ARTICLE 3 - DEMISED PREMISES
3.1 Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the Premises, which are situated within the Building as shown in Exhibit A and described in Exhibit B. This Lease is subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth, and Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration of this Lease to keep and perform each and all of such terms, covenants and conditions to be kept and performed by it.
Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1938, Landlord hereby discloses that as of the date of this Lease, the Premises has not been inspected by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp). A CASp can inspect the Premises and determine whether the Premises complies with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under State law. Although State law does not require a CASp inspection for the Premises, Landlord may not prohibit Tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the Premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of Tenant, if requested by Tenant. In such event, the Parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the Premises.
3.2 Definition of “Floor Area”. The term “Floor Area,” as used throughout this Lease, shall mean and include the square footage of the Premises (or, where applicable, of any other premises or building of the Project) from the exterior surface of building of which the Premises are a part (“Building”) walls (and extensions thereof, in the case of openings), from the exterior surface of perimeter demising partitions, from the center line of interior demising partitions or vertical neutral strips and from any “lease line,” all of which form the perimeter of the Premises or such other premises or building without deduction for openings, columns, sprinklers risers, roof drains, vents, piping, waste lines, conduit, ventilation shafts and other such items serving the Premises or other tenant spaces.
ARTICLE 4 - TERM
4.1 Commencement of Term. This Lease shall become legally binding on the Parties as of the Effective Date, the Lease Term shall commence on the Commencement Date, and both this Lease and the Lease Term shall continue in effect until the Expiration Date or such earlier date as this Lease is terminated in accordance herewith. Xxxxxxxx agrees to deliver to Tenant, and Xxxxxx agrees to accept from Landlord, possession of the Premises in the condition described in Article 4.2 hereof and Exhibit C. Notice from Landlord that the Premises are being delivered in the above-described condition shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing definition of “Commencement Date,” the Parties agree that, excepting for the payment of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent, the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall commence upon the Effective Date, including, without limitation, the obligations of Tenant pursuant to Exhibit C attached hereto and Articles 9 and 14 of this Lease. To the fullest extent legally permissible, Tenant waives the provisions of all laws now or hereafter existing which allow a tenant to terminate its Lease for failure of Landlord to deliver possession thereof.
4.2 As-Is Delivery. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED – Tenant is presently occupying the Premises pursuant to a prior lease (the “Prior Lease”).
4.3 Lease Year. The first “Lease Year” shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall end on the last day of the calendar month following the first (1st) anniversary of the Minimum Rent Start Date; thereafter a Lease Year shall consist of successive periods of twelve (12) calendar months. The period from the end of the last full Lease Year through the end of the Term, or the Expiration Date, shall constitute the “Final Partial Lease Year” and Minimum Rent and all Rent shall be apportioned therefore.

ARTICLE 5 - RENT

CA Lease Revision 8.0 – Torrey Hills Corporate Center Tenant /s/ KA____
Skye Bioscience Lease
5.1 Minimum Rent. Xxxxxx agrees to pay to Landlord, at the times and in the manner herein provided, the Minimum Rent specified in Article 2.1. Tenant’s obligation to pay Minimum Rent shall commence on the Minimum Rent (“MAR”) Start Date and said Minimum Rent shall be payable in advance in twelve (12) equal monthly installments on the first day of each month, without deduction, offset or prior notice or demand, and shall be delinquent if not so paid on the first day of each month. The first monthly installment of Minimum Rent, however, shall be paid upon Xxxxxx’s execution and delivery of this Lease to Landlord. If the MAR Start Date falls on a day of the month other than the first day of such month, the Minimum Rent for the first fractional month shall accrue on a daily basis for the period from the MAR Start Date to the end of such fractional calendar month at a rate equal to 1/360th of the Minimum Rent per day. All other payments required to be made under the terms of this Lease that require pro-ration on a time basis shall be prorated on the same daily basis. In the event that the MAR Start Date has not occurred within two (2) years from the date hereof for any reason this Lease may be terminated at Landlord’s sole discretion upon 30 days prior written notice to Xxxxxx, and both Parties shall be relieved from any and all liability hereunder.
5.2 Minimum Rent Adjustment. The Minimum Rent payable under the provisions of Article 5.1 shall be adjusted, as herein provided. Commencing the first day of the second Lease Year, the Minimum Rent shall be increased as set forth in Article 2.1.
5.3 Security Deposit. Concurrently with Xxxxxx’s execution of this Lease, Xxxxxx has deposited with Landlord the Security Deposit set forth in Article 2.1. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant during the Lease Term. It is expressly understood and agreed by Xxxxxx that the Security Deposit does not constitute an advance payment of rental nor a measure or limitation on Landlord’s damages in case of a default by Xxxxxx. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including, but not limited to, any provision relating to the payment of rent, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, retain and apply all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer as a result of Tenant’s default. Tenant hereby waives its right to the return of the security deposit as set forth in Civil Code Section 1950.7 and acknowledges that Landlord may apply the security deposit to the rent in default and any other loss or damage arising out of Tenant’s default under this Lease. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after Landlord’s demand therefore, deposit with Landlord, in such form of payment as Landlord shall specify, an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall constitute a material default under this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease, the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder) within ten (10) days following the later to occur of (i) expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term or (ii) vacation of the Premises by Tenant. In the event of a termination of Xxxxxxxx’s interest in this Lease, the Security Deposit, or any portion thereof not previously applied, may be released by Landlord to Landlord’s successor-in-interest and, if so released, Xxxxxx agrees to look solely to such successor-in-interest for proper application of the Security Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Article 5.3 and the return thereof in accordance herewith. The holder of a mortgage or the beneficiary of a deed of trust encumbering the property which includes the Premises shall not be responsible to Tenant for the return or application of any such Security Deposit, whether or not such holder or beneficiary succeeds to the position of Landlord hereunder unless such Security Deposit shall have been actually received by such holder or beneficiary.
5.4 Percentage Rent – INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
5.5 Monthly Statement and Annual Statement of Gross Sales –
INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
5.6 Premises Taxes. Commencing on the first day of the Minimum Rent Start Date and each month for the balance of the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord, without offset or deduction, such estimated minimum amount as Landlord shall reasonably determine is necessary to enable Landlord to pay, when due the excess of the “Premises Taxes” (as defined in Article 5.7) in the applicable calendar year over the Base Taxes (as defined in Article 5.8), the “Premises Taxes” (as defined in Article 5.7). From time to time, Landlord shall adjust Tenant’s estimated amount to match the actual amount of Premises Taxes. In the event that the property tax assessor does not assess the Premises separately, but assesses a larger parcel that includes the Premises, the allocation of the total property taxes that represents the Premises Taxes shall be that fraction of the total property taxes assessed against the land and improvements upon such larger parcel whose numerator is the Floor Area of the Premises and whose denominator is the total Floor Areas of all buildings located within such larger parcel that are available for
7 Landlord /s/ RS____
CA Lease Revision 8.0 – Torrey Hills Corporate Center Tenant /s/ KA____
Skye Bioscience Lease
occupancy from time to time as of the first day of each calendar quarter. During any portion of the Lease Term which is less than a full tax fiscal year, Xxxxxx’s obligation for Premises Taxes shall be prorated on a daily basis. Xxxxxx agrees to cooperate and facilitate all reviews and/or appeals of property tax bills, including non-advalorem charges. Tenant hereby agrees to provide all requested documents that may be needed to perform a review and/or appeal of property tax bill items, such as, but not limited to, Sanitation District charges. Such requests may include: authorizing agents chosen by Landlord to act on behalf of Tenant (including signed authorization letter), copies of all water bills received by Tenant, participation in communication to agencies, etc. Upon Xxxxxxxx’s request for cooperation, Xxxxxx hereby agrees to respond to such inquiries within thirty (30) days of request and to the best of their ability.
5.7 Definition of “Premises Taxes”. As used herein, the term “Premises Taxes” are any or all of the following taxes, levied and assessed against the Premises during any tax fiscal year: general, special, ordinary, extraordinary, supplemental real property and improvement taxes, any form of assessment, re-assessment, license fee, license tax, business license tax, commercial rental tax, in-lieu tax, levy, charge, penalty sewer or water charges (hook-up or otherwise) or similar imposition however imposed by any authority having the direct power to tax, including any city, county, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural, lighting, drainage or other improvement or special assessment district thereof, or any agency or public body, as against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord or Tenant in the Premises and/or the Project including, but not limited to:
(a) any tax on Landlord’s rent, right to rent or other income from the Premises or as against Landlord’s business of leasing the Premises;
(b) any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in addition to, or in partial or total substitution of, any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real property taxes; (Tenant and Landlord acknowledge that Proposition 13 was adopted by the people of the State of California in June 1978 and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants. It is the intention of Tenant and Landlord that all such new, increased and/or similar assessments, taxes, fees, levies, and charges be included within the definition of “Taxes” for the purposes of this Lease.);
(c) any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the rent payable hereunder including, but not limited to, any gross income tax with respect to the receipt of such rent, or upon or concerning the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy of the Premises, or any portion thereof, by Tenant; and any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge upon this Lease transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge which is imposed or assessed as a result of any and all changes in ownership (as that term is used in Article 13A of the California Constitution and/or California Revenue and Taxation Code Sections 60, et seq.) of the Project, or any portion thereof, or which is added to a tax or charge hereinbefore included within the definition of Premises Taxes by reason of such transfer(s); and (f) any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge which is imposed or assessed as a result of any and all alterations, additions or improvements to the Project or any portion thereof.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Premises Taxes do not include Landlord’s federal or state income, franchise, inheritance, estate or gift taxes, nor any property taxes on the common area that are included in Operating Costs (see Article 18.2).
With respect to any assessment which may be levied against or upon the Premises and which under applicable law may be evidenced by improvement or other bonds, or may be paid in annual installments, there shall be included within the definition of “Premises Taxes,” with respect to any tax fiscal year, only the amount currently payable on such bonds, including interest, for such tax fiscal year, or the current annual installment or semi-annual installments for such tax fiscal year.
Landlord shall be entitled to all tax credits, carbon credits and other credits or entitlements (“Green Credits”) that may be created, credited, provided or recoverable due to energy savings or other sustainable activities conducted or provided in the Building and/or the Premises (exclusive of Green Credits to which Tenant is entitled in accordance with applicable law). Landlord shall further be entitled to allocate, as it reasonably determines, any Green Credits created or provided with Tenant’s and other tenants’ participation.
5.8 Base Taxes. “Base Taxes” means Premises Taxes for the calendar year specified as the Base Year in Article 2 of this Lease. If the amount of Premises Taxes imposed with respect to the Project increases during the Base Year for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any transfer of title to the Building or
8 Landlord /s/ RS____
CA Lease Revision 8.0 – Torrey Hills Corporate Center Tenant /s/ KA____
Skye Bioscience Lease
any construction of improvements at the Project), then for the purpose of calculating Base Taxes, Premises Taxes for the Base Year shall be calculated based upon the Premises Taxes that would have been imposed for the entire Base Year if such increase had occurred before the commencement of the Base Year.
5.8 Late Charges. Tenant acknowledges that Xxxxxx’s late payment to Landlord of rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed upon Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Xxxxxxxx’s designee when due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) or ten percent (10%) of the amount due whichever is greater, provided that such amount will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, plus any attorney fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay rent and/or other charges when due hereunder. The Parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of Xxxxxx’s late payment. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of its other rights and remedies granted hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Tenant pays Rent late three (3) times in any twelve (12) month period, then (in addition to the late charge stated herein, as well as any other rights and remedies accruing under this Lease, or any other term, provision or covenant of this Lease at law or in equity) at Landlord’s election, Landlord may cancel this Lease or Landlord may require that Minimum Rent is to be paid quarterly in advance instead of monthly and that all future rental payments are to be made on or before the due date by cash, cashier’s check or money order, and that the delivery of Tenant’s personal or corporate check will no longer constitute a payment of Rent as provided in this Lease.
5.9 Interest. Tenant shall pay Landlord when due all sums of money required to be paid pursuant to this Lease. If any amount or charge is not paid at the time this Lease requires, such amount or charge shall nevertheless be collectible with the next installment of Minimum Rent thereafter falling due, but nothing herein contained shall be deemed to suspend or delay the payment of any amount of money or charge at the time the same becomes due and payable hereunder, or limit any other remedy of Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to pay, when the same is due and payable, any rent or other charge, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest at the maximum lawful rate from the date due to the date of payment.
5.10 Returned Checks. If Tenant pays any amount to Landlord by means of a check on an account with insufficient funds, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Landlord with respect to such default, Landlord shall have the right to charge Tenant a service charge of $75.00 per occurrence.
5.12 Additional Rental. In addition to Minimum Annual Rental, Tenant shall pay to Landlord when due each sum of money required to be paid pursuant to this Article 5, Article 16, Article 18, and any other portion of this Lease as additional rent, whether or not the same is designated as additional rent. In addition to the Minimum Annual Rent payable hereunder, Tenant shall pay Landlord as “Additional Rent” for each calendar year following the Base Year or each portion thereof during the Term Tenant’s Share of the sum of (x) the amount (if any) by which Operating Costs for such period exceed Base Operating Costs, and (y) the amount (if any) by which Premises Taxes for such period exceed Base Taxes.
Prior to the end of the Base Year and each calendar year thereafter, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s estimate of Operating Costs, Premises Taxes and Tenant’s Additional Rent for the following calendar year. Commencing on the first day of January of each calendar year following the Base Year and continuing on the first day of every month thereafter in such year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated Additional Rent. If Landlord thereafter estimates that Operating Costs or Premises Taxes for such year will vary from Landlord’s prior estimate, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, revise the estimate for such year (and Additional Rent shall thereafter be payable based on the revised estimate).
As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the Base Year and each calendar year thereafter, Landlord shall furnish Tenant a statement with respect to such year, showing Operating Costs, Premises Taxes and Additional Rent for the year, and the total payments made by Tenant with respect thereto (“Expense Statement”). Unless Tenant raises any objections to Landlord’s Expense Statement within ninety (90) days after receipt of the same, such Expense Statement shall conclusively be deemed correct and Tenant shall have no right thereafter to dispute such Expense Statement or any item therein or the computation of Additional Rent based thereon. If Tenant does object to such Expense Statement, then Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable verification of the figures shown on the Expense Statement and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any
9 Landlord /s/ RS____
CA Lease Revision 8.0 – Torrey Hills Corporate Center Tenant /s/ KA____
Skye Bioscience Lease
disputes. Any objection of Tenant to Landlord’s Expense Statement and resolution of any dispute shall not postpone the time for payment of any amounts due Tenant or Landlord based on Landlord’s Expense Statement, nor shall any failure of Landlord to deliver Landlord’s Expense Statement in a timely manner relieve Tenant of Tenant’s obligation to pay any amounts due Landlord based on Landlord’s Expense Statement.
If Xxxxxx’s Additional Rent as finally determined for any calendar year exceeds the total payments made by Tenant on account thereof, Tenant shall pay Landlord the deficiency within ten (10) days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Expense Statement. If the total payments made by Tenant on account thereof exceed Xxxxxx’s Additional Rent as finally determined for such year, Xxxxxx’s excess payment shall be credited toward the rent next due from Tenant under this Lease. For any partial calendar year at the beginning or end of the Term, Additional Rent shall be prorated on the basis of a 365-day year by computing Tenant’s Share of the increases in Operating Costs and Premises Taxes over the Base Year or Base Taxes, as applicable, for the entire year and then prorating such amount for the number of days during such year included in the Term. Notwithstanding the termination of this Lease, Landlord shall pay to Tenant or Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as the case may be, within ten (10) days after Xxxxxx’s receipt of Landlord’s final Expense Statement for the calendar year in which this Lease terminates, the difference between Xxxxxx’s Additional Rent for that year, as finally determined by Landlord, and the total amount previously paid by Tenant on account thereof.
If for any reason Base Taxes or Premises Taxes for any year during the Term are reduced, refunded or otherwise changed, Tenant’s Additional Rent shall be adjusted accordingly. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this paragraph, if Premises Taxes are temporarily reduced as a result of space in the Building being leased to a tenant that is entitled to an exemption from property taxes or other taxes, then for purposes of determining Additional Rent for each year in which Premises Taxes are reduced by any such exemption, Premises Taxes for such year shall be calculated on the basis of the amount the Premises Taxes for the year would have been in the absence of the exemption. The obligations of Landlord to refund any overpayment of Additional Rent and of Tenant to pay any Additional Rent not previously paid shall survive the expiration of the Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if there is at any time a decrease in Taxes below the amount of the Taxes for the Base Year, then for purposes of calculating Additional Rent for the year in which such decrease occurs and all subsequent periods, Base Taxes shall be reduced to equal the Premises Taxes for the year in which the decrease occurs.
To the extent they exceed the amounts of the applicable costs during the Base Year, or Base Taxes, as applicable, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of all Premises Taxes, impositions, insurance premiums, operating charges, maintenance charges, security costs, Operating Costs and other charges, costs and expenses which arise or may be contemplated under any provision of this Lease or otherwise becoming due by virtue of the activities and/or business of Tenant prior to and during the Lease Term hereof, all of which shall be Additional Rent. In the event Tenant fails to pay any Additional Rent, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies as otherwise provided in this Lease for the failure of Tenant to pay Minimum Annual Rent. It is the intention of the Parties hereto that this Lease shall not be terminable for any reason by Tenant, and that Tenant shall in no event be entitled to any abatement of or reduction in Minimum Annual Rent or Additional Rent payable under this Lease, except as expressly provided herein. The covenants of Landlord and Tenant hereunder are independent, except that Xxxxxx’s performance of its obligations under this Lease shall be a condition to Landlord’s performance under this Lease. Any present or future law to the contrary shall not alter this agreement of the Parties. If Tenant shall fail to pay, when due, any rent or other charge, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the maximum lawful rate from the date due through the date of payment. Minimum Annual Rent and all Additional Rent are sometimes collectively referred to herein as “rent.” The sum of all amounts of rent payable in a given month shall be deemed to constitute a single rental obligation of Tenant.
5.13 Xxxxxx’s Share. “Tenant’s Share” means the Floor Area of the Premises divided by the total Floor Area of the Building, as set forth in Article 2. If the Floor Area of the Building is changed or the Floor Area of the Premises is changed by Xxxxxx’s leasing of additional space hereunder or for any other reason, Xxxxxx’s Share shall be adjusted accordingly. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to equitably allocate some or all of the Operating Costs and Taxes among different tenants of the Building; provided, however, that all commercial office-type tenants (as distinguished from retail and other shopping center-type tenants) shall be treated equally.
5.14 Place of Payment. Tenant shall pay Landlord all rent at the address specified for Place of Payment in Article 2.1, or at such other place of which Landlord shall notify Tenant from time to time.

INTENTIONALLY DELETED
ARTICLE 7 - PERMISSIBLE USE
7.1 Permitted Uses. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the purpose and under the trade name specified in Article 2.1, and Tenant shall not use nor permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose or purposes or under any other trade name whatsoever without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole, absolute and arbitrary discretion.
7.2 Prohibited Uses. Tenant shall not use, nor suffer or permit any person or persons to use the Premises or any part thereof for any use or purpose contrary to the Rules and Regulations of the Project as set forth in Exhibit G, as the same may be amended by Landlord from time to time, or for any use or purpose in violation of the laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of California, or the ordinances, regulations or requirements of the local, municipal or county governing bodies or any other lawful governmental or quasi-governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Project, or for any use or purpose in violation of any regulations of any insurance carrier providing insurance for the Premises or Building.
7.3 Duties and Prohibited Conduct. Tenant shall keep the Premises clean and orderly, free from all offensive noise, odor, light and/or displays. Tenant shall not conduct or operate its business in any manner that (i) could jeopardize or increase the costs for any fire or other insurance on the Premises or Building, or (ii) may constitute a nuisance to, or interfere with, other property of Landlord or its business, or the property or business of other tenants of the Building. Tenant may not display or sell merchandise, or allow carts, portable signs, devices or any other objects to be stored or to remain outside the defined exterior walls or roof or permanent doorways of the Premises, or in the hallways within the Premises. Any sign placed or erected by Xxxxxx and permitted hereunder, shall be kept by Tenant safe, secure and in conformance with the requirements of the local governing body having jurisdiction over the Project and each of the restrictions and requirements set forth in Exhibit F. No aerial or antenna shall be erected on the roof or exterior walls of the Premises without, in each instance, the prior written consent of Landlord. Any aerial or antenna so installed without such written consent shall be subject to removal by Landlord, Landlord’s agents, and/or Landlord’s employees, without notice at any time. In addition, Xxxxxx agrees that it will not solicit in any manner in any of the automobile parking and common areas of the Project or on sidewalks or walkways adjacent to the Project.
7.4 Rights Granted to Other Tenants. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may grant, or may have previously granted, exclusive rights to other tenants at the Building and a material consideration to Landlord in entering into this Lease is Tenant’s covenant to limit its use of the Premises to the permitted use of the Premises under Xxxxxx’s trade name. The violation by Tenant of the exclusive rights granted to other tenant(s) of the Building will result in Landlord suffering irreparable harm and, therefore, in addition to the other rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may seek to enjoin Tenant’s breach of this Article 7.4, and Tenant shall be liable for any damages incurred or sustained by Landlord to such other tenant whose exclusive use right was breached by Tenant. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any failure of other tenants in the Building to operate their business, or for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of other tenants or third parties.
7.5 Leasing to Other Tenants. Tenant specifically acknowledges that by the provisions of this Article 7.5, that Landlord has not granted to Tenant any exclusive business right within the Building or elsewhere. The Permitted Use of the Premises shall only limit Tenant’s use thereof in accordance with this Article 7. No exclusive business right shall be implied or inferred. Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Building and to use, permit or occupy portions of the Building for retail and/or non-retail uses, including but not limited to office, residential, hotel/motel, or otherwise, as Landlord shall determine, in the exercise of its sole and absolute business judgment, is best to promote the interests of the Project. Tenant shall not rely on the fact, nor does Landlord represent, that any specific tenant or occupant or number or type of tenants or occupants or types of uses shall or shall not during the Lease Term occupy any space in the Building, nor does Tenant rely on any other tenant or tenants or occupants operating its or their business and affairs at the Project at any particular time or times. Moreover, no conduct by any tenant, subtenant, licensee, concessionaire, owner, or other occupant of, customer of, supplier to or use of any portion of the Project by others shall constitute an eviction, constructive or otherwise, of Tenant from the Premises, and Tenant hereby waives any and all claims that, but for this sentence, it might have against Landlord by reason of such conduct by one or more of such persons and entities.
7.6 Deliveries. Tenant shall use its best efforts to complete or cause to be completed all deliveries, loading, unloading and services to the Premises prior to 10:00 a.m. of each day. Tenant shall not cause, and shall use its best efforts to prevent, delivery trucks or other vehicles servicing the Premises from parking or
11 Landlord /s/ RS____

standing in service areas for undue periods of time. Landlord further reserves the right to reasonably regulate the activities of Tenant in regard to deliveries and servicing of the Premises, and Xxxxxx agrees to abide by such further reasonable rules and regulations which Landlord may impose from time to time.
7.7 Title of Premises. Landlord covenants that, as of the Effective Date, the Premises are not subject to any lien, claim or encumbrance that would limit or restrict the rights granted to Tenant set forth herein.
7.8 Charge for Unpermitted Use. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Xxxxxx’s use of the Premises for any business or purpose other than the purpose set forth in Article 2.1 above will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, administrative and legal fees incurred to address complaints from other tenants in the Building, including claims that Tenant is violating the exclusive use rights of other tenants. Accordingly, if Xxxxxx uses the Premises for any business or purpose other than the purpose set forth in Article 2.1 above, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord an unpermitted use charge in the amount of $1,000, plus any attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s unpermitted use of the Premises, per occurrence. The Parties hereby agree that such unpermitted use charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur by reason of Xxxxxx’s unpermitted use of the Premises. Acceptance of such unpermitted use charges by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such unpermitted use, limit or cap Tenant’s liability for Landlord’s damages caused by Xxxxxx’s unpermitted use, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
7.9 Energy and Environmental Initiatives. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Landlord is committed to employing sustainable operating and maintenance practices for the Project and/or the Building, including but not limited to, reducing the carbon footprint by reducing the energy consumption and reducing water consumption in the Common Areas of the Project. Landlord shall track energy consumption data of the Common Areas on a monthly basis based upon available data and water usage of the Common Areas on at least a quarterly basis based upon available data. Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord in any programs in which Landlord may elect to participate relating to the Building’s (i) energy efficiency, management and conservation; (ii) water conservation and management; (iii) environmental standards and efficiency; (iv) recycling and reduction programs; and/or (v) safety, which participation may include, without limitation, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program and related Green Building Rating System promoted by the U.S. Green Building Council and any other sustainability and well-being focused certification such as, but not limited to, the Institute for Real Estate Management Certified Sustainability Properties (REM CSP), certification, BREEAM certification, Green Globes certification, Fitwel certification and WELL certification. All carbon tax credits and similar credits, offsets and deductions are the sole and exclusive property of Landlord. Tenant affirms its support of these practices, and agrees to cooperate with Landlord by implementing reasonable conservation practices. Periodically, Landlord may offer additional examples, guidance and practices related to energy conservation measures, which Xxxxxx agrees to consider for implementation. In connection with the foregoing, the following shall apply:
Issues related to sustainability and energy, including but not limited to retrofit projects, billing issues, energy efficiency upgrades, and data access shall be discussed by the Parties as reasonably necessary. Xxxxxxxx’s and Xxxxxx’s respective “Sustainability Contact” information is set forth in Article 2.1 of this Lease.
Further, all in-house leasing agents of Landlord shall complete at least one hour of sustainability training covering the fundamentals of energy efficiency in commercial buildings as feasible.
Should any specific practice(s) proposed by Landlord be deemed to be inconsistent with Tenant’s business operations, Tenant shall so advise Landlord in writing as its reason for declining to implement such specific practice(s).
ARTICLE 8 - UTILITIES
8.1 Landlord shall furnish to the Premises reasonable amounts of heat, ventilation and air-conditioning during the Minimum HVAC Hours of Monday through Friday during the hours of 7:00 am to 6:00 pm and Saturday during the hours of 9:00 am to 1:00 pm (“Minimum HVAC Hours”) except for the date of observation of New Year’s Day, President’s Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day (collectively, the “Holidays”); reasonable amounts of electricity; and janitorial services five days a week (except public holidays).

Landlord shall also provide the Building with normal fluorescent tube replacement, window washing, elevator service, and common area
12 Landlord /s/ RS____
CA Lease Revision 8.0 – Torrey Hills Corporate Center Tenant /s/ KA____
Skye Bioscience Lease
toilet room supplies. At its own expense, Tenant shall pay for all water, power, gas, electric current, telephone service, sewage removal and all other utilities used by Tenant on or at the Premises from and after the Commencement Date. In the event that any utilities are furnished to the Premises by Landlord, whether sub-metered or otherwise, then and in that event Tenant shall pay Landlord for such utilities, but the rates charged to Tenant by Landlord shall not exceed those of the public utility company furnishing same to Landlord as if its services were being furnished directly to Tenant. If a separate meter is provided to or required by Tenant or the utility provider for any such utilities, it shall be installed and maintained at Tenant’s expense. In the event any utility provided to the Premises is not separately metered, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord its equitable share of such costs as determined by Landlord in its sole judgment. Any additional utilities or services that Landlord may agree to provide (including lamp or tube replacement for other than Building standard lighting fixtures) shall be at Tenant’s sole expense.
8.2 Payment for Additional Utilities and Services.
(a) If, in its sole and absolute discretion, Landlord elects to furnish HVAC service to office space tenants of the Building at times other than Minimum HVAC Hours on business days, then, upon request by Tenant in accordance with the procedures established by Landlord from time to time for furnishing such HVAC service, Landlord shall furnish such service to Tenant and Tenant shall pay for such services on an hourly basis at the then prevailing rate established for the Building by Landlord.
(b) Tenant shall bear the cost of replacement of lamps, starters and ballasts for lighting fixtures within the Premises.
(c) If the temperature otherwise maintained in any portion of the Premises by the HVAC systems of the Building is affected as a result of (i) any lights, machines or equipment used by Tenant in the Premises, or (ii) the occupancy of the Premises by more than one person per 150 square feet of rentable area, then following notice and warning and repeated occurrence by Tenant Landlord shall have the right to install any machinery or equipment reasonably necessary to restore the temperature, including modifications to the standard air-conditioning equipment. The cost of any such equipment and modifications, including the cost of installation and any additional cost of operation and maintenance of the same, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.
(d) If Tenant’s usage of electricity, water or any other utility service exceeds the use of such utility Landlord determines to be typical, normal and customary for the office portion of the Building, Landlord may determine the amount of such excess use by any reasonable means (including the installation at Landlord’s request but at Tenant’s expense of a separate meter or other measuring device) and, upon providing notice, then charge Tenant for the cost of such excess usage. In addition, Landlord may impose a reasonable charge for the use of any additional or unusual janitorial services required by Tenant because of any unusual Tenant Improvements or Alterations, the carelessness of Tenant or the nature of Tenant’s business (including hours of operation). In no event shall Tenant’s usage of electrical power exceed 100 amps. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, Tenant shall not connect or use any apparatus or device in the Premises using current in excess of 110 volts.
8.3 Utility Service Provider. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event there is more than one utility provider offering service to the Building, Landlord shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to select to provider(s) and to enter into exclusive arrangements with such providers. In making such decision, Landlord shall consider relative environmental impacts of each provider, in addition to the cost of service and such other factors as Landlord deems reasonably relevant. If Landlord elects to install an on-site electricity generation system, including without limitation, photovoltaic solar panels, Tenant shall purchase energy from, on-site renewables as provided by Landlord via a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). In such event, Landlord shall install, own and maintain the onsite generation and sell power directly to Tenant at a fixed rate that is at or below the rate for electricity offered by local utility companies and Landlord shall install an electric meter or submeter to service the Premises to measure the consumption of electricity in the Premises. Landlord shall charge and Tenant shall pay as an additional charge hereunder such amounts as are invoiced by Landlord for Tenant’s actual electricity usage as measured by such submeter, without markup by Landlord. If and to the extent applicable, Landlord shall make appropriate adjustments to the electricity charges included in Operating Costs so that Tenant’s proportionate share of the cost thereof will not include amounts which are separately metered or sub-metered and paid for by Tenant.
Landlord shall have the right to adjust the utility services provided under this Lease as reasonably necessary in order to comply with any applicable, mandatory laws, rules or regulations relating the energy usage and/or environmental performance and/or to participate in any voluntary energy savings or environmental performance programs. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to minimize the disruption to Xxxxxx’s business

related to compliance with such laws, rules or regulations, provided that Landlord shall have no liability with respect thereto.
8.4 Interruption of Services. In the event of an interruption in or failure or inability to provide any services or utilities to the Premises or Building for any reason (a “Service Failure”), such Service Failure shall not, regardless of its duration, impose upon Landlord any liability whatsoever, constitute an eviction of Tenant, constructive or otherwise, 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. Tenant hereby waives any benefits of any applicable existing or future Law, including the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932(1), permitting the termination of this Lease due to such interruption, failure or inability.

Xxxxxx further agrees that in case of any one or more Liabilities, threatened or actual, arising against Landlord, Tenant shall, upon notice from Landlord, defend Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost and expense by counsel satisfactory to Landlord.

Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in case of fire or accidents occurring in, on or about the Building. Tenant shall defend (with an attorney acceptable to Landlord), indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, its mortgagees and agents from any damages or costs arising out of claims for injuries or damages due to the events mentioned in this paragraph. The indemnity provided in this article shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

No policy of insurance carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article 9. shall have a deductible of more than $5,000.00 without Landlord’s express prior written consent. Tenant’s failure to procure and
15 Landlord /s/ RS____
CA Lease Revision 8.0 – Torrey Hills Corporate Center Tenant /s/ KA____

maintain such insurance shall constitute a default under this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord may, at its option, procure said insurance on Tenant’s behalf and charge Tenant, as additional rent, for the costs therefore together with a twenty-five percent (25%) handling charge, payable within three (3) days after demand therefore. Should Tenant timely pay such amount, such default shall be deemed cured.
9.5 Increases in Coverage.

9.6 Blanket Coverage. Tenant’s obligations to carry the insurance provided for in this Article 9 may be brought within the coverage of a so-called “blanket” policy or policies of insurance carried and maintained by Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord, and, if requested by Landlord, Landlord’s mortgagee, beneficiary and/or lessor, shall be named as additional insured(s) thereunder as their interests may appear; and that the coverage afforded Landlord will not be reduced or diminished by reason of the use of such blanket policy of insurance, and provided further that the requirements set forth herein are otherwise satisfied.

9.8 Insurance Use Restrictions. From and after the Effective Date, Tenant shall not carry any stock of goods or do or permit anything to be done in, on or about the Premises that might increase the insurance rates upon the building of which the Premises are a part. Xxxxxx agrees to pay to Landlord forthwith upon demand the amount of any increase in costs for insurance carried by Landlord pursuant to Article 9.5 caused by Xxxxxx’s violation of the foregoing restrictions, whether or not Landlord shall have consented to such act on the part of Tenant. If Tenant installs upon the Premises any electrical equipment that overloads the electrical lines of the Premises, Tenant shall at its own expense make whatever changes or provide whatever equipment and/or safeguards that are necessary to comply with the requirement of the insurance underwriters and any governmental authority having jurisdiction there over, but nothing herein contained shall be deemed to constitute Landlord’s consent to such overloading.
9.9 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Xxxxxx release each other, and their respective shareholders, directors, officers, partners, joint venturers, members, managers, agents, employees, contractors and representatives, from any and all claims for damage to any buildings or improvements within the Project that are caused by or result from risks to the extent insured against under any property insurance policies carried by either Party pursuant to any provision of this Article 9 to the extent of the proceeds from such policies. Such release does not apply to any deductible, any claims not required to be insured hereunder or any claims in excess of the insurance coverage required under this Article or that insurance coverage actually in effect, whichever is greater. Tenant shall cause each property insurance policy obtained by it pertaining to the Premises to provide that the insurer waives all right to recover by way of subrogation against Landlord and Landlord Parties in connection with any loss covered thereby.

All work with respect to any alterations, additions or changes must be done in a good and workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to completion to the end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit except during the period of work. All work that will involve impairing any Fire Protection System, which includes, but is not limited to, any fire sprinkler values and/or fire alarm monitoring systems, requires a “Red Tag Permit”. This tag is issued by calling the Landlord at 000-000-0000. This permit shall be obtained 24 hours prior to work being performed. This work may require a shut-down of alarm systems, approved ventilation to the outside, possession of an appropriate fire extinguisher and a stand-by person on fire watch. In addition, the “fire watch person” will be expected to have the Landlord’s emergency telephone number in their possession and be able, in an emergency, to explain their exact location. System shutdown shall not occur more than once weekly. Upon completion of any alterations, additions or changes, Xxxxxx agrees to cause a notice of completion (or similar evidence of substantial completion) to be recorded in the public land records for the City or County in which the Project is located as required or permitted by the law of the State in which the Project is located. Such alterations, additions or changes shall be considered as improvements, shall become an integral part of the Premises and the property of Landlord upon installation thereof and shall not be removed by Tenant unless Landlord shall require Tenant to remove such improvements, in which event Tenant shall, at its expense, promptly remove those improvements that Landlord designates and repair any damage occasioned to the Premises by reason of their removal. All improvements to the Premises by Tenant, including, but not limited to, light fixtures, floor coverings and partitions, but excluding trade fixtures and signs, shall be deemed to be the property of Landlord upon installation thereof. All materials used in any alterations or changes to the Premises shall be new or like-new in quality and condition. Any such alterations, additions or changes shall be performed and done strictly in accordance with the laws and ordinances relating thereto. In performing the work of any such alterations, additions or changes, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner as not to obstruct the access to the premises of any other occupant of the Building. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a copy of all applicable construction permits and plans so that Landlord may hold in its file a complete and accurate set of permits and plans for all alterations, additions and changes to the Premises and for all Tenant’s Work, if any, on the Premises.
10.3 Floor Coverings. Tenant will not lay or otherwise affix linoleum, tile, carpet or any other floor covering to the floor of the Premises in any manner except as approved in writing by Landlord. Tenant will be liable for the cost of repair of any damage resulting from the violation of this rule or the removal of any floor covering by Tenant or its contractors, employees or invitees.
10.4 Construction Insurance. In the event that Tenant shall make any permitted alterations, additions or changes to the Premises under the terms and provisions of this Article 10, Xxxxxx agrees to carry “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an appropriate amount covering the construction of such alterations, additions or changes, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood and agreed that all such alterations, additions or changes shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 9.3(b) immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, Landlord may, in its discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the estimated cost of the alterations, additions or changes to assure the lien-free completion of such improvements.

10.5 Code Compliance. Tenant shall promptly comply with any and all present and future governmental laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and orders applicable to the Premises and Tenant’s use and occupancy thereof, including but not limited to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 USC section 12101 et. seq. (the “ADA”) and all analogous state and local laws, and all rules and regulations promulgated to further the purpose thereof (collectively, “Laws”). Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall include the making of alterations, additions and improvements required by any Law for the conduct or continuance of Tenant’s business on the Premises. Tenant’s obligation to comply with Laws shall include, without limitation, the responsibility of Tenant to make alterations to the Premises regardless of, among other factors, the relationship of the cost of curative action to the rent payable under this Lease, the length of the then remaining Term hereof, the relative benefit of the repairs to Landlord or Tenant, the degree to which the curative action may interfere with Xxxxxx’s use or enjoyment of the Premises, the likelihood that the Parties contemplated the particular Law involved, and whether the Law involved is related to Xxxxxx’s particular use of the Premises. Tenant shall have the right to contest or review, by procedures permitted by applicable law, at its own expense, any such Law and may delay compliance therewith if permitted by such Law, provided that Landlord or any other tenant, occupant or owner of the Project is not subject to civil liability or criminal prosecution as a result thereof and Landlord’s title to or interest in, or such tenant’s, occupant’s or owner’s business in or title to, the Project, or any portion thereof, is not subjected to forfeiture, involuntary sale, loss or closure as a result thereof. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord and such other tenants, occupants and owners harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage or expense (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from or in connection with any contest hereunder. Any contest shall be conducted with all due diligence. Tenant shall diligently comply with any final, non-appealable decision in any such contest.
ARTICLE 11 - MECHANICS’ LIENS
11.1 Tenant’s Lien Obligations. Tenant agrees that it shall pay, or cause to be paid, all costs for work done by it or caused to be done by it on the Premises and that it shall keep the Premises free and clear of all mechanics’ liens and other liens for or arising from work done by or for Tenant or for persons claiming under it. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and protect Landlord from and against all liability, loss, damage, costs, attorney fees, and all other expenses on account of claims of contractors, subcontractors, laborers or materialmen or others for work performed or materials or supplies furnished for Tenant or persons claiming under it.
11.2 Contest of Lien. If Tenant shall desire to contest any such claim of lien, or if any such lien is actually filed against the Premises or Building, Tenant shall furnish Landlord adequate security for 125% of the amount of the claim plus estimated costs and interest, or shall post a mechanics’ lien release bond issued by a responsible corporate surety in an amount sufficient to satisfy the applicable statutory requirements therefore. If a final judgment establishing the validity or existence of a lien for any amount is entered, Tenant shall promptly pay and satisfy the same, together with any and all fees and costs provided for by the judgment.
11.3 Right to Cure. If Tenant shall default in the timely payment of any charge for which a mechanics’ lien claim and suit to foreclose the lien have been filed, and shall not have given the security to protect the Building and Landlord against such claims of lien as herein above provided, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, pay such claim and any costs, and the amount so paid together with reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection therewith shall be immediately due and owing from Tenant to Landlord, and Xxxxxx agrees to pay the same upon demand with interest at the maximum lawful rate per annum from the date of payment thereof by Landlord.
11.4 Notice. Should any claim of lien be filed against the Premises or any action affecting the title to such property be commenced, the Party receiving notice of such lien or action shall forthwith give the other Party notice thereof.
11.5 Inspection. Landlord or its representatives shall have the right to go upon the Premises at all reasonable times to inspect the Premises and to post and keep posted thereon notices of non-responsibility or such other notices as are permitted or provided for by law or which Landlord may deem to be proper for the protection of Xxxxxxxx’s interest in the Premises. Before Tenant’s commencement of any work that might result in any such lien, Tenant shall give to Landlord notice of Xxxxxx’s intention to do so in sufficient time to enable Landlord to file and record such notices in accordance with the laws and/or statutory requirements of the State in which the Project is located.

Skye Bioscience Lease
canopy, marquee, advertising matter, decoration, letter or other thing of any kind (exclusive of the signs, if any, which may be provided for in the original construction or improvement plans and specifications approved by Landlord hereunder and which conform to Xxxxxxxx’s Sign Criteria) without the prior written consent of Landlord, and then, only in conformance with the Sign Criteria set out in Exhibit F, and Xxxxxx agrees to reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the review and approval of such signs. Landlord hereby reserves the exclusive right to the use for any purpose whatsoever of the roof and exterior of the walls of the Premises and the building of which the Premises are a part. In the event Tenant shall install any sign that does not meet Landlord’s Sign Criteria, Landlord shall have the right and authority without liability to Tenant to enter upon the Premises, remove and store the subject sign and repair all damage caused by the removal of the sign. All costs and expenses incurred by Landlord shall be immediately paid by Xxxxxx as Additional Rent. Landlord reserves the right to remove Xxxxxx’s sign during any period when Landlord repairs, restores, constructs or renovates the Premise or the Building of which the Premises is a part.
12.2 Lobby Directory: To insure a quality and uniform business environment, Tenant’s identifying signage on the suite entry sign shall be provided by Landlord, at Tenant’s cost, and such signage shall be comparable to that used by Landlord for other similar floors in the Building and shall comply with Landlord’s Building standard signage program. Tenant shall also be entitled to have Tenant’s name, and the name of its Affiliate, listed, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, on a directory sign in the main lobby of the Building.
12.3 Tenant’s Interior Signage: Tenant shall not affix nor maintain upon the glass panes or supports of the show windows, nor within sixty (60) inches of any window nor upon the doors, roof or exterior walls of the Premises, any signs, advertising placards, names, insignia, trademarks, descriptive material or any other similar item or items except those approved in writing in advance by Landlord as to the size, design, type, color, location, copy, nature and display qualities of such item. Further, no curtains, draperies, blinds, shutters, shades, awnings, screens or other coverings, window ventilators, hangings, decorations or similar equipment shall be attached to, hung or placed in, or used in or with any window of the Premises or the Building without the prior written consent of Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right to control all lighting within the Premises that may be visible from the exterior of the Building. Any signs, notices, logos, pictures, names or advertisements which are installed and that have not been separately approved by Landlord may be removed without notice by Landlord at the sole expense of Tenant. Tenant may not install any signs on the exterior or roof of the Project or the Common Areas. Any signs, window coverings, or blinds (even if the same are located behind Landlord-approved window coverings for the Building), or other items visible from the exterior of the Premises or Building, shall be subject to the prior approval of Landlord, in its sole discretion. All signs erected by Tenant shall comply with the provisions of Exhibit F and Xxxxxxxx’s prior written approval. In addition, Tenant shall use no advertising medium the sound or effect of which extends beyond the Premises or on walkways adjacent to the Building, including, without limitation, flashing lights, searchlights, loudspeakers, phonographs, radios, televisions, sign spinners or human directionals. Tenant shall not display, paint or place, or cause to be displayed, painted or placed, any handbills, bumper stickers or other advertising devices on any vehicle parked in the parking area or structure of the Project, whether belonging to Tenant, or to Tenant’s agents, or to any other person; nor shall Tenant distribute, or cause to be distributed in the Project and adjacent walkways any handbill or other advertising devices. In the event Tenant shall violate any provision of this Article 12 or any provision of Exhibit F, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord the right to enter the Premises and correct such violation at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. If any such violation shall occur in the common areas, Landlord shall have the immediate right to cure, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, such violation which right shall include, without limitation, removal of any and all unapproved signage.
ARTICLE 13 - PERSONALTY AND FIXTURES
13.1 Ownership. Any merchandise, trade fixtures, furniture, furnishings, signs and other personal property of Tenant not permanently affixed to the Premises (“Personalty”) shall be new or of new quality when initially installed in the Premises and shall remain the property of Tenant. Provided Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Lease and subject to Article 13.4, Tenant shall have the right, from time to time, to remove any and all Personalty which it may have stored or installed in the Premises, provided that Tenant shall immediately replace the same with similar Personalty of comparable or better quality, except at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. At its sole expense, Tenant shall immediately repair any damage occasioned to the Premises by reason of Tenant’s removal of any such Personalty, and upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall leave the Premises in a neat and broom-clean condition, free of trash and debris.
13.2 Removal of Personalty. If Tenant does not remove all of its personal property including, but not limited to, Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, equipment, goods and chattels from the Premises upon abandonment or expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (or within two (2) days after a termination by reason of Tenant’s default), then such effects shall be considered abandoned, and Landlord may remove any or all such items and
19 Landlord /s/ RS____
CA Lease Revision 8.0 – Torrey Hills Corporate Center Tenant /s/ KA____
Skye Bioscience Lease
dispose of the same in any manner or store the same in a public warehouse or elsewhere for the account of and at the expense and risk of Tenant. If Tenant shall fail to pay the cost of storing any such property, plus a twenty percent (20%) service charge, as Rent after it has been stored for a period of thirty (30) days or more, Landlord may sell any or all of such property at public or private sale, in such manner and at such times and places as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may deem proper without notice to or demand upon Tenant. Landlord shall apply the proceeds of such sale to the amounts due Landlord from Tenant under this Lease and for the costs of storage and the sale.
13.3 Fixtures. Tenant’s approved alterations to the Premises (see Article 10.1) are collectively referred to as “Fixtures.” All Fixtures become Landlord’s property upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
13.4 Landlord’s Lien. This Lease constitutes a “Security Agreement” on personal property within the meaning of the UCC (defined below) and other applicable law with respect to Tenant’s Personalty and Fixtures. To this end, Tenant grants to Landlord a security interest in Tenant’s Personalty and Fixtures which are personal property to secure Tenant’s obligations and performance as set forth in this Lease, and agrees that Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC with respect to such property. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Landlord with respect to Tenant’s Personalty and Fixtures sent to Tenant at least five (5) days prior to any action under the UCC shall constitute reasonable notice to Tenant. The “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of California or, if the creation, perfection and enforcement of any security interest herein granted is governed by the laws of a state other than California, then, as to the matter in question, the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in that state. Tenant authorizes Landlord to file a financing statement describing Xxxxxx’s Personalty and Fixtures. Tenant (as debtor) shall execute and deliver to Landlord (as secured party), in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, such financing statements and such further assurances as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect and preserve Landlord’s security interest hereunder and Landlord may cause such statements and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may be required or permitted by law to so create, perfect and preserve such security interest.
13.5 Business and Personalty Taxes. Tenant shall pay before delinquency all taxes, assessments, license fees and public charges levied, assessed or imposed upon its business operation, as well as upon its Personalty located in or upon the Premises. In the event any such items of property are assessed with property of Landlord, such assessment shall be divided between Landlord and Tenant to the end that Tenant shall pay its equitable portion of such assessment as Landlord shall conclusively determine. No taxes, assessments, fees or charges referred to in this Article 13.5 shall be considered as Premises Taxes under the provisions of Article 5.7.
ARTICLE 14 - ASSIGNMENT, SUBLEASE AND OTHER TRANSFERS
14.1 Restrictions.
(a) Landlord and Xxxxxx agree that the Building consists of an interdependent group of retail enterprises and that the realization of the benefits of this Lease, both to Landlord and Tenant, is dependent upon Tenant’s creating and maintaining a successful and profitable retail operation in the Premises and on Landlord maintaining the proper “tenant mix” for the Building. Accordingly, Tenant shall not transfer, assign, sublet, mortgage, hypothecate, encumber or enter into any license or concession agreement regarding this Lease, or all or any portion of Tenant’s interest in and to the Premises (collectively, “Transfer”), without in each instance procuring the prior written consent of Landlord. Any such attempted or purported Transfer without Landlord’s prior written consent shall be void and of no force or effect, shall not confer any interest or estate in the purported transferee, and shall at Landlord’s sole, exclusive, and absolute discretion, entitle Landlord to terminate this Lease upon notice to Tenant. Xxxxxx’s request for an assignment or other transfer shall be in writing to Landlord and will only be considered by Landlord if Tenant is not in default of any provision of this Lease.
(b) The consent of Landlord required hereunder shall not be unreasonably withheld.
14.2 Procedure for Transfer. Should Tenant desire to make a Transfer hereunder, Xxxxxx shall, in each instance, give notice of its intention to do so to Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such proposed Transfer. Such notice shall include or be accompanied by the following:
(a) the full particulars of the proposed Transfer, including its nature, effective date, terms and conditions, and copies of any offers, draft agreements, subleases, license or concession agreements, letter of commitment or intent, and other documents pertaining to such proposed Transfer;
20 Landlord /s/ RS____
CA Lease Revision 8.0 – Torrey Hills Corporate Center Tenant /s/ KA____
Skye Bioscience Lease
(b) a description of the identity, net worth and previous business experience of the Transferee, including, without limitation, copies of Transferee’s latest income, balance sheet and change-of-financial-position statements (with accompanying notes and disclosures of all material changes thereto) in audited form, if available, and certified as accurate by the Transferee; and
(c) a statement that Xxxxxx intends to consummate the proposed Transfer if Landlord consents thereto. Tenant shall also supply Landlord with any further information relevant to the transaction that Landlord shall request within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice of the proposed Transfer.
14.3 Grounds for Disapproving a Transfer. In determining whether to consent or disapprove of a Transfer, it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to object to a proposed Transfer if:
(a) The Transferor is in default of any of its obligations under the terms of this Lease;
(b) The proposed use by the Transferee will conflict with or is incompatible with the existing or proposed uses (whether or not exclusive) of other occupants of the Building.
(c) The proposed Transferee has inadequate financial strength or lacks business or management experience or reputation.
(d) The proposed use by the proposed Transferee would cause a diminution in the reputation of the Project or unfairly burden the use of the Common Area, as determined by Landlord in its sole and exclusive business judgment.
(e) The impact of such proposed Transferee would have a detrimental impact on the Common Areas or on the other occupants of the Project.
(f) INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
(g) Landlord shall further have the right to condition its approval of any assignment or sublease to an increase in the Minimum Rent payable for the Premises, which increase shall be an amount determined by Landlord, in its sole discretion; however, such amount shall not be less than the current market leasing rate quoted by Landlord for premises comparable to Tenant’s.
14.4 Action by Landlord. Landlord shall, within sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice of a proposed Transfer from Tenant, notify Tenant of Landlord’s response as follows:
(a) disapprove the Transfer pursuant to Article 14.1; or
(b) consent to such Transfer; or
(c) terminate this Lease as to the space and for the time period covered by the proposed Transfer, such termination to be effective thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice by Tenant (unless Tenant has rescinded its proposal for such Transfer within said period). Upon such termination said space shall be excluded from the term “Premises” during said time period, and Minimum Rent, Xxxxxx’s share of Taxes and insurance expenses relating to the Premises, and any other provisions hereof based on the size of the Premises shall be equitably reduced to reflect such exclusion.
No Transfer of this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant or any Guarantor of this Lease from liability under this Lease. Landlord hereby reserves the right to condition Xxxxxxxx’s consent to any Transfer of all or any portion of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Premises upon Landlord’s receipt from Tenant of a written agreement, in form and substance acceptable to Landlord. If Xxxxxx’s interest in this Lease be assigned or if the Premises or any part thereof be sublet, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, collect the rent from the assignee or subtenant and apply the net amount collected to the rent due from Tenant. No such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the covenant herein against sale, transfer, mortgage, assignment and subletting or release of Tenant from the performance of the covenants herein contained. In the event of such default, Tenant hereby assigns the rent due from the subtenant or assignee to Landlord, and hereby authorizes such subtenant or assignee to pay the rent directly to Landlord. If Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership and any transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of the stock, managing member interests or general partner interests shall occur, or power to vote the majority of the outstanding stock, then Tenant shall so notify Landlord and Landlord shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this Lease
21 Landlord /s/ RS____
CA Lease Revision 8.0 – Torrey Hills Corporate Center Tenant /s/ KA____
Skye Bioscience Lease
upon ten (10) days’ notice to Tenant. In the event Tenant assigns, sublets or transfers this Lease for all or any portion of the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent, as liquidated damages, the Minimum Rent and Operating Expenses for the Premises shall be double the current rate stated in this Lease until Tenant complies with the terms of this paragraph. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent to a proposed Transfer or otherwise has breached its obligations under this Article 14, Xxxxxx’s and such Transferee’s only remedy shall be to seek a declaratory judgment and/or injunctive relief, and Tenant, on behalf of itself and, to the extent permitted by law, such proposed Transferee, waives all other remedies against Landlord, including, without limitation, the right to seek monetary damages and the right to terminate this Lease.
14.5 Transfer Fee. In the event Tenant requests Xxxxxxxx’s consent to a proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a Transfer Fee of equal to One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00) prior to obtaining Landlord’s consent.
14.6 Required Documents. Each Transfer to which Landlord has consented shall be evidenced by a written instrument, the form and content of which is satisfactory to Landlord, executed by Xxxxxx and the Transferee under which the Transferee shall agree for the benefit of Landlord to perform and to abide by all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be done, kept and performed by Tenant, including the payment of all amounts due or to become due under this Lease directly to Landlord and the obligation to use the Premises only for the purpose specified in Article 7. Upon demand by Landlord, Xxxxxx shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable attorney, accountant, consultant and administrative fees incurred in reviewing and processing documentation for each proposed Transfer, whether or not the Transfer is consummated.
14.7 Stock Transfers. If Tenant is a corporation whose stock is not traded on a recognized, public stock exchange, or is an unincorporated association or partnership, the transfer, assignment or hypothecation, in the aggregate of more than twenty-five (25) percent of the total outstanding stock or other ownership interest in such corporation, association or partnership, shall be deemed a Transfer within the meaning and provisions of this Article 14 and shall require Landlord’s prior written consent.
14.8 Bankruptcy. Upon the filing of a petition by or against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code (11 USC Section 101 et. seq.), Tenant, as debtor and as debtor in possession, and any trustee who may be appointed agrees that this Lease is a lease of real property in a shopping center and that therefore Section 365(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code (“Section 365 (b)(3)”) is applicable to any proposed assumption of this Lease in a bankruptcy case. Section 365 (b)(3) provides that adequate assurance of future performance of a lease of real property in a shopping center includes adequate assurance: (i) of the source of rent and other consideration due under such Lease, and in the case of an assignment, that the financial condition and operating performance of the proposed assignee and its guarantors, if any, shall be similar to the financial condition and operating performance of the debtor and its guarantors, if any, as of the time the debtor became the lessee under this Lease; (ii) that assumption or assignment of such Lease is subject to all the provisions thereof, including (but not limited to) provisions such as a radius, location, use, or exclusivity provision, and will not breach any such provision contained in any other lease, financing agreement, or master agreement relating to such shopping center; and (iii) that assumption or assignment of such Lease will not disrupt any tenant mix or balance in such shopping center.
14.9 Transfer Rent. If Tenant shall enter into a Transfer hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any “transfer premium” (as defined in this Article 14.9). In the event of a subletting, “transfer premium” shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such subtenant to Tenant or on behalf of Tenant in connection with the subletting in excess of the rent, additional rent and other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the sublease on a per square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is subleased, less the reasonable costs actually incurred by Tenant to secure the sublease. In the event of any Transfer other than a subletting, “transfer premium” shall mean any consideration paid by the Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer which Landlord reasonably determines is allocable to the leasehold value of this Lease, less the reasonable costs actually incurred by Tenant to secure the Transfer. If part of the transfer premium shall be payable by the Transferee or subtenant other than in cash, then Landlord’s share of such non-cash consideration shall be in such form as is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. In the event of an assignment or sublet of this Lease, any exclusives and/or caps on Operating Costs set forth in this Lease favoring Tenant shall be deleted as of the date of such Transfer.
ARTICLE 15 - OPERATION OF TENANT’S BUSINESS
15.1 No Continuous Operation. Tenant shall not be obligated to be open for business; provided, however, that the failure to open for business and/or the cessation of operation of Tenant’s business shall not affect Tenant's obligation to pay all amounts due hereunder and to perform all covenants and
22 Landlord /s/ RS____
CA Lease Revision 8.0 – Torrey Hills Corporate Center Tenant /s/ KA____
Skye Bioscience Lease
obligations hereunder, which obligations shall continue unless and until the effective expiration or earlier termination date of this Lease.
15.2 Operating Hours. Tenant’s initial operating hours are Monday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or as otherwise adjusted by Tenant in Tenant’s sole discretion.
15.3 Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with, and shall cause its employees and invitees to faithfully observe and comply with, such reasonable rules and regulations governing the Building as Landlord may from time to time promulgate and amend, which rules and regulations shall initially include the provisions of Exhibit G.
ARTICLE 16 - REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
16.1 Tenant’s Maintenance Obligations. At all times from and after Xxxxxxxx’s delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant, Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, repair and maintain all components of the Premises and every part thereof in good and tenantable condition, including, but not limited to, floor coverings, lighting, wiring, plumbing, all trade fixtures and other equipment therein, the storefront or storefronts, all Tenant’s signs, locks and closing devices, all window sash, casement or frames, doors and door frames, , but excluding the roof, exterior walls, structural portions of the Premises and structural floor. Upon any surrender of the Premises at the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver the Premises to Landlord, in good order, condition and state of repair, excepting ordinary wear and tear and such items of repair as may be Landlord’s obligation hereunder.
16.2 Landlord’s Maintenance Obligations. Subject to Article 16.1, Landlord shall keep and maintain in good and tenantable condition and repair and replace as necessary the roof, exterior walls, structural parts and structural floor of the Premises and pipes and conduits outside the Premises used to furnish to the Premises various utilities (except to the extent that the same are the obligation of the appropriate public utility company); provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to make (and Tenant shall make) any repairs necessitated by reason of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its servants, agents, employees or contractors, or anyone claiming under Tenant, or by reason of the failure of Tenant to perform or observe any conditions or agreements contained in this Lease, or caused by alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for failure to make repairs as herein specifically required unless Xxxxxx has previously notified Landlord, in writing, of the need for such repairs and Landlord has failed to commence and complete said repairs within a reasonable period of time following receipt of Tenant’s notification, however, not later than 20 days from such notification; provided, however, that if such repairs cannot be completed within such 20 day period, then such greater period of time as may be required provided that Landlord has commenced such repairs and is diligently pursuing same to completion. Tenant shall pay Tenant’s pro rata share of the cost of the repairs and replacements required by this Article 16.2 to Landlord beginning on the Commencement Date and thereafter on the first day of each calendar month in such amounts as Landlord shall from time to time estimate. In addition, Landlord’s maintenance expense shall include an amount payable to Landlord for the supervision, accounting, bookkeeping and collection of the maintenance expenses equal to ten percent (10%) of the total of the aforementioned expenses for each calendar year. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant at least once annually a statement setting forth the actual cost of such repair, maintenance and replacement allocable to the Premises together with the basis used by Landlord for computing same. If such actual expenses exceed Xxxxxx’s payments hereunder, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within five (5) days after receipt of such statement. If payments made by Tenant for such year exceed such actual expenses, Tenant shall be entitled to credit the excess against payments next thereafter to become due to Landlord for such expenses. Tenant waives the provisions of California Civil Code, Section 1942, if applicable, and the provisions of any similar statute affording Tenant a right to offset Landlord’s repair obligations against Xxxxxx’s duty to pay rent hereunder. Under no circumstances shall Tenant be entitled to terminate this Lease as a result of Xxxxxxxx’s failure or alleged failure to make repairs hereunder.
16.3 Tenant’s Failure to Maintain. If Xxxxxx refuses or neglects to make repairs and/or maintain the Premises, or any portion thereof, including Xxxxxx’s storefront(s), in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, Landlord shall have the right, upon giving Tenant fifteen (15) days’ notice of its election to do so, to make such repairs or perform such maintenance on behalf of and for the account of Tenant. In such event, Tenant shall promptly pay the cost of such work upon receipt of bills therefore plus aten percent (10%) administrative fee, as Rent. Failure of Tenant to pay any of said charges within ten (10) days of receipt of bills therefore shall constitute a default hereunder.

16.4 Definition of Exterior Walls. As used in this Article 16, “exterior walls” shall not be deemed to include storefront(s), plate glass, window cases or window frames, doors or doorframes, security grilles or similar enclosures. Landlord shall be under no obligation to make any repairs, alterations, renewals, replacements or improvements to or upon the Premises or the mechanical equipment exclusively serving the Premises at any time except as otherwise provided in this Lease.
16.5 Right to Enter. Tenant agrees to permit Landlord and its authorized representatives to enter the Premises at all times for the purpose of making emergency repairs and during usual business hours for the purpose of inspecting the same, provided 24 hour advanced notice (which notice may be given in writing, via email, facsimile, or telephonically). Tenant further agrees that Landlord may go upon the Premises and make any necessary repairs thereto and perform any work therein which may be necessary to comply with any laws, ordinances, rules or regulations of any public authority, any fire rating bureau, or any similar body, which Tenant is required to but has failed to perform in accordance with Article 16.1 or that Landlord may deem necessary to prevent waste or deterioration in connection with the Premises if Tenant does not make or cause such repairs or work to be made or performed promptly after receipt of written demand from Landlord. Nothing herein contained shall imply any duty on the part of Landlord to do any such work that, under provisions of this Lease, Tenant may be required to do, nor shall Landlord’s failure to elect to perform such work constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default. No exercise by Landlord of any rights herein reserved shall entitle Tenant to any damage for any injury or inconvenience occasioned thereby, to any abatement of rent, or to terminate this Lease. Further, Xxxxxx agrees that Landlord may go upon the Premises and use the walls, floor, ceiling, roof and plenum in, above and below the Premises for repair, maintenance, use, installation, testing, and/or replacement of pipes, ducts, utility lines and systems, fire alarms and fire sprinklers, and structural elements serving the Building or other tenants therein, and for such other purposes as Landlord deems necessary and/or for which Landlord has responsibility under this Lease.

If the Premises shall be rendered untenantable in whole or in part by casualty, Landlord may, at its option, and at its own expense, cause the damage to be repaired and there shall be no abatement of Rent, it being understood and agreed that Xxxxxx, at its discretion, cost and expense shall procure insurance necessary to protect itself against any interruption of business. Tenant shall continue the operation of its business on the Premises during any such period to the extent reasonably practicable from the standpoint of prudent business management, and the obligation of Tenant to pay shall remain in full force and effect.

days after Xxxxxxxx’s service of notice on Tenant of Landlord’s reasonable belief that Tenant is insolvent, Xxxxxx fails to provide Landlord with reasonably credible written evidence that Xxxxxx is not insolvent; or
(e) The vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Xxxxxx. It shall be deemed that Tenant has vacated the Premises if Tenant fails to continuously operate from the Premises for five (5) consecutive days, except if such vacating is due to the coronavirus; however, the foregoing shall not limit the events constituting vacation of the Premises.
(f) In the event of a default by Tenant under any other lease for space in the Building or Project or in another shopping center or property owned by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord, such default, at the election of Landlord, shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease, and shall entitle Landlord to any and all remedies available to Landlord under this Lease.
(g) Tenant shall keep in strict confidence and shall not divulge the existence, contents or provisions of this Lease to anyone other than an officer, agent, employee, director, shareholder, lawyer, consultant, accountant or auditor of Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord, unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or required by applicable law.

(a) terminate this Lease and declare the Lease Term hereof ended and re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof and remove all persons and property therefrom, and Tenant shall have no further claim thereon or hereunder;
(b) Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and effect as long as Landlord does not terminate Xxxxxx’s right to possession, and Landlord shall have the right to collect any and all rent as and when it becomes due or payable hereunder.

Tenant shall be liable for and pay to Landlord on demand all costs and expenses as Landlord may have paid, assumed or incurred in recovering possession of the Premises, including, without limitation, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, and expenditures in placing the same in good order and condition, or preparing or altering the same for reletting, and all other expenses, commissions and charges paid, assumed or incurred by Landlord in or in connection with reletting the Premises.

Landlord reserves the right to bring such actions for the recovery of any deficits remaining unpaid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder as Landlord may deem advisable from time to time, without being obligated to wait until the expiration of the Lease Term hereof for a final determination of Tenant’s account and the commencement or maintenance of one or more actions by Landlord shall not bar Landlord from bringing any subsequent actions for further accruals pursuant to the provisions of this Article 19.2(b). Tenant shall not be entitled to any excess rental received by Landlord over and above that which Xxxxxx is obligated to pay hereunder.

(b) The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent and other charges which would have been earned after termination until the time of the award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(c) The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent and other charges for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of the award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(d) 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, but not limited to, the unamortized portion of Landlord’s cost of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and Landlord’s Work (as described herein), if any, and Broker commissions (all of which shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the initial Term), plus any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in (a) retaking possession of the Premises, including reasonable attorney fees thereof; (b) maintaining or preserving the Premises after such default; (c) preparing the Premises for reletting to a new tenant, including performing repairs or alterations to the Premises for such reletting; (d) paying leasing commissions; or (e) reletting the Premises; plus
(e) At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.
19.4 Landlord’s California Civil Code Section 1951.4 Damage Recovery. In accordance with California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (or any successor statute), Tenant acknowledges that in the event Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons the Premises, Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code, Article 1951.4 which provides that Landlord may continue Lease in effect after Xxxxxx’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. Tenant further acknowledges that this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession, and Landlord may enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including, without limitation, the right to recover rent as it becomes due under this Lease. Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to re-let the Premises upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interests under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession.
19.5 Court Appointed Receiver. Tenant acknowledges that one of the non-exclusive rights and remedies available to Landlord under applicable law is to secure a court-appointed receiver to take possession of the Premises and its contents, and or any portion thereof, to collect the rents, accounts, profits and income of the Premises or any portion thereof, and to manage the operation of the Premises or any portion thereof. The receiver shall be entitled to a reasonable fee for its services as a receiver and to incur reasonable expenses for the employment of professionals, such as attorneys, accountants, licensed contractors, etc. All such fees and other expenses of the receivership estate shall be added to the monthly rent due to Landlord under this Lease. Tenant hereby irrevocably stipulates to the appointment of a receiver under such circumstances and for such purposes and agrees not to contest any such appointment in court.
19.6 Computations.

CA Lease Revision 8.0 – Torrey Hills Corporate Center Tenant /s/ KA____
Skye Bioscience Lease
(a) For the purposes of Article 19.3, all rental and charges other than Minimum Rent including, but not limited to Operating Costs, shall be computed on the basis of the average monthly amount thereof accruing during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding notice to Tenant of Tenant’s default unless a twelve (12) month period of this Lease has not elapsed, in which case the average monthly amount shall be based upon the entire period of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises. In the event of default, all of Tenant’s fixtures, furniture, equipment, improvements, additions, alterations and other personal property shall remain on the Premises, and during the period of such default, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to remove the same forthwith.
(b) As used in Articles 19.3(a) and 19.3(b), the “worth at the time of the award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum provided that such amount will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. As used in Article 19.3(c), the “worth at the time of the award” shall be 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 (1%).
19.7 Efforts to Relet. For the purposes of this Article 19, Xxxxxx’s right to possession of the Premises shall not be deemed to have been terminated by Xxxxxxxx’s efforts to relet the Premises, to maintain or preserve the Premises, or to appoint a receiver to protect Xxxxxxxx’s interests hereunder.
The foregoing enumeration of Landlord’s acts is not exhaustive, but merely illustrative of acts that Landlord may perform without terminating Tenant’s right to possession.
19.8 No Waiver. Landlord’s waiver of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. Xxxxxxxx’s subsequent acceptance of rent shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular portion of rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. No covenant, term or condition of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless such waiver is in writing and executed by Landlord.
19.9 Waivers by Xxxxxx. Tenant hereby expressly, unconditionally and irrevocably waives all of the following: (a) any right Tenant may have to interpose or assert any claim, counterclaim or setoff in any action brought by Landlord based (in whole or part) on non-payment of Rent even if same is based on Landlord’s alleged breach of this Lease (Landlord and Tenant hereby stipulate that any such counterclaim shall be severed and tried separately from the action brought by Landlord for non-payment of Rent); (b) all constitutional, statutory or common law bonding requirements including any requirement that Landlord file a bond payable to Tenant in at least double the sum demanded by Landlord (or double the property sought to be distrained); it being the intention of the Parties that no bond shall be required in any distress action; (c) the right, if any, to replevy distrained property; (d) any rights Tenant may have in the selection of venue in any suit by or against Landlord; it being understood that the venue of such suit shall be in the county wherein the Premises is located; (e) any rights Tenant may have to consequential damages incurred by Tenant including but not limited to lost profits and interruption of business as a result of any Landlord default; and (f) any rights Tenant may have in the Premises or any goods or personal property therein if Tenant is evicted and dispossessed of same. Further, in the event Landlord commences any proceeding for the non-payment of Rent, Tenant shall not file any non-compulsory counterclaims in such proceedings. This shall not, however, be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s right to assert such counterclaims in a separate action brought by Xxxxxx. Tenant expressly waives any right to assert a defense based on merger and agrees that neither the commencement nor settlement of any action or proceeding, nor the entry of judgment shall bar Landlord from bringing any subsequent actions or proceedings from time to time. Tenant waives any statutory notice requirements.
ARTICLE 20 - DEFAULT BY LANDLORD
20.1 Landlord shall not be in default hereunder unless Landlord fails to perform the obligations required of Landlord within thirty (30) days after notice by Tenant to Landlord; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of Landlord’s default and Xxxxxx’s remedies shall be limited to an action at law for actual monetary damages (but not consequential damages or loss of profits) sustained by Xxxxxx as a direct result of Landlord’s breach.
ARTICLE 21 - EMINENT DOMAIN
32 Landlord /s/ RS____
CA Lease Revision 8.0 – Torrey Hills Corporate Center Tenant /s/ KA____
Skye Bioscience Lease
21.1 Taking Resulting in Termination. In the event that all or substantially all of the Premises shall be taken under the power of eminent domain, or that any portion of the Project shall be so taken so as to render the Building not reasonably suitable for continuation of business in Landlord’s or Xxxxxxxx’s lender’s absolute discretion, this Lease shall thereupon terminate as of the date possession shall be so taken. In the event that a portion of the Floor Area of the Premises shall be taken under the power of eminent domain and the portion not so taken will not be reasonably adequate for the operation of Tenant’s business notwithstanding Landlord’s performance of restoration as hereinafter provided, this Lease shall terminate as of the date possession of such portion is taken. If this Lease is terminated, all rent shall be paid up to the date that actual possession of the Premises, or a portion thereof, is taken by public authority, and Landlord shall make an equitable refund of any rent paid by Xxxxxx in advance and not yet earned.
21.2 Partial Taking. In the event of any taking under the power of eminent domain which does not terminate this Lease as aforesaid, any obligation of Tenant under this Lease to pay, and all of the other provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that the Minimum Rent only shall be reduced in the same proportion that the amount of Floor Area of the Premises taken bears to the Floor Area of the Premises immediately prior to such taking, and Landlord shall not be required to exceed the scope of the work to be done by Landlord in originally constructing said building, and Landlord shall not be required to spend an amount in excess of the amount received by Landlord as damages for the part of the Premises so taken. “Amount received by Landlord” shall mean that part of the condemnation award, which is free and clear to Landlord of any collection of mortgages for the value of the diminished fee and Tenant, at Tenant’s own cost and expense shall restore such part of Tenant’s Work in the Premises, if any as is not taken to as near its former condition as the circumstances will permit.
21.3 Award. All damages awarded for any such taking under the power of eminent domain, whether for the whole or a part of the Premises, shall belong to and be the property of Landlord, whether such damages shall be awarded as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the fee of the Premises; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall prevent Tenant from making claim for loss or damage to Tenant’s trade fixtures and removable personal property.
21.4 Transfer Under Threat of Taking. For purposes of this Article 21 only, a voluntary sale by Landlord of all or any portion of the Project to any public or quasi-public body, agency or person, corporate or otherwise, having the power of eminent domain, either under threat of condemnation or while condemnation proceedings are pending, shall be deemed to be a taking by eminent domain.
21.5 Requisitioning. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions, the requisitioning of the Premises or any part thereof by military or other public authority for purposes arising out of a temporary emergency or other temporary situation or circumstances shall constitute a taking of the Premises by eminent domain only when the use and occupancy by the requisitioning authority has continued for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days. During such one hundred eighty (180) consecutive day period, and thereafter if this Lease is not terminated under the foregoing provisions, then for the duration of the use and occupancy of the Premises by the requisitioning authority, any obligation of Tenant under this Lease to pay, and all of the other provisions of this Lease, shall remain in full force and effect, except that Minimum Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion that the amount of the Floor Area of the Premises requisitioned bears to the total Floor Area of the Premises, and Landlord shall be entitled to whatever compensation may be payable from the requisitioning authority for the use and occupation of the Premises for the period involved.
ARTICLE 22 - SUBORDINATION TO FINANCING; ATTORNMENT
22.1 Subordination. This Lease is subject and subordinate to all ground and/or other underlying leases (including sale and leaseback leases), mortgages and deeds of trust or other encumbrances (collectively, “Mortgage”) which now affect the Project, the Building, the Premises or any portion thereof, together with all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof; except to the extent that the mortgage holder or underlying lessor (“Mortgagee”) has agreed, in a commercially-reasonable written separate agreement with Tenant (the “Nondisturbance Agreement”), that Xxxxxx’s peaceable possession of the Premises will not be disturbed on account of such subordination as long as Tenant is not in default under any provision of this Lease. Such Nondisturbance Agreement shall provide that, upon sale by foreclosure of a mortgage or by deed in lieu of foreclosure or termination of the underlying lease, Tenant will attorn to the Mortgagee or its successor-in-interest as provided in Article 22.3. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 22.1 to the contrary, if the Mortgagee shall advise Landlord that it desires this Lease become prior and superior to the Mortgage, upon written request of Landlord to Tenant, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all documents or instruments which Landlord or Mortgagee deems necessary or desirable for purposes therefore. Xxxxxx’s failure to execute any such
33 Landlord /s/ RS____
CA Lease Revision 8.0 – Torrey Hills Corporate Center Tenant /s/ KA____
Skye Bioscience Lease
documents contemplated by this Article 22.1, including the Nondisturbance Agreement, shall constitute a material breach of this Lease.
22.2 Future Encumbrance. Landlord shall have the right to cause this Lease to become, be and remain subject and subordinate to any and all Mortgages that may hereafter be executed covering the Project, the Building, the Premises, or the real property thereunder or any portion thereof, for the full amount of all advances made or to be made thereunder and without regard to the time or character of such advance, together with interest thereon and subject to all the terms and provisions thereof; and Tenant agrees, within ten (10) days after Xxxxxxxx’s written request therefore, to execute, acknowledge and deliver upon request any and all documents or instruments requested by Landlord or necessary or proper to assure the subordination of this Lease to any such Mortgages. Xxxxxx’s failure to execute any such documents contemplated by this Article 22.2, including the Nondisturbance Agreement, shall constitute a material breach of this Lease.
22.3 Attornment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 22, Xxxxxx agrees to attorn to any person, firm or corporation (“Successor Landlord”) purchasing or otherwise acquiring Landlord’s interest in the Project, the Building or the Premises or any portion thereof at any sale or other proceeding or pursuant to the exercise of any rights, powers, or remedies under any Mortgage as if such Successor Landlord had been named as Landlord herein, it being intended hereby that if this Lease shall be terminated, cut off or otherwise defeated by reason of any act or actions by any Mortgagee, then, at the option of the Successor Landlord, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. Upon demand, from time to time, Xxxxxx shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord any instruments and certificates necessary or proper to further evidence the subordination and/or attornment provided for in this Article 22 or, if Landlord so elects, to render any Mortgage subordinate to this Lease or to any or all rights of Tenant hereunder, and the failure of Tenant to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments and certificates shall constitute a material default hereunder. Tenant further waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder in the event of a foreclosure proceeding or a sale in lieu of foreclosure and agrees that this Lease shall not be affected in any way whatsoever by any such proceeding or sale. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as Xxxxxx’s attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any documents provided herein for and in the name of Tenant, and such power, being coupled with and interest, is irrevocable.
22.4 Tenant’s Estoppel Certificate. Within ten (10) days after the Commencement Date, and at any other time during the Lease Term within ten (10) days following Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E indicating therein any exceptions thereto which may exist at that time. The failure of Tenant to execute and deliver such certificate on a timely basis shall constitute an automatic acceptance of the Premises and an express acknowledgment by Tenant that the statements included in Exhibit E, as completed by Landlord and submitted to Tenant, are true and complete, without exception. Any such certificate may be relied upon by a then existing or prospective lessor, purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Project. Tenant’s failure to deliver such certificate within such time period shall be a default of this Lease, without the need for any further notice to Tenant and without the availability of any additional period to cure same, and such failure shall also be conclusive upon Tenant that: (a) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (b) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance under this Lease or otherwise, and (c) not more than one month’s installment of rent due hereunder has been paid in advance. If Tenant fails to deliver such a certificate within such ten (10) day period, then Tenant does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact and in Tenant’s name, place and stead to execute such a certificate; provided, however, such appointment shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to provide such a certificate or avoid Tenant’s default of this Lease for failure to timely provide such certificate. Further, Tenant’s failure to respond to Landlord’s request for a written statement within the ten (10) day period mentioned in this Article shall constitute a material default by Tenant under this Lease, and in such event, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as liquidated damages therefor (and in addition to all equitable remedies available to Landlord) an amount equal to One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($150.00), as Rent, per day for each day that Tenant fails to deliver such certificate to Landlord after the expiration of such ten (10) day period.
ARTICLE 23 - SALE OF PREMISES BY LANDLORD
23.1 In the event of any sale, exchange or other conveyance of Landlord’s interest in the Project or any portion or portions thereof by Landlord and an assignment by Landlord of this Lease, Landlord shall be and is hereby entirely freed and relieved of all liability under any and all of its covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission relating to the Premises or this Lease occurring after the consummation of such sale, exchange or conveyance and assignment, provided that same liability under such covenants and obligations is transferred to and the responsibility of Landlord’s assignee.

24.2 Failure to Surrender.

ARTICLE 25 - NOTICES

Wherever in this Lease it shall be required or permitted that notice, designation, request, approval, advice, consent or demand (collectively, “Notice”) be given or served by either Party to this Lease to or on the other, the Notice shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been duly given or served when actually delivered if personally delivered (including delivery by FedEx, Express Mail or other similar overnight courier service which confirms delivery in writing), or within three (3) business days after deposit in the U. S. Mail if sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested.

In the event a portion of the Project is sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of, Tenant’s proportionate share of Additional Rent shall be adjusted accordingly, if applicable. Further, Landlord shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during the Lease Term, upon not less than sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Tenant, to remodel, renovate, reduce or expand the Project, the Building or a portion thereof, including the land upon which the Premises are located.

Tenant shall deliver to Landlord upon execution hereof a copy of such documents establishing the authority of the signatories of Tenant.
27.3 Merger. Tenant acknowledges that there are no prior oral representations, statements or agreements between the Parties affecting this Lease that are not memorialized in this Lease, that this Lease entirely supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between the Parties or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof, and that no such prior oral agreements shall be used to interpret or construe this Lease. This Lease contains all of the terms, covenants, conditions, warranties and agreements of the Parties relating in any manner to the rental, use and occupancy of the Premises and is the only agreement between the Parties and their representatives and agents with respect to the rental, use and occupancy of the Premises.

27.6 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Landlord and Tenant for themselves, and their successors and assigns, hereby each waive any and all rights which either Party may have to request a jury or to require that a jury determine any fact, matter, controversy, dispute or litigation between them, or render any judgment or decision, in any way concerning this Lease and agree that any and all litigation between them arising from or in connection with this Lease shall be determined by a judge sitting without a jury.

27.7 Attorney Fees. In the event either Party shall institute any legal action or proceeding for the purpose of enforcing the terms of this Lease , any amendment hereto, or any default hereunder, the unsuccessful Party in such action or proceeding agrees to pay to the prevailing Party the reasonable attorney fees and costs actually incurred by the prevailing Party. Additionally, Landlord shall be entitled to recover its actual attorney’s fees and costs incurred if it refers this Lease to an attorney for the enforcement of any of the provisions of this Lease regardless of whether a legal action or proceeding is ever formally initiated.

Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental actions, civil commotions, fire or other casualty, and other non-financial causes beyond the reasonable control of the Party obligated to perform shall be a “Force Majeure Event”. Except for Tenant’s obligation to make timely payment of rent and other amounts due, which shall remain in full force and effect, Force Majeure Events shall excuse the performance by such Party of its non-monetary performance obligations under this Lease. The Party claiming a Force Majeure Event shall exercise good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the Force Majeure Event or results thereof and, to effectively relieve its performance non-monetary obligations. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such claimed Force Majeure Event within five (5) days following the commencement of its occurrence. No extension for improvements, renovations, or alterations shall be due or granted if Tenant fails to provide plans and specifications or if Tenant fails to apply for its permits in the time and manner provided by Exhibit C of this Lease. Any delay in Landlord’s performance of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease resulting from any of the above Force Majeure Events beyond Landlord’s control, shall toll the time for Landlord’s performance. For the avoidance of doubt, a Force Majeure Event shall not include (i) the financial inability or unwillingness of either Party to pay amounts owing under this Lease, (ii) the inability of either Party to generate revenue or avoid a financial loss, or (iii) changes in market conditions or prices.

The masculine pronoun used herein shall include the feminine or the neuter as the case may be, and the use of the singular shall include the plural, as the context may require.
27.11 Obligations of Successors. Each and all of the provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, subject, however, to all agreements, covenants, and restrictions contained elsewhere in this Lease with respect to the assignment, transfer, encumbering or subletting of all or any part of either Party’s interest in this Lease or the Premises.
27.12 Cumulative Rights. The various rights, options, elections, powers and remedies contained in this Lease shall be construed as cumulative and no one remedy shall be exclusive of any other remedy, or of any other legal or equitable remedy which either Party might otherwise have in the event of breach or default in the terms hereof, and the exercise of one right or remedy by such Party shall not impair its right to any other right or remedy until all obligations imposed upon the other Party have been fully performed.
27.13 Time. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of each of the covenants and agreements contained in this Lease.
27.14 Relationship of Parties. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the Parties or by any third person to create the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture or of any association between Landlord and Tenant, and neither the method of computation of rent nor any other provision contained in this Lease nor any acts of the Parties shall be deemed to create any relationship between Landlord and Tenant other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.

27.16 Real Estate Brokers. Except as herein specifically set forth, Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant that there are no claims for brokerage commissions or finder’s fees in connection with the execution of this Lease, and agree to indemnify, defend and protect the other from all liability for such claim arising out of the actions of the indemnifying Party, including, without limitation, the cost of attorney fees in connection therewith. Any commission payable by Landlord shall be paid no sooner that the date Tenant opens for business.
27.17 No Offer to Lease. The submission of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer to lease, or a reservation of, or option for, occupancy of the Premises; and this document shall become effective and binding only upon execution and delivery hereof by Xxxxxx and by Landlord (or, when duly authorized, by Xxxxxxxx’s agent or employee).
