary Default or material non-monetary Default by Tenant exists at the time of exercise or at the time of commencement of the Extended Term, the Term of this Lease shall be subject to one (I) extension option for an additional period of sixty (60) months (the “Extension Option”), commencing as of the expiration of the Initial Tern, and expiring on the date that is sixty (60) full calendar months thereafter (the “Extended Term”), exercisable as follows:
(1) The Extension Option shall be upon the same material terms and conditions contained in this Lease, except that (i) the initial Monthly Base Rent for the Premises shall be equal to the fair market rent for the Premises determined in the manner set forth in Section 2.2(b)(3) below, (ii) on each anniversary of the commencement date of the Extended Term, the Monthly Base Rent shall increase three and one-half percent (3\/,%), on a cumulative basis, and (iii) Tenant shall accept the Premises in an “as is” condition without any obligation of Landlord to repaint, remodel, repair, improve or alter the Premises (subject, however, to the terms of Section 8.1 of the Lease).
(2) Tenant’s election to exercise the Extension Option must be given to Landlord in writing no less than three hundred and sixty-five (365) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term (the “Extension Notice”). Within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of the Extension Notice, Landlord shall send Tenant written notice of Landlord’s good faith determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Premises (the “Fair Market Rent Notice”). For purposes of this Section, the term “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the base rental rate, periodic rental rate adjustment and other charges and increases, if any, for space comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises under a primary lease (and not sublease) to new or renewing tenants, for a comparable term with a tenant improvement allowance, if applicable and taking into consideration such amenities as existing improvements, view, floor on which the Premises are situated and the like, situated in buildings in Berkeley and Emeryville, California. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Extension Option shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect, whether or not Tenant has timely exercised the Extension Option, if a monetary Default or material non-monetary Default exists at the time of exercise of the Extension Option or at the time of commencement of the Extended Term.
(3) If Tenant properly exercises the Extension Option, the Monthly Base Rent during the Extended Term shall be determined in the following manner. The Monthly Base Rent as of the commencement of the Extended Term shall be adjusted to an amount equal to the Fair Market Rent for the Premises as specified in the Fair Market Rent Notice, subject to Tenant’s right of arbitration as set forth below. Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Monthly Base Rent during the first twelve (12) months of the Extension Term be less than the Monthly Base Rent for the last month of the Initial Term. If Tenant believes that the Fair Market Rent specified in the Fair Market Rent Notice exceeds the actual Fair Market Rent for the Premises as of the date of such notice, then Tenant shall so notify Landlord within ten (10) days of Tenant’s receipt of the Fair Market Rent Notice. If Tenant fails to so notify Landlord within such 10-day period, Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rent shall be final and binding upon the parties. If the parties are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Rent within ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s objection to the Fair Market Rent Notice, the amount of Monthly Base Rent as of the commencement of the Extended Term shall be determined as follows:
- 15 -
(i) Within twenty (20) days after the 10-day period has expired and the parties have failed to agree on the Fair Market Rent, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall obtain and deliver in writing to Landlord a determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Premises for a term equal to the Extended Term from a broker (“Tenant’s Broker”) licensed in the State of California and engaged in the laboratory brokerage business in Berkeley/Emeryville, California, for at least the immediately preceding five (5) years. If Landlord accepts such determination, the Monthly Base Rent for the Extended Term shall be adjusted to an amount equal to the amount determined by Tenant’s Broker.
(ii) If Landlord does not accept such determination, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the determination of Tenant’s broker, Landlord shall designate a broker (“Landlord’s Broker”) licensed in the State of California and engaged in the laboratory brokerage business in Berkeley/Emeryville, California, for at least the immediately preceding five (5) years. Landlord’s Broker and Tenant’s Broker shall name a third broker, similarly qualified, within five (5) days after appointment of Landlord’s Broker. Landlord’s Broker and Tenant’s Broker shall each determine the Fair Market Rent for the Premises as of the commencement of the Extended Term for a term equal to the Extended Term within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the third broker. The Monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant effective as of the commencement of the Extended Term shall be adjusted to an amount equal to the determination of Fair Market Rent made by either Landlord’s Broker or Tenant’s Broker that the third broker finds to be closer to the Fair Market Rent.
(iii) Landlord shall pay the costs and fees of Landlord’s Broker in connection with any determination hereunder, and Tenant shall pay the costs and fees of Tenant’s Broker in connection with such determination. The costs and fees of any third broker shall be paid one-half by Landlord and one-half by Tenant.
(4) If the amount of the Fair Market Rent is not known as of the commencement of the Extended Term, then Tenant shall continue to pay the Monthly Base Rent for the Premises in effect at the expiration of the Extended Term until the amount of the Fair Market Rent is determined. When such determination is made, Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord upon demand.
(5) In connection with the extension of the Term pursuant to Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option, the parties acknowledge and agree that Landlord shall not be responsible for the payment to any real estate broker, salesperson or finder claiming to have represented Tenant of any commission, finder’s fee or other compensation in connection with or as a consequence of Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option.
(6) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except with respect to a Permitted Transferee, Tenant’s rights under this Section 2.2(b) are personal to Named Tenant and shall not be assigned or assignable, in whole or in part, to any third party other than a Permitted Transferee. Any assignment or other transfer of such rights by Named Tenant in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void and of no force or effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no sublessee of the Premises shall be permitted to exercise the rights granted to Tenant under this Section 2.2(b).
2.3 FAILURE TO DELIVER POSSESSION
If Suite 120 is not delivered to Tenant with the Landlord Work Substantially Completed by the Commencement Date for any reason, Landlord shall not be liable for any claims, damages or liabilities by reason thereof, nor affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder; provided, however, the Commencement Date as to Suite 120 only shall be adjusted to reflect the actual delivery date, and Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a commercially reasonable form of memorandum to memorialize the Commencement Date as to Suite 120 only, and the Commencement Date as to the balance of the Premises shall remain as set forth in the Basic Lease Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if Landlord is unable to so deliver Suite 120 by the date (the “Outside Suite 120 Delivery Date”) that is ninety (90) days after the Commencement Date (which Outside Suite 120 Delivery Date shall be subject to extension day- for-day for Force Majeure events), then Tenant may, at its option, by notice in writing (the “Suite 120 Termination Notice”) within thirty (30) days after the Outside Suite 120 Delivery Date cancel this Lease as to Suite 120 only, in which event Landlord and Tenant shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder relating to Suite 120, and Landlord shall return to Tenant any prepaid rent relating to Suite 120 and the Additional Security Deposit, and both parties shall be released from all obligations under this Lease relating to Suite 120 (excepting only those obligations, such as indemnification and defense obligations, which are expressly intended to survive the termination of this Lease). If the Termination Notice is not received by Landlord within said thirty (30) day period, Tenant’s right to cancel as to Suite 120 shall terminate. The remedy set forth above shall be Tenant’s sole remedy in the event of a delay in delivering possession of Suite 120 to Tenant. In no event shall Landlord be liable for special or consequential damages as a result of any such delay, and no such termination shall modify Tenant’s obligations under this Lease as to the balance of the Premises.
- 16 -
2.4 CONDITION OF PREMISES
Landlord shall deliver possession of Suite 120 to Tenant with the Landlord Work Substantially Completed, in vacant, broom clean condition, with all Building systems in good working order, and free of all tenancies and other occupancy rights other than Tenant’s pursuant to this Lease. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date of any defects in Suite 120 claimed by Tenant or in the materials or workmanship furnished by Landlord in completing the Landlord Work, if any (the “Suite 120 Patent Defect Notice”). Tenant is not waiving its right to have Landlord repair any latent defects that may exist (if any) in Suite 120, and Landlord shall have the obligation (as Tenant’s sole remedy) to repair such latent defects, if any, which are discovered by Tenant and reported to Landlord in writing within ninety (90) days after the Commencement Date (the “Suite 120 Latent Defect Notice” and collectively with the Suite 120 Patent Defect Notice, the “Suite 120 Defect Notices”). As specified in Section 2.l above, Tenant currently leases the Premises (other than Suite 120) pursuant to the terms of the Existing Lease. Therefore, except for defects stated in the Suite 120 Defect Notices, and subject to any representations, warranties or covenants of Landlord expressly set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall be conclusively deemed to have (a) accepted the Premises “AS IS” in the condition existing on (i) the date of this Lease, as to all of the Premises other than Suite 120, and (ii) as of the date Tenant first takes possession of Suite 120, as to Suite 120, and (b) waived all claims relating to the condition of the Premises. Landlord shall proceed diligently to correct the defects stated in the Suite 120 Defect Notices unless Landlord disputes the existence of any such defects. In the event of any dispute as to the existence of any such defects, the good faith decision of Landlord’s architect shall be final and binding on the parties. No agreement of Landlord to alter, remodel, decorate, clean or improve the Premises or the Real Property and no representation regarding the condition of the Premises or the Real Property has been made by or on behalf of Landlord to Tenant, except as may be specifically stated in this Lease or in the Workletter. Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to relieve Landlord from any of its duties or obligations expressly set forth in this Lease or the Workletter.
2.5 PARKING
During the Term, Tenant may use the number of spaces specified in Section 1.1(12) for parking at the rates specified in Section 1.1(12). In the event Tenant fails at any time to pay the full amount of such parking charges, until the delinquent amount is paid Tenant’s parking rights may be reduced to the extent of Tenant’s failure to pay for any such parking. The locations and type of parking (including, without limitation, valet parking, if any) shall be designated by Landlord or Landlord’s parking operator from time to time. All of the spaces shall be unreserved spaces (other than the Building Spaces) and shall be located within the Aquatic Park Center in either parking lots or structured parking garages (other than the Building Spaces). Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the parking spaces serving the Project may include tandem or valet parking and a mixture of spaces for compact vehicles as well as full-size passenger automobiles, and that Tenant shall not use parking spaces for vehicles larger than the striped size of the parking spaces. All vehicles utilizing Tenant’s parking spaces shall prominently display identification stickers or other markers, and/or have passes or keycards for ingress and egress, as may be required and provided by Landlord or its parking operator from time to time. Tenant shall comply with any and all parking rules and regulations from time to time established by Landlord or Landlord’s parking operator, including a requirement that Tenant pay to Landlord or Landlord’s parking operator a charge for loss and replacement of passes, keycards, identification stickers or markers, and for any and all loss or other damage caused by persons or vehicles related to use of Tenant’s parking spaces. Tenant shall not allow any vehicles using Tenant’s parking spaces to be parked, loaded or unloaded except in accordance with this Section, including in the areas and in the manner designated by Landlord or its parking operator for such activities. If any vehicle is using the parking or loading areas contrary to any provision of this Section, Landlord or its parking operator shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease, to remove or tow away the vehicle without prior notice to Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord within ten (I 0) days after notice from Landlord.
To the extent Landlord continues to have such technology available in the Common Areas, Landlord shall keep all EV charging stations located in the parking areas that serve the Premises as of the Commencement Date in good condition, repair and working order throughout the Tenn. The cost of all such maintenance and repair shall be included in Operating Expenses.
- 17 -
ARTICLE 3
RENT
From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord at the address specified in Section 1.1(2), or to such other persons, or at such other places designated by Landlord, without any prior demand therefor in immediately available funds and without any deduction or offset whatsoever (except as expressly provided herein), Rent, including Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments in accordance with Article 4, during the Term. Monthly Base Rent shall be paid monthly in advance on or prior to the first day of each month of the Term, except that the first installment of Monthly Base Rent shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease. Monthly Base Rent shall be prorated for partial months within the Term. Tenant’s covenant to pay Rent shall be independent of every other covenant in this Lease.
ARTICLE 4
RENT ADJUSTMENTS AND PAYMENTS
4.1 RENT ADJUSTMENTS
(a) From and after the Commencement Date until the Termination Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Rent Adjustments with respect to each calendar year (or partial calendar year in the case of the year in which the Commencement Date and the Termination Date occur) as follows:
(1) The Rent Adjustment Deposit representing Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the applicable calendar year (or partial calendar year), monthly during the Term with the payment of Monthly Base Rent;
(2) The Rent Adjustment Deposit representing Tenant’s Share of Taxes for the applicable calendar year (or partial calendar year), monthly during the Term with the payment of Monthly Base Rent; and
(3) Any Rent Adjustments due in excess of the Rent Adjustment Deposits in accordance with Section 4.2. Rent Adjustments due from Tenant to Landlord for any calendar year (or partial calendar year) shall be Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for such calendar year (or partial calendar year) and Tenant’s Share of Taxes for such calendar year (or partial calendar year).
(b) On or before the beginning of each calendar year or with Landlord’s Statement (as defined in Section 4.2 below), Landlord may estimate and notify Tenant in writing of its estimate of the amount of Operating Expenses and Taxes payable by Tenant for such calendar year. Prior to the first determination by Landlord of the amount of Operating Expenses and Taxes for the first calendar year, Landlord may estimate such amounts in the foregoing calculation. Landlord shall have the right from time to time but not more than once during any calendar year to provide a new or revised estimate of Operating Expenses and/or Taxes and to notify Tenant in writing thereof, of corresponding adjustments in Tenant’s Rent Adjustment Deposit payable over the remainder of such year, and of the amount or revised amount due allocable to months preceding such change. The last estimate by Landlord shall remain in effect as the applicable Rent Adjustment Deposit unless and until Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of a change, which notice may be given by Landlord from time to time but not more than once during any calendar year throughout the Term.
(c) For purposes of determining Rent Adjustments, if the Building or Property is not fully occupied during all or a portion of any calendar year during the Term, Landlord shall make appropriate adjustments to the variable components of Operating Expenses for such calendar year (or partial calendar year), employing sound accounting and management principles consistently applied, to determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been paid or incurred by Landlord had the Building been one hundred percent (I 00%) occupied, and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of Operating Expenses for such calendar year (or partial calendar year). In the event that the Property is not fully assessed for all or a portion of any calendar year (or partial calendar year) during the Term, then Taxes shall be adjusted to an amount which would have been payable in such calendar year (or partial calendar year) if the Property had been fully assessed. In addition, Landlord shall have the right, at its sole discretion, from time to time, to equitably allocate certain Operating Expenses among only certain tenants of the Project as to any expense or cost that relates to a repair, replacement or service that benefits only those tenants, and the Rent Adjustments shall reflect any such allocations.
- 18 -
4.2 STATEMENT OF LANDLORD
As soon as practical after the expiration of each calendar year, Landlord will furnish Tenant with a statement respecting the prior calendar year (“Landlord’s Statement”) showing the following:
(a) The amount of actual Operating Expenses and Taxes for such calendar year;
(b) The amount of Rent Adjustments due Landlord for the last calendar year, less credit for Rent Adjustment Deposits paid, if any; and
(c) Any change in the Rent Adjustment Deposit due monthly in the current calendar year, including the amount or revised amount due for months preceding any such change pursuant to Landlord’s Statement.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of such statement any amounts for Rent Adjustments then due in accordance with Landlord’s Statement. Any amounts due from Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Section shall be credited to the Rent Adjustment Deposit next corning due, or promptly refunded to Tenant if the Term has already expired or terminated, provided Tenant is not in Default hereunder. No interest or penalties shall accrue on any amounts that Landlord is obligated to credit or refund to Tenant by reason of this Section 4.2. Landlord’s failure to deliver Landlord’s Statement or to compute the amount of the Rent Adjustments shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to deliver such items nor constitute a waiver or release of Tenant’s obligations to pay such amounts, unless Landlord fails to deliver such Landlord’s Statement as to Operating Expenses or Taxes (unless such delivery delay as to Taxes is due to a delay in the taxing authority providing updated Tax information) within twenty-four (24) months following the conclusion of the applicable calendar year. The Rent Adjustment Deposit shall be credited against Rent Adjustments due for the applicable calendar year (or partial calendar year). During the last complete calendar year or during any partial calendar year in which this Lease expires or terminates, Landlord may include in the Rent Adjustment Deposit its estimate of Rent Adjustments which might not be finally determined until after the expiration or termination of this Lease. Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent Adjustments survives the expiration or termination of this Lease.
4.3 BOOKS AND RECORDS
Landlord shall maintain books and records showing Operating Expenses and Taxes in accordance with sound accounting and management practices, consistently applied. Tenant or its representative (which representative shall be a certified public accountant licensed to do business in the state in which the Property is located and whose primary business is certified public accounting and who shall not be paid on a contingency basis) shall have the right, for a period of sixty (60) days following the date upon which Landlord’s Statement is delivered to Tenant, to examine Landlord’s books and records with respect to the items in the foregoing statement of Operating Expenses and Taxes during normal business hours, upon written notice, delivered at least three (3) Business Days in advance. Tenant shall pay for all costs of such examination, provided, however, if the examination reveals an overcharge of five percent (5%) or more, then Landlord shall pay for all reasonable and actual third-party costs of such examination, up to a maximum amount of the lesser of the amount of the overcharge or Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00). If Tenant performs such examination, but does not object in writing to Landlord’s Statement within ninety (90) days after Tenant’s receipt thereof, specifying the nature of the item in dispute and the reasons therefor, then Landlord’s Statement shall be considered final and accepted by Tenant and Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to dispute Landlord’s Statement. If Tenant does dispute any Landlord’s Statement, Tenant shall deliver a copy of any such audit to Landlord at the time of notification of the dispute. If Tenant does not provide such notice of dispute and a copy of such audit to Landlord within such ninety (90) day period, it shall be deemed to have waived such right to dispute Landlord’s Statement. Any amount due to Landlord as shown on Landlord’s Statement, whether or not disputed by Tenant as provided herein shall be paid by Tenant when due as provided above, without prejudice to any such written exception.

SECURITY
(a) Simultaneously with Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease to Landlord, Tenant shall pay Landlord in immediately available funds the cash amount of the Additional Security Deposit set forth in Section l. l(l 0) of this Lease, which Additional Security Deposit, plus the amount held under the Existing Lease (as set forth in Section 1.1(10)), Landlord shall hold under this Lease for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of each and every term, provision, covenant, and condition of this Lease. If Tenant fails to perform any of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease or any other document executed by Tenant in connection with this Lease beyond any applicable notice or cure period, then Landlord may use, apply, or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent not paid when due, for the cost of repairing any damage, for the cost of cleaning the Premises, for the payment of any other sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s failure to perform, and otherwise for compensation of Landlord for any other loss or damage to Landlord occasioned by Tenant’s failure to perform, including, but not limited to, any loss of future Rent and any damage or deficiency in the reletting of the Premises (whether such loss, damages or deficiency accrue before or after summary proceedings or other reentry by Landlord) and the amount of the unpaid past Rent, future Rent loss, and all other losses, costs and damages, that Landlord would be entitled to recover if Landlord were to pursue recovery under Section 1 1.2(b) or (c) of this Lease or California Civil Code Section 1951.2 or 1951.4 (and any supplements, amendments, replacements and substitutions thereof and therefor from time to time). If Landlord so uses, applies or retains all or part of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall within five (5) Business Days after demand pay or deliver to Landlord in immediately available funds the sum necessary to replace the amount used, applied or retained. The Security Deposit (except any amount retained for application by Landlord as provided herein) shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the later of: (i) the Termination Date or (ii) recovery of possession of the Premises by Landlord; provided, however, in no event shall any such return be construed as an admission by Landlord that Tenant has performed all of its obligations hereunder.
- 20 -
(b) The Security Deposit shall not be deemed an advance rent deposit or an advance payment of any kind, or a measure of Landlord’s damages with respect to Tenant’s failure to perform, nor shall any action or inaction of Landlord with respect to it or its use or application be a waiver of, or bar or defense to, enforcement of any right or remedy of Landlord. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds and shall not have any fiduciary duties or other duties (except as set forth in this Section) concerning the Security Deposit. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. In the event of any sale or other transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Security Deposit, or balance thereof, to the transferee and any such transfer shall release Landlord from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit if the Security Deposit is actually transferred to the purchaser of Landlord’s interest in the Building and such purchaser assumes Landlord’s obligations under this Article 5. Tenant thereafter shall look solely to such transferee for the return or payment of the Security Deposit. Tenant shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the Security Deposit or any interest in it and Landlord shall not be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance, and regardless of one or more assignments of this Lease, Landlord may return the Security Deposit to the original Tenant without liability to any assignee. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights of Tenant under the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, and any and all rights of Tenant under all provisions of Law, now or hereafter enacted, regarding security deposits.

Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be in breach of this Lease nor be liable to Tenant for damages or otherwise, for any failure to furnish, or a delay in furnishing, or a change in the quantity or character of any service when such failure, delay or change is occasioned, in whole or in part, by repairs, improvements or mechanical breakdowns, by the act or default of Tenant or other parties or by an event of Force Majeure. No such failure, delay or change shall be deemed to be an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises, or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or from performing any other obligations of Tenant under this Lease, without any deduction or offset, except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.5. Failure to any extent to make available, or any slowdown, stoppage, or interruption of, the specified utility services resulting from any cause, including changes in service provider or Landlord’s compliance with any voluntary or similar governmental or business guidelines now or hereafter published or any requirements now or hereafter established by any governmental agency, board, or bureau having jurisdiction over the operation of the Property, shall not render Landlord liable in any respect for damages to either persons, property, or business, nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant or work an abatement of Rent, nor relieve Tenant of Tenant’s obligations for fulfillment of any covenant or agreement hereof. Should any equipment or machinery furnished by Landlord break down or for any cause cease to function properly, Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to repair same promptly, but Tenant shall have no claim for abatement of Rent or damages on

(9) Monitoring by Landlord. Landlord reserves the right to monitor, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion and at Landlord’s cost, the reasonable cost of which shall be recoverable as an Operating Expense (except in the case of a breach of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Section, in which event such monitoring costs may be charged back entirely to Tenant and shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord within ten (I 0) days after written demand by Landlord from time to time, accompanied by supporting documentation reasonably evidencing the costs for which such reimbursement is claimed), at such times and from time to time as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may determine, through consultants engaged by Landlord or otherwise as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may determine: (x) all aqueous and atmospheric discharges and emissions from the Premises during the Term by a Tenant Party, (y) Tenant’s compliance and the collective compliance of all tenants in the Building with requirements and restrictions relating to the occupancy classification of the Building (including, but not limited to, Hazardous Materials inventory levels of Tenant and all other tenants in the Building), and (z) Tenant’s compliance with all other requirements of this Section.
(10) Discovery of Discharge. If Landlord, Tenant or any governmental or quasi- governmental authority discovers any Release from the Premises during the Term by a Tenant Party in violation of this Section that, in Landlord’s reasonable determination, jeopardizes the ability of the Building or the Project to meet applicable Laws or otherwise adversely affects the Building’s or the Project’s compliance with applicable discharge or emission standards, or if Landlord discovers any other breach of Tenant’s obligations under this Section, then upon receipt of written notice from Landlord or at such earlier time as Tenant obtains actual knowledge of the applicable discharge, emission or breach, Tenant at its sole expense shall within a reasonable time (x) in the case of a Release in violation of this Lease, cease the applicable discharge or emission and remediate any continuing effects of the discharge or emission until such time, if any, as Tenant demonstrates to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that the applicable discharge or emission is in compliance with all applicable Laws and any other applicable regulatory commitments and obligations to the satisfaction of the appropriate governmental agency with jurisdiction over the Release, and (y) in the case of any other breach of Tenant’s obligations under this Section, take such corrective measures as Landlord may reasonably request in writing in order to cure or eliminate the breach as promptly as practicable and to remediate any continuing effects of the breach.

If Landlord in its reasonable discretion adopts any emergency response plan and/or any Contingency Plan and Emergency Procedures for the Building (and/or for multiple buildings within the Campus if and to the extent applicable) as contemplated above, Landlord shall provide copies of any such plans and procedures to Tenant and, so long as such plans and procedures are reasonable and do not materially interfere with Tenant’s use or occupancy of or access to the Premises or any parking areas or materially increase the cost of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall comply with all of the requirements of such plans and procedures to the extent applicable to Tenant and/or the Premises during the Term. If Landlord elects to adopt or materially modify any such plans or procedures that apply to the Building during the Term, Landlord shall consult with Tenant and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate in the preparation of such plans, procedures or modifications in efforts to accurately reflect and maintain consistency with Tenant’s operations in the Premises, but Landlord alone shall determine, in its good faith reasonable discretion, the appropriate scope of such consultation and nothing in this Subsection (11) shall be construed to give Tenant any right of approval or disapproval over Landlord’s adoption or modification of any such plans or procedures nor shall any consultation or other input provided by Tenant be relied on by Landlord or result in any liability to Tenant arising out of or in connection with such plans, procedures or modifications.

(14) Deemed Holdover Occupancy. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, Tenant expressly agrees as follows:
(i) If Tenant Handles any Radioactive Materials in or about the Premises or the Project during the Tern, then for so long as any license or permit relating to such Radioactive Materials remains open or valid following the Termination Date, and another entity handling Radioactive Materials which is a prospective tenant of Landlord is legally prohibited from occupying a portion of the Premises for a use similar to the Permitted Use, then Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying that portion of the Premises on a holdover basis without Landlord’s consent (notwithstanding such otherwise applicable termination or expiration of the Term) and shall be required to continue to pay Rent and other charges in accordance with Article 13 solely for that portion of the Premises effected by the radioactive materials license, until such time as all such Radioactive Materials licenses and permits have been fully closed out in accordance with the requirements of this Lease and with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws and other Laws.
(ii) If Tenant Handles any Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises or the Project during the Term and, on or before the Termination Date, has failed to remove from the Premises or the Project all known Hazardous Materials Handled by a Tenant Party or has failed to complete any remediation or removal of Tenant’s Contamination and/or to have fully remediated in compliance with the requirements of this Lease and with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws and any other applicable Laws, the Tenant’s Handling and/or Release (if applicable) of any such Hazardous Materials during the Term, then for so long as such circumstances continue to

Either party’s exercise or failure to exercise, at any time or from time to time, any or all of the rights granted in this Section 7.1(f) shall not in any way impose any liability on such party or shift from the other party to such party any responsibility or obligation imposed upon the other party under this Lease, Hazardous Materials Laws or other Laws.
(16) Laboratory Rules and Regulations. Tenant agrees for itself and for its subtenants, employees, agents, and invitees to comply with the laboratory rules and regulations (“Laboratory Rules and Regulations”) attached to this Lease as Exhibit C-1 and with all reasonable modifications and additions thereto which Landlord may make from time to time.
(17) Suite 120. Landlord hereby represents that, to Landlord’s actual knowledge, as of the Commencement Date, Suite 120 will have been decontaminated and decommissioned per industry standards by a 3rd party vendor. Should Tenant determine that there is any noncompliance with the foregoing representation and provide Landlord with a written notice thereof, Landlord shall promptly after receipt of written notice from Tenant setting forth with specificity the nature and extent of such noncompliance, rectify the same at Landlord’s expense; such noncompliance shall not, however, entitle Tenant to an abatement of rent or to terminate this Lease, or otherwise release Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
7.2 LANDLORD ACCESS TO PREMISES; APPROVALS
(a) Tenant shall permit Landlord to erect, use and maintain pipes, ducts, wiring and conduits in and through the utility raceways in the Premises, so long as Tenant’s use, layout or design of the Premises is not materially affected or altered.

(b) Advance notice shall not be required for entry in the event of an emergency, as reasonably determined by Landlord, but any other entry or work by Landlord shall be upon at least one (I) Business Day’s prior written notice to Tenant. Any entry by Landlord or its agents shall not impair Tenant’s operations more than reasonably necessary, and shall comply with Tenant’s reasonable security measures, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s right to escort Landlord through the Premises.

- 32 -
(d) Landlord may do any of the foregoing, or undertake any of the inspection or work described in the preceding paragraphs without such action constituting an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, in whole or in part, or giving rise to an abatement of Rent by reason of loss or interruption of business of Tenant, or otherwise.
(e) The review, approval or consent of Landlord with respect to any item required or permitted under this Lease is for Landlord’s own protection only, and Landlord has not, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any responsibility to Tenant or any other xxxxx, as a result of the exercise or non-exercise of such rights, for compliance with Laws or Hazardous Materials Laws or for the accuracy or sufficiency of any item or the quality or suitability of any item for its intended use.

7.4 TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
(a) Landlord may elect or may be required to develop and implement a Transportation Demand Management (“TDM”) program for the Building in order to reduce the traffic-related impacts resulting from development of the Property.

If Tenant proposes to sublease less than all of the Rentable Area of the Premises, the space proposed to be sublet and the space retained by Tenant must each be a marketable unit as reasonably determined by Landlord and otherwise in compliance with all Laws. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of its approval or disapproval of the proposed sublease or assignment or its decision to exercise its rights under Section 10.2 within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s Notice (and all required information). In no event may Tenant sublease any portion of the Premises or assign the Lease to any other tenant of the Project. Tenant shall submit for Landlord’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) any advertising which Tenant or its agents intend to use with respect to the space proposed to be sublet.
(b) With respect to Landlord’s consent to an assignment or sublease, Landlord may take into consideration any factors that Landlord may deem relevant, and the reasons for which Landlord’s denial shall be deemed to be reasonable shall include, without limitation, the following:
(i) the creditworthiness of any proposed subtenant or assignee is not acceptable to Landlord; or
(ii) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment the proposed assignee or sublessee would diminish the value or reputation of the Project, Campus or Landlord; or
(iii) any proposed assignee’s or sublessee’s use of the Premises would violate Section 7.1 of this Lease or would violate the provisions of any other leases of tenants in the Project; or
(iv) the proposed sublessee or assignee is a current occupant of the Project or Campus or a bona fide prospective tenant of Landlord in the Project as demonstrated by a written proposal dated within six (6) months prior to the date of Tenant’s request and Landlord has vacancy in the Project of a similar size and finish as the space subject to such proposed sublease or assignment; or
(v) the proposed sublessee or assignee would materially increase the estimated pedestrian and vehicular traffic to and from the Premises and the Project above that reasonably deemed typical by Landlord for office/lab use in the Project; or
(vi) Tenant is in Default under this Lease.
(c) Any sublease or assignment shall be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Any subtenant or assignee shall execute such documents as Landlord may reasonably require to evidence such subtenant or assignee’s assumption of the obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of all agreements executed by Tenant and the proposed subtenant and assignee with respect to the Premises. Landlord’s approval of a sublease, assignment, hypothecation, transfer or third party use or occupancy shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s obligation to obtain Landlord’s consent to further assignments or subleases, hypothecations, transfers or third party use or occupancy.
- 36 -
(d) For purposes of this Article 10, an assignment shall be deemed to include a change in the majority control of Tenant resulting from any transfer, sale or assignment of shares of stock of Tenant occurring by operation of Law or otherwise (other than an Excluded Change In Majority Control, as defined below) if Tenant is a corporation whose shares of stock are not traded publicly. If Tenant is a general partnership, any change in the general partners of Tenant shall be deemed to be an assignment for purposes of this Lease. As used herein, an “Excluded Change in Majority Control” shall mean any change in the majority control of Tenant resulting from or associated with (i) any initial public offering of the capital stock or other equity interest of Tenant on any nationally recognized securities exchange or (ii) any bona fide capitalization, recapitalization or financing for the benefit of Tenant (a “Financing Event”); provided, however, in the case of a Financing Event, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the Financing Event, together with evidence that Tenant shall continue to have a net worth equal to or greater than Tenant’s net worth as of the date immediately prior to the Financing Event, or if prior notice is prohibited by a confidentiality agreement or securities regulations or related regulations, then as soon after the Financing Event as is permissible.
(e) o long as Tenant is not entering into a transaction described herein for the purpose of avoiding or otherwise circumventing the remaining terms of this Article, Tenant may, subject to Section 10.5, assign its entire interest under this Lease or sublease all or a portion of the Premises, without the consent of Landlord, to any of the following (each, a “Permitted Transferee”) (i) an Affiliate, or (ii) a successor to Tenant by purchase or other acquisition of Tenant’s capital stock or substantially all of Tenant’s assets or by merger, consolidation or reorganization, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) Tenant is not then in Default under this Lease; (2) Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the proposed transfer together with the information required hereunder and such entity shall expressly assume Tenant’s obligations hereunder, or if prior notice is prohibited by a confidentiality agreement or securities regulations or related regulations, then as soon after the transfer as is permissible; (3) with respect to an assignment to an Affiliate, Tenant continues to have a net worth equal to or greater than Tenant’s net worth as of the date immediately prior to such transfer; and (4) with respect to a purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization which results in Tenant ceasing to exist as a separate legal entity, Tenant’s successor shall have a net worth equal to Tenant’s net worth at the date immediately prior to such transfer.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.1 to the contrary, Tenant shall be permitted to allow its contractors (i.e., parties with whom Tenant contracts to provide special services, such as scientists) to occupy certain portions of the Premises without Landlord’s consent (for purposes of this Section 10.1(g), each such, person or company is referred to as an “Occupant”), provided the following conditions are satisfied: (i) such occupancy is not a subterfuge to avoid the provisions of this Article 10 concerning assignment and subleases; (ii) such occupancy is not separated from the remaining portions of the Premises by demising walls and does not have a separate entrance; (iii) each Occupant shall comply with the insurance requirements under Sections 16.1 and 16.2 (including naming Landlord and the Indemnitees required under Section 16.2 as additional insureds) as if such Occupant were Tenant (with Landlord having received evidence of such insurance prior to such Occupant’s occupancy of the Premises) and shall be subject to the waivers under Section 16.4 as if such Occupant were Tenant; (iv) prior to such Occupant’s occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall have provided Landlord with the name and address of the Occupant and length of occupancy term for such Occupant; and (v) the aggregate space occupied by Occupants at any time does not exceed 1,000 rentable square feet. If an occupancy described above does not satisfy all of the foregoing conditions, then such occupancy shall constitute a sublease and shall be subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.1.
10.2 RECAPTURE
Excluding any assignment or sublease contemplated in Section 10.1(e), Landlord shall have the option to exclude from the Premises covered by this Lease (“recapture”) the space proposed to be sublet for substantially the remainder of the Term or subject to the assignment, effective as of the proposed commencement date of such sublease or assignment. If Landlord elects to recapture, Tenant shall surrender possession of the space proposed to be subleased or subject to the assignment to Landlord on the effective date of recapture of such space from the Premises, such date being the Termination Date for such space. Effective as of the date of recapture of any portion of the Premises pursuant to this section, the Monthly Base Rent, Rentable Area of the Premises and Tenant’s Share shall be adjusted accordingly.
- 37 -
10.3 EXCESS RENT
Tenant shall pay Landlord on the first day of each month during the term of the sublease or assignment, as additional Rent under this Lease, fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the sum of all rent and other consideration (direct or indirect) due from the subtenant or assignee for such month exceeds: (i) that portion of the Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments due under this Lease for said month which is allocable to the space sublet or assigned; and (ii) the following costs and expenses for the subletting or assignment of such space: (I) brokerage commissions and attorneys’ fees and expenses, (2) the actual costs paid in making any improvements or substitutions in the Premises required by any sublease or assignment; (3) “free rent” periods, costs of any inducements or concessions given to subtenant or assignee; and (4) reasonable moving costs and other amounts actually paid with respect to such subtenant’s or assignee’s other leases or occupancy arrangements. All such costs and expenses shall be amortized over the term of the sublease or assignment pursuant to sound accounting principles.
10.4 TENANT LIABILITY
In the event of any sublease or assignment, whether or not with Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall not be released or discharged from any liability, whether past, present or future, under this Lease, including any liability arising from the exercise of any renewal or expansion option, to the extent such exercise is expressly permitted by Landlord. Tenant’s liability shall remain primary, and in the event of default by any subtenant, assignee or successor of Tenant in performance or observance of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said subtenant, assignee or successor. After any assignment, Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease, or amendments or modifications of this Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto, and such action shall not relieve Tenant or any successor of Tenant of liability under this Lease. If Tenant has any options to extend the Term or to add other space to the Premises, except with respect to a Permitted Transferee, such options shall not be available to any subtenant or assignee, directly or indirectly without Landlord’s express written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion.
10.5 ASSUMPTION AND ATTORNMENT
If Tenant shall assign this Lease as permitted herein, the assignee shall expressly assume all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder accruing after the effective date of the assignment in a written instrument satisfactory to Landlord and furnished to Landlord not later than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the assignment. Each sublease by Tenant hereunder shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate, and each subtenant by entering into a sublease is deemed to have agreed that in the event of termination, re-entry or dispossession by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, either terminate the sublease or take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublandlord, under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord’s option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not be: (I) liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease; (2) subject to any counterclaim, offset or defense that such subtenant might have against Tenant; (3) bound by any previous modification of such sublease or by any rent or additional rent or advance rent which such subtenant might have paid for more than the current month to Tenant, and all such rent shall remain due and owing, notwithstanding such advance payment; (4) bound by any security or advance rental deposit made by such subtenant which is not delivered or paid over to Landlord and with respect to which such subtenant shall look solely to Tenant for refund or reimbursement; or (5) obligated to perform any work in the subleased space or to prepare it for occupancy, and in connection with such attornment, the subtenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord any instruments Landlord may reasonably request to evidence and confirm such attornment. Each subtenant or licensee of Tenant shall be deemed, automatically upon and as a condition of its occupying or using the Premises or any part thereof, to have agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 10.5. The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall be self-operative, and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to this provision.
10.6 PROCESSING EXPENSES
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Landlord’s cost of processing each proposed assignment or subletting (whether or not the same is ultimately approved by Landlord or consummated by Tenant), the sum of One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00), plus all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to such proposed assignment or sublease, which attorneys’ fees and expenses shall not exceed $3,000.00
- 38 -
(collectively, “Processing Costs”); provided, however, that Tenant shall pay to Landlord any additional reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Landlord to the extent Tenant or its proposed assignee or subtenant does not execute Landlord’s standard form of consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall not be required to process any request for Landlord’s consent to an assignment or subletting until Tenant has paid to Landlord the amount of Landlord’s estimate of the Processing Costs. When the actual amount of the Processing Costs is determined, it shall be reconciled with Landlord’s estimate, and any payments or refunds required as a result thereof shall promptly thereafter be made by the parties.
ARTICLE 11
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
11.1 DEFAULT
The occurrence or existence of any one or more of the following shall constitute a “Default” by Tenant under this Lease:
(a) Tenant fails to pay any installment or other payment of Rent including Rent Adjustment Deposits or Rent Adjustments within five (5) days after the date when due;
(b) Tenant abandons the Premises;
(c) Tenant violates the restrictions on assignments and subleases set forth in Article 10 Assignment and Subletting and fails to cure such default within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord;
(d) Tenant fails to maintain any insurance policy required of it hereunder, and fails to cure such default within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord;
(e) Tenant fails to observe or perform any of the other covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease or the Workletter and fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Tenant, or such longer time as may reasonably be required to cure the default, so long as Tenant commences such cure within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof and diligently pursues such cure to completion unless the failure to perform is a Default for which this Lease expressly specifies there is no cure or grace period;
(f) the interest of Tenant in this Lease is levied upon under execution or other legal process;
(g) a petition is filed by or against Tenant to declare Tenant bankrupt or seeking a plan of reorganization or arrangement under any Chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or any amendment, replacement or substitution therefor, or to delay payment of, reduce or modify Tenant’s debts, which in the case of an involuntary action is not discharged within thirty (30) days;
(h) Tenant is declared insolvent by Law or any assignment of Tenant’s property is made for the benefit of creditors;
(i) a receiver is appointed for Tenant or Tenant’s property, which appointment is not discharged within thirty (30) days;
(j) any action taken by or against Tenant to reorganize or modify Tenant’s capital structure in a materially adverse way which in the case of an involuntary action is not discharged within thirty (30) days;
(k) upon the dissolution of Tenant; or
(l) upon the third occurrence during any twelve (12)-month period during the Term that Tenant fails to pay Rent when due or has breached a particular covenant of this Lease (whether or not such failure or breach is thereafter cured within any stated cure or grace period or statutory period).
- 39 -
11.2 LANDLORD’S REMEDIES
(a) A Default shall constitute a breach of this Lease for which Landlord shall have the rights and remedies set forth in this Section 11.2 and all other rights and remedies set forth in this Lease or now or hereafter allowed by Law, whether legal or equitable, and all rights and remedies of Landlord shall be cumulative and none shall exclude any other right or remedy now or hereafter allowed by applicable Law.
(b) With respect to a Default, at any time Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession by written notice to Tenant stating such election. Any written notice required pursuant to Section 11.1 shall constitute notice of unlawful detainer pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 if, at Landlord’s sole discretion, it states Landlord’s election that Tenant’s right to possession is terminated after expiration of any period required by Law or any longer period required by Section 11.1. Upon the expiration of the period stated in Landlord’s written notice of termination (and unless such notice provides an option to cure within such period and Tenant cures the Default within such period), Tenant’s right to possession shall terminate and this Lease shall terminate, and Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. Upon such termination in writing of Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord shall have the right, subject to applicable Law, to re-enter the Premises and dispossess Tenant and the legal representatives of Tenant and all other occupants of the Premises by unlawful detainer or other summary proceedings, or as otherwise permitted by Law, regain possession of the Premises and remove their property (including their trade fixtures, personal property and Required Removables pursuant to Article 12), but Landlord shall not be obligated to effect such removal, and such property may, at Landlord’s option, be stored elsewhere, sold or otherwise dealt with as permitted by Law, at the risk of, expense of and for the account of Tenant, and the proceeds of any sale shall be applied pursuant to Law. Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping of any such property. Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages that may be caused by Landlord’s removing or storing Tenant’s personal property pursuant to this Section or Section 12.1, and Tenant hereby indemnifies, and agrees to defend, protect and hold harmless, the Indemnitees from any and all loss, claims, demands, actions, expenses, liability and cost (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of or in any way related to such removal or storage. Upon such written termination of Tenant’s right to possession and this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to recover damages for Tenant’s Default as provided herein or by Law, including the following damages provided by California Civil Code Section 1951.2:
(1) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination;
(2) 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 Rent loss that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided;
(3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and
(4) 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, including, without limitation, Landlord’s unamortized costs of tenant improvements, leasing commissions and legal fees incurred in connection with entering into this Lease; and
The word “rent” as used in this Section 11.2 shall have the same meaning as the defined term Rent in this Lease. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in clauses (I) and (2) above is computed by allowing interest at the Default Rate. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in clause (3) above is 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 (I%). For the purpose of determining unpaid Rent under clause (3) above, the monthly Rent reserved in this Lease shall be deemed to be the sum of the Monthly Base Rent, monthly storage space rent, if any, the amounts last payable by Tenant as Rent Adjustments for the calendar year in which Landlord terminated this Lease as provided hereinabove.
- 40 -
(c) Even if Tenant is in Default and/or has abandoned the Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession by written notice as provided in Section 11.2(b) above, and Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover Rent as it becomes due under this Lease. In such event, Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies of a landlord under 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), or any successor statute. During such time as Tenant is in Default, if Landlord has not terminated this Lease by written notice and if Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of the Premises, such consent shall be governed by the terms and conditions of Article 10 above. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Article 10 shall be deemed to constitute reasonable limitations of Tenant’s right to assign or sublet. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that in the absence of written notice pursuant to Section 11.2(b) above terminating Tenant’s right to possession, no other act of Landlord shall constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession or an acceptance of Tenant’s surrender of the Premises, including acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease or the withholding of consent to a subletting or assignment, or terminating a subletting or assignment, if in accordance with other provisions of this Lease.
(d) In the event that Landlord seeks an injunction with respect to a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay the premium for any bond required in connection with such injunction.
(e) Tenant hereby waives any and all rights to relief from forfeiture, redemption or reinstatement granted by Law (including California Civil Code of Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179) in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises by reason of Tenant’s Default or otherwise.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, a notice to Tenant given under this Article and Article 24 of this Lease or given pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, and any notice served by mail, shall be deemed served, and the requisite waiting period deemed to begin under said Code of Civil Procedure Section upon mailing (except as may be required under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 et seq.), without any additional waiting requirement under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1011 et seq. or by other Law. For purposes of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1162, Tenant’s “place of residence”, “usual place of business”, “the property” and “the place where the property is situated” shall mean and be the Premises, whether or not Tenant has vacated same at the time of service.
(g) The voluntary or other surrender or termination of this Lease, or a mutual termination or cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger and shall terminate all or any existing assignments, subleases, subtenancies or occupancies permitted by Tenant, except if and as otherwise specified in writing by Landlord.
(h) No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of Landlord upon any default by Tenant, and no exercise by Landlord of its rights pursuant to Section 25.16 to perform any duty which Tenant fails timely to perform, shall impair any right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by Landlord unless such waiver is in writing signed by Landlord. The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of this Lease.
11.3 ATTORNEY’S FEES
In the event any party brings any suit or other proceeding with respect to the subject matter or enforcement of this Lease, the prevailing party (as determined by the court, agency or other authority before which such suit or proceeding is commenced) shall, in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs of investigation as actually incurred, including court costs, expert witness fees, costs and expenses of investigation, and all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in any such suit or proceeding (including in any action or participation in or in connection with any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, 11 United States Code Sections IOI et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), or any successor statutes, in establishing or enforcing the right to indemnification, in appellate proceedings, or in connection with the enforcement or collection of any judgment obtained in any such suit or proceeding).
- 41 -
11.4 BANKRUPTCY
The following provisions shall apply in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of Tenant:
(a) In connection with any proceeding under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code where the trustee of Tenant elects to assume this Lease for the purposes of assigning it, such election or assignment, may only be made upon compliance with the provisions of (b) and (c) below, which conditions Landlord and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable. In the event the trustee elects to reject this Lease, then Landlord shall immediately be entitled to possession of the Premises without further obligation to Tenant or the trustee.
(b) Any election to assume this Lease under Chapter 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code by Tenant as debtor-in-possession or by Tenant’s trustee (the “Electing Party”) must provide for:
The Electing Party to cure or provide to Landlord adequate assurance that it will cure all monetary defaults under this Lease within fifteen (15) days from the date of assumption, and that it will cure all nonmonetary defaults under this Lease within thirty (30) days from the date of assumption. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge such condition to be commercially reasonable.
(c) If the Electing Party has assumed this Lease or elects to assign Tenant’s interest under this Lease to any other person, such interest may be assigned only if the intended assignee has provided adequate assurance of future performance (as herein defined), of all of the obligations imposed on Tenant under this Lease.
For the purposes hereof, “adequate assurance of future performance” means that Landlord has ascertained that each of the following conditions has been satisfied:
(i) The assignee has submitted a current financial statement, certified by its chief financial officer, which shows a net worth and working capital in amounts sufficient to assure the future performance by the assignee of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; and
(ii) Landlord has obtained consents or waivers from any third parties that may be required under a lease, mortgage, financing arrangement, or other agreement by which Landlord is bound, to enable Landlord to permit such assignment.
(d) Landlord’s acceptance of rent or any other payment from any trustee, receiver, assignee, person, or other entity will not be deemed to have waived, or waive, the requirement of Landlord’s consent, Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Tenant’s interest under this Lease without such consent, or Landlord’s claim for any amount of Rent due from Tenant.
11.5 LANDLORD’S DEFAULT
Landlord shall be in default hereunder in the event Landlord has not commenced and pursued with reasonable diligence the cure of any failure of Landlord to meet its obligations hereunder within thirty (30) days after the receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant of the alleged failure to perform. Failure to provide the requisite notice and cure period by Tenant under this paragraph shall be an absolute defense by Landlord against any claims for failure to perform any of its obligations. In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate or rescind this Lease as a result of Landlord’s default as to any covenant or agreement contained in this Lease. Tenant hereby waives such remedies of termination and rescission and hereby agrees that Tenant’s remedies for default hereunder and for breach of any promise or inducement shall be limited to a suit for damages and/or injunction. In addition, Tenant hereby covenants that, prior to the exercise of any such remedies, it will give any Mortgagee notice and a reasonable time to cure any default by Landlord (as specified in Section 23.2 below).
- 42 -
ARTICLE 12
SURRENDER OF PREMISES
12.1 IN GENERAL
Upon the Termination Date, Tenant shall surrender and vacate the Premises immediately and deliver possession thereof to Landlord in a clean, good and tenantable condition, ordinary wear and tear, Hazardous Materials (other than those which are Tenant’s responsibility hereunder), casualty and condemnation, and damage caused by Landlord excepted. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all keys to the Premises. All improvements in and to the Premises, including any Tenant Alterations (collectively, “Leasehold Improvements”) shall remain upon the Premises at the end of the Term without compensation to Tenant. Tenant’s trade fixtures, furniture, equipment and other personal property installed in the Premises (“Tenant’s Property”) shall at all times be and remain Tenant’s property. Except for Alterations which cannot be removed without structural injury to the Premises, at any time Tenant may remove Tenant’s Property from the Premises, provided that Tenant repairs all damage caused by such removal. Landlord shall have no lien or other interest in any item of Tenant’s Property. Landlord, however, by written notice to Tenant at least thirty (30) days prior to the Termination Date, may require Tenant, at its expense, to remove (a) any Cable installed by or for the benefit of Tenant, and (b) any Tenant Additions that Landlord designated for removal at the time of consent and that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, are of a nature that would require removal and repair costs that are materially in excess of the removal and repair costs associated with standard laboratory and office improvements (collectively referred to as “Required Removables”). Required Removables may include, without limitation, internal stairways, raised floors, personal baths and showers, vaults, rolling file systems and structural alterations and modifications. The designated Required Removables shall be removed by Tenant before the Termination Date. Tenant’s removal and disposal of items pursuant to this Section 12.1 must comply with the Project’s Sustainability Practices and Tenant is strongly encouraged to comply with the applicable Green Building Standards. Tenant shall repair damage caused by the installation or removal of Required Removables. If Tenant fails to perform its obligations in a timely manner, Landlord may perform such work at Tenant’s expense. In the event possession of the Premises is not delivered to Landlord when required hereunder, or if Tenant shall fail to remove those items described above, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to), at Tenant’s expense, remove any of such property and store, sell or otherwise deal with such property, and undertake, at Tenant’s expense, such restoration work as Landlord deems necessary or advisable. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.1 to the contrary, failure by Tenant to strictly comply with the provisions of this Section 12.1 with respect to any Required Removables that are required to be removed from the Premises by Tenant hereunder shall constitute a failure of Tenant to validly surrender the Premises.
12.2 LANDLORD’S RIGHTS
All property which may be removed from the Premises by Landlord shall be conclusively presumed to have been abandoned by Tenant and Landlord may deal with such property as provided in Section 11.2(b), including the waiver and indemnity obligations provided in that Section. Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in removing any Tenant Additions and in restoring the Premises to the condition required by this Lease.
ARTICLE 13
HOLDING OVER
In the event that Tenant holds over in possession of the Premises after the Termination Date, for each month or partial month Tenant holds over possession of the Premises, Tenant shall pay Landlord (i) 150% of the monthly Rent payable for the month immediately preceding the holding over (including increases for Rent Adjustments which Landlord may reasonably estimate) for the first 90 days of such holdover and (ii) 200% of the monthly Rent payable for the month immediately preceding the holding over (including increases for Rent Adjustments which Landlord may reasonably estimate) after the first 90 days of such holdover. Tenant shall also pay all damages, excluding, however, consequential damages (i.e., loss of income from prospective tenants), sustained by Landlord by reason of such holding over. The provisions of this Article shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any re-entry rights of Landlord, and Tenant’s continued occupancy of the Premises shall be as a tenancy in sufferance.
- 43 -
ARTICLE 14
DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY
14.1 SUBSTANTIAL UNTENANTABILITY
(a) If any fire or other casualty (whether insured or uninsured) renders all or a substantial portion of the Premises or the Building untenantable, Landlord shall, with reasonable promptness after the occurrence of such damage, estimate the length of time that will be required to substantially complete the repair and restoration and shall, by notice advise Tenant of such estimate (“Landlord’s Notice”). If Landlord estimates that the amount of time required to substantially complete such repair and restoration will exceed two hundred seventy (270) days from the date such damage occurred, then Landlord, or Tenant if all or a substantial portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable, shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such damage by delivering written notice to the other at any time within twenty (20) days after delivery of Landlord’s Notice, provided that if Landlord so chooses, Landlord’s Notice may also constitute such notice of termination.
(b) Unless this Lease is terminated as provided in the preceding subparagraph, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable promptness to repair and restore the Premises to its condition as existed prior to such casualty, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustments and Force Majeure delays, and also subject to zoning Laws and building codes then in effect. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease if such repairs and restoration are not in fact completed within the time period estimated by Landlord so long as Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to complete such repairs and restoration.
(c) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall be entitled to the full proceeds of any insurance coverage, whether carried by Landlord or Tenant, for damages to the Premises, except for those proceeds of Tenant’s insurance for its own personal property and equipment which would be removable by Tenant at the Termination Date. All such insurance proceeds shall be payable to Landlord whether or not the Premises are to be repaired and restored; provided, however, if this Lease is not terminated and the parties proceed to repair and restore Tenant Additions at Tenant’s cost, to the extent Landlord received proceeds of Tenant’s insurance covering Tenant Additions, such proceeds shall be applied to reimburse Tenant for its cost of repairing and restoring Tenant Additions.

MORTGAGEE PROTECTION
23.1 SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
This Lease is and shall be expressly subject and subordinate at all times to (i) any ground or underlying lease of the Real Property, now or hereafter existing, and all amendments, extensions, renewals and modifications to any such lease, and (ii) the lien of any mortgage or trust deed now or hereafter encumbering fee title to the Real Property and/or the leasehold estate under any such lease, and all amendments, extensions, renewals, replacements and modifications of such mortgage or trust deed and/or the obligation secured thereby, unless such ground lease or ground lessor, or mortgage, trust deed or Mortgagee, expressly provides or elects that this Lease shall be superior to such lease or mortgage or trust deed. If any such mortgage or trust deed is foreclosed (including any sale of the Real Property pursuant to a power of sale), or if any such lease is terminated, upon request of the Mortgagee or ground lessor, as the case may be, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale or to the ground lessor under such lease, as the case may be, provided, however, that such purchaser or ground lessor shall not be (i) bound by any payment of Rent for more than one (I) month in advance except payments in the nature of security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease; (ii) subject to any offset, defense or damages arising out of a default of any obligations of any preceding Landlord; or (iii) bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease made without the written consent of the Mortgagee or ground lessor; or (iv) liable for any security deposits not actually received in cash by such purchaser or ground lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that upon written request from Tenant, Landlord shall request that any future Mortgagee provide a nondisturbance agreement to Tenant on such Mortgagee’s standard form. In confirmation of such subordination, however, Tenant shall execute promptly any reasonable certificate or instrument that Landlord, Mortgagee or ground lessor may request. Tenant hereby constitutes Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute such certificate or instrument for and on behalf of Tenant upon Tenant’s failure to do so within fifteen (15) days after a request to do so.

The terms of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this Lease by reason of foreclosure.
23.2 MORTGAGEE PROTECTION
Tenant agrees to give any Mortgagee or ground lessor, by registered or certified mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord by Tenant, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has received notice (by way of service on Tenant of a copy of an assignment of rents and leases, or otherwise) of the address of such Mortgagee or ground lessor. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then the Mortgagee or ground lessor shall have an additional thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof within which to cure such default or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional notice time as may be necessary, if, within such thirty (30) days, any Mortgagee or ground lessor has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including commencement of foreclosure proceedings or other proceedings to acquire possession of the Real Property, if necessary to effect such cure). Such period of time shall be extended by any period within which such Mortgagee or ground lessor is prevented from commencing or pursuing such foreclosure proceedings or other proceedings to acquire possession of the Real Property by reason of Landlord’s bankruptcy. Until the time allowed as aforesaid for Mortgagee or ground lessor to cure such defaults has expired without cure, Tenant shall have no right to, and shall not, terminate this Lease on account of default. This Lease may not be modified or amended so as to reduce the Rent or shorten the Term, or so as to adversely affect in any other respect to any material extent the rights of Landlord, nor shall this Lease be canceled or surrendered, without the prior written consent, in each instance, of the ground lessor or the Mortgagee. Landlord shall make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from Landlord’s current Mortgagee a form of non-disturbance agreement in favor of Tenant on Mortgagee’s standard form, provided that Tenant shall pay any costs associated with obtaining such agreement (which costs shall not exceed Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00)) and in no event shall obtaining such agreement be a condition to Tenant’s execution of or obligations under this Lease.

(b) All notices, demands or requests to be sent pursuant to this Lease shall be deemed to have been properly given or served by delivering or sending the same in accordance with this Article 24, addressed to the parties hereto at their respective addresses listed in Section 1.1.
(c) Notices, demands or requests sent by mail or overnight courier service as described above shall be effective upon deposit in the mail or with such courier service. However, except with respect to a notice given under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 et seq., the time period in which a response to any such notice, demand or request must be given shall commence to run from (i) in the case of delivery by mail, the date of receipt on the return receipt of the notice, demand or request by the addressee thereof, or (ii) in the case of delivery by Federal Express or other overnight courier service, the date of acceptance of delivery by an employee, officer, director or partner of Landlord or Tenant. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given, as indicated by advice from Federal Express or other overnight courier service or by mail return receipt, shall be deemed to be receipt of notice, demand or request sent. Notices may also be served by personal service upon any officer, director or partner of Landlord or Tenant, and shall be effective upon such service.

MISCELLANEOUS
25.1 LATE CHARGES
(a) All payments required hereunder (other than the Monthly Base Rent, Rent Adjustments, and Rent Adjustment Deposits, which shall be due as hereinbefore provided) to Landlord shall be paid within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s written invoice therefor together with reasonable back-up information substantiating the invoiced payments. All such amounts (including Monthly Base Rent, Rent Adjustments, and Rent Adjustment Deposits) not paid when due shall bear interest from the date due until the date paid at the Default Rate in effect on the date such payment was due.
(b) In the event Tenant is more than five (5) days late in paying any installment of Rent due under this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent installment of Rent, provided, however, that Landlord agrees to waive the first such late charge in each calendar year during the Tenn. The parties agree that (i) such delinquency will cause Landlord to incur costs and expenses not contemplated herein, the exact amount of which will be difficult to calculate, including the cost and expense that will be incurred by Landlord in processing each delinquent payment of rent by Tenant, (ii) the amount of such late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and that such late charge shall be paid to Landlord for each delinquent payment in addition to all Rent otherwise due hereunder. The parties further agree that the payment of late charges and the payment of interest provided for in subparagraph (a) above are distinct and separate from one another in that the payment of interest is to compensate Landlord for its inability to use the money improperly withheld by Tenant, while the payment of late charges is to compensate Landlord for its additional administrative expenses in handling and processing delinquent payments.
(c) Payment of interest at the Default Rate and/or of late charges shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease, nor shall the foregoing provisions of this Article or any such payments prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant’s failure to pay Rent when due, including the right to terminate this Lease.
