|

Capitalized terms used, but not defined, herein have the meanings set forth in the Master Lease, a copy of which has been previously provided to Subtenant. |
|
B. |
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Sublease, Sublandlord desires to sublease to Subtenant, and Subtenant desires to sublease from Sublandlord, all of the Master Premises, as depicted in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Subleased Premises”) until the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 3). |
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1.Recitals. The foregoing recitals are hereby incorporated into this Sublease by this reference as if fully set forth herein.
2.Subleased Premises. Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby subleases from Sublandlord, the Subleased Premises. Additionally, Subtenant is hereby granted the nonexclusive right to use the common areas of the Building to the extent of Sublandlord’s rights to use of the same pursuant to the Master Lease, in common with other tenants in the Building (collectively, the “Common Areas”), each throughout the Sublease Term (as defined in Section 3). Subtenant covenants that its use of the Subleased Premises and Common Areas shall at all times comply with all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Master Lease and with all the rules and regulations established by Master Landlord from time to time.
3.Sublease Term. The term of this Sublease (the “Sublease Term”) shall commence upon the latest to occur of: (a) Sublandlord’s receipt of the Landlord Consent (as defined in Section 35), (b) Sublandlord’s receipt of a Certificate of Occupancy, and (c) July 15, 2019 (the “Commencement Date”). Unless earlier terminated under any provision of the Master Lease or this Sublease, the Sublease Term shall continue until March 31, 2031 (the “Expiration Date”). Sublandlord shall deliver possession of the Subleased Premises to Subtenant upon the occurrence
1
of all of the following: (a) Sublandlord’s receipt of the Landlord Consent, (b) Sublandlord’s receipt of the first full month’s Base Rent (as defined in Section 4) and the Security Deposit (as defined in Section 8), and (c) Sublandlord’s receipt of evidence that Subtenant carries the insurance required by the Master Lease and this Sublease.
4.Base Rent. Beginning on the Commencement Date, Subtenant shall pay base rent to Sublandlord in an amount determined by multiplying rentable square feet of the Subleased Premises by the Applicable Monthly Base Rate (as hereinafter defined) (each payment, a monthly installment of “Base Rent”). As used herein, “Applicable Monthly Base Rate” shall be an amount equal to Five Dollars and Fifty Cents ($5.50) for the twelve (12) month period following the Commencement Date, which amount shall increase by a compounded three percent (3%) on each annual anniversary of the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Base Rent for the first five (5) full calendar months of the Sublease Term shall be abated; however, if Subtenant defaults resulting in an Event of Default under this Sublease during the Sublease Term, Subtenant shall not be entitled to any further Base Rent abatement, and if the Event of Default results in termination of the Sublease, then Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord the unamortized portion of the abated Base Rent as of the termination date within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice therefor.
5.Additional Rent. In addition to paying Base Rent, beginning on the Commencement Date, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, as additional rent, Subtenant’s Share of Rent Adjustment on a monthly basis throughout the Sublease Term in accordance with Section 4.1 of the Master Lease. As used in this Sublease, “Subtenant’s Share of Rent Adjustment” means an amount which equals the ratio that the rentable square footage of the Subleased Premises bears to the rentable square footage of the Master Premises, multiplied by Rent Adjustment attributable to the Master Premises payable by Sublandlord to Master Landlord pursuant to Article 4 of the Master Lease. Sublandlord shall promptly forward to Subtenant all Landlord’s Statements for the Master Premises that Sublandlord receives from Master Landlord. If Sublandlord receives a credit for overpayment of Rent Adjustment attributable to the Master Premises (“Direct Expense Credit”) pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Master Lease, Subtenant shall receive a credit against the next installment of Rent due under this Sublease in an amount equal to the ratio that the rentable square footage of the Subleased Premises bears to the rentable square footage of the Master Premises at the time that the overpayment was made multiplied by the total Direct Expense Credit or, if the Sublease Term has ended, Sublandlord shall pay such amount to Subtenant within thirty (30) days of Sublandlord’s receipt of the Direct Expense Credit. If Sublandlord needs to make a payment to Master Landlord due to an underpayment of Rent Adjustment attributable to the Master Premises (“Direct Expense Shortfall”) pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Master Lease, Sublandlord shall submit to Subtenant an invoice therefor and Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord an amount equal to the ratio that the rentable square footage of the Subleased Premises bears to the rentable square footage of the Master Premises at the time the underpayment was made multiplied by the total Direct Expense Shortfall together with the next installment of Rent due or, if the Sublease Term has ended, Subtenant shall pay such amount to Sublandlord within thirty (30) days of Subtenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor.
Notwithstanding anything in this Sublease to the contrary, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, together with its payment of Subtenant’s Share of Rent Adjustment, 100% of the cost of: (a) any charges that apply solely to the Subleased Premises (e.g., real estate taxes on leasehold
2
improvements therein), (b) late fees or penalties assessed against Sublandlord or Master Landlord as a result of Subtenant’s acts or omissions, (c) charges incurred as a result of excess or additional services requested by Subtenant for the Subleased Premises, and (d) the cost of utilities and janitorial services consumed by Subtenant in accordance with Section 6.2 of the Master Lease. Sublandlord shall pass through to Subtenant all abatements, credits, set-offs, offsets, and refunds received by Sublandlord under the Master Lease to the extent such abatements, credits, set-offs, and offsets directly relate to the Subleased Premises.
6.Payment of Rent. Base Rent, Rent Adjustment and any other amounts payable by Subtenant in connection with this Sublease are referred to in this Sublease as “Rent”. Except as explicitly provided in this Sublease or the Master Lease, Rent shall be due and payable to Sublandlord without prior written notice or demand, in advance, without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America, on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Sublease Term. Rent shall be payable at Sublandlord’s address set forth herein, or at such other place as Sublandlord may designate in writing to Subtenant. Rent for any period during this Sublease Term that is less than one (1) month shall be prorated based on a thirty (30) day month.
7.Delinquent Payments.
7.1Late Fee. Subtenant acknowledges that Subtenant’s late payment of Rent will cause Sublandlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Sublease, the exact amount of such costs being difficult and impractical to fix. Such other costs include, without limitation, processing, administrative and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Sublandlord. Accordingly, if Sublandlord does not receive any Rent within five (5) days of its due date, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord an additional sum of five percent (5%) of the delinquent amount as a late charge. The Parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Sublandlord will incur due to Subtenant’s late payment of Rent. Sublandlord’s acceptance of a late charge will not constitute a waiver of Subtenant’s default with respect to the delinquent amount or prevent Sublandlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Sublandlord under this Sublease or under Applicable Laws (as defined in Section 12).
7.2Interest. In addition to the late charges referred to above, if Sublandlord is charged interest by Master Landlord in accordance with Article III of the Master Lease, then Subtenant shall be responsible for reimbursing Sublandlord for such amount. Sublandlord’s acceptance of interest payments will not constitute a waiver of Subtenant’s default with respect to the delinquent amount or prevent Sublandlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Sublandlord under this Sublease or under Applicable Laws.
8.Security Deposit. Subtenant shall deposit with Sublandlord on or before the Effective Date the sum of One Million Six Hundred Sixty-Four Thousand Five Hundred Sixty-Four Dollars ($1,664,564) (the “Security Deposit”), which Sublandlord will hold as security for Subtenant’s faithful performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease to be kept and performed by Subtenant during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending upon the expiration or earlier termination of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease. Sublandlord reserves the right to increase the amount of the Security Deposit (by the amount
3
required to restore such Tenant Alteration) in the event that Subtenant desires to construct any Tenant Alterations in accordance with the Master Lease, and Subtenant shall restore such Tenant Alteration as required under the Master Lease, with such increase serving as security for Subtenant’s faithful performance of such restoration obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Security Deposit shall not be increased, nor shall Subtenant have restoration obligations, with respect to the Subtenant Alterations pursuant to Section 9, so long as Master Landlord does not seek restoration for such Subtenant Alterations. If an Event of Default occurs with respect to any provision of this Sublease, including any provision relating to the payment of Rent, then Sublandlord may, but is not required to, use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default, or to compensate Sublandlord for any other loss or damage that Sublandlord may suffer by reason of Subtenant’s Event of Default. If Sublandlord so uses or applies any portion of the Security Deposit, then Subtenant shall, within ten (10) days following demand therefor, deposit cash with Sublandlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Subtenant’s failure to do so shall be an Event of Default under this Lease. Sublandlord shall return to Subtenant the Security Deposit, less any portion thereof which Sublandlord may have used, applied, or retained as permitted by this Section 8 (provided that Sublandlord provides Subtenant with an accounting of the amounts so retained and how they were used or applied), within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Sublease Term by lapse of time or termination of the Master Lease. Subtenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit, and Sublandlord shall have the right to commingle the Security Deposit with Sublandlord’s other funds. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease. SUBTENANT HEREBY WAIVES THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 1950.7 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME.
In lieu of the cash Security Deposit described above, the Security Deposit may be in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in an amount equal to the foregoing amount issued to Sublandlord, as beneficiary, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord, by a bank reasonably approved by Sublandlord, in which case, the Letter of Credit shall serve as the Security Deposit under this Sublease. Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord the proposed form of Letter of Credit for Sublandlord’s reasonable approval prior to issuance of such Letter of Credit. Subtenant shall maintain the Letter of Credit for the entire Sublease Term, provided that Subtenant may at any time substitute a cash Security Deposit for the Letter of Credit, and upon such substitution, Sublandlord shall return the Letter of Credit to Subtenant. Subtenant shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred by Subtenant in obtaining and maintaining the Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit shall secure Subtenant’s full and faithful performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease. The Letter of Credit shall provide that it will be automatically renewed until at least sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date.
If, as of the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, all of the following are true: a) all Rent due has been paid, b) Subtenant is not in an Event of Default hereunder, c) Subtenant’s net worth and liquidity, as calculated pursuant to GAAP, are each not materially less than they were as of the Commencement Date, Sublandlord agrees that the Security Deposit amount shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%), and the amount by which the Security Deposit is reduced shall be returned to Subtenant within thirty (30) days following the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Commencement Date. Failure of any of the above to be true at the end of the sixth (6th)
4
anniversary of the Commencement Date shall mean the Security Deposit shall remain unchanged in amount for the balance of the Sublease Term.
9.Condition of Subleased Premises; Subtenant Alterations. Sublandlord represents and warrants to Subtenant that (i) Sublandlord has completed the Tenant Work prior to the Commencement Date and in accordance with the Master Lease (including Exhibit B of the Master Lease) and all other work required of Sublandlord by Master Landlord for occupancy of the Master Premises (e.g., installation of the Meter), (ii) as of the Commencement Date, to the best of its knowledge, the Building Systems serving the Premises are in good working condition and repair, and (iii) as of the Commencement Date, to the best of its knowledge, the Premises are in compliance with all local and state codes including Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. §12101, et seq. (as amended). Provided the foregoing representations and warranties are true, Subtenant accepts the Subleased Premises in their current “AS IS, WHERE IS” condition with all faults. Except as expressly set forth in this Sublease, Subtenant hereby waives all warranties, whether express or implied (including warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose), with respect to the Subleased Premises or any furniture, fixtures and equipment located therein, including, without limitation, the FF&E (as defined in Section 10). Except as expressly set forth in this Sublease, Sublandlord makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to the Subleased Premises, and Subtenant shall have full responsibility for making any desired repairs, installations, alterations or additions to the Subleased Premises. Any installations, alterations or additions which Subtenant desires to make to the Subleased Premises shall be subject to the prior written approval of both Master Landlord and Sublandlord and shall otherwise be constructed in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease.
Provided that Subtenant complies with the provisions of Article 9 of the Master Lease, Sublandlord consents to Subtenant performing the alterations (the “Subtenant Alterations”) described in Exhibit B attached hereto. Notwithstanding anything in this Sublease or the Master Lease to the contrary, the Security Deposit shall not be increased due to the Subtenant Alterations, nor shall Subtenant have any obligation to remove the Subtenant Alterations, or restore the Subleased Premises to its condition prior to the Subtenant Alterations, at the end of the Sublease Term. This paragraph, and Subtenant’s consent hereto, shall be subject to Subtenant’s receipt of consent to same from the Master Landlord.
10.FF&E. Provided no Event of Default (as defined in Section 22) has occurred and is continuing, Subtenant may utilize all the furniture, fixtures and equipment owned by Sublandlord and located in the Subleased Premises as of the Commencement Date (collectively, the “FF&E”) during the Sublease Term, which such FF&E are itemized in Exhibit C attached hereto. Sublandlord represents and warrants as of the Commencement Date that (i) Sublandlord is the rightful owner of the FF&E, (ii) the FF&E has not otherwise been sold or assigned to any other person or entity, (iii) the FF&E is free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, claims and demands, and (iv) to the best of Sublandlord’s knowledge, the FF&E is in good operating condition and free of any defects. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Subtenant shall accept the FF&E in its “AS-IS, WHERE-IS, WITH ALL FAULTS” condition as of the Commencement Date, and Sublandlord shall have no liability to Subtenant of any kind under any circumstances arising out of or in connection with the FF&E arising from and after the Commencement Date of such FF&E or Subtenant’s use thereof. Subtenant hereby releases Sublandlord from and against any and all claims, damages, costs, expenses and liabilities arising out of or in connection with the
5
FF&E, and/or Subtenant’s use thereof, from and after the Commencement Date, including, without limitation, any taxes with respect to the FF&E and/or Subtenant’s use thereof, and any related interest and penalties resulting from late payment by Subtenant thereof (collectively, “FF&E Claims”), and Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against any and all FF&E Claims accruing on and after the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublandlord shall inform Subtenant of the terms and conditions of any manufacturer’s warranties or guarantees (“Manufacturer’s Warranties”) with respect to the FF&E in effect as of the Commencement Date, and in the event of any FF&E defect in design, material, or workmanship covered by such Manufacturer’s Warranties, Sublandlord shall assert such applicable Manufacturer’s Warranties using commercially reasonable efforts after Subtenant notifies Sublandlord of the defect. Subtenant shall maintain the FF&E in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and shall be responsible for any loss or damage to the FF&E occurring from the Commencement Date through the Expiration Date. Subtenant may freely move, and/or remove any of the FF&E from the Subleased Premises without replacement thereof or notification to Sublandlord. On the Expiration Date, Subtenant shall purchase the FF&E from Sublandlord for the sum of One Dollar ($1.00) pursuant to a xxxx of sale in form and content substantially identical to the form of Xxxx and Sale attached hereto as Exhibit D, in its “AS IS, WHERE IS” condition, without representation or warranty whatsoever, except that Sublandlord is the rightful owner of the FF&E, that the FF&E has not otherwise been sold or assigned to any other person or entity, and that the FF&E is free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, claims and demand.
11.Use. Subtenant may use the Subleased Premises solely for the Permitted Use, and for no other use. Subtenant’s use of the Subleased Premises must at all times comply with the requirements of the Master Lease, and Subtenant shall not use the Subleased Premises in a manner that is in any way inconsistent with the Master Lease or that might cause Sublandlord to be in breach of the Master Lease. Subtenant shall not commit or allow to be committed any waste upon the Building or Subleased Premises, or any public or private nuisance or act which is unlawful. Subtenant shall not commit any act that will increase the then existing rate of insurance on the Building or the Master Premises. Subtenant shall promptly pay upon demand the amount of any such increase in insurance rates caused by any act of Subtenant.
12.Compliance with Laws. Subtenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all laws, ordinances and regulations with respect to Subtenant’s use, occupancy or improvement of the Subleased Premises, including, without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. §12101, et seq. (as amended, together with the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto) (collectively, “Applicable Laws”). Additionally, Subtenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, to reimburse Sublandlord for any legal compliance costs incurred by Sublandlord with respect to the Subleased Premises as a result of Subtenant’s (a) specific use and occupancy of the Subleased Premises (as opposed to general office use), (b) obtaining any permit or license with respect to the Subleased Premises, or (c) making any installations, additions or alterations to the Subleased Premises.
13.Compliance with Master Lease.
13.1Subtenant Representations, Warranties, and Covenants. Subtenant represents and warrants that it will occupy the Subleased Premises in accordance with all of the
6
terms and conditions of the Master Lease as they apply to the Subleased Premises and will not suffer to be done or omit to do any act which may result in a violation of or a default under any of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease, or render Sublandlord liable for any damage, charge or expense thereunder. Subtenant further covenants and agrees that it will indemnify Sublandlord against and hold Sublandlord harmless from any claim, demand, action, proceeding, suit, liability, loss, judgment, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and damages of any kind or nature whatsoever (“Claims”) arising out of, by reason of, or resulting from, Subtenant’s failure to perform or observe any of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease applicable to the Subleased Premises or this Sublease.
13.2Sublandlord Representations, Warranties, and Covenants. Sublandlord represents and warrants the following is true and correct as of the Effective Date and Commencement Date: (i) Sublandlord is the tenant under the Master Lease and has the capacity to enter into this Sublease with Subtenant, subject to Master Landlord’s consent, (ii) the Master Lease attached hereto as Exhibit E is a true, correct, and complete copy of the Master Lease, is in full force and effect, and has not been further modified, amended, or supplemented except as expressly set out herein, (iii) Sublandlord has not received any notice, and has no actual knowledge, of any default by Sublandlord under the Master Lease, and (iv) Sublandlord has no actual knowledge of any default by Master Landlord under the Master Lease. Sublandlord covenants that it will maintain the Master Lease during the entire Sublease Term, subject, however, to any earlier termination of the Master Lease without the fault of Sublandlord. Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Master Landlord to perform its obligations under the Master Lease (including without limitation by making written demands to Master Landlord to perform its obligations under the Master Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Subtenant in its efforts to obtain such performance. Sublandlord hereby covenants not to enter into any amendment or other agreement with respect to the Master Lease without the prior written consent of the Subtenant.
13.3Subordination of Sublease. This Sublease is subject and subordinate to the Master Lease in all respects. If the Master Lease is terminated for any reason whatsoever, then this Sublease shall automatically terminate as if it expired by its terms (unless assumed by Master Landlord), and in such event neither Sublandlord nor Master Landlord shall have any liability whatsoever to Subtenant as a result of such termination, except that Sublandlord shall be liable to Subtenant for any such termination arising as a result of Sublandlord’s default under the Master Lease (to the extent not caused by Subtenant’s acts or omissions). Except as expressly provided in Section 13.2, under no circumstance shall Sublandlord be obligated to, or be responsible or liable in any way for, Master Landlord’s failure to (a) perform any acts required to be completed by Master Landlord under the Master Lease, (b) supply any item, including, but not limited to, any utility or service to the Subleased Premises required to be supplied by Master Landlord under the Master Lease, or (c) complete any work or maintenance in the Subleased Premises, the Building or the Master Premises required to be completed by Master Landlord under the Master Lease; and no such failure will in any way excuse Subtenant’s performance under this Sublease or entitle Subtenant to any abatement of Rent, unless Sublandlord has so received an abatement of Rent from Master Landlord, in which case such abatement shall be passed through to Subtenant.
13.4Incorporation of Terms. Except as expressly provided in this Section 13.4 or as otherwise stated in this Sublease, Subtenant hereby assumes and agrees to perform, and shall
7
inure to the benefit of, each and every covenant, term, condition, and obligation binding on or inuring to the benefit of Sublandlord under the Master Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises (and Sublandlord shall have the right to elect to require Subtenant to perform its obligations under the Master Lease directly to Master Landlord on prior written notice and Master Landlord’s consent to the same). Whenever the term “Landlord,” “Tenant,” or “Premises” appears in the Master Lease, the word “Sublandlord,” “Subtenant” or “Subleased Premises” shall be substituted therefore. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) to the extent of any inconsistencies between the express terms of this Sublease and the terms of the Master Lease incorporated herein by reference, the express terms of this Sublease shall control, (ii) Subtenant shall have no renewal or extension rights (including the Renewal Option), other options under the Master Lease (including the Right of First Offer and Special ROFO) or rights to terminate the Master Lease, whether following a casualty or condemnation event, or otherwise, without prior written consent of Sublandlord and Master Landlord, which may be withheld or conditioned at their sole discretion, (iii) with respect to any obligation of Subtenant to be performed under this Sublease, except as provided in this Sublease, wherever the Master Lease grants to Sublandlord a specified number of days after notice or other time condition to perform its corresponding obligation under the Master Lease (excluding the payment of Rent), Subtenant shall have one-third fewer days (rounded to the nearest whole day) to perform the obligation (by way of example only, Subtenant shall have 10 fewer days to perform an obligation to be performed in 30 days, and shall have 2 fewer days to perform an obligation to be performed in 5 days), including, without limitation, curing any defaults. Any default notice or other notice of any obligations (including any billing or invoice for any Rent or any other expense or charge due under the Master Lease) from Master Landlord which is received by Subtenant (whether directly or as a result of being forwarded by Sublandlord) shall constitute such notice from Sublandlord to Subtenant under this Sublease without the need for any additional notice from Sublandlord, and (iv) Sublandlord shall be solely responsible for any obligations and liability arising under the Master Lease prior to the Commencement Date. Whenever the provisions of the Master Lease require the written consent of Master Landlord, said provisions shall be construed to require the written consent of both Master Landlord and Sublandlord. For any act requiring Master Landlord consent, upon request from Subtenant and subject to Subtenant’s full cooperation, Sublandlord shall promptly make such consent request on behalf of Subtenant and Subtenant shall promptly provide any information or documentation that Master Landlord may request. Wherever the provisions of the Master Lease require the indemnification of Master Landlord, said provisions shall be construed to require the indemnification of both Master Landlord and Sublandlord (and their respective owners, partners, principals, members, trustees, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees and lenders). Subtenant hereby acknowledges that it has read and is familiar with all the terms of the Master Lease.
13.5Survival. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.
14.Utilities; Services. Sublandlord shall have no obligation to provide to the Subleased Premises any services or utilities (including, without limitation, telephone or internet services) of any kind and shall have no liability for any interruption in utilities or services to the Subleased Premises; provided, however, that to the extent Sublandlord provides any services or utilities to the Subleased Premises, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord (upon receipt of invoice) the amounts necessary to reimburse Sublandlord for the actual costs of providing such services.
8
Sublandlord shall not be responsible or liable in any way for any failure or interruption, for any reason whatsoever, of the services, utilities or facilities that may or should be appurtenant or supplied to the Subleased Premises, and no such failure will in any way excuse Subtenant’s performance under this Sublease or entitle Subtenant to any abatement of Rent, unless Sublandlord receives such an abatement from Master Landlord, in which case such abatement shall be passed through to Subtenant, or such failure is a result of Sublandlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or Sublandlord’s default under the Master Lease, in which event Subtenant may contract directly with Master Landlord to restore such interrupted utilities and services. Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord as Rent hereunder any and all sums which Sublandlord may be required to pay to Master Landlord or any service provider arising out of excess consumption by Subtenant or a request by Subtenant for additional building services (e.g., charges associated with after-hours HVAC usage and over-standard electrical charges). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease or the Master Lease, Subtenant agrees that Sublandlord shall not be required to perform any of the covenants, agreements or obligations of Master Landlord under the Master Lease and, insofar as any of the covenants, agreements and obligations of Sublandlord hereunder are required to be performed under the Master Lease by Master Landlord thereunder, Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Subtenant will look solely to Master Landlord for such performance, subject to Section 13.2.
15.Maintenance; “Tenant Work”. Subtenant shall perform all maintenance and repairs in the Subleased Premises which Sublandlord is required to perform under the Master Lease; provided, however, that, at Sublandlord’s option, or if Subtenant fails to make such repairs, Sublandlord may, but need not, make such repairs and replacements, and Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord’s costs or expenses, arising from Sublandlord’s involvement with such repairs and replacements upon being billed for same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Tenant Work performed by Sublandlord pursuant to the Master Lease, Sublandlord shall be solely responsible for completing any “punch list” items and correcting any defects, deviations, or disapprovals identified by Master Landlord pursuant to Master Landlord’s inspection under Exhibit B of the Master Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Sublandlord be obligated to undertake any maintenance and repair obligations that are the responsibility of Master Landlord under the Master Lease.
16.Assignment and Subletting. Subtenant shall not assign, mortgage, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer this Sublease or sub-sublease (which term shall be deemed to include the granting of concessions and licenses and the like) the whole or any part of the Subleased Premises, including by operation of law (any of the foregoing, an “Assignment”), without in each case first obtaining the prior written consent of Sublandlord, not to be unreasonably withheld; it being agreed that it shall be deemed reasonable for Sublandlord to withhold its consent to an Assignment, if Master Landlord has withheld its consent to the same. No Assignment shall relieve Subtenant of any liability under this Sublease. Consent to any such Assignment shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for consent to any subsequent Assignment. In connection with each request for an Assignment, Subtenant shall pay up to $2,500 Sublandlord’s reasonable costs of processing such Assignment, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any fees or costs payable under the Master Lease, upon demand of Sublandlord. Any assignee or subtenant shall assume all of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease and be jointly and severally liable with Subtenant hereunder. Any Assignment hereunder must comply with terms and conditions in Article 10 of the Master Lease.
9
17.Indemnity. Without in any way limiting the applicability or terms of any indemnities found in the Master Lease, Subtenant shall, except to the extent caused by Sublandlord’s negligence or willful misconduct, indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Master Landlord and Sublandlord or any of its owners, partners, principals, members, trustees, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees and lenders (“Sublandlord Related Parties”), from and against any and all Claims occurring within the Subleased Premises on or after the Commencement Date or arising out of, involving, or in connection with, (a) the use or occupancy of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant, (b) the acts or omissions of Subtenant or any of Subtenant’s invitees, agents or employees, (c) any breach of this Sublease by Subtenant, and (d) any violation of Applicable Laws caused by Subtenant. If any action or proceeding is brought against Master Landlord or Sublandlord by reason of any of the foregoing matters, Subtenant shall upon notice defend the same at Subtenant’s expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Master Landlord and Sublandlord. Sublandlord shall, except to the extent caused by Subtenant’s negligence or willful misconduct, indemnify, protect, defend, and hold harmless Subtenant and any of its owners, partners, principals, members, trustees, directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees, and lenders (“Subtenant Related Parties”), from and against any and all Claims occurring within the Subleased Premises prior to the Commencement Date or arising out of, involving, or in connection with (a) the use or occupancy of the Subleased Premises by Sublandlord prior to the Commencement Date, or (b) breach of this Sublease by Sublandlord. If any action or proceeding is brought against Subtenant by reason of any of the foregoing matters, Sublandlord shall upon notice defend the same at Sublandlord’s expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Subtenant.

2.3DELIVERY OF POSSESSION
Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to tender possession of the Premises to Tenant by the later of the Date of Lease or the Projected Commencement Date with the Landlord Work Substantially Complete.

Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that Tenant’s access/entry to the Premises prior to Rent Commencement Date shall be subject to all the provisions of this Lease (including payment of any utilities used in the Premises) other than the payment of Monthly Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, including, without limitation, Tenant’s compliance with the insurance and indemnity requirements of this Lease. In connection with any such early entry, Tenant agrees that it shall not in any way unreasonably interfere with the progress of any other work being conducted in the Building, either by Landlord and/or Landlord’s tenants. Should such early entry unreasonably interfere with the progress of other work, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, then Landlord may demand that Tenant forthwith cease the activities that are causing such interference or vacate the Premises as necessary until such interference would not occur, and Tenant shall immediately comply with such demand.
2.4CONDITION OF PREMISES

Initially, Tenant’s Parking shall be located in the Garage owned by Landlord and located at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and shall be leased by Tenant at then quoted rates. In the event Tenant fails at any time to pay the full amount of any such parking charges beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, then Tenant’s parking rights shall be reduced to the extent of Tenant’s failure to pay for any such parking, and Tenant shall be in Default hereunder. The locations and type of parking shall be designated by Landlord or Landlord’s parking operator from time to time; provided, however, that any portion of Tenant’s Parking that is not provided in the garage shall be located at other location(s) in the vicinity of the Project.

Tenant shall not allow any vehicles using Tenant’s parking privileges to be parked, loaded or unloaded except in accordance with this Section, including in the areas and in the manner reasonably designated by Landlord or its parking operator for such activities.

|
(b) |
If Tenant properly exercises a Renewal Option, then during such Renewal Term all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease as applicable to the Premises during the initial Term shall apply during the Renewal Term, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay Rent Adjustments, except that (i) Tenant shall accept the Premises in their then “as-is” state and condition, and Landlord shall have no obligation to make or pay for any improvements to the Premises, and (ii) during the Renewal Term the Monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant shall be the Fair Market Value during the Renewal Term as hereinafter set forth, except that in no event shall Monthly Base Rent during a Renewal Term be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Monthly Base Rent in effect during the month immediately preceding the Renewal Term. |

For purposes of this Section, the term “Fair Market Value” shall mean the base rental rate, including periodic rent adjustment, for space comparable in size, location and quality of the Premises under primary lease (and not sublease) to new or renewing tenants, for a comparable term with base rent adjusted for the relative tenant improvement allowance, if applicable, and taking into consideration such amenities as existing improvements and non-removable fixtures in place at the time of such renewal (but not including the value of any Tenant Alterations made to the Premises following the Rent Commencement Date and the completion of Tenant’s initial build-out), view, floor on which the Premises is situated and the like, situated in comparable science/laboratory buildings in Emeryville and Berkeley. |
|
(d) |
If Tenant properly exercises a Renewal Option, then Landlord, by notice to Tenant not later than six (6) months prior to commencement of the Renewal Term, shall indicate Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Value. Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after the date on which Landlord provides such notice of the Fair Market Value shall either (i) give Landlord final binding written notice (“Binding Notice”) of Tenant’s acceptance of Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Value, or (ii) if Tenant disagrees with Landlords’ determination, provide Landlord with written notice of Tenant’s election to submit the Fair Market Value to binding arbitration (the “Arbitration Notice”). If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with either a Binding Notice or Arbitration Notice within such fifteen (15) day period, Landlord shall send Tenant a second written notice specifying the Fair Market Rent (“Second FMV Notice”), and such Second FMV Notice shall include the following: “FAILURE TO ACCEPT SAID FAIR MARKET RENT AMOUNT IN WRITING OR DISPUTE SUCH AMOUNT BY SUBMITTING TO ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2.6(d) OF THIS LEASE WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS SHALL BE DEEMED TENANT’S AGREEMENT TO PAY SUCH AMOUNT DURING THE RENEWAL TERM.” If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with either a Binding Notice or Arbitration Notice within ten (10) days after receiving the Second FMV Notice, Tenant shall have been deemed to have given the Binding Notice. If Tenant provides or is deemed to have provided Landlord with a Binding Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Renewal Amendment (as defined below) upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. |
12
(1)Within thirty (30) days after the date Tenant delivers the Arbitration Notice, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall obtain and deliver in writing to Landlord a determination of the Fair Market Value for the Premises for a term equal to the Renewal Term from an independent broker or appraiser (“Tenant’s broker”) licensed in the State of California and engaged in the science/laboratory markets in Emeryville and Berkeley, California, for at least the immediately preceding five (5) years who has not been engaged by either Landlord or Tenant in the last five (5) years. If Landlord accepts such determination, Landlord shall provide written notice thereof within ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of such determination and the Base Rent for the Renewal Term shall be adjusted to an amount equal to the Fair Market Value determined by Tenant’s broker. Landlord shall be deemed to have rejected Tenant’s determination if Landlord fails to respond within the ten (10) day period.
(2)If Landlord provides notice that it rejects, or is deemed to have rejected, such determination, within twenty (20) days after receipt of the determination of Tenant’s broker, Landlord shall designate a broker or appraiser (“Landlord’s broker”) licensed in the State of California and possessing the qualifications set forth in (1) above. Landlord’s broker and Tenant’s broker shall name a third broker, similarly qualified, within five (5) days after the appointment of Landlord’s broker (“Neutral Broker”).
(3)The Neutral Broker shall determine the Fair Market Value for the Premises as of the commencement of the Renewal Term within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of such Neutral Broker by choosing the determination of the Landlord’s broker that was set forth in the initial notice delivered by Landlord pursuant to Section 2.6(d) or the Tenant’s broker that was delivered pursuant to Section 2.6(e)(1) which is closest to its own determination of Fair Market Value. The decision of the Neutral Broker shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant.
|
(f) |
Landlord shall pay the costs and fees of Landlord’s broker in connection with any determination hereunder, and Tenant shall pay the costs and fees of Tenant’s broker in connection with such determination. The costs and fees of the Neutral Broker shall be paid one-half by Landlord and one-half by Tenant. Landlord shall have no obligation to pay a fee or commission to any broker retained by Tenant in connection with Tenant’s exercise of a Renewal Option. |
|
(g) |
If the amount of the Fair Market Value has not been determined pursuant to this Section 2.6 as of the commencement of the Renewal Term, then Tenant shall continue to pay the Base Rent in effect during the last month of the initial Term until the amount of the Fair Market Value is determined. When such determination is made, Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord upon demand. |
13
|
Tenant shall execute and return the Renewal Amendment to Landlord within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of same, but an otherwise valid exercise of the Renewal Option shall be fully effective whether or not the Renewal Amendment is executed. |

(i)Terms. The term for any Affiliate Offering Space shall commence upon the commencement date stated in the Affiliate Offer Notice. Tenant understands and acknowledges that the terms of any accepted Affiliate Offer Notice would require documentation in a new lease between said Emeryville Affiliate and Tenant, the terms of which lease, other than the Affiliate Offer Economic Terms, must be approved by both the Emeryville Affiliate and Tenant in their respective sole and absolute discretions.
(ii)Limitation on Affiliate Offer Right. The Affiliate Offer Right is a one-time only right; and if Tenant does not accept an Affiliate Offer Notice from an Emeryville Affiliate within the fifteen (15) day period provided in Section 2.8(b) above, such right shall terminate. Further, the Affiliate Offer Right shall terminate if and at such time as Landlord is able to offer either Offering Space or Special Offering Space to Tenant pursuant to process outlined in Section 2.7 or 2.8(a) above prior to the expiration of the Special ROFO Period, whether or not Tenant accepts any such offer from Landlord. The Affiliate Offer Right shall also terminate upon the expiration of the Special ROFO Period.
Tenant specifically understands and agrees that, while Landlord has agreed to use its commercially-reasonable efforts to cause an Emeryville Affiliate to follow the Affiliate Offer process outlined above, Landlord’s inability or failure to do so shall not constitute a Default under this Lease, and that Tenant shall have no remedy nor cause of action either against Landlord or against any Emeryville Affiliate for such failure or inability on the part of Landlord nor for the failure of any Emeryville Affiliate to make any Affiliate Offer Notice to Tenant or of any Emeryville Affiliate to conclude a lease with Tenant pursuant to terms contained in any Affiliate Offer Notice that Tenant may have accepted via Affiliate Offer Notice of Exercise.
ARTICLE 3
RENT
Tenant shall 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 or by electronic funds transfer pursuant to Landlord’s written instructions, 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 4, during the Term. Monthly Base Rent shall be paid monthly in advance on the first day of each month of the Term, except that the first installment of Monthly Base Rent shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord concurrently with execution of this Lease. Monthly Base Rent shall be prorated for partial months within the Term. Unpaid Rent shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date Tenant receives a notice of such default due until paid. Tenant’s covenant to pay Rent shall be independent of every other covenant in this Lease.
18
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:
|
(a) |
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; |
|
(b) |
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; |
|
(c) |
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 Lease Year shall be Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for such Lease Year and Tenant’s Share of Taxes for such Lease Year; and |
|
(d) |
For purposes of determining Rent Adjustments, if the Building or Property is not fully occupied during all or a portion of any calendar year (or partial calendar year), Landlord shall make 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 fully 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
On or before April 1 of each calendar year (or as soon thereafter as practical), Landlord will furnish to Tenant a statement (“Landlord’s Statement”) respecting the prior calendar year showing the following:
|
(a) |
Operating Expenses and Taxes for such calendar year; |
|
(b) |
The amount of Rent Adjustments due Landlord for the last calendar year, less credit for Rent Adjustment Deposits paid, if any; and |
19
Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of each Landlord’s Statement any amounts for Rent Adjustments then due in accordance with such 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 expired, provided Tenant is not in Default hereunder. 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 partial calendar year) or during any partial calendar year in which this 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 and Landlord’s obligation to refund any Rent Adjustment Deposit to Tenant shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
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 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. Tenant shall pay for all costs of such examination, provided, however, if such examination results in a discrepancy of more than five percent (5%) in the actual Operating Expenses and Taxes from those shown on the Landlord’s Statement, such costs shall be reimbursed by Landlord. 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 item in the Landlord’s Statement, Tenant shall give notice of such dispute to Landlord and deliver a copy of any such audit to Landlord at the time of notification of the dispute. If Tenant does not provide such notice of dispute and a copy of such audit to Landlord within such ninety (90) day period, it shall be deemed to have waived such right to dispute Landlord’s Statement. Any amount due to 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 while Tenant is in Default under this Lease. Upon resolution of any dispute with respect to Operating Expenses and/or Taxes, Tenant shall either pay Landlord any shortfall or Landlord shall credit Tenant with
20
respect to any overages paid by Tenant (or promptly pay such amount directly to Tenant, if there are not sufficient months left in the Term to credit such amount to). The records obtained by Tenant shall be treated as confidential and neither Tenant nor any of its representatives or agents (including without limitation any financial or legal consultants) shall disclose or discuss the information set forth in the audit to or with any other person or entity except (a) to Tenant’s lawyers and accountants, or (b) as required by applicable law (“Confidentiality Requirement”). Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless for any losses or damages arising out of the breach of the Confidentiality Requirement.
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, within thirty (30) days following receipt of written demand, any and all taxes payable by Landlord (other than federal or state inheritance, franchise, 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 Landlord Work, Tenant Work, Tenant Alterations, or any other improvements to the Premises, whether title thereto is in Landlord or Tenant; or (e) upon this transaction; provided, however, Tenant shall not have any obligation to pay such taxes to the extent they are already included in the calculation of the Operating Expenses for the Project. Taxes paid by Tenant pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall not be included in any computation of Taxes payable pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2.
ARTICLE 5
SECURITY DEPOSIT
Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Security Deposit, in immediately available funds. 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 ten (10) days following receipt of written demand from Landlord 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
21
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 the date Landlord transfers to the transferee of the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof, and such transferee assumes all of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease in writing, including, without limitation, those relating to the Security Deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all the terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions of this Lease, the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord recovers possession of the Premises. 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 the uses to which security deposits may be applied.
If, upon the expiration of the sixth (6th) Lease Year, all of the following are true: a) all Rent due has been paid, b) Tenant is not in Default hereunder, c) Tenant’s net worth and liquidity, as calculated pursuant to GAAP, are each not materially less than they were as of the Date of Lease, Landlord agrees that the Security Deposit amount shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%), to become a revised total of $718,789.00, and the difference of $718,789.00 shall be returned to Tenant within ten (10) days following the expiration of the sixth (6th) Lease Year. Failure of any of the above to be true at the end of the sixth (6th) Lease Year shall mean the Security Deposit shall remain unchanged in amount for the balance of the Lease Term.
ARTICLE 6
SERVICES
6.1LANDLORD’S GENERAL SERVICES
|
(a) |
So long as this Lease is in full force and effect, Landlord shall furnish the following services the cost of which services shall be included in Operating Expenses or paid directly by Tenant to utility or service provider: |
(1)heat, ventilation and air-conditioning (“HVAC”) in the Premises during Standard Operating Hours as necessary in Landlord’s reasonable judgment for the comfortable occupancy of the Premises under normal business office and laboratory operations, and (ii) outside of Tenant’s Standard Operating Hours to minimum safe setback levels for laboratory operations (“After-Hours Setback”), subject to compliance with all applicable mandatory regulations and Laws;
(2)tempered and cold water for normal and customary use in the Premises and in lavatories in common with other tenants from the regular supply of the Building;
(3)customary cleaning and janitorial services in the Common Areas five (5) days per week, excluding National Holidays;
(4)washing of the outside windows in the Premises weather permitting at intervals determined by Landlord; and
22
(5)automatic passenger elevator service in common with other tenants of the Building and freight elevator service subject to reasonable scheduling by Landlord. Tenant shall have access to the Premises seven (7) days per week, twenty-four (24) hours per day, subject to such reasonable measures and systems for access control and/or tenant identification as exist from time to time at the Building, including, for example only, keys or card-keys for entry which shall be provided to Tenant.
|
(b) |
Landlord shall provide a security program for the Building (but not individually for Tenant or the Premises) and Tenant’s Parking generally consistent with the standards of comparable office/laboratory buildings in Emeryville. The cost of the security program shall be an Operating Expense. Landlord shall not be liable in any manner to Tenant or any other Tenant Parties for any acts (including criminal acts) of others, or for any direct, indirect, or consequential damages, or any injury or damage to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, including, but not limited to, loss of profits, loss of rents or other revenues, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss of use, or other loss or damage, bodily injury or death, related to any malfunction, circumvention or other failure of any security program, or for the failure of any security program to prevent bodily injury, death, or property damage, or loss, or to apprehend any person suspected of causing such injury, death, damage or loss. |
|
(c) |
Upon the Rent Commencement Date, Landlord agrees that in the event of an interruption of power to the Building, Tenant will connect Tenant loads to the emergency generator serving the Building (the “Emergency Generator”) on the following conditions: (i) Tenant loads to the Emergency Generator shall in no event exceed Tenant’s Share of the kVA capacity of the Emergency Generator Landlord elects to make available for shared use by tenants of the Building; (ii) any use of the Emergency Generator, including the duration of use, shall be subject to the requirements and limitations (if any) imposed by applicable Law; and (iii) in the event of an emergency causing an interruption of power to any portion of the Building, Landlord may, in its reasonable discretion, immediately shed or shut down Tenant loads (an “Emergency Shut Down”) to the extent reasonably necessary to redirect the power from the Emergency Generator (“Emergency Generator Power”) to the Building’s emergency/life-safety systems (e.g., elevators, fire-life safety and emergency lighting). To the extent Landlord’s load shedding equipment accommodates shedding Tenant loads in stages, then Landlord shall use commercially reasonable good-faith efforts to shed Tenant loads in a priority which Tenant has delivered to Landlord in writing. As a condition to Tenant’s right to connect Tenant loads to the Emergency Generator: |
(i)Tenant shall install and maintain, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (the cost of which may be deducted from Tenant Improvement Allowance), a meter (the “Meter”), which shall be designed and configured to capture all Tenant loads connected to the Emergency Generator. Any and all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the Emergency Generator, including, without limitation, provisions for load-shedding and shunt trips, fuel and maintenance/repair/replacement costs, shall be an Operating Expense; and
(ii)Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to install and maintain a shunt trip device (“Shunt Trip Device”) designed and configured to automatically shut down Tenant’s connection to the Emergency Generator and use of Emergency Generator Power in the
23
event that the generator load for the Building exceeds eighty percent (80%) of the Emergency Generator rating.
(iii)Tenant shall provide Landlord and Landlord’s building management staff (the “Building Management Staff’) with access to the Meter installed on the Emergency Generator (“EG Meter”) during normal business hours with at least 48 hours’ advance notice for the purpose of inspection. In the event that Tenant fails to repair the EG Meter within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice from Landlord thereof, Landlord shall have the right to perform necessary maintenance or repairs thereto, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable and customary out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s written demand therefor (which demand shall be accompanied by documentation of the costs and expenses which are the subject of such demand). Landlord shall have the right at any time during the Lease Term to install and maintain additional or separate transfer switches, meters, control devices and shunt trip devices in order to monitor and control Tenant’s connection to the Emergency Generator and use of the Emergency Generator Power.
(iv)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant acknowledges that the Emergency Generator and any transfer switch may be exercised on a periodic basis, such exercise to be conducted by Landlord or the Building Management Staff at Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Tenant further acknowledges that annual maintenance procedures require that the Emergency Generator be taken off-line and that an annual full load test be performed on an annual basis, which test shall be conducted by Landlord or the Building Management Staff at Landlord’s reasonable discretion; provided, however, Landlord shall give Tenant not less than five (5) business days’ prior written notice thereof. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of rent or other recourse in the event that Emergency Generator Power is not available for any reason. Landlord’s actual out-of-pocket cost of such exercise and testing shall be included in the maintenance costs, of which Tenant shall pay its proportionate share as set forth above in Paragraph 5(f).
(v)Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall surrender and assign to Landlord the Meter with the Premises. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any reimbursement from Landlord for costs incurred by Tenant in connection with Tenant’s installation and maintenance of the Meter.
(vi)The rights granted to Tenant under this Section 6.1(c) are personal to the named Tenant hereunder (and any assignee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer) (each an “Approved User”), and shall only be exercisable by an Approved User so long only one connection exists from the Premises to the Emergency Generator at a time. Any attempt by an Approved User or any of its subtenants or other transferees to make any additional connection from the Premises to the Emergency Generator shall constitute a material breach and default, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable and customary out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with curing any such default within ten (10) business days following Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s demand therefor accompanied by documentation of such costs and expenses.
24
|
negligence of Tenant, its employees, agents, servants, licensees, subtenants, contractors or invitees, such cost shall be paid by Tenant within ten (10) days after notice from Landlord and shall not be included as part of Operating Expenses. |
|
(e) |
If Tenant uses heat generating machines or equipment in the Premises to an extent which materially and adversely affects the temperature otherwise maintained by the air-cooling system or whenever the occupancy or electrical load materially and adversely affects the temperature otherwise maintained by the air-cooling system, and if Tenant fails to eliminate such impact within thirty (30) days following written notice from Landlord, Landlord reserves the right to install or to require Tenant to install supplementary air-conditioning units to service the Premises. Tenant shall bear all reasonable costs and expenses related to the installation, maintenance and operation of such units. |
6.2 UTILITIES AND JANITORIAL SERVICES
All utility services used in the production of heating and cooling and air supply and exhaust from the central HVAC systems serving the Building and Premises, including, without limitation, electricity and gas, as well as water and sewer services, shall constitute Operating Expenses. If Landlord so elects, any or all utility services used by Tenant within the Premises, including, without limitation, electricity and gas, shall be paid for by Tenant by separate charge and shall not be included as part of Operating Expenses. Such charges shall be based upon Tenant’s usage as measured by a separate meter or sub-meter for the Premises installed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (the cost of which may be deducted from Tenant Improvement Allowance), a meter, or as reasonably estimated by Landlord and shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within 30 days after billing by Landlord. In addition, Tenant shall provide its own janitorial services to the Premises, using a janitorial service reasonably acceptable to Landlord or shall make arrangements with Landlord for Landlord, through Landlord’s vendors, to perform such Premises cleaning services, and shall pay the costs thereof directly to Landlord. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not make any alterations or additions to the electric equipment or systems, in each instance, without the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as such alterations or additions (i) do not exceed the capacity of the wiring, feeders and risers and (ii) are in compliance with the City’s building code. Tenant’s use of electric current shall at no time exceed the capacity of the wiring, feeders and risers providing electric current to the Premises or the Building. The consent of Landlord to the installation of electric equipment shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to limit usage of electricity to no more than such capacity.
6.3 ADDITIONAL AND AFTER HOUR SERVICES
At Tenant’s written request, Landlord shall furnish additional quantities of any of the services or utilities specified in Section 6.1, if Landlord can reasonably do so, on the terms set forth herein. For services or utilities requested by Tenant and furnished by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as a charge therefor Landlord’s prevailing rates charged from time to time for such services and utilities, including, without limitation, HVAC service outside of Standard Operating Hours and beyond After-Hours Setback levels.
25
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 reasonably approved by Landlord, and shall be subject to the direction of Landlord and in compliance with Landlord’s then current Building Standards for voice, data and wiring installation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such approval is not required for Tenant’s telephone equipment (including cabling) within the Premises and from the Premises in a route reasonably designated by Landlord to any telephone cabinet or panel provided on Tenant’s floor for Tenant’s connection to the telephone cable serving the Building so long as Tenant’s equipment does not require connections different from or additional to those to the telephone cabinet or panel provided. 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 such service but are allocable to the Building generally. If Tenant fails to maintain all telephone cables and communication wiring in the Premises, and such failure adversely affects or interferes with the operation or maintenance of any other telephone cables or communication wiring serving the Building, Landlord or any vendor hired by Landlord may enter into and upon the Premises forthwith and perform such repairs, restorations or alterations as Landlord deems reasonably necessary in order to eliminate any such interference (and Landlord may recover from Tenant all of Landlord’s reasonable costs in connection therewith). Tenant agrees that neither Landlord nor any of its agents or employees shall be liable to Tenant, or any of Tenant’s employees, agents, customers or invitees or anyone claiming through, by or under Tenant, for any damages, injuries, losses, expenses, claims or causes of action because of any interruption, diminution, delay or discontinuance at any time for any reason in the furnishing of any telephone or other communication service to the Premises and the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, to the extent such interruption, diminution, delay or discontinuance is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct by Landlord, the property manager, the leasing manager for the Property and their respective partners, members, directors, officers, agents and employees, then Tenant shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, to pursue an action for actual damages (but not punitive, consequential, exemplary, treble or special damages) against Landlord. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement of Rent or the right to terminate this Lease due to any such interruption, diminution, delay or discontinuance.
6.5 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
26
deduction or offset; provided, however, in the case of any such failure or delay is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and the same materially interferes with Tenant’s ability to conduct business in the Premises, then unless Landlord is diligently pursuing a remedy, Rent shall be abated commencing on the fifth (5th) consecutive business day following such failure or delay and shall continue until such time as the failure or delay that materially interferes with Tenant’s ability to conduct business in the Premises is cured. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall make commercially reasonable efforts to provide Tenant with at least three (3) business days’ notice of any known, planned interruption in utilities or services. 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.
6.6 CHOICE OF SERVICE PROVIDER
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole option, to the extent permitted by applicable law, elect to change, from time to time, the company or companies which provide services (including electrical service, gas service, water, telephone and technical services) to the Building, the Premises and/or its occupants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not and does not make any representations or warranties concerning the identity or identities of the company or companies which provide services to the Building and the Premises or its occupants and Tenant acknowledges that the choice of service providers and matters concerning the engagement and termination thereof shall be solely that of Landlord. The foregoing provision is not intended to modify, amend, change or otherwise derogate any provision of this Lease concerning the nature or type of service to be provided or any specific information concerning the amount thereof to be provided. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and each of its service providers in connection with any change in service or provider.
6.7 SIGNAGE
|
(a) |
Initial Building standard signage for Tenant will be installed by Landlord in the directory in the main lobby of the Building and, in the case of any multi-tenant floor, in the listing of tenants in the elevator lobby for the floor on which the Premises is located, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. In the event Tenant occupies an entire floor of the Building, Tenant may install its own signage in the elevator lobby of such floor, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 below. Any change in such initial signage shall be only with Landlord’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), shall conform to Building standard signage and shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. |

POSSESSION, USE AND CONDITION OF PREMISES
7.1 POSSESSION AND USE OF PREMISES
|
(a) |
Tenant shall occupy and use the Premises only for the uses specified in Section 1.1(15) to conduct Tenant’s business. Tenant shall not occupy or use the Premises (or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises) for any purpose or in any manner which: (1) is unlawful or in violation of any applicable Law or Environmental Law; (2) may be dangerous to persons or property or which may increase the cost of, or invalidate, any policy of insurance carried on the Building or covering its operations; (3) is contrary to or prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Lease or the rules of the Building set forth in Article 18; (4) creates a nuisance, or (5) in any manner that will cause the Building or any part thereof not to conform with the Project’s Sustainability Practices or the certification of the Building pursuant to the applicable Green Building Standards; provided, however, that in no event shall such practices or certification requirements have the effect of preventing Tenant from conducting its business at the Premises in a manner consistent with the Permitted Use. |
|
(b) |
Upon Commencement Date, Landlord shall provide Tenant with 250 Access Card Keys the cost of which shall be paid by Tenant within ten (10) days of Landlord’s demand therefor (or at Tenant’s election, the cost thereof may be deducted from Tenant Improvement Allowance), and Tenant shall place a deposit for such cards with Landlord to cover lost cards or cards which are not returned at the end of the Term. |

responsible for ADA Title III compliance in the Premises, subject to Landlord’s obligation to construct all of the Landlord Work in compliance with all applicable Laws (including ADA), on an unoccupied basis and without regard to Tenant’s specific use of the Premises, the cost of which compliance shall be a Tenant Improvement Allowance Item (as defined in the Workletter); provided, however, Landlord shall make commercially reasonable efforts to cause such ADA Title III compliance to be at the cost of the Architect, Building Consultants, and/or Contractor (all as defined in the Workletter), to the extent such non-compliance was due to any negligent act or omission on any of their parts; (C) Landlord may perform, or require that Tenant perform, and Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of, ADA Title III “path of travel” requirements triggered by Tenant Additions in the Premises, and (D) Landlord may perform, or require Tenant to perform, and Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of, ADA Title III compliance in the Common Areas necessitated by the Building being deemed to be a “public accommodation” instead of a “commercial facility” as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises. Tenant shall be solely responsible for requirements under Title I of the ADA relating to Tenant’s employees. |

Civil Code Section 1938. TENANT HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PROTECTIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1938. IF SUCH WAIVER IS NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW, THEN THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS SHALL APPLY. The Premises have not been issued a disability access inspection certificate or undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (“CASp”). The following notice is given pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1938: “A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises.” Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that if Tenant elects to perform a CASp inspection of the Premises, Tenant will provide written notice to Landlord, and Landlord may elect, in Landlord’s sole discretion, to retain a CASp to perform the inspection. If Landlord does not so elect, the time and manner of the CASp inspection is subject to the prior written approval of Landlord. In either event, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection shall be borne by Tenant. The cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the Premises shall be allocated as provided in this Article. |

Subject to the provisions of Articles 4 and 14, Landlord shall, as an Operating Expense, maintain and make necessary repairs to the foundations, roofs, exterior walls, and the structural elements of the Building, the electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, mechanical, communication, security and the fire and life safety systems of the Building and those corridors, washrooms and lobbies which are Common Areas of the Building, except that: (a) Landlord shall not be responsible for the maintenance or repair of any floor or wall coverings in the Premises or any of such systems which are located within the Premises and are supplemental or special to the Building’s standard systems; and (b) the cost of performing any of said maintenance or repairs whether to the Premises or to the Building caused by the negligence of Tenant, its employees, agents, servants, licensees, subtenants, contractors or invitees, shall be paid by Tenant, subject to the waivers set forth in Section 16.4. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any expense, injury, loss or damage resulting from work done in or upon, or in connection with the use of, any adjacent or nearby building, land, street or alley. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, to the extent such expense, injury, loss or damage is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct by Landlord, the property manager, the leasing manager for the Property and their respective partners, members, directors, officers, agents and employees, then Tenant shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, to pursue an action for actual damages (but not punitive, consequential, exemplary, treble or special damages) against Landlord. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement of Rent or the right to terminate this Lease due to any such expense, injury, loss or damage.
8.2 TENANT’S MAINTENANCE
Tenant shall periodically inspect the Premises to identify any conditions that are dangerous or in need of maintenance or repair. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with notice of any such conditions. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, perform all maintenance and repairs to the Premises that are not Landlord’s express responsibility under this Lease, and keep the Premises in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and damages from casualty excepted. Tenant’s repair and maintenance obligations include, without limitation, repairs to: (a) floor covering; (b) interior partitions; (c) doors; (d) the interior side of demising walls; (e) electronic, phone and data cabling, wiring and related equipment that is installed by or for the exclusive benefit of Tenant (collectively, “Cable”); (f) supplemental air conditioning units, kitchens, including hot water heaters, plumbing, and similar facilities exclusively serving Tenant; and (g) Tenant Alterations. To the extent Landlord is not reimbursed by insurance proceeds, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of repairing damage to the Building caused by the acts of Tenant, Tenant Parties and their respective contractors and vendors. All maintenance and repairs, including, but not limited to, janitorial and cleaning services, pest control and waste management and recycling performed by or on behalf of Tenant must comply with the Project’s Sustainability Practices and the applicable Green Building Standards. If Tenant fails to make any repairs to the Premises for more than thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord (although notice shall not be required in an emergency), Landlord may make the repairs, and Tenant shall pay the reasonable
42
cost of the repairs, together with an administrative charge in an amount equal to 10% of the cost of the repairs. Tenant hereby waives all right to make repairs at the expense of Landlord or in lieu thereof to vacate the Premises and its other similar rights as provided in California Civil Code Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 or any other Laws (whether now or hereafter in effect). In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for repairing all special tenant fixtures and improvements, including garbage disposals, showers, plumbing, and appliances.
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, conditioned or delayed, make or cause to be made any Tenant Alterations in or to the Premises or any Building 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 9, Tenant may undertake Decoration work without Landlord’s prior written consent. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with the names and addresses of all contractors and subcontractors and copies of all contracts. All Tenant Alterations shall be completed at such time and in such manner as Landlord may from time to time designate, and only by contractors or mechanics approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that Landlord may, in its sole discretion, specify the engineers and contractors to perform all work relating to the Building’s Systems (including the mechanical, heating, plumbing, security, ventilating, air-conditioning, electrical, communication and the fire and life safety systems in the Building). 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 unreasonable 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 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 (only to the extent applicable and applicable to the type of Tenant Alterations proposed by Tenant): 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, and such other documents in such form reasonably requested by Landlord. Landlord may, in the exercise of reasonable judgment, request that Tenant provide Landlord with appropriate evidence of Tenant’s ability to complete and pay for the completion of the Tenant Alterations such as a performance bond or letter of credit for any Tenant Alterations which are expected to cost more than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). 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.
43
(2)Tenant shall pay the cost of all Tenant Alterations and the cost of decorating the Premises and any work to the Property occasioned thereby. 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 Laws, Hazardous Materials Laws, all requirements of applicable insurance companies and in accordance with Landlord’s standard construction rules and regulations, (ii) in a good and workmanlike manner with the use of good grades of materials, and (iii) in accordance with the requirements of the Project’s Sustainability Practices and comply with the applicable Green Building Standards. Tenant shall notify Landlord immediately if Tenant receives any notice of violation of any Law in connection with completion of any Tenant Alterations and shall immediately 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.
|
(b) |
All Tenant Additions, whether installed by Landlord or Tenant, shall without compensation or credit to Tenant, become part of the Premises and the property of Tenant at the time of their installation and shall remain in the Premises, unless pursuant to Article 12, Tenant may remove them or is required to remove them at Landlord’s request. Any remaining Tenant Additions and Landlord Work shall become the property of Landlord at the expiration or termination of this Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall retain the right to depreciation deductions of all Tenant Alterations made at Tenant’s expense. |
9.2LIENS
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; provided that Tenant shall have no obligation for liens or encumbrances caused by Landlord even if such liens or encumbrances arise out of work done on behalf of or for the benefit 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, reasonably 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 11, 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 expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
44
ARTICLE 10
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
10.1 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
|
(a) |
Subject to Landlord’s recapture right set forth in Section 10.2, 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. Tenant agrees that the provisions governing sublease and assignment set forth in this Article 10 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 financial and other information sufficient 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 a portion of the Premises containing more than 3,000 rentable square feet, the space proposed to be sublet and the space retained by Tenant must each be a marketable unit as reasonably determined by Landlord 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 its decision to exercise its rights under Section 10.2 within ten (10) business days after receipt of Tenant’s Notice (and all required information). In the event Landlord fails to respond to Tenant’s Notice within such ten (10) day period, then Tenant may deliver to Landlord a second (2nd) written request, which must contain the following inscription, in bold faced lettering: “SECOND NOTICE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 10.1 OF THE LEASE - - FAILURE TO TIMELY RESPOND WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL RESULT IN DEEMED APPROVAL OF PROPOSED TRANSFER.” If Landlord fails to respond within such three (3) business day period, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the proposed transfer that was the subject of such Tenant Notice. Tenant shall submit for Landlord’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) 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, Landlord may take into consideration any factors that Landlord may deem relevant in its commercially reasonable judgment, and the reasons for which Landlord’s denial shall be deemed to be reasonable shall include, without limitation, the following: |
(i)the business reputation or creditworthiness of any proposed subtenant or assignee is not acceptable to Landlord; or
(ii)in Landlord’s reasonable judgment the proposed assignee or sublessee would diminish the value or reputation of the Project or Landlord; or
45
(iii)any proposed assignee’s or sublessee’s use of the Premises would violate Section 7.1 of this Lease or would violate the provisions of any other leases of tenants in the Project; or
(iv)the proposed sublessee or assignee is a bona fide prospective tenant of Landlord in the Project as demonstrated by a written proposal dated within six (6) months prior to the date of Tenant’s request and Landlord has vacancy in the Project of a similar size and finish as the space subject to such proposed sublease or assignment; or
(v)the proposed sublessee or assignee would materially increase the estimated pedestrian and vehicular traffic to and from the Premises and the Project above that deemed typical by Landlord for office/lab use in the Project; or
(vi)a Default by Tenant under this Lease shall be continuing.
|
(c) |
Any sublease or assignment shall be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Any subtenant or assignee shall execute such commercially reasonable and customary 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. |
|
(d) |
For purposes of this Article 10, an assignment shall be deemed to include a change in the majority control of Tenant, resulting from any transfer, sale or assignment of shares of stock of Tenant occurring by operation of Law or otherwise if Tenant is a corporation whose shares of stock are not traded publicly. If Tenant is a partnership, any change in the partners of Tenant shall be deemed to be an assignment. |

or sublandlord) continues in existence with a net worth not less than Tenant’s net worth immediately prior to such assignment or subletting; (4) the Permitted Transferee expressly assumes (except a Permitted Transferee which is a deemed assignee under subpart (iii) of this Section 10.1(e) or which is a sublessee in the event of a sublease under this Section 10.1(e)) in writing reasonably satisfactory to Landlord all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease and delivers such assumption to Landlord no later than fifteen (15) days following the effective date of the assignment; (5) Landlord receives no later than five (5) days following the effective date a fully executed copy of the applicable assignment or sublease agreement between Tenant and the Permitted Transferee; (6) promptly after Landlord’s written request, Tenant and the Permitted Transferee provide such reasonable documents and information which Landlord reasonably requests for the purpose of substantiating whether or not the assignment or sublease is to a Permitted Transferee; and (7) such transfer is not being entered into for the primary purpose of avoiding the requirement for Landlord’s prior consent or the provisions of Sections 10.2 or 10.3. All determinations of net worth and liquidity for purposes of this Subsection shall exclude any value attributable to goodwill or going concern value. |
|
(f) |
With respect to any sublease hereunder, subject to Section 10.3 below, Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord, effective upon any such sublease, all rent and other payments due from subtenant under the sublease, provided however, that Tenant shall have a license to collect such rent and other payments until the occurrence of a Default by Tenant under any of the provisions of this Lease. At any time after such Default, at Landlord’s option, Landlord shall have the right to give notice to the subtenant of such assignment. Landlord shall credit Tenant with any rent received by Landlord under such assignment, but the acceptance of any payment on account of rent from the subtenant as the result of any such default shall in no manner whatsoever serve to release Tenant from any liability under the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or agreement under this Lease. No such payment of rent or any other payment by the subtenant directly to Landlord and/or acceptance of such payment(s) by Landlord, regardless of the circumstances or reasons therefor, shall in any manner whatsoever be deemed an attornment by the subtenant to Landlord in the absence of a specific written agreement signed by Landlord to such an effect. |
10.2 RECAPTURE
Excluding any assignment or sublease contemplated in Section 10.1(e), if Tenant requests an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of the entire Premises for any period or a sublease for at least seventy-five (75%) of the Premises for the remainder of the then-current Term, Landlord shall have the option to exclude from the Premises covered by this Lease (“recapture”) the space proposed to be sublet or subject to assignment, effective as of the proposed commencement date of such sublease or proposed effective date of such assignment. If Landlord elects to recapture, Tenant shall have the right to revoke the request to so sublet or assign by providing Landlord written notice thereof no later than five (5) days following Landlord’s recapture notice to Tenant in which case, the Premises shall not be transferred, and this Lease will remain in full force and effect with respect to the entirety of the Premises then-existing as of the date of such request or consent by Tenant. If Landlord elects to recapture and Tenant has not revoked its request for consent, 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, such date being the Termination Date for such space. Effective as of the date of recapture of any portion
47
of the Premises pursuant to this section, the Monthly Base Rent, Rentable Area of the Premises and Tenant’s Share shall be adjusted accordingly.
10.3 EXCESS RENT
Except in connection with any assignment or sublease contemplated in Section 10.1(e), 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: a) that portion of the Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments due under this Lease for said month which is allocable to the space sublet or assigned, and b) the following costs and expenses for the subletting or assignment of such space: (i) brokerage commissions and attorneys’ fees and expenses, (ii) the actual costs paid in making any improvements or substitutions in the Premises required by any sublease or assignment; and (iii) “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.
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 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. 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 Permitted Transferees), 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 sublease rent 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) except in connection with Permitted Transfers, an amount equal to the sum of (i) Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, not to exceed $2,000, plus (ii) the sum of $1,500.00 for the cost of Landlord’s administrative, accounting and clerical time
48
(collectively, “Processing Costs”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall not be required to process any request for Landlord’s consent to an assignment or subletting until Tenant has paid to Landlord the amount of Landlord’s estimate of the Processing Costs. When the actual amount of the Processing Costs is determined, it shall be reconciled with Landlord’s estimate, and any payments or refunds required as a result thereof shall promptly thereafter be made by the parties.
10.7 EFFECT OF IMPERMISSIBLE TRANSFER
Any assignment or sublease effected without Landlord’s consent in violation of this Article 10 shall, at Landlord’s option, be a non-curable Default under Section 11.1 without the necessity of any notice and grace period.
ARTICLE 11
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
11.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT
The occurrence or existence of any one or more of the following shall constitute a “Default” by Tenant under this Lease:

(ii)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, unless the default involves a hazardous condition, which shall be cured forthwith or unless the failure to perform is a Default for which this Lease specifies there is no cure or grace period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such cure cannot be reasonably completed within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall have such longer period as needed to complete such cure (up to ninety (90) days, subject to extension due to Force Majeure) so long as the cure is commenced within such thirty (30) day period and Tenant diligently pursues to completion;
(iii)Tenant fails to maintain any insurance policy required hereunder, and fails to cure such default within five (5) business days after written notice thereof to Tenant;
(iv)Tenant abandons the Premises for a period of ten (10) consecutive days or any abandonment of the Premises by Tenant which would cause any insurance policy to be invalidated or otherwise lapse, in each of forgoing cases if Tenant is then in monetary default under this Lease;
(v)an assignment or sublease, or attempted assignment or sublease, of this Lease or the Premises by Tenant contrary to the provisions of Article 10, unless such assignment or sublease is expressly conditioned upon Tenant having received Landlord’s consent thereto;
49
(vi)the interest of Tenant in this Lease is levied upon under execution or other legal process;
(vii)a petition is filed by or against Tenant to declare Tenant bankrupt or seeking a plan of reorganization or arrangement under any Chapter of the Bankruptcy Act, or any amendment, replacement or substitution therefor, or to delay payment of, reduce or modify Tenant’s debts, which in the case of an involuntary action is not discharged within sixty (60) days;
(viii)Tenant is declared insolvent by Law or any assignment of Tenant’s property is made for the benefit of creditors;
(ix)a receiver is appointed for Tenant or Tenant’s property, which appointment is not discharged within thirty (30) days;
(x)any action taken by or against Tenant to reorganize or modify Tenant’s capital structure in a materially adverse way which in the case of an involuntary action is not discharged within thirty (30) days; or
(xi)upon the dissolution of Tenant.
11.2 LANDLORD’S REMEDIES
|
(a) |
A Default shall constitute a breach of this 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. |
50
|
12.1, and Tenant hereby indemnifies, and agrees to defend, protect and hold harmless, the Indemnitees from any and all loss, claims, demands, actions, expenses, liability and cost (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) 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.
51
|
act of Landlord shall 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 re-let 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 24 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 (except as may be required under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 et seq.), 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 26.16 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. |
11.3ATTORNEY’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 reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs of investigation as actually incurred, including court costs, expert witness fees, costs and expenses of investigation, and all reasonable 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 the
00
Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx 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
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 subclauses (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 that it will cure all nonmonetary 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. |
|
(d) |
For the purposes hereof, “adequate assurance of future performance” means that Landlord has ascertained that each of the following conditions has been satisfied: |
(i)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
(ii)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.
|
(e) |
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. |
53
Landlord shall be in default hereunder in the event Landlord has not commenced and pursued with reasonable diligence the cure of any failure of Landlord to meet its obligations hereunder within thirty (30) days after the receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant of the alleged failure to perform. Failure to provide the requisite notice and cure period by Tenant under this paragraph shall be an absolute defense by Landlord against any claims for failure to perform any of its obligations. 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 and for breach of any promise or inducement shall be limited to a suit for damages and/or injunction. In addition, Tenant hereby covenants that, prior to the exercise of any such remedies, it will give the Mortgagee notice and a reasonable time to cure any default by Landlord, provided that Tenant has received written notice of the address of such Mortgagee.
ARTICLE 12
SURRENDER OF PREMISES
12.1 IN GENERAL
Upon the Termination Date, Tenant shall surrender and vacate the Premises immediately and deliver possession thereof to Landlord in a broom-clean, good and tenantable condition, excepting ordinary wear and tear, repairs and maintenance for which Landlord is responsible under this Lease and damage caused by casualty and/or Landlord. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all keys to the Premises. All permanent improvements in and to the Premises (other than Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment and personal property), including any Tenant Alterations (collectively, “Leasehold Improvements”) shall remain upon the Premises at the end of the Term without compensation to Tenant. Landlord, however, by written notice to Tenant at least 90 days prior to the Termination Date, may require Tenant, at its expense, to remove (a) any Cable, and (b) any Tenant Additions 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 laboratory and office improvements, as applicable, only to the extent Landlord notified Tenant of such required removal at the time Landlord approved such Tenant Addition (collectively referred to as “Required Removables”). Required Removables shall include, without limitation, raised floors, personal baths and showers, vaults, rolling file systems and structural alterations and modifications. The designated Required Removables shall be removed by Tenant before the Termination Date. Tenant’s removal and disposal of items pursuant to this Paragraph 12 must comply with the Project’s Sustainability Practices and the applicable Green Building Standards. 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. Tenant, at the time it requests approval for a proposed Tenant Alteration, may request in writing that Landlord advise Tenant whether the proposed Tenant Alteration or any portion of the proposed Tenant Alteration is a Required Removable. Within 10 days after receipt of Tenant’s request, Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing as to which portions of the proposed Tenant Alterations are Required Removables. If any of the Tenant Additions which were installed by Tenant involved the lowering of ceilings, raising of floors or the installation of
54
specialized wall or floor coverings or lights, unless otherwise approved by Landlord, then 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 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 remains in the Premises after the Termination Date (including any of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment and personal property) 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 Required Removables Tenant failed to remove prior to the Termination Date and in restoring the Premises to the condition required by this Lease. For the period prior to the Termination Date, Landlord hereby waives any lien rights which it may otherwise have concerning Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, equipment and/or supplies at the Premises, and Tenant shall have the right to remove the same at any time without Landlord’s consent.
ARTICLE 13
HOLDING OVER
In the event that Tenant holds over in possession of the Premises after the Termination Date, for each month or partial month Tenant holds over possession of the Premises, Tenant shall pay Landlord 150% of the monthly Base Rent payable for the month immediately preceding the holding over, as well as Rent Adjustments during the period of such holding over, as the same may be reasonably estimated by Landlord). Tenant shall also pay all damages, but not including consequential damages, sustained by Landlord by reason of such holding over. The provisions of this Article 13 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

|
and restoration will exceed one hundred eighty (180) 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 by delivering written notice to the other at any time within thirty (30) days after delivery of Landlord’s Notice, provided that if Landlord so chooses, Landlord’s Notice may also constitute such notice of termination. |
|
(b) |
Unless this Lease is terminated as provided in the preceding subparagraph, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable promptness to repair and restore the Premises to its condition as existed prior to such casualty, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustments and Force Majeure delays, and also subject to zoning Laws and building codes then in effect. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease if such repairs and 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord is obligated to repair or restore the Premises pursuant to this Section 14.1(b) and does not Commence (as defined below in this Section 14.1(b)) such repair or restoration within ninety (90) days after such obligation shall accrue (the “Outside Start Date”), which Outside Start Date shall be subject to extension due to Force Majeure, Tenant shall have the right, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Lease effective as of the date that is thirty (30) days after the Outside Start Date (the “Casualty Lease Termination Date”) by giving written notice thereof to Landlord (“Tenant’s Termination Notice”) within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Start Date; provided, however, that if Landlord does Commence the repair or restoration on or before the Casualty Lease Termination Date, Tenant’s election to termination shall be null and void and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. “Commence” shall mean either the unconditional authorization of the preparation of the required plans necessary for such repair or restoration, or the beginning of the actual work to repair or restore the Premises, whichever first occurs. In order for Tenant to have the termination right provided for in this Section 14.1(b), Tenant’s Termination Notice must (i) be concurrently sent to any Mortgagee whose address has been provided to Tenant, and (ii) state Tenant’s intention to terminate this Lease as of the Casualty Lease Termination Date. |
|
(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 (i) those proceeds of Tenant’s insurance of its own personal property, trade fixtures and equipment which would be removable by Tenant at the Termination Date, and (ii) proceeds of any business interruption insurance maintained by Tenant. 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 Additions at Tenant’s cost, to the extent Landlord received proceeds of Tenant’s insurance covering Tenant Additions, such proceeds shall be applied to reimburse Tenant for its cost of repairing and restoring Tenant Additions. |
56
|
pursuant to this Article 14, in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by any such damage, destruction, rebuilding or restoration of the Premises or the Building or access thereto. |
|
(e) |
Any repair or restoration of the Premises performed by Tenant shall be in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 hereof. |
14.2 INSUBSTANTIAL UNTENANTABILITY
If the Premises or the Building is damaged by a casualty but neither is rendered substantially untenantable for the Permitted Use, and Landlord’s Notice indicates that the time to substantially complete the repair or restoration will not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the date such damage occurred, then Landlord shall proceed to repair and restore the Building and/or the Premises other than Tenant Additions, with reasonable promptness, unless such damage is to the Premises and occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term (regardless of the estimated repair time), 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 thirty (30) 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
Except for the negligence or willful act of Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, 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 shall xxxxx 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 14, 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.
ARTICLE 15
EMINENT DOMAIN
15.1 TAKING OF WHOLE OR SUBSTANTIAL PART
In the event the whole or any substantial part of the Building or of the Premises is taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public use or purpose (including a deed given in
57
lieu of condemnation) and is thereby rendered untenantable or such taking could reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on Tenant’s ability to operate its business at the Premises in substantially the same manner operated by Tenant prior to such taking, this Lease shall terminate as of the date title vests in such authority, and Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments shall be apportioned as of the Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein set forth, in the event the taking is temporary (for less than the remaining Term of this 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, this 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 Additions) 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of any taking, or a governmental order that the grade of any street or alley adjacent to the Building is to be changed and such taking or change of grade makes it necessary or desirable to substantially remodel or restore the Building or prevents the economical operation of the Building, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Tenant.
15.3 COMPENSATION
Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award (or sale proceeds) from any such taking, condemnation or sale without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord, Tenant’s interest, if any, in such award; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right separately to pursue against the condemning authority a separate award in respect of the loss, if any, to Tenant Additions paid for by Tenant and relocation costs without any credit or allowance from Landlord so long as there is no diminution of Landlord’s award as a result.
ARTICLE 16
INSURANCE
16.1 TENANT’S INSURANCE
Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, agrees to maintain in force, with a company or companies acceptable to Landlord, during the Term: (a) Commercial General Liability Insurance on a primary basis and without any right of contribution from any insurance carried by Landlord covering the Premises on an occurrence basis against all claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death and property damage, including contractual liability covering the indemnification provisions in this Lease, and such insurance shall be for such limits that are reasonably required by Landlord from time to time but not less than a combined single limit (each occurrence and in the aggregate) of
58
Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (which limit may be achieved through use of umbrella coverage); (b) Workers’ Compensation and Employers’ Liability Insurance to the extent required by and in accordance with the Laws of the State of California; (c) “All Risks” property insurance in an amount adequate to cover the full replacement cost of all Tenant Additions, equipment, installations, fixtures and contents of the Premises (including coverage in the event of loss from earthquake, water damage, and earthquake sprinkler leakage, up to a maximum coverage amount of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00)); (d) in the event a motor vehicle is to be used by Tenant in connection with its business operation from the Premises, Comprehensive Automobile Liability Insurance coverage with limits of not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single limit coverage against bodily injury liability and property damage liability arising out of the use by or on behalf of Tenant, its agents and employees in connection with this Lease, of any owned, non-owned or hired motor vehicles; (e) environmental liability (also known as “Pollution Legal Liability”) coverage with limits of not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) to cover Tenant’s indemnity obligations pursuant to Section 7.1(f)(5) above; and (f) such other insurance or coverages as Landlord reasonably requires, so long as such coverages are then required for all comparable tenants of the Project.
16.2 FORM OF POLICIES
Each policy referred to in Section 16.1 shall satisfy the following requirements. Each policy shall (i) name Landlord and the Indemnitees as additional insureds (except Workers’ Compensation and Employers’ Liability Insurance), (ii) be issued by one or more responsible insurance companies licensed to do business in the State of California reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (iii) where applicable, provide for deductible amounts satisfactory to Landlord and not permit co-insurance, and (iv) each policy of “All-Risks” property insurance shall provide that the policy shall not be invalidated should the insured waive in writing prior to a loss, any or all rights of recovery against any other party for losses covered by such policies. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, certificates of insurance (and at Landlord’s request, copies of all policies and renewals thereof to be maintained by Tenant hereunder), prior to Tenant’s entry into the Premises and prior to the expiration date of each policy. Additionally, Tenant shall provide Landlord written notice of any cancelation or amendment of any such insurance within two (2) business days following Tenant’s knowledge of the same. If Tenant fails to carry the insurance required under this Article 16 or fails to provide certificates of renewal as and when required hereunder, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to acquire such insurance on Tenant’s behalf or Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
16.3 LANDLORD’S INSURANCE
Landlord agrees to purchase and keep in full force and effect during the Term hereof, including any extensions or renewals thereof, insurance under policies issued by insurers of recognized responsibility, qualified to do business in the State of California on the Building in amounts sufficient to cover the replacement cost thereof, insuring against fire and such other risks as may be included in standard forms of all risk coverage insurance reasonably available from time to time.

59
($5,000,000.00) (which limit may be achieved through use of umbrella coverage). Neither Landlord’s obligation to carry such insurance nor the carrying of such insurance shall be deemed to be an indemnity by Landlord with respect to any claim, liability, loss, cost or expense due, in whole or in part, to Tenant’s negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct. Without obligation to do so, Landlord may, in its sole discretion from time to time, carry insurance in amounts greater and/or for coverage additional to the coverage and amounts set forth above.
16.4 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION
|
(a) |
Landlord agrees that, if obtainable at no, or minimal, additional cost, and so long as the same is permitted under the laws of the State of California, it will include in its “All Risks” policies appropriate clauses pursuant to which the insurance companies (i) waive all right of subrogation against Tenant with respect to losses payable under such policies and/or (ii) agree that such policies shall not be invalidated should the insured waive in writing prior to a loss any or all right of recovery against any party for losses covered by such policies. |

If Tenant is unable to obtain in such policy or policies either of the clauses described in the preceding sentence, Tenant shall, if legally possible and without necessitating a change in insurance carriers, have Landlord named in such policy or policies as an additional insured. If Landlord shall be named as an additional insured in accordance with the foregoing, Landlord agrees to endorse promptly to the order of Tenant, without recourse, any check, draft, or order for the payment of money representing the proceeds of any such policy or representing any other payment growing out of or connected with said policies, and Landlord does hereby irrevocably waive any and all rights in and to such proceeds and payments. |

|
damage may result from the negligence or fault of Landlord, its servants, agents or employees, or such other tenant and the servants, agents or employees thereof. |
|
(d) |

If any such damage, whether to the Premises or the Property or any part of either, or whether to Landlord or to other tenants in the Property, results from any act or negligence of Tenant, its employees, servants, agents, contractors, invitees or customers, Tenant shall be liable therefor and Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, repair such damage and Tenant shall, upon demand by Landlord, as payment of additional Rent hereunder, reimburse Landlord within thirty (30) days of demand for the total cost of such repairs, in excess of amounts, if any, paid to Landlord under insurance covering such damages. Tenant shall not be liable for any such damage caused by its acts or negligence if Landlord or a tenant has recovered the full amount of the damage from proceeds of insurance policies and the insurance company has waived its right of subrogation against Tenant.

Tenant, from the conduct of Tenant’s business on the Premises, or from any breach or default on the part of Tenant in the performance of any covenant or agreement on the part of Tenant to be performed pursuant to the terms of this Lease, or from any willful act or negligence of Tenant, its agents, contractors, servants, employees, customers or invitees, in or about the Premises or the Property or any part of either. In case of any action or proceeding brought against the Indemnitees by reason of any such claim, upon notice from Landlord, Tenant covenants to defend such action or proceeding by counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Landlord reserves the right to settle, compromise or dispose of any and all actions, claims and demands related to the foregoing indemnity. The foregoing indemnity shall not operate to relieve Indemnitees of liability to the extent such liability is caused by the willful and wrongful act of Indemnitees. Further, the foregoing indemnity is subject to and shall not diminish any waivers in effect in accordance with Section 16.4 by Landlord or its insurers to the extent of amounts, if any, paid to Landlord under its “All-Risks” property insurance. This Article 17 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
17.3 INDEMNITY BY LANDLORD

MORTGAGEE PROTECTION

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 this 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
65
terminated, upon request of the Mortgagee or ground lessor, as the case may be, Tenant shall, provided that such Mortgagee or ground lessor agrees not to disturb Tenant’s rights under this Lease if Tenant is not in Default hereunder, 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; (iii) bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease made without the written consent of the Mortgagee or ground lessor, or (iv) liable for any security deposits not actually received in cash by such purchaser or ground lessor.

Tenant hereby constitutes Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute such certificate or instrument for and on behalf of Tenant upon Tenant’s failure to do so within fifteen (15) days of a request to do so. Upon request by such successor in interest, Tenant shall execute and deliver reasonable instruments confirming the attornment provided for herein. The terms of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this Lease by reason of foreclosure.
During the thirty (30) day period following the Date of this Lease, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (a “SNDA”) from the current Mortgagee in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord be in default of this Lease if, despite Landlord’s exercise of commercially reasonable efforts, Landlord is unable to obtain a SNDA for Tenant from any such Mortgagee. Additionally, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant’s obligation to subordinate this Lease to any future ground lease or mortgage as provided above is conditioned upon Landlord providing a SNDA from such future Mortgagee on the standard form provided by such Mortgagee (with such commercially reasonable modifications as may be requested by Tenant and approved by such Mortgagee).
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 Landlord by Tenant, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has received written 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 if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then the Mortgagee or ground lessor shall have an additional thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof within which to cure such default or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional notice time as may be necessary, if, within such thirty (30) days, any Mortgagee or ground lessor has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including the commencement of foreclosure proceedings or other proceedings to acquire possession of the Real Property, if necessary to effect such cure). 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. Until the time allowed as aforesaid for Mortgagee or ground lessor to cure such defaults has expired without cure, Tenant shall have no
66
right to, and shall not, terminate this Lease on account of default. This Lease may not be modified or amended so as to reduce the Rent or shorten the Term, or so as to adversely affect in any other respect to any material extent the rights of Landlord, nor shall this Lease be canceled or surrendered, without the prior written consent, in each instance, of the ground lessor or the Mortgagee. Landlord agrees to diligently use reasonable efforts to obtain such Mortgagee consents as may be required and shall promptly inform Tenant in writing upon obtaining such consents.

MISCELLANEOUS
26.1 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 ten (10) days after Landlord’s demand therefor if not otherwise set forth in this Lease. 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 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. |

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for consequential, punitive or special damages with respect to this Lease.
70
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.

|
2.2 |

Upon any disapproval by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly cause the Space Plan to be revised to correct any deficiencies or other matters Landlord may reasonably require and deliver such revised Space Plan to Landlord. Landlord’s failure to respond within five (5) business days thereafter, if such failure continues following a second, three (3) business day notice, shall be deemed approval by Landlord. |
|

|
2.5 |
Changes to the Working Drawings. Any changes to the Approved Working Drawings (each, a “Change”) shall be requested and instituted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.5 and shall be subject to the written approval of the non-requesting party in accordance with this Workletter. |
(a)Either Landlord or Tenant may request Changes after Landlord approves the Working Drawings by notifying the other party thereof in writing in substantially the same form as the AIA standard change order form (a “Change Request”), which Change Request shall detail the nature and extent of any requested Changes, including (i) the Change, and (ii) any modification of the Approved Working Drawings, as applicable, necessitated by the Change. If the nature of a Change requires revisions to the Approved Working Drawings, then Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost and expense of such revisions and any increases in the cost of the Tenant Improvements as a result of such Change. Change Requests shall be signed by the requesting party’s representative. Landlord shall only request a Change if it reasonably believes that such Change is necessary to comply with applicable Laws, to prevent a material adverse impact on the Building’s systems or to address a material Building structural issue.
(b)All Change Requests shall be subject to the other party’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The non-requesting party shall have three (3) business days after receipt of a Change Request to notify the requesting party in writing of the non-requesting party’s decision either to approve or object to the Change Request. The non-requesting party’s failure to respond within such three (3) business day period shall be deemed approval by the non-requesting party.
