(18) TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE:
(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall provide Tenant a tenant improvement allowance to be utilized to pay for Tenant Improvement Allowance Items (as such are defined in the Workletter attached to this Lease), in the amount of up to $1,360,981.00 (i.e., $1,100,000.00, plus $260,981.00 in recognition of the fact that Tenant is not represented by a broker in connection with this Lease) (the Tenant Improvement Allowance). Provided that Tenant is not in Default (beyond all applicable notice and cure periods) under this Lease, the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be drawn down pursuant to the terms of the Workletter. In the event Tenant elects Tenants Contraction Right as such is set forth in Section 2.1(c) hereof, the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be reduced proportionately to reflect the reduction in the Premises Rentable Area. Until such time as either: (i) Tenant has waived, in writing, Tenants Contraction Right, or (ii) the deadline for Tenant to give Tenants Contraction Notice has passed without Tenant having provided such notice to Landlord, the maximum amount of Tenant Improvement Allowance to which Tenant shall be entitled is fifty percent (50%) of the above amount, namely $680,490.50.
(b) If the Required Extension Term applies to extend Initial Term as specified in Section 2.2(c) below, Landlord shall provide Tenant an additional allowance to be utilized to pay for Alterations pursuant to Article 9 of this Lease in the amount of up to $65,229.00 (the Required Extension Term Allowance). Provided that Tenant is not in Default (beyond all applicable notice and cure periods) under this Lease, Tenant may apply the Required Extension Term Allowance to the cost of such Alterations, in accordance with the terms of Article 9.
(c) In addition to the Tenant Improvement Allowance and the Required Extension Term Allowance (if any), Tenant may elect, by written notice to Landlord delivered not later than the end of the 12th month after the Commencement Date, to obtain an additional tenant improvement allowance from Landlord in an amount up to $250,000.00 (the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance), to be used solely for the purpose of installing additional cooling capacity to serve the BSL-1/BSL-2 Labs (if any) (the BSL-1/BSL-2 Lab Cooling Improvements). Provided that Tenant is not in Default (beyond all applicable notice and cure
4
periods) under this Lease, the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance may be utilized, pursuant to the terms of the Workletter, to pay for the cost of the BSL-1/BSL-2 Lab Cooling Improvements (the BSL-1/BSL-2 Lab Cooling Improvement Costs).
(d) Any amounts of the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance requested by Tenant and funded by Landlord shall repaid by Tenant to Landlord by amortizing those amounts (the Amortized Tenant Improvement Allowance) over a period that commences upon the funding thereof to Tenant and ending on the date that is ten (10) years after the expiration of the five-year Initial Term as set forth in Section 1.1(5) (the Amortization Period), at an annual interest rate of eight percent (8%), and shall be paid by Tenant on a monthly basis during the Initial Term (as extended by the Required Extension Term, if applicable) by increasing the Monthly Base Rent amount otherwise payable under this Lease, which payments shall commence on the first (1st) day of the month following the month in which a disbursement of the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance is funded by Landlord (the Amortized Tenant Improvement Allowance Payments). Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Section 1.1(18), the unamortized portion of the Amortized Tenant Improvement Allowance that would have been amortized over the then-remaining portion of the Amortization Period shall become immediately due and payable to Landlord by Tenant upon the occurrence of a Default by Tenant (i.e., a default or breach that remains uncured following any applicable notice and/or cure period).

PREMISES, TERM, FAILURE TO GIVE POSSESSION, AND PARKING
2.1 | LEASE OF PREMISES |
(a) Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the Premises for the Term and upon the terms, covenants and conditions provided in this Lease. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Rentable Area set forth in this Lease has been conclusively determined and is deemed final for the purposes of this Lease and that prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant had the right to cause its Architect (as defined below) to verify and confirm the Rentable Area of the Premises and/or the Building.
(b) Temporary Space. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant currently occupies space in the Building consisting of approximately 3,358 square feet of Rentable Area located on ground floor of the Building and known as Suite 100 (the Temporary Space), pursuant to the terms of that certain Office Lease dated February 14, 2020 (as amended, the Temporary Space Lease). Landlord and Tenant agree that the term for the Temporary Space shall expire as of the day before the Commencement Date of this Lease (the Temporary Space Expiration Date), which date shall be confirmed pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2(b) below, and that Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a separate amendment to the Temporary Space Lease to reflect the revised Temporary Space Expiration Date.
(c) Contraction Right.
(1) Tenant shall have the one-time right to elect to reduce the size of the Premises (Tenants Contraction Right). Tenant must notify Landlord, in writing, of Tenants election to reduce the size of the Premises no later than nine (9) months following the Commencement Date (Tenants Contraction Notice) subject to Force Majeure delays during the first seven (7) months following the Commencement Date. In Tenants Contraction Notice, Tenant shall identify the approximate amount of Rentable Area of the original Premises that Tenant wishes
11
to relinquish, but in no event shall said portion of the Premises constitute greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Rentable Area of the original Premises as of the Commencement Date. The specific size and demising of the portion of space to be relinquished by Tenant shall be acceptable to Landlord in Landlords commercially-reasonable discretion in good faith cooperation with Tenant, it being reasonable for Landlord to consider, among other things, the layout of the multi-tenant corridor necessary to connect the two Building exit stairs, and the lease-ability of the portion of space being relinquished as an independent suite to third-party tenants. The portion of the original Premises to be so deleted from the Premises shall be referred to as the Contraction Space. Upon final determination of the Contraction Space pursuant to the above, Landlord shall promptly design and construct the necessary demising wall(s) and common area corridor pursuant to designs prepared by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant (the Contraction Construction Work). Tenant shall reimburse Landlord (as additional Rent under this Lease) for a portion of the cost of the Contraction Construction Work, which portion shall be equal to such cost, multiplied by the ratio of the Rentable Area of the Premises following deletion of the Contraction Space to the Rentable Area of the original Premises (the Contraction Construction Cost Reimbursement). To the extent any of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (as reduced pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(2) below) remains as of the date Landlord has determined the Contraction Construction Cost Reimbursement, Tenant may apply any unused portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance towards the Contraction Construction Cost Reimbursement. Upon the later to occur of: (A) twelve (12) months following the Commencement Date and (B) full completion of Contraction Construction Work, the Contraction Space shall be deleted from the Premises and Monthly Base Rent, Tenants Share and the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be adjusted proportionately to reflect the deduction of the Contraction Space from the Premises, and Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the 5980 Horton Contraction Amendment) documenting same. Tenant shall execute and return the 5980 Contraction Amendment to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after mutual agreement to the terms thereof.
(2) In the event Tenant elects Tenants Contraction Right, the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be reduced proportionately (by an amount equal to the ratio of the Rentable Area of the Premises following deletion of the Contraction Space to the Rentable Area of the original Premises) to reflect the reduction in rentable square footage of the Premises.
(3) In the event Tenant has elected Tenants Contraction Right, the range of amount of Required Expansion Space shall be fifty percent (50%) of the range applicable if Tenant has not elected Tenants Contraction Right, meaning that, in the event Tenant has elected Tenants Contraction Right, the text of Section 2.1(d)(1)(i) shall be deleted and replaced with: not less than 10,000 and not more than 17,500 rentable square feet,.
(d) Required Expansion Space.
(1) Assuming that Landlord or the Adjacent Building Landlord (as defined below), separately or together, elect (which election shall be in their sole and absolute discretion) to make available to Tenant space with the following characteristics: (i) not less than 20,000 and not more than 35,000 rentable square feet, (ii) comprised of no more than two (2) separate suites, (iii) located within either the Building or the building owned by Landlords affiliate (the Adjacent Building Landlord) at 5858 Horton Street (the Adjacent Building), or both, (iv) contiguous with (i.e., either adjacent to, above or below) the Premises or Tenants premises in the Adjacent
12
Building, and (v) available for Tenants occupancy not earlier than April 1, 2024, nor later than November 30, 2025 (the Required Expansion Space), then if or to the extent that the Required Expansion Space is located within the Building, and subject to Tenants election pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(2) below, Tenant hereby leases from Landlord and Landlord leases to Tenant such portion of the Required Expansion Space (the 5980 Horton Required Expansion Space). Tenant also shall lease from the Adjacent Building Landlord, subject to Tenants election pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(2) below, such portion of the Required Expansion Space that is located in the Adjacent Building (the 5858 Horton Required Expansion Space), upon the terms and conditions specified by the Adjacent Building Landlord. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant currently leases approximately 1,198 rentable square feet of space on the first floor of the Adjacent Building pursuant to that certain lease dated November 3, 2014, by and between Tenant, as tenant, and the Adjacent Building Landlord, as landlord (as amended, the 5858 Horton Lease).

If Tenant fails to deliver the Expansion Notice within the foregoing timeframe, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected not to lease the 5980 Horton Required Expansion Space and the 5858 Required Expansion Space. If Tenant elects to lease the 5980 Horton Required Expansion Space, the 5980 Horton Required Expansion Space shall be considered Premises subject to all the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that no allowances, credits, abatements or other concessions (if any) set forth in this Lease for the existing Premises or any other expansions shall apply to the 5980 Horton Required Expansion Space. The 5980 Horton Required Expansion Space shall be considered part of the Premises for all purposes under this Lease, and Tenant occupancy of the 5980 Horton Required Expansion Space shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Lease (including, but not limited to the indemnity and insurance provisions under Articles 16 and 17 of this Lease) except:

Tenant shall be entitled to receive a market-level tenant improvement allowance, if any (and the Fair Market Rent shall be adjusted accordingly), but shall not be entitled to receive any improvements, allowances, abatement or other financial concession granted with respect to the Premises for the 5980 Horton Required Expansion Space. The amount of any such allowances, abatement or other financial concession as may be applicable to the 5980 Horton Required Expansion Space shall be determined as part of the determination of the Fair Market Rent for the 5980 Horton Required Expansion Space.
(iv) Parking. As of the 5980 Horton Required Expansion Space Commencement Date, Tenant shall be entitled to the number of parking spaces specified in Section 1.1.
(v) Lease Amendment.

Tenant shall execute and return the 5980 Horton Required Expansion Space Amendment to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof, but Tenants lease of the 5980 Horton Required Expansion Space shall be fully effective whether or not the 5980 Horton Required Expansion Space Amendment is prepared and/or executed.
(3) Landlord shall make commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Adjacent Building Landlord to lease the 5858 Horton Required Expansion Space to Tenant on substantially the terms set forth in Section 2.1(c)(2) above; provided, however, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, in no event shall Landlord be liable for (i) any failure to timely provide an Availability Notice to Tenant, (ii) any failure of the Adjacent Building Landlord to timely provide an Availability Notice to Tenant, or (iii) the Adjacent Building Landlords failure to offer the 5858 Horton Required Expansion Space on substantially the terms set forth in Section 2.1(c)(2) above.

2.2 | TERM |
(a) Commencement Date. The Commencement Date shall be (i) the date on which Landlord has delivered possession of the Premises to Tenant in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease; or (ii) any earlier date upon which Tenant, with Landlords written permission, takes possession of any portion of the Premises to commence construction of the Tenant Work.
(b) Commencement Date Agreement. Within thirty (30) days following the occurrence of the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an agreement (the form of which is attached hereto as Rider 1) confirming the Commencement Date, the Temporary Space Expiration Date and the Expiration Date (the Commencement Date Agreement). If Tenant fails to enter into the Commencement Date Agreement, then the Commencement Date, the Temporary Space Expiration Date and the Expiration Date shall be the dates designated by Landlord in such agreement.
(c) Required Extension Term. If Landlord elects (which election shall be in Landlords sole and absolute discretion) to offer for lease the Required Expansion Space pursuant to Section 2.1(c) above (regardless of whether any portion of such Required Expansion Space is located within the Building), the Term of this Lease automatically shall be extended by thirty (30) months (the Required Extension Term), and the Initial Term shall mean the Initial Term specified in Section 1.1, as extended by the Required Extension Term. If Landlord does elect to offer for lease the Required Expansion space, the Required Extension Term applies even if Tenant does not elect to lease the Required Expansion Space offered by Landlord.
(d) Options to Extend. Provided that (i) Tenant has not sublet any portion of the Premises without Landlords consent in violation of this Lease, (ii) the Premises have been expanded pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1(d) above, and (iii) at the time of exercise and at all times prior to the commencement of the Extended Term (as defined below), Tenant shall not be in Default under this Lease, the Term of this Lease shall be subject to two (2) extension options, each for an additional period of sixty (60) months (each, an Extension Option and collectively, the Extension Options), commencing as of the expiration of the then-current Term, and expiring on the date that is sixty (60) full calendar months thereafter (each, an Extended Term), exercisable as follows:
(1) The Extension Options shall be upon the same material terms and conditions contained in this Lease, except that (i) the initial Monthly Base Rent for the Premises shall be equal to the greater of (A) the Fair Market Rent (as defined in Section 2.2(d)(2) below) for the Premises as of the first month of the Extension Option determined in the manner set forth in Section 2.2(d)(3) below, or (B) the Monthly Base Rent in effect as of the expiration of the then- current Term; and (ii) Tenant shall accept the Premises in an as is condition without any obligation of Landlord to repaint, remodel, repair, improve or alter the Premises unless required by the terms and conditions of this Lease, including without limitation any maintenance and repair obligations of Landlord under this Lease.
15
(2) Tenants election to exercise an Extension Option must be given to Landlord in writing no less than 270 days and no more than 365 days prior to the expiration of the then-current Term (the Extension Notice). Within thirty (30) days of Landlords receipt of the Extension Notice, Landlord shall send Tenant written notice of Landlords determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Premises (the Fair Market Rent Notice). For purposes of this Section, the term Fair Market Rent shall mean the base rental rate, periodic rental rate adjustment and other charges and increases, if any, for space comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises under a primary lease (and not sublease) to new or renewing tenants, for a comparable term with a tenant improvement allowance, if applicable and taking into consideration such amenities as existing improvements, view, floor on which the Premises are situated and the like, situated in comparable buildings in Emeryville, California. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Extension Option shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect, whether or not Tenant has timely exercised the applicable Extension Option, if a Default exists at the time of exercise of the applicable Extension Option or at the time of commencement of the applicable Extended Term.
(3) If Tenant properly exercises an Extension Option, the Monthly Base Rent during the Extended Term shall be determined in the following manner. The Monthly Base Rent as of the commencement of the Extended Term shall be adjusted to an amount equal to the Fair Market Rent for the Premises as specified in the Fair Market Rent Notice, subject to Tenants right of arbitration as set forth below. If Tenant believes that the Fair Market Rent specified in the Fair Market Rent Notice exceeds the actual Fair Market Rent for the Premises as of the date of such notice, then Tenant shall so notify Landlord within fifteen (15) days of Tenants receipt of the Fair Market Rent Notice. If Tenant fails to so notify Landlord within such 15-day period, Landlords determination of the Fair Market Rent shall be final and binding upon the parties. If the parties are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Rent within ten (10) days after Landlords receipt of Tenants objection to the Fair Market Rent Notice, the amount of Monthly Base Rent as of the commencement of the Extended Term shall be determined as follows:
(i) Within 20 days after the 10-day period has expired and the parties have failed to agree on the Fair Market Rent, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall obtain and deliver in writing to Landlord a determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Premises for a term equal to the Extended Term from a broker (Tenants Broker) licensed in the State of California and engaged in the office brokerage business in Emeryville, California, for at least the immediately preceding five (5) years. If Landlord accepts such determination, the Monthly Base Rent for the Extended Term shall be adjusted to an amount equal to the amount determined by Tenants Broker.
(ii) If Landlord does not accept such determination, within 15 days after receipt of the determination of Tenants Broker, Landlord shall designate a broker (Landlords Broker) licensed in the State of California and engaged in the office brokerage business in Emeryville, California, for at least the immediately preceding five (5) years. Landlords Broker and Tenants Broker shall name a third broker, similarly qualified, within five (5) days after appointment of Landlords Broker. Landlords Broker and Tenants Broker shall each determine the Fair Market Rent for the Premises as of the commencement of the Extended Term for a term equal to the Extended Term within 15 days after the appointment of the third broker. The Monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant effective as of the commencement of the Extended Term shall be adjusted to an amount equal to the determination of Fair Market Rent made by either Landlords Broker or Tenants Broker that the third broker finds to be closer to the Fair Market Rent.
16
(iii) Landlord shall pay the costs and fees of Landlords Broker in connection with any determination hereunder, and Tenant shall pay the costs and fees of Tenants Broker in connection with such determination. The costs and fees of any third broker shall be paid one-half by Landlord and one-half by Tenant.
(4) If the amount of the Fair Market Rent is not known as of the commencement of the Extended Term, then Tenant shall continue to pay the Monthly Base Rent for the Premises in effect at the expiration of the then-current Term until the amount of the Fair Market Rent is determined. When such determination is made, Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord upon demand. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 2.2(d) to the contrary, in no event shall the Monthly Base Rent for the Premises payable during any Extended Term be less than such Monthly Base Rent in effect prior to the commencement of such Extended Term.
(5) In connection with the extension of the Term pursuant to Tenants exercise of any Extension Option, the parties acknowledge and agree that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be responsible for the payment to any real estate broker, salesperson or finder claiming to have represented Tenant or Landlord of any commission, finders fee or other compensation in connection with or as a consequence of Tenants exercise of any Extension Option.
(6) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenants rights under this Section 2.2(d) are personal to the original Tenant executing this Lease and any Permitted Transferee to whom this Lease is assigned pursuant to Section 10.1(e) below (Named Tenant) and shall not be assigned or assignable, in whole or in part, to any third party. Any other assignment or other transfer of such rights by Named Tenant shall be void and of no force or effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no sublessee of the Premises shall be permitted to exercise the rights granted to Tenant under this Section 2.2(d).
2.3 | FAILURE TO DELIVER POSSESSION |
If the Premises are not delivered to Tenant by the Projected Commencement Date for any reason, Landlord shall not be liable for any claims, damages or liabilities by reason thereof, nor shall such delivery delay affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder; provided, however, if Landlord is unable to so deliver the Premises within sixty (60) days of the Projected Commencement Date (the Outside Delivery Date), then Tenant may, at its option, by notice in writing (the Termination Notice) delivered to Landlord within five (5) days after the Outside Delivery Date, cancel this Lease, in which event Landlord and Tenant shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder, Landlord shall return to Tenant any prepaid rent, and both parties shall be released from all obligations under this Lease (excepting only those obligations, such as indemnification and defense obligations, which are expressly intended to survive the termination of this Lease). If the Termination Notice is not received by Landlord within said five (5) day period, Tenants right to cancel as to such period shall terminate. The remedy set forth above shall be Tenants sole remedy in the event of a delay in delivering possession of the Premises to Tenant. In no event shall Landlord be liable for special or consequential damages as a result of any such delay.
17
2.4 CONDITION OF PREMISES
Tenant shall be conclusively deemed to have accepted the Premises AS IS in the condition existing on the Commencement Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease (including without limitation any repair and maintenance obligations of Landlord); provided, however, that Landlord represents that, to Landlords knowledge after due inquiry and investigation, the systems serving the Premises, the Building and the Project shall be in good order and repair as of the Commencement Date. The foregoing notwithstanding, Landlord shall not be deemed to have breached the obligations set forth in this Section 2.4 unless and until Landlord has failed to perform the required work within a reasonable period following written notice of the required work from Tenant. Should Tenant determine that there is any noncompliance with the foregoing representation and provide Landlord with a written notice thereof, Landlord shall promptly after receipt of written notice from Tenant setting forth with specificity the nature and extent of such noncompliance, rectify the same at Landlords expense, and using commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to the performance of the Tenant Work in the Premises; such noncompliance shall not, however, entitle Tenant to an abatement of rent or to terminate this Lease, or otherwise release Tenant from any of Tenants obligations under this Lease.
2.5 PARKING
During the Term, Tenant may use up to the number of spaces specified in Section 1.1 for parking at the standard prevailing monthly rates being charged from time to time by Landlord or its parking operator. In the event Tenant fails at any time to pay the full amount of such parking charges after thirty (30) days notice to Tenant, Tenants parking rights shall be reduced to the extent of Tenants failure to pay for any such parking. The locations and type of parking (including, without limitation, valet parking, if any) shall be reasonably designated by Landlord or Landlords parking operator from time to time but at all times in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the parking spaces serving the Project may include tandem or valet parking and a mixture of spaces for compact vehicles as well as full-size passenger automobiles, and that Tenant shall not use parking spaces for vehicles larger than the striped size of the parking spaces. All vehicles utilizing Tenants parking spaces shall prominently display identification stickers or other markers, and/or have passes or keycards for ingress and egress, as may be required and provided by Landlord or its parking operator from time to time. Tenant shall comply with any and all parking rules and regulations from time to time established by Landlord or Landlords parking operator, including a requirement that Tenant pay to Landlord or Landlords parking operator a charge for loss and replacement of passes, keycards, identification stickers or markers, and for any and all loss or other damage caused by persons or vehicles related to use of Tenants parking spaces. Tenant shall not allow any vehicles using Tenants parking spaces to be parked, loaded or unloaded except in accordance with this Section, including in the areas and in the manner designated by Landlord or its parking operator for such activities. If any vehicle is using the parking or loading areas contrary to any provision of this Section, Landlord or its parking operator shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease, to remove or tow away the vehicle without prior notice to Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord within ten (10) business days after notice from Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay for any parking spaces until Tenant advises Landlord it intends to commence use of said parking spaces.
18
ARTICLE 3
RENT
From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord at the address specified in Section 1.1, or to such other persons, or at such other places designated by Landlord, without any prior demand therefor in immediately available funds and without any deduction or offset whatsoever, Rent, including Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments in accordance with Article 4, during the Term. Monthly Base Rent shall be paid monthly in advance on or prior to 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 Tenants execution of this Lease. Monthly Base Rent shall be prorated for partial months within the Term. Tenants covenant to pay Rent shall be independent of every other covenant in this Lease except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease.
ARTICLE 4
RENT ADJUSTMENTS AND PAYMENTS
4.1 RENT ADJUSTMENTS
(a) From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Rent Adjustments with respect to each calendar year (or partial calendar year in the case of the year in which the Commencement Date and the Termination Date occur) as follows:
(1) The Rent Adjustment Deposit representing Tenants Share of Operating Expenses for the applicable calendar year (or partial calendar year), monthly during the Term with the payment of Monthly Base Rent;
(2) The Rent Adjustment Deposit representing Tenants Share of Taxes for the applicable calendar year (or partial calendar year), monthly during the Term with the payment of Monthly Base Rent; and
(3) Any Rent Adjustments due in excess of the Rent Adjustment Deposits in accordance with Section 4.2. Rent Adjustments due from Tenant to Landlord for any calendar year (or partial calendar year) shall be Tenants Share of Operating Expenses for such calendar year (or partial calendar year) and Tenants Share of Taxes for such calendar year (or partial calendar year).
(b) On or before the beginning of each calendar year or with Landlords Statement (as defined in Section 4.2 below), Landlord may estimate and notify Tenant in writing of its estimate of the amount of Operating Expenses and Taxes payable by Tenant for such calendar year. Prior to the first determination by Landlord of the amount of Operating Expenses and Taxes for the first calendar year, Landlord may estimate such amounts in the foregoing calculation. Landlord shall have the right from time to time during any calendar year to provide a new or revised estimate of Operating Expenses and/or Taxes and to notify Tenant in writing thereof, of corresponding adjustments in Tenants Rent Adjustment Deposit payable over the remainder of such year, and of
19
the amount or revised amount due allocable to months preceding such change. The last estimate by Landlord shall remain in effect as the applicable Rent Adjustment Deposit unless and until Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of a change, which notice may be given by Landlord from time to time during any calendar year throughout the Term.
(c) 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. In the event any other tenant in the Building provides itself with a service of a type which Landlord would supply under this Lease without an additional or separate charge to Tenant, then Operating Expenses shall be deemed to include the cost Landlord would have incurred had Landlord provided such service to such other tenant. In addition, Landlord shall have the right, at its sole discretion, from time to time, to equitably allocate certain Operating Expenses among only certain tenants of the Project as to any expense or cost that relates to a repair, replacement or service that benefits only those tenants, and the Rent Adjustments shall reflect any such allocations.
4.2 STATEMENT OF LANDLORD
As soon as practical after the expiration of each calendar year, Landlord will furnish Tenant with a statement respecting the prior calendar year (Landlords Statement) 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
(c) Any change in the Rent Adjustment Deposit due monthly in the current calendar year, including the amount or revised amount due for months preceding any such change pursuant to Landlords Statement.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of such statement any amounts for Rent Adjustments then due in accordance with Landlords Statement. Any amounts due from Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Section shall be credited to the Rent Adjustment Deposit next coming due, or refunded to Tenant if the Term has already expired, provided that Tenant is not in monetary Default under this Lease. 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. Landlords failure to deliver Landlords 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 Tenants obligations to pay such amounts. The Rent Adjustment Deposit shall be credited against Rent Adjustments due for the applicable calendar year (or partial calendar year). During the last complete calendar year or during any partial calendar year in which this Lease terminates, Landlord may include in the Rent Adjustment Deposit its estimate of Rent Adjustments which might not be finally determined until after the termination of this Lease. Tenants obligation to pay Rent Adjustments, and Landlords obligation to refund any overpayments of Rent Adjustments, survives the expiration or termination of this Lease.
20
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 who shall not be paid on a contingency basis) shall have the right, for a period of sixty (60) days following the date upon which Landlords Statement is delivered to Tenant, to examine Landlords 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 five (5) business days in advance. Tenant shall pay for all costs of such examination; provided, however, if the examination reveals an overcharge of five percent (5%) or more, then Landlord shall pay for all reasonable and actual third-party costs of such examination, up to a maximum amount of $10,000.00. If Tenant performs such examination, but does not object in writing to Landlords Statement within ninety (90) days after Tenants receipt thereof, specifying the nature of the item in dispute and the reasons therefor, then Landlords Statement shall be considered final and accepted by Tenant and Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to dispute Landlords Statement. If Tenant does dispute any Landlords Statement, Tenant shall 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 Landlords Statement. Any amount due to Landlord as shown on Landlords 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 Landlords records or to dispute any statement of Operating Expenses and Taxes unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent when due. Upon resolution of any dispute with respect to Operating Expenses and Taxes, Tenant shall either pay Landlord any shortfall or Landlord shall credit Tenant with respect to any overages paid by Tenant.

SECURITY
(a) Simultaneously with Tenants execution and delivery of this Lease to Landlord, Tenant shall pay Landlord in immediately available funds the cash amount of the Security Deposit for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of each and every term, provision, covenant, and condition of this Lease. If Tenant fails timely to perform any of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease or any other document executed by Tenant in connection with this Lease, then Landlord may use, apply, or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent not paid when due, for the cost of repairing any damage, for the payment of any other sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenants failure to perform, and otherwise for compensation of Landlord for any other loss or damage to Landlord occasioned by Tenants failure to perform, including, but not limited to, any loss of future Rent and any damage or deficiency in the reletting of the Premises (whether such loss, damages or deficiency accrue before or after summary proceedings or other reentry by Landlord) and the amount of the unpaid past Rent, future Rent loss, and all other losses, costs and damages, that Landlord would be entitled to recover if Landlord were to pursue recovery under Section 11.2(b) or (c) of this Lease or California Civil Code Section 1951.2 or 1951.4 (and any supplements, amendments, replacements and substitutions thereof and therefor from time to time). If Landlord so uses, applies or retains all or part of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall within five (5) business days after demand pay or deliver to Landlord in immediately available funds the sum necessary to replace the amount used, applied or retained. If Tenant has fully and faithfully performed and observed all of Tenants obligations under the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease, the Security Deposit (except any amount retained for application by Landlord as provided herein) shall be returned to Tenant with thirty (30) days after the latest of: (i) the Expiration Date; (ii) the removal of Tenant from the Premises; or (iii) the surrender of the Premises by Tenant to Landlord in accordance with this Lease, or such longer time as may be permissible under Law; provided, however, in no event shall any such return be construed as an admission by Landlord that Tenant has performed all of its obligations hereunder.
(b) The Security Deposit shall not be deemed an advance rent deposit or an advance payment of any kind, or a measure of Landlords damages with respect to Tenants failure to perform, nor shall any action or inaction of Landlord with respect to it or its use or application be a waiver of, or bar or defense to, enforcement of any right or remedy of Landlord. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds and shall not have any fiduciary duties or other duties (except as set forth in this Section) concerning the Security Deposit. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. In the event of any sale, lease or transfer of Landlords interest in the Building, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Security Deposit, or balance thereof, to the transferee and any such transfer shall release Landlord from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit. Tenant thereafter shall look solely to such transferee for the return or payment of the Security Deposit. Tenant shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the Security Deposit or any interest in it and Landlord shall not be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance,
22
and regardless of one or more assignments of this Lease, Landlord may return the Security Deposit to the original Tenant without liability to any assignee. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights of Tenant under the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, and any and all rights of Tenant under all provisions of Law, now or hereafter enacted, regarding security deposits.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as Tenant is not then in Default under this Lease, and Tenant has provided written documentation that it has secured additional funding for its business in an amount of not less than Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000), Tenant may cause the amount of the Security Deposit to be reduced to the Reduced Security Deposit.

23
(c) So long as this Lease is in full force and effect and Tenant has paid all Rent then due, Landlord shall furnish to the Premises replacement lamps, bulbs, ballasts and starters used in any normal Building lighting installed in the Premises, except that if the replacement or repair of such items is a result of gross negligence of Tenant, its employees, servants, licensees, subtenants, or contractors, 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.
(d) If Tenant uses heat generating machines or equipment in the Premises to an extent which adversely affects the temperature otherwise maintained by the air-cooling system or whenever the occupancy or electrical load adversely affects the temperature otherwise maintained by the air-cooling system based upon all other tenants of the building using reasonable loads and load demands, Landlord reserves the right to install or to require Tenant to install supplementary air-conditioning units in the Premises, but to the extent that any other tenant benefits from such installation, the cost to Tenant shall be reduced accordingly.

Tenants 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.
24
6.3 ADDITIONAL AND AFTER HOUR SERVICES
At Tenants 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 Landlords prevailing rates charged from time to time for such services and utilities, as additional Rent under this Lease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for HVAC service outside of Standard Operating Hours, Landlords prevailing rate as of the date of this Lease includes a one (1) hour minimum per activation.

Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay, as additional Rent under this Lease, all costs incurred in connection with the installation of Cables in the Premises, including any hook-up, access and maintenance fees related to the installation of such Cables in the Premises and the commencement of service therein, and the maintenance thereafter of such 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 Cables 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 Cables in the Premises and such failure affects or interferes with the operation or maintenance of any other Cables serving the Building, Landlord or any vendor hired by Landlord may (if Tenant does not commence to cure such failure within fifteen (15) days notice to Tenant) enter into and upon the Premises forthwith and perform such repairs, restorations or alterations as Landlord deems necessary in order to eliminate any such interference (and Landlord may recover from Tenant all of Landlords reasonable out-of-pocket costs in connection therewith). If required by Landlord, no later than the Termination Date Tenant shall remove, at Tenants cost, all Cables installed by Tenant for and during Tenants occupancy and surrender the installation in a condition previously approved by Landlord. Tenant agrees that neither Landlord nor any of its agents or employees shall be liable to Tenant, or any of Tenants 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.
25
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 Tenants use and possession of the Premises, or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or from performing any other obligations of Tenant under this Lease, without any deduction or offset. Failure to any extent to make available, or any slowdown, stoppage, or interruption of, the specified utility services resulting from any cause, including changes in service provider or Landlords 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 Tenants obligations for fulfillment of any covenant or agreement hereof. Should any equipment or machinery furnished by Landlord break down or for any cause cease to function properly, Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to repair same promptly, but Tenant shall have no claim for abatement of Rent or damages on account of any interruption of service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom. Tenant hereby waives any benefits of any applicable existing or future Law, including the provisions of California Civil Code section 1932(1), permitting the termination of this Lease due to such interruption, failure or inability.

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

Tenant has the right to update and modify its signage from time to time in accordance with Tenants standard corporate signage and/or logo
26
and Landlords consent shall not be required in the event of a change in the name, logo or color of such signage consistent with its corporate standard (provided that the size, location and quantity of existing signage is not altered).

43
(v) the proposed sublessee or assignee is a current occupant of the Project or 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 Tenants 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
(vi) 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
(vii) Tenant is in Default under this Lease
(c) Any sublease or assignment shall be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Any subtenant or assignee shall execute such documents as Landlord may reasonably require to evidence such subtenant or assignees 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. Landlords approval of a sublease, assignment, hypothecation, transfer or third party use or occupancy shall not constitute a waiver of Tenants obligation to obtain Landlords consent to further assignments or subleases, hypothecations, transfers or third party use or occupancy.
(d) For purposes of this Article 10, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice of any 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.
(e) For purposes of this Lease, a Permitted Transferee shall mean any Person which: (i) is an Affiliate; or (ii) is the corporation or other entity (the Successor) resulting from a merger, consolidation or non-bankruptcy reorganization with Tenant; or (iii) is otherwise a deemed assignee due to a change of control under Section 10.1(d) above; or (iv) purchases substantially all the assets or equity interests of Tenant (the Purchaser). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 10.1(a) and (b), 10.2 and 10.3, provided there is no Default under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, without the prior written consent of Landlord, to assign this Lease to a Permitted Transferee or to sublease the Premises or any part thereof to a Permitted Transferee provided that: (1) Landlord receives written notice of such assignment or sublease within thirty (30) days of such assignment or sublease; (2) with respect to an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of more than half the Premises, the Permitted Transferees net worth and liquidity are each not less than the greater of (A) Tenants net worth and liquidity as of the date of this Lease or (B) Tenants net worth and liquidity immediately prior to such assignment or subletting; (3) 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; (4) Landlord receives within five (5) business days of the effective date
44
a fully executed copy of the applicable assignment or sublease agreement between Tenant and the Permitted Transferee; (5) after Landlords 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 (6) such transfer is not being entered into for the purpose of avoiding the requirement for Landlords 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, 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 Landlords 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), Landlord shall have the option to exclude from the Premises covered by this Lease (recapture) the space proposed to be sublet or subject to the assignment, effective as of the proposed commencement date of such sublease or assignment. If Landlord elects to recapture, 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 of the Premises pursuant to this section, the Monthly Base Rent, Rentable Area of the Premises and Tenants Share shall be adjusted accordingly.
10.3 EXCESS RENT
Tenant shall pay Landlord on the first day of each month during the term of the sublease or assignment, as additional Rent under this Lease, fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the sum of all rent and other consideration (direct or indirect) due from the subtenant or assignee for such month exceeds: (i) that portion of the Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments due under this Lease for said month which is allocable to the space sublet or assigned; and (ii) the following costs and expenses for the subletting or assignment of such space: (1) brokerage commissions and attorneys fees and expenses, (2) the actual costs paid in making any improvements or substitutions in the Premises required by any sublease or assignment; and (3) moving costs and other amounts actually paid with respect of such subtenants or assignees other leases or occupancy arrangements, but only to the extent same are typical, reasonable and appropriate under the prevailing market conditions. All such costs and expenses shall be amortized over the term of the sublease or assignment pursuant to sound accounting principles.
45
10.4 TENANT LIABILITY
Excluding any assignment or sublease contemplated in Section 10.1(e), in the event of any sublease or assignment, whether or not with Landlords 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. Tenants 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. After any assignment, Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease, or amendments or modifications of this Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto, and such action shall not relieve Tenant or any successor of Tenant of liability under this Lease. If Landlord grants consent to such sublease or assignment, Tenant shall pay all reasonable attorneys fees and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to such assignment or sublease. 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 (unless such subtenant or assignee is a Permitted Transferee), directly or indirectly without Landlords express written consent, which shall not be unreasonably, conditioned or delayed.
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. Each sublease by Tenant hereunder shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate, and each subtenant by entering into a sublease is deemed to have agreed that in the event of termination, re-entry or dispossession by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, either terminate the sublease or take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublandlord, under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlords option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not be: (1) liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease; (2) subject to any counterclaim, offset or defense that such subtenant might have against Tenant; (3) bound by any previous modification of such sublease or by any rent or additional rent or advance rent which such subtenant might have paid for more than the current month to Tenant, and all such rent shall remain due and owing, notwithstanding such advance payment; (4) bound by any security or advance rental deposit made by such subtenant which is not delivered or paid over to Landlord and with respect to which such subtenant shall look solely to Tenant for refund or reimbursement; or (5) obligated to perform any work in the subleased space or to prepare it for occupancy, and in connection with such attornment, the subtenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord any instruments Landlord may reasonably request to evidence and confirm such attornment. Each subtenant or licensee of Tenant shall be deemed, automatically upon and as a condition of its occupying or using the Premises or any part thereof, to have agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 10.5.
46
10.6 PROCESSING EXPENSES
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Landlords cost of processing each proposed assignment or subletting (whether or not the same is ultimately approved by Landlord or consummated by Tenant), an amount equal to the sum of (i) Landlords reasonable attorneys and other professional fees, plus (ii) the sum of $2,500.00 for the cost of Landlords administrative, accounting and clerical time (collectively, Processing Costs). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall not be required to process any request for Landlords consent to an assignment or subletting until Tenant has paid to Landlord the amount of Landlords estimate of the Processing Costs. When the actual amount of the Processing Costs is determined, it shall be reconciled with Landlords 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 Landlords consent in violation of this Article 10 shall, at Landlords option, be a noncurable Default under Section 11.1 without the necessity of any notice and grace period.
ARTICLE 11
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
11.1 DEFAULT
The occurrence or existence of any one or more of the following shall constitute a Default by Tenant under this Lease:
(a) Tenant fails to pay any installment or other payment of Rent including Rent Adjustment Deposits or Rent Adjustments within five (5) business days after receipt of written notice to Tenant that such amount is due;
(b) Tenant vacates or abandons the Premises;
(c) Tenant violates the restrictions on assignments and subleases set forth in Article 10 Assignment and Subletting;
(d) Tenant fails to maintain any insurance policy required hereunder, and fails to cure such default within ten (10) business days after written notice thereof to Tenant;
(e) Tenant fails to observe or perform any of the other covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease and fails to cure such default within fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof to Tenant, unless the default involves an Environmental 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;
47
(f) the interest of Tenant in this Lease is levied upon under execution or other legal process;
(g) 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 Code, or any amendment, replacement or substitution therefor, or to delay payment of, reduce or modify Tenants debts, which in the case of an involuntary action is not discharged within thirty (30) days;
(h) Tenant is declared insolvent by Law or any assignment of Tenants property is made for the benefit of creditors;
(i) a receiver is appointed for Tenant or Tenants property, which appointment is not discharged within thirty (30) days;
(j) any action taken by or against Tenant to reorganize or modify Tenants capital structure in a materially adverse way which in the case of an involuntary action is not discharged within thirty (30) days;
(k) upon the dissolution of Tenant; or
(l) upon the third occurrence during any 12-month period during the Term that Tenant fails to pay Rent (after the applicable notice and cure periods provided in this Section) or has breached a particular covenant of this Lease (whether or not such failure or breach is thereafter cured within any stated cure or grace period or statutory period).
Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Lease, in the event that Landlord claims that Tenant is in Default of any non-monetary term, covenant, condition or obligation hereunder (other than providing evidence of insurance) which cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such Default from Landlord, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred provided Tenant (i) has commenced the curing of such Default within such thirty (30) day period, and (ii) diligently prosecutes the performance of same.
11.2 LANDLORDS 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.
(b) With respect to a Default, at any time Landlord may terminate Tenants right to possession by written notice to Tenant stating such election. Any written notice required pursuant to Section 11.1 shall constitute notice of unlawful detainer pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 if, at Landlords sole discretion, it states Landlords election that Tenants right to possession is terminated after expiration of any period required by Law or any longer period required by Section 11.1. Upon the expiration of the period stated in Landlords written notice of termination (and unless such notice provides an option to cure within such period and Tenant cures the Default within such period), Tenants right to possession shall terminate and this
48
Lease shall terminate, and Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. Upon such termination in writing of Tenants right to possession, Landlord shall have the right, subject to applicable Law, to re-enter the Premises and dispossess Tenant and the legal representatives of Tenant and all other occupants of the Premises by unlawful detainer or other summary proceedings, or as otherwise permitted by Law, regain possession of the Premises and remove their property (including their trade fixtures, personal property and Required Removables pursuant to Article 12), but Landlord shall not be obligated to effect such removal, and such property may, at Landlords option, be stored elsewhere, sold or otherwise dealt with as permitted by Law, at the risk of, expense of and for the account of Tenant, and the proceeds of any sale shall be applied pursuant to Law. Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping of any such property. Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages that may be caused by Landlords removing or storing Tenants personal property pursuant to this Section or Section 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 Tenants right to possession and this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to recover damages for Tenants 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;
(4) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenants 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, Landlords unamortized costs of tenant improvements, leasing commissions and legal fees incurred in connection with entering into this Lease; and
(5) any other amounts, in addition to or in lieu of those listed above, that may be permitted by applicable Law.
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, the amounts last payable by Tenant as Rent Adjustments for the calendar year in which Landlord terminated this Lease as provided hereinabove, and any additional Rent under this Lease.
49
(c) Even if Tenant is in Default and/or has abandoned the Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenants right to possession by written notice as provided in Section 11.2(b) above, and Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover Rent as it becomes due under this Lease. In such event, Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies of a landlord under California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue Lease in effect after lessees breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations), or any successor statute. During such time as Tenant is in Default, if Landlord has not terminated this Lease by written notice and if Tenant requests Landlords consent to an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of the Premises, such consent shall be governed by the terms and conditions of Article 10 above. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Article 10 shall be deemed to constitute reasonable limitations of Tenants right to assign or sublet. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that in the absence of written notice pursuant to Section 11.2(b) above terminating Tenants right to possession, no other act of Landlord shall constitute a termination of Tenants right to possession or an acceptance of Tenants surrender of the Premises, including acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlords 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 Tenants 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, Tenants 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.
50
(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 or Tenant unless such waiver is in writing signed by Landlord or by Tenant, as the case may be. The waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of this Lease.
11.3 ATTORNEYS FEES
In the event any party brings any suit or other proceeding with respect to the subject matter or enforcement of this Lease, the prevailing party (as determined by the court, agency or other authority before which such suit or proceeding is commenced) shall, in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, be entitled to recover attorneys fees, expenses and costs of investigation as actually incurred, including court costs, expert witness fees, costs and expenses of investigation, and all attorneys fees, costs and expenses in any such suit or proceeding (including in any action or participation in or in connection with any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, 11 United States Code Sections 101 et seq. (the Bankruptcy Code), 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 (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 Tenants 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) business 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 Tenants 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.
51
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 Tenants 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.
(d) Landlords 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 Landlords consent, Landlords right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Tenants interest under this Lease without such consent, or Landlords claim for any amount of Rent due from Tenant.
11.5 LANDLORDS DEFAULT
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 (except in the event of an emergency, in which case Landlords obligation to commence to cure or meet its obligation must be immediate). 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 Landlords default as to any covenant or agreement contained in this Lease. Tenant hereby waives such remedies of termination and rescission and hereby agrees that Tenants 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 any Mortgagee notice and a reasonable time to cure any default by Landlord (as specified in Section 23.2 below).
ARTICLE 12
SURRENDER OF PREMISES
12.1 IN GENERAL
Upon the Termination Date, Tenant shall surrender and vacate the Premises and deliver possession thereof to Landlord in the same condition as on the Commencement Date, ordinary wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted, and any damage from casualty and condemnation, and damage caused by Landlord, shall be governed by the provisions of this Lease dealing specifically therewith. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all keys to the Premises. All improvements in and to the Premises, including any Tenant Alterations (collectively, Leasehold Improvements) shall remain upon the Premises at the end of the Term without compensation to Tenant. Landlord, however, by written notice to Tenant at least 30 days prior to the Termination Date, may require Tenant, at its expense, to remove (a) any Cable, and (b) any Tenant Additions that, in Landlords 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 (collectively referred to as Required Removables).
52
Required Removables may include, without limitation, internal stairways, 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. Tenants removal and disposal of items pursuant to this Section 12.1 must comply with the Projects Sustainability Practices and Tenant is strongly encouraged to comply with 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 Tenants expense. 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 after thirty (30) days written notice to Tenant, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to), at Tenants expense, remove any of such property and store, sell or otherwise deal with such property, and undertake, at Tenants expense, such restoration work to satisfy Tenants obligations regarding delivery of the Premises as required in this Section. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.1 to the contrary, failure by Tenant to comply with the provisions of this Section 12.1 with respect to any Required Removables that are required to be removed from the Premises by Tenant hereunder shall constitute a failure of Tenant to validly surrender the Premises.
12.2 LANDLORDS RIGHTS
All property which Tenant has not removed from the Premises thirty (30) days after the Termination Date may be removed from the Premises by Landlord 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 Tenant Additions and in restoring the Premises to the condition required by this Lease upon Tenants receipt of paid invoices of such costs and expenses.
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, then for the first three (3) months of such holding over, Tenant shall pay Landlord one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the monthly Rent payable for the month immediately preceding the holding over and one hundred percent (100%) of any applicable Rent Adjustments or increases to Rent Adjustments which Landlord may reasonably estimate, and thereafter, Tenant shall pay Landlord one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly Rent payable for the month immediately preceding the holding over and one hundred percent (100%) of any applicable Rent Adjustments or increases to Rent Adjustments which Landlord may reasonably estimate. Tenant shall also pay all damages, excluding consequential, incidental, special or punitive damages, sustained by Landlord by reason of such holding over. The provisions of this Article shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any re-entry rights of Landlord, and Tenants continued occupancy of the Premises shall be a tenant-at-will whose tenancy is terminable at any time on not less than thirty (30) days written notice from Landlord.
53
ARTICLE 14
DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY
14.1 SUBSTANTIAL UNTENANTABILITY
(a) If any fire or other casualty (whether insured or uninsured) renders all or a substantial portion of the Premises or the Building untenantable, Landlord shall, with reasonable promptness after the occurrence of such damage, estimate the length of time that will be required to substantially complete the repair and restoration and shall, by written notice advise Tenant of such estimate (Landlords Notice). If Landlord estimates that the amount of time required to substantially complete such repair 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 twenty (20) business days after delivery of Landlords Notice, provided that if Landlord so chooses, Landlords 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.
(c) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall be entitled to the full proceeds of any insurance coverage, whether carried by Landlord or Tenant, for damages to the Premises, except for those proceeds of Tenants insurance for its own personal property and equipment which would be removable by Tenant at the Termination Date. All such insurance proceeds shall be payable to Landlord whether or not the Premises are to be repaired and restored; provided, however, if this Lease is not terminated and the parties proceed to repair and restore Tenant Additions at Tenants cost, to the extent Landlord received proceeds of Tenants insurance covering Tenant Additions, such proceeds shall be applied to reimburse Tenant for its cost of repairing and restoring Tenant Additions.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein set forth: (i) Landlord shall have no duty pursuant to this Section to repair or restore any portion of any Tenant Additions or to expend for any repair or restoration of the Premises or Building in amounts in excess of insurance proceeds paid to Landlord and available for repair or restoration; and (ii) Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section if any damage or destruction was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agent or employees. Whether or not this Lease is terminated 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.
54
14.2 INSUBSTANTIAL UNTENANTABILITY
If the Premises or the Building is damaged by a casualty but neither is rendered substantially untenantable and Landlord estimates 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 or the Premises other than Tenant Additions, with reasonable promptness, unless such damage is to the Premises and occurs during the last six (6) months of the Term, in which event either Tenant or Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such casualty by giving written notice thereof to the other within twenty (20) business days after the date of such casualty. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, Landlords obligation to repair shall be limited in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.1 above.
14.3 RENT ABATEMENT
Except for the gross 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, Rent, including Monthly Base Rent, Rent Adjustments, and all other payments and/or charges payable by Tenant under this Lease (other than the Amortized Tenant Improvement Allowance Payments), shall abate 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 lieu of condemnation) and is thereby rendered untenantable, 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.

Provided that Tenants right of full recovery under its aforesaid policy or policies is not adversely affected or prejudiced thereby, Tenant hereby waives any and all right of recovery which it might otherwise have against Landlord, its servants, and employees and against every other tenant of the Real Property who shall have executed a similar waiver as set forth in this Section 16.4(c) for loss or damage to Tenant Additions, whether or not removable, and to Tenants furniture, furnishings, fixtures and other property removable by Tenant under the provisions hereof to the extent the same is coverable by Tenants insurance required under this Lease, notwithstanding that such loss or 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.

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 chosen by Landlord, in Landlords sole discretion. Landlord reserves the right to settle, compromise or
59
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 Section 17.2(a) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Sections 17.1 and 17.2(a) above, Landlord shall indemnify, defend and protect Tenant (and its partners, officers, shareholders, directors, members, managers, trustees, beneficiaries, employees, transferees, principals, contractors, servants, agents and representatives; Tenant and such other parties being referred to herein each as a Tenant Indemnitee and collectively as the Tenant Indemnitees), and hold Tenant Indemnitees harmless of and from any and all claims, proceedings, loss, cost, damage, causes of action, liabilities, injury or expense, including attorneys fees and expenses for the defense thereof, arising out of (i) the condition or design of the Common Areas, or (ii) the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its authorized agents; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity in subsection (ii) shall not be applicable to claims to the extent arising by reason of the active negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Indemnitees.

This Section 17.2(b) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
17.3 WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
To the extent permitted by law, and except as otherwise specified in this Lease, Tenant hereby waives and releases the Indemnitees from any consequential damages, compensation or claims for inconvenience or loss of business, rents or profits as a result of any injury or damage, whether or not caused by the willful and wrongful act of any of the Indemnitees. To the extent permitted by law, and except as otherwise specified in this Lease, Landlord hereby waives and releases the Tenant Indemnitees from any consequential damages, compensation or claims for inconvenience or loss of business, rents or profits as a result of any injury or damage, whether or not caused by the willful and wrongful act of any of the Tenant Indemnitees.

ARTICLE 23
MORTGAGEE PROTECTION
23.1 SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
(a) Subject to Tenants rights under Section 23.1(b) below, 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 terminated, upon request of the Mortgagee or ground lessor, as the case may be, subject to compliance and in accordance with Tenants rights under Section 23.1(b) below, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale or to the ground lessor under such lease, as the case may be, provided, however, that such purchaser or ground lessor shall not be (i) bound by any payment of Rent for more than one month in advance except payments in the nature of security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease; (ii) subject to any offset, defense or damages arising out of a default of any obligations of any preceding landlord, including Landlord; or (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. 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.
(b) Tenants obligation to subordinate to any Mortgagee shall be conditioned on Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, causing such Mortgagee to sign and deliver to Tenant a
63
non-disturbance agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D hereto (the SNDA); provided, however, that (i) delivery of a fully executed SNDA by such Mortgagee shall be deemed satisfaction of the condition set forth in this Section 23.1(b), and (ii) Tenant shall be responsible for its own attorneys fees in connection with the SNDA.
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 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 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 Landlords bankruptcy. Until the time allowed as aforesaid for Mortgagee or ground lessor to cure such defaults has expired without cure, Tenant shall have no 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.
ARTICLE 24

(b) All notices, demands or requests to be sent pursuant to this Lease shall be deemed to have been properly given or served by delivering or sending the same in accordance with this Section, addressed to the parties hereto at their respective addresses listed in Section 1.1.
(c) Notices, demands or requests sent by mail or overnight courier service as described above shall be effective upon deposit in the mail or with such courier service. However, except with respect to a notice given under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 et seq., the time period in which a response to any such notice, demand or request must be given shall commence to run from (i) in the case of delivery by mail, the date of receipt on the return receipt of the notice, demand or request by the addressee thereof, or (ii) in the case of delivery by Federal Express or other overnight courier service, the date of acceptance of delivery by an employee, officer, director
64
or partner of Landlord or Tenant. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given, as indicated by advice from Federal Express or other overnight courier service or by mail return receipt, shall be deemed to be receipt of notice, demand or request sent. Notices may also be served by personal service upon any officer, director or partner of Landlord or Tenant, and shall be effective upon such service.
(d) By giving to the other party at least thirty (30) days written notice thereof, either party shall have the right from time to time during the term of this Lease to change their respective addresses for notices, statements, demands and requests, provided such new address shall be within the United States of America.
ARTICLE 25
FURNITURE, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT

Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, title to the FF&E shall pass to Tenant (without any warranty or representation whatsoever), and Tenant shall remove the FF&E from the Premises in accordance with Section 12.1 of this Lease.
ARTICLE 26
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) business days after Landlords demand therefor. All such amounts (including Monthly Base Rent, Rent Adjustments, and Rent Adjustment Deposits) not paid when due shall bear interest from the date due until the date paid at the Default Rate in effect on the date such payment was due.
(b) In the event Tenant is more than five (5) business days late in paying any installment of Rent due under this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to two percent (2%) of the delinquent installment of Rent. The parties agree that (i) such delinquency will cause Landlord to incur costs and expenses not contemplated herein, the exact amount of which will be difficult to calculate, including the cost and expense that will be incurred by Landlord in processing each delinquent payment of rent by Tenant, (ii) the amount of such late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and that such late charge shall be paid to Landlord for each delinquent payment in addition to all Rent otherwise due hereunder.
65
The parties further agree that the payment of late charges and the payment of interest provided for in subparagraph (a) above are distinct and separate from one another in that the payment of interest is to compensate Landlord for its inability to use the money improperly withheld by Tenant, while the payment of late charges is to compensate Landlord for its additional administrative expenses in handling and processing delinquent payments.
(c) Payment of interest at the Default Rate and/or of late charges shall not excuse or cure any Default by Tenant under this Lease, nor shall the foregoing provisions of this Article or any such payments prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenants failure to pay Rent when due, including the right to terminate this Lease.
26.2 NO JURY TRIAL; VENUE; JURISDICTION
To the fullest extent permitted by Laws, each party hereto (which includes any assignee, successor, heir or personal representative of a party) shall not seek a jury trial, hereby waives trial by jury, and hereby further waives any objection to venue in the County in which the Project is located, and agrees and consents to personal jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California, in any action or proceeding or counterclaim brought by any party hereto against the other on any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenants use or occupancy of the Premises, or any claim of injury or damage, or the enforcement of any remedy under any statute, emergency or otherwise, whether any of the foregoing is based on this Lease or on tort law. No party will seek to consolidate any such action in which a jury has been waived with any other action in which a jury trial cannot or has not been waived. It is the intention of the parties that these provisions shall be subject to no exceptions. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
26.3 NO DISCRIMINATION
Tenant agrees for Tenant and Tenants heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns and all persons claiming under or through Tenant, and this Lease is made and accepted upon and subject to the following conditions: that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, national origin or ancestry (whether in the leasing, subleasing, transferring, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Premises or otherwise) nor shall Tenant or any person claiming under or through Tenant establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant.
26.4 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Within ten (10) business days after written request from Landlord from time to time during the Term, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the financial statements most recently prepared by Tenants independent accountant, certified as correct by such accountant or by an authorized officer of Tenant or otherwise prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, setting forth Tenants financial condition and net worth for the most recent quarter, including balance sheets and statements of profits and losses. Landlord shall keep such financial information confidential and shall only disclose such information to
66
Landlords lenders, consultants, purchasers or investors, or other agents (who shall be subject to the same confidentiality obligations) on a need to know basis in connection with the administration of this Lease.
26.5 OPTION
This Lease shall not become effective as a lease or otherwise until executed and delivered by both Landlord and Tenant. The submission of this Lease to Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option for the Premises, but when executed by Tenant and delivered to Landlord, this Lease shall constitute an irrevocable offer by Tenant in effect for fifteen (15) days to lease the Premises on the terms and conditions herein contained.
26.6 TENANT AUTHORITY
Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that it has full authority and power to enter into and perform its obligations under this Lease, that the person executing this Lease is fully empowered to do so, and that no consent or authorization is necessary from any third party. Landlord may request that Tenant provide Landlord evidence of Tenants authority.

The laboratory tenant should make every effort to handle any deliveries relating to animal activities outside of Standard Operating Hours. The freight elevator must be used at all times, and delivery trucks should not be visible to the other tenants in the campus area. No cartons, containers or cardboard boxes bearing the nature of contents may be stored or left in common area spaces, including any garage/freight areas. Feed bags, animal carriers, and any and all other related containers must be disposed of properly and with discretion.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) paid by each party to the other and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby covenant and agree as follows:
(1) In the event of any foreclosure of the Mortgage or any conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, provided that the Lessee shall not then be in default beyond any notice, cure or grace period under the Lease and that the Lease shall then be in full force and effect, then Lender shall neither terminate the Lease nor join Lessee in foreclosure proceedings, nor disturb Lessees possession, and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Lessee and Lender, Lender shall be bound to Lessee under all terms and conditions of the Lease (except as provided in this Agreement), the leasehold estate under the Lease shall not be terminated by Lender during the term (including any extensions or renewals) except in accordance with the terms

Lender further agrees not to join Lessee in any foreclosure proceeding except to the extent necessary under applicable law, but such joinder shall not be in derogation of the rights of Lessee as set forth in this Agreement and such joinder shall be for that purpose only, at no cost to Lessee and shall not result in the termination of the Lease.
(2) After the receipt by Lessee of notice from Lender of any foreclosure of the Mortgage or any conveyance of the Demised Premises in lieu of foreclosure, Lessee will thereafter attorn to and recognize Lender or any purchaser at any foreclosure sale or otherwise as its substitute lessor on the terms and conditions set forth in the Lease. In the event of any foreclosure, Lender shall recognize Lessee as the tenant of the Premises for the remainder of the term of the Lease (as may be extended or renewed) in accordance with the provisions thereof, as the terms of the Lease are modified, amended or supplemented (as approved by Lender).
(3) Lessee hereby agrees that if Lessee has the right to terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, or to abate or reduce rent due to a Lessor default under the Lease, Lessee will not exercise such right until it has given written notice to Lender, and Lender has failed within thirty (30) days after both receipt of such notice and the date when it shall have become entitled to remedy the same, to commence to cure such default and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion within ninety (90) days of Lenders commencement to cure such default.
(4) Lessee agrees that if the Lease is terminated pursuant to the terms of the Lease, or otherwise, Lessee will remit any payments made in connection with such termination directly and immediately to Lender.
Lessor hereby agrees that such payments shall be held by Lender as additional security for the Loan and applied at Lenders sole discretion.
(5) In no event shall Lender be liable for: (a) the return of any security deposit provided to Lessor under the Lease unless said security deposit is actually received by Lender and then only pursuant to the terms of the Lease; (b) any act or omission of the Lessor; (c) any covenant of Lessor to undertake or complete the initial construction or installation of improvements on the Demised Premises; (d) any sums due Lessee under the Lease related to the costs of preparing, furnishing or moving into the Demised Premises or other premises for relocated or expanded premises as contemplated in the Lease (for example, a construction or tenant improvement allowance); (e) any covenant of Lessor related to restrictive uses or exclusives which pertain to properties outside of the Demised Premises and which Lender could not reasonably comply with if it became Lessor under the Lease or (f) any offsite expansion space as contemplated in the Lease which Lender could not reasonably comply with if it became Lessor under the Lease. Further, Lender shall not be subject to any offsets or deficiencies which Lessee may be entitled to assert against the Lessor as a result of any act or omission of Lessor occurring prior to Lenders obtaining title to the Demised Premises, it being understood that nothing in this clause shall be deemed to exclude Lender from responsibility for repairs and maintenance required of the Lessor under the Lease
D-2
from and after the date Lender takes title to the Demised Premises, whether or not the need for such repairs or maintenance accrued before or after such date; provided, however, that in no event shall Lender be responsible for consequential damages resulting from the failure of Lessor to undertake such repairs and maintenance.
(6) This Agreement and its terms shall be governed by the laws of the state where the Demised Premises are located and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lender and Lessee and their respective successors and assigns, including, without limitation, any purchaser at any foreclosure sale or otherwise.
