I.

Basic Lease Information.

 

A.

“Building” shall mean the building located at 900 Saginaw Drive, Redwood City, California, and commonly known as 900 Saginaw Drive.

 

B.

“Buildings of the Campus” shall mean the buildings in Redwood City, California, located at 300 Saginaw Drive, 400 Saginaw Drive, 500 Saginaw Drive, 600 Saginaw Drive, 700 Saginaw Drive, 800 Saginaw Drive and 900 Saginaw Drive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that the definition of Buildings of the Campus may change from time to time in the event Landlord elects to add or remove buildings as more fully described in Section below, in which case Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be adjusted as provided in Section I.F below.

 

C.

“Rentable Square Footage of the Campus” is deemed to be 287,399 square feet. The Rentable Square Footage of the Campus is determined by combining the total building square footages of the Buildings of the Campus.

 

D.

“Premises” shall mean the area shown on Exhibit A-1 to this Lease. The Premises are located on the first (1st) and second (2nd) floors of the Building and known as suite numbers 100 and 200. The “Rentable Square Footage of the Premises” is deemed to be 31,062 square feet, consisting of 20,708 square feet on the first (1st) floor and known as Suite 100, as more particularly shown on Exhibit A-1 (the “First Floor Premises”), and 10,354 square feet on the second (2nd) floor and known as Suite 200, as more particularly shown on Exhibit A-1 (the “Second Floor Premises”). If the Premises include one or more floors in their entirety, all corridors and restroom facilities located on such full floor(s) shall be considered part of the Premises, Landlord and Tenant stipulate and agree that the Rentable Square Footage of the Building and the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises are correct and shall not be remeasured. Notwithstanding any limitations on payments of Base Rent for certain portions of the Premises during certain periods of the Term or adjustments to Tenant’s Pro Rata Share as set forth herein, the “Premises” for all other purposes hereunder shall mean the entire Premises effective as of the Delivery Date.

 

E.

“Base Rent”:

Prior to the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date (as defined in Section III.B below), Base Rent shall be calculated on the First Floor Premises only, as follows:

Notwithstanding anything in this Section of the Lease to the contrary, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Base Rent in the amount of $17,239.41 per month for 3 consecutive full calendar months of the Term, beginning with the first full calendar month of the Term (the “Base Rent Abatement Period”), in which case the first month’s rent payable pursuant to Section IV.A below shall be applied instead to the first month following the Base Rent Abatement Period. The total amount of Base Rent abated during the Base Rent Abatement Period shall equal $51,718.23 (the “Abated Base Rent”). If Tenant defaults at any time during the Term and fails to cure such default within any applicable cure period under the Lease, all unamortized Abated Base Rent (i.e. based upon the amortization of the Abated Base Rent in equal monthly amounts during the initial Term, without interest) shall immediately become due and payable. The payment by Tenant of the Abated Base Rent in the event of a default shall not limit or affect any of Landlord’s other rights, pursuant to this Lease or at law or in equity, During the Base Rent Abatement Period, only Base Rent shall be abated, and all Additional Rent and other costs and charges specified in this Lease shall remain as due and payable pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.

F.

“Tenant’s Pro Rata Share” for the Premises (1) for the first six months following the Commencement Date is 5.2192%, (2) for the period commencing on the six month anniversary of the Commencement Date through the day immediately prior to the first day of the twenty-fifth month following the Commencement Date is 7.2053%, and for the period commencing on the first day of the twenty-fifth month following the Commencement Date through the remainder of the Term is 10.8080%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that in the event of Early Occupancy (as defined in Section III.C) of any portion of the Second Floor Premises prior to the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be immediately increased by 0.6959% (in addition to the 5.2192% or 7.2053% set forth above, as applicable), regardless of the number of Rentable Square Feet of the Second Floor Premises that are actually subject to such Early Occupancy, effective as of the first day of such Early Occupancy until the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date, at which time Tenant’s entire Pro Rata Share shall be 10.8080% as set forth above. For example, in the event of Early Occupancy of a portion of the Second Floor

 

2.

 



 

Premises on the date that is 3 months after the Commencement Date, then Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be 5.9151% for the 4th through 6th months after the Commencement Date, 7.9012% for the 7th through 23rd month after the Commencement Date, and 10.8080% as of the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date. The parties further acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of Early Occupancy of the entire Second Floor Premises prior to the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be immediately increased to 10.8080% for the remainder of the Term, effective upon the first day of such Early Occupancy of the entire Second Floor Premises. In no event shall any increase in Tenant’s Pro Rata Share as set forth in this Section I.F affect the Base Rent amounts set forth in Section I.E. above.

Except as expressly modified above in the event of Early Occupancy and for the first six months following the Commencement Date, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share is the sum derived by dividing the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises then subject to Base Rent by the Rentable Square Footage of the Campus and multiplying the resulting quotient by 100. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if one or more buildings are removed from the group of the Buildings of the Campus, whether as a result of a sale or demolition of the building(s) or otherwise, or if one or more buildings owned by Landlord, now or in the future, are added to the Buildings of the Campus, then the definition of the “Rentable Square Footage of the Campus”, and “Tenant’s Pro Rata Share” with respect to the Premises, shall be appropriately modified or adjusted to reflect the deletion or addition of such buildings.

“Tenant’s Monthly Expense and Tax Payment” is $8,700.00, which is Tenant’s initial Pro Rata Share of the monthly estimated Expenses and monthly estimated Taxes for the Premises for the first six months of the Term (as described above), which is subject to adjustment in connection with increases in Tenant’s Pro Rata Share as described herein (Landlord’s current estimate of the amount of any such adjustment is the equivalent of $0.58 per Rentable Square Foot of the Premises). The foregoing amount is based upon a 95% occupancy rate for the Building, as described in Section IV below.

 

G.

“Term”: A period of 60 months. The Term shall commence on the date (the “Commencement Date”) that is 120 days after the Delivery Date (as defined in Section III.A below) and, unless terminated early in accordance with this Lease, end on the date that is 60 months after the Commencement Date (the “Termination Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Termination Date, as determined herein, does not occur on the last day of a calendar month, the Term shall be deemed automatically extended by the number of days necessary to cause the Termination Date to occur on the last day of the last calendar month of the Term. Tenant shall pay Base Rent and Additional Rent for such additional days at the same rate payable for the portion of the last calendar month immediately preceding such extension. At Landlord’s option, promptly after the determination of the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a letter agreement confirming the applicable dates substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C.

 

3.

Tenant allowance(s): $621,240.00, as more particularly described in the Work Letter attached as Exhibit D hereto (the “Work Letter”).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any delay in the completion of the Demising Wall, or inconvenience suffered by Tenant during the construction of the Demising Wall in the event of Early Occupancy, shall not delay the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date, nor shall it subject Landlord to any liability for any loss or damage resulting therefrom or entitle Tenant to any credit, abatement or adjustment of Rent or other sums payable under this Lease; provided that Landlord shall diligently pursue completion of the Demising Wall as soon as practicable. Within 15 days following written demand from Landlord and presentment of applicable invoices, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for fifty percent (50%) of the actual and reasonable cost of the Demising Wall, Tenant’s share thereof not to exceed $10,000.00 (the “Demising Wall Costs”).

IV.

Rent.

 

A.

Payments. As consideration for this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord, without any setoff or deduction, the total amount of Base Rent and Additional Rent due for the Term. “Additional Rent” means all sums (exclusive of Base Rent) that Tenant is required to pay Landlord. Additional Rent and Base Rent are sometimes collectively referred to as “Rent”. Tenant shall pay and be liable for all rental, sales and use taxes (but excluding income taxes), if any, imposed upon or measured by Rent under applicable Law. Base Rent and recurring monthly charges of Additional Rent shall be due and payable in advance on the first (1st) day of each calendar month without notice or demand, provided that the installment of Base Rent and Tenant’s Monthly Expense and Tax Payment (as defined in Section I.F above) for the first full calendar month of the Term shall be payable upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant. All other items of Rent shall be due and payable by Tenant on or before 30 days after billing by Landlord. Rent shall be made payable to the entity, and sent to the address, Landlord designates and shall be made by good and sufficient check or by other means (such as automatic debit or electronic transfer) acceptable to Landlord. If Tenant fails to pay any item or installment of Rent when due, Tenant shall pay Landlord an administration fee equal to five percent (5%) of the past due Rent, provided that Tenant shall be entitled to a grace period of five (5) Business Days after written notice for the first two (2) late payments of Rent in a given calendar year. If the Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or

 

7.

 



 

terminates on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the monthly Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses (defined in Section IV.C.) and Taxes (defined in Section IV.D.) for the month shall be prorated based on the number of days in such calendar month. Landlord’s acceptance of less than the correct amount of Rent shall be considered a payment on account of the earliest Rent due. No endorsement or statement on a check or letter accompanying a check or payment shall be considered an accord and satisfaction, and either party may accept the check or payment without prejudice to that party’s right to recover the balance or pursue other available remedies. Tenant’s covenant to pay Rent is independent of every other covenant in this Lease.

 

B.

Payment of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses and Taxes. Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the total amount of Expenses (defined in Section IV.C.) and Taxes (defined in Section IV.D) for each calendar year during the Term. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a good faith estimate of the total amount of Expenses and Taxes for each calendar year during the Term. On or before the first (1st) day of each month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a monthly installment equal to one-twelfth of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Landlord’s estimate of the total amount of Expenses and Taxes, which initial monthly sum is defined in Section I.F, above as the “Tenant’s Monthly Expense and Tax Payment”. If Landlord determines that its good faith estimate was incorrect by a material amount, Landlord may provide Tenant with a revised estimate. After its receipt of the revised estimate, Tenant’s Monthly Expense and Tax Payment shall be based upon the revised estimate. If Landlord does not provide Tenant with an estimate of the total amount of Expenses and Taxes by January 1 of a calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly installments based on the previous year’s estimate until Landlord provides Tenant with the new estimate. Upon delivery of the new estimate, an adjustment shall be made for any month for which Tenant paid monthly installments based on the previous year’s estimate. Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment within 30 days after receipt of the new estimate. Any overpayment shall be refunded to Tenant within 30 days or credited against the next due future installment(s) of Additional Rent.

As soon as is practical following the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a statement of the actual amount of Expenses and Taxes for the prior calendar year and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the actual amount of Expenses and Taxes for the prior calendar year. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to furnish the statement of actual Expenses on or before June 1 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year to which the statement applies. If the estimated amount of Expenses and Taxes for the prior calendar year is more than the actual amount of Expenses and Taxes for the prior calendar year, Landlord shall apply any overpayment by Tenant against Additional Rent due or next becoming due, provided if the Term expires before the determination of the overpayment, Landlord shall refund any overpayment to Tenant within 30 days after expiration of the Term after first deducting the amount of Rent due. If the estimated amount of Expenses and Taxes for the prior calendar year is less than the actual amount of Expenses and Taxes for such prior year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within 30 days after Its receipt of the statement of Expenses and Taxes, any underpayment for the prior calendar year.

 

8.

 



 

Tenant’s obligation to pay or reimburse Landlord for any underpayment of Expenses shall expire two (2) years after the and of the calendar year in which such Expenses were incurred. In no event shall Landlord be entitled to a reimbursement from tenants for Expenses and Taxes in excess of 100% of the costs actually paid or incurred by Landlord in any applicable calendar year.

 

C.

Expenses Defined. “Expenses” means the sum of (a) all direct and indirect costs of operating, maintaining, repairing and managing the Building, the Property and the Campus (including any costs and expenses in connection with operating, maintaining, repairing and managing the Exterior Common Areas), (b) all costs, fees or other amounts payable to any association established for the benefit of the Campus and/or other properties, and (c) all fees payable to the company or association, if applicable, managing the parking areas within the Campus, and (iii) the Building’s, the Property’s, the Campus’ and the Landlord’s allocable percentage of (x) all direct and indirect costs of operating, maintaining, repairing and managing the Project (including any costs and expenses in connection with operating, maintaining, repairing and managing the Project Common Areas located on the Project to the extent such costs and expenses are not specifically allocated to and payable by individual buildings and campuses within the Project), (y) all costs, fees or other amounts payable to any association established for the benefit of the Project and/or other properties, and (z) all fees payable to the company or association, if applicable, managing the parking areas within the Project including, but not limited to:

Labor costs, including, wages, salaries, social security and employment taxes, medical and other types of insurance, uniforms, training, and retirement and pension plans; provided that if any employee performs services in connection with the Campus and other buildings or projects, costs associated with such employee may be proportionately included in Expenses based on the percentage of time such employee spends in connection with the operation, maintenance and management of the Campus.

 

2.

Management fees, the cost of equipping and maintaining a management office, accounting and bookkeeping services, legal fees not attributable to leasing or collection activity, and other administrative costs. Landlord, by itself or through an affiliate, shall have the right to directly perform or provide any services under this Lease (including management services), provided that in no event shall Landlord, such affiliates or any third party be paid for such services in excess of three percent (3%) of the gross receipts for the Campus.

5.

Electrical Costs (defined below) and charges for water, gas, steam and sewer, but excluding those charges for which Landlord is reimbursed by tenants. “Electrical Costs” means: (a) charges paid by Landlord for electricity; (b) costs incurred in connection with an energy management program for the Building, the Property, the Campus or the Project; and (c) if and to the extent permitted by Law, a fee for the services provided by Landlord in connection with the selection of utility companies and the negotiation and administration of contracts for electricity, provided that such fee shall not exceed 50% of any savings obtained by Landlord. Electrical Costs shall be adjusted as follows: (i) amounts received by Landlord as reimbursement for above standard electrical consumption shall be deducted from Electrical Costs; (ii) the cost of electricity incurred to provide overtime HVAC to specific tenants (as reasonably estimated by Landlord) shall be deducted from Electrical Costs; and (iii) if Tenant is billed directly for the cost of building standard electricity to the Premises as a separate charge in addition to Base Rent, the cost of electricity to individual tenant spaces in the Building shall be deducted from Electrical Costs.

 

6.

The cost of capital improvements shall be amortized by Landlord over the lesser of the Payback Period (defined below) or 5 years. The amortized cost of capital improvements may, at Landlord’s option, include actual or imputed interest at the rate that Landlord would reasonably be required to pay to finance the cost of the capital improvement. “Payback Period” means the reasonably estimated period of time that it takes for the cost savings resulting from a capital improvement to equal the total cost of the capital improvement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of the annual amortized costs to be included in Expenses in any calendar year with respect to a capital improvement which is intended to reduce expenses or improve operating efficiency shall equal the lesser of: (a) such annual amortized costs; and (b) the projected annual amortized reduction in expenses for that portion of the amortization period of the capital improvement which falls within the Term (based on the total cost savings for such period, as reasonably estimated by Landlord).

If Landlord incurs Expenses for the Building, the Property, the Campus or the Project together with one or more other buildings or properties, whether pursuant to a reciprocal easement agreement, common area agreement or otherwise, the shared costs and expenses shall be equitably prorated and apportioned between the Building, the Property and the Campus and the other buildings, properties or campuses. Expenses shall not include: the cost of capital improvements (except as set forth above); depreciation; interest (except as provided above for the amortization of capital improvements); principal payments of mortgage and other non-operating debts of Landlord; the cost of repairs or other work to the extent Landlord is reimbursed by insurance or condemnation proceeds; costs in connection with leasing space in the Building, including brokerage commissions; lease concessions, including rental abatements and construction allowances, granted to specific tenants; costs incurred in connection with the sale, financing or refinancing of the Building or Campus; fines, interest and penalties incurred due to the late payment of Taxes (defined in Section IV.D) or Expenses; organizational expenses associated with the creation and operation of the entity which constitutes Landlord; or any penalties or damages that Landlord pays to Tenant under this Lease or to other tenants in the Building under their respective leases.

The following items are also excluded from Expenses:

(g)

Accounting fees to the extent relating to Landlord’s general corporate overhead;

 

(h)

Any penalties or liquidated damages that Landlord pays to Tenant under this Lease or to any other tenants in any of the Buildings on the Campus under their respective leases;

(j)

Any cost or expense related to removal, cleaning, abatement or remediation of Hazardous Materials in or about the Building, Campus, Property or Project, except to the extent such removal, cleaning, abatement or remediation is related to the routine repair and maintenance of the Building, Campus, Property or Project, and further provided that this provision shall not limit or affect Tenant’s express obligations with respect to Hazardous Materials and the Generator and Fuel Tank as set forth elsewhere in this Lease; and

 

(k)

The cost of complying with any Laws in effect (and as enforced) on the Delivery Date, provided that if any portion of the Building that was in compliance with all applicable Laws on the Commencement Date becomes out of compliance due to normal wear and tear, the cost of bringing such portion of the Building into compliance shall be included in Expenses unless otherwise excluded pursuant to the terms hereof, and further provided that this provision shall not limit or affect Tenant’s express obligations with respect to Hazardous Materials and the Generator and Fuel Tank as set forth elsewhere in this Lease.

If the Buildings of the Campus are not at least 95% occupied during any calendar year or if Landlord is not supplying services to at least 95% of the total Rentable Square Footage of the Buildings of the Campus at any time during a calendar year, Expenses shall be determined as if the Buildings of the Campus had been 95% occupied and Landlord had been supplying services to 95% of the Rentable Square Footage of the Buildings of the Campus during that calendar year. The extrapolation of Expenses under this Section shall be performed by appropriately adjusting the cost of those components of Expenses that are impacted by changes in the occupancy of the Buildings of the Campus.

 

D.

Taxes Defined. “Taxes” shall mean: (1) all real estate taxes and other assessments on the Building, the Property, the Campus and the Project, including, but not limited to, assessments for special improvement districts and building improvement districts, taxes and assessments levied in substitution or supplementation in whole or in part of any such taxes and assessments and the

 

12.

 



 

Building’s, the Property’s, the Campus’ and the Project’s share of any real estate taxes and assessments under any reciprocal easement agreement, common area agreement or similar agreement as to the Building, Property, Campus and/or Project; (2) all personal property taxes for property that is owned by Landlord and used in connection with the operation, maintenance and repair of the Building, Property, Campus or the Project; and (3) all commercially reasonable costs and fees incurred in connection with seeking reductions in any tax liabilities described in (1) and (2), including, without limitation, any costs incurred by Landlord for compliance, review and appeal of tax liabilities. Without limitation, Taxes shall not include any federal, state or corporate income, capital levy, franchise, capital stock, gift, estate, transfer or inheritance tax or interest on taxes or penalties resulting from Landlord’s failure to timely pay taxes, unless Landlord is in good faith contesting such taxes, or unless such interest is in connection with a permitted payment of such taxes in installments, as provided below. If an assessment is payable in installments, Taxes for the year shall include that installment amount and any interest due and payable during that year. For all other real estate taxes, Taxes for that year shall, at Landlord’s election, include either the amount accrued, assessed or otherwise imposed for the year or the amount due and payable for that year, provided that Landlord’s election shall be applied consistently throughout the Term. If a change in Taxes is obtained for any year of the Term, then Taxes for that year will be retroactively adjusted and Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit, if any, based on the adjustment. Tenant shall be responsible for, and shall pay prior to delinquency, taxes or governmental service fees, possessory interest taxes, fees or charges in lieu of any such taxes, capital taxes, or other charges imposed upon, levied with respect to, or assessed against, its personal property, and its interest pursuant to this Lease. To the extent that any such taxes are not separately assessed or billed to Tenant, Tenant shall pay the amount properly allocated to Tenant as invoiced to Tenant by Landlord prior to the delinquency of such taxes. In the event that the tenant improvements in the Building which correspond to any initial alterations to the Premises are assessed and taxed separately by the applicable taxing authority, then Tenant shall be liable and shall pay that portion of the Taxes applicable to the value of the initial alterations to the Premises based on the value attributed thereto by the applicable taxing authority to either (a) the applicable taxing authority prior the delinquency of such taxes in the event Tenant is billed directly by such taxing authority, or (b) the Landlord within 30 days after written demand, in the event Landlord is billed directly by the applicable taxing authority.

 

E.

Net Lease. This shall be a triple net Lease and Base Rent shall be paid to Landlord absolutely net of all costs and expenses, except as specifically provided to the contrary in this Lease. The provisions for payment of Expenses and Taxes and the determination of Tenant’s Monthly Expense and Tax Payment are intended to pass on to Tenant and reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses of the nature described in this Article IV incurred in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance, repair, preservation, replacement and operation of the Building, Campus and/or Project and its supporting facilities and such additional facilities now and in subsequent years as may be determined by Landlord to be necessary or desirable to the Building, Campus and/or Project.

F.

Audit Rights. Tenant may, within 180 days after receiving Landlord’s statement of Expenses, give Landlord written notice (“Review Notice”) that Tenant intends to review Landlord’s records of the Expenses for that calendar year. Within a reasonable time after receipt of the Review Notice, Landlord shall make all pertinent records available for inspection that are reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct its review. If any records are maintained at a location other than the office of the Campus, Tenant may either inspect the records at such other location or pay for the reasonable cost of copying and shipping the records. If Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord’s records, the agent must be with a licensed CPA firm. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that Tenant may retain a third party agent to review Landlord’s books and records which is not a CPA firm, so long as the third party agent retained by Tenant shall have expertise in and familiarity with general industry practice with respect to the operation of and accounting for a first class office building and whose, compensation shall in no way be contingent upon or correspond to the financial impact on Tenant resulting from the review. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and fees incurred for the audit. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for the Building for the year in question were less than stated by more than 5%, Landlord, within 30 days after its receipt of paid invoices therefor from Tenant, shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable amounts paid by Tenant to third parties in connection with such review by Tenant. Within 60 days after the records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord written notice (an “Objection Notice”) stating in reasonable detail any objection to Landlord’s statement of Expenses for that year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord an Objection Notice within the 60 day period or fails to provide Landlord with a Review Notice within the 180 day period described above, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved Landlord’s statement of Expenses and shall be barred from raising any claims regarding the Expenses for that year. If Tenant provides Landlord with a timely Objection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve any issues raised in Tenant’s Objection Notice. If Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for the calendar year are less than reported, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against the next installment of Rent in the amount of the overpayment by Tenant. Likewise, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for the calendar year are greater than reported, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment within 30 days. The records obtained by Tenant shall be treated as confidential, except to the extent required by law, legal process between the parties in connection with Tenant’s audit of Expenses, and provided that such information may be shared by Tenant with Tenant’s lenders, investment brokers, advisors, accountants and attorneys to the extent reasonably necessary for the conduct of Tenant’s business, provided that Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such parties to keep such information confidential, in no event shall Tenant be permitted to examine Landlord’s records or to dispute any statement of Expenses unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent when due.

V.

Compliance with Laws; Use.

The Premises shall be used only for the Permitted Use and for no other use whatsoever. Tenant shall not use or permit the use of the Premises for any purpose which is illegal, dangerous to persons or property or which, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, unreasonably

disturbs any other tenants of the Building, the Campus or the Project or interferes with the operation of the Building, the Campus or the Project. Tenant shall not permit any odors, smoke, dust, gas, substances, noise or vibrations to emanate from the Premises or from any portion of the Common Areas as a result of the use by Tenant or any Tenant Related Party thereof. Storage outside the Premises of materials, vehicles or any other items is prohibited. Tenant shall not use or allow the Premises to be used for any immoral, improper or unlawful purpose, nor shall Tenant cause or maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer the commission of any waste in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not allow any sale by auction upon the Premises, or place any loads upon the floors, walls or ceilings which could endanger the structure, or place any harmful substances in the drainage system of the Building or Campus. No waste, materials or refuse shall be dumped upon or permitted to remain outside the Premises except in trash containers placed inside exterior enclosures designated for that purpose by Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the non-compliance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building or Campus with any of the above-referenced rules or any other terms or provisions of such tenant’s or occupant’s lease or other contract. Tenant shall comply with all Laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act and any Laws relating to the use, generation, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials (hereinafter defined), regarding the operation of Tenant’s business and the use, condition, configuration and occupancy of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord, at its sole cost and expense (except to the extent properly included in Expenses), shall be responsible for correcting any violations of Title Ill of the Americans with Disabilities Act or of applicable building or fire codes with respect to the Premises, provided that Landlord’s obligation shall be limited to violations that arise out of the condition of the Premises prior to the Initial Alterations and installation of any furniture, equipment and other personal property of Tenant. Landlord shall have the right to contest any alleged violation in good faith, including, without limitation, the right to apply for and obtain a waiver or deferment of compliance, the right to assert any and all defenses allowed by Law and the right to appeal any decisions, judgments or rulings to the fullest extent permitted by Law, Landlord, after the exhaustion of any and all rights to appeal or contest, will make all repairs, additions, alterations or improvements necessary to comply with the terms of any final order or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, not Landlord, shall be responsible for the correction of any violations that arise out of or in connection with any claims brought under any provision of the Americans with Disabilities Act other than Title lie the specific nature of Tenant’s business in the Premises (other than general office use), the acts or omissions of Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors, Tenant’s arrangement of any furniture, equipment or other property in the Premises, any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements performed by or on behalf of Tenant (including the Initial Alterations) and any design or configuration of the Premises specifically requested by Tenant after being informed that such design or configuration may not be in strict compliance with the ADA. As of the date hereof, Landlord has not received written notice from any governmental agencies that the Building is in violation of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act or of applicable building or fire codes. Tenant, within 10 days after receipt, shall provide Landlord with copies of any notices it receives regarding a violation or alleged violation of any Laws. Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Campus attached as Exhibit B and such other reasonable rules and regulations adopted by Landlord from time to time. Tenant shall also cause its agents, contractors, subcontractors, employees, customers, and subtenants to comply with all rules and regulations. Landlord shall not knowingly discriminate against Tenant in Landlord’s enforcement of the rules and regulations. If there is a conflict between this Lease and any rules and regulations enacted after the date of this Lease, the terms of this Lease shall control. The rules and regulations shall be generally applicable, and generally applied in the same manner, to all tenants of the Building and/or Campus.

VI.

Security Deposit.

 

A.

The Security Deposit, if any, shall be delivered to Landlord upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant and shall be held by Landlord without liability for interest (unless required by Law) as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations. The Security Deposit is not an advance payment of Rent or a measure of Tenant’s liability for damages. Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use all or a portion of the Security Deposit to satisfy past due Rent or to cure (after expiration of any applicable cure period) any uncured default by Tenant. If Landlord uses the Security Deposit, Tenant shall within ten (10) days following written demand restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord shall return any unapplied portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant within 30 days after the later to occur of (1) the date Tenant surrenders possession of the Premises to Landlord in accordance with this Lease; or (2) the Termination Date; provided that in addition to any other deductions Landlord is entitled to make pursuant to the terms hereof, Landlord shall have the right to make a good faith and reasonable estimate of any unreconciled Expenses and/or Taxes as of the Termination Date or date of surrender, as applicable, and to deduct any anticipated shortfall from the Security Deposit. Such good faith and reasonable estimate shall be final and binding upon Tenant. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises, Landlord shall assign the Security Deposit to the transferee and, following the assignment, Landlord shall have no further liability for any claims by Tenant for the return of the Security Deposit to the extent such claims arise or accrue after the date of such transfer. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, or any similar or successor Laws now or hereinafter in effect.

 

B.

The Security Deposit shall be in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”), which Letter of Credit shall: (a) be in the original amount of $500,000.00; (b) be issued on the form attached hereto as Exhibit H; (c) name Landlord as its beneficiary; and (d) be drawn on an FDIC insured financial institution reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord. Landlord agrees that Silicon Valley Bank shall be deemed a satisfactory financial institution for the purpose of issuing the initial Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit (and any renewals or replacements thereof) shall be for a term of not less than 1 year. Tenant agrees that it shall from time to time, as necessary, whether as a result of a draw on the Letter of Credit by Landlord pursuant to the terms hereof or as a result of the expiration of the Letter of Credit then in effect, renew or replace the original and any subsequent Letter of Credit so that a Letter of Credit, in the amount required hereunder, is in effect until a date which is at least 60 days after the Termination Date of the Lease. If Tenant fails to furnish such renewal or replacement at least 60 days prior to the stated expiration date of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord, Landlord may draw upon such Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds thereof (and such proceeds need not be segregated) as a Security Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Article VI. Any renewal or replacement of the original or any subsequent Letter of Credit shall meet the requirements for the original Letter of Credit as set forth above, except that such replacement or renewal shall be issued by an FDIC insured financial institution reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord at the time of the issuance thereof.

 

16.

 



 

 

If Landlord draws on the Letter of Credit as permitted in this Lease or the Letter of Credit, then, within ten (10) days after written demand of Landlord, Tenant shall restore the amount available under the Letter of Credit to its original amount by providing Landlord with an amendment to the Letter of Credit evidencing that the amount available under the Letter of Credit has been restored to its original amount. In the alternative, Tenant may provide Landlord with cash, to be held by Landlord in accordance with this Article, equal to the restoration amount required under the Letter of Credit.

 

C.

Subject to the remaining terms of this Article VI, Tenant shall have the right to reduce the Security Deposit (i.e. the Letter of Credit) by the amount of the Unused Allowance (as defined in the Work Letter). In addition, but subject to the remaining terms of this Article VI, and provided Tenant has timely paid all Rent due under this Lease during the 12 month period immediately preceding the effective date of any reduction of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall have the right to reduce the amount of the Security Deposit (i.e., the Letter of Credit) on or after the following dates by the following amounts: (i) less $24,000.00, effective as of the first day of the fifteenth (15th) month of the Term; (ii) less an additional $42,000.00, effective as of the first day of the twenty-fifth (25th) month of the Term; (iii) less an additional $42,000.00, effective as of the first day of the thirty-seventh (37th) month of the Term; and (iv) less an additional $42,000.00, effective as of the first day of the forty-ninth (49th) month of the Term. If Tenant is not entitled to reduce the Security Deposit (i.e., the Letter of Credit) as of a particular reduction effective date due to Tenant’s failure to timely pay all Rent during the 12 months prior to that particular reduction effective date, then any subsequent reduction(s) Tenant is entitled to hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of the reduction Tenant would have been entitled to had Tenant timely paid all Rent during the 12 months prior to that particular earlier reduction effective date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Tenant has been in default under this Lease at any time prior to the effective date of any reduction of the Security Deposit and Tenant has failed to cure such default within any applicable cure period, then Tenant shall have no further right to reduce the amount of the Security Deposit (i.e. the Letter of Credit) as described herein.

 

D.

Any reduction in the Letter of Credit shall be accomplished by Tenant providing Landlord with a substitute letter of credit in the reduced amount.

VII.

Services.

 

A.

Tenant shall (where practicable) contract for and pay directly (at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) when due, all services and utilities to the Premises, including, but not limited to, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, electricity, water, gas, light, power, trash pick-up, sewer, telephone, sprinkler charges, janitorial and interior Building security services and all other utility services supplied to the Premises, and all taxes and surcharges thereon, together with any maintenance charges related thereto. If any such services are not separately billed or metered to Tenant, Tenant shall pay an equitable proportion, as determined in good faith by Landlord, of all charges billed or metered with other premises. All sums payable under this Article VII shall constitute Additional Rent hereunder. Landlord agrees to maintain and repair the Property as described in Article IX.B. Tenant shall have access to the Building for Tenant and its employees 24 hours

 

17.

 



 

per day/7 days per week, subject to the terms of this Lease and such security or monitoring systems as Landlord may reasonably impose, including, without limitation, sign-in procedures and/or presentation of identification cards.

 

B.

Any interruption or termination of, services due to the application of Laws, the failure of any equipment, the performance of repairs, improvements or alterations, or the occurrence of any other event (a “Service Failure”) shall not render Landlord liable to Tenant, constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant, give rise to an abatement of Rent, nor relieve Tenant from the obligation to fulfill any covenant or agreement. Furthermore, in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage, including the theft of Tenant’s Property (defined in Article XV), arising out of or in connection with the failure of any security services, personnel or equipment. However, if the Premises, or a material portion of the Premises, are made untenantable for a period in excess of 3 consecutive Business Days as a result of a Service Failure that is reasonably within the control of Landlord to correct, then Tenant, as its sole remedy, shall be entitled to receive an abatement of Rent payable hereunder during the period beginning on the 4th consecutive Business Day of the Service Failure and ending on the day the service has been restored. If the entire Premises have not been rendered untenantable by the Service Failure, the amount of abatement shall be equitably prorated.

VIII.

Leasehold Improvements.

All improvements to the Premises (collectively, “Leasehold improvements”) shall he owned by Landlord and shall remain upon the Premises without compensation to Tenant. However, Landlord, by written notice to Tenant within 30 days prior to the Termination Date, may require Tenant to remove, at Tenant’s expense: (1) Cable (defined in Section IX.A) installed by or for the exclusive benefit of Tenant and located in the Premises or other portions of the Building, Campus and/or Project; and (2) any Leasehold Improvements that are performed by or for the benefit of Tenant and, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, are of a nature that would require removal and repair costs that are materially in excess of the removal and repair costs associated with standard office improvements (collectively referred to as “Required Removables”). Without limitation, it is agreed that Required Removables include internal stairways, raised floors, personal baths and showers, vaults, rolling file systems and structural alterations and modifications of any type. However, it is agreed that Required Removables shall not include any usual office improvements such as gypsum board, partitions, ceiling grids and tiles, fluorescent lighting panels, Building standard doors and non-glued down carpeting. The Required Removables designated by Landlord shall be removed by Tenant before the Termination Date, provided that upon prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant may remain in the Premises for up to 10 Business Days after the Termination Date for the sole purpose of removing the Required Removables. Tenant’s possession of the Premises shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including the obligation to pay Rent on a per diem basis at the rate in effect for the last month of the Term. Tenant shall repair damage caused by the installation or removal of Required Removables. If Tenant fails to remove any Required Removables or perform related repairs in a timely manner, Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, may remove and dispose of the Required Removables and perform the required repairs. Tenant, within 30 days after receipt of an invoice, shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable and actual costs incurred by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, at the time it requests approval for a proposed Alteration (defined in Section IX.C), may request in writing that Landlord advise Tenant whether the Alteration or any portion of the Alteration will be

 

18.

 



 

designated as a Required Removable. Within 10 days after receipt of Tenant’s request, Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing as to which portions of the Alteration, if any, will be considered to be Required Removables. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to remove any of the Initial Alterations as Required Removables, subject, however, to Landlord’s right to identify in writing any specific improvements that Landlord reasonably designates as Required Removables at the time of Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s Plans for the Initial Alterations.

IX.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the repair to be performed by Tenant cannot reasonably be completed within 15 days after Landlord’s written notice to Tenant, Landlord shall not exercise its right to make such repair on Tenant’s behalf so long as Tenant commences such repair within 15 days after written notice from Landlord and is diligently pursuing the same to completion. Tenant shall maintain written records of maintenance and repairs and shall use certified technicians to perform any such maintenance and repairs.

Alterations shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner using materials of a quality that is at least equal to the quality designated by Landlord as the minimum standard for the Building and the Campus. Landlord may designate reasonable rules, regulations and procedures for the performance of work in the Building, the Campus and the Project and, to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid disruption to the occupants of the Building, the Campus and the Project, shall have the right to designate the reasonable time when Alterations may be performed. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within 30 days after receipt of an invoice for reasonable and actual sums paid by Landlord for third party examination of Tenant’s plans for non-Cosmetic Alterations. In addition, within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, Tenant shall pay Landlord a fee for Landlord’s oversight and coordination of any non-Cosmetic Alterations equal to 3% of the cost of the non-Cosmetic Alterations. Upon completion, Tenant shall furnish “as-built” plans (except for Cosmetic Alterations), completion affidavits, full and final waivers of lien in recordable form, and receipted bills covering all labor and materials. Tenant shall assure that the Alterations comply with all insurance requirements and Laws. Landlord’s approval of an Alteration shall not be a representation by Landlord that the Alteration complies with applicable Laws or will be adequate for Tenant’s use. At least 10 Business Days before beginning construction of any Alteration, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of the expected commencement date of that construction to permit Landlord to post and record a notice of non-responsibility. Upon substantial completion of construction, if the law so provides, Tenant shall cause a timely notice of completion to be recorded in the office of the recorder of the county in which the Building is located.

X.

Use of Utility Services by Tenant.

 

A.

Electricity, gas, water and other utility services used by Tenant in the Premises shall be paid for by Tenant through inclusion in Expenses (except as provided in Section X.B. for excess usage). Electrical service to the Premises may be furnished by one or more companies providing electrical generation, transmission and distribution services, and the cost of electricity may consist of several different components or separate charges for such services, such as generation, distribution and stranded cost charges. Landlord shall have the exclusive right to select any company providing electrical service to the Premises, to aggregate the electrical service for the Property and Premises with other buildings, to purchase electricity through a broker and/or buyers group and to change the providers and manner of purchasing electricity. Landlord shall be entitled to receive a fee (if permitted by Law) for the selection of utility companies and the negotiation and administration of contracts for electricity, provided that the amount of such fee shall not exceed 10% of any savings obtained by Landlord.

 

B.

Tenant’s use of electrical service shall not exceed, either in voltage, rated capacity, or overall load, that which Landlord deems to be standard for the Building. If Tenant requests permission to consume excess electrical service, Landlord may refuse to consent or may condition consent upon conditions that Landlord reasonably elects (including, without limitation, the installation of utility service upgrades, meters, submeters, air handlers or cooling units), and the additional usage (to the extent permitted by Law), and reasonable and actual installation and maintenance costs shall be paid by Tenant. Landlord shall have the right to separately meter electrical usage for the Premises and to measure electrical usage by survey or other commonly accepted methods.

XI.

Entry by Landlord.

Landlord, its agents, contractors and representatives may enter the Premises to inspect or (during the last nine (9) months of the Term) to show the Premises, to clean and make repairs, alterations or additions to the Premises, and to conduct or facilitate repairs, alterations or additions to any portion of the Building, the Campus or the Project, including other tenants’ premises. Except in emergencies or to provide janitorial or maintenance services (if Landlord so elects in accordance with Article IX.A above) and other regularly scheduled Services after normal business hours, Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable prior notice (at least 24 hours, except in connection with showing of the Premises to prospective tenants during the last 9 months of the Term) of entry into the Premises, which may be given orally. If reasonably necessary for the protection and safety of Tenant and its employees, Landlord shall have the right to temporarily close all or a portion of the Premises to perform repairs, alterations and additions. However, except in emergencies, Landlord will not close the Premises if the work can reasonably be completed on weekends and after normal business hours. Entry by Landlord shall not constitute constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to an abatement or reduction of Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in emergency situations as determined by Landlord, Landlord shall exercise reasonable efforts not to unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of Tenant in the Premises.

XII.

Assignment and Subletting.

 

A.

Except in connection with a Permitted Transfer (defined in Section XII.E. below), Tenant shall not assign, sublease, transfer or encumber any interest in this Lease or allow any third party to use any portion of the Premises (collectively or individually, a “Transfer”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if Landlord does not elect to exercise its termination rights under Section XII.B below. Without limitation, it is agreed that Landlord’s consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if: (1) the proposed transferee’s financial condition does not meet the criteria Landlord uses to select Building and Campus tenants having similar leasehold obligations, provided, with respect to a subtenant, Landlord shall apply a standard of whether the proposed subtenant is financially able to meet its sublease obligations, including its obligation to pay rent under the sublease, as they become due; (2) the proposed transferee’s business is not suitable for the Building, the Campus or the Project considering the business of the other tenants and the prestige of the Building, the Campus and the Project, or would result in a violation of another tenant’s rights; (3) the proposed transferee is a governmental agency or occupant of the Building or the Campus; (4) Tenant is in default after the expiration of the notice and cure periods in this Lease; or (5) any portion of the Premises, the Building, the Campus or the Project would likely become subject to additional or different Laws as a consequence of the proposed Transfer. Notwithstanding the above, Landlord will not withhold its consent solely because the proposed transferee is an occupant of the Building or Campus if Landlord does not have space available for lease in the Building or Campus that is comparable to the space Tenant desires to sublet or assign. Landlord shall be deemed to have comparable space if it has, or will have, space available an any floor of the Building or another building in the Campus that is approximately the same size as the space Tenant desires to Transfer within 6 months of the proposed commencement of the proposed sublease or assignment. Tenant shall not be entitled to receive monetary damages based upon a claim that Landlord unreasonably withheld its consent to a proposed Transfer and Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action to enforce any such provision through specific performance or declaratory judgment. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1995.310 of the California Civil Code, or any similar or successor Laws, now or hereinafter in effect, and all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable Laws, on behalf of the proposed transferee. Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Article shall, at Landlord’s option, be void. Consent by Landlord to one or more Transfer(s) shall not operate as a waiver of Landlord’s rights to approve any subsequent Transfers. In no event shall any Transfer or Permitted Transfer release or relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Lease.

 

B.

As part of its request for Landlord’s consent to a Transfer (other than a Permitted Transfer), Tenant shall provide Landlord with financial statements for the proposed transferee, a complete copy of the proposed assignment, sublease and other contractual documents and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall, by written notice to Tenant within 10 Business Days of its receipt of the required information and documentation,

 

23.

 



 

either: (1) consent to the Transfer by the execution of a consent agreement in a form reasonably designated by Landlord or reasonably refuse to consent to the Transfer in writing; or (2) exercise its right to terminate this Lease with respect to the entire Premises, if Tenant is proposing to assign the Lease, or with respect to the portion of the Premises that Tenant is proposing to sublet if the proposed sublease term, with or without renewal options relating thereto, is to expire during the last 12 months of the Term of the Lease and would result in 50% or more of the Tenant’s Premises being subject to sublease. Any such termination shall be effective on the proposed effective date of the Transfer for which Tenant requested consent. If Landlord fails to respond to any request for consent within the 10 Business Day period set forth above, Tenant shall have the right to provide Landlord with a second request for consent. Tenant’s second request for consent must specifically state that Landlord’s failure to respond within a period of 10 days shall be deemed to be an approval by Landlord. If Landlord’s failure to respond continues for 10 days after its receipt of the second request for consent, the Transfer for which Tenant has requested consent shall be deemed to have been approved by Landlord. Tenant shall pay Landlord a review fee of $1,250.00 for Landlord’s review of any Permitted Transfer or requested Transfer, provided if Landlord’s actual reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) exceed $1,250.00, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its actual reasonable costs and expenses in lieu of a fixed review fee (not to exceed $2,500.00, unless Landlord’s actual and reasonable costs exceed such amount as the direct result of Tenant’s or transferee’s request for material changes to Landlord’s standard form of consent or if this Lease needs to be amended as a result thereof).

 

C.

Tenant shall pay Landlord 50% of all rent and other consideration which Tenant receives as a result of a Transfer that is in excess of the Rent payable to Landlord for the portion of the Premises and Term covered by the Transfer. Tenant shall pay Landlord for Landlord’s share of any excess within 30 days after Tenant’s receipt of such excess consideration. Tenant may deduct from the excess alt reasonable and customary expenses directly incurred by Tenant attributable to the Transfer (other than Landlord’s review fee), including brokerage fees, legal fees and construction costs. If Tenant is in Monetary Default (defined in Section XIX.A. below), Landlord may require that all sublease payments be made directly to Landlord, in which case Tenant shall receive a credit against Rent in the amount of any payments received (less Landlord’s share of any excess). Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, in the event that Tenant Transfers any portion of the Second Floor Premises (other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer) prior to the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date, during any part of the term of such Transfer that is prior to the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord 100% of all rent and other consideration which Tenant receives (after appropriate deductions as provided above) as a result of a Transfer that is in excess of the Rent payable to Landlord for the portion of the Second Floor Premises subject to the Transfer; provided that If the term of such Transfer extends beyond the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date, following the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date Landlord shall be entitled to only 50% of such excess rent and consideration.

 

24.

 



 

 

 

D.

Except as provided below with respect to a Permitted Transfer, if Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or similar entity, and if the entity which owns or controls a majority (more than 50%) of the voting shares/rights at any time changes for any reason (including but not limited to a merger, consolidation or reorganization), such change of ownership or control shall constitute a Transfer. The foregoing shall not apply so long as Tenant is an entity whose outstanding stock is listed on a recognized security exchange, or if at least 80% of its voting stock is owned by another entity, the voting stock of which is so listed.

 

E.

So long as Tenant is not entering into the Permitted Transfer for the purpose of avoiding or otherwise circumventing the remaining terms of this Article XII, Tenant may assign its entire interest under this Lease, without the consent of Landlord, to (i) an affiliate, subsidiary, or parent of Tenant, or a corporation, partnership or other legal entity wholly owned by Tenant (collectively, an “Affiliated Party”), or (ii) a successor to Tenant by purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied (each such Transfer a “Permitted Transfer”): (1) Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond applicable cure periods; (2) the Permitted Use does not allow the Premises to be used for retail purposes; (3) unless prohibited by law (in which case Tenant shall give Landlord notice within 10 days, or as soon thereafter as is permitted by law, following the transfer), Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least 15 days prior to the effective date of the proposed Permitted Transfer; (4) with respect to a proposed Permitted Transfer to an Affiliated Party, Tenant continues to have a net worth equal to or greater than Tenant’s net worth at the date of this Lease; and (5) with respect to a purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization or any Permitted Transfer which results in Tenant ceasing to exist as a separate legal entity, (a) Tenant’s successor shall own all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, and (b) Tenant’s successor shall have a net worth which is at least equal to the greater of Tenant’s net worth at the date of this Lease or Tenant’s net worth as of the day prior to the proposed purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization. Tenant’s notice to Landlord shall include information and documentation showing that each of the above conditions has been satisfied. If requested by Landlord, Tenant’s successor shall sign a commercially reasonable form of assumption agreement. As used herein, (A) “parent” shall mean a company which owns a majority of Tenant’s voting equity; (B) “subsidiary” shall mean an entity wholly owned by Tenant or at least 51% of whose voting equity is owned by Tenant; and (C) “affiliate” shall mean an entity controlled, controlling or under common control with Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any parent, affiliate or subsidiary to which this Lease has been assigned or transferred subsequently sells or transfers its voting equity or its interest under this Lease other than to another parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the original Tenant named hereunder, such sale or transfer shall be deemed to be a Transfer requiring the reasonable consent of Landlord hereunder.

XIII.

Liens.

Tenant shall not permit mechanics or other liens to be placed upon the Premises, the Building, the Property, the Campus, the Project or Tenant’s leasehold interest in connection with any work or service done or purportedly done by or for benefit of Tenant. If a lien is so placed,

 

25.

 



 

Tenant shall, within 10 days of written notice from Landlord of the filing of the lien, fully discharge the lien by settling the claim which resulted in the lien or by bonding or insuring over the lien in the manner prescribed by the applicable lien Law. If Tenant fails to discharge the lien, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may bond or insure over the lien or otherwise discharge the lien. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any amount paid by Landlord to bond or insure over the lien or discharge the lien, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (if and to the extent permitted by Law) within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord. Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices permitted or required by Law, or which Landlord shall deem proper, for the protection of Landlord, the Premises, the Building, the Campus, the Project and any other party having an interest therein, from mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens, and Tenant shall give Landlord not less than 10 Business Days prior written notice of the commencement of any work in the Premises, Building or Campus which could lawfully give rise to a claim for mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens to permit Landlord to post and record a timely notice of non-responsibility, as Landlord may elect to proceed or as the law may from time to time provide, for which purpose, it Landlord shall so determine, Landlord may enter the Premises. Tenant shall not remove any such notice posted by Landlord without Landlord’s consent, and in any event not before completion of the work which could lawfully give rise to a claim for mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens.

XIV.

A.

Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties (defined below), Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, its trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, Mortgagee(s) (defined in Article XXVI) and agents (“Landlord Related Parties”) harmless against and from all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, actions, costs, charges and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other professional fees (if and to the extent permitted by Law) (collectively, “Claims”), which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Landlord or any of the Landlord Related Parties and arising out of or in connection with any damage or injury occurring in the Premises or any acts or omissions (including violations of Law) of Tenant, the Tenant Related Parties (defined below) or any of Tenant’s transferees, contractors or licensees.

Nothing herein shall be construed as to diminish the repair and maintenance obligations of Landlord contained elsewhere in this Lease.

XV.

Insurance.

Tenant shall carry and maintain the following insurance (“Tenant’s Insurance”), at its sole cost and expense: (1) Commercial General Liability Insurance applicable to the Premises and its appurtenances providing, on an occurrence basis, a minimum combined single limit of $3,000,000.00; (2) All Risk Property/Business Interruption Insurance, including flood and earthquake, written at replacement cost value and with a replacement cost endorsement covering all of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment, furniture and other personal property within the Premises (“Tenant’s Properly”); (3) Workers’ Compensation Insurance as required by the state in which the Premises is located and in amounts as may be required by applicable statute; and (4) Employers Liability Coverage of at least $1,000,000.00 per occurrence.

XVI.

Subrogation.

Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive and shall cause their respective insurance carriers to waive any and all rights of recovery, claim, action or causes of action against the other and their respective trustees, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, agents, and employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to Landlord or Tenant or any party claiming by, through or under Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, with respect to Tenant’s Property, the Premises, the Building, the Campus,

 

27.

 



 

any additions or improvements to the Premises, the Building or the Campus, or any contents thereof, including all rights of recovery, claims, actions or causes of action arising out of the negligence of Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties or the negligence of Tenant or any Tenant Related Parties, which loss or damage is (or would have been, had the insurance required by this Lease been carried) covered by insurance.

XVII.

Casualty Damage.

 

A.

If all or any part of the Premises is damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing. During any period of time that all or a material portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable as a result of a fire or other casualty (including due to the inaccessibility of the Premises), the Rent shall abate for the portion of the Premises that is untenantable and not used by Tenant. Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease if: (1) the Building, the Campus or the Project shall be damaged so that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building or the Campus shall be required (whether or not the Premises has been damaged), and such reconstruction or alteration would effectively eliminate the continued use of the Premises in the manner contemplated by this Lease; (2) Landlord is not permitted by Law to rebuild the Building, the Campus or the Project in substantially the same form as existed before the fire or casualty; (3) the Premises have been materially damaged and there is less than 2 years of the Term remaining on the date of the casualty; (4) any Mortgagee requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt; or (5) a material uninsured loss to the Building, the Campus or the Project occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will not be entitled to terminate this Lease solely because there is less than 2 years on the Term if Tenant has an exercisable right to renew or extend the Term and Tenant, within 15 days after receipt of Landlord’s written notice of termination, validly exercises such right. The foregoing shall not prohibit Landlord from exercising its right to terminate for any of the other reasons set forth herein. Landlord may exercise its right to terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination as soon as reasonably practicable (taking into consideration delays such as adjustment of insurance claims), but in all circumstances within 90 days after the date of the casualty. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease, Landlord shall commence and proceed with reasonable diligence to repair and restore the Building and the Leasehold Improvements (excluding any Alterations that were performed by Tenant in violation of this Lease). However, in no event shall Landlord be required to spend more than the insurance proceeds received by Landlord together with any applicable deductible; provided that if Landlord does not receive sufficient insurance proceeds to substantially complete the restoration of the Premises and Landlord elects not to fund any shortfall, Landlord shall so notify Tenant immediately and Tenant, within 10 days after such notification, shall have the right to terminate this Lease by the giving of written notice to Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage to Tenant’s Property or to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from the fire or other casualty or from the repair and restoration of the damage. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive the provisions of any Law relating to the matters addressed in this Article, and agree that their respective rights for damage to or destruction of the Premises shall be those specifically provided in this Lease.

 

28.

 



 

 

 

B.

If all or any portion of the Premises shall be made untenantable (including due to the inaccessibility of the Premises) by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall, with reasonable promptness, cause an architect or general contractor selected by Landlord to provide Landlord and Tenant with a written estimate of the amount of time required to substantially complete the repair and restoration of the Premises and make the Premises tenantable again, using standard working methods (“Completion Estimate”). If the Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises cannot be made tenantable within 180 days from the date the repair and restoration is started, then regardless of anything in Section XVII.A above to the contrary, either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other of such election within 10 days after receipt of the Completion Estimate. Tenant, however, shall not have the right to terminate this Lease if the fire or casualty was caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant, Tenant Related Parties or any of Tenant’s transferees, contractors or licensees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant was entitled to but elected not to exercise its right to terminate the Lease and Landlord does not substantially complete the repair and restoration of the Premises within 2 months after the expiration of the estimated period of time set forth in the Completion Estimate, which period shall be extended to the extent of any Reconstruction Delays, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord within 15 days after the expiration of such period, as the same may be extended. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Reconstruction Delays” shall mean: (i) any delays caused by the insurance adjustment process; (ii) any delays caused by Tenant; and (iii) any delays caused by events of Force Majeure.

 

C.

The provisions of this Lease, including this Article XVII, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building, the Property, the Campus or the Project, and any Laws, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any similar or successor Laws now or hereinafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building, the Property, the Campus or the Project.

XVIII.

Condemnation.

Either party may terminate this Lease if the whole or any material part of the Premises, of all reasonable access thereto or all parking to which Tenant is entitled to pursuant to the Parking Agreement and Landlord is unable to provide reasonable alternative access or parking to Tenant, shall be taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use under Law, by eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking”). Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if there is a Taking of any portion of the Building, the Property, the Campus or the Project which would leave the remainder of the Building, the Campus or the Project unsuitable for use as an office building or an office project in a manner comparable to the use of the Building, the Campus or the Project prior to the Taking. In order to exercise its right to terminate the Lease, Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, must provide written notice of termination to the other within 45 days after the terminating party first receives notice of the Taking. Any such termination shall be effective as of the date the physical taking of the Premises or the portion of the Building, the Property, the Campus or the Project occurs. If this

 

29.

 



 

Lease is not terminated, the Rentable Square Footage of the Campus, the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises, the Building’s allocable percentage of the Campus, the Campus’ allocable percentage of the Project and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall, if applicable, be appropriately adjusted. In addition, Rent for any portion of the Premises taken or condemned shall be abated during the unexpired Term of this Lease effective when the physical taking of the portion of the Premises occurs. All compensation awarded for a Taking, or sale proceeds, shall be the property of Landlord, any right to receive compensation or proceeds being expressly waived by Tenant except as expressly provided below. However, Tenant may file a separate claim at its sole cost and expense for Tenant’s Property (including any loss of goodwill or business interruption, but in no event for the value of the leasehold estate), any improvements to the Premises actually paid for by Tenant and not reimbursed by application of the Allowance, and Tenant’s reasonable relocation expenses, provided the filing of the claim does not diminish the award which would otherwise be receivable by Landlord. Tenant hereby waives any and alt rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or any similar or successor Laws.

XIX.

Events of Default.

Tenant shall be considered to be in default of this Lease upon the occurrence of any of the following events of default:

 

A.

Tenant’s failure to pay when due all or any portion of the Rent, if the failure continues for 3 Business Days after written notice to Tenant (“Monetary Default”).

 

B.

Tenant’s failure (other than a Monetary Default) to comply with any term, provision or covenant of this Lease, if the failure is not cured within 20 days after written notice to Tenant. However, if Tenant’s failure to comply cannot reasonably be cured within 20 days, Tenant shall be allowed additional time (not to exceed 60 days) as is reasonably necessary to cure the failure so long as: (1) Tenant commences to cure the failure within 20 days, and (2) Tenant diligently pursues a course of action that will cure the failure and bring Tenant hack into compliance with the Lease. However, if Tenant’s failure to comply creates a hazardous condition, the failure must be cured immediately upon notice to Tenant. In addition, if Landlord provides Tenant with notice of Tenant’s failure to comply with any particular term, provision or covenant of the Lease on 3 occasions during any 12 month period, Tenant’s subsequent violation of such term, provision or covenant during the 12 months immediately following the date of Landlord’s third such notice shall, at Landlord’s option, be an incurable event of default by Tenant.

 

C.

Tenant or any Guarantor becomes insolvent, makes a transfer in fraud of creditors or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts when due.

 

D.

The leasehold estate is taken by process or operation of Law.

XX.

Remedies.

 

A.

Upon the occurrence of any event or events of default under this Lease, whether enumerated in Article XIX or not, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any notice (except as expressly

 

30.

 



 

prescribed herein) or demand whatsoever (and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant hereby specifically waives notice and demand for payment of Rent or other obligations, except for those notices specifically required pursuant to the terms of Article XIX or this Article XX, and waives any and all other notices or demand requirements imposed by applicable law):

 

1.

Terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and recover from Tenant an award of damages equal to the sum of the following:

 

(a)

The Worth at the Time of Award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination;

 

(b)

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 affirmatively proves could have been reasonably avoided;

 

(c)

The Worth at the Time of Award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant affirmatively proves could be reasonably avoided;

 

(d)

Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment either proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; and

 

(e)

All such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time under applicable law.

The “Worth at the Time of Award” of the amounts referred to in parts (a) and (b) above, shall be computed by allowing interest at the lesser of a per annum rate equal to: (i) the greatest per annum rate of interest permitted from time to time under applicable law, or (ii) the Prime Rate plus 4%. For purposes hereof, the “Prime Rate” shall be the per annum interest rate publicly announced as its prime or base rate by a federally insured bank selected by Landlord in the State of California. The “Worth at the Time of Award” of the amount referred to in part (c), above, shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus 1%;

 

2.

Employ the remedy described in California Civil Code § 1951.4 (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations); or

 

3.

Notwithstanding Landlord’s exercise of the remedy described in California Civil Code § 1951.4 in respect of an event or events of default, at such time thereafter as Landlord may elect in writing, to terminate this Lease

 

31.

 



 

and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and recover an award of damages as provided above in Paragraph XX.A.1.

 

B.

The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent. No waiver by Landlord of any breach hereof shall be effective unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Landlord.

 

C.

Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon en event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default.

 

E.

For purposes hereof, the “Prime Rate” shall be the per annum interest rate publicly announced as its prime or base rate by a federally insured bank selected by Landlord in the state in which the Building is located.

 

F.

This Article XX shall be enforceable to the maximum extent such enforcement is not prohibited by applicable law, and the unenforceability of any portion thereof shall not thereby render unenforceable any other portion.

XXI.

Limitation of Liability.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE, THE LIABILITY OF LANDLORD (AND OF ANY SUCCESSOR LANDLORD) TO TENANT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN THE PROPERTY. TENANT SHALL LOOK SOLELY TO LANDLORD’S INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY FOR THE RECOVERY OF ANY JUDGMENT OR AWARD AGAINST LANDLORD. NEITHER

 

32.

 



 

LANDLORD NOR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY SHALL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY JUDGMENT OR DEFICIENCY. BEFORE FILING SUIT FOR AN ALLEGED DEFAULT BY LANDLORD, TENANT SHALL GIVE LANDLORD AND THE MORTGAGEE(S) (DEFINED IN ARTICLE XXVI BELOW) WHOM TENANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED HOLD MORTGAGES (DEFINED IN ARTICLE XXVI BELOW) ON THE PROPERTY, BUILDING OR PREMISES, NOTICE AND REASONABLE TIME TO CURE THE ALLEGED DEFAULT. FOR PURPOSES HEREOF, “INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN THE PROPERTY” SHALL INCLUDE RENTS DUE FROM TENANTS, INSURANCE PROCEEDS, AND PROCEEDS FROM CONDEMNATION OR EMINENT DOMAIN PROCEEDINGS (PRIOR TO THE DISTRIBUTION OF SAME TO ANY PARTNER OR SHAREHOLDER OF LANDLORD OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY).

XXII.

No Waiver.

Either party’s failure to declare a default immediately upon its occurrence, or delay in taking action for a default shall not constitute a waiver of the default, nor shall it constitute an estoppel. Either party’s failure to enforce its rights for a default shall not constitute a waiver of its rights regarding any subsequent default. Receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s keys to the Premises shall not constitute an acceptance or surrender of the Premises.

XXIII.

Quiet Enjoyment.

Tenant shall, and may peacefully have, hold and enjoy the Premises, subject to the terms of this Lease, provided Tenant pays the Rent and fully performs all of its covenants and agreements. This covenant and all other covenants of Landlord shall be binding upon Landlord and its successors only during its or their respective periods of ownership of the Building, and shall not be a personal covenant of Landlord or the Landlord Related Parties.

XXIV.

Relocation. [Intentionally Omitted]

 

XXV.

Holding Over.

Except for any permitted occupancy by Tenant under Article VIII, if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, occupancy of the Premises after the termination or expiration shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance. Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises during the holdover shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Lease and (a) during the first 30 days of any such holdover, Tenant shall pay an amount (on a per month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover) equal to the greater of (i) 150% of the sum of the Base Rent and Additional Rent due for the period immediately preceding the holdover, and (ii) the fair market gross rental for the Premises as reasonably determined by Landlord, and (b) commencing as of the 31st day of such holdover, Tenant shall pay an amount (on a per month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover) equal to 150% of the greater of: (1) the sum of the Base Rent and Additional Rent due for the period immediately preceding the holdover; or (2) the fair market gross rental for the Premises as reasonably determined by Landlord. No holdover by Tenant or payment by Tenant after the expiration or early termination of this Lease shall be construed to extend the Term or prevent Landlord from immediate recovery of possession of the Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise. In addition to the payment of the amounts provided above, if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to a new tenant, or to perform

 

33.

 



 

improvements for a new tenant, as a result of Tenant’s holdover and Tenant fails to vacate the Premises Within 15 days after Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of Landlord’s inability to deliver possession, or perform improvements, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all damages, including, without limitation, consequential damages, that Landlord suffers from the holdover.

XXVI.

Subordination to Mortgages; Estoppel Certificate.

Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust, ground lease(s) or other lien(s) now or subsequently arising upon the Premises, the Building, the Property, the Campus or the Project, and to renewals, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively referred to as a “Mortgage”). The party having the benefit of a Mortgage shall be referred to as a “Mortgagee”. This clause shall be self-operative, but upon written request from a Mortgagee, Tenant shall execute a commercially reasonable subordination agreement in favor of the Mortgagee. In lieu of having the Mortgage be superior to this Lease, a Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease. If requested by a successor-in-interest to all or a part of Landlord’s interest in the Lease, Tenant shall, without charge, attorn to the successor-in-interest. Landlord and Tenant shall each, within 10 Business Days after receipt of a written request from the other, execute and deliver an estoppel certificate to those parties as are reasonably requested by the ether (including a Mortgagee or prospective purchaser). The estoppel certificate shall include a statement certifying that this Lease is unmodified (except as identified in the estoppel certificate) and in full force and effect, describing the dates to which Rent and other charges have been paid, representing that, to such party’s actual knowledge, there is no default (or stating the nature of the alleged default) and indicating other matters with respect to the Lease that may reasonably be requested. Landlord represents that there is no Mortgage in effect as of the date of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request by Tenant, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to obtain a non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement from Landlord’s then current Mortgagee on such Mortgagee’s then current standard form of agreement. “Reasonable efforts” of Landlord shall not require Landlord to incur any cost, expense or liability to obtain such agreement, it being agreed that Tenant shall be responsible for any fee or review costs charged by the Mortgagee. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant will execute the Mortgagee’s form of non-disturbance, subordination and attornrnent agreement (to the extent such form is commercially reasonable) and return the same to Landlord for execution by the Mortgagee. Landlord’s failure to obtain a non-disturbance, subordination and attornrnent agreement for Tenant shall have no effect on the rights, obligations and liabilities of Landlord and Tenant or be considered to be a default by Landlord hereunder.

XXVII.

Attorneys’ Fees.

If either party institutes a suit against the other for violation of or to enforce any covenant or condition of this Lease, or if either party intervenes in any suit in which the other is a party to enforce or protect its interest or rights, the prevailing party shall be entitled to all of its costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

XXVIII.

Notice.

If a demand, request, approval, consent or notice (collectively referred to as a “notice”) shall or may be given to either party by the other, the notice shall be in writing and delivered by hand or sent by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested, or sent by overnight or same day courier service at the party’s respective Notice Address(es) set forth in Article I, except that if Tenant has vacated the Premises (or if the Notice Address for Tenant is other than

 

34.

 



 

the Premises, and Tenant has vacated such address) without providing Landlord a new Notice Address, Landlord may serve notice in any manner described in this Article or in any other manner permitted by Law. Each notice shall be deemed to have been received or given on the earlier to occur of actual delivery or the date on which delivery is refused, or, if Tenant has vacated the Premises or the other Notice Address of Tenant without providing a new Notice Address, 3 days after notice is deposited in the U.S. mail or with a courier service in the manner described above. Either party may, at any time, change its Notice Address (other than to a post office box address) by giving the other party written notice of the new address in the manner described in this Article.

XXIX.

Excepted Rights.

This Lease does not grant any rights to light or air over or about the Building, the Campus or the Project. Landlord excepts and reserves exclusively to itself the use of: (1) roofs, (2) telephone, electrical and janitorial closets, (3) equipment rooms, Building risers or similar areas that are used by Landlord for the provision of Building services, (4) rights to the land and improvements below the floor of the Premises, (5) the improvements and air rights above the Premises, (6) the improvements and air rights outside the demising walls of the Premises, and (7) the areas within the Premises used for the installation of utility lines and other installations serving occupants of the Building, the Campus or the Project. Landlord has the right to change the Building’s, the Campus’s or the Project’s name or address. Landlord also has the right to make such other changes to the Building, the Property, the Campus and the Project as Landlord deems appropriate, provided the changes do not materially affect Tenant’s parking rights (unless and to the extent Landlord provides Tenant with reasonable alternative parking) or Tenant’s ability to use or access the Premises for the Permitted Use, Landlord shall also have the right (but not the obligation) to temporarily close the Building, the Campus or the Project if Landlord reasonably determines that there is an imminent danger of significant damage to the Building, the Campus or the Project or of personal injury to Landlord’s employees or the occupants of the Building, the Campus or the Project. The circumstances under which Landlord may temporarily close the Building, the Campus or the Project shall include, without limitation, electrical interruptions, hurricanes and civil disturbances. A closure of the Building, the Campus or the Project under such circumstances shall not constitute a constructive eviction nor entitle Tenant to an abatement or reduction of Rent; provided, however, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Rent in accordance with Section VII.B. if the Building is closed, other than as required by Law or by order of proper governmental authority, and Tenant is unable to use the Premises as a result of such closure, for a period of at least 3 consecutive Business Days.

XXX.

Surrender of Premises.

At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession, Tenant shall remove Tenant’s Property (defined in Article XV) from the Premises, and quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean, and in good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty for which Landlord is required to make repairs hereunder excepted. Tenant shall also be required to remove the Required Removables in accordance with Article VIII. If Tenant fails to remove any of Tenant’s Property within 10 Business Days after the termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall be entitled (but not obligated) to remove and store Tenant’s Property, Landlord shall not be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping of Tenant’s Property. Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, the expenses and storage charges incurred for Tenant’s Property. In addition, if Tenant fails to remove Tenant’s Property from the Premises or storage at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, as

 

35.

 



 

the case may be, within 30 days after written notice, Landlord may deem all or any part of Tenant’s Property to be abandoned, and title to Tenant’s Property shall be deemed to be immediately vested in Landlord.

XXXI.

WORK LETTER

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Lease by and between CA-SEAPORT CENTRE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”) and CARDICA, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”) for space in the Building located at 900 Saginaw Drive, Redwood City, California.

As used in this Work Letter, the “Premises” shall be deemed to mean the Premises, as initially defined in the attached Lease.

1.

Alterations and Allowance.

 

A.

Tenant, following the Delivery Date (as defined in the Lease to which this Exhibit is attached) shall have the right to perform alterations and improvements in the Premises (the “Initial Alterations”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant and its contractors shall not have the right to perform Initial Alterations in the Premises unless and until Tenant has complied with all of the terms and conditions of Article IX of the Lease, including, without limitation, approval by Landlord of the final plans for the Initial Alterations and the contractors to be retained by Tenant to perform such Initial Alterations to the extent provided herein. Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the design of Tenant’s plans (including, without limitation, compliance with law, functionality of design, the structural integrity of the design, the configuration of the premises and the placement of Tenant’s furniture, appliances and equipment), and Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans shall in no event relieve Tenant of the responsibility for such design. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant to identify up to four (4) contractors (one of which shall be Venture Builders) that Landlord would approve to perform the Initial Alterations and to which Tenant would submit a bid request in connection with the Initial Alterations, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The parties agree that Landlord’s approval of the general contractor to perform the Initial Alterations shall not be considered to be unreasonably withheld it any such general contractor (i) does not have trade references reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (ii) does not maintain insurance as required pursuant to the terms of this Lease, (iii) does not have the ability to be bonded for the work in an amount of no less than 150% of the total estimated cost of the Initial Alterations, (iv) does not provide current financial statements reasonably acceptable to Landlord, or (v) is not licensed as a contractor in the state/municipality in which the Premises is located. Tenant acknowledges the foregoing is not intended to be an exclusive list of the reasons why Landlord may reasonably withhold its consent to a general contractor. Tenant shall solicit bids for the mechanical, electrical and plumbing (“MEP”) portions of the Initial Alterations from all MEP subcontractors set forth on the approved list provided by Landlord to Tenant (“Pre-approved MEP Subcontractors”), as well as from Future Air (mechanical), Serrano (electrical) and Greater Bay Mechanical (plumbing) (each of the latter an “Alternate MEP Subcontractor”). Tenant shall use a Pre-approved MEP Subcontractor for each trade in connection with the Initial Alterations, unless the bid obtained from the Alternate MEP Subcontractor for such trade is lower than the lowest bid for such trade from a Pre-approved MEP Contractor by more than three percent (3%), in

 

1.

 



 

which case Tenant may use the Alternate MEP Subcontractor providing such low bid for such trade.

 

B.

Provided Tenant is not in default, Landlord agrees to contribute the sum of $621,240.00 (the “Allowance”) toward the cost of performing the Initial Alterations in preparation of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises. The Allowance may be used for the cost of (1) preparing design and construction documents and mechanical and electrical plans for the Initial Alterations, (2) hard costs in connection with the construction of Initial Alterations, (3) telecommunications equipment and installation, (4) manufacturing of Tenant’s signage for the Building, as otherwise permitted under the Lease, (5) third party consultants’ and attorneys’ fees, but only as incurred in connection with the design, permitting and construction of the Initial Improvements, (6) moving costs (7) furniture systems, cabling and other specialty trade fixtures and equipment, and (8) installing Tenant’s signage on the Monument Sign, as provided in Section V of Exhibit E to the Lease; provided that at least 75% of the Allowance actually used by Tenant for the Initial Alterations must be applied towards costs set forth in Clause (2) above. The Allowance, less a 10% retainage (which retainage shall be payable as part of the final draw), shall be paid to Tenant or, at Landlord’s option, to the order of the general contractor that performs the Initial Alterations, in periodic disbursements within 20 days after receipt of the following documentation: (i) an application for payment and sworn statement of contractor substantially in the form of AIA Document G-702 covering all work for which disbursement is to be made to a date specified therein; (ii) a certification from an AIA architect substantially in the form of the Architect’s Certificate for Payment which is located on AIA Document G702, Application and Certificate of Payment; (iii) Contractor’s, subcontractor’s and material supplier’s waivers of liens which shall cover all Initial Alterations for which disbursement is being requested and all other statements and forms required for compliance with the mechanics’ lien laws of the state in which the Premises is located; (iv) a cost breakdown for each trade or subcontractor performing the Initial Alterations; (v) copies of all change orders, if any; and (vi) a request to disburse from Tenant containing an approval by Tenant of the work done and a good faith estimate of the cost to complete the Initial Alterations. Upon completion of the Initial Alterations, and prior to final disbursement of the Allowance, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with: (1) general contractor and architect’s completion affidavits in the form specified by AIA Document A201, (2) full and final waivers of lien in the form of AIA Document G-706, (3) as-built plans of the Initial Alterations, and (4) the certification of Tenant’s architect that the Initial Alterations have been installed in accordance with the approved plans. In no event shall Landlord be required to disburse the Allowance more than one time per month. If the Initial Alterations exceed the Allowance, Tenant shall be entitled to the Allowance in accordance with the terms hereof, but each individual disbursement of the Allowance shall be disbursed in the proportion that the Allowance bears to the total cost for the Initial Alterations, less the 10% retainage referenced above. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to disburse any portion of the Allowance during the continuance of an uncured default under the Lease, and Landlord’s obligation to disburse shall only resume when and if such default is cured.

 

2.

 



 

 

 

C.

In no event shall the Allowance be used for the purchase of equipment, furniture or other items of personal property of Tenant, except as specifically provided in Section I.B above. If Tenant does not submit a request for payment of the entire Allowance to Landlord in accordance with the provisions contained in this Exhibit by the date that is 90 days after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall be entitled to reduce the Security Deposit by an amount equal to the unused Allowance (but in no event shall such Tenant thereby be entitled to reduce the Security Deposit by more than $200,000.00) (as so capped, the “Unused Allowance”) in accordance with the provisions of Article VI of the Lease. For example, if the Unused Allowance is $150,000.00, the Security Deposit set forth in Section I of the Basic Lease Information ($500,000.00) shall be reduced to $350,000.00, and if the Unused Allowance is $250,000.00, the Security Deposit set forth in Section I of the Basic Lease Information shall be reduced to $300,000.00. Tenant shall be responsible for all applicable state sales or use taxes, if any, payable in connection with the Initial Alterations and/or Allowance.

 

D.

Except as specifically provided herein and in the Lease, Tenant agrees to accept the Premises in its “as-is” condition and configuration, it being agreed that Landlord shall not be required to perform any work or, except as provided above with respect to the Allowance, incur any costs in connection with the construction or demolition of any improvements in the Premises.

 

E.

This Exhibit shall not be deemed applicable to any additional space added to the Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease of otherwise, or to any portion of the original Premises or any additions to the Premises in the event of a renewal or extension of the original Term of the Lease, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any amendment or supplement to the Lease.

 

F.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Lease, in no event shall Landlord charge any direct or third party construction management fee, supervision fee, plan review fee or other administered charge related to or in connection with the construction of the Initial Alterations.

 

G.

In the event any Hazardous Materials (as defined in the Lease) are discovered or are present at the Premises as of the Delivery Date, none of the Allowance shall be used or applied to remediate or remove any of such Hazardous Materials, any remediation and/or removal shall be the sole obligation, responsibility and liability of Landlord and none of the cost thereof shall be part of Expenses.

 

H.

In the event that Tenant requests any changes to the approved plans for the Initial Alterations, Landlord shall rot unreasonably withhold its consent to any such changes, and shall respond to such changes within three (3) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of same. If such changes increase the cost of constructing the Initial Alterations, the cost of same shall be deducted from the Allowance and, if exhausted, Tenant shall pay such increased costs on a monthly basis according to the invoices for such costs on a percentage completion basis.

EXHIBIT F

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Lease by and between CA-SEAPORT CENTRE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”) and CARDICA, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”) for space in the Building located at 900 Saginaw Drive, Redwood City, California.

I.

Renewal Option.

 

A.

Grant of Option; Conditions. Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term (the “Renewal Option”) for one additional period of three (3) years commencing on the day following the Termination Date of the initial Term and ending on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Termination Date (the “Renewal Term”), if:

 

1.

Landlord receives notice of exercise (“Initial Renewal Notice”) not less than 6 full calendar months prior to the expiration of the initial Term and not more than 12 full calendar months prior to the expiration of the initial Term; and

 

2.

Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable cure periods at the time that Tenant delivers its Initial Renewal Notice or at the time Tenant delivers its Binding Notice (as defined below); and

 

3.

No part of the Premises is sublet (other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, as defined in Article XII of the Lease) at the time that Tenant delivers its Initial Renewal Notice or at the time Tenant delivers its Binding Notice; and

 

4.

The Lease has not been assigned (other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, as defined in Article XII of the Lease) prior to the date that Tenant delivers its Initial Renewal Notice or prior to the date Tenant delivers its Binding Notice.

 

B.

Terms Applicable to Premises During Renewal Term.

 

1.

The initial Base Rent rate per rentable square foot for the Premises during the Renewal Term shall equal the Prevailing Market rate (hereinafter defined) per rentable square foot for the Premises. Base Rent during the Renewal Term shall increase, if at all, in accordance with the increases assumed in the determination of Prevailing Market rate. Base Rent attributable to the Premises shall be payable in monthly installments in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article IV of the Lease.

 

2.

Tenant shall pay Additional Rent (i.e. Taxes and Expenses) for the Premises during the Renewal Term in accordance with the terms of Article IV of the Lease, and the manner and method in which Tenant reimburses Landlord for Tenant’s share of Taxes and Expenses and the Base Year, if any, applicable to such matter, shall be some of the factors

 

1.

 



 

considered in determining the Prevailing Market rate for the Renewal Term.

 

C.

Initial Procedure for Determining Prevailing Market. Within 30 days after receipt of Tenant’s Initial Renewal Notice, Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing of the applicable Base Rent rate for the Premises for the Renewal Term. Tenant, within 15 days after the date on which Tenant receives notice from Landlord of the applicable Base Rent rate for the Renewal Term, shall either (i) give Landlord final binding written notice (“Binding Notice”) of Tenant’s exercise of its Renewal Option, or (ii) if Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination, provide Landlord with written notice of rejection (the “Rejection Notice”). If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with either a Binding Notice or Rejection Notice within such 15 day period, Tenant’s Renewal Option shall be null and void and of no further force and effect. If Tenant provides Landlord with a Binding Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Renewal Amendment (as defined below) upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. If Tenant provides Landlord with a Rejection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to agree upon the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during the Renewal Term. Upon agreement, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Renewal Amendment in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon the Prevailing Market rate within 30 days after the date Tenant provides Landlord with the Rejection Notice, Tenant, by written notice to Landlord (the “Arbitration Notice”) within 5 days after the expiration of such 30 day period, shall have the right to have the Prevailing Market rate determined in accordance with the arbitration procedures described in Section D below. If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon the Prevailing Market rate within the 30 day period described and Tenant fails to timely exercise its right to arbitrate, Tenant’s Renewal Option shall be deemed to be null and void and of no further force and effect.

 

D.

Arbitration Procedure.

 

1.

If Tenant provides Landlord with an Arbitration Notice, Landlord and Tenant, within 5 days after the date of the Arbitration Notice, shall each simultaneously submit to the other, in a sealed envelope, its good faith estimate of the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during the Renewal Term (collectively referred to as the “Estimates”). If the higher of such Estimates is not more than 105% of the lower of such Estimates, then Prevailing Market rate shall be the average of the two Estimates. If the Prevailing Market rate is not resolved by the exchange of Estimates, then, within 7 days after the exchange of Estimates, Landlord and Tenant shall each select an appraiser to determine which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during the Renewal Term. Each appraiser so selected shall be certified as an MAI appraiser or as an ASA appraiser and shall have had at least 5 years experience within the previous 10 years as a real estate appraiser working in the Redwood City area, with working knowledge of current rental rates and practices. For purposes hereof, an “MAI” appraiser means an individual who holds an MAI designation conferred by, and is an independent member of, the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (or its successor organization, or in the event there is no

 

2.

 



 

successor organization, the organization and designation most similar), and an “ASA” appraiser means an individual who holds the Senior Member designation conferred by, and is an independent member of, the American Society of Appraisers (or its successor organization, or, in the event there is no successor organization, the organization and designation most similar).

 

2.

Upon selection, Landlord’s and Tenant’s appraisers shall work together in good faith to agree upon which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises. The Estimate chosen by such appraisers shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant as the Base Rent rate for the Premises during the Renewal Term, subject to the terms of Section D.4 below regarding the Minimum Renewal Base Rent, as defined therein. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser within the 7 day period referred to above, the appraiser appointed by the other party shall be the sole appraiser for the purposes hereof. If the two appraisers cannot agree upon which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market within 20 days after their appointment, then, within 10 days after the expiration of such 20 day period, the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser meeting the aforementioned criteria. Once the third appraiser (i.e. arbitrator) has been selected as provided for above, then, as soon thereafter as practicable but in any case within 14 days, the arbitrator shall make his determination of which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market rate and such Estimate shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant as the Base Rent rate for the Premises, subject to the terms of Section D.4 below regarding the Minimum Renewal Base Rent, as defined therein. If the arbitrator believes that expert advice would materially assist him, he may retain one or more qualified persons to provide such expert advice. The parties shall share equally in the costs of the arbitrator and of any experts retained by the arbitrator. Any fees of any appraiser, counsel or experts engaged directly by Landlord or Tenant, however, shall be borne by the party retaining such appraiser, counsel or expert.

 

3.

If the Prevailing Market rate has not been determined by the commencement date of the Renewal Term, Tenant shall pay Base Rent upon the terms and conditions in effect during the last month of the initial Term for the Premises until such time as the Prevailing Market rate has been determined. Upon such determination, the Base Rent for the Premises shall be retroactively adjusted to the commencement of the Renewal Term for the Premises. If such adjustment results in an underpayment of Base Rent by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such underpayment within 30 days after the determination thereof. If such adjustment results in an overpayment of Base Rent by Tenant, Landlord shall credit such overpayment against the next installment of Base Rent due under the Lease and, to the extent necessary, any subsequent installments, until the entire amount of such overpayment has been credited against Base Rent.

 

3.

 



 

 

 

4.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties agree that the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during any year of the Renewal Term shall not be less than 100% of the Base Rent rate, per rentable square foot per annum, applicable during the last year of the initial Term (the “Minimum Renewal Term Base Rent Rate”), regardless of any determination of Prevailing Market rate made by the appraisers or arbitrator, as described above.

 

E.

Renewal Amendment. If Tenant is entitled to and properly exercises its Renewal Option, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the “Renewal Amendment”) to reflect changes in the Base Rent, Term, Termination Date and other appropriate terms. The Renewal Amendment shall be sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after receipt of the Binding Notice and Tenant shall execute and return the Renewal Amendment to Landlord within 15 days after Tenant’s receipt of same, but, upon final determination of the Prevailing Market rate applicable during the Renewal Term as described herein, an otherwise valid exercise of the Renewal Option shall be fully effective whether or not the Renewal Amendment is executed.

 

F.

Prevailing Market. For purposes hereof, “Prevailing Market” shall mean the arms length fair market annual rental rate per rentable square foot under renewal leases and amendments entered into on or about the date on which the Prevailing Market is being determined hereunder for space comparable to the Premises in the Building and office buildings comparable to the Building in the Redwood City area. The determination of Prevailing Market shall take into account any material economic differences between the terms of this Lease and any comparison lease or amendment, such as rent abatements, construction costs and other concessions and the manner, if any, in which the landlord under any such lease is reimbursed for operating expenses and taxes.

II.

Right of First Offer.

 

A.

Grant of Option; Conditions. Tenant shall have the one time right of first offer (the “Right of First Offer”) with respect to the remaining portion of the second (2nd) floor of the Building, consisting of approximately 10,000 rentable square feet, shown on the demising plan attached hereto as Exhibit F-1 (the “Offering Space”). Tenant’s Right of First Offer shall be exercised as follows: at any time after Landlord has determined that the tenant that first enters into a lease for all or a portion of tile Offering Space after the date of this Lease will not extend or renew the term of its lease for the Offering Space (but prior to leasing such Offering Space to a party other than such initial tenant), Landlord shall advise Tenant (the “Advice”) of the terms under which Landlord is prepared to lease the Offering Space to Tenant for the remainder of the Term, which terms shall reflect the First Offer Prevailing Market (hereinafter defined) rate for such Offering Space as reasonably determined by Landlord. Tenant may lease such Offering Space in its entirety only, under such terms, by delivering written notice of exercise to Landlord (the “Notice of Exercise”) within 10 days after the date of the Advice, except that Tenant shall have no such Right of First Offer and Landlord need not provide Tenant with an Advice, if:

2.

Tenant shall pay Base Rent and Additional Rent for the Offering Space in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Advice, which terms and conditions shall reflect the First Offer Prevailing Market rate for the Offering Space as determined in Landlord’s reasonable judgment.

 

3.

The Offering Space (including improvements and personality, if any) shall be accepted by Tenant in its condition and as-built configuration existing on the earlier of the date Tenant takes possession of the Offering Space or as of the date the term for such Offering Space commences, unless the Advice specifies any work to be performed by Landlord in the Offering Space, in which case Landlord shall perform such work in the Offering Space. If Landlord is delayed delivering possession of the Offering Space due to the holdover or unlawful possession of such space by any party, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain possession of the space, and the commencement of the term for the Offering Space shall be postponed until the date Landlord delivers possession of the Offering Space to Tenant free from occupancy by any party.

 

C.

Termination of Right of First Offer. The rights of Tenant hereunder with respect to the Offering Space shall terminate on the earlier to occur of: (i) the original Termination Date; (ii) Tenant’s failure to exercise its Right of First Offer within the 10 day period provided in Section A above; and (iii) the date Landlord would have provided Tenant an Advice if Tenant had not been in violation of one or mere of the conditions set forth in Section A above.

From and after such notice by Landlord, Tenant shall have no further right to operate the Generator or Tank unless and until Tenant, at Tenant’s sole election, shall have redesigned and modified the Generator, Tank and/or installations in a manner approved by Landlord, provided however, that Landlord’s approval of such redesign and modification shall constitute the mere permission to operate the Generator and the Tank, which permission shall in no event be construed to abrogate or diminish Landlord’s rights or Tenant’s obligations under this Section VI of Exhibit E or the Lease.

VII.

USE OF DISH/ANTENNA.

 

A.

Tenant, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section VII of Exhibit E, shall have the right, but only to the extent such right is available to Landlord to grant and without representation or warranty except as expressly provided below, to the exclusive right to use the existing satellite dish(es)/antenna(e) (collectively the “Dish/Antenna”) located as of the date of the Lease on the roof of the Building, to provide communications services to the Premises during the Term. Landlord represents that Landlord has not granted (other than to Prior Tenant), and covenants that Landlord will not during the Term grant, the right to use the Dish/Antenna to any other tenant of the Building or Campus.

 

12.

 



 

 

 

B.

Tenant acknowledges that the Dish/Antenna was installed by Prior Tenant (as defined in Section VI above), and that Landlord is in the process of trying to obtain title to the Dish/Antenna from Prior Tenant and makes no representation or warranty to Tenant with respect to the current ownership of or title to the Dish/Antenna. Landlord further makes no representation or warranty as to the fitness of the Dish/Antenna for Tenant’s proposed use thereof, or the condition of the Dish/Antenna or the compliance thereof with applicable Laws. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant shall use the Dish/Antenna at Tenant’s sole risk and the Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant in connection therewith. TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE TO TENANT OR TENANTS PROPERTY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO TENANT’S USE OF THE DISH/ANTENNA OR EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS SECTION VII OF EXHIBIT E, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE RESULTS FROM LANDLORD’S ACTIVE NEGLIGENCE OR NEGLIGENT OMISSION: PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT APPLY TO LANDLORD’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

 

C.

The location(s) of the Dish/Antenna on the roof is collectively referred to herein as the “Roof Space”. Landlord reserves the right to relocate the Roof Space as reasonably necessary during the Term, but taking into account Tenant’s use of the Dish/Antenna. Tenant’s right to use the Dish/Antenna shall be subject to the reasonable approval rights of Landlord with respect to the manner in which any new or additional cables are run to and from the Dish/Antenna. If Landlord or Tenant determines that the Dish/Antenna installation by Prior Tenant was defective, Tenant shall not use the Dish/Antenna unless and until Tenant, at Tenant’s option, has cured such defects at Tenant’s sole cost.

 

D.

Landlord agrees that Tenant, upon reasonable prior written notice to Landlord, shall have access to the roof of the Building and the Roof Space for the purpose of maintaining and repairing the Dish/Antenna and any appurtenances thereto, all of which shall be performed by Tenant or Tenant’s authorized representative or contractors, which shall be approved by Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and risk. It is agreed, however, that only authorized engineers, employees or properly authorized contractors of Tenant, FCC (defined below) inspectors, or persons under their direct supervision will be permitted to have access to the roof of the Building and the Roof Space. Tenant further agrees to exercise firm control over the people requiring access to the roof of the Building and the Roof Space in order to keep to a minimum the number of people having access to the roof of the Building and the Roof Space and the frequency of their visits.

 

E.

It is further understood and agreed that the maintenance and operation of the Dish/Antenna is not permitted to damage the Building or the roof thereof, or interfere with the use of the Building and roof by Landlord. Tenant agrees to be responsible for any damage caused to the roof or any other part of the Building, which may be caused by Tenant or any of its agents or representatives.

 

F.

Tenant agrees to use the Dish/Antenna only to the extent that the frequencies used will not cause unreasonable interference to Landlord or existing tenants of the Building. In the event the Dish/Antenna causes such interference, Tenant will

 

13.

 



 

change the frequency on which it transmits and/or receives and take any other steps necessary to eliminate the interference. If said interference cannot be eliminated within a reasonable period of time, in the judgment of Landlord, then Tenant agrees to cease using the Dish/Antenna.

 

G.

Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, and at its sole risk, operate and maintain the Dish/Antenna in compliance with all Building, electric, communication, and safety codes, ordinances, standards, regulations and requirements, now in effect or hereafter promulgated, of the Federal Government, including, without limitation, the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”), the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) or any successor agency of either the FCC or FAA having jurisdiction over radio or telecommunications, and of the state, city and county in which the Building is located. Under this Lease, the Landlord and its agents assume no responsibility for the licensing, operation and/or maintenance of Tenant’s equipment. Tenant has the responsibility of carrying out the terms of its FCC license in all respects. The Dish/Antenna shall be connected to Landlord’s power supply in strict compliance with all applicable Building, electrical, fire and safety codes. Neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable to Tenant for any stoppages or shortages of electrical power furnished to the Dish/Antenna or the Roof Space because of any act, omission or requirement of the public utility serving the Building, or the act or omission of any other tenant, invitee or licensee or their respective agents, employees or contractors, or for any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any rental abatement for any such stoppage or shortage of electrical power. Neither Landlord nor its agents shall have any responsibility or liability for the conduct or safety of any of Tenant’s representatives, repair, maintenance and engineering personnel while in or on any part of the Building or the Roof Space.

 

H.

In light of the specialized nature of the Dish/Antenna, Tenant shall be permitted to utilize the services of its choice for operation and repair of the Dish/Antenna and the appurtenances, if any, subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant must provide Landlord with prior written notice of any such repair and coordinate such work with Landlord in order to avoid voiding or otherwise adversely affecting any warranties granted to Landlord with respect to the roof. If necessary, upon written notice from Landlord Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall retain any contractor having a then existing warranty in effect on the roof to perform such work (to the extent that it involves the roof), or, at Tenant’s option, to perform such work in conjunction with Tenant’s contractor. In the event the Landlord contemplates roof repairs that could affect the Dish/Antenna, or which may result in an interruption of the Tenant’s telecommunication service, Landlord shall formally notify Tenant at least 30 days in advance (except in cases of an emergency) prior to the commencement of such contemplated work in order to allow Tenant to make other arrangements for such service.

 

I.

Tenant shall not allow any provider of telecommunication, video, data or related services (“Communication Services”) to locate any equipment on the roof of the Building or in the Roof Space for any purpose whatsoever, nor may Tenant use the Roof Space and/or Dish/Antenna to provide Communication Services to an unaffiliated tenant, occupant or licensee of another building, or to facilitate the

 

14.

 



 

 

 

provision of Communication Services on behalf of another Communication Services provider to an unaffiliated tenant, occupant or licensee of the Building or any other building.

 

J.

Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may at some time establish a standard license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with respect to the use of roof space by tenants of the Building. Tenant, upon request of Landlord, shall enter into such License Agreement with Landlord provided that such agreement does not materially alter the rights of Tenant hereunder with respect to the Roof Space or impose any fee upon Tenant for the use of the Roof Space or Dish/Antenna.

 

K.

Tenant specifically acknowledges and agrees that the terms and conditions of Article XIV of the Lease (Indemnity and Waiver of Claims) shall apply with full force and effect to the Roof Space and any other portions of the roof accessed or utilized by Tenant, its representatives, agents, employees or contractors.

 

L.

If Tenant defaults under any of the terms and conditions of this Section or the Lease, and Tenant fails to cure said default within the time allowed by Article XIX of the Lease, Landlord shall be permitted to exercise all remedies provided under the terms of the Lease, including removing the Dish/Antenna.

PARKING AGREEMENT

This Exhibit (the “Parking Agreement”) is attached to and made a part of the Lease by and between CA-SEAPORT CENTRE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”) and CARDICA, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”) for space in the Building located at 900 Saginaw Drive, Redwood City, California.

1.

The capitalized terms used in this Parking Agreement shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Lease to the extent that such capitalized terms are defined therein and not redefined in this Parking Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the Lease and this Parking Agreement, the latter shall control.

2.

Landlord hereby grants to Tenant and persons designated by Tenant a license to use 96 non-reserved parking spaces in the parking facility servicing the Building (“Parking Facility”). The term of such license shall commence on the Delivery Date under the Lease and shall continue until the earlier to occur of the Termination Date under the Lease, the sooner termination of the Lease, or Tenants abandonment of the Premises thereunder. During the term of the Lease and any extensions thereof, Tenant shall not be required to pay Landlord any monthly charges for use of the non-reserved parking spaces set forth above. Tenant may, from time to time request additional parking spaces, and if Landlord shall provide the same, such parking spaces shall be provided and used on a month-to-month basis, and otherwise on the foregoing terms and provisions, and at such prevailing monthly parking charges as shall be established from time to time.

3.

Tenant shall at all times comply with all applicable ordinances, rules, regulations, codes, laws, statutes and requirements of all federal, state, county and municipal governmental bodies or their subdivisions respecting the use of the Parking Facility. Landlord reserves the right to adopt, modify and enforce reasonable rules (“Rules”) governing the use of the Parking Facility from time to time including any key-card, sticker or other identification or entrance system and hours of operation. The Rules set forth herein are currently in effect. Landlord may refuse to permit any person who violates such Rules to park in the Parking Facility, and any violation of the Rules shall subject the car to removal from the Parking Facility.

4.

Unless specified to the contrary above, the parking spaces hereunder shall be provided on a non-designated “first-come, first-served” basis. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has no liability for claims arising through acts or omissions of any independent operator of the Parking Facility. Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever for any damage to items located in the Parking Facility, nor for any personal injuries or death arising out of any matter relating to the Parking Facility, and in all events, Tenant agrees to look first to its insurance carrier and to require that Tenant’s employees look first to their respective insurance carriers for payment of any losses sustained in connection with any use of the Parking Facility. Tenant hereby waives on behalf of its insurance carriers all rights of subrogation against Landlord or Landlord’s agents. Landlord reserves the right to assign specific parking spaces, and to reserve parking spaces for visitors, small cars, handicapped persons and for other tenants, guests of tenants or other parties, which assignment and reservation or spaces may be relocated as reasonably determined by Landlord from time to time, and Tenant and persons designated by Tenant hereunder

 

1.

 



 

shall not park in any location designated for such assigned or reserved parking spaces. Tenant acknowledges that the Parking Facility may be closed entirely or in part in order to make repairs or perform maintenance services, or to alter, modify, re-stripe or renovate the Parking Facility, or if required by casualty, strike, condemnation, act of God, governmental law or requirement or other reason beyond the operator’s reasonable control. In such event, Landlord shall refund any prepaid parking fee hereunder, prorated on a per diem basis.

5.

If Tenant shall default under this Parking Agreement, the operator shall have the right to remove from the Parking Facility any vehicles hereunder which shall have been involved or shall have been owned or driven by parties involved in causing such default, without liability therefor whatsoever. In addition, if Tenant shall default under this Parking Agreement, Landlord shall have the right to cancel this Parking Agreement on 30 days’ written notice, unless within such 30 day period, Tenant cures such default. If Tenant defaults with respect to the same term or condition under this Parking Agreement more than 3 times during any 12 month period, and Landlord notifies Tenant thereof promptly after each such default, the next default of such term or condition during the succeeding 12 month period, shall, at Landlord’s election, constitute an incurable default. Such cancellation right shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Landlord at law or equity, or provided under the Lease (all of which rights and remedies under the Lease are hereby incorporated herein, as though fully set forth). Any default by Tenant under the Lease shall be a default under this Parking Agreement.

FIRST AMENDMENT

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of the 21st day of January, 2004, by and between CA-SEAPORT CENTRE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limit partnership (“Landlord”), and CARDICA, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).

RECITALS

A.

Landlord and Tenant are parties to that certain Office Lease Agreement dated April 25, 2004 (the “Original Lease” as amended hereby, the “Lease”). Pursuant to the Original Lease, Landlord has leased to Tenant space containing approximately 31,062 rentable square feet (the “Premises”) consisting of approximately 20,708 rentable square feet (the “Original First Floor Premises”) described as Suite No. 100 on the 1st floor and approximately 10,354 rentable square feet (the “Second Floor Premises”) described as Suite 200 on the 2nd floor, all in the building located at 900 Saginaw Drive in Redwood City, California (the “Building”) and on the terms and conditions more particularly set forth in the Lease.

B.

Landlord and Tenant desire to correct the description and square footage of the Original First Floor Premises as set forth in the Original Lease and to identify the approximately 1,448 rentable square feet of Common Areas (as defined in the Original Lease) on the 1st floor of the Building and more particularly shown on Exhibit A hereto (the “First Floor Common Area”), and to amend the Original Lease as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

I.

Amendment. Effective as of the date hereof (unless different effective date(s) is/are specifically referenced in this Section), Landlord and Tenant agree that the Original Lease shall be amended in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

 

A.

First Floor Premises and First Floor Common Area.

 

1.

Descriptions. Effective February 1, 2004 (the “Effective Date”), the Original First Floor Premises are hereby decreased from 20,708 rentable square feet to 19,260 rentable square feet by the elimination of the First Floor Common Area. As of the Effective Date, the First Floor Common Area shall be deemed surrendered by Tenant to Landlord, the Lease shall be deemed terminated with respect to the First Floor Common Area, and the “First Floor Premises”, as defined in the Original Lease, shall be deemed to mean the Original First Floor Premises, less the First Floor Common Area. Notwithstanding anything in the Original Lease to the contrary, thereafter the First Floor Common Area shall be considered part of the Common Areas of the Building. Tenant shall fully comply with all obligations under the Lease respecting the First Floor Common Area up to the Effective Date.

 

2.

Common Area Work. Promptly following the date hereof, Landlord shall commence and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion the following

 

1.

 



 

improvements to the First Floor Common Area, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense and using Building standard methods, finishes and materials, and all as more particularly shown on Exhibit B hereto (collectively, the “Common Area Work”):

 

Demising the First Floor Common Area from the First Floor Premises (as reduced hereby) to create a common lobby area, provide common access to the elevator, and provide a rear exit corridor from the rear stairs;

 

Installing a card key access system to Tenant’s “medium conference room” adjacent to the elevator lobby; and

 

Moving the door to the small conference room designated as “Dir. Legal, VP Legal” to the other end of the room so that the entrance is within the First Floor Premises.

Landlord and Tenant shall continue to cooperate to allow Landlord to complete the Common Area Work as soon as practicable following the date of this Amendment. Landlord shall be responsible for performing the Common Area Work in compliance with applicable Laws.

 

3.

Base Rent. The Monthly Base Rent for the First Floor Premises set forth in Section I.E of the Original Lease shall be reduced from $23,814.20 to $22,149.00 for the 7th through the 24th month of the Term to reflect the reduced square footage of the First Floor Premises.

In addition, the Base Rent Table set forth in Section I.E of the Original Lease pertaining to Months 25 through 60 of the Term is hereby replaced with the following, to reflect the reduced square footage of the First Floor Premises:

Months of Term

Annual Rate
Per Square Foot

Annual
Base Rent

Monthly
Base Rent

Months 25 – 36

$15.00

$444,210.00

Pro Rata Share. Tenant’s Pro Rata Share for the 7th through 24th months of the Term, as set forth in Section l.F of the Lease, shall be reduced from 7.2053% to 6.7015%, and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share for the 25th month through the remainder of the Term, as set forth in Section I.F of the Lease, shall be reduced from 10.8080% to 10.3041%, to reflect the reduced square footage of the First Floor Premises. Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall remain subject to adjustment in the event of Early Occupancy as set forth in Section I.F of the Original Lease, as modified by Paragraph I.6 below.

 

B.

Occupancy of Second Floor Premises. Section III.C of the Original Lease is hereby amended to provide that the following uses of the Second Floor Premises by Tenant shall not be deemed Early Occupancy (and accordingly shall not trigger an increase in Tenant’s Pro Rata Share as set forth in Section I.F of the Original Lease): general storage purposes, storage of fitness equipment and use

 

2.

 



 

thereof by Tenant’s employees, and occasional, intermittent, non-persistent uses such as the holding of all-hands meetings; provided that the general conducting of business from the Second Floor Premises shall be considered Early Occupancy.

 

C.

Second Floor Premises Security System. Subject to the terms of the Lease, including, without limitation Section IX.C thereof, Tenant may, at its own expense except as expressly provide in this Paragraph I.C, install its own security system on the second floor to control access to the Second Floor Premises (“Tenant’s Security System”); provided, however, that Tenant shall coordinate the installation and operation of Tenant’s Security System with Landlord to assure that Tenant’s Security System is compatible with the Building’s systems and equipment. Subject to the foregoing, and so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the actual, reasonable third-party costs incurred by Tenant to install Tenant’s Security System on the second floor, up to a maximum of $2,000.00, within 30 days of Landlord’s receipt of written request for reimbursement accompanied by final receipts documenting such costs. Tenant shall be solely responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for the monitoring, operation and removal upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of Tenant’s Security System.

 

D.

Parking. Tenant shall be entitled to convert 2 of the 96 non-reserved parking spaces provided to Tenant in the Parking Agreement attached to the Original Lease into 2 reserved spaces near the shipping and receiving area of the Building at no charge through the initial Term or any extensions thereof. The remaining 94 spaces shall remain non-reserved.

II.

Miscellaneous.

 

A.

This Amendment and Exhibits A and B attached hereto set forth the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein. There have been no additional oral or written representations or agreements. Under no circumstances shall Tenant be entitled to any Rent abatement, improvement allowance, leasehold improvements, or other work to the Premises, or any similar economic incentives that may have been provided Tenant in connection with entering into the Lease, unless specifically set forth in this Amendment.

 

B.

Except as herein modified or amended, the provisions, conditions and terms of the Original Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

 

C.

In the case of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Original Lease and this Amendment, the provisions of this Amendment shall govern and control.

 

D.

Submission of this Amendment by Landlord is not an offer to enter into this Amendment but rather is a solicitation for such an offer by Tenant. Landlord shall not be bound by this Amendment until Landlord has executed and delivered the same to Tenant.

 

3.

 



 

 

 

E.

The capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Original Lease to the extent that such capitalized terms are defined therein and not redefined in this Amendment.

 

F.

Tenant hereby represents to Landlord that Tenant has dealt with no broker in connection with this Amendment. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord, its members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, mortgagee(s) and agents, and the respective principals and members of any such agents (collectively, the “Landlord Related Parties”) harmless from all claims of any brokers claiming to have represented Tenant in connection with this Amendment. Landlord hereby represents to Tenant that Landlord has dealt with no broker in connection with this Amendment. Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant, its members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, and agents, and the respective principals and members of any such agents (collectively, the “Tenant Related Parties”) harmless from all claims of any brokers claiming to have represented Landlord in connection with this Amendment. Equity Office Properties Management Corp. (“EOPMC”) is an affiliate of Landlord and represents only the Landlord in this transaction. Any assistance rendered by any agent or employee of EOPMC in connection with this Amendment or any subsequent amendment or modification hereto has been or will be made as an accommodation to Tenant solely in furtherance of consummating the transaction on behalf of Landlord, and not as agent for Tenant.

 

G.

Each signatory of this Amendment represents hereby that he or she has the authority to execute and deliver the same on behalf of the party hereto for which such signatory is acting.

 

H.

Tenant agrees that neither Tenant nor its agents or any other parties acting on behalf of Tenant shall disclose any matters set forth in this Amendment or disseminate or distribute any information concerning the terms, details or conditions hereof to any person, firm or entity without obtaining the express written consent of Landlord.
