Exhibit 10.32
AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO LEASE
THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO LEASE (“Amendment”) is made as of June 14, 2010, by and between ST.
XXXX FIRE AND MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY, a Minnesota corporation (“Landlord”) and KIPS BAY MEDICAL,
INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).
RECITALS:
A. St. Xxxx Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Properties”) and Tenant were parties to
that certain Lease dated July 26, 2007 (the “Lease”), for premises described therein (the
“Premises”).
B. On October 9, 2009, Properties merged with and into Landlord, Properties’ only, shareholder
with Landlord being the survivor of the merger; and
C. Landlord and Tenant wish further to amend the Lease to reflect certain additional
agreements between them,
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Premises and for good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as set forth below.
AGREEMENT:
1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms shall be defined in
the manner set forth in the Lease.
2. Extension of Term. The Term of the Lease is hereby extended for a period of
thirteen (13) months commencing September 1, 2010 (the “Extension Commencement Date”) and ending on
September 30, 2011 (such period, the “Extension Term”).
3. Base Rent. During the Extension Term, Tenant shall pay Base Rent for the Premises
in the amount of $56,901.96 per annum ($4,741.83 per month), without deduction or setoff therefrom,
payable at the time and in the manner set forth in the Lease for the payment of Base Rent.
4. Amendment. The following is added as a new Paragraph 34 of the Lease:
“34. Additional Offer Space Rights. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 31 to the
contrary, and provided that Tenant is not in default under this Lease, the parties agree that,
provided Tenant notifies Landlord in writing on or before May 31, 2011, that Tenant wishes to lease
the Offer Space (the “Space Notice”), Landlord will not renew the existing lease between it and
Xxxxxxx May & Associates, Inc. (“Xxxxxxx May”), whose lease covers the Offer Space, except as
provided in this Paragraph 34.
The Space Notice shall specify the proposed commencement date for the Offer Space, which date
shall be not earlier than the earlier of (a) one hundred eighty (180) days after the
effective date (as effective date is described in Paragraph 23 of this Lease) of the Space
Notice; or (b) December 1, 2011; provided however that Landlord shall notify Tenant within ninety
(90) days after the effective date of the Space Notice whether Landlord can make the Offer Space
available as of such proposed commencement date (the “Space Availability Notice”). It is
understood and agreed that the lease between Landlord and Xxxxxxx May & Associates, Inc. (“Xxxxxxx
May”) expires on September 30, 2011 and, while, under the terms thereof, Landlord has the right to
relocate Xxxxxxx May, Landlord must comply with the requirements of the relocation provision of the
Xxxxxxx May lease. If, in the Space Availability Notice, Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord
cannot make the Offer Space available by the proposed commencement date, and Tenant wishes to
terminate this Lease, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice thereof (the “Termination Notice”)
not later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the effective date of the Space Availability Notice
(as effective date is described in Paragraph 23 hereof) and this Lease will be terminated as of the
date specified by Tenant in the Termination Notice (the “Termination Date”), which Termination Date
shall be not earlier than the ninetieth (90th) day after the effective date of the Termination
Notice and not later than the two hundred seventieth (270th) day after the effective date of the
Termination Notice, but in no event later than September 30, 2011, subject to the conditions
precedent thereto set forth in the next succeeding sentence. It is understood and agreed that if
Tenant does not deliver a Termination Notice by the thirtieth (30th) day after the effective date
of the Space Availability Notice, Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease will be deemed waived,
this Lease will continue in full force and effect (without any right of termination) and the
parties will continue to be bound thereby. In addition to the foregoing, the following shall be
conditions precedent to Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease as a result of the Space
Availability Notice: (p) Tenant shall not be in default under any of the terms and conditions of
this Lease as of the date of the Space Notice, the Space Availability Notice, the Termination
Notice or the Termination Date; and (q) not later than the Termination Date, Tenant shall have
provided Landlord with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that Tenant has leased space
elsewhere in at least the amount of 12,000 rentable square feet (which evidence may be in the form
of a fully executed letter of intent signed by Tenant and the prospective landlord), it being
understood and agreed that if Tenant does not comply with the provisions of this subparagraph (q),
this Lease shall not be terminated and Tenant shall remain bound and shall comply with all of the
terms and conditions hereof, including, without limitation, the payment of Rent through the
expiration of the Term, but nothing in the preceding clause shall be deemed an exclusive remedy of
Landlord or preclude Landlord from declaring an Event of Default under this Lease as a result of
Tenant’s failure to provide evidence that Tenant has leased the square footage referenced above and
proceeding to exercise Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease.
If the Space Availability Notice specifies that Landlord can make the Offer Space available on
the proposed commencement date, then Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith for (i) an
extension of the Extension Term and the lease by Tenant of the Offer Space, it being understood and
agreed that (i) base rent for the Premises and the Offer Space shall be the then-current Market
Rent (as defined in Paragraph 33 of this Lease); and (ii) the extended term of the lease of the
Premises and the Offer Space shall be at least five (5) years (the “Additional Space Term”), and
shall end co-terminously. If the Space Availability Notice indicates that Landlord can make the
Offer Space available on the proposed commencement date, then not later than July 31, 2011, the
parties shall cooperate in the execution of an agreement modifying the terms hereof to include the
Offer Space as part of the Premises.
- 2 -
If the parties have not entered into such agreement on or before July 31, 2011, or if Tenant
has not given the Space Notice on or before May 31, 2011, then Tenant’s right to the Offer Space
pursuant to this Paragraph shall be deemed waived, null and void and of no further force or effect,
and Landlord may renew the Xxxxxxx May lease or lease the Offer Space to any party upon any terms.
It is understood and agreed that (x) if Tenant does not deliver the Space Notice on or before
May 31, 2011, the right of first offer granted to Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 31 of this Lease
shall remain in full force and effect; provided however that Landlord shall not be obligated to
deliver a Notice From Landlord until the Offer Space becomes available for lease (as defined in
Paragraph 31) after the expiration or earlier termination of (i) the renewal term for the Xxxxxxx
May lease, as the same may be further renewed; or (ii) the term of the lease to the third party who
has leased the Offer Space (and any renewal thereof) if Xxxxxxx May does not renew; and (y)
Tenant’s exercise of its rights under this Paragraph 34 shall be deemed an exercise of the renewal
rights granted to Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 32 of this Lease.”
5. Additional Agreements.
(a) As-Is Condition. Landlord and Tenant agree that on the Extension
Commencement Date, Tenant shall accept the Premises in their then AS-IS, WITH ALL FAULTS
CONDITION. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent or employee of Landlord
has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises or any other portion of
the Building, including, without limitation, any representation or warranty with respect to
the suitability or fitness of the Premises or any other portion of the Building for the
conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises.
(b) Brokerage. Each of the parties agrees that it has had no dealings with any
broker other than NorthMarq Realty Services (Xxxxx Xxxxx) as to Landlord and Wayzata
Properties, Inc. (Xxxxx Xxxxxx) as to Tenant, and each party hereby agrees to defend,
indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against all costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees
or other liability for commissions or other compensation or charges claimed by any broker or
agent other than the brokers listed above claiming by or through Landlord or Tenant,
respectively, with respect to this Amendment.
6. Reference to and Effect on the Lease.
(a) Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Lease to “this
Lease,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of like import referring to the Lease shall
mean and be a reference to the Lease as amended hereby.
(b) Except as specifically set forth above, the Lease remains in full force and effect
and is hereby ratified and confirmed.
(c) Wherever there exists a conflict between this Amendment and the Lease, the
provisions of this Amendment shall control.

with the laws of the State of Minnesota.

taken together, shall constitute one and the same original.
