The foregoing Monthly Base Rent shall be subject to increase to the extent and as provided for in Section 1.1(17) with respect to the amortization of the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance. *See the definition of “Lease Year” below and Section 3.1 regarding the proration of Monthly Base Rent for any partial calendar month at the beginning of the first Lease Year.
2
Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of all Operating Expenses and Taxes, in addition to the Monthly Base Rent.
Deferred Base Rent; Landlord Loan: Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant may elect by written notice to Landlord to defer a portion of the Monthly Base Rent due under this Lease during the first thirty-six (36) months of the Term (the “Monthly Base Rent Deferral Period”), such portion being $0.60 per square foot of the Premises per month (i.e., $42,414.60 per month) (the “Monthly Deferral Amount”).
Such deferral of Monthly Base Rent shall be deemed to be a loan from Landlord to Tenant (the “Deferred Rent Loan”), with each Monthly Deferral Amount being deemed an advance under the Deferred Rent Loan made as of the first day of the month in which such Monthly Deferral Amount would otherwise be due and payable by Tenant as Monthly Base Rent owing hereunder. Except as otherwise provided below, no payment under the Deferred Rent Loan shall be due during the Monthly Base Rent Deferral Period.
Commencing on the first day of the thirty-seventh (37th) month of the Term, and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter to and including the first day of the sixtieth (60th) month of the Term (the “Deferred Rent Loan Final Payment Date”), the Deferred Rent Loan shall be due and payable in twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments in the amount of $65,035.72 (each a “Deferred Rent Loan Payment”) (Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that the amount of each such Deferred Rent Loan Payment includes an “interest” factor of $0.02 per square foot), each of which Deferred Rent Loan Payments shall be an obligation of Tenant to Landlord separate and apart from, and in addition to, the Monthly Base Rent amount payable hereunder by Tenant for such month. The Deferred Rent Loan may be prepaid by Tenant in whole or in part (in one or more increments of $65,035.72), at any time and from time to time prior to the Deferred Rent Loan Final Payment Date. Any partial prepayment of the Deferred Rent Loan shall be applied to the last installment payment(s) of the Deferred Rent Loan. In the event of any monetary Default by Tenant under this Lease, there shall be no further deferral of Monthly Base Rent allowed hereunder (in the event that such monetary Default occurs during the Monthly Base Rent Deferral Period); and in any case in the event of a monetary Default by Tenant under this Lease, the outstanding balance of the Deferred Rent Loan shall become immediately due and payable without notice or demand by Landlord. In the event Tenant fails to make any Deferred Rent Loan Payment when due under the Deferred Rent Loan, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid. In addition, the then outstanding balance of the Deferred Rent Loan shall be due and payable upon the termination of this Lease, if this Lease terminates for any reason prior to the Deferred Rent Loan Final Payment Date. For purposes hereof, if at any time the outstanding balance of the Deferred Rent Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to any of the foregoing provisions, such outstanding balance shall be determined by including therein the $0.02 per square foot interest factor noted above (i.e., for each three (3) Monthly Deferral Amounts that remain outstanding at such time, such outstanding principal balance shall be deemed to equal the amount of two (2) Deferred Rent Loan Payments, with appropriate proration for that portion of the outstanding Monthly Deferral Amounts equal to less than three (3) Monthly Deferral Amounts) together with any accrued but unpaid interest at the Default Rate, as provided for above; provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord be entitled to any such interest to the extent that the amount thereof would be in violation of any applicable usury law.
3
In the event Tenant elects such deferral of Monthly Base Rent as provided for above, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, on or before the Commencement Date and on or before the first day of each quarterly (3-month) period thereafter during the Monthly Base Rent Deferral Period, a Letter of Credit as security for the payment of the Deferred Rent Loan (each such Letter of Credit being referred to as a “Deferred Rent Letter of Credit”). The amount of each such Deferred Rent Letter of Credit shall be equal to the amount of $130,071.44 (i.e., two (2) monthly Deferred Rent Loan Payments), based upon the assumption that the Monthly Deferral Amount will be deferred each month during the Monthly Base Rent Deferral Period and the Deferred Rent Loan will be repaid in twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments as provided for above. In the event Tenant fails to deliver any Deferred Rent Letter of Credit within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord of such failure, such failure shall constitute a monetary Default by Tenant with respect to the Deferred Rent Loan, in which case (a) no further deferral of Monthly Base Rent shall be allowed hereunder, and (b) the outstanding balance of the Deferred Rent Loan shall become immediately due and payable without notice or demand by Landlord. In the event that Tenant fails to make a Deferred Rent Loan Payment, or otherwise fails to pay the Deferred Rent Loan at any time the same shall become due and payable hereunder, within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord of such failure, such failure by Tenant shall constitute a monetary Default by Tenant under this Lease; and in such case Landlord may draw upon the Deferred Rent Letters of Credit up to the total amount due under the Deferred Rent Loan. One Deferred Rent Letter of Credit shall be released to Tenant immediately following Tenant’s (i) payment of the second Deferred Rent Loan Payment, and (ii) payment of every second Deferred Rent Loan Payment thereafter.
(9) RENTABLE AREA OF THE PREMISES: 70,691 rentable square feet, comprised of 36,031 rentable square feet on the first floor (Suite 100) and 34,660 rentable square feet on the second floor of the Building (Suite 200)
(10) |
SUITE NUMBERS: 100 and 200 |
(11) |
SECURITY DEPOSIT: $735,893.31 |
|
The Security Deposit shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within two (2) business days after the Date of Lease by cash or a Letter of Credit. |
(12) |
TENANT’S USE OF PREMISES: General office and administration, and all legally permitted functions of a life science or research and development company, including chemistry labs, biology labs, fuel development and related uses. |
(13) |
PARKING: |
(A) Two (2) spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Premises (i.e., 142 spaces based on 70,691 rentable square feet) consisting of 132 unreserved parking spaces and 10 reserved parking spaces in the Building garage.
(B) One (1) space per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Premises (i.e., 71 spaces based on 70,691 rentable square feet) of unreserved parking spaces in the Terraces garage (0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx), the Heritage Square surface lot (0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx) and/or other
4
lots or structures in the vicinity of the Building owned or controlled by Landlord or its affiliates (the “Offsite Parking”).
The total number of parking spaces shall not exceed 3 spaces per 1,000 square feet of the Premises.
In addition, Tenant may purchase guest parking validation for its visitors using the parking facilities serving the Project at the same discount rates available to Tenant for its parking in the Building, as set forth in Section 2.7.
(14) GARAGE STORAGE FEE (if applicable pursuant to Section 6.8(e)): $1.00 industrial gross per month per usable square foot of the Garage Storage Area made available by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to Section 6.8(e), increased annually by 3%. Without limitation of the foregoing, no Operating Expenses or Taxes shall be payable in connection with Tenant’s use of the Garage Storage Area.

(16) BASIC TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE: $8,836,375.00 ($125.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises).
(17) ADDITIONAL TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE:
In addition to the Basic Tenant Improvement Allowance specified in Section 1.1(16) above, Landlord shall provide an additional tenant improvement allowance to Tenant (the “Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance”) in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance Applicable Portion, as determined in accordance with Section 4 of the Workletter. In no event shall the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance exceed a maximum of $1,767,275.00 (i.e., $25.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises).
The amount of the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance funded by Landlord shall be amortized in equal monthly installments payable by Tenant over the initial ten (10) year Term of the Lease, at an annual interest rate of 9.5%, compounded monthly, with such monthly payments to commence on the Commencement Date and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter during the initial ten (10) year Term of the Lease; and the Monthly Base
5
Rent owing hereunder shall be increased by the amount of such monthly amortization payments due hereunder (such monthly amortization payments being referred to herein as the “Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance Monthly Payments”). For example, if the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance funded by Landlord is $1,767,275.00, then, in addition to the Monthly Base Rent amount specified in Section 1.1(8) above, Tenant would owe an Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance Monthly Payment equal to $22,868.11 per month during the initial ten (10) year Term of the Lease.

(b) The Expansion Premises shall be incorporated into the Premises under the terms of this Lease, subject to the following:
(i) The Monthly Base Rent for the Expansion Premises shall be the per square foot rate applicable to the initial Premises during the Term as specified in Section 1.1(8), except that (A) during the period from the commencement date of the Lease with respect to the Expansion Premises (the “Expansion Premises Commencement Date”) until the end of the Reduced Base Rent Proration Period (as defined below), the Monthly Base Rent for the Expansion Premises shall be $1.74 per rentable square foot of the Expansion Premises, and (B) if the Reduced Base Rent Proration Period ends prior to the end of the first Lease Year, the Monthly Base Rent for the Expansion Premises for the balance of the first Lease Year shall be

As used herein, the “Reduced Base Rent Proration Period” shall be 0.079 times the number of months (including the fractional portion of a partial month) from the Expansion Premises Commencement Date to the stated Expiration Date of this Lease. Further, the terms of Section 1.1(8) regarding Deferred Base Rent shall not be applicable to the Expansion Premises.

(iv) The Expansion Premises Projected Commencement Date shall be determined by Landlord and Tenant, each acting reasonably and in good faith and utilizing a process similar to the process for determining the Projected Commencement Date under this Lease for the initial Premises. Regardless of the actual Expansion Premises Commencement Date, the Lease shall expire with respect to the Expansion Premises on the Expiration Date applicable to the initial Premises.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all rights of Tenant pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall, at Landlord’s election upon notice to Tenant, be of no further force and effect with respect to the Expansion Premises, whether or not Tenant has timely exercised the Expansion Right granted herein, if a Default (as hereinafter defined) exists at the time of exercise of the Expansion Right or at the time of commencement of the term for the Expansion Premises.
(d) If Tenant is entitled to and properly exercises its Expansion Right, Landlord shall promptly prepare an amendment to this Lease to reflect the Base Rent, Tenant Improvement Allowance, Projected Commencement Date and other appropriate terms applicable in connection
21
with the addition of the Expansion Premises to the Premises covered by this Lease (including a Workletter providing for Landlord’s construction of the tenant improvements within the Expansion Premises reflecting terms agreed to by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(iv) and otherwise consistent with the terms of the Workletter attached hereto). If accurate, Tenant shall execute and return the amendment to Landlord within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of same.
2.11 |

(a) If Tenant does not exercise the Expansion Right, then through December 31, 2008, but not thereafter, Tenant shall have a continuing right of first refusal to lease space on the balance of the second floor of the Building constituting a total of 20,880 rentable square feet (“ROFR Space”) with respect to the ROFR Space or any portion thereof that Landlord proposes to lease to a third party (the “Right of First Refusal”).
(b) Prior to entering into a letter of intent with a prospective tenant with regard to the ROFR Space or any portion thereof, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice (“Refusal Offer Notice”) describing the portion of the ROFR Space which is the subject of such proposed letter of intent, the proposed delivery date of such space, rental rate, parking terms, the term of the proposed lease (including any extension terms), and any tenant improvement allowances or improvements, alterations, or monetary concessions to be provided by Landlord, and any other material terms proposed by Landlord for the applicable ROFR Space (“Material Terms”).
(c) Tenant shall have a period of ten (10) business days in which to notify Landlord (“Response Notice”) whether it will lease the ROFR Space described in the Refusal Offer Notice on the Material Terms. If Tenant does not provide a Response Notice within such period, Landlord shall be free for a period of six (6) months after the expiration of such ten (10) business days period to enter into a lease for the ROFR Space described in the Refusal Offer Notice on terms that are not materially more favorable to a tenant the Material Terms specified in the Refusal Offer Notice; provided that this Right of First Refusal shall continue to exist for other ROFR Space which was not the subject of the Refusal Offer Notice.
(d) If Tenant provides a Response Notice agreeing to lease the ROFR Space described in the Refusal Offer Notice on the Material Terms, Landlord shall promptly prepare a lease (“ROFR Space Lease”), which shall incorporate the Material Terms and shall otherwise generally be on the same terms and conditions of this Lease (excluding, however, the business terms of this Lease applicable to the Premises, including, without limitation, Sections 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.7, 2.8 (unless otherwise applicable pursuant thereto), 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13, and with appropriate adjustments to the terms of Section 10.2 to reflect Landlord’s recapture rights applicable to the ROFR Space). Tenant agrees to sign the ROFR Space Lease (if accurate) within ten (10) days after delivery of the same.
(e) If the term for any such ROFR Space stated in the Material Terms applicable with respect thereto (including any extension option(s) provided for therein) is shorter than the Term provided for herein, then and in such event, Tenant may elect in the Response Notice to make the term of the ROFR Space described in the Refusal Offer Notice the same as the Term provided for herein (“Additional ROFR Term”) in which case the Monthly Base Rent for such ROFR
22
Space during the Additional ROFR Term shall be equal on a per square foot basis to the Monthly Base Rent applicable to the initial Premises (exclusive of the ROFR Space) from time to time during the Additional ROFR Term.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all rights of Tenant pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall, at Landlord’s election upon notice to Tenant, be of no further force and effect with respect to the ROFR Space or any portion thereof, whether or not Tenant has timely exercised the Right of First Refusal granted herein with respect thereto, if a Default (as hereinafter defined) exists at the time of exercise of the Right of First Refusal or at the time of commencement of the term for the ROFR Space or any portion thereof.
2.12 |
FIRST FLOOR RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER |
(a) Subject to the rights of other tenants pursuant to leases in effect as of the Date of Lease (as summarized in Schedule 1 attached hereto), through December 31, 2007, but not thereafter (the “Offer Period”), Tenant shall have a continuous right of first offer to lease Available Premises (as hereinafter defined) on the first floor of the Building as it becomes available (the “Right of First Offer”).
(b) As used in this Section 2.12, Available Premises shall mean space which is located on the first (1st) floor of the Building which becomes available for leasing. Tenant acknowledges that such space may be built out as spec office/lab suites. Space shall not be deemed to be Available Premises if an existing tenant occupying the Available Premises renews or extends its term pursuant to the terms of an extension right in effect on the Date of Lease and shown on Schedule 1 attached hereto.
(c) In the event that Landlord proposes to negotiate with a prospective tenant, or if Landlord otherwise intends to market the Available Premises or any portion thereof, Landlord shall give written notice thereof to Tenant (the “ROFO Offer Notice”), which notice shall include the estimated delivery date of such space to Tenant. For a period of fifteen (15) business days after receipt of Landlord’s notice, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith concerning the leasing of such space but neither party shall be obligated to enter into a lease of such space unless the parties mutually agree on the terms and conditions of such lease. Such lease shall be upon market terms, taking into account, among other criteria, the then creditworthiness of Tenant, and Tenant acknowledges that the term for such space may be different from the Term for the Premises and that the rent and tenant improvement package for such space may be different than the rent and tenant improvement package for the Premises. This Right of First Offer shall continue to exist during the Offer Period for other Available Premises.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all rights of Tenant pursuant to this Section 2.12 with respect to the subject Available Premises shall, at Landlord’s election upon notice to Tenant, be of no further force and effect with respect to such Available Premises, whether or not Tenant has timely exercised the Right of First Offer granted herein with respect thereto, and Landlord shall have no obligation to deliver any ROFO Offer Notice to Tenant with respect to such Available Premises, if a Default (as hereinafter defined) exists at the time of exercise of the Right of First Offer, or at the time that Landlord would otherwise be
23
required to deliver such ROFO Offer Notice, or at the time of commencement of the term for the applicable Available Premises.
(e) If Landlord and Tenant reach agreement upon the terms of a lease of the Available Premises or any portion thereof pursuant to Section 2.12(c), Landlord promptly shall prepare such lease setting forth the agreed terms and conditions for the Available Premises or applicable portion thereof and shall otherwise generally be on the same terms and conditions of this Lease (excluding, however, the business terms of this Lease applicable to the Premises, including, without limitation, Sections 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13, and with appropriate adjustments to the terms of Section 10.2 to reflect Landlord’s recapture rights applicable to the Available Premises). If accurate, Tenant shall execute and return such lease to Landlord within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of same.
2.13 |
OPTION TO TERMINATE |
(a) Tenant shall have the option of terminating this Lease as of the last day of the sixtieth (60th) month after the Commencement Date (“Termination Option”) with respect to the entirety of the original Premises and the Expansion Premises (if leased by Tenant pursuant to Section 2.10 above).
(b) Tenant shall exercise its Termination Option by written notice (“Termination Notice”) which must be sent, if at all, no later than the last day of the forty-seventh (47th) month of the Term. The effective date of such termination shall be the last day of the sixtieth (60th) month of the Term (“Termination Effective Date”).
(c) In the event Tenant exercises the Termination Option, Tenant shall pay Landlord an agreed upon termination fee equal to $127.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises (including, if applicable, the Expansion Premises) (the “Termination Fee”). Tenant shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the Termination Fee concurrent with delivery of the Termination Notice, and the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Termination Fee upon the Termination Effective Date.
(d) If Tenant properly exercises the Termination Option, Tenant shall remain liable for all Monthly Base Rent, Rent Adjustments and other sums due under this Lease up to and including the Termination Effective Date even though xxxxxxxx for such may occur subsequent to the Termination Effective Date; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant have any obligation to pay to Landlord the unamortized balance of the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance, if any.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.13, all rights of Tenant to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall, at Landlord’s election upon notice to Tenant, be of no further force and effect, whether or not Tenant has timely exercised the Termination Option granted herein, if a Default (as hereinafter defined) exists at the time of exercise of the Termination Option or on the Termination Effective Date.

ARTICLE 3
RENT
3.1 PAYMENT OF RENT. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord at the address specified in Section 1.1(2), or to such other persons, or at such other places designated by Landlord, without any prior demand therefor in immediately available funds and without any deduction or offset whatsoever, Rent, including Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments in accordance with Article Four, during the Term. Monthly Base Rent shall be paid monthly in advance on the first day of each month of the Term. Monthly Base Rent shall be prorated for partial months within the Term (provided, however, that if the Commencement Date occurs on a date other than the first day of a calendar month, (i) the Monthly Base Rent for such initial partial calendar month shall be prorated using a monthly rental rate of $220,768.34 per month), and (ii) Tenant thereafter shall be entitled to a full nine and one-half (9 1/2 ) months of Monthly Base Rent using the monthly rental rate of $110,384.17. Unpaid Rent shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date due until paid. Tenant’s covenant to pay Rent shall be independent of every other covenant in this Lease.
3.2 SERIES B FINANCING. In addition to the obligation to pay Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments when and as required herein, simultaneously with the closing of Tenant’s anticipated Series B Financing (or a similar equity or debt, to the extent convertible to equity, financing), Tenant shall provide Landlord, at no cost to Landlord, Series B Preferred Stock (or its equivalent) in an amount equal to $245,297.00.
ARTICLE 4
RENT ADJUSTMENTS AND PAYMENTS
4.1 |
RENT ADJUSTMENTS |
From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Rent Adjustments with respect to each calendar year (or partial calendar year in the case of the year in which the Commencement Date and the Termination Date occur) as follows:
(1) The Rent Adjustment Deposit representing Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the applicable calendar year (or partial calendar year), monthly during the Term with the payment of Monthly Base Rent; and
(2) The Rent Adjustment Deposit representing Tenant’s Share of Taxes for the applicable calendar year (or partial calendar year), monthly during the Term with the payment of Monthly Base Rent; and
(3) Any Rent Adjustments due in excess of the Rent Adjustment Deposits in accordance with Section 4.2. Rent Adjustments due from Tenant to Landlord for any calendar year (or partial calendar year) shall be Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for such calendar year (or partial calendar year) and Tenant’s Share of Taxes for such calendar year (or partial calendar year).
(4) For purposes of determining Rent Adjustments, if the Building or Property is not fully occupied during all or a portion of any calendar year during the Term, Landlord shall make
25
appropriate adjustments to the variable components of Operating Expenses for such calendar year (or partial calendar year), employing sound accounting and management principles consistently applied, to determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been paid or incurred by Landlord had the Building or Property been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied, and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of Operating Expenses for such calendar year (or partial calendar year). In the event that the Property is not fully assessed for all or a portion of any calendar year (or partial calendar year) during the Term, then Taxes shall be adjusted to an amount which would have been payable in such calendar year (or partial calendar year) if the Property had been fully assessed.
4.2 |
STATEMENT OF LANDLORD |
As soon as feasible after the expiration of each calendar year, Landlord will furnish Tenant a statement (“Landlord’s Statement”) showing the following:
(1) Operating Expenses and Taxes for the calendar year;
(2) The amount of Rent Adjustments due Landlord for the last calendar year, less credit for Rent Adjustment Deposits paid, if any; and
(3) Any change in the Rent Adjustment Deposit due monthly in the current calendar year, including the amount or revised amount due for months preceding any such change pursuant to Landlord’s Statement.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement any amounts for Rent Adjustments then due in accordance with Landlord’s Statement. Any amounts due from Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Section shall be credited to the Rent Adjustment Deposit next coming due, or refunded to Tenant if the Term has already expired. No interest or penalties shall accrue on any amounts that Landlord is obligated to credit or refund to Tenant by reason of this Section 4.2. Landlord’s failure to deliver Landlord’s Statement or to compute the amount of the Rent Adjustments shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to deliver such items nor constitute a waiver or release of Tenant’s obligations to pay such amounts. The Rent Adjustment Deposit shall be credited against Rent Adjustments due for the applicable calendar year (or partial calendar year). During the last complete calendar year or during any partial calendar year in which the Lease terminates, Landlord may include in the Rent Adjustment Deposit its estimate of Rent Adjustments which may not be finally determined until after the termination of this Lease. Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent Adjustments survives the expiration or termination of the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the sum of Monthly Base Rent and the Rent Adjustments be less than the Monthly Base Rent payable.
4.3 |
BOOKS AND RECORDS |
Landlord shall maintain books and records showing Operating Expenses and Taxes in accordance with sound accounting and management practices, consistently applied. Tenant or its representative (which representative shall be a certified public accountant licensed to do business in the state in which the Property is located and whose primary business is certified public accounting and who shall not be paid on a contingency basis) shall have the right, for a period of ninety (90) days following the date upon which Landlord’s Statement is delivered to Tenant, to
26
examine the Landlord’s books and records with respect to the items in the foregoing statement of Operating Expenses and Taxes during normal business hours, upon written notice, delivered at least three (3) business days in advance. If Tenant does not object in writing to Landlord’s Statement within ninety (90) days of Tenant’s receipt thereof, specifying the nature of the item in dispute and the reasons therefor, then Landlord’s Statement shall be considered final and accepted by Tenant and Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to dispute Landlord’s Statement. If Tenant does dispute any Landlord’s Statement, Tenant shall deliver a copy of any such audit to Landlord within 120 days after the date upon which Landlord’s Statement was delivered to Tenant. Any amount due to the Landlord as shown on Landlord’s Statement, whether or not disputed by Tenant as provided herein shall be paid by Tenant when due as provided above, without prejudice to any such written exception. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to examine Landlord’s records or to dispute any statement of Operating Expenses and Taxes unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent when due. Upon resolution of any dispute with respect to Operating Expenses and Taxes, Tenant shall either pay Landlord any shortfall or Landlord shall credit Tenant against the Rent Adjustment Deposit next coming due with respect to any overages paid by Tenant. The records obtained by Tenant shall be treated as confidential and neither Tenant nor any of its representatives or agents shall disclose or discuss the information set forth in the audit to or with any other person or entity (“Confidentiality Requirement”). Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless for any losses or damages to the extent arising out of the breach of the Confidentiality Requirement. Landlord shall pay for the reasonable third party costs of Tenant’s audit if the final determination of the dispute shows a disparity of 5% or more in Operating Expenses and Taxes over the Operating Expenses and Taxes as shown on Landlord’s Statement.
4.4 |
TENANT OR LEASE SPECIFIC TAXES |
In addition to Monthly Base Rent, Rent Adjustments, Rent Adjustment Deposits and other charges to be paid by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any and all taxes payable by Landlord (other than federal or state inheritance, general income, gift or estate taxes) whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto: (a) upon, allocable to, or measured by the Rent payable hereunder, including any gross receipts tax or excise tax levied by any governmental or taxing body with respect to the receipt of such rent; or (b) upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof; or (c) upon the measured value of Tenant’s personal property located in the Premises or in any storeroom or any other place in the Premises or the Property, or the areas used in connection with the operation of the Property, it being the intention of Landlord and Tenant that, to the extent possible, such personal property taxes shall be billed to and paid directly by Tenant; (d) resulting from any Tenant Alterations to the Premises; or (e) upon this transaction. Taxes paid by Tenant pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall not be included in any computation of Taxes payable pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2.
ARTICLE 5
SECURITY DEPOSIT
(a) Within two (2) business days after the Date of Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the Security Deposit in cash or a Letter of Credit. In the event that Tenant delivers the
27
Security Deposit in the form of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit may initially show an outside expiration date of June 21, 2018; provided, however, that promptly following the occurrence of the Commencement Date of this Lease, the Letter of Credit shall be amended such that the outside expiration date of the Letter of Credit is the date that is sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date of this Lease (as determined based upon the actual Commencement Date of this Lease).
(b) The Security Deposit may be applied by Landlord to cure, in whole or part, any Default of Tenant under this Lease, and upon notice by Landlord of such application, Tenant shall replenish the Security Deposit in full by paying to Landlord within thirty (30) days of demand the amount so applied. Landlord’s application of the Security Deposit shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s Default to the extent that the Security Deposit does not fully compensate Landlord for all losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such Default and shall not prejudice any other rights or remedies available to Landlord under this Lease or by Law. Landlord shall not pay any interest on the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts. The Security Deposit shall not be deemed an advance payment of Rent or a measure of damages for any Default by Tenant under this Lease, nor shall it be a bar or defense of any action that Landlord may at any time commence against Tenant. In the absence of evidence satisfactory to Landlord of an assignment of the right to receive the Security Deposit or the remaining balance thereof, Landlord may return the Security Deposit to the original Tenant, regardless of one or more assignments of this Lease. Upon the transfer of Landlord’s interest under this Lease, Landlord’s obligation to Tenant with respect to the Security Deposit shall terminate upon transfer to the transferee of the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord recovers possession of the Premises. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Landlord may hold and apply the Security Deposit to post termination damages and, to the extent inconsistent, Tenant hereby waives any and all rights of Tenant under the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code or other Law regarding security deposits.
(c) If Landlord draws upon the Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s draw, restore the amount available under the Letter of Credit to its original amount by providing Landlord with an amendment to the Letter of Credit evidencing that the amount available under the Letter of Credit has been restored to its original amount. In the alternative, at Tenant’s election, Tenant may deposit with Landlord a cash sum in an amount which when added to the amount available to be drawn under the Letter of Credit equals the face amount of the Letter of Credit. Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease.

(c) Landlord shall furnish to the Premises replacement lamps, bulbs, ballasts and starters used in any normal Building lighting installed in the Premises, except that if the replacement or repair of such items is a result of negligence of Tenant, its employees, agents, servants, licensees, subtenants, contractors or invitees, such cost shall be paid by Tenant within ten days after notice from Landlord and shall not be included as part of Operating Expenses.

TELEPHONE SERVICES |
All telephone, and communication connections which Tenant may desire shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, and the location of all wires and the work in connection therewith shall be performed by contractors approved by Landlord and shall be subject to the direction of Landlord, except that such approval is not required as to Tenant’s telephone equipment and Tenant’s internet connectivity (including cabling) within the Premises and from the Premises in a route designated by Landlord to any telephone cabinet or panel provided (as existing or as installed as part of Landlord’s Work, if any) on Tenant’s floors for Tenant’s connection to the telephone cable serving the Building so long as Tenant’s equipment does not require connections different than or additional to those to the telephone cabinet or panel provided. Except to the extent of such cabling within the Premises or from the Premises to such telephone cabinet or panel, Landlord reserves the right to designate and control the entity or entities providing telephone or other communication cable installation, removal, repair and maintenance in the Building and to restrict and control access to telephone cabinets or panels, so long as such entity is competitively priced with other similar vendors. In the event Landlord designates a particular vendor or vendors to provide such cable installation, removal, repair and maintenance for the Building pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant agrees to abide by and participate in such program. Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay all costs incurred in connection with the installation of telephone cables and communication wiring in the Premises, including any hook-up, access and maintenance fees related to the installation of such wires and cables in the Premises and the commencement of service therein, and the maintenance thereafter of such wire and cables; and there shall be included in Operating Expenses for the Building all installation, removal, hook-up or maintenance costs incurred by Landlord in connection with telephone cables and communication wiring serving the Building which are not allocable to any individual users of

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

Section 7.1(d), then upon receipt of written notice from Landlord or at such earlier time as Tenant obtains actual knowledge of such Release, Tenant at its sole expense shall within a reasonable time (x) in the case of a Release in violation of this Lease, cease the applicable discharge or emission and remediate any continuing effects of the discharge or emission until such time, if any, as Tenant demonstrates to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that the applicable discharge or emission is in compliance with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws and any other applicable regulatory commitments and obligations to the satisfaction of the appropriate governmental agency with jurisdiction over the Release, and (y) in the case of any other breach of Tenant’s obligations under this Section 7.1(d), take such corrective measures consistent with applicable Hazardous Materials Laws as Landlord may reasonably request in writing in order to cure or eliminate the breach as promptly as practicable and to remediate any continuing effects of the breach.

If Landlord in its reasonable discretion adopts any emergency response plan and/or any Contingency Plan and Emergency Procedures for the Building or for multiple Buildings on the Project as contemplated above, Landlord shall provide copies of any such plans and procedures to Tenant and, so long as such plans and procedures are reasonable and do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises or materially increase the cost incurred by Tenant with respect to the Premises, Tenant shall comply with all of the requirements of such plans and procedures to the extent applicable to Tenant and/or the Premises. If Landlord elects to adopt or materially modify any such plans or procedures that apply to the Building during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall consult with Tenant in the course of preparing such plans, procedures or modifications in order to try to ensure that they will accurately reflect and be consistent with Tenant’s operations in the Premises, but Landlord alone shall determine, in its good faith reasonable discretion, the appropriate scope of such consultation and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to give Tenant any right of approval or disapproval over Landlord’s adoption or modification of any such plans or procedures so long as such plans and procedures are reasonable and do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s Use at or access to the Premises or materially increase the cost incurred by Tenant with respect to the Premises.
(12) Radioactive Materials. Without limiting any other applicable provisions of this Section, if Tenant Handles or proposes to Handle any Radioactive Materials in or about

(13) Deemed Holdover Occupancy. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, Tenant expressly agrees as follows:
(i) If Tenant Handles any Radioactive Materials in or about the Premises during the Term of this Lease, then for so long as any license or permit relating to such Radioactive Materials remains open following any otherwise applicable termination or expiration of the Term of this Lease and another entity handling Radioactive Materials which is a bona fide prospective tenant of Landlord as demonstrated by a current signed lease proposal or letter of intent is legally prohibited from occupying a portion of the Premises for a use similar to the Use while such license or permit remains open, then and in such event, Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying that portion of the Premises on a holdover basis without Landlord’s consent (notwithstanding such otherwise applicable termination or expiration of the Term of this Lease) and shall be required to continue to pay Rent in accordance with the holdover provisions of this Lease solely for that portion of the Premises which is covered by the radioactive materials license or permit, until such time as all such Radioactive Materials licenses and permits have been fully closed out in accordance with the requirements of all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws.

43
prejudice to any other rights and remedies that such party may have under this Lease or under applicable law with respect to any Environmental Conditions and/or any Hazardous Materials with respect to any breach of the other party’s obligations under this Section 7.1(d). Either party’s exercise or failure to exercise, at any time or from time to time, any or all of the rights granted in this Section 7.1(d) shall not in any way impose any liability on such party or shift from the other party to such party any responsibility or obligation imposed upon the other party under this Lease or under applicable law with respect to Hazardous Materials, Environmental Conditions and/or compliance with Hazardous Materials Laws.
(15) Laboratory Rules and Regulations. Tenant agrees for itself and for its subtenants, employees, agents, and invitees to comply with the laboratory rules and regulations (“Laboratory Rules and Regulations”) attached to this Lease as Exhibit C-1 and with all reasonable modifications and additions thereto which Landlord may make from time to time.

ARTICLE 9
ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS
9.1 |
TENANT ALTERATIONS |
(a) The following provisions shall apply to the completion of any Tenant Alterations:
(1) Tenant shall not, except as provided herein, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, make or cause to be made any Tenant Alterations in or to the Premises or any Property systems serving the Premises. Prior to making any Tenant Alterations, Tenant shall give Landlord ten (10) days prior written notice (or such earlier notice as would be necessary pursuant to applicable Law) to permit Landlord sufficient time to post appropriate notices of non-responsibility. Subject to all other requirements of this Article Nine, Tenant may undertake Decoration Work and may install and remove Cable (“Cabling Work”) without Landlord’s prior written consent. For Tenant Alterations other than Decoration Work and Cabling Work, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with the names and addresses of all contractors and subcontractors and copies of all contracts. All Tenant Alterations (other than Decoration Work and Cabling Work) shall be performed only by contractors or mechanics approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, however, that Landlord may, in its sole discretion, specify the engineers and contractors to perform all work relating to the Building systems (including the mechanical, heating, plumbing, security, ventilating, air-conditioning, electrical, communication and the fire
46
and life safety systems in the Building) provided that the rates of such contractors are competitive with the rates of other contractors qualified (in Landlord’s reasonable judgment) to perform such work. The contractors, mechanics and engineers who may be used are further limited to those whose work will not cause or threaten to cause disharmony or interference with Landlord or other tenants in the Building and their respective agents and contractors performing work in or about the Building. Landlord may further condition its consent to Tenant Alterations (other than Decoration Work and Cabling Work) upon Tenant furnishing to Landlord and Landlord approving prior to the commencement of any work or delivery of materials to the Premises related to the Tenant Alterations such of the following as specified by Landlord: architectural plans and specifications, opinions from Landlord’s engineers stating that the Tenant Alterations will not in any way adversely affect the Building’s systems, necessary permits and licenses, certificates of insurance (which, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, must be delivered to and reasonably approved by Landlord in the case of Decoration Work and Cabling as well as Tenant Alterations requiring Landlord’s consent), and such other documents in such form reasonably requested by Landlord. Landlord may, in the exercise of reasonable judgment, require that Tenant provide Landlord with appropriate evidence of Tenant’s ability to complete and pay for the completion of the Tenant Alterations, which may include, in the case of Tenant Alterations costing in excess of $100,000 in the aggregate for a particular Tenant Alteration or a series of related Tenant Alterations, a performance bond or letter of credit. Upon completion of the Tenant Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an as-built mylar and digitized (if available) set of plans and specifications for the Tenant Alterations. Landlord shall review and provide its approval or comments on any submittals made by Tenant for Tenant Alterations requiring Landlord’s approval hereunder within ten (10) business days after such submittal. At the time of Landlord’s written approval of any Tenant Alteration requiring Landlord’s written approval hereunder, Landlord shall notify Tenant if such Tenant Alteration is a Required Removable (as defined in Article Twelve). Landlord’s failure to designate a Tenant Alteration as a Required Removable at the time of such approval shall be deemed Landlord’s determination that such Tenant Alteration is not a Required Removable.
(2) Tenant shall pay the cost of all Tenant Alterations. Upon completion of Tenant Alterations, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with contractors’ affidavits and full and final waivers of lien and receipted bills covering all labor and materials expended and used in connection therewith and such other documentation reasonably requested by Landlord or Mortgagee.
(3) Tenant agrees to complete all Tenant Alterations (i) in accordance with all applicable Laws, including Hazardous Materials Laws, all requirements of applicable insurance companies and in accordance with Landlord’s standard construction rules and regulations, and (ii) in a good and workmanlike manner with the use of good grades of materials. Tenant shall notify Landlord promptly if Tenant receives any notice of violation of any Law in connection with completion of any Tenant Alterations and shall promptly take such steps as are necessary to remedy such violation. In no event shall such supervision or right to supervise by Landlord nor shall any approvals given by Landlord under this Lease constitute any warranty by Landlord to Tenant of the adequacy of the design, workmanship or quality of such work or materials for Tenant’s intended use or of compliance with the requirements of Section 9.1(a)(3)(i) and (ii) above or impose any liability upon Landlord in connection with the performance of such work. With respect to any Tenant Alterations requiring Landlord’s consent and costing in excess
47
of $50,000 in the aggregate for a particular Tenant Alteration or a series of related Tenant Alterations, Landlord shall charge an administration fee of five percent (5%) of the cost of such Tenant Alterations; provided that, if Tenant requests that Landlord perform such work for Tenant and Landlord elects to do so, Landlord’s administration fee in connection therewith shall be fifteen percent (15%).
(b) All Landlord Work and Tenant Alterations whether installed by Landlord or Tenant, shall without compensation or credit to Tenant, become part of the Premises and the property of Landlord at the time of their installation and shall remain in the Premises, unless pursuant to Article Twelve, Tenant may remove them or is required to remove them at Landlord’s request (subject to Landlord’s prior approval notice referenced in Section 9(a)(1) above).
9.2 |
LIENS |
Tenant shall not permit any lien or claim for lien of any mechanic, laborer or supplier or any other lien to be filed against the Building, the Land, the Premises, or any other part of the Property arising out of work performed, or alleged to have been performed by, or at the direction of, or on behalf of Tenant. If any such lien or claim for lien is filed, Tenant shall within twenty (20) days of receiving notice of such lien or claim (a) have such lien or claim for lien released of record or (b) deliver to Landlord a bond in form, content, amount, and issued by surety, satisfactory to Landlord, indemnifying, protecting, defending and holding harmless the Indemnitees against all costs and liabilities resulting from such lien or claim for lien and the foreclosure or attempted foreclosure thereof. If Tenant fails to take any of the above actions, Landlord, in addition to its rights and remedies under Article Eleven, without investigating the validity of such lien or claim for lien, may pay or discharge the same and Tenant shall, as payment of additional Rent hereunder, reimburse Landlord upon demand for the amount so paid by Landlord, including Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and attorneys’ fees. Tenant shall not be responsible for liens arising out of the performance by Landlord of the Landlord Work, so long as Tenant has paid all sums due or owing by Tenant for costs of the Landlord Work in excess of the allowances to be provided by Landlord.
9.3 |
EQUIPMENT LEASING AND FINANCING |
Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant may enter into leases for, and/or grant security interests in, Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment, inventory and personal property in the Premises pursuant to one or more equipment leases and/or security agreements. Landlord shall (i) subordinate any landlord lien rights that it may have in and to such items to the interest of the lessor and lenders therein, and, in the case of trade fixtures, waive any claim that the same are part of the Building or the Property by virtue of being affixed thereto, and (ii) so long as this Lease is still in effect, permit the lessor and lenders under any such leases and security agreements to remove the leased or encumbered property, upon default by Tenant under such leases and security agreements, pursuant to customary, commercially reasonable lien waiver agreement(s) between Landlord and any such lessor or lender. Tenant shall be responsible for Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs in connection with the preparation and/or review of any such agreement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

ARTICLE 10
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
10.1 |
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING |
(a) Subject to Landlord’s Recapture Right in Section 10.2, if applicable, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent of Landlord shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Tenant may not sublease, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or permit the transfer of this Lease or the encumbering of Tenant’s interest therein in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises, or any part thereof, by anyone other than Tenant and its employees. Tenant agrees that the provisions governing sublease and assignment set forth in this Article Ten shall be deemed to be reasonable. If Tenant desires to enter into any sublease of the Premises or assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver written notice thereof to Landlord (“Tenant’s Notice”), together with the identity of the proposed subtenant or assignee and the proposed principal terms thereof and current financial and other information reasonably requested by Landlord in order for Landlord to make an informed judgment with respect to such proposed subtenant or assignee at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement date of the term of the proposed sublease or assignment. If Tenant proposes to sublease less than all of the Rentable Area of the Premises, the space proposed to be sublet and the space retained by Tenant must each be a marketable unit as reasonably determined by Landlord (provided that without limitation, each of the following shall be deemed to be a marketable unit for purposes of subleasing: (i) all of the space on a particular floor in the Building that constitutes a portion of the Premises, (ii) Xxxxx 000, (xxx) Xxxxx 000, or (iv) the Expansion Premises) and otherwise in compliance with all Laws. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of its approval or disapproval of the proposed sublease or assignment or, if applicable, its decision to exercise its Recapture Right under Section 10.2, within twenty (20) days after receipt of Tenant’s Notice (and all required information). Tenant shall submit for Landlord’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) any advertising which Tenant or its agents intend to use with respect to the space proposed to be sublet.
(b) With respect to Landlord’s consent to an assignment or sublease, the parties agree it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent where, without limitation of other reasonable grounds:
(1) the business reputation of the proposed subtenant or assignee is not consistent with the quality of the occupants of the Building; or
(2) the proposed assignee’s or sublessee’s use of the Premises would violate Section 7.1 of this Lease; or
(3) the proposed sublessee or assignee is a bona fide prospective tenant of Landlord for comparable available space in the Project as demonstrated by a written proposal signed by Landlord and such prospective tenant within ninety (90) days prior to the date of Tenant’s request; provided that, if Tenant delivered a Tenant’s Advance Recapture Notice (defined below) with respect to the proposed sublease or assignment and Landlord did not identify such proposed sublessee or assignee as a Landlord Current
49
Prospect (defined below) in response thereto, it shall not be deemed to be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to such sublease or assignment on the basis that the proposed sublessee or assignee is a prospective tenant of Landlord.
(c) Any sublease or assignment shall be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Any subtenant or assignee shall execute such documents as Landlord may reasonably require to evidence such subtenant or assignee’s assumption of the obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of all agreements executed by Tenant and the proposed subtenant and assignee with respect to the Premises. Landlord’s approval of a sublease, assignment, hypothecation, transfer or third party use or occupancy shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s obligation to obtain Landlord’s consent to further assignments or subleases, hypothecations, transfers or third party use or occupancy. In the case of an assignment of this Lease (other than an assignment permitted pursuant to Section 10.1(d) below). Tenant shall pay to Landlord the outstanding balance of the Deferred Rent Loan, if any, on or before the effective date of such assignment.
(d) So long as Tenant is not entering into a transaction described herein for the purpose of avoiding or otherwise circumventing the remaining terms of this Article, Tenant may, subject to Section 10.5, assign its entire interest under this Lease or sublease all or a portion of the Premises, without the consent of Landlord and without any right of recapture and without any obligation to pay Excess Rent, to (i) an Affiliate, or (ii) a successor to Tenant by purchase or other acquisition of Tenant’s capital stock or substantially all of Tenant’s assets, merger, consolidation or reorganization, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least five (5) business days prior to the effective date of the proposed transfer and such entity shall expressly assume Tenant’s obligations hereunder; (2) with respect to an assignment to an Affiliate, Tenant continues to have a net worth equal to or greater than Tenant’s net worth at the date immediately prior to such transfer; and (3) with respect to a purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization which results in Tenant ceasing to exist as a separate legal entity, Tenant’s successor shall have a net worth equal to or greater than Tenant’s net worth at the date immediately prior to such transfer.
10.2 |
RECAPTURE |
Excluding any assignment or sublease contemplated in Section 10.1(d), in the event Tenant intends to (i) assign this Lease, (ii) sublet all of Suite 100, or all of Suite 200, or all of the Expansion Premises, in each case for a term of 3 years or more, or (iii) sublet any portion of the Premises for the remaining Term, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease with respect to, and exclude from the Premises covered by this Lease (the “Recapture Right”), the space proposed to be assigned or sublet effective as of the proposed commencement date of such sublease or assignment. If Landlord is entitled to and properly exercises its Recapture Right, Tenant shall surrender possession of the space proposed to be subleased or subject to the assignment to Landlord on the effective date of recapture of such space from the Premises, and the Monthly Base Rent, Rentable Area of the Premises, Tenant’s Share, Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance Monthly Payments, and other applicable terms of this Lease shall be adjusted accordingly as of such effective date; and, in addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on such effective date that percentage of the outstanding balance of the Deferred Rent Loan, if any,
50
that is outstanding as of such effective date equal to the percentage of the area of the Premises that is then being recaptured by Landlord.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.1(a), Tenant may provide notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intent to assign or sublease as contemplated in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 10.2 above and the contemplated effective date of such assignment or sublease (“Tenant’s Advance Recapture Notice”), and within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of Tenant’s Advance Recapture Notice from Tenant, (i) Landlord will indicate in writing to Tenant whether or not Landlord exercises its Recapture Right with respect to such contemplated assignment or sublease, and (ii) in the event that Landlord does not elect to exercise its Recapture Right, Landlord may disclose the identity of any bona fide prospective tenant with whom Landlord is then in active negotiations for the lease of space in the Project comparable to the space contemplated to be assigned or sublet by Tenant (a “Landlord Current Prospect”). If Landlord elects to exercise its Recapture Right, Landlord’s election shall be deemed final and binding on Tenant unless Tenant, within five (5) business days after Landlord’s notice, rescinds Tenant’s Advance Recapture Notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intent to enter into such contemplated assignment or subletting transaction. If Landlord does not elect to exercise its Recapture Right within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of Tenant’s Advance Recapture Notice, Landlord shall be deemed to have waived its right to elect the Recapture Right as to any assignment or subletting transaction for which Tenant, during the six (6) month period after Landlord’s election or deemed election not to exercise its Recapture Right in accordance with this Section 10.2, seeks Landlord’s prior consent under Section 10.1, and Landlord’s rights with respect to any such proposed transaction shall be limited to Landlord’s rights under this Article Ten without giving effect to the terms of this Section 10.2.
10.3 |
EXCESS RENT |
Tenant shall pay Landlord on the first day of each month during the term of the sublease or assignment, fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the sum of all rent and other consideration (direct or indirect) due from the subtenant or assignee for such month exceeds: (i) that portion of the Monthly Base Rent, Rent Adjustments and Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance Monthly Payments due under this Lease for said month which is allocable to the space sublet or assigned (excluding, however, any Deferred Rent Loan Payments); and (ii) the following costs and expenses for the subletting or assignment of such space: (1) brokerage commissions and attorneys’ fees and expenses, (2) the actual costs paid in making any improvements or substitutions in the Premises required by any sublease or assignment; and (3) “free rent” periods, costs of any inducements or concessions given to subtenant or assignee, moving costs, and other amounts in respect of such subtenant’s or assignee’s other leases or occupancy arrangements. All such costs and expenses shall be amortized over the term of the sublease or assignment pursuant to sound accounting principles.
10.4 |
TENANT LIABILITY |
In the event of any sublease or assignment, whether or not with Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall not be released or discharged from any liability, whether past, present or future, under this Lease, including any liability arising from the exercise of any renewal or expansion option, to the extent such exercise is expressly permitted by Landlord. Tenant’s liability shall
51
remain primary, and in the event of default by any subtenant, assignee or successor of Tenant in performance or observance of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said subtenant, assignee or successor. After any assignment, Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease, or amendments or modifications of this Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto, and such action shall not relieve Tenant or any successor of Tenant of liability under this Lease. In addition, if Tenant has any options to extend the Term or to add other space to the Premises, such options shall not be available to any subtenant or assignee (other than an assignee pursuant to an assignment described in Section 10.1(d)), directly or indirectly without Landlord’s express written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion.
10.5 |
ASSUMPTION AND ATTORNMENT |
If Tenant shall assign this Lease as permitted herein, the assignee shall expressly assume all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder in a written instrument satisfactory to Landlord and furnished to Landlord not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the assignment. If Tenant shall sublease the Premises as permitted herein, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s option, within fifteen (15) days following any request by Landlord, obtain and furnish to Landlord the written agreement of such subtenant to the effect that the subtenant will attorn to Landlord and will pay all subrent directly to Landlord.
10.6 |
PROCESSING EXPENSES |
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Landlord’s cost of processing each proposed assignment or subletting (whether or not the same is ultimately approved by Landlord or consummated by Tenant), an amount equal to the sum of (i) all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to such assignment or sublease, plus (ii) the sum of $750.00 for the cost of Landlord’s administrative, accounting and clerical time (collectively, “Processing Costs”).
ARTICLE 11

(1) Tenant fails to pay any installment or other payment of Rent including Rent Adjustment Deposits or Rent Adjustments within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord of such failure;
(2) Tenant fails to observe or perform any of the other covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease or the Workletter and fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Tenant, provided, however, that if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, it shall not be a default if Tenant has begun such cure within the thirty (30)-day period and thereafter diligently and continuously pursues the same to completion;

11.2 |
LANDLORD’S REMEDIES |
(a) A Default shall constitute a breach of the Lease for which Landlord shall have the rights and remedies set forth in this Section 11.2 and all other rights and remedies set forth in this Lease or now or hereafter allowed by Law, whether legal or equitable, and all rights and remedies of Landlord shall be cumulative and none shall exclude any other right or remedy now or hereafter allowed by applicable Law.
(b) With respect to a Default, at any time Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession by written notice to Tenant stating such election. Any written notice required pursuant to Section 11.1 shall constitute notice of unlawful detainer pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 if, at Landlord’s sole discretion, it states Landlord’s election that Tenant’s right to possession is terminated after expiration of any period required by Law or any longer period required by Section 11.1. Upon the expiration of the period stated in Landlord’s written notice of termination (and unless such notice provides an option to cure within such period and Tenant cures the Default within such period), Tenant’s right to possession shall terminate and this Lease shall terminate, and Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. Upon such termination in writing of Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord shall have the right, subject to applicable Law, to re-enter the Premises and dispossess Tenant and the legal representatives of Tenant and all other occupants of the Premises by unlawful detainer or other summary proceedings, or as otherwise permitted by Law, regain possession of the Premises and remove their property (including their trade fixtures, personal property and those Tenant Alterations which Tenant is required or permitted to remove under Article Twelve), but Landlord shall not be obligated to effect such removal, and such property may, at Landlord’s option, be stored elsewhere, sold or otherwise dealt with as permitted by Law, at the risk of, expense of and for the account of Tenant, and the proceeds of any sale shall be applied pursuant to Law. Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping of any such property. Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages that may be caused by Landlord’s removing or storing Tenant’s personal property pursuant to this Section or Section 12.1, and Tenant hereby indemnifies, and agrees to defend, protect and hold harmless, the Indemnitees
53
from any and all loss, claims, demands, actions, expenses, liability and cost (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the extent arising out of or in any way related to such removal or storage. Upon such written termination of Tenant’s right to possession and this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to recover damages for Tenant’s Default as provided herein or by Law, including the following damages provided by California Civil Code Section 1951.2:
(1) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination;
(2) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided;
(3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and
(4) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, Landlord’s unamortized costs of tenant improvements, leasing commissions and legal fees incurred in connection with entering into this Lease. The word “rent” as used in this Section 11.2 shall have the same meaning as the defined term Rent in this Lease. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above is computed by allowing interest at the Default Rate. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in clause (3) above is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). For the purpose of determining unpaid Rent under clause (3) above, the monthly Rent reserved in this Lease shall be deemed to be the sum of the Monthly Base Rent, monthly storage space rent, if any, and the amounts last payable by Tenant as Rent Adjustments for the calendar year in which Landlord terminated this Lease as provided hereinabove.
(c) Even if Tenant is in Default and/or has abandoned the Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession by written notice as provided in Section 11.2(b) above, and Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover Rent as it becomes due under this Lease. In such event, Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies of a landlord under California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue Lease in effect after Tenant’s Default and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations), or any successor statute. During such time as Tenant is in Default, if Landlord has not terminated this Lease by written notice and if Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of the Premises, subject to Landlord’s Recapture Right pursuant to Section 10.2, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such assignment or sublease. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Article Ten shall be deemed to constitute reasonable limitations of Tenant’s right to assign or sublet. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that in the absence of written notice pursuant to Section 11.2(b) above terminating Tenant’s right to possession, no other act of Landlord shall
54
constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession or an acceptance of Tenant’s surrender of the Premises, including acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease or the withholding of consent to a subletting or assignment, or terminating a subletting or assignment, if in accordance with other provisions of this Lease.
(d) In the event that Landlord seeks an injunction with respect to a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay the premium for any bond required in connection with such injunction.
(e) Tenant hereby waives any and all rights to relief from forfeiture, redemption or reinstatement granted by Law (including California Civil Code of Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179) in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises by reason of Tenant’s Default or otherwise;
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, a notice to Tenant given under this Article and Article Twenty-four of this Lease or given pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, and any notice served by mail shall be deemed served, and the requisite waiting period deemed to begin under said Code of Civil Procedure Section upon mailing, without any additional waiting requirement under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1011 et seq. or by other Law. For purposes of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1162, Tenant’s “place of residence”, “usual place of business”, “the property” and “the place where the property is situated” shall mean and be the Premises, whether or not Tenant has vacated same at the time of service.
(g) The voluntary or other surrender or termination of this Lease, or a mutual termination or cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger and shall terminate all or any existing assignments, subleases, subtenancies or occupancies permitted by Tenant, except if and as otherwise specified in writing by Landlord.
(h) No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of Landlord upon any default by Tenant, and no exercise by Landlord of its rights pursuant to Section 25.15 to perform any duty which Tenant fails timely to perform, shall impair any right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by Landlord unless such waiver is in writing signed by Landlord. The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of this Lease.
11.3 |
ATTORNEY’S FEES |
In the event any party brings any suit or other proceeding with respect to the subject matter or enforcement of this Lease, the prevailing party (as determined by the court, agency or other authority before which such suit or proceeding is commenced) shall, in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs of investigation as actually incurred, including court costs, expert witness fees, costs and expenses of investigation, and all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in any such suit or proceeding (including in any action or participation in or in connection with any case or proceeding under
55
the Bankruptcy Code, 11 United States Code Sections 101 et seq., or any successor statutes, in establishing or enforcing the right to indemnification, in appellate proceedings, or in connection with the enforcement or collection of any judgment obtained in any such suit or proceeding).
11.4 |
BANKRUPTCY |
To the extent permitted by Law, the following provisions shall apply in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of Tenant:
(a) In connection with any proceeding under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code where the trustee of Tenant elects to assume this Lease for the purposes of assigning it, such election or assignment, may only be made upon compliance with the provisions of (b) and (c) below, which conditions Landlord and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable. In the event the trustee elects to reject this Lease then Landlord shall immediately be entitled to possession of the Premises without further obligation to Tenant or the trustee.
(b) Any election to assume this Lease under Chapter 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code by Tenant as debtor-in-possession or by Tenant’s trustee (the “Electing Party”) must provide for:
The Electing Party to cure or provide to Landlord adequate assurance that it will cure all monetary defaults under this Lease within fifteen (15) days from the date of assumption and it will cure all nonmonetaty defaults under this Lease within thirty (30) days from the date of assumption. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge such condition to be commercially reasonable.
(c) If the Electing Party has assumed this Lease or elects to assign Tenant’s interest under this Lease to any other person, such interest may be assigned only if the intended assignee has provided adequate assurance of future performance (as herein defined), of all of the obligations imposed on Tenant under this Lease.
For the purposes hereof, “adequate assurance of future performance” means that Landlord has ascertained that each of the following conditions has been satisfied:
(1) The assignee has submitted a current financial statement, certified by its chief financial officer, which shows a net worth and working capital in amounts sufficient to assure the future performance by the assignee of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; and
(2) Landlord has obtained consents or waivers from any third parties that may be required under a lease, mortgage, financing arrangement, or other agreement by which Landlord is bound, to enable Landlord to permit such assignment.
(d) Landlord’s acceptance of rent or any other payment from any trustee, receiver, assignee, person, or other entity will not be deemed to have waived, or waive, the requirement of Landlord’s consent, Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Tenant’s interest under this Lease without such consent, or Landlord’s claim for any amount of Rent due from Tenant.
56
11.5 |
LANDLORD’S DEFAULT |
Landlord shall be in default hereunder if Landlord fails to perform any obligation of Landlord hereunder and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Tenant to Landlord; provided, however, that if such failure to perform such obligation cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, it shall not be a default if Landlord has begun such cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion. In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate or rescind this Lease as a result of Landlord’s default as to any covenant or agreement contained in this Lease. Tenant hereby waives such remedies of termination and rescission and hereby agrees that Tenant’s remedies for default hereunder shall be limited to a suit for damages and/or injunction. In addition, Tenant hereby covenants that, it will provide the Mortgagee with a copy of any notice of default provided to Landlord.
ARTICLE 12
SURRENDER OF PREMISES

IN GENERAL |
Upon the Termination Date, Tenant shall surrender and vacate the Premises immediately and deliver possession thereof to Landlord in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear, casualty damage, condemnation, Landlord’s repair obligations and damage caused by Landlord excepted. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all keys to the Premises. All improvements in and to the Premises, including any Tenant Alterations (collectively, “Leasehold Improvements”) shall remain upon the Premises at the end of the Term without compensation to Tenant Without limitation of the foregoing, Tenant shall have no obligation to remove any Landlord Work (including the Tenant Improvements) or Decoration Work installed by or for Tenant. Landlord, however, may require Tenant, at its expense, (a) by written notice to Tenant at least 30 days prior to the Termination Date, to remove any Cable installed by or for the benefit of Tenant, and (b) pursuant to Section 9.1(a), to remove any Tenant Alterations that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, are of a nature that would require removal and repair costs that are materially in excess of the removal and repair costs associated with standard office and lab improvements (collectively referred to as “Required Removables”). Required Removables shall include, without limitation, internal stairways, raised floors, personal baths and showers, vaults, rolling file systems and structural alterations and modifications. Landlord’s failure to designate any Tenant Alteration as a Required Removable at the time of Landlord’s approval pursuant to Section 9.1(a) shall be deemed Landlord’s confirmation that such Tenant Alteration is not a Required Removable. The designated Required Removables shall be removed by Tenant before the Termination Date. Tenant shall repair damage caused by the installation or removal of Required Removables. If Tenant fails to perform its obligations in a timely manner, Landlord may perform such work at Tenant’s expense. If any of the Tenant Alterations which were installed by Tenant involved the lowering of ceilings, raising of floors or the installation of specialized wall or floor coverings or lights, then , unless otherwise approved by Landlord in writing, Tenant shall also be obligated to return such surfaces to their condition prior to the commencement of this Lease. Tenant shall also be required to close any staircases or other openings between floors. In the event possession of the Premises is not delivered to Landlord when required hereunder, or if Tenant shall fail to remove those items described above, Landlord
57
may (but shall not be obligated to), at Tenant’s expense, remove any of such property and store, sell or otherwise deal with such property, and undertake, at Tenant’s expense, such restoration work as Landlord deems necessary or advisable.
12.2 |
LANDLORD’S RIGHTS |
All property which may be removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to Section 12.1 shall be conclusively presumed to have been abandoned by Tenant and Landlord may deal with such property as provided in Section 11.2(b), including the waiver and indemnity obligations provided in that Section. Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in removing any of Tenant Alterations and in restoring the Premises to the condition required by this Article 12 Lease at the Termination Date.
ARTICLE 13
HOLDING OVER
In the event that Tenant holds over in possession of the Premises after the Termination Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord 125% of the Monthly Base Rent payable for the month immediately preceding the holding over plus Rent Adjustments for such holdover period, which Landlord may reasonably estimate. Tenant shall also pay all damages sustained by Landlord by reason of claims made by any succeeding tenant (as demonstrated by a signed proposal or letter of intent or lease), as a result of such retention of possession. The provisions of this Article shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any re-entry rights of Landlord and Tenant’s continued occupancy of the Premises shall be as a tenancy in sufferance.
ARTICLE 14
DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY
14.1 |
SUBSTANTIAL UNTENANTABILITY |
(a) If any fire or other casualty (whether insured or uninsured) renders all or a substantial portion of the Premises or the Building untenantable, Landlord shall, with reasonable promptness after the occurrence of such damage, estimate the length of time that will be required to substantially complete the repair and restoration and shall by notice advise Tenant of such estimate (“Landlord’s Notice”). If Landlord estimates that the amount of time required to substantially complete such repair and restoration will exceed two hundred seventy (270) days from the date such damage occurred, then Landlord, or Tenant if all or a substantial portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable, shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such damage upon giving written notice to the other at any time within twenty (20) days after delivery of Landlord’s Notice, provided that if Landlord so chooses, Landlord’s Notice may also constitute such notice of termination.

Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease if such repairs and
58
restoration are not in fact completed within the time period estimated by Landlord so long as Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to complete such repairs and restoration.
(c) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall be entitled to the full proceeds of any insurance coverage, whether carried by Landlord or Tenant, for damages to the Premises, except for those proceeds of Tenant’s insurance of its own personal property and equipment which would be removable by Tenant at the Termination Date. All such insurance proceeds shall be payable to Landlord whether or not the Premises are to be repaired and restored, provided, however, if this Lease is not terminated and the parties proceed to repair and restore Tenant Alterations at Tenant’s cost, to the extent Landlord received proceeds of Tenant’s insurance covering Tenant Alterations, such proceeds shall be applied to reimburse Tenant for its cost of repairing and restoring Tenant Alterations.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein set forth: (i) Landlord shall have no duty pursuant to this Section to repair or restore any portion of any Tenant Alterations or to expend for any repair or restoration of the Premises or Building amounts in excess of insurance proceeds paid to Landlord and available for repair or restoration; and (ii) Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section if any damage or destruction was caused by the act or neglect of Tenant, its agent or employees.

If the Premises or the Building is damaged by a casualty but neither is rendered substantially untenantable (and Tenant’s access thereto is not materially impaired) and Landlord estimates that the time to substantially complete the repair or restoration will not exceed two hundred seventy (270) days from the date such damage occurred, then Landlord shall proceed to repair and restore the Building or the Premises, other than Tenant Alterations, with reasonable promptness, unless such damage is to the Premises and occurs during the last six (6) months of the Term (and Tenant has not exercised the Renewal Option), in which event either Tenant or Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such casualty by giving written notice thereof to the other within twenty (20) days after the date of such casualty. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, Landlord’s obligation to repair shall be limited in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.1 above.
14.3 |
RENT ABATEMENT |
If all or any part of the Premises are rendered untenantable by fire or other casualty and this Lease is not terminated, Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments (but not any Deferred Rent Loan Payments and any Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance Monthly Payments, which shall continue to be due and payable regardless of any such Rent abatement) shall xxxxx
59
for that part of the Premises which is untenantable on a per diem basis from the date of the casualty until Landlord has Substantially Completed the repair and restoration work in the Premises which it is required to perform, provided, that as a result of such casualty, Tenant does not occupy the portion of the Premises which is untenantable during such period.
14.4 |
WAIVER OF STATUTORY REMEDIES |
The provisions of this Lease, including this Article Fourteen, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, the Premises or the Property or any part of either, and any Law, including Sections 1932(2), 1933(4), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction shall have no application to this Lease or to any damage to or destruction of all or any part of the Premises or the Property or any part of either, and are hereby waived.

In the event of a partial taking of the Premises, Tenant may terminate this Lease if Tenant reasonably determines it cannot conduct its business in the portion of the Premises that was not taken. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein set forth, in the event the taking is temporary (for less than the remaining Term of the Lease), Landlord may elect either (i) to terminate this Lease or (ii) permit Tenant to receive the entire award attributable to the Premises in which case Tenant shall continue to pay Rent and this Lease shall not terminate.
15.2 |
TAKING OF PART |
In the event a part of the Building or the Premises is taken or condemned by any competent authority (or a deed is delivered in lieu of condemnation) and this Lease is not terminated, the Lease shall be amended to reduce or increase, as the case may be, the Monthly Base Rent and Tenant’s Share to reflect the Rentable Area of the Premises or Building, as the case may be, remaining after any such taking or condemnation. Landlord, upon receipt and to the extent of the award in condemnation (or proceeds of sale) shall make necessary repairs and restorations to the Premises (exclusive of Tenant Alterations) and to the Building to the extent necessary to constitute the portion of the Building not so taken or condemned as a complete architectural and economically efficient unit.

MORTGAGEE PROTECTION
23.1 |
SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT |
(a) Subject to Section 23.1(b), this Lease is and shall be expressly subject and subordinate at all times to (i) any ground or underlying lease of the Real Property, now or hereafter existing, and all amendments, extensions, renewals and modifications to any such lease, and (ii) the lien of any mortgage or trust deed now or hereafter encumbering fee title to the Real Property and/or the leasehold estate under any such lease, and all amendments, extensions, renewals, replacements and modifications of such mortgage or trust deed and/or the obligation secured thereby, unless such ground lease or ground lessor, or mortgage, trust deed or Mortgagee, expressly provides or elects that the Lease shall be superior to such lease or mortgage or trust deed. If any such mortgage or trust deed is foreclosed (including any sale of the Real Property pursuant to a power of sale), or if any such lease is terminated, upon request of the Mortgagee or ground lessor, as the case may be, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale or to the ground lessor under such lease, as the case may be, provided, however, that such purchaser or ground lessor shall not be (i) bound by any payment of Rent for more than one month in advance except payments in the nature of security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease; (ii) subject to any offset, defense or damages arising out of a default of any obligations of any preceding Landlord; or (iii) bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease made without the written consent of the Mortgagee or ground lessor; which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that such consent shall not be required in the case of any amendment or modification made or entered into to evidence the exercise by Tenant of any specific right or option provided for herein in favor of Tenant (such as the exercise of the Renewal Option, the Expansion Right, the Right of First Refusal, the Right of First Offer or the Termination Option) or (iv) liable for any security deposits not
67
actually received in cash by such purchaser or ground lessor. This subordination shall be self-operative and no further certificate or instrument of subordination need be required by any such Mortgagee or ground lessor. In confirmation of such subordination, however, Tenant shall execute promptly any reasonable certificate or instrument consistent with this Article 23 that Landlord, Mortgagee or ground lessor may request. Upon request by such successor in interest, Tenant shall execute and deliver reasonable instruments confirming the attornment and non-disturbance provided for herein.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) as a condition precedent to Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, Tenant and Landlord’s current Mortgagee shall have entered into a mutually acceptable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement within thirty (30) days following mutual execution of this Lease, and (ii) as a condition to the subordination of this Lease to any future ground lease or mortgage, Tenant and such future ground lessor or mortgagee shall have entered into a mutually acceptable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement which recognizes Tenant’s rights under this Lease. Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that there is currently no ground or underlying lease of the Real Property.
23.2 |
MORTGAGEE PROTECTION |
Tenant agrees to give any Mortgagee or ground lessor, by registered or certified mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon the Landlord by Tenant, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has received notice (by way of service on Tenant of a copy of an assignment of rents and leases, or otherwise) of the address of such Mortgagee or ground lessor. Tenant further agrees that any such Mortgagee or ground lessor shall have the same cure period as Landlord under this Lease with respect to such default (provided that such cure period shall not commence until thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Tenant) and in addition shall include, if necessary to effect such cure, the period to commence and consummate foreclosure proceedings or other proceedings to acquire possession of the Real Property, so long as such proceedings are promptly commenced and diligently pursued to completion. Such period of time shall be extended by any period within which such Mortgagee or ground lessor is prevented from commencing or pursuing such foreclosure proceedings or other proceedings to acquire possession of the Real Property by reason of Landlord’s bankruptcy.
ARTICLE 24
NOTICES
(a) All notices, demands or requests provided for or permitted to be given pursuant to this Lease must be in writing and shall be personally delivered, sent by Federal Express or other reputable overnight courier service, or mailed by first class, registered or certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.
(b) All notices, demands or requests to be sent pursuant to this Lease shall be deemed to have been properly given or served by delivering or sending the same in accordance with this Section, addressed to the parties hereto at their respective addresses listed in Section 1.1.
68
(c) Notices, demands or requests sent by mail or overnight courier service as described above shall be effective upon deposit in the mail or with such courier service. However, the time period in which a response to any such notice, demand or request must be given shall commence to run from (i) in the case of delivery by mail, the date of receipt on the return receipt of the notice, demand or request by the addressee thereof, or (ii) in the case of delivery by Federal Express or other overnight courier service, the date of acceptance of delivery by an employee, officer, director or partner of Landlord or Tenant. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given, as indicated by advice from Federal Express or other overnight courier service or by mail return receipt, shall be deemed to be receipt of notice, demand or request sent. Notices may also be served by personal service upon any officer, director or partner of Landlord or Tenant, and shall be effective upon such service.
(d) By giving to the other party at least thirty (30) days written notice thereof, either party shall have the right from time to time during the term of this Lease to change their respective addresses for notices, statements, demands and requests, provided such new address shall be within the United States of America.
ARTICLE 25
MISCELLANEOUS
25.1 |
LATE CHARGES |
(a) All payments required hereunder (other than the Monthly Base Rent, Rent Adjustments, and Rent Adjustment Deposits, which shall be due as hereinbefore provided) to Landlord shall be paid within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s written demand therefor. All such amounts (including Monthly Base Rent, Rent Adjustments, and Rent Adjustment Deposits) not paid when due shall bear interest from the date due until the date paid at the Default Rate in effect on the date such payment was due.
(b) In the event Tenant is more than five (5) days late in paying any installment of Rent due under this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent installment of Rent. The parties agree that (i) such delinquency will cause Landlord to incur costs and expenses not contemplated herein, the exact amount of which will be difficult to calculate, including the cost and expense that will be incurred by Landlord in processing each delinquent payment of rent by Tenant, (b) the amount of such late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and that such late charge shall be paid to Landlord for each delinquent payment in addition to all Rent otherwise due hereunder. The parties further agree that the payment of late charges and the payment of interest provided for in subparagraph (a) above are distinct and separate from one another in that the payment of interest is to compensate Landlord for its inability to use the money improperly withheld by Tenant, while the payment of late charges is to compensate Landlord for its additional administrative expenses in handling and processing delinquent payments.
(c) Payment of interest at the Default Rate and/or of late charges shall not excuse or cure any Default by Tenant under this Lease, nor shall the foregoing provisions of this Article or any such payments prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord
69
under this Lease upon a Default due to Tenant’s failure to pay Rent when due, including the right to terminate this Lease.
25.2 |
NO JURY TRIAL; VENUE: JURISDICTION |
To the fullest extent permitted by law, including laws enacted after the Commencement Date, each party hereto (which includes any assignee, successor, heir or personal representative of a party) shall not seek a jury trial, hereby waives trial by jury, and hereby further waives any objection to venue in the County in which the Project is located, and agrees and consents to personal jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California, in any action or proceeding or counterclaim brought by any party hereto against the other on any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, or any claim of injury or damage, or the enforcement of any remedy under any statute, emergency or otherwise, whether any of the foregoing is based on this Lease or on tort law. No party will seek to consolidate any such action in which a jury has been waived with any other action in which a jury trial cannot or has not been waived. It is the intention of the parties that these provisions shall be subject to no exceptions. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
25.3 |
DISCRIMINATION |
Tenant agrees for Tenant and Tenant’s heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns and all persons claiming under or through Tenant, and this Lease is made and accepted upon and subject to the following conditions: that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, national origin or ancestry (whether in the leasing, subleasing, transferring, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Premises or otherwise) nor shall Tenant or any person claiming under or through Tenant establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant.
25.4 |

This Lease shall not become effective as a lease or otherwise until executed and delivered by both Landlord and Tenant, and the submission of the Lease to Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option for the Premises.
25.5 |
AUTHORITY |
Each of Landlord and Tenant represents and warrants to the other that it has full authority and power to enter into and perform its obligations under this Lease, that the person executing this Lease is fully empowered to do so, and that no consent or authorization is necessary from any third party.

MODIFICATION OF LEASE FOR BENEFIT OF MORTGAGEE |

25.8 |
EXCULPATION |
Tenant agrees, on its behalf and on behalf of its successors and assigns, that any liability or obligation of Landlord under this Lease shall only be enforced against Landlord’s equity interest in the Property up to a maximum of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) and in no event against any other assets of the Landlord, or Landlord’s officers or directors or partners, and that any liability of Landlord with respect to this Lease shall be so limited and Tenant shall not be entitled to any judgment in excess of such amount; provided, however, that the foregoing dollar amount limitation (i) shall not limit the amounts payable under any insurance policies maintained by Landlord, and (ii) shall not be applicable with respect to Landlord’s obligation (a) to perform the Landlord Work and provide the Basic Tenant Improvement Allowance and Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance specified in Sections 1.1(16) and 1.1(17) above, or (b) with respect to Environmental Damages for which Landlord is responsible under Section 7.1(d)(5).
25.9 |
ACCORD AND SATISFACTION |
No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than any installment or payment of Rent due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount due, and no endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of Rent shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such installment or payment of Rent or pursue any other remedies available to Landlord. No receipt of money by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term. Receipt or acceptance of payment from anyone other than Tenant, including an assignee of Tenant, is not a waiver of any breach of Article Ten, and Landlord may accept such payment on account of the amount due without prejudice to Landlord’s right to pursue any remedies available to Landlord.
25.10 |
LANDLORD’S OBLIGATIONS ON SALE OF BUILDING |
In the event of any sale or other transfer of the Building, and upon the transferee’s assumption in writing of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease arising from and after the date of such sale or transfer, Landlord shall be entirely freed and relieved of all agreements and

In no event shall the Tenant Improvement Costs include, (i), except as set forth in Sections 3.2(h) and 3.2(i) above, any costs of procuring or installing in the Premises any trade fixtures, equipment, furniture, furnishings, telephone equipment, cabling for any of the foregoing, or other personal property (“Personal Property”) to be used in the Premises by Tenant, and the cost of such Personal Property shall be paid by Tenant, (ii) any costs or expenses of any consultants retained by Tenant with respect to design, procurement, installation or construction of improvements or installations, whether real or personal property, for the Premises, other than those of Tenant’s construction manager, or (iii) any construction management, administration or supervision fee to Landlord, with Landlord hereby acknowledging that it shall not be entitled to any such fee in connection with the Landlord Work.
3.3 Limitations of Landlord’s Obligations. Upon Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall have no further obligation to construct improvements or construct modifications to or changes in the Tenant Improvements, except to complete the punchlist of Landlord Work remaining to be completed or correct any part thereof not in compliance with the Approved Construction Drawings and any approved modifications thereof,
3
as provided in Section 2.6 of the Lease. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10 of the Lease with respect to the Expansion Premises, if applicable, if the Tenant Improvement Allowance exceeds the Tenant Improvement Costs, then Landlord shall retain such excess and shall have no obligation or liability to Tenant with respect to such excess.
4. Costs of Tenant Improvements in Excess of Tenant Improvement Allowance.
(a) The positive difference, if any, between (i) the Landlord’s Estimate approved by Tenant, and (ii) the Tenant Improvement Allowance (the “Tenant TI Contribution”) shall be paid in accordance with this Section 4. With respect to the amount of the Tenant TI Contribution up to a maximum of $3,534,550 (the “Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance Applicable Portion”), Tenant hereby elects to have Landlord fund 50% of the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance Applicable Portion as the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance pursuant to Section 1.1(17) of the Lease, and as a result the amount of the Tenant TI Contribution shall be reduced by the amount of the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance to be so funded by Landlord (the Tenant TI Contribution as so reduced by the amount of Landlord’s Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be referred to as the “Remaining Balance of the Tenant TI Contribution”). Further, Tenant may defer payment of the Remaining Balance of the Tenant TI Contribution pursuant to Section 4(c) below. In the event the Tenant TI Contribution exceeds the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance Applicable Portion, Tenant shall accompany its approval of the Landlord’s Estimate with a good check made payable to the order of Landlord in the amount of the positive difference between (i) the Tenant TI Contribution, and (ii) the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance Applicable Portion, and such funds shall be applied to the Tenant Improvements Costs before Landlord’s Tenant Improvement Allowance or Landlord’s Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance.
(b) Tenant may, pursuant to the provisions of this Workletter, request a Change Order (defined below) to the Approved Construction Drawings to reduce or delete all or part of the anticipated Tenant TI Contribution.
(c) Commencing upon Tenant’s approval of the Landlord’s Estimate, Tenant shall pay, on a monthly basis, the Remaining Balance of the Tenant TI Contribution pro-rata as the Tenant Improvement Costs are incurred in connection with construction of the Tenant Improvements (i.e., payments of the Remaining Balance of the Tenant TI Contribution shall be made in proportion to the Remaining Balance of the Tenant TI Contribution divided by the overall Tenant improvement Costs). By way of illustration of the foregoing, if (A) the Landlord’s Estimate approved by Tenant for the Tenant Improvements is $175.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises, the Remaining Balance of the Tenant TI Contribution will be $25.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises (assuming that Landlord funds the maximum amount of the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance specified in Section 1.1(17) of the Lease; i.e., $25.00 per rentable square foot); then (B) Tenant shall pay 14.29% (i.e., 25/175) of the Tenant Improvement Costs incurred on a monthly basis, beginning upon Tenant’s approval of the Landlord’s Estimate.
(d) Upon Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements and completion of the items, if any, described in Section 2.6 of the Lease, Landlord will determine the actual costs of the Tenant Improvements (excluding any costs covered under contractor
4
warranty to correct defects in materials or workmanship in the Tenant Improvements) and shall reconcile the actual costs of the Tenant Improvements with the Landlord’s Estimate. If the Tenant TI Contribution (or, if applicable, the Remaining Balance of the Tenant TI Contribution) is less than the amount owed by Tenant pursuant to such reconciliation, Tenant shall promptly pay the difference to Landlord. If the Tenant TI Contribution (or, if applicable, the Remaining Balance of the Tenant TI Contribution) is more than the amount owed by Tenant pursuant to such reconciliation, Landlord shall immediately remit 50% of the difference to Tenant and shall apply the other 50% in reduction of the Landlord’s Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance.
5. Changes. If Tenant shall request any change, addition or alteration in the Approved Construction Drawings, Landlord shall promptly give Tenant a written estimate of (a) the cost of engineering and design services and the construction contractor services to prepare a change order (the “Change Order”) in accordance with such request, (b) the cost of work to be performed pursuant to such Change Order, and (c) the time delay expected because of such requested Change Order. Within three (3) business days following Tenant’s receipt of the foregoing written estimate, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether it approves such written estimate. If Tenant approves such written estimate and if such cost would cause the Tenant Improvement Costs to exceed the Tenant Improvement Allowance, then the amount of the estimated cost so approved by Tenant shall be paid in accordance with Sections 4(a) and 4(c) above. If such written authorization, and check if required pursuant to Section 4(a), are not received by Landlord within such three (3) business day period, Landlord shall not be obligated to prepare the Change Order or perform any work in connection therewith. Upon completion of the work of the Change Order and submission of the final cost thereof by Landlord to Tenant, any such additional amounts in excess of Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be paid in accordance with Sections 4(a) and 4(c) above. Any delay in Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements resulting from such request for a Change Order or from the changes so made or necessitated shall be chargeable as Tenant Delay.
6. Tenant Delay. If the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises is delayed beyond the Projected Commencement Date due to Tenant Delay (defined in the Lease or otherwise expressly identified as such herein), the provisions of Section 2.4(b) of the Lease shall apply.
In the event of any dispute between Landlord and Tenant regarding (i) the occurrence or alleged occurrence, or the duration, of any Tenant Delay or Force Majeure, (ii) the determination of the Projected Commencement Date pursuant to Section 1.1(6), or (iii) Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, the parties agree to attempt to resolve such dispute promptly and in good faith; provided, however, that if the parties are unable to resolve such dispute within ten (10) days after such dispute arises, the parties shall retain an independent third party architect familiar with construction in the vicinity of the Project of tenant improvements similar in nature to the Tenant Improvements to arbitrate such dispute, which third party arbitrator shall have the authority to make a final and binding resolution of such dispute, and the parties shall share equally the fees and charges of such arbitrator.
7. Entry by Tenant. Tenant may enter the Premises during construction of the Tenant Improvements and prior to the Commencement Date in accordance with Section 2.4(e) of the Lease.
5
8. Force and Effect. The terms and conditions of this Workletter supplement the Lease and shall be construed to be a part of the Lease and are incorporated in the Lease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any default by any party hereunder shall have the same force and effect as a default under the Lease. Should any inconsistency arise between this Workletter and the Lease as to the specific matters that are the subject of this Workletter, the terms and conditions of this Workletter shall control.
9. Representatives of Parties.
(a) Landlord has designated Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx as its sole representative with respect to the matters set forth in this Workletter, who, until further notice to Tenant, shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of Landlord as required in this Workletter.
(b) Tenant has designated Xxx Xxxxxxxxx as its sole representative with respect to the matters set forth in this Workletter, who, until further notice to Landlord, shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of Tenant as required in this Workletter.

EXHIBIT C-1
LABORATORY RULES AND REGULATIONS
1. Any laboratory equipment (glass and cage washers, sterilizers, centrifuges, etc.) being used during normal business hours must be properly insulated for noise to prevent interruption of other tenants’ business. Landlord reserves the right to request all equipment be insulated prior to occupancy. Should other tenants complain of noise, lab tenant will be responsible for abating any noise issues, at their sole cost.
2. Any damages to property due to leaks from lab equipment will be the sole responsibility of the Tenant. Should damage occur in other Tenant spaces, any and all damages and clean up will be the responsibility of equipment owner (lab tenant).
3. Animal activities are a recognized and necessary process in the biotech industry. It can only be conducted by lab tenants pursuant to all the requirements of their respective lease (including the “Use” clause) and requires specific, written approval by Landlord in advance. We also expect any animal operations to be conducted pursuant to all regulations, standards and best industry practices relating to them.
4. The EmeryStation Campus is a mixed-use facility and lab tenants share space with office tenants. To reduce the potential interaction with office tenants and their employees and visitors with any biotech animal operations; animal testing performed; deliveries of animals and any equipment, foods, cleaners, etc. associated with animal activities must be coordinated through the Loading Dock after hours and with the cooperation of the building management and security personnel. Tenant should make every effort to handle any deliveries relating to animal activities outside of Building Standard Hours. The freight elevator must be used at all times, and delivery trucks should not be visible to the other tenants in the campus area. No cartons, containers or cardboard boxes bearing the nature of contents may be stored or left in common area spaces, to include any garage/freight areas. Feed bags, animal carriers, and any and all containers must be disposed of properly and with discretion.
5. All exterior signage relating to laboratory operations (i.e., visible to common areas including corridors) must be kept to the minimum required by law. All signs must have Landlord’s approval prior to installation.

EXHIBIT D
BASE BUILDING DESCRIPTION
ARCHITECTURE
Summary: EmeryStation East is organized around a nearly 20,000 square foot landscaped urban garden. Stunning sculpture and fountains at the grand portal to this approximately 245,000 square-foot Class A science research building invites employees, visitors and the public to enjoy the verdant raised landscaped plaza. This central courtyard provides attractive views from the occupiable spaces in the building and an area of congregation and repose. It also provides a convenient pedestrian link from Xxxxxx Street through EmeryStation East to EmeryStation 1 and the Amtrak Transit Center beyond.
The base building was designed by American Institute of Architects award-winning SmithGroup, which has particular expertise in quality lab design. The architecture is bright, translucent, high-tech and elegant–reflecting the sophistication of the functions inside the building. Window walls control the transparency where appropriate. Tenant’s may elect to install standard mini-blinds as part of their build-outs. Exterior lighting enhances the building’s architecture and landscaping at grade and the plaza level.
Wareham is delivering the base building shell with common areas, main lobby, elevators, stairways, bathrooms, landscaping and security already in place. This gives tenants maximum utility and the best economies in creating their workplaces, as well as allowing maximum speed in completing their tenant improvements.
Floor Plans: Floors ranging in size from 23,000 square feet up to over 65,000 square feet and three complete stair towers give both small and large tenants the maximum efficiency and flexibility in design and space planning. Predominant 32 foot by 32 foot bays provide the opportunity for 10 foot 8 inch lab bench modules in both directions. Each floor features amply-sized usable outdoor terraces that provide areas of congregation, meeting, eating or relaxation.
Parking: The project includes two levels of lighted, structured parking for tenants’ employees plus required accessible handicapped / van parking. The garage levels are exhausted both naturally and mechanically. Visitor parking is available as part of the overall EmeryStation campus: presently it is available both at the surface lot just north of the Amtrak Transit Center and well as at the Terraces Garage.
Main Lobby: Accessible via stone-clad monumental entry stairs at the grand portal xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx to the east and at the large, raised landscaped plaza off Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx to the west, the building’s main lobby is a two-story glass cube with elegant stone flooring, landscaping, monumental artwork and a security desk providing visitor information and controlling access to the core elevators.
Elevators: The four main project elevators are state-of-the-art “Gen2” machine-room-less (MRL) elevators. The central core includes three passenger elevators, each with 4,000 lb. capacity, 350 feet per minute speed and a 9’7” tall architecturally-designed custom cab. The
central core also includes the building freight elevator with a 5,000 lb. capacity and its own vestibules on each tenant floor. All core elevators, including the freight elevator, serve the project’s two parking levels and the four occupiable floors above. In addition to the four core elevators, the project has two hydraulic shuttle elevators that provide tenant, visitor, public and ADA access from both Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx Streets up to the landscaped plaza and main lobby level.
Bathrooms: Four complete bathrooms per floor (two each Mens’ and Womens’) with stone vanities and tile floors and accents.
Elevator Lobbies and Corridors: Finished as part of the base building on all multi-tenant floors.
Loading Dock: The base building includes a grade-level loading dock/area at the south end of the property. The loading dock accesses the freight elevator via the secure garage.
Interior Walls / Drywall: All core areas are drywalled and fire-taped as part of the base building. Drywall walls are fully finished in all finished areas such as bathrooms, main lobby, stair towers, garage areas, etc. Z-clips to allow easy connection of drywall at the exterior beams are already in place as part of the base building, as are stick pins in the underside of the roof slab to allow for easy installation of batt insulation.
Security: Card-reader-based security is distributed into garage and main doors at grade and to the plaza / lobby level. Exterior and garage areas feature security cameras reporting to the main lobby desk. Doors in the stair towers are prepped for future security hardware to allow tenants the opportunity to utilize the stairs as secure means of intra-floor travel in addition to the elevators. The elevators are pre-wired for security card readers as well. Tenants can extend off the main building system (at their cost) if they wish.
Landscaping: Wareham prides itself on the quality of its project’s landscaping, as evident in many of its surrounding buildings. The base building includes an extensive landscaped environment both at the elevated plaza garden and around the perimeter at grade. Certain of those planting areas at grade function as organic “bioswales” that filter stormwater before it is released into the public sewer system.
STRUCTURAL SYSTEM
Summary: The project features a state-of-the-art structural system designed by renowned engineering firm Xxxxxxxxxx and Chekene. It includes a large concrete mat foundation with two levels of reinforced concrete parking above and four levels of steel-framed occupiable space above the garage.
The reinforced concrete mat foundation system is designed to provide a rigid base that will limit foundation deflections and allow the building to maintain important stability on the site. The seismic-force-resisting system includes both buckling-restrained-braced (BRB) frames and moment frames. BRB frames are now being used in the design of new institutional-quality labs and hospitals such as those of the new UCSF Mission Bay campus. The building’s steel frame
2
supports reinforced concrete floors on metal decking. The tenant spaces measure 16 feet from floor to floor.
The live load is generally 130 lbs. per square foot. The low vibration areas of the building have the added effect of having greater load carrying capabilities. Drawing S0.03 in the base building construction document set more fully and accurately describes the capacities of the various areas of the building.
Vibration: The building is designed to meet an overall vibration criteria of 8000 micro-inches per second velocity (MIPS). The base building also features special low-vibration areas such as those required by most major research institutions; these areas have been designed to limit xxxxxx-induced vibration to a stringent 2000 MIPS.
Rooftop Equipment Platform: A large galvanized steel platform has been provided on the rooftop for building MEP infrastructure needs. It is designed to allow for ease of layout of units and has capacity to support equipment such as air handling units, exhaust stacks, fans, switchgear, micro-turbines, cooling towers, etc.
MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING SYSTEMS
Summary: Reliability, flexibility and energy efficiency are the basis of the building’s mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems design by Xxxxx & Xxxx. The generous 16 foot floor-to-floor heights provide area for the vital and complicated infrastructure needed in today’s labs.
HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC)
Supply: The base building HVAC system includes six complete vertical shafts located along the building’s central spine for optimal flexibility and serviceability on each floor. Multiple shafts are provided to minimize duct lengths and sizes and allow additional flexibility for the tenants. Each shaft is accessible on each floor by a door which accesses an internal platform to allow easier addition of vertical extra ducts, pipes, etc. Each shaft has a galvanized supply duct inside which feed into a galvanized horizontal supply manifolds on the roof. This design allows tenants to “plug in” the correct amount of shared supply and exhaust units, sized to their needs, on the large, raised base building steel equipment platform at the roof to serve their specific needs.
The air conditioning system(s) for the tenant spaces are intended to include shared air handling units sized based on tenant-specific needs and with variable speed drives sized to provide cooling for:
Lighting at 1.5 xxxxx per sq ft
People based on 100 sq ft per person
Equipment at 1.2 xxxxx per sq ft (of heat output)
(There is capacity in the chilled water system to cool an additional 6.2 xxxxx per square foot of equipment on average, as more fully discussed below.)
The combination of dedicated outside air system(s) and supplemental cooling and variable volume laboratory controls provided by the tenant is intended to use less energy than a
3
traditional lab exhaust system and will provide a high level of reliability and flexibility for all tenants.
Chilled Water: The base building includes a piped distribution system to accommodate up to 950 tons of total cooling. Chilled water can run from the complete, enclosed base building chiller room down to four vertical risers (three risers serve all four floors and the fourth provides extra service to the larger top two floors). The chilled water design is intended to provide cooling for an additional 6.2 xxxxx per square foot for biotech lab loads or equipment cooling on average. Cooling would be provided via fan coil units or chilled beams provided by the tenant. This approach allows tenants to add the cooling where needed. Energy is saved by providing additional cooling only where needed and minimizing the need for additional reheating. Like with the air side, the base building is designed to allow tenants to appropriately size their chilled water needs and to “plug in” the right chiller and chilled water pump capacity into the existing system. Piping and valves for tenant-supplied shared chillers and pumps are provided as part of the base building.
Cooling Towers: The base building features a main condenser water loop and pre-installed valves to allow for connection of the required pumps and as many as three cooling towers totaling at least 950 tons, depending on the specific needs of tenants, again in a “plug-in” scenario by each tenant. The cooling tower area is already architecturally screened as part of the base building.
Hot Water: As with chilled water, the base building has an enclosed boiler room where tenant-supplied pumps can push hot water down four separate risers (three risers serving all floors and a fourth providing additional service to the larger top two floors). The system was designed to handle at least 12 million BTU’s of hot water. Heating water created by the co-gen system will be available to supplement tenant-supplied boilers.
Exhaust: Each shaft on each floor is served by two independent stainless steel exhaust ducts that tie into stainless steel duct manifolds at the roof. As with supply, tenants will size the exhaust needed by their use and “plug in” the appropriate units and stacks on the roof platform, connecting to one of the base building exhaust manifolds.
VFDs: The supply, exhaust and chiller equipment to be added as tenant build-outs proceed and specific tenant needs are determined are intended to feature energy-efficient VFDs.
Controls: The base building features a computer-controlled Building Management System (BMS) backbone to which tenants will connect.
Specialty Exhaust and Piping: There is roof and shaft space negotiable for specialty systems that might be required by a tenant. As noted above, each shaft has an internal work platform inside of it, accessible by a man-door on each floor, to allow tenants to easily add specialty exhaust ducts or piping systems.
Rooftop Equipment Platform: As noted in the discussion regarding Structure, the project’s roof includes a very large steel dunnage support deck that provides room for contemplated HVAC and electrical equipment, leaving extra room negotiable for additional, special needs that tenants might have.

For Ventilation and Exhaust air, the duct infrastructure has been sized for capacity of 0.85 cfm per USF, deemed adequate by the building engineers to provide the greater of: a) six foot fume hoods at a density of one hood per 1,075 USF, and b) 6 air changes per hour in all lab spaces. Office ventilation rates of 20 cfm per person can be accommodated. The assumption was for no more than 60/40 lab/office mix. Necessary supply and exhaust units will be sized and supplied by tenants. It is possible that any one tenant may only need “a part” of a fan, etc., in which case Landlord is willing to consider “buying” the excess capacity at the direct cost of the purchased unit to make this capacity available for other tenants. The sizing of the Emergency generator assumes fume hoods and fans are connected thereto.
For Cooling, base building infrastructure assumes averaging as much as one ton per 275 USF to cool 6 xxxxx per USF. The chilled water piping can meet the need for up to 0.0017 gpm per USF within a tenant space. Chiller/chiller pump and cooling tower/cooling tower pump sizing and purchase to by be tenants. Landlord may participate in the “right-sizing” of this sort of equipment purchases as was discussed above with supply and exhaust fans.
PLUMBING
Water: Water service has been secured from EBMUD as part of the base building. Potable domestic cold water and hot water are provided to all the toilet rooms and to the janitor closets. Additionally, the base building features four separate domestic cold water risers (two on each end of the building) available for tenant use. Tenants will meet their own identified domestic and industrial hot water needs as part of their build-outs (other than at existing base building bathrooms, where Landlord has provided the hot water heater). There is a capped water connection each floor for tenants to share. Each tenant shall be entitles to its pro-rata share of the total building supply. Earlier tenants must leave valve connections for future tenants.
Waste: Sewer connection and capacity has been secured from EBMUD as part of the base building. Sanitary waste and vent lines are provided at multiple locations for tie-in by the tenants. There are four 3” capped connections serving each floor on the north side of the building and two such connections serving each floor on the south side.
Natural Gas: The base building has secured natural gas services from PG&E. There are two taps in a horizontal line just below the first floor (accessible from the garage) where tenants can tap if they wish to bring natural gas to their premises. These taps are sized to allow service of 7 inches / one-half psi. Each floor has a stub; earlier tenants must leave a stub for future tenants. Tenants may have their pro-rata share of the total 1200 CFH supply to the building.
Specialty Piping: Air, vacuum and/or specialty gas systems are to be determined per specific tenant need as part of the tenant improvement design. However, as noted above, provisions have been made in the shafts for specialty piping risers if needed, and there is extra room on the roof and in the lower garage levels for tenant specialty equipment needs (as negotiated).
FIRE PROTECTION
Sprinklers: Fire water service has been secured from EBMUD as part of the base building. The base building features a fire pump on emergency power serving two main vertical risers and full horizontal line distribution to provide shell coverage. The system has been designed for
5
“ordinary hazard” levels appropriate to a lab building; the base building upturned heads provide the necessary code shell coverage. The concrete on metal slab floors provide two-hour fire rating between floors.
Life Safety System: The base building includes the backbone (in two risers) for an addressable fire/strobe/annunciation system. Each riser has a terminal cabinet on each of the four occupiable floors at which tenants can connect. The base building includes devices at all completed areas such as bathrooms, lobby, garage, etc.
ELECTRICAL
Main PG&E Services: Two 4000 amp services from PG&E have been secured as part of the base building. These provide 277/480 3-phase power. In addition to these, the base building has a 1,000 KW gas-fired electrical co-generation system, more fully described below. The PG&E services have been sized to allow for tenant capacities as follows:
Lighting: |
1.5 xxxxx per USF | |
Office power and receptacles |
3.5 xxxxx per USF | |
Lab equipment power |
12 xxxxx per USF |
All main electrical switchgear is provided as part of the base building, as are two 2000 amp /480V tapable bus risers that run up vertically on each side of the building. Each riser has an enclosed and ventilated electrical room on each of the four occupiable floors (i.e., two electrical rooms per floor). Each electrical room includes a 600 amp / 480V distribution board with space for multiple tenant service breakers where tenants can tap in to run power to their specific suites and step down the 277/480V 3-phase power if and as needed. Tenants will install E-Mon D-Mon measuring devices at this point, connected to the BMS system, to allow the energy usage inside their specific suites to be accurately measured and billed.
Grounding: There are two risers for electrical grounding and two risers for telecom grounding available on each floor.
Emergency Power: A 1250 KW standby diesel emergency generator and two vertical emergency power rises running up the building are provided as part of the base building to support building life safety and essential exhaust loads. This diesel emergency generator has been oversized to allow Landlord the ability to offer certain amounts of emergency power to tenants on a separately-negotiable basis. The co-generation system (more fully described below), provides a possible additional source of non-grid-based power to tenants in the building during times when the PG&E power grid might be interrupted.
Co-Gen: The base building will be supported by a co-generation system consisting of four 250 KW natural gas-fired engine generators. The co-gen system will reduce the reliance on the utility company and can allow for certain tenant operations while utility power is unavailable, as separately negotiated. The two PG&E services described above have been sized as if the co-gen system is not present, so the co-gen capacity represents redundancy based on the design assumptions. The co-gen also provides the opportunity for power cost savings relative to the municipal utility provider. The heat generated by the engines will be captured and used to
6
provide hot water for the buildings heating water needs. Excess may be available for tenants’ industrial hot water needs.
Lighting: The lighting systems chosen for the base building utilize high-efficiency xxxxxxx and ballast to maximize energy efficiency and lamp life. The lighting design provides dramatic accent lighting while keeping the light levels to a minimum. Again, lighting is kept efficient yet effective. Base building includes lighting in all completed areas such as bathrooms, main lobby, garage, etc.
In Amyris’ case, each floor of the Initial Premises (i.e., the north side of Floors 1 and 2) capture the entirety of one base building electrical closet. Each such closet contains:
1) |
a lighting panel with 1.5 xxxxx per USF for Tenant lighting at 277/480 volts (the south wing closets are the same) |
2) |
a distribution panel with 12 xxxxx per USF at 600 amps at 277/480 volts, 3-phase 4-wire (the south wing closets are at 400 amps) |
3) |
a transformer providing 2.4 xxxxx per USF at 120/208 3-phase 4-wire feeding 42 pole panels (the south wing closets are the same), which feed receptacles in the base building bathrooms but in balance are available. |
TELECOM
Telecommunication riser closets stack vertically and are centrally positioned at two locations on each tenant floor. Each closet provides a clear route to the main telco room located in the first garage level (the MPOE). The MPOE has access to phone, cable and fiber services of several different providers. The riser closets are designed to maximize tenant cabling space and provide future flexibility for the fiber and cabling needs for the building tenants.
