PRESENTATION OF THE PROJECT / FINANCING AGREEMENT
The Lessee wants to have, but without taking immediate ownership of, premises for industrial uses, businesses, laboratories located in MARSEILLE (Bouches du Rhône) 117, avenue de Luminy
To finance this transaction, it contacted the Lessor whose purpose defined by Article L.313-7 of the Monetary and Financial Code is renting unequipped buildings for professional uses and asked it:
• | To reimburse it for the cost of the Development Work that it carried out on the Building, |
• | to lease the whole thing to it under an Amendment to the Lease Agreement, for the remaining duration of the latter. |
This work consists of development work to transform an office space into a research laboratory
The Work does not require the issuance of a building permit or a prior declaration, as established by a certification from CCD Architecte dated July 1, 2016, appended hereto.
( APPENDIX 3: ARCHITECT CERTIFICATION )
The Lessee represents and warrants that the Work does not change the classification of the Building with respect to the regulations relating to Facilities Classified for the Protection of the Environment and the activity carried out in the Building does not fall under these regulations.
9
The Work was accepted on June 16, 2016 as is clear from the Acceptance Report attached
( APPENDIX 4: WORK ACCEPTANCE REPORT )
The Lessor agreed to this financing request within the limit of an amount excluding value-added tax of EIGHT HUNDRED FORTY-SIX THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN EUROS AND EIGHTY CENTS (846,337.80 EUR)
The Lessor repays on this date as is clear from the accounts of the undersigned notary, the sum of EIGHT HUNDRED FORTY-SIX THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SEVEN EUROS AND EIGHTY CENTS (846,337.80 EUR) excluding tax plus ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-NINE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED SIXTY- SEVEN EUROS AND FIFTY-SIX CENTS (169,267.56 EUR) for the value added tax, for a total including tax of ONE MILLION FIFTEEN THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED FIVE EUROS AND THIRTY-SIX CENTS (1,015,605.36 EUR) to the Lessee, which recognizes and agrees to this and grants it good and valid discharge.
FOR WHICH DISCHARGE IS DULY GIVEN
GENERAL PRINCIPLES
Risk transfer
The Lessee acknowledges having perfect knowledge of the legal, technical, administrative and environmental characteristics of the Property, having chosen it to meet its own needs.
It acknowledges that the role of the Lessor is limited in this transaction to ensuring, according to the following agreed conditions, the financing of Development Work
In these conditions, and although the ownership of the Property is legally attributed to the Lessor for the duration of the Lease Agreement and the Amendment, it became justified for the Lessee to assume all the risks and obligations of any kind, even those resulting from a force majeure event, which would fall, according to general law, to the builder or the owner of the Property.
Responsibilities arising from the ownership, use or structure of the Building
All decisions relating to the choice of location, the nature, quality and intended use of the Property were made previously hereto by the Lessee. The Lessor took no part in these decisions and agreed, at the request of Lessee, to ensure, within the limits set above in the Presentation, the financing of the Property.
It is hereby specified that in the event of non-compliance with all current and future regulations applicable to the Property and to the activity carried out in the premises, the Lessee shall bear all the financial consequences, including any compensation for damages so that the Lessor is in no way either sought or disturbed about this matter.
10
In addition, if the administrative or judicial authorities require the closure of the leased premises, the Rent will continue to be due with no recourse against the Lessor.
The Lessee shall be personally responsible, without recourse against the Lessor, for obtaining and maintaining all administrative authorizations required for the activity carried out in the Property, the occupancy of the premises and their opening to the public.
The Lessee also shall be personally responsible, without recourse against the Lessor, for easements of any kind, as well as current and future regulations that may change or restrict the options regarding the use, layout and consistency of the premises without being able to claim a reduction in the Rent.
It will bear at its expense and without any recourse against the Lessor, the cost of work and/or any other measures and obligations required by the relevant authorities and that would have to be done to meet the current or future legal or regulatory mandatory provisions set by national or European standards rendered applicable in France.
For the duration of the Lease Agreement, the Lessee shall hold the use, management and control of the Property. It is therefore considered to be the caretaker and this Property is placed under its exclusive responsibility, which it will have to assume or have assumed by its sub-tenants in its entirety without being able to exercise any recourse whatsoever for any reason whatsoever, against the Lessor.
The Lessee intends, despite the acquisition by the Lessor of the Property, during the period of financing, to maintain full control over the Property from a technical and economic point of view.
For the duration of the transaction, the role of the Lessor, owner of the Property, is limited, although it is the legal owner of the Property, to financing the Property within the limits agreed between the Parties and subject to the Lessee exactly fulfilling its contractual obligations.
Any damage that may be caused, both to the Lessee and to third parties, due to the structure of the Property (including that of the soil), will be fully supported by the latter, which may not, as in the previous case, exercise any recourse whatsoever for any reason whatsoever against the Lessor.
In this spirit, the Lessee shall assume alone all the rights that could be exercised against anyone, particularly with regard to non-compliant defects, constraints on the use of the Property, easements...
In this context and because of the Lessee’s responsibilities under the Lease Agreement, the Lessor gives the Lessee all powers to conduct any action, take any initiative and if necessary conduct any proceedings.
11
The Lessee will be solely responsible, at its sole expense, for any proceedings that may be initiated and continued, though it will keep the Lessor informed of these.
The Lessor, if desired, can always intervene regardless of the status of the proceedings.
The Lessee agrees to keep the Lessor informed of these actions or proceedings by forwarding the documents or exhibits concerning these actions to the Lessor.
It is in light of these introductory statements, which should always be referred to in order to justify as necessary the distribution between the Parties of the charges, obligations, responsibilities and risks and to seek their shared purpose, that the Lease Agreement is concluded.
6. AMENDMENT TO PROPERTY LEASE AGREEMENT
The Lessor hereby finances as a property lease, under the provisions of Articles L 313-7 to L 313-10 of the Monetary and Financial Code of Act No. 95-115 of February 4, 1995 (Article 57), of Decree No. 95-617 of May 6, 1995 and following texts, to the Lessee, which is accepted by its representative, the Work which is the subject matter of the Amendment

If there are changes affecting the composition and/or the definition of one or more reference rates mentioned in the Lease Agreement or if the rate or rates should disappear, and if there is a change affecting one of the bodies publishing these reference rates or the publication procedures, the parties agree to refer to the rate resulting from the modification or the substitution, and the transition from the old rate to the new rate will be carried out using the required link ratio, as appropriate.
If there is no replacement rate or link ratio, if it is necessary, it will be up to the parties to agree on the selection of a new reference rate.
In the absence of agreement between them, the replacement rate will be determined by an Arbitral Tribunal composed of three (3) selected experts, one by the Lessor, the other by the Lessee and third by agreement between the Parties. Failing agreement, this third expert will be appointed by the other two experts or otherwise by the Judge in Summary Proceedings ruling at the request of either party. This Arbitral Tribunal shall decide by a majority of its members and will make its decision within sixty (60) days of its constitution.
It is expressly agreed that the lack of a reference rate will not authorize the Lessee to delay payment of rents. The Rents will continue to be billed when due based on the rate of the last Rents billed before the reference rate ceased to be published or disappeared.
The Rents will be adjusted as soon as the replacement rate is determined.

The sale will take place under the ordinary and statutory terms and conditions in such cases, and in particular under the following terms:
● Charges and conditions

• | the Law. |

25
ARTICLE 17. LOSSES

The Lessee shall give written notice to the broker and the Lessor, within forty-eight (48) hours of its occurrence in the case of theft and within five (5) business days in other cases, of any loss suffered or caused by the Property, subject of the Lease Agreement.
It must also make all reports to the insurance companies under the conditions and within the time limits provided in each insurance policy: the Lessor hereby gives it, as necessary, a mandate to make such reports. The Lessee is prohibited from initiating any proceeding or action against the Lessor for the loss.
It will also take the necessary steps to obtain the rapid payment of compensation from the insurance companies, either on its own behalf or on behalf of the Lessor who hereby gives it all useful mandates for this purpose to perform all procedures, carry out all formalities, cause all expert assessments, participate in them; in case of difficulties, take all recourse excluding legal action.
It must, in respect of losses activating the guarantees of the structural warranty policy, use all the compensation paid by the insurance companies to repair the damage to the structures. Otherwise, the Lessee will risk an action for recovery of undue payments being initiated against it by the insurer.
In the event of legal proceedings, the Lessor shall first be warned by the Lessee of any action to be taken both as plaintiff and defendant. The Lessee shall appoint a lawyer whose specialty is directly related to the subject matter of the dispute. The Lessor reserves in any event the right to appoint its own lawyer. All fees and duties will be paid directly by the Lessee.
The Lessee agrees to keep the Lessor informed of developments in the proceedings.
The Lessee will show the Lessor all convictions that could be imposed against the latter in case of absence or inadequacy of the coverage of said policies and more generally in the event of total or partial coverage refusal by the insurer. It also will bear the costs and fees that the Lessor shall have incurred in its defense.
In the event of a loss activating the construction insurance policies (All Risks Construction or Structural Warranty policy), the Lessee undertakes to reconstitute, at its sole expense, the guarantee so that the amount of the latter is at least equivalent to what it was before the occurrence of the loss and enables, in any case, a complete reconstruction of the Property, and to justify this to the Lessor at the first request of the latter.
26
17.2. INSURANCE COMPENSATION
For losses whose compensation exceeds FIVE THOUSAND EUROS (5,000.00 EUR), the Lessor will only accept the compensation offer with the written consent of the Lessee, which shall notify its position within one month of receiving the offer.
The compensation paid after any loss shall be collected first by the Lessor, with the requirement that the Lessor repays the compensation to the Lessee upon proof that the work was done and the invoices paid.
The Lessor gives all powers to the Lessee to challenge the amount of compensation from the insurance companies or any other third party liable for this compensation, with the requirement that the Lessee keeps the Lessor informed of the progress of these challenges.
In any case the Lessee may not invoke such challenges to avoid its obligation to pay all the Rents, charges and accessories stipulated in the Lease Agreement.
The Lessee shall, in all cases, be personally responsible for any difference between the cost of full reconstruction of the structures and the amount of compensation paid by the insurers.
For losses for which the compensation is less than FIVE THOUSAND EUROS (5,000.00 EUR), the Lessee is permitted to collect the compensation to use it to carry out the repair work, the Lessor reserving the right to request any proof.
17.3. PARTIAL LOSS
As an exemption to the provisions of Article 1722 of the Civil Code, the partial destruction of the Property, even by an unforeseeable or force majeure event, will not allow the Lessee to request termination of the Lease Agreement, or payment of any compensation.
The Lessee must restore the damaged Property, at its sole expense and risk, after having obtained the necessary administrative authorizations.
If the rehabilitation of the Property cannot be done for lack of the necessary administrative authorizations, the Lessee shall have the right, without waiting for the expiration of the minimum period provided for in Article 12.1 above:
i) | to either request the termination of the Lease Agreement and the Amendment upon payment by the Lessee to the Lessor of compensation equal to the sale price stipulated in Article 12.3.2 above, and determined at the date of termination, |
ii) | or to implement the sale agreement for the Property granted in its favor, under the conditions stipulated in article 12 “SALE AGREEMENT” and for a sale prices determined in Article 12.3.2 “Advance asking price,” even before the expiration of the minimum period prescribed above. |
27
iii) | or continue the Lease Agreement and the Amendment on the useable part of the Property. The Rent will be reduced in proportion to the ratio of the amount of insurance compensation net of any taxes that may encumber it, with the sale price determined in Article 12.3.2 “Advance Asking Price” approved on the date of payment of the compensation. |
This reduction will take effect only from the date of the receipt by the Lessor of the insurance compensation.
The Lessee must inform of its option by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt within a period of one (1) month following the date on which it became aware of the impossibility to restore the Property for failure to obtain the administrative authorizations.
Otherwise, it will be deemed to have opted for the case iii) above.
The Lease Agreement will be subject to an amendment modifying the description and financial conditions to reflect the amount of compensation actually received by the Lessor, net of all fees and expenses incurred by it in particular with respect to any duties, taxes and capital gains.
Whichever option is taken by the Lessee, in cases i) and ii) above, the Lessor will transfer to it, on the day of the deed recording either the termination of the Lease Agreement or the exercise of the option, the amount of compensation received from insurance companies or any other organizations, net of all taxes and duties that may encumber this compensation, excluding corporate income tax.
The repayment to the Lessee of all compensation that can revert to it under the provisions of this Article 17.3 will not occur until the actual payment by the Lessee of all amounts that it may owe to the Lessor under the Lease Agreement, the Lessor however reserving the right to automatically offset these amounts.
17.4. TOTAL LOSS
In the event of a loss causing the total destruction of The Property, the Lease Agreement will be terminated automatically, but only at the expiration of the time periods set forth below for the benefit of the Lessee, to possibly exercise the option right reserved for it.
Nevertheless by express agreement between the Parties and by derogation to Article 1722 of the Civil Code, such termination will trigger the obligation for the Lessee to pay the Lessor compensation equal to the sale price of the Property determined in Article 12.3.2 of the Lease Agreement, “Advance Asking Price,” said price calculated on the date of termination, plus, if applicable, any costs of restoring the land after the loss (including demolition and removal of remains).
28
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Lessee shall have the option:
• | either to implement the sale agreement under the conditions specified in Articles 12.2 and 12.3 above, |
• | or (and by express derogation to the provisions of Article 1722 of the Civil Code) to continue the Lease Agreement by proceeding with the reconstruction of the Property at its sole expense and risk, after having obtained the necessary administrative authorizations. |
The Lessee must inform of its option within six (6) months from the day of the loss, by means of a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt.
In the event that the Lessee would opt for the continuation of the Lease Agreement, the necessary administrative authorizations should be obtained by the Lessee within one (1) year from the date of notification of its option; otherwise the Lease Agreement would be automatically terminated under the conditions stipulated above, unless the Lessee prefers, in the same period of one (1) year, to opt for the implementation of the sale agreement.
Whichever option is taken by the Lessee, the Lessor will transfer to it the amount of compensation received from insurance companies or any other organizations, net of all taxes and duties that may encumber this compensation, excluding corporate income tax.
The repayment to the Lessee of all compensation that can revert to it under the provisions of this Article 17.4 will not occur until the actual payment by the Lessee of all amounts that it may owe to the Lessor under the Lease Agreement, the Lessor however reserving the right to automatically offset these amounts.

• | as part of a project management delegation contract that will be regularized with the Lessor and under which the Lessee will, in particular, agree to purchase the necessary construction insurance, |
• | on the basis of an estimate of the work and plans established by the Lessee at its own expense and under its responsibility, |
• | and under the control and supervision of an architect or an engineering firm chosen by the Lessee, authorized, if necessary by the Lessor. Fees for the architects and engineering firms will be included in the reconstruction or restoration costs. |
17.7. PROVISIONS RELATING TO RENTS
In all cases of a loss where the Lessee opted for the repair or reconstruction of the Property and thus for the continuation of the Lease Agreement and the Amendment,
29
the Lessee will continue to pay, for the period elapsed since the date of the loss until the actual reconstruction, all Rents, charges and accessories stipulated in the Lease Agreement and the Amendment as long as the Lessor has not been compensated by the insurance company, under the Loss of Rent guarantee.
PART III
GUARANTEES

This stipulation does not however preclude the issuance of the enforceable copy to the Lessor.
PART IV
MISCELLANEOUS
ARTICLE 19. COSTS - ASSESSMENTS
All the costs hereof and all those that will follow or result from it will be the responsibility of the Lessee, who agrees.
For the calculation of the costs only, the parties declare that the amount of the Investment of the Lessor is valued at the sum excluding tax of EIGHT HUNDRED FORTY-SIX THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED THIRTY-SEVEN EUROS AND EIGHTY CENTS
30
(846,337.80 EUR) and the sum including the Value Added Tax of ONE MILLION FIFTEEN THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED FIVE EUROS AND THIRTY-SIX CENTS (1,015,605.36 EUR).
This Lease Agreement will be subject to registration formalities.
ARTICLE 20. INSEPARABILITY OF THE CONTRACTS
All the provisions of the Lease Agreement that are not contrary hereto, shall continue to apply to all agreements.
It is expressly stipulated between the parties that the Lease Agreement and the Amendment will be inseparable from each other and will form, in relations between the parties, a single and indivisible agreement.
Accordingly, all events whatsoever that could, by reason of the provisions of the Lease Agreement and the Amendment, affect either of the two agreements, will apply ipso facto and automatically to both agreements which are considered to be one transaction.
This will be the case in particular:
• | for the termination of the lease agreement at the request of the Lessee, such a request applying automatically to both agreements, even if it is made for only one of them. |
• | for any transfer of the right to the lease agreement which will necessarily concern the subject matter of both lease agreements, this agreement being necessary even in case of transfer of the benefit of only one of the agreements to the successor in the business. |
• | for the termination or rescinding of either of the two contracts under the termination clause inserted in it, for failure by the LESSEE to perform any of its obligations: such a rescinding would affect both agreements automatically and the compensation which would be due would be established by the addition of the compensation due under each of the contracts. |
• | in the event of a loss affecting all or part of the premises given in lease the agreement: it is expressly agreed in this regard, for the application of the provisions of the two contracts in question relating to the total loss, that only a loss that would cause the total destruction of the object of the two agreements would be considered a total loss. Any other loss, even one that caused the total destruction of the object of only one agreement, will be considered a partial loss. |
In addition, it is expressly stipulated that:
• | For the application of the provisions relating to losses, the termination of the lease agreement or early implementation of the sale agreement will apply automatically to both lease agreements, even if the request of the Lessee was limited to only one of these two agreements |
31
• | In the case of partial loss not followed by reconstruction for failure to obtain the necessary administrative authorizations: that the compensation payable by the Lessee to the Lessor like the reduction in rent and the sale price will therefore be determined based on the financial conditions of the agreement applying to the partially damaged property |
• | But however, if the loss partially affects the object of both lease agreements, the amount of compensation payable by the Lessee as well as the reduction of rent and the sale price will be determined separately for the object of each of the two agreements, according to the financial conditions of the relevant agreement; to this end, the assessment of the building’s depreciation (either by the agreement of the parties or by an expert) will be made separately for the object of each of the two agreements. |
• | in the event of the expropriation of the building: in this regard, it was agreed that only expropriation that would affect the entire building, object of both agreements, would be considered as expropriation, and that partial expropriation would be considered subject to the provisions for this case, the expropriation which would concern part of the premises, that part would itself constitute the entire object of one of the two agreements. Furthermore, the above rules established for the reduction of rent and the sale price in the event of a partial loss not followed by reconstruction, will be applied to the reduction of rent and the sale price set for the case of partial expropriation. |
• | for the sale agreement for the premises which may only be exercised by the LESSEE for the entire building, the object of both lease agreements. Any request to execute the sale of only part of the premises, should that part constitute the entire object of one of the two agreements, would be considered null and void |
