AMENDMENT TO LEASE
THIS AMENDMENT TO LEASE, being entered into this 3rd day of October, 2005, between 2101 Williams Associates, LLC, a California limited liability company, hereinafter called Lessor, and Energy Recovery, Inc., a Delaware corporation (ERI), hereinafter called Lessee, covering the premises commonly referred to as 1908 Doolittle Drive, San Leandro, California.
Lessor and Lessee hereby amend that certain Lease between them dated February 28, 2005 as follows:
1.   The term of the Lease shall be changed to commence on June 15, 2005, and end on June 14, 2010. The rent increase shall be effective on December 15, 2007.
 
2.   The premises as defined in paragraph 1.2a of the Lease are hereby expanded to include that certain approximately 4,072 SF of warehouse and office commonly known as 2181 Williams Street (Expansion Area) and outlined in green on Exhibit “A” attached hereto.
 
    Lessee’s total revised square footage, including the Expansion Area referenced above, has herein been increased to approximately 26,254 square feet, including 8,847 SF of office and 17,407 SF of warehouse and manufacturing space.
 
3.   Lessor agrees at its sole cost and expense and as soon as it can reasonably be accomplished following the execution of this Amendment, to commence and prosecute to completion in a diligent and good and workmanlike manner the construction and delivery of the improvements to the Expansion Area as set forth in Exhibit “C.” Lessee understands that facets of the renovation and construction of said improvements will cause some inconvenience to Lessee and disruption of normal operations, including but not limited to the creation of dust and noise.
 
4.   The parties hereto are aiming toward substantial completion and delivery of the Expansion Area to the Lessee on October 15, 2005; provided that Lessor is not delayed by causes beyond its control, which shall include but not be limited to any unanticipated delays due to obtaining any necessary building permits, any delays in construction due to fires, unusually severe weather, labor problems including strikes or slowdowns, acts of God, and other similar causes, and delays caused by the Lessee or its agents and/or subcontractors. The Expansion Area lease term shall end coterminous with the initial Premises on June 14, 2010.
 
    Should Lessor fail to deliver the Expansion Area by the above date, then the Expansion Area Lease term shall commence upon the date Lessor does substantially complete the above work and delivers possession to Lessee. If the actual lease commencement date of the Expansion Area is other than that set forth above, then Lessor and Lessee shall prepare and execute a Second Amendment to Lease setting forth the revised commencement and termination dates of the Expansion Area Lease term, but failure to execute such an amendment shall not affect the actual commencement date.
 
    “Substantial completion” or “substantially completing” shall be the date as agreed between Lessor and Lessee, or, if the parties cannot so agree, then it shall be upon execution of a certification from the architect or engineer supervising the construction of the Premises that all of the improvements hereto above described have been on the date specified in said certification substantially completed in accordance with the plans and specifications to the extent that Lessee can reasonably and conveniently use and occupy the building and appurtenances for the conduct of its ordinary business and, if required, the issuance of a certificate, or temporary certificate, of occupancy for the Premises. It is understood that Lessee may commence setting up its operations and performing its separate tenant related improvements within the Expansion Area before Lessor substantially completes its construction; however, Lessee agrees that its

 


 

    work shall not interfere with or delay Lessor’s construction, including the date of substantial completion. Nor shall substantial completion be delayed due to Lessee’s delay or failure to perform its tasks or complete any improvements it undertakes.
 
5.   The base monthly rent for the Expansion Area, subject to existing and future increases over base year taxes and insurance and other expenses as set forth in the subject Lease, shall be as follows:
         
10/15/2005 — 12/14/2007
    $3,828.00/month I.G.
12/15/2007 — 06/14/2010
    $3,990.00/month I.G.
    The total base monthly rent for all of Lessee’s premises shall be $21,128.00 ($0.80/SF), and shall increase on December 15, 2007 to $22,180.00 ($0.84/SF).
 
6.   Should the total cost of the improvements to the Expansion Area paid or incurred by Lessor exceed the total budgeted amount set forth in Exhibit “C” to this Lease, then Lessee at its option shall either (1) pay the difference to Lessor in cash within thirty (30) days after Lessor completes the construction and delivers the improved Expansion Area to the Lessee; or (2) amortize the difference as additional rental over the term for the Expansion Area at a 10% annualized interest rate. Lessor will endeavor, in good faith, to provide Lessee with realistic budget estimates, and to timely advise Lessee when said costs have or are expected to change.
 
7.   Lessee shall pay all common area expenses and all utility and service charges for the entire building. Should Lessor lease the vacant premises commonly known as 1906 Doolittle Drive, then Lessee’s share of common area expenses and utilities shall be reduced to its prorata share to be determined as set forth in Paragraph 55 of the Lease.
 
8.   The Security Deposit paid and Escrow Account established pursuant to the Lease shall remain in effect and cover the Expansion Area. At such time that the Escrow Account closes, Lessee shall deposit with Lessor $2,600 as security for 2181 Williams Street.
 
9.   Lessee’s option to renew for one (1) additional five (5) year period at market rents, with six (6) moths prior written notice will apply to the Expansion Area as well.
 
10.   Except as herein specified, all of the other terms and conditions of the subject Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lessor and Lessee have executed this Amendment To Lease the day and year first written above.
