Accordingly, Tenant and Landlord agree that the Property is delivered to Tenant as of the Lease Commencement Date in its "as is, where is" condition and with all faults, and Landlord shall have no obligations to perform any work on the Property, make any improvements thereto or otherwise prepare the Property for occupancy by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent nor affiliate of Landlord has made any representation as to the condition of the Property or the suitability of the Property for the intended use by Tenant, its affiliates or any party claiming under Tenant. Tenant represents and warrants that Tenant has made its own inspection of and inquiry regarding the condition of the Property and is not relying on any representations of Landlord or any other party with respect thereto.
x.Xxxxxx Lease.
i.Pursuant to that certain Lease between Tenant, as “landlord”, and Xxxxxx Corporation, a Delaware corporation, as tenant ("Henkel Tenant"), dated as of July 3, 2019 (the "Henkel Lease") (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E), Henkel Tenant, as of the Effective Date, leases and occupies certain portions of the Property (as more particularly described in the Henkel Lease, the "Henkel Premises"). The parties acknowledge and agree that Landlord has acquired the Property subject to the Henkel Lease.
ii.Assignment of Henkel Lease. Effective as of the Effective Date, Landlord, as assignor, hereby assigns and delivers to Tenant, as assignee, all of Landlord's estate, right, title and interest in and to the Henkel Lease and Tenant hereby accepts such assignment and assumes all of Landlord's obligations and/or covenants under the Henkel Lease. In furtherance of the foregoing assignment, the parties hereby agree and acknowledge that, as of the Effective Date, the Henkel Lease shall be deemed a sublease between Tenant (as sublandlord) and Henkel Tenant (as subtenant). In furtherance of the foregoing, from and after the Effective Date, Landlord is hereby released from, and Tenant expressly assumes and shall be responsible for, all obligations and/or covenants on the part of “landlord” under the Henkel Lease, and Tenant agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord and the Landlord Indemnified Parties (as defined in Section 9.01 below), harmless from and against any and all liabilities, judgments, damages, losses, costs, fines, penalties, costs, expenses, attorneys' fees, court costs and claims (collectively, "Henkel Liabilities"), which may at any time be asserted against Landlord by (a) Henkel Tenant for failure of Tenant to perform any of the obligations and/or covenants on the part of "Landlord" under the Henkel Lease, or (b) Henkel Tenant or any other person or entity by reason of the lease, use and/or occupancy of the Henkel Premises under or otherwise in connection with the Henkel Lease; except that the foregoing shall not relieve Landlord of any Henkel Liabilities to the extent arising on account of Landlord's breach of its obligations under this Lease or Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct (subject, however, to the waivers described in Section 9.04).. The provisions of this Section 2.03(a) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Henkel Lease and/or this Lease.

Exhibit 10.2*
iii.Surrender Obligation. Tenant further acknowledges that its obligations hereunder to vacate and surrender the entire Property when and as required pursuant to the terms of this Lease, including without limitation its obligations to remediate and clean-up the Property
under Section 3.04(c), shall extend to the Henkel Premises. In furtherance of the foregoing, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all legal actions as may be necessary against the Henkel Tenant (including, summary process proceedings) in order for Tenant to comply with Tenant's obligation to vacate and surrender the entire property (including the Henkel Premises) when and as required hereunder. In furtherance thereof, the parties acknowledge that concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease (and in accordance with Section of the Purchase and Sale Agreement), Tenant has delivered to Henkel Tenant an effective notice of termination in accordance with Section 2 of the Henkel Lease pursuant to which the Henkel Lease will terminate by no later than the expiration of the Initial Term.
ARTICLE THREE - LEASE TERM, SURRENDER AND HOLDING OVER
a.Lease Term. The Term of this Lease shall commence on the Lease Commencement Date and expire on the Expiration Date unless sooner terminated or extended pursuant to the express terms of this Lease.
b.Extension Option. So long as Tenant is not in Default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods on the date that Tenant exercises the Extension Option (as defined below) and at Landlord’s election as of the commencement of the Extension Option, Tenant shall have the right and option (the "Extension Option") to extend the Initial Term for one
(1) period of six (6) months (the "Extended Term"), exercisable by written notice given to Landlord ("Exercise Notice") not later than nine (9) months prior to the last day of the Initial Term as then in effect. Extension of the Term pursuant to the Extension Option shall be on all the same terms and conditions as this Lease, except that during the Extended Term Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly base rent equal to $604,015.00 (the "Extended Term Monthly Base Rent"), due on the first day of each calendar month of the Extension Term without demand, notice, offset or deduction. The rights contained in this Section 3.02 shall be personal to the Tenant named in this Lease (the "Original Tenant") or an Affiliated Assignee (as defined in Section 12.03 below) and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or such Affiliate Assignee (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant's interest in this Lease). Tenant's failure to deliver the Exercise Notice on or before the date specified above shall be deemed to constitute Tenant's election not to exercise the Extension Option.
c.Intentionally Deleted.
d.Surrender and Condition upon Lease Expiration or Termination.
i.On or before the expiration of the Term or any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender and yield up the Property to Landlord in the condition in which Tenant is required to maintain the Property during the Term pursuant to Section 7.01 below and otherwise broom-clean, free of all Hazardous Materials for which Tenant is responsible pursuant to Article 8 and this Section 3.04 below and also free of Tenant's furniture, equipment, signage,
-4-
Exhibit 10.2*
trade fixtures and other personal property (except for any Allowable Personal Property, as defined below), and free from all occupants, subtenants, or other persons or entities claiming rights of possession by, through or under Tenant. Landlord may treat any personal property not so removed by the date required hereunder as abandoned and may dispose of the same, with the actual out-of- pocket cost of disposal to Landlord to be paid by Tenant upon receipt of an invoice
therefor in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not be obligated to surrender any Demolition Premises (as defined herein) in any particular condition or free from any of Tenant's trade fixtures, except that any Demolition Premises shall be surrendered free from all Hazardous Materials for which Tenant is responsible pursuant to Article 8 and this Section 3.04 below, and free from Tenant’s furniture, equipment, signage and other personal property (except for any Allowable Personal Property, as defined below), occupants, subtenants, or other persons or entities claiming rights of possession by, through or under Tenant.
ii.No later than sixty (60) days prior to the Expiration Date, Tenant may at its election deliver to Landlord notice containing a written schedule of personal property that Tenant does not desire to remove from the Property at the conclusion of the Term (the "Proposed Schedule"). Upon its receipt of such Proposed Schedule, Landlord shall have fifteen
(15) business days to deliver to Tenant a written response pursuant to which Landlord shall in its sole discretion either accept or reject, on a line item basis (or otherwise, by a categorical rejection of all such items), the personal property identified in the Proposed Schedule. Any items of Tenant's personal property that Landlord so accepts (the "Allowable Personal Property") may, at Tenant's election, remain at the Property on or after the Expiration Date and any items of Tenant's personal property that Landlord so rejects shall be removed from the Property by Tenant on or before the Expiration Date. Landlord's failure to timely respond to the Proposed Schedule, or to so accept or reject any particular line items therein within five (5) business days after receipt of a second (2nd) written notice from Tenant (i.e., in addition to the original notice containing the Proposed Schedule) stating in all capital letters that Landlord’s continued failure to respond will result in Landlord’s deemed acceptance of all items referred to in the Proposed Schedule, shall constitute Landlord's acceptance thereof.
iii.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease and in addition to Tenant’s obligations set forth in 8.04 below, because portions of the Property are being used as laboratory space and manufacturing space (collectively, the "Lab Space"), then upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all furniture, fixtures, equipment and other property from such Lab Space (excepting any Allowable Personal Property) and return such space to Landlord in the condition required under Section 7.01 below. Furthermore, at least thirty (30) days prior to Tenant's surrender of possession of the Property (or in the event of an earlier termination of this Lease, as soon as reasonably possible following such termination), Tenant shall provide Landlord with a facility decommissioning and Hazardous Materials closure plan for the Lab Space which complies with the American National Standards Institute's Laboratory Decommissioning guidelines (ANSI/AIHA Z9.11-2016) or any successor standards published by ANSI or any successor organization (or, if ANSI and its successors no longer exist, a similar entity publishing similar standards) ("Exit Survey") prepared by an independent third party state-certified professional with appropriate expertise, in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord. In addition, at least ten (10) days prior to Tenant's surrender
-5-
Exhibit 10.2*
of possession of any Lab Space, Tenant shall (i) provide Landlord with written evidence of all appropriate governmental releases obtained by Tenant in accordance with Legal Requirements (e.g., decommissioning of any radioactive licenses) and relating to any Hazardous Materials used at the Property, and (ii) conduct a site inspection with Landlord. Tenant agrees to remain responsible after the surrender of the Property for the remediation of any recognized environmental conditions set forth in the Exit Survey (and the Environmental Assessment as applicable) in accordance with a remediation plan reasonably approved by Landlord. Tenant's
-6-
Exhibit 10.2*
obligations under this Section 3.04 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease
e.Demolition Premises. As used herein, "Demolition Premises" shall mean any portions of the Property that Landlord in its sole discretion intends to demolish or perform a so- called gut rehabilitation with respect to which following the termination or expiration of this Lease. Landlord agrees to notify Tenant promptly upon Landlord's determination of any Demolition Premises.
f.Holding Over. Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Property in accordance with Section 3.03 and the terms of this Lease on or before the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease. Any failure by Tenant to timely surrender the Property in accordance with Section
3.03 shall render Tenant a tenant at sufferance at a monthly base rental rate equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Extended Term Monthly Base Rent rental rate for the first thirty
(30) days of any holding over and at a monthly base rental rate equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Extended Term Monthly Base Rent rental rate thereafter. Tenant agrees that any holding over by the Henkel Tenant under the Henkel Lease that extends beyond the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or the date Tenant is required to vacate and surrender the Property will be deemed to be a holdover by Tenant under this Lease. During any such holding over, Tenant's holding over shall be subject to all of the other terms and provisions of this Lease. Acceptance by Landlord of Rent after such expiration or earlier termination shall not constitute a consent to a hold over hereunder or result in an extension of this Lease. If Tenant holds over for more than thirty (30) days, then Tenant shall also indemnify, defend and pay to Landlord and Landlord Indemnified Parties (as defined below) all losses, costs, damages and/or claims sustained by Landlord resulting from retention of possession by Tenant beyond such thirty (30) days (the "30-Day Period"), including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any contractor or other third party with whom Landlord has a written contract relating to any interference with or delays in the demolition, development, redevelopment or refurbishment of the Property and/or any succeeding tenant under a lease or occupancy agreement or purchaser under a written purchase agreement founded upon such failure to surrender (any such contract, lease or purchase agreement being a "Third Party Agreement"); provided that if Landlord shall have notified Tenant by no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Expiration Date of the existence of any Third Party Agreement(s) that require(s) Landlord to have possession and control of the Property by the Expiration Date in order for Landlord to perform its obligations thereunder, then Tenant shall be liable under the foregoing indemnification in this Section 3.06 with respect to claims against Landlord under such Third Party Agreement without regard to the 30-Day Period.
ARTICLE FOUR - RENT
a.Base Rent. Except with respect to Extended Term Monthly Base Rent as set forth in Section 3.02, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any so-called base rent, fixed rent or minimum rent under this Lease.
-7-
Exhibit 10.2*
b.Additional Rent. All sums other than Extended Term Monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, or otherwise designated to be additional rent under this Lease, shall be deemed "Additional Rent" under this Lease. Additional Rent due from Tenant
to Landlord shall be payable at the Address of Landlord for Rent Payment or at such other place or to such other person as Landlord may designate in writing from time to time.
c.Tenant's Operation and Maintenance Expenses. Tenant shall be responsible for and promptly pay, directly to all suppliers, vendors, carriers, contractors, agents, insurers, service providers and other applicable parties, all the costs of the operation, management, insurance, maintenance, replacement and repair of the Property or any part thereof (subject to the provisions of Article 7 below), and all other costs and expenses with respect to the Property or any part thereof, in each case except to the extent any costs are the responsibility of Landlord as expressly set forth in this Lease or are otherwise expressly stated herein to not be Tenant's obligation (collectively "Tenant Direct Expenses"). If Landlord pays for any Tenant Direct Expenses in accordance with the terms of this Lease, then Tenant's obligation to reimburse Landlord for such costs shall be an Additional Rent obligation payable in full within thirty (30) days of invoice from Landlord in reasonable detail.
ARTICLE FIVE - PROPERTY TAXES
a.Real Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, all of the Real Property Taxes on the Property allocable to the Term of this Lease based on a 365 day fiscal tax year. If Tenant is billed for such Real Property Taxes directly by the City of Cambridge taxing authority, Tenant shall make such payments directly to the taxing authority prior to their due date and, if requested by Landlord, provide Landlord with reasonable evidence of payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Landlord is billed directly by the taxing authority for any Real Property Taxes allocable to the Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord for such Real Property Taxes within thirty (30) days of receipt of Landlord's invoice therefor, and prior to delinquency (provided that Landlord's invoice shall have been delivered to Tenant at least twenty
(20) days prior to the date of delinquency), containing a copy of the taxing authority's xxxx therefor, and Landlord shall pay such Real Property Taxes directly to the taxing authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, if the City of Cambridge tax assessors shall increase the valuation of the Property for fiscal year 2022 such that the Real Property Taxes increase by an amount that is 50% more than the Real Property Taxes assessed for fiscal year 2021, then (a) Tenant's obligation hereunder for Real Property Taxes for fiscal year 2022 (or any applicable portion thereof) shall be adjusted such that Tenant shall not be liable for paying for any Real Property Taxes in excess of the Real Property Taxes that would have been assessed had such increase in Real Property Taxes from fiscal year 2021 to fiscal year 2022 been limited to 50% (the "Tax Cap") and (b) Landlord shall be responsible for promptly paying or reimbursing Tenant for any Real Property Taxes in excess of the Tax Cap, in each case (a) or (b) to the extent allocable to the Term based on a 365-day year. In the event that Tenant and Landlord shall each be responsible for a portion of Real Property Taxes over a given period under the preceding sentence, those percentages shall be referred to herein as the "Respective Percentages."
-8-
Exhibit 10.2*
b.Definition of "Real Property Taxes". "Real Property Taxes" shall mean taxes, assessments (special, betterment, or otherwise), levies, fees, rent taxes, impositions, excises, charges, water and sewer rents and charges, and all other government levies and charges, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, which are imposed or levied upon or assessed against the Property. Real Property Taxes shall not include (a) federal, state or local income taxes; (b) franchise, gift, transfer, corporation, estate, excise, capital stock,
succession or inheritance taxes; (c) penalties or interest for the late payment of real estate taxes (except to the extent resulting from any late payment of real estate taxes by Tenant); and (d) the portion of real estate taxes allocable to any capital improvements made to the Property by Landlord after the date this Lease is signed, except to the extent the capital improvements were done (i) at the direction of or request of the Tenant, (ii) as may be required by Legal Requirements in connection with Tenant's use of the Property and/or any alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant, or (iii) as may be required to maintain the Property pursuant to Article 7 below. If at any time during the Term the present system of ad valorem taxation of real property shall be changed so that in lieu of the whole or any part of the ad valorem tax on real property, or in lieu of increases therein, there shall be assessed on Landlord a capital levy or other tax on the gross rents received with respect to the Property or a federal, state, county, municipal, or other local income, franchise, excise or similar tax, assessment, levy, or charge (distinct from any now in effect) measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon gross rents, then all of such taxes, assessments, levies, or charges, to the extent so measured or based, shall be deemed to be Real Property Taxes under this Lease.
c.Tax Contests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Tenant shall deem itself aggrieved by any increase in the assessment of Real Property Taxes and shall in good faith desire to contest the payment thereof, then Tenant may make such payment under protest and, so long as postponement of such payment does not jeopardize Landlord's title to the Property, Tenant may contest the same with the taxing authority provided that it shall secure such payment and the interest and penalties thereon to the taxing authority if and to the extent required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not contest or protest the payment of any Real Property Taxes or discontinue any abatement proceedings begun by it without first giving Landlord written notice of its intent so to do and allowing Landlord, at Landlord's election by written notice to Tenant, to contest or protest such payments and/or be substituted in such proceedings, in which case Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to pursue such contest or protest in good faith and keep Tenant reasonably apprised of the contest or protest. If the Real Property Taxes to be contested by Tenant are in Landlord's name, then Tenant may prosecute such contest in the name of Landlord and Landlord shall, at Tenant's request, sign all instruments reasonably necessary or appropriate therefor in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and otherwise reasonably cooperate with Tenant, in connection therewith (at no material out-of-pocket cost to Landlord unless Tenant shall agree to reimburse Landlord for such cost). If Tenant is contesting any Real Property Taxes, then Tenant shall keep Landlord reasonably apprised thereof. If Landlord shall determine that Tenant's contest of Real Property Taxes would be reasonably likely to materially and adversely interfere with, delay or materially increase the cost of any demolition, development, redevelopment, refurbishment or sale of any portion of the Property by Landlord as determined by Landlord in good faith, then Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, inform Tenant of such determination and elect to take over the contest and be substituted for Tenant in such proceedings. If the Real Property Taxes to be contested by
-9-
Exhibit 10.2*
Landlord are in Tenant's name, then Landlord may prosecute such contest in the name of Tenant and Tenant shall, at Landlord's request, sign all instruments reasonably necessary or appropriate therefor, and otherwise reasonably cooperate with Landlord, in connection therewith (at no material out-of-pocket cost to Tenant unless Landlord shall agree to reimburse Tenant for such cost). If Landlord is contesting any Real Property Taxes, then Landlord shall keep Tenant reasonably apprised thereof. Any abatements or refunds of Real Property Taxes under this Section 5.03 shall be allocated as follows, in each case pro rata and pari passu:
First, to Tenant and Landlord to reimburse each of them for their respective actual out-of- pocket costs and expenses of the applicable contest or protest of Real Property Taxes, including, without limitation, any appraisal fees and reasonable attorneys' fees (it being acknowledged that customary contingent fees payable to attorneys shall be deemed reasonable); and
Second, to Tenant and Landlord in proportion to their Respective Percentages (as and to the extent applicable to the abated or refunded Real Estate Taxes).
The provisions of this Section 5.03 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE SIX - UTILITIES
a.Utilities. Tenant shall promptly pay, directly to the appropriate supplier or utility provider, all costs of all natural gas, heat, cooling, energy, light, power, water, sewer service, telephone, cable, data, internet service, refuse disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the Property (collectively, "Utilities") and allocable to the Term, together with any related installation or connection charges or deposits. Tenant's payment obligations for any municipal water or sewer services billed directly to Tenant shall be Additional Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may elect to have the bills for municipal water or sewer service put in Landlord's name and paid directly by Landlord, in which event Tenant shall pay Landlord directly for such services, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days of receipt of Landlord's invoice therefor containing a copy of the water/sewer authority's xxxx therefor. No interruption or failure of Utilities, from any cause whatsoever, shall constitute a default by Landlord under this Lease, or result in eviction or constructive eviction of Tenant, termination of this Lease or the abatement of rent, and Landlord shall not be liable for damages, arising out of any curtailment or interruption whatsoever in Utilities or services therefor; except for (but subject to the limitations on Landlord’s liability set forth in Section 15.01) (i) any damages incurred by Tenant as a result of any interruption or failure of Utilities arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, agent or contractors to the extent occurring prior to the Extended Term or (ii) with respect to an Abatement Event as set forth in Section 6.02 below to the extent occurring from and after the Extended Term.
b.Abatement Event. An "Abatement Event" shall be defined as an event that prevents Tenant from using the Property or any portion thereof, as a result of any failure to provide services or access to the Property, where (i) such event is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors and is within Landlord's reasonable control, (ii) Tenant cannot and does not actually use the Property or such portion
-10-
Exhibit 10.2*
thereof for its ordinary course purposes as of the Effective Date, and (iii) such event is not caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors. Tenant shall give Landlord notice ("Abatement Notice") of any such Abatement Event, and if such Abatement Event continues beyond the "Eligibility Period" (as that term is defined below), then the Extended Term Monthly Base Rent during the Extended Term, if applicable, shall be abated entirely or equitably reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from so using, and does not so use, the Property or a portion thereof; provided, however, in the event that Tenant is prevented from so using, and does not so use, a portion of the Property for a period of time in excess of the
Eligibility Period and the remaining portion of the Property is not sufficient to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its business therein, and if Tenant does not so conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for such time after expiration of the Eligibility Period during which Tenant is so prevented from effectively conducting its business therein, the Extended Term Monthly Base Rent for the Extended Term, if applicable, for the entire Property shall be abated entirely for such time as Tenant continues to be so prevented from so using, and does not so use, the Property. If, however, Tenant resumes such use of any portion of the Property during such period, the Extended Term Monthly Base Rent for the Extended Term, if applicable, equitably allocable to such reoccupied portion, shall be payable by Tenant from the date Tenant so resumes such use of such portion of the Property. The term "Eligibility Period" shall mean a period of three (3) consecutive business days after Landlord's receipt of any Abatement Notice(s). Such right to xxxxx Extended Term Monthly Base Rent for the Extended Term, if applicable, shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity for an Abatement Event occurring during the Extended Term. If a fire or other casualty results in Tenant's inability to use the Property or a portion thereof, the terms and conditions of Article 10 below shall apply rather than this Section 6.02.
ARTICLE SEVEN - CONDITION AND MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY
a.Tenant's Obligations. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain, replace and repair the Property in at least the same condition as existed on the Lease Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted and excepting any items that are the responsibility of Landlord to repair or maintain as expressly set forth in this Lease or to the extent that such items that are damaged or otherwise requiring of maintenance or repair due to the negligence of willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors (but subject to the waivers described in Section 9.04); provided, however, that Tenant shall have no responsibility for making any Capital Repairs except for any such Capital Repairs ("Tenant Capital Repairs") as may be required by Legal Requirements in connection with Tenant's specific manner of use of the Property (as opposed to a general office, warehouse or research & development use) and/or any alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant or any Tenant Party. Tenant shall be responsible for any necessary snow and ice removal at the Property. As used in this Lease, "Capital Repair" shall mean a repair or maintenance activity under this Lease the cost of which exceeds $25,000 per item and that is otherwise required to be capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied ("GAAP").
b.Landlord's Obligations. Landlord shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense,
for:
-11-
Exhibit 10.2*
i.repairing and maintaining all building structures and structural systems, roofs and roof membranes, foundations, and building exteriors (except for Tenant's signage, if any) at the Property, including making any or all Capital Repairs in connection therewith;
ii.repairing and maintaining all drainage systems (including gutters and downspouts), including making any or call Capital Repairs in connection therewith, except that the cost of any such repair or maintenance of drainage systems shall be chargeable to Tenant as a Tenant Direct Expense, (provided that, with respect to any such Capital Repairs,
Landlord's costs thereof shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over an imputed useful life of ten (10) years and only the annual depreciation thereof as shall be applicable during the Term shall be charged to Tenant as a Tenant Direct Expense; and
iii.making any or all Capital Repairs at the Property other than as covered in the foregoing clauses (a) or (b) and other than any Tenant Capital Repairs,
in each such case (a), (b) or (c) as may be necessary in order to keep the same in a good and safe operating condition and in compliance with Legal Requirements (except where Tenant is responsible for such compliance as provided under this Lease), reasonable wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted and excepting any items damaged or otherwise requiring of maintenance or repair to the extent due to the negligence of willful misconduct of Tenant or its employees, agents or contractors (in each of which events of negligence or willful misconduct Tenant shall be responsible to the extent of such negligence or willful misconduct, subject, however, to the waivers described in Section 9.04). Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary (including without limitation the immediate following sentence below), upon Tenant's written request, Landlord shall perform, at its sole cost and expense, all repairs required to any such portions of the Property to the extent damaged by, or otherwise requiring maintenance or repair to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors (subject, however, to the waivers described in Section 9.04). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.02 (other than the immediately preceding sentence), if Landlord's obligation to make a Capital Repair under the foregoing clause
(c) of this Section 7.02 (a "Landlord Capital Repair") will require Landlord to expend more than
$500,000 (the “Landlord Capital Repair Cap”) in the aggregate for all Landlord Capital Repairs during the entire Term then, in lieu of making such Landlord Capital Repair, Landlord shall have the right in its sole discretion to notify Tenant of Landlord's intention to terminate this Lease effective not less than ninety (90) days thereafter; provided that Tenant may, within fifteen (15) business days after receiving Landlord's termination notice, elect in its sole discretion to nullify Landlord's termination notice, in which case (i) Landlord shall have no obligation to make the particular Landlord Capital Repair that gave rise to Landlord's termination notice (the "Triggering Capital Repair") or any subsequent Landlord Capital Repairs, (ii) Tenant may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Triggering Capital Repair and any subsequent Landlord Capital Repair at its sole cost and expense (but subject to the further provisions hereof), except

Tenant agrees that if Tenant does not take out and maintain such insurance or furnish Landlord with renewals or binders in a timely manner, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) procure said insurance on Tenant's behalf and charge Tenant the cost thereof, which amount shall be payable by Tenant upon demand with interest (at the rate set forth in Section 20(e) below) from the date such sums are expended. Tenant shall have the right to provide such insurance coverage pursuant to blanket policies obtained by Tenant, provided such blanket policies expressly afford coverage to the Property and to Tenant as required by this Lease.
d.Waiver of Subrogation. The property insurance obtained by each of Landlord and Tenant shall include a waiver of subrogation by the insurers and all rights based upon an assignment from its insured, against Landlord or Tenant, and their respective officers, directors, employees, managers, members, partners, agents, invitees and contractors, and any affiliates of Tenant in occupancy of the Property (collectively, with respect to either party, the "Related Parties"), in connection with any loss or damage thereby insured against. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither party nor its respective Related Parties shall be liable to the other for loss or damage caused by any risk insured against under property insurance required to be maintained hereunder, and each party waives any claims against the other party, and its respective Related Parties, for such loss or damage. The failure of a party to insure its property shall not void this waiver. Landlord and its respective Related Parties shall not be liable for, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against such parties for, business interruption and losses occasioned thereby sustained by Tenant, any or Tenant's Related Parties or any person claiming through Tenant resulting from any accident or occurrence in or upon the Property from any cause whatsoever. If the foregoing waivers shall contravene any law with respect to exculpatory agreements, the liability of Landlord or Tenant shall be deemed not released but shall be secondary to the other's insurer
e.Compliance with Insurance Requirements. If, due to a change in Tenant's use or operations, the premiums for Landlord's insurance maintained under Section 9.02(a) shall increase, then Tenant shall either cease the activity causing such increase or pay for such increase as a Tenant Direct Expense. Tenant shall provide Landlord and Landlord’s insurer(s) with such information regarding the use of the Property and any damage to the Property as they may require in connection with the placement of insurance for the Property or the adjusting of any losses to the Property. Tenant shall, at its own expense, comply with all reasonable insurance requests applicable to the Property including, without limitation, the installation of fire extinguishers and fire sprinkler system.
ARTICLE TEN - DAMAGE OR TAKING
-24-
Exhibit 10.2*
a.Termination. In the event that the entire Property, or a substantial portion thereof (including access or parking facilities) such that the remainder is rendered unsuitable for the Permitted Uses as determined by either Tenant or Landlord in its reasonable discretion, shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or casualty (each, a "Casualty") or taken by any public authority or for any public use or by the action of any public authority, then this Lease may be terminated at the election of either Tenant or Landlord, by written notice to the non-terminating party within thirty (30) days after the date such Casualty or taking shall have occurred. However, if Landlord elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to the foregoing sentence in the event of a Casualty, then Landlord's notice of termination must include a statement by Landlord that, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, the repairs necessary to restore the affected portion(s) of the Property in accordance with Section 10.03 are (i) estimated to cost more than $500,000 in the aggregate and
i.cannot be completed by the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the Casualty unless the then remaining Term is less than six (6) months and provided that if Landlord is satisfying its right to terminate under this sentence by reference to the foregoing clause (ii) and if the Extension Option is then still exercisable by Tenant in accordance with Section 3.02, then Tenant shall have the right to nullify Landlord's termination notice by exercising its Extension Option (x) by no later than the earlier to occur of fifteen (15) days following its receipt of Landlord's termination notice or the last date by which Tenant may effectively exercise its Extension Option under Section 3.02 and (y) otherwise in accordance with Section 3.02.
b.Partial Termination. If notwithstanding Landlord's delivery of a termination notice under Section 10.01, Tenant desires to continue to operate or to consolidate any of its operations in portions of the Property (including such exterior areas as shall be necessary to support such operations) that were not materially damaged by the Casualty (the "Remaining Portions"), then Tenant may notify Landlord thereof by no later than fifteen (15) days following its receipt of Landlord's termination notice and this Lease shall not be so terminated and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the Remaining Portions (mutadis mutandis), with Extended Term Monthly Base Rent (if applicable) and regularly recurring items of Additional Rent equitably abated, and Tenant may operate in the Remaining Portions to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. However, Tenant agrees that in such event, Landlord shall have no obligation to restore the non-Remaining Portions of the Property (except that Landlord shall provide that all non-Remaining Areas be kept and maintained in a safe and secure manner) and such failure to by Landlord to restore the damaged portions of the Property shall not constitute a default by Landlord under this Lease, or result in eviction or constructive eviction of Tenant, or termination of this Lease, and Landlord shall not be liable for damages arising out of any curtailment or interruption whatsoever in Tenant’s operations on account thereof.
c.Restoration. If Tenant or Landlord does not so elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall restore the Property to a safe condition for use, with reasonable promptness and diligence to the extent permitted by the net proceeds of insurance recovered or damages awarded from such destruction or damage or taking, and subject to zoning and building laws then in existence, and during such restoration period, an equitable abatement of Extended Term Monthly Base Rent (if applicable) and Additional Rent shall be made for the portion of the Property not fit for use and occupation. "Net proceeds of insurance recovered or damages awarded" refers to the gross amount of such insurance of damages received by Landlord less the reasonable expense of
-25-
Exhibit 10.2*
Landlord in connection with the collection of the same, including without limitation, fees and expenses for legal and appraisal services. If insurance proceeds are insufficient for such purpose, Tenant shall have an equitable abatement of rent for the portion of the Property not fit for use and occupancy during the period the same is not fit for use and occupancy.
d.Award. Irrespective of the form in which recovery may be had by law, all rights to damages or compensation from eminent domain takings shall be paid to Landlord in all cases. To the extent that Landlord's award is not reduced or prejudiced, Tenant shall be entitled to recover by separate action all of Tenant's damages for the taking of Tenant's alterations, additions, improvements, personal property and for Tenant's relocation expenses.
ARTICLE ELEVEN - QUIET ENJOYMENT
a. Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord agrees that so long as no Default by Tenant hereunder continues after uncured, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Property during the Term without any manner of hindrance or molestation from Landlord or anyone claiming under Landlord, subject, however, to all of the terms of this Lease.
ARTICLE TWELVE - ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
a.Reserved.
b.Assignment and Subletting. Tenant shall not assign, transfer, mortgage or pledge this Lease or sublease or allow any person or entity to occupy all or any part of the Property (each, a "Transfer") without obtaining, in each instance, the written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. Any attempted Transfer without Landlord's consent shall be void and shall constitute a non-curable breach of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may license the use of not more than 5% of the building floor area of the Property to one or more customers, vendors, partners, consultants, advisors or other parties with whom Tenant has a business relationship for purposes in furtherance of Tenant's business conducted at the Property and further provided that such user's use of the Property shall not violate any Laws, including zoning ordinances, to which the Property is subject. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such license shall be subject to the terms of this Lease and shall not extend beyond the Term of this Lease. Irrespective of any license, Tenant shall remain fully liable under this Lease and shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Tenant agrees to promptly provide Landlord with a list of any such licensees and their respective licensed spaces upon Landlord's reasonable request from time to time. In no event shall any assignee of Lessee have the right to exercise the Extension Option which is personal to the Tenant named in this Lease. The Henkel Lease shall not be subject to the terms and provisions of this Article 12.
c.Affiliate Transfers. The term "Affiliate" shall mean (i) any entity that is controlled by, controls or is under common control with, Tenant or (ii) any entity that merges with, is acquired by, or acquires Tenant through the purchase of stock or assets and where the net worth of the surviving entity as of the date such transaction is completed is not materially less than that
-26-
Exhibit 10.2*
of Tenant immediately prior to the transaction calculated under generally accepted accounting principles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 12, an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Property to an Affiliate of Tenant shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 12, provided that Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease or such affiliate, and further provided that such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease. An assignee of Tenant's entire interest in this Lease pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence may be referred to herein as an "Affiliated Assignee." "Control," as used in this Article 12, shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of greater than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of greater than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interest in, an entity.
d.No Release. In no event shall any Affiliate transfer set forth in Section 12.03 or the consent by Landlord to any Transfer be construed as relieving Tenant or any transferee from obtaining the express written consent of Landlord to any further Transfer, or as releasing Tenant from any liability or obligation hereunder whether or not then accrued and Tenant shall continue to be fully liable therefor.
ARTICLE THIRTEEN - DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
a.Defaults. Each of the following shall be an event of default (a "Default") under this
Lease:
i.Tenant shall fail to pay any Tenant Direct Expenses which are required to
be reimbursed to Landlord or other Additional Rent or Extended Term Monthly Base Rent (if applicable) (collectively, "Rent") or any other sum due and payable to Landlord under this Lease within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord that the same is overdue;
ii.Any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be canceled or terminated or shall expire or shall be reduced or materially changed;
iii.Tenant shall assign, sublease or otherwise transfer or attempt to transfer all or any portion of Tenant's interest in this Lease or the Property to any party other than as permitted hereunder, or Tenant's interest in this Lease shall be attached, executed upon, or otherwise judicially seized and such action is not released within ninety (90) days of the action;
iv.Tenant shall fail to discharge, bond over or otherwise obtain the release of any lien placed upon the Property in violation of this Lease within thirty (30) days after notice to Tenant that any such lien is filed against the Property;
v.Tenant shall: (A) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(B) commence any case, proceeding or other action seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as a debtor or to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts or seeking
-27-
Exhibit 10.2*
appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or of any substantial part of its property (collectively a "Proceeding for Relief"); (C) become the subject of any Proceeding for Relief which is not dismissed within ninety (90) days of its filing or entry; or
(D) be dissolved or otherwise fail to maintain its legal existence.
vi.Tenant fails to execute any document required from Tenant under Article 14 within five (5) days after a second notice requesting such document.
vii.Tenant shall fail to perform any of Tenant's other obligations under this Lease and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord; provided that if more than thirty (30) days shall be reasonably required to complete such performance, Tenant shall not be in Default if Tenant shall commence such performance within the thirty (30)-day period and shall thereafter diligently pursue its completion.
b.Payment By Landlord; Interest. Upon a Default by Tenant hereunder, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing any obligation of Tenant hereunder, make such payment or perform such act. All sums so paid or incurred by Landlord, together with interest thereon, from the date such sums were paid or incurred, at the annual rate equal to the Prime Rate of Interest as published by The Wall Street Journal from time to time plus four percent (4%) (the "Default Rate"), shall be payable to Landlord on demand as Additional Rent.
c.Late Charge. If any installment of Rent is not received by Landlord within ten
(10) days after Landlord's notice to Tenant that such payment is overdue, Landlord shall have the right to impose thereon an additional charge of five percent (5%) of the overdue amount as a late charge. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. In addition to the late charge, Rent not paid when due shall, at Landlord's election, bear interest at the Default Rate if not received by Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord's notice to Tenant that such payment is overdue, such interest to accrue from such tenth (10th) day until paid. Any late charges and interest due under this Lease shall be deemed to be Additional Rent under this Lease (but no further late charge shall be imposed and no further interest shall accrue on top of any unpaid late charge or unpaid interest charge imposed hereunder).
d.Remedies. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord, at its option, without further notice or demand to Tenant, shall have in addition to all other rights and remedies provided in this Lease, at law or in equity, the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever. No cure in whole or in part of such Default by Tenant after Landlord has taken any action beyond giving Tenant notice of such Default to pursue any remedy provided for herein (including retaining counsel to file an action or otherwise pursue any remedies) shall in any way affect Landlord's right to pursue such remedy or any other remedy provided Landlord herein or under law or in equity, unless Landlord, in its sole discretion, elects to waive such Default.
i.This Lease and the Term and estate hereby granted are subject to the limitation that whenever a Default shall have happened and be continuing, Landlord shall have the right, at
-28-
Exhibit 10.2*
its election, then or thereafter while any such Default shall continue and notwithstanding the fact that Landlord may have some other remedy hereunder or at law or in equity, to give Tenant written notice of Landlord's intention to terminate this Lease on a date specified in such notice, which date shall be not less than ten (10) days after the giving of such notice, and upon the date so specified, this Lease and the estate hereby granted shall expire and terminate with the same force and effect as if the date specified in such notice were the date hereinbefore fixed for the expiration of this Lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate, and Tenant shall be liable as hereinafter in this Section 13.04 provided. If any such notice is given, Landlord shall have, on such date so specified, the right of re-entry and possession of the Property and the right to remove all persons and property therefrom and to store such property in a warehouse or elsewhere at the risk and expense, and for the account, of Tenant. Should Landlord elect to re-enter as herein provided or should Landlord take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, Landlord may, subject to this Section 13.05 from time to time re-let the Property or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rent or rents and upon such terms and conditions as Landlord may
deem advisable, with the right to make commercially reasonable alterations in and repairs to the Property.
ii.In the event of any termination of this Lease as in this Section 13.04 provided or as required or permitted by law or in equity, Tenant shall forthwith quit and surrender the Property to Landlord, and Landlord may, without further notice, enter upon, re- enter, possess and repossess the same by summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and again have, repossess and enjoy the same free of any rights of Tenant, and in any such event Tenant and no person claiming through or under Tenant by virtue of any law or an order of any court shall be entitled to possession or to remain in possession of the Property.
iii.Actions, proceedings or suits for the recovery of damages, whether liquidated or other damages, under this Lease, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the Term of this Lease would have expired if it had not been terminated hereunder.
iv.Whether or not this Lease is terminated by Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant the sum of (i) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent that had accrued at the time of such termination; plus (ii) the costs of restoring the Property to the condition required under the terms of this Lease (including without limitation under Sections
3.04 and 8.04); plus, (iii) an amount (the "Election Amount") equal to either (A) the positive difference (if any, and measured at the time of such termination) between (1) the then-present value of the total Rent and other benefits that would have accrued to Landlord under this Lease for the remainder of the Term if Tenant had fully complied with the Lease minus (2) the then- present cash rental value of the Property as determined by Landlord for what would be the then- unexpired Term if the Lease remained in effect, computed using the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award plus one (1) percentage point or (B) twelve (12) months (or such lesser number of months as may then be remaining in the Term) of Rent at the rate last payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, in either case as Landlord specifies in such election. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Election Amount represents a reasonable
-29-
Exhibit 10.2*
forecast of the minimum damages expected to occur in the event of a breach, taking into account the uncertainty, time and cost of determining elements relevant to actual damages, such as fair market rent, time and costs that may be required to re-lease the Property, and other factors; and that the Election Amount is not a penalty. As used in item (i), above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate set forth in item (e), below, but in no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law.
v.Intentionally Omitted.
vi.Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord, in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages by reason of such termination an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, or to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages by reason of such termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law, whether such amount shall be greater or less than the excess referred to above.
vii.Nothing in this Section 13.04 shall be deemed to affect the right of either party to indemnifications pursuant to this Lease.
viii.If Default by Tenant shall occur in the keeping, observance or performance of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition herein contained, Landlord, without thereby waiving such Default, may perform the same for the account and at the expense of Tenant
(a)immediately or at any time thereafter and with only such notice, if any, as may be practicable under the circumstances in the case of an emergency or in case such Default will result in a violation of any legal or insurance requirements, or in the imposition of any lien against all or any portion of the Property not discharged, released or bonded over to Landlord's satisfaction by Tenant within the time period required pursuant to Section 7.04 of this Lease, and (b) in any other case if such Default continues after any applicable notice and cure period provided in Section
a.All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such performance by it for the account of Tenant and also all reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by Landlord in any action or proceeding (including any summary dispossess proceeding) brought by Landlord to enforce any obligation of Tenant under this Lease and/or right of Landlord in or to the Property, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within twenty (20) days after demand (which demand shall include an invoice in reasonable detail).
ix.In the event that Tenant is in Default under this Lease, whether or not Landlord exercises its right to terminate or any other remedy, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses that Landlord may incur in connection with any such breach or Default, as provided in this Section 13.04. Such costs shall include reasonable legal fees and costs incurred for the negotiation of a settlement, enforcement of rights or otherwise. Tenant shall also indemnify Landlord and Landlord Indemnified Parties against and hold Landlord and Landlord Indemnified Parties harmless from all costs, expenses, demands and liability, including without limitation, legal fees and costs Landlord or any Landlord Indemnified Parties shall incur if Landlord or Landlord Indemnified Parties shall become or be made a party to any claim or action instituted by Tenant against any third party, by
-30-
Exhibit 10.2*
any third party against Tenant or by or against any person holding any interest under or using the Property or any part thereof by sublease, license, or agreement with Tenant.
x. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 13.04, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other legal or equitable right or remedy given hereunder, or now or hereafter existing. No waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressly so made in writing by Landlord expressly waiving such provision.
xi. In the event of any default, breach or violation of Tenant's rights under this Lease by Landlord, Tenant's exclusive remedies shall be an action for specific performance or action for actual damages. Without limiting any other waiver by Tenant which may be contained in this Lease, Tenant hereby waives the benefit of any law granting it the right to perform Landlord's obligation, or the right to terminate this Lease on account of any Landlord default.
ARTICLE FOURTEEN - PROTECTION OF LENDERS
a.Subordination. Landlord shall have the option to subordinate this Lease to any ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Property, any advances made on the security thereof and any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof, whenever made or recorded (each, a "Mortgage"), provided that the holder thereof enters into an agreement with Tenant in in a customary and reasonable form, by the terms of which such holder will agree, provided Tenant is not in Default under this Lease, to recognize the rights of Tenant under this Lease and accept Tenant as tenant of the Property under the terms and conditions of this Lease in the event of acquisition of title by such holder through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise and Tenant will agree to recognize the holder of such mortgage as Landlord. Such agreement shall expressly bind and inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of Tenant and of the holder and upon anyone purchasing the Property at any foreclosure sale. If any ground lessor, beneficiary or holder of a Mortgage elects to have this Lease prior to the lien of its Mortgage and gives written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such Mortgage whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said Mortgage or the date of recording thereof.
b.Estoppel Certificates. Within ten (10) business days after Landlord's request, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written statement certifying: (i) that none of the terms or provisions of this Lease have been changed (or if they have been changed, stating how they have been changed); (ii) that this Lease has not been canceled or terminated; (iii) the last date of payment of any Additional Rent and Extended Term Monthly Base Rent (if applicable) and the time period covered by such payment (if applicable); (iv) that to Tenant's knowledge Landlord is not in default under this Lease (or if Landlord is claimed to be in default, setting forth such default in reasonable detail); and (v) such other information with respect to Tenant or this Lease as Landlord may reasonably request or which any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Property may reasonably require. Landlord may deliver any such statement by Tenant to any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Property, and such purchaser or encumbrancer may rely conclusively upon such statement as true and correct.

Events beyond Landlord's reasonable control include, but are not limited to, acts of God, war, civil commotion, labor disputes, strikes, fire, flood or other casualty, shortages of labor or material, government regulation or restriction, pandemic and weather conditions.
ii.If Tenant cannot perform any of its obligations due to events beyond Tenant's reasonable control, the time provided for performing such obligations shall be extended by a period of time equal to the duration of such events.

m.Limitations on Interest. It is expressly the intent of Landlord and Tenant at all times to comply with applicable law governing the maximum rate or amount of any interest payable on or in connection with this Lease.

there. Examples: the CUPA for cities in San Mateo County is the County Environmental Health Department; the CUPA for the City of Hayward, CA is the Hayward Fire Department; the CUPA for Mountain View is the Mountain View Fire Department; and, the CUPA for San Diego is the County of San Diego Hazardous Materials Division (HMD),
▪Yes No, not required. No, but one will be prepared and submitted, and a copy will be provided to the landlord property management company.
If one has been completed, please attach a copy. Continue to provide updated versions as they are completed. This is a legal requirement in that State law requires that the owner/operator of a business located on leased or rented real property shall notify, in writing, the owner of the property that the business is subject to and is in compliance with the Hazardous Materials Business Plan requirements (Health and Safety Code Chapter 6.95 Section 25505.1).
7-3. NOTE: Please be advised that if you are involved in any tenant improvements that require a construction permit, you will be asked to provide the local city with a Hazardous Materials Inventory Statement (HMIS) to ensure that your hazardous chemicals fall within the applicable Fire Code fire control area limits for the applicable construction occupancy of the particular building. The HMIS will include much of the information listed in Section 2-2. Neither the landlord nor the landlord's property management company expressly warrants that the inventory provided in Section 2-2 will necessarily meet the applicable California Fire Code fire control area limits for building occupancy, especially in shared tenant occupancy situations. It is the responsibility of the tenant to ensure that a facility and site can legally handle the intended operations and hazardous materials desired/ needed for its operations, but the landlord is happy to assist in this determination when possible.
