AMENDED AND RESTATED LEASE

521 Cottonwood Drive,

Milpitas, California

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED LEASE, referred to herein as this “Lease,” is made and entered into as of July 27, 2015, by and between BERRUETA FAMILY L.P., a California limited partnership, hereafter referred to as “Lessor,” and MOUSERA, INC., a Delaware corporation, hereafter referred to as “Lessee” or “Mousera”.

RECITALS:

A. Lessor is the owner of the real property located in Milpitas, California, commonly referred to as 521 Cottonwood Drive, consisting of a parcel of land, together with all easements and appurtenances thereto (the “Land”) and the existing building thereon (the “Building”) containing approximately 66,306 rentable square feet and all other improvements located thereon. The Land and Building are referred to herein collectively as the “Property.” The floor plan of the Premises defined in Paragraph 1 is attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and incorporated by reference herein.

B. Lessor and Lessee wish to enter into this Lease of the Premises upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1. Lease.

(a) Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee leases from Lessor, at the rental rate and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Premises (as hereinafter defined). Beginning on the Commencement Date (as defined in Paragraph 2(a)), Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee leases from Lessor, a portion of the Building consisting of approximately Eighteen Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy Nine (18,779) rentable square feet of the Building (the “Premises”), together with the right to use Lessee’s share of the on-site parking spaces pursuant to Paragraph 28, and the non-exclusive right to use the common areas of the Building and the other portions of the Property intended for use in common by the tenants of the Building, including the common restrooms, hallways, lobby, break room and shipping and receiving area, shown on Exhibit “B” hereto, as they may be modified by Lessor (the “Common Areas”). In performing any such modifications to the Common Areas, Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to unreasonably interfere with Lessee’s access to or use of the Premises or Lessee’s parking rights. Further, Lessee shall be allowed to use and install one server rack in the Building’s server/MPOE room. Lessee’s Pro Rata Share shall mean 28.33% (18,779/66,306); provided, however, Lessee’s Pro Rata Share as to utilities shall initially mean 38.5% of utility costs, subject to reasonable adjustment by Lessor, based on Lessee’s particular use of the Premises.

(b) Prior to the Commencement Date, the parties will itemize and list on Exhibit “E” all existing equipment located in the Premises that is owned by Lessor (the “FF&E’). Lessor hereby grants to Lessee a license to use such FF&E during the entire term of this Lease at no additional charge. Lessee agrees to maintain and use the FF&E with care and in a reasonable manner. Lessee shall return such FF&E to Lessor upon Lessee’s surrender of the Premises in substantially the condition existing as of the Commencement Date, normal wear and tear excepted. The FF&E is provided in its “AS IS, WHERE IS” condition, without representation or warranty whatsoever, except that Lessor represents and warrants to Lessee that Lessor owns title to the FF&E and has the right to license such FF&E to Lessee under the terms of this Lease. Lessee shall insure the FF&E under the property insurance policy required under this Lease and pay all taxes, if any, with respect to the FF&E. Lessee shall not remove any of the FF&E from the Premises without the consent of Lessor.

 

1


2. Term.

(a) The term of this Lease (the “term” or the “Term”) shall commence as of August 1 2015 (the “Commencement Date’). At Lessor’s request, the Commencement Date shall be confirmed in writing by Lessor and Lessee by the execution and delivery of the Commencement Memorandum in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C”. Lessor shall deliver to Lessee possession of the portion of the Premises that Lessee is not occupying with the FF&E in place, with all base building mechanical, electrical, plumbing and other base building systems serving the Premises in good working order and repair (but only to the extent consistent with basic lab needs and not including any specialized equipment or FF&E or specialized use of any equipment) (collectively, the “Required Condition). Lessor shall promptly adjust the settings of the Building’s HVAC units serving the Premises as described in Exhibit “F”.

(b) The Term of this Lease shall expire, unless sooner terminated or extended in accordance with the provisions hereof or as permitted by law, on the last day of the eighty-fourth (84th) full calendar month after the Commencement Date.

3. Option to Extend.

(a) Provided Lessee is not in default of its obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period at the time of exercise or on the commencement date of the Extended Term (as hereinafter defined), Lessee shall have one (1) option to extend the Term of this Lease (the “Option to Extend”) for a period of five (5) years (the “Extended Term”) on the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease except that (i) the Monthly Base Rent for the Extended Term shall be adjusted to the Extended Term Rate, as defined in Paragraph 3(c) below, and (iii) Lessee shall accept the Premises in their then “as is” condition and Paragraph 13, subject to and without limiting, Lessor’s maintenance, repair and other obligations under this Lease; it being understood that Tenant Improvements (as defined below), shall not apply to the Extended Term. This Option to Extend is granted for the personal benefit of Mousera and its Permitted Transferee(s) only, and shall be exercisable only by Mousera or a Permitted Transferee (as defined in Paragraph 17(f) below). This option to extend may not be assigned or transferred to any assignee or sublessee, other than a Permitted Transferee, without the prior written consent of Lessor.

(b) Lessee shall give Lessor written notice of its intent to exercise its Option to Extend no earlier than twelve (12) months and no later than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term (the “Option Exercise Period’). If Lessee does not exercise the Option to Extend within the Option Exercise Period, the Option to Extend shall lapse, time being of the essence.

(c) The initial Monthly Base Rent for the Premises during the Extended Term (the “Extended Term Rate”) shall be determined pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 3(c), and shall equal to the then current fair market rental for the Premises as of the commencement of the Extended Term, which shall be based on what a willing new lessee would pay and a willing lessor would accept at arm’s length for comparable premises in the Milpitas, California market of similar age, size, quality of construction and specifications for a lease similar to this Lease for the same uses specified hereunder and taking into consideration that there will be no free rent, improvement allowance, or other rent concessions, and other items that professional real estate brokers or professional real estate appraisers customarily consider, including, but not limited to, space availability, tenant size, distinctions between “gross” and “net” leases, parking charges and any other lease considerations, if any, then being charged or granted by the lessors of such similar commercial building projects.

 

2


(i) Upon the written request by Lessee to Lessor received by Lessor at any time during the Option Exercise Period and prior to the exercise by Lessee of the Option to Extend, Lessor shall, within fifteen (15) days of such request, give Lessee written notice of Lessor’s good faith opinion of the Extended Term Rate. Thereafter, but prior to the end of the Option Exercise Period, Lessee may give Lessor written notice of its intent to exercise its Option to Extend, and Lessor and Lessee shall enter into good faith negotiations in an effort to reach agreement on the Extended Term Rate.

(ii) If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree upon the Extended Term Rate within fifteen (15) days of Lessee’s delivery of the exercise notice to Lessor, said amount shall be determined by appraisal. The appraisal shall be performed by one broker if the parties are able to agree upon one broker. If the parties are unable to agree upon one broker, then each party shall appoint a broker and the two brokers shall select a third broker. Each broker selected shall have at least ten (10) years of full-time commercial real estate brokerage experience in the Milpitas office/manufacturing rental market.

(iii) If only one broker is selected, that broker shall notify the parties in simple letter form of its determination of the Extended Term Rate within fifteen (15) days following its selection. Said appraisal shall be binding on the parties as the appraised current Extended Term Rate. If multiple brokers are selected, each broker shall within ten (10) days of being selected make its determination of the Extended Term Rate in simple letter form. If two (2) or more of the brokers agree on said amount, such agreement shall be binding upon the parties. If multiple brokers are selected and two (2) brokers are unable to agree on the Extended Term Rate, the Extended Term Rate shall be determined by taking the mean average of the appraisals; provided, that any high or low appraisal, differing from the middle appraisal by more than ten percent (10%) of the middle appraisal, shall be disregarded in calculating the average.

(iv) If only one broker is selected, then each party shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses of that broker. If three brokers are selected, each party shall bear the fees and expenses of the broker it selects and one-half of the fees and expenses of the third broker.

(d) Thereafter, provided that Lessee has previously given timely notice to Lessor of the exercise by Lessee of the Option to Extend, Lessor and Lessee shall execute an amendment to this Lease stating that the initial Monthly Base Rent for the Premises during the Extended Term shall be equal to the determination by appraisal.

4. Monthly Base Rent.

(a) Commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter until the end of the Term, Lessee shall pay to Lessor in monthly installments in advance the Monthly Base Rent for the Premises in lawful money of the United States as follows:

(b) Upon the execution and delivery of this Lease by Lessor and Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor (i) the cash sum of Thirteen Thousand One Hundred Seventy-Five and 00/100 Dollars ($13,175) representing the initial full monthly installment of Monthly Base Rent (the “Initial Monthly Base Rent Installment”) payable by Lessee plus the estimated Operating Expenses and Taxes for the initial full month of this Lease in the amount of Twenty-Six Thousand Eight Hundred Forty Seven Dollars ($26,847), plus (ii) the cash Security Deposit (as defined in Paragraph 7 below). The Initial Monthly Base Rent Installment shall be credited against the Monthly Base Rent payable for the second full calendar month of the term. The Operating Expenses and Taxes paid upon execution and delivery of this Lease shall be credited against Lessee’s share of Operating Expenses and Taxes payable for the first (1st) full month of the Term.

5. Additional Rent; Operating Expenses and Taxes.

(a) In addition to the Monthly Base Rent payable by Lessee pursuant to Paragraph 4, commencing on the Commencement Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as “Additional Rent,” (1) Lessee’s proportionate share of the Operating Expenses (as defined in Paragraph 5(b) below) of the Property and (2) Lessee’s proportionate share of the Taxes (as defined in Paragraph 5(c) below). Lessee’s pro rata share (the “Pro Rata Share”) of the Operating Expenses of the Property and the Taxes shall be equal to 28.33% and, subject to reasonable adjustment by Lessor based on usage by Lessee (as compared to the other tenants of the Building), 38.5% as to utilities that are not separately metered to the Premises. Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent are referred to herein collectively as “rent.”.

(b) “Operating Expenses,” as used herein, shall include all commercially reasonable costs incurred by or on behalf of Lessor in connection with the operation, maintenance and repair of the Property, including the cost of all maintenance and repairs of the Property performed by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 14 hereof, as determined by generally accepted accounting principles (unless excluded by this Lease), including, but not limited to:

Personal property taxes related to the operation and repair of the Property (except for taxes on Lessee’s personal property, which shall be Lessee’s sole responsibility, and taxes on the personal property of any other tenant or occupant of the Building or Property); any parking taxes or parking levies imposed on the Property in the future by any governmental agency; a reasonable management fee charged for the management and operation of the Property (Lessee’s Pro Rata Share of which shall not exceed three percent (3%) of Monthly Base Rent each month); water and sewer charges; waste disposal; insurance premiums for insurance coverages maintained by Lessor; license, permit, and inspection fees; charges for electricity, heating, air conditioning, gas, and any other utilities (including, without limitation, any temporary or permanent utility surcharge or other exaction and utilities to the Premises and other leased areas of the Building) not payable directly by tenants of the Building; security; maintenance, repair and replacement of the roof membrane; painting and repairing, interior and exterior; maintenance and replacement of floor and window coverings; repair, maintenance and replacement of air-conditioning, heating, mechanical and electrical systems, elevators, plumbing and sewage systems; janitorial service to the Common Areas; landscaping, gardening, and tree trimming; glazing; repair, maintenance, cleaning, sweeping, striping, and resurfacing of the parking area; repair to exterior Building lighting and parking lot lighting; supplies, materials, equipment and tools in the maintenance of the Property; costs for accounting services incurred in the calculation of Operating Expenses and Taxes; and the cost of any other capital expenditures for any improvements or changes to the Building which are required by laws, ordinances, or other governmental regulations adopted after the Commencement Date, or for any items or capital expenditures voluntarily made by Lessor which reduce Operating Expenses; provided, however, that except for capital improvements required because of Lessee’s particular use of the Property, if Lessor is required to make such capital improvements or any replacements provided for above which are considered capital expenditures, Lessor shall amortize the cost of said improvements over the useful life of said improvements

 

4


calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (together with interest on the unamortized balance at the rate equal to the effective rate of interest on Lessor’s bank line of credit at the time of completion of said improvements, or if Lessor has no line of credit in place, a commercially reasonable rate, but in no event in excess of ten percent (10%) per annum) as an Operating Expense in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, except that with respect to capital improvements made to save Operating Expenses, such amortization shall not be at a rate greater than the actual savings in Operating Expenses. Operating Expenses shall also include any other expense or charge, whether or not described herein not specifically excluded by other provisions of this Lease, which in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles would be considered a commercially reasonable expense of operating, maintaining, and repairing the Property.

(c) Real property taxes and assessments upon the Property, during each year or partial year during the term of this Lease are referred to herein as “Taxes.”

As used herein, “Taxes” shall mean:

(1) all real estate taxes, assessments, charges and any other real property taxes which are levied or assessed against the Property including the Land, the Building, and all improvements located thereon, including any increase in Taxes resulting from a reassessment following any transfer of ownership of the Property or any interest therein or following any improvements to the Property; and

(2) all other taxes which may be levied in lieu of real estate taxes, assessments, and other fees, charges, and levies, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, unforeseen as well as foreseen, of any kind and nature by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including without limitation any governmental authority or any improvement or other district or division thereof, for public improvements, services, or benefits which are assessed, levied, confirmed, imposed, or become a lien (1) upon the Property, and/or any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in any part thereof; or (2) upon this transaction or any document to which Lessee is a party creating or transferring any interest in the Property; and (3) any tax or excise, however described, imposed in addition to, or in substitution partially or totally of, any tax previously included within the definition of “Taxes” or any tax the nature of which was previously included in the definition “Taxes.”

Not included within the definition of “Taxes” are any net income, profits, gross receipts, real property transfer taxes, franchise, estate, gift, or inheritance taxes imposed by any governmental authority and other taxes to the extent applicable to Lessor’s net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Building). “Taxes” also shall not include (i) penalties or interest charges assessed on delinquent Taxes so long as Lessee is not in default in the payment of Additional Rent, (ii) any items paid by Lessee under Paragraph 10 of this Lease and other similar taxes applicable to any other tenant of the Building, and (iii) Taxes attributable to periods of time outside the Term of this Lease.

With respect to any assessments which may be levied against or upon the Property, which under the laws then in force may be evidenced by improvement or other bonds, or may be paid in annual installments, only the amount of such annual installment (with appropriate proration of any partial year) and statutory interest shall be included within the computation of the annual Taxes levied against the Property.

(d) The following costs (“Costs’) shall be excluded from the definition of Operating Expenses:

(1) Costs occasioned by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or Lessor’s agents, employees or contractors, or by the violation of law by Lessor, any other occupant of the Property, or their respective agents, employees or contractors;

(2) Costs for which Lessor receives reimbursement from others, including reimbursement from insurance;

(3) Interest, charges and fees incurred on debt or payments on any deed of trust or ground lease on the Property, and any other costs of selling, syndicating, financing, mortgaging or hypothecating any of Lessor’s interest in the Property;

(4) Costs incurred in repairing, maintaining or replacing any structural elements of the Building for which Lessor is responsible pursuant to Paragraph 14(a) hereof;

(5) Any wages, bonuses or other compensation of employees above the grade of building manager and any executive salary of any officer or employee of Lessor or for employees to the extent not stationed at the Property, including fringe benefits other than insurance plans and tax-qualified benefit plans;

(6) General office overhead and general and administrative expenses of Lessor, except as specifically provided in Paragraph 5(b), including without limitation, costs related to the operation of the business of the partnership, corporation or other entity which constitutes Lessor (including accounting and legal costs for such entity), as the same are distinguished from the costs of operation, management and repair of the Property;

(7) Costs occasioned by casualties or by the exercise of the power of eminent domain;

(8) Attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in connection with negotiations or disputes with any other occupant of the Property and Costs arising from the violation by Lessor or any other occupant of the Property of the terms and conditions of any lease or other agreement;

(9) Costs incurred in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Materials on the Property that were not caused by or introduced by Lessee or its employees, agents, contractors, invitees, sublessees, successors or assigns;

(10) Expense reserves;

(11) Legal, accounting, construction, brokerage or other expenses related to other transactions or for the sole benefit of other tenants of the Building, including without limitation, leasing commissions, finder’s fees, advertising and promotional costs, attorneys’ fees, rental abatements and other expenses and concessions incurred in connection with leasing space to prospective tenants or other occupants, or to retain existing tenants;

(12) Costs of improvements installed for the exclusive use of other tenants or occupants of the Property;

(13) Costs of special services provided solely to an individual tenant of the Building other than Lessee (including excess utility usage);

 

6


(14) Costs for items that are expressly excluded from Operating Expenses elsewhere in this Lease;

(15) Political, charitable or similar civic contributions or donations;

(16) Insurance deductibles to the extent Lessee’s Pro Rata Share thereof would exceed one (1) month’s Base Rent and co-insurance payments; and

(17) payments in respect to overhead or profits to subsidiaries or affiliates of Lessor, or to any party affiliated with Lessor, for management or other services in or to the Building, or for supplies or other materials, to the extent that the cost of such services, supplies, or materials exceeds the fair market cost that would be charged by non-affiliated third parties dealing with Lessor on an arms-length basis.

(e) Prior to the execution of this Lease, Lessor has delivered to Lessee Lessor’s estimate of 2015 Operating Expenses and Taxes. Throughout the term of this Lease, as close as reasonably possible to the end of each calendar year thereafter, Lessor shall notify Lessee of the Operating Expenses and Taxes estimated by Lessor for the following calendar year. Concurrently with such notice, Lessor shall provide a description of such Operating Expenses and Taxes. Commencing on the Commencement Date, and on the first (1st) day of each calendar month thereafter, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as Additional Rent, one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated Operating Expenses and Taxes. If at any time during any such calendar year, it appears to Lessor that the Operating Expenses and Taxes for such year will vary from Lessor’s estimate, Lessor may, by written notice to Lessee, revise Lessor’s estimate for such year and the Additional Rent payments by Lessee for such year shall thereafter be based upon such revised estimate. The increase in the monthly installments of Additional Rent resulting from Lessor’s revised estimate shall not be retroactive, but the Additional Rent for each calendar year shall be subject to adjustment between Lessor and Lessee after the close of the calendar year, as provided below. If the Property is not fully occupied during all or any portion of any year, Lessor may make an appropriate adjustment, in accordance with industry standards and sound management practices, of those Operating Expenses that vary based upon the occupancy level of the Property for each such year to so that the Operating Expenses reflect a fully occupied Property.

Upon giving Lessor five (5) days advance written notice, Lessee or its accountants shall have the right to inspect and audit Lessor’s books and records with respect to the Operating Expenses and/or Taxes for the prior calendar year in an office of Lessor, or Lessor’s agent, during normal business hours, once each calendar year to verify actual Operating Expenses and/or Taxes. Should Lessee retain any accountant or accounting firm to audit or inspect Lessor’s books and records pursuant to this Paragraph 5(e), such accountant or accounting firm shall be one of regional standing and retained on an hourly rate basis or based upon a fixed fee and shall not be paid on a contingency basis. Lessor’s books and records shall be kept in accord with generally accepted accounting principles. If Lessee’s audit of the Operating Expenses and/or Taxes for any year reveals a net overcharge of more than five percent (5%), Lessor shall promptly reimburse Lessee for the cost of the audit; otherwise, Lessee shall bear the cost of Lessee’s audit. If Lessee reasonably objects to Lessor’s estimated Operating Expenses and/or Taxes, Lessee shall nonetheless continue to pay on a monthly basis the Operating Expenses and Taxes based upon Lessor’s most current estimate until such dispute is resolved.

If Lessee’s Pro Rata Share of the Operating Expenses and Taxes for any year as finally determined exceed the total payments made by Lessee for such year based on Lessor’s estimates, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the deficiency, within thirty (30) days after Lessor’s request. If the total payments made by Lessee based on Lessor’s estimate of the Operating Expenses and Taxes exceed Lessee’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses and/or Taxes, Lessee’s extra payment, plus the cost of an audit which is the responsibility of Lessor as set forth herein, if any, shall be credited against payments of Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent next due hereunder or returned within thirty (30) days if the term has expired or this Lease has been terminated.

 

7


Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Lease, within thirty (30) days after Lessee’s receipt of Lessor’s notice for the calendar year in which this Lease terminates, Lessee shall pay to Lessor or shall receive from Lessor, as the case may be, an amount equal to the difference between the Operating Expenses and/or Taxes for such year, as finally determined, and the amount previously paid by Lessee on account thereof (prorated to the expiration date or the termination date of this Lease); provided, however, that Lessee shall have no obligation to pay any portion of any Operating Expense or Taxes that are fairly allocable to any period of time after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease and Lessee’s surrender of possession of the Premises.

6. Payment of Rent.

(a) All rent shall be due and payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the address of Lessor set forth in Paragraph 24, “Notices,” without deduction or offset and without prior demand or notice, unless otherwise specified herein. Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be payable monthly, in advance, on the first day of each month for the entire term of this Lease. Lessee’s obligation to pay rent for any partial month at the commencement of the term, for any partial month immediately prior to a rental adjustment date (if the rental adjustment date is other than the first day of the calendar month), and for any partial month at the expiration or termination of the term, shall be based upon the number of days in such month.

(b) If any installment of Monthly Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum due from Lessee is not received by Lessor within five (5) days after the same is due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor an additional sum equal to five percent (5%) of the amount overdue as a late charge, provided however that Lessor shall provide Lessee written notice once per calendar year of any overdue amount prior to charging any late charges (so long as such payment is made within five (5) days after Lessor’s notice). The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Lessor will incur by reason of the late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of any late charge plus the overdue amount shall constitute a waiver of Lessee’s default with respect to such overdue amount. Any amount not paid within ten (10) days after Lessee’s receipt of written notice that such amount is due shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the lesser rate of (1) the prime rate of interest as published in the “Wall Street Journal,” plus two percent (2%) or (2) the maximum rate allowed by law (the “Interest Rate’), in addition to the late payment charge.

7. Security Deposit. Lessee shall provide a deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof the sum of Sixty-Six Thousand Six Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($66,600) (the “Security Deposit”), as security for Lessee’s faithful performance of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease. Lessor is currently holding the sum of $21,480.00 as a security deposit pursuant to the terms of the Original Lease (defined below). Upon execution of this Lease, Lessee shall deposit with Lessor the balance of the Security Deposit. If Lessee fails to pay Monthly Base Rent or Additional Rent or charges due hereunder within applicable notice and cure periods, or otherwise defaults under this Lease (as defined in Paragraph 22), Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said Security Deposit to the extent reasonably necessary to cure the default, for the payment of any amount due Lessor, and to reimburse or compensate Lessor for any liability, cost, expense, loss or damage (including attorneys’ fees) which Lessor may suffer or incur by reason thereof. If Lessor uses or applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written request therefor, deposit with Lessor the amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the original amount required by this Lease. Lessor shall not be required to keep all or any part of the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts. In no event or circumstance shall Lessee have the right to any

 

8


use of the Security Deposit and, specifically, Lessee may not use the Security Deposit as a credit or to otherwise offset any payments required hereunder, including, but not limited to, rent or any portion thereof. Lessee waives (i) California Civil Code Section 1950.7 (with the exception of subsection (b), which subsection is not waived and may be enforced by Lessee) and any and all other governmental laws, rules and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context (“Security Deposit Laws’), and (ii) any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now has, or in the future will have, relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Security Deposit may be retained and applied by Lessor (a) to offset rent which is unpaid either before or after termination of this Lease, and (b) against other damages suffered by Lessor before or after termination of this Lease. No part of the Security Deposit shall be considered to be held in trust, to bear interest or other increment for its use, or to be prepayment for any moneys to be paid by Lessee under this Lease. Within thirty (30) days the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and Lessee’s surrender of possession of the Premises to Lessor, Lessor shall return to Lessee so much of the Security Deposit as has not been applied by Lessor pursuant to this paragraph, or which is not otherwise required to cure Lessee’s defaults.

8. Use. Lessee may use and occupy the Premises for research and development, office, and the housing, care, treatment of mice and small rodents, and for no other use or purpose without Lessor’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld as long as such use is in compliance with the applicable zoning for the Property and compatible with the uses of the other tenants in the Building. Any use of the Premises by Lessee or by any sublessee or assignee approved by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 17 shall comply with the provisions of this Paragraph 8.

In such case, Lessee shall upon request reimburse Lessor or Lessor’s Lender, as the case may be, for the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such inspections.

10


the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. No termination, cancellation or release agreement entered into by Lessor and Lessee shall release Lessee from its obligations under this Lease with respect to Hazardous Materials, unless specifically so agreed by Lessor in writing at the time of such agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, under no circumstance shall Lessee be liable for, or obligated to indemnify, protect, defend or hold harmless Lessor or any of Lessor’s agents or employees from or against, any claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, liabilities or losses arising out of or in connection with any Hazardous Materials present at any time on or about the Premises or the Property, or the violation of any Environmental Laws, except to the extent that any of the foregoing actually results from the introduction of Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises by Lessee or any of Lessee’s agents, employees, contractors or invitees.

10. Taxes on Lessee’s Property . Lessee shall pay before delinquency any and all taxes, assessments, license fees, and public charges levied, assessed, or imposed and which become payable during the Term and any extension thereof upon the FF&E and Lessee’s equipment, fixtures, furniture, and personal property installed or located on the Premises.

11. Insurance.

(a) Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, provide and keep in force commencing with the Commencement Date of the Term and continuing during the Term, (i) a commercial general liability insurance policy, insuring against any and all liability occasioned by any occurrence in, on, about, or related to the Premises, or arising out of Lessee’s use, occupancy, alteration or maintenance of the Premises, having a combined single limit for both bodily injury and property damage in an amount not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) each occurrence and Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) annual aggregate, (ii) “all risk” property insurance insuring the FF&E and all Lessee’s personal property and improvements installed or placed in the Premises by Lessee, (iii) workers’ compensation insurance with no less than the minimum limits required by law and (iv) employer’s liability insurance with such limits as required by law.

(b) All such insurance carried by Lessee shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and shall be carried with recognized insurance companies qualified to do business in California that have a general policyholder’s rating of not less than “A-” and a financial rating of not less than Class “VII” in the most current edition of Best’s Insurance Reports; Lessee shall provide prior notice to Lessor of any reduction or cancellation of such policies of at least thirty (30) days prior to such reduction or cancellation; and such insurance shall be primary as to Lessor. Prior to the Commencement Date and upon renewal of such policies not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term of such coverage, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor certificates of insurance confirming such coverage, together with evidence of the payment of the premium therefor, naming Lessor and Lessor’s property manager as additional insureds. If Lessee fails to procure and maintain the insurance required hereunder and cure such failure within three (3) business days’ after notice from Lessor, Lessor may, but shall not be required to, order such insurance at Lessee’s expense and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for all costs incurred by Lessor with respect thereto. Lessee’s reimbursement to Lessor for such amounts shall be deemed Additional Rent, and shall include all sums disbursed, incurred or deposited by Lessor, including Lessor’s costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees with interest thereon at the Interest Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Lessor and Lessee, on behalf of themselves and on behalf of anyone claiming under or through them by way of subrogation or otherwise, waive all rights and causes of action against and release each other, and their respective authorized representatives, employees, officers, directors, shareholders, managers, members, trustees, beneficiaries, assignees, subtenants, invitees, successors, agents, contractors and property managers, from (i) any liability arising out of any loss or damage to property in or to the Premises and/or

 

11


the other structures and improvements on the Land, and from (ii) any claims for damage to the fixtures, personal property, leasehold improvements and alterations of either Lessor or Lessee in or on the Premises or the Property, to the extent that either (i) or (ii) are caused by or result from risks required by this Lease to be insured against (or actually insured against) under any policies of property insurance carried by the parties or that would normally be covered by “all risk” or “special form” property insurance. This waiver and release applies whether or not the loss is due to the negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of Lessor or Lessee or their respective authorized representatives, employees, officers, directors, shareholders, managers, members, trustees, beneficiaries, assignees, subtenants, invitees, successors, agents, contractors and property managers. Subject to the foregoing, this release and waiver shall be complete and total even if such loss or damage may have been caused by the negligence of the other party, its managers, members, employees, agents, contractors, property managers or invitees.

12. Indemnification.

(a) Lessee waives all claims against Lessor and its employees, agents and contractors for damages to property, or to goods, wares, and merchandise stored in, upon, or about the Premises, and for injuries to persons in, upon, or about the Premises or the Property from any cause arising at any time, except as may be caused by the negligence (except to the extent any such claims are covered by the insurance Lessee is required to carry under this Lease or actually carries), gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or its employees, agents or contractors. Lessee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lessor from claims, suits, actions, or liabilities, including attorneys’ fees, to the extent arising from (1) any activity, work, or thing done or permitted by Lessee in or about the Premises or the Property, (2) the acts or omissions of Lessee, its employees, agents or contractors, and (3) any event of default by Lessee in the performance of any obligation on Lessee’s part to be performed under this Lease; provided, however, that Lessee shall have no obligation to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Lessor from any such claims, suits, actions, or liabilities to the extent they are caused by the negligence (except to the extent any such claims, suits, actions, or liabilities are covered by the insurance Lessee is required to carry under this Lease or actually carries), gross negligence or willful misconduct or violation of applicable law by Lessor or any of Lessor’s agents, employees or contractors.

(b) Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any damage because of any act or negligence of any other occupant of the Building or any other owner or occupant of adjoining or contiguous property, nor for overflow, breakage, or leakage of water, steam, gas, or electricity from pipes, wires, or otherwise in the Premises or the Building, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or Lessor’s employees, agents, or contractors. Except as otherwise provided herein, Lessee will pay for damage to the Premises or the Property caused by the misuse or neglect of the Premises or the Property by Lessee or its employees, agents, or contractors, including, but not limited to, the breakage of glass in the Building.

13. Tenant Improvements. Lessor shall, except with respect to disbursement of the Allowance as set forth in the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit “D”, and subject to and without limiting, Lessor’s repair, maintenance and other obligations under this Lease, have no obligation to make any repairs, improvements, additions or alterations to the Premises or to provide any tenant improvement allowance to Lessee. Lessee shall be solely responsible for constructing at its sole cost and expense the improvements to the Premises required for Lessee’s Permitted Use of the Premises in accordance with the terms of Section 13 hereof and the Work Letter attached hereto (the “Tenant Improvements”).

14. Maintenance and Repairs; Alterations; Surrender and Restoration.

(a) Lessor shall, at Lessor’s sole expense, keep in good order, condition, and repair and replace when necessary, the structural elements of the roof (excluding the roof membrane which Lessor shall maintain, but the cost of which shall be included as an Operating Expense as permitted under Paragraph 5), and the structural elements of the foundation and exterior walls (except the interior faces thereof, except to the extent damage to interior walls or floors is caused by leaks, seepage or exterior elements due to failure or poor condition of exterior walls, roof, foundation or structural elements) of the Building, and other structural elements of the Building and the Property as “structural elements” are defined in building codes applicable to the Building, excluding any alterations, structural or otherwise, made by Lessee to the Building. Lessor shall perform and construct, in a commercially reasonable time period and manner, and Lessee shall not be responsible for performing or constructing, any repairs, maintenance, or improvements (1) required as a result of any casualty damage, which shall be subject to Paragraph 20 below, or as a result of any taking pursuant to the exercise of the power of eminent domain, or (2) for which Lessor has a right of reimbursement from third parties based on construction or other warranties, contractor guarantees, or insurance claims.

(b) Lessor shall provide or cause to be provided and shall supervise the performance of, in a commercially reasonable time period and manner, as an Operating Expense of the Property as permitted under Paragraph 5(b) hereof, maintenance of the base Building mechanical, plumbing and electrical and all other base building systems serving the Premises (but only to the extent such maintenance is consistent with basic lab needs, and shall not include Lessee’s specialized equipment or specialized work required for certifications related to Lessee’s use except as provided in Exhibit “H”); the roof membrane; the outside areas of the Property; landscaping; tree trimming; resurfacing and restriping of the parking lot; repairing and maintaining the walkways; exterior building painting; exterior building lighting; and parking lot lighting. In the event Lessee provides Lessor with written notice of the need for any repairs, Lessor shall commence any such repairs request to be performed by Lessor hereunder promptly following receipt by Lessor of such notice and Lessor shall diligently prosecute such repairs to completion. Lessee, at its sole expense, shall perform at its sole cost any maintenance required for Lessee’s specialized equipment or specialized maintenance within the interior of the Premises and to building systems, and Lessee shall first submit all vendors performing such work in writing to Lessor for Lessor’s prior consent.

(c) Except as for Lessor’s obligation to deliver the Premises in the Required Condition and subject to Lessor’s express repair, maintenance and other obligations under this Lease, the Premises shall be accepted by Lessee in its “as is” condition with “all faults,” as of the Commencement Date and Lessor shall have no obligation whatsoever to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises, the remainder of the Property or any part thereof either prior to or during the Term. Lessee agrees that the Premises are suitable for Lessee’s purposes. As of the Commencement Date, Lessee shall take good care of the interior of the Premises and shall make all repairs in the Premises necessary to preserve the interior of the Premises in good order and condition, except for ordinary wear and tear, which repairs shall be in quality and class equal to the condition of the Premises as of the Commencement Date. Without limiting the foregoing, Lessee shall provide all services and work relating to the operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement, as needed, of Lessee’s specialized equipment, and shall be responsible for any damage to the Property caused by Lessee or any of its employees, agents, contractors or invitees, including due to any misuse or excess use of the Building equipment servicing the Premises, subject to and without limiting Paragraph 9(c) above concerning waiver of subrogation rights and to the HVAC, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in or to the extent exclusively serving the Premises, except for HVAC repairs as provided in Paragraph 14(b).

(d) Lessee may, from time to time, at its own cost and expense and without the consent of Lessor make internal alterations of a nonstructural, non-utility and non-mechanical nature to the interior of the Premises the cost of which in any one instance is Ten Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) or less, provided Lessee first notifies Lessor in writing of any such nonstructural alterations. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Lessee shall not make any additional alterations, improvements, or additions to the Premises without delivering to Lessor a complete set of plans and

 

13


specifications for such work (including without limitation, if appropriate, architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical drawings and specifications), prepared by Lessee’s architect, engineer or contractor, obtaining and delivering copies to Lessor of any permits or other governmental approvals required for such work and obtaining Lessor’s prior written consent thereto. All alterations and additions shall be installed by an appropriately licensed contractor approved by Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, at Lessee’s sole expense in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and ordinances. Lessee shall keep the Premises and the Property on which the Premises are situated free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Lessee. Lessor may condition its consent to, among other things, Lessee agreeing in writing to remove any such alterations prior to the expiration of the Lease term and Lessee agreeing to restore the Premises to its condition prior to such alterations at Lessee’s expense. Upon Lessee’s written request, Lessor shall advise Lessee in writing at the time consent is granted whether Lessor reserves the right to require Lessee to remove any alterations from the Premises prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. Lessee shall pay Lessor all of Lessor’s reasonable, out-of-pocket costs related to such alterations, including a construction management fee of three percent (3%) of the cost of such alterations requiring a building permit.

(e) Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, fully, diligently and in a timely manner, comply with all present and future “Laws,” which term is used in this Lease to mean all laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, directives, orders, covenants, permits of all governmental agencies and authorities, easements and restrictions of record, the requirements of any applicable fire insurance underwriter or rating bureau or board of fire underwriters, relating in any manner to the Premises and/or Lessee’s use or occupancy of the Premises (including but not limited to matters pertaining to environmental conditions on, in, under or about the Premises, including soil and groundwater conditions, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9 hereof, which provisions of Paragraph 9, in the event of a conflict, shall take precedence and govern with respect to any conflicting provision contained in this Paragraph 14, and the use, generation, manufacture, production, installation, maintenance, removal, transportation, storage, spill, or release of any Hazardous Materials (except to the extent provided in Paragraph 9 hereof)), now in effect or which may hereafter come into effect. Lessee shall, within ten (10) business days after receipt of Lessor’s written request, provide Lessor with copies of all documents and information, including but not limited to permits, registrations, manifests, applications, reports and certificates, evidencing Lessee’s compliance with any Laws reasonably specified by Lessor, and shall immediately after receipt, notify Lessor in writing (with copies of any documents involved) of any threatened or actual claim, notice, citation, warning, complaint or report pertaining to or involving failure by Lessee or the Premises to comply with any Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any structural changes or repairs or other alterations, changes or repairs to the Property of any nature which would be considered a capital expenditure under generally accepted accounting principles may be made by Lessor at Lessee’s expense if such repairs or changes are required by reason of the specific nature or specialized use of the Premises by Lessee (including vivarium use and alterations performed by Lessee). If such changes or repairs are not required by reason of the specific nature or specialized use of the Premises (including alterations performed by Lessee) and are capital expenditures, the cost of such changes or repairs shall be treated as an Operating Expense and amortized in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 5(b) and 5(d).

(f) During the term of this Lease, Lessee shall comply, at Lessee’s expense (but subject to and without limiting the last sentence of Paragraph 14(e) above), with all of the covenants, conditions, and restrictions affecting the Premises which are presently recorded in the Official Records of Santa Clara County, California, and any covenants, conditions, and restrictions affecting the Premises that may be recorded in the future, provided that any such covenants, conditions or restrictions do not impair Lessee’s access to or use of the Premises or increase Lessee’s monetary obligations under this Lease.

 

14


(g) Lessee shall surrender the Premises by the last day of the Term or any earlier termination date, in accordance with Paragraph 13(d) and this Paragraph 14(g), with all of the improvements to the Premises, parts, and surfaces thereof clean and free of debris and in the same condition as on the Commencement Date, ordinary wear and tear, alterations that Lessee is not required to remove, damage caused by casualty or condemnation, and repair and maintenance that Lessor is required to perform excepted, with all closures and requirements by any governmental agencies with respect to the use of Hazardous Materials at the Premises completed; provided, however, that Lessee shall have the right to remove any specialized tenant improvements to the Premises installed and paid for by Lessee, in which event Lessee shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal. If the Premises are not so surrendered, then Lessee shall be liable to Lessor for all costs incurred by Lessor in returning the Premises to the required condition. At least two (2) months prior to the surrender of the Premises, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a description of the actions proposed (or required by any governmental authority) to be taken to surrender the Premises free from any residual impact from Lessee’s or its agent’s, employee’s or contractor’s use of Hazardous Materials (the “Surrender Plan”). Such Surrender Plan shall be accompanied by a listing of (i) all Hazardous Materials licenses and permits held by or on behalf of Lessee or Lessee’s agents, employees or contractors with respect to the Premises, and (ii) all Hazardous Materials (except standard office products) used, stored, handled, treated, generated, introduced, or disposed of from the Premises and any other information reasonably requested by Lessor and shall be subject to the review and approval of Lessor. On or before such surrender, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor evidence that the approved Surrender Plan has been satisfactorily completed. Lessee’s failure to surrender the Premises in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease, including, without limitation, this Paragraph 14(g) shall be deemed to be a material default under this Lease. “Ordinary wear and tear” shall not include any damage or deterioration that would have been prevented by good maintenance practice or by Lessee performing all of its obligations under this Lease. The obligations of Lessee shall include the repair of any damage occasioned by the installation, maintenance, or removal of Lessee’s trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and alterations, and the restoration by Lessee of the Premises to its condition upon the Commencement Date (ordinary wear and tear excepted) (A) if Lessor’s consent to alteration, additions or improvements was conditioned upon such removal and restoration upon expiration or sooner termination of the Lease term pursuant to Paragraph 14(d), or (B) if Lessee made any such alterations, additions, or improvements without obtaining Lessor’s prior written consent as required herein and within ten (10) days after the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease term Lessor gives written notice to Lessee requiring Lessee to perform such removal and restoration.

15. Utilities and Services.

(a) Lessee shall contract for and pay for directly all telephone, telecommunications and janitorial service and shall pay Lessor Lessor’s reasonable estimate of the cost of all electricity, gas, water, heat and air conditioning service, sewer charges, and all other utilities or services supplied to or consumed by Lessee, its agents, employees, contractors, and invitees on or about the Premises. Lessee acknowledges that (i) the Premises are not currently separately metered, and Lessor shall reasonably and equitably estimate the cost of the utilities provided to the Premises (provided, however, Lessor anticipates providing a disproportionate (based on square footage) amount of the utilities to Lessee, agreed at 38.5%, based on Lessee’s anticipated use of the Premises), which shall be fixed throughout the Term based on Lessee’s use of common utilities as compared to the use of such utilities by other tenants of the Building, (ii) Lessor shall have the right, at its sole cost (unless Lessor reasonably determines that Lessee has been using more than 38.5% of utilities, in which case such metering shall be at Lessee’s cost) to separately meter the Premises and (iii) Lessor may include the cost of such utilities in Operating Expenses or may separately invoice the cost of such utilities to Lessee, in which case Lessee shall pay such amounts within thirty (30) days of Lessor’s delivery of an invoice. Such payments shall constitute Additional Rent, and Lessee’s failure to make such payments on a timely basis will result in a late charge as provided in Paragraph 6(b) and constitute a default as described in Paragraph 22. Lessor shall reasonably determine Lessee’s actual usage

 

15


of common utilities as 38.5% of the actual cost of utilities, not less frequently than annually and shall deliver prompt written notice to Lessee of such determination, the amount of any underpayment or overpayment made by Lessee as to such utility usage and any adjustment to the amount of such utilities to be paid by Lessee thereafter to more accurately reflect Lessee’s usage thereof. Lessor shall credit any overpayment to the amount of Monthly Base Rent next coming due (or, if this Lease has expired, refund such amount to Lessee within thirty (30) days thereafter (after first deducting any amounts owing by Lessee under this Lease)) or Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days of Lessor’s delivery of such determination, pay the amount of such underpayment to Lessor.

(b) Lessor will use reasonable efforts to cause the main HVAC system serving the Premises to provide the airflow/pressurization and temperature regulations described in Exhibit “F”. Lessor hall not be liable to Lessee for any interruption or failure of any utility services to the Building or the Premises which is not caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, or Lessor’s employees, agents, or contractors. Lessee shall not be relieved from the performance of any covenant or agreement in this Lease because of any such failure. Lessor shall make all repairs to the Premises required to restore such services to the Premises and the cost thereof shall be payable by Lessee pursuant to Paragraph 5 as a current Operating Expense, or as a capital improvement which is amortized over its useful life (together with interest thereon) as an Operating Expense in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as described in Paragraph 5(b); provided, however, if such failure is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or Lessor’s employees, agents, or contractors, or by Lessor’s breach in the performance of Lessor’s express obligations hereunder, then Lessor shall bear such costs.

16. Liens. Lessee agrees to keep the Premises free from all liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by Lessee. Lessee shall give Lessor at least ten (10) calendar days prior written notice before commencing any work of improvement on the Premises. Lessor shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility with respect to any such work. If Lessee shall, in good faith, contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole expense, defend and protect itself, Lessor and the Property against the same, and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before the enforcement thereof against Lessor or the Property. If Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to the amount of such contested claim or demand, indemnifying Lessor against liability for the same, as required by law for the holding of the Property free from the effect of such lien or claim.

17. Assignment and Subletting.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 17, Lessee shall not hypothecate or encumber its interest under this Lease or any rights of Lessee hereunder, assign this Lease, or any interest, voluntarily or involuntarily, and shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other person (the agents and servants of Lessee excepted) to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of Lessor in each instance pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, subject to the following provisions. A transfer or series of transfers whereby fifty percent (50%) or more of the ownership interests in Lessee are transferred, or an assignment or transfer by operation of law or, subject to Paragraph 17(f) below, otherwise in connection with a merger, consolidation, reorganization, stock sale or other like transaction, shall also constitute an assignment hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the immediately preceding sentence will not apply to any change in the controlling ownership interest of the entity that constitutes Lessee which results from any of the following: (i) any transfer or sale of the stock or other ownership interest in Lessee (1) to the spouse(s) and/or children of a shareholder of Lessee, (2) to any trust, the beneficiary(ies) of which are family members of a shareholder of Lessee, (3) by reason of bequest or inheritance, or (4) in connection with the issuance of warrants or stock options to purchase Lessee’s stock, and the exercise of any purchase rights under any such warrants or stock options.

 

16


(b) If Lessee desires to assign or sublease this Lease or the Premises (other than by a Permitted Transfer (as defined in Paragraph 17(f) below)), at least thirty (30) days before the date Lessee desires such sublease or assignment to be effective (the “Transfer Date”), Lessee shall provide to Lessor the name and address of the proposed assignee or sublessee, and true and complete copies of all documents relating to Lessee’s prospective agreement to assign or sublease, a copy of a current financial statement for such proposed assignee or sublessee, and any other relevant information requested by Lessor and Lessee shall specify all consideration to be received by Lessee for such assignment or sublease in the form of lump sum payments, installments of rent, or otherwise (the “Transfer Notice”). For purposes of this Paragraph 17, the term “consideration” shall include all money or other consideration to be received by Lessee for such assignment or sublease. Within twenty (20) days after the receipt of such documentation and other information, Lessor (1) shall notify Lessee in writing that Lessor elects to consent to the proposed assignment or sublease subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, (2) shall notify Lessee in writing that Lessor refuses such consent, specifying reasonable grounds for such refusal, or (3) with respect to a proposed sublease or assignment of substantially all of the Premises for substantially the remaining Term, terminate this Lease with respect to the space described in the Transfer Notice as of the Transfer Date. Lessee and the proposed assignee or sublessee shall demonstrate to Lessor’s reasonable satisfaction that each of the criteria referred to in this subparagraph (b) is satisfied.

(c) Except with respect to any Permitted Transferees, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as and when received by Lessee, fifty percent (50%) of the amount of any excess of the consideration to be received by Lessee in connection with said assignment or sublease over and above the Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent fixed by this Lease and payable by Lessee to Lessor, after deducting only (i) a standard leasing commission payable by Lessee in consummating such assignment or sublease, (ii) the cost of reasonable tenant improvements performed specifically for the sublease and required to be made to the Premises to effectuate the sublease, provided that such improvements are performed in compliance with the provisions of this Lease, (iii) the fair market value of any goods or services provided by Lessee as additional consideration and (iv) commercially reasonable attorneys’ fees to effectuate the transfer.

(d) Each assignment or sublease agreement to which Lessor has consented shall be an instrument in writing in form satisfactory to Lessor, and shall be executed by both Lessee and the assignee or sublessee, as the case may be. Each such assignment or sublease agreement shall recite that it is and shall be subject and subordinate to the provisions of this Lease, that the assignee or sublessee accepts such assignment or sublease, that Lessor’s consent thereto shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by Lessee or the assignee or sublessee, and, except as otherwise set forth in a sublease approved by Lessor, agrees to perform all of the obligations of Lessee hereunder (to the extent such obligations relate to the portion of the Premises assigned or subleased), and that the termination of this Lease shall, unless Lessor elects, in its sole discretion otherwise, constitute a termination of every such assignment or sublease.

(e) In the event Lessor shall consent to an assignment or sublease, Lessee shall nonetheless remain primarily liable for all obligations and liabilities of Lessee under this Lease, including but not limited to the payment of rent.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may, without Lessor’s prior written consent, but with prior notice and documentation, as required pursuant to this Paragraph 17(f), provided to Lessor, sublet a portion or the entire Premises or assign this Lease to (i) a subsidiary, affiliate, division or corporation controlled or under common control with Lessee (“affiliate’); (ii) to a successor corporation related to Lessee by merger, consolidation or reorganization; or (iii) to a purchaser acquiring all or

 

17


substantially all of Lessee’s assets or stock (each such transaction referred to herein as a “Permitted Transfer” and each of the foregoing transferees referred to herein as a “Permitted Transferee), provided that in the case of (ii) or (iii) any such Permitted Transferee shall have a current verifiable net worth after the transfer at least equal to that of Lessee immediately prior to the transfer. Lessee’s foregoing rights in this Paragraph 17(f) to assign this Lease or to sublease all or a portion of the entire Premises shall be subject to the following conditions: (1) Lessee shall not be in default hereunder past any applicable cure period; (2) in the case of an assignment or subletting to an affiliate, Lessee shall remain liable to Lessor hereunder if Lessee is a surviving entity; (3) in the case of an assignment, the transferee or successor entity shall expressly assume in writing all of Lessee’s obligations hereunder; and (4) Lessee shall provide Lessor with prior notice of such proposed transfer and deliver to Lessor all documents reasonably requested by Lessor reasonably relating to such transfer, including but not limited to documentation sufficient to establish such proposed transferee’s verifiable net worth. It is expressly provided that any venture capital or other third party financing transaction shall be a Permitted Transfer and not require Lessor’s consent thereto provided that such financing transaction complies with the conditions to transfer set forth in this Paragraph 17(f).

(g) Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 17, any assignment or sublease (if such consent is required hereunder) without Lessor’s prior written consent shall at Lessor’s election be void. The consent by Lessor to any assignment or sublease shall not constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Paragraph 17, including the requirement of Lessor’s prior written consent, with respect to any subsequent assignment or sublease. If Lessee shall purport to assign this Lease, or sublease all or any portion of the Premises, or permit any person or persons other than Lessee to occupy the Premises, without Lessor’s prior written consent (if such consent is required hereunder), Lessor may collect rent from the person or persons then or thereafter occupying the Premises and apply the net amount collected to the rent reserved herein, but no such collection shall be deemed a waiver of Lessor’s rights and remedies under this Paragraph 17, or the acceptance of any such purported assignee, sublessee, or occupant, or a release of Lessee from the further performance by Lessee of covenants on the part of Lessee herein contained.

(h) Lessee hereby acknowledges that the foregoing terms and conditions are reasonable and, therefore, that Lessor has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Lessor may continue the Lease in effect after Lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if Lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations).

(i) In the event of any sale or exchange of the Premises by Lessor and assignment of this Lease by Lessor, Lessor shall, provided that the assignee has assumed all obligations of Lessor under this Lease and Lessor has delivered any Security Deposit held by Lessor to Lessor’s successor in interest, be and hereby is entirely relieved of all liability under any and all of Lessor’s covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease with respect to the period commencing with the consummation of the sale or exchange and assignment.

18. Non-Waiver.

(a) No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be implied by any failure of Lessor or Lessee to enforce any remedy for the violation of that provision, even if that violation continues or is repeated. Any waiver by Lessor or Lessee of any provision of this Lease must be in writing.

(b) No receipt of Lessor of a lesser payment than the rent required under this Lease shall be considered to be other than on account of the earliest rent due, and no endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying a payment or check shall be considered an accord and satisfaction. Lessor may accept checks or payments without prejudice to Lessor’s right to recover all amounts due and pursue all other remedies provided for in this Lease.

 

18


(c) Lessor’s receipt of any rent or other payment from Lessee after giving notice to Lessee terminating this Lease shall in no way reinstate, continue, or extend the Lease term or affect the termination notice given by Lessor before the receipt of such rent or payment. After serving notice terminating this Lease, filing an action, or obtaining final judgment for possession of the Premises, Lessor may receive and collect any rent, and the payment of that rent shall not waive or affect such prior notice, action, or judgment, except with respect to the rent so accepted.

19. Holding Over. Lessee shall vacate the Premises and deliver the same to Lessor upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. In the event of holding over by Lessee after the expiration or termination of this Lease, such holding over shall be on a month-to-month tenancy and all of the terms and provisions of this Lease shall be applicable during such period, except that in addition to the payment of Additional Rent, Lessee shall pay Lessor as Monthly Base Rent during such holdover an amount equal to the greater of (i) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Monthly Base Rent in effect at the expiration of the term, or (ii) the then market rent for comparable research and development/office space in the Milpitas market area. Lessee shall be liable to Lessor for all costs, expenses, and consequential damages incurred by Lessor as a result of such holdover, including but not limited to damages resulting from Lessor’s inability to timely deliver possession of the Premises to a new tenant. The rental payable during such holdover period without Lessor’s written consent shall be payable to Lessor on demand.

20. Damage or Destruction.

(a) In the event of a total destruction of the Building during the term from any cause, either party may elect to terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to the other party within thirty (30) days after the casualty occurs. A total destruction shall be deemed to have occurred for this purpose if the Building or the Premises that are the subject of this Lease are destroyed to the extent of seventy-five percent (75%) or more of the replacement cost thereof. If this Lease is not terminated, Lessor shall repair and restore the Premises in a diligent manner and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent of the Premises which are the subject of this Lease shall be abated in accordance with Paragraph 20(c) below.

(b) In the event of a partial destruction of the Building or the Premises to an extent less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the replacement cost thereof, and if Lessor reasonably believes that the damage thereto can be repaired, reconstructed, or restored within a period of two hundred seventy (270) days from the date of such casualty, there are at least twelve (12) months remaining in the term of this Lease, and the casualty is from a cause which is normally insured under a standard policy of “all risk” property insurance or actually insured by any property insurance then carried by Lessor as to which Lessor receives proceeds adequate to restore the damage, Lessor shall forthwith repair the same, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated in accordance with Paragraph 20(c) below. If any of the foregoing conditions are not met, Lessor shall have the option of either repairing and restoring the Building, or terminating this Lease by giving written notice of termination to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the casualty. If Lessor elects or is required to repair and restore the damage to the Premises, and such repair and restoration is not completed within 270 days from the date of the damage, then Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease if Lessor fails to complete such repair within forty-five (45) days (which 45-day period shall be extended by one day for each day of any delay to the completion of the restoration and repair outside of the reasonable control of Lessor, other than for financial reasons, but not to exceed a total of 90 additional days of any such delay) after written notice from Lessee.

(c) In the event of repair, reconstruction, or restoration as provided herein, the Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated proportionally in the ratio which Lessee’s use of the Premises is impaired during the period of such repair, reconstruction, or restoration, from the date of the casualty until such repair, reconstruction or restoration is substantially completed.

 

19


(d) With respect to any destruction of the Building which Lessor is obligated to repair, or may elect to repair, under the terms of this Paragraph 20, the provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and of Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the Civil Code of the State of California are waived by the parties. Lessor’s obligation to repair and restore the Building shall not include any alterations performed by Lessee.

(e) In the event of termination of this Lease pursuant to any of the provisions of this Paragraph 20, the Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned on a per diem basis and shall be paid to the date of the casualty. In no event shall Lessor be liable to Lessee for any damages resulting to Lessee from the occurrence of such casualty, or from the repairing or restoration of the Building, or from the termination of this Lease as provided herein, nor shall Lessee be relieved thereby from any of Lessee’s obligations hereunder, except to the extent and upon the conditions expressly set forth in this Paragraph 20.

21. Eminent Domain . If the whole or any material part of the Property is taken or condemned for all or any portion of the Term of this Lease by any competent public authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or transferred by agreement in connection with such public or quasi-public use or purpose with or without any condemnation action or proceeding being instituted, then, and in either of such event, the term of this Lease shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate as of the date when the possession of the part so taken shall be required for such use or purpose or the vesting of title in such public authority. If more than fifteen percent (15%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises, or if access to or use of the Premises is substantially impaired by a condemnation action, Lessee shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days’ notice, provided such notice is given no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such taking. Any award arising from the condemnation of any portion of the Property or the settlement thereof shall belong to and be paid to Lessor. However, Lessee may file a separate claim at Lessee’s sole cost and expense for (i) leasehold improvements installed at Lessee’s expense or other property owned by Lessee, and (ii) reasonable costs of moving and relocation by Lessee to another location and Lessee’s loss of goodwill. In all events, Lessor shall be solely entitled to any award with respect to the real property, including the bonus value of the leasehold. The then current rental, however, shall in any such case be apportioned as of the date of such termination.

22. Remedies . If Lessee fails to make any payment of rent or any other sum due under this Lease for five (5) days after delivery of written notice from Lessor; or if Lessee fails to comply with any term, provision or covenant of this Lease and does not cure such failure within fifteen (15) days after receipt by Lessee of written notice from Lessor or such shorter time period specified in this Lease (unless such default is incapable of cure within fifteen (15) days and Lessee commences cure within fifteen (15) days and thereafter diligently prosecutes the cure to completion within a reasonable time); or if Lessee’s interest herein, or any part thereof, is assigned or transferred, either voluntarily or by operation of law (except as expressly permitted by other provisions of this Lease); or if Lessee makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or if this Lease is rejected (i) by a bankruptcy trustee for Lessee, (ii) by Lessee as debtor in possession, or (iii) by failure of Lessee as a bankrupt debtor to act timely in assuming or rejecting this Lease; then any of such events shall constitute an event of default and breach of this Lease by Lessee and Lessor may, at its option, elect the remedies specified in either subparagraph (a) or (b) below. Any such rejection of this Lease referred to above shall not cause an automatic termination of this Lease. Whenever in this Lease reference is made to a default by Lessee, such reference shall refer to an event of default as defined in this Paragraph 22.

 

20


(a) Lessor may repossess the Premises and remove all persons and property therefrom. If Lessor repossesses the Premises because of a breach of this Lease, this Lease shall terminate and Lessor may recover from Lessee:

(1) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination including interest thereon at a rate equal to the Interest Rate, from the time of termination until paid;

(2) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided, including interest thereon at a rate equal to the Interest Rate, from the time of termination until paid;

(3) 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 rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided discounted at the discount rate established by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco for member banks at the time of the award plus one percent (1%); and

(4) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee’s breach or by Lessee’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.

(b) If Lessor does not repossess the Premises, then this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Lessor does not terminate Lessee’s right to possession and Lessor may enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent and other sums due from Lessee hereunder. For the purposes of this Paragraph 22, the following do not constitute a repossession of the Premises by Lessor or a termination of this Lease by Lessor:

(1) Acts of maintenance or preservation by Lessor or efforts by Lessor to relet the Premises; or

(2) The appointment of a receiver by Lessor to protect Lessor’s interests under this Lease.

(c) Lessor’s failure to perform or observe any of its obligations under this Lease or to correct a breach of any warranty or representation made in this Lease within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and extent of the failure referencing pertinent Lease provisions or if more than thirty (30) days is required to cure the breach, Lessor’s failure to begin curing within the thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecute the cure to completion, shall constitute a default. If Lessor commits a default, Lessee’s sole remedy shall be to institute an action against Lessor for damages or for equitable or injunctive relief, but in no event shall Lessee have the right to punitive damages, consequential damages, the right to terminate this Lease, or, except to the extent expressly provided for herein, the right to offset rent or rent abatement. If Lessor is in default pursuant to this Paragraph 22(b), and such default poses a material and imminent risk to the health or safety of persons or animals in the Premises, then Lessee may perform such obligations subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

21


(1) Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a written notice (“Self-Help Notice”) of Lessee’s intention to perform such repair obligations, which Self-Help Notice shall indicate Lessee’s intention to exercise its self-help rights and to perform such repair obligations which are otherwise Lessor’s responsibility hereunder. If Lessor fails to commence to cure its failure to perform within five (5) business days after receipt of the Self-Help Notice (it being understood that no cure period shall be required for Lessor defaults that pose a material and imminent risk to the health or safety of persons or animals in the Premises), Lessee may take whatever action is reasonably necessary to perform such obligations;

(2) All work performed by Lessee or its agents in accordance with this Paragraph 22(b) must be performed at a reasonable and competitive cost and rate using contractors previously approved by Lessor and in a manner so as to not interfere with any other tenant’s use of its premises; and

(3) If Lessor consents to Lessee’s performance of such work or fails to dispute promptly the need to perform the work described in Lessee’s Self-Help Notice, Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for the reasonable costs of such performance incurred in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 22(b) within thirty (30) days after Lessee’s submission to Lessor of receipted invoices therefor (accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation). Otherwise, such work shall be performed at Lessee’s sole cost and expense.

(d) All covenants and agreements to be performed by Lessee under this Lease shall be at its sole cost and expense and without abatement of rent or other sums due under this Lease, unless otherwise expressly specified in this Lease. If Lessee shall fail to pay any sum of money required to be paid by Lessee under this Lease or shall fail to perform any other act on Lessee’s part to be performed under this Lease within the time periods described in the first paragraph of Paragraph 22(a), Lessor may, but shall not be obligated so to do and without waiving or releasing Lessee from any obligations of Lessee, make any such payment or perform any such other act on Lessee’s part to be made or performed as provided in this Lease. All sums paid by Lessor, whether to fulfill Lessee’s unfulfilled payment obligations, to perform Lessee’s unfulfilled performance obligations, or to compel Lessee to fulfill or perform its obligations under this Lease, and all incidental costs, including attorneys’ fees, plus an administrative fee of five percent (5%) of all amounts so expended by Lessor, shall be deemed additional rent hereunder and shall be payable to Lessor upon demand.

23. Lessee’s Personal Property . If any personal property of Lessee remains on the Premises after (1) Lessor terminates this Lease pursuant to Paragraph 22 above following an event of default by Lessee, or (2) after the expiration of the Lease Term or after the termination of this Lease pursuant to any other provisions hereof, Lessor shall give written notice thereof to Lessee pursuant to applicable law. Lessor shall thereafter release, store, and dispose of any such personal property of Lessee in accordance with the provisions of applicable law.

24. Notices. All notices, demands, consents or approvals (collectively, “Notices”) which may or are required to be given by either party to the other under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been fully given (a) when received or refused, if personally delivered, (b) seventy-two (72) hours after being deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, sent by Certified or Registered Mail, or (c) twenty-four (24) hours after being deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier service; provided that any notice received on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday observed in Milpitas, CA shall not be deemed received until the next business day. Each Notice shall be addressed to Lessor and Lessee at the following address, or to such place as either party may from time to time designate in a written notice to the other party:

 

22


Lessor:      Berrueta Family L.P.
     PO Box 61183
     Sunnyvale, CA 94088-1183
Lessee:      The Premises

25. Estoppel Certificate . Lessee and Lessor shall within ten (10) business days following request by the other party (the “Requesting Party’), execute and deliver to the Requesting Party an estoppel certificate (1) certifying that this Lease has not been modified and certifying that this Lease is in full force and effect, or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect; (2) stating the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if at all; (3) stating the amount of any Security Deposit held by Lessor; (4) acknowledging that there are not any uncured defaults on the part of the responding party or, to the responding party’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the Requesting Party hereunder, or if there are uncured defaults, stating the nature of such uncured defaults; and (5) any other provisions reasonably requested by either party.

26. Signage . Lessee shall have the right to place its logo on a portion of the monument sign for the Building designated by Lessor. Lessee may also install directory signage and Building standard suite identification signage at Lessee’s expense, subject to Lessor’s approval thereof. All of Lessee’s signage shall comply with the City of Milpitas sign ordinances and regulations and shall be subject to Lessor’s approval as to the specific location, size and design thereof. The cost of design, installation, maintenance, repair and removal of Lessee’s signage as permitted herein shall be paid by Lessee. Any additional signage shall be subject to Lessor’s prior approval and, if approved, shall be installed at Lessee’s expense.

27. Real Estate Brokers. Lessor shall pay a leasing commission to Kidder Mathews pursuant to a separate agreement between Lessor and Kidder Mathews. Each party represents and warrants to the other party that it has not had any dealings with any real estate broker, finder, or other person with respect to this Lease other than Kidder Mathews, who has acted as exclusive leasing agent for both parties, and each party shall hold harmless the other party from all damages, expenses, and liabilities resulting from any claims that may be asserted against the other party by any other broker, finder, or other person with whom the other party has or purportedly has dealt.

28. Parking. Lessee shall have the right to the nonexclusive use of its to its Pro Rata Share of vehicular parking spaces on the Land at no additional cost to Lessee in the parking area for the Building, subject to such reasonable rules and regulations for such parking facilities which may be established or altered by Lessor at any time from time to time during the Lease Term, provided that such rules and regulations shall not unreasonably interfere with Lessee’s parking rights. Vehicles of Lessee or its employees shall not park in driveways or occupy parking spaces or other areas reserved for deliveries, or loading or unloading.

29. Subordination; Attornment.

(a) This Lease, without any further instrument, shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the lien of any and all mortgages and deeds of trust which may hereafter be placed on, against or affect Lessor’s estate in the real property of which the Premises form a part, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to cause the beneficiary of any deed of trust executed by Lessor as trustor after the date hereof, to execute a recognition and non-disturbance agreement, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessee, Lessee and such beneficiary which provides that so long as Lessee is not in default (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) hereunder (1) this Lease shall not be terminated, and (2) that upon acquiring title to the Property by foreclosure or otherwise such holder shall recognize all of Lessee’s rights hereunder which accrue thereafter.

 

23


(b) In confirmation of such subordination, Lessee covenants and agrees to execute and deliver within ten (10) days of Lessor’s request any certificate or other instrument which Lessor may reasonably deem proper to evidence such subordination in commercially reasonable form (which document recognizes Lessee’s rights under this Lease); provided, however, that if any person or persons purchasing or otherwise acquiring the real property of which the Premises form a part by any sale, sales and/or other proceedings under such mortgages and/or deeds of trust, shall elect to continue this Lease in full force and effect in the same manner and with like effect as if such person or persons had been named as Lessor herein, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as aforesaid, and Lessee hereby attorns and agrees to attorn to such person or persons in writing upon request. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Lease with respect to any deed of trust or mortgage entered into by Lessor following the date of this Lease, Lessee’s subordination of this Lease shall be subject to receiving a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in a commercially reasonable form from the beneficiary of such deed of trust or mortgage. Lessor represents there is not currently a mortgage encumbering the Property.

30. No Termination Right . Lessee shall not have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of any default by Lessor, and Lessee’s remedies in the event of a default by Lessor shall be limited to the remedy set forth in Paragraph 22(c).

31. Lessor’s Entry . Except in the case of an emergency and except for permitted entry during Lessee’s normal working hours, both of which may occur without prior notice to Lessee, Lessor and Lessor’s agents shall provide Lessee with at least twenty-four (24) hours’ notice prior to entry of the Premises. Lessor may enter the Premises for any reasonable purpose related to Lessor’s ownership of the Property. Such entry by Lessor and Lessor’s agents shall not impair Lessee’s operations more than reasonably necessary and shall comply with Lessee’s reasonable security measures, if any.

32. Attorneys’ Fees. If any action at law or in equity shall be brought to recover any rent under this Lease, or for or on account of any breach of or to enforce or interpret any of the provisions of this Lease or for recovery of the possession of the Premises, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party costs of suit and reasonable attorneys’ fees, the amount of which shall be fixed by the court and shall be made a part of any judgment rendered.

33. Quiet Enjoyment . Upon payment by Lessee of the rent for the Premises and the observance and performance of all of the covenants, conditions, and provisions on Lessee’s part to be observed and performed under this Lease within applicable notice and cure periods, Lessee shall have quiet enjoyment and possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the provisions of this Lease.

34. Financial Information. Lessee represents and warrants to Lessor that all financial and other information that it has provided to Lessor prior to the date of this Lease is true, correct and complete.

35. SDN List . Lessee and Lessor each represents and warrants to the other party that to the warranting party’s knowledge the warranting party is not, and the entities or individuals that constitute the warranting party, that may own or control the warranting party, or that may be owned or controlled by the warranting party (in all cases, other than through the ownership of publicly traded, direct or indirect ownership interests) (each a “Subject Party’) are not, (i) in violation of any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering, or (ii) among the individuals or entities identified on any list compiled pursuant to Executive Order 13224 or published by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S. Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) for the purpose of identifying suspected terrorists or on the most current list published

by the OFAC at its official website, http://www.treas.gov/ofac/tllsdn.pdf or any replacement website or other replacement official publication of such list which identifies an “Specially Designated National” or “blocked person” (either of which are referred to herein as a “SDN”). If at any time during the Lease Term the other party discovers that the warranting party has breached the foregoing representations and warranties, or the other party reasonably believes that the warranting party or any Subject Party is in violation of any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering or that the warranting party or any Subject Party is identified as an SDN, the warranting party Lessee shall be deemed in default under this Lease following three (3) business days written notice from other party to the warranting party unless, within such three day period, the warranting party delivers written evidence, reasonably acceptable to other party, that the warranting party is not in violation of such laws or that the warranting party (or the Subject Party, as applicable) is not a person or entity identified as an SDN. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the foregoing sentence, and without further notice, any default by Lessee under this Paragraph 35 shall be deemed an incurable default by Lessee and, in addition to any other rights and remedies that Lessor may have upon such default, Lessor shall also have the right to immediately terminate this Lease upon written notice to Lessee and recover possession of the Premises.

36. Intentionally Deleted.

37. Intentionally Deleted.

38. General Provisions.

(a) Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by any third person to create the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture of any association between Lessor and Lessee, and neither the method of computation of rent nor any other provisions contained in this Lease nor any acts of the parties hereto shall be deemed to create any relationship between Lessor and Lessee other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.

(b) Each and all of the provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and except as otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this Lease, their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, subject at all times, nevertheless, to all agreements and restrictions contained elsewhere in this Lease with respect to the assignment, transfer, encumbering, or subletting of all or any part of Lessee’s interest in this Lease.

(c) The captions of the paragraphs of this Lease are for convenience only and shall not be considered or referred to in resolving questions of interpretation or construction.

(d) This Lease is and shall be considered to be the only agreement between the parties hereto and their representatives and agents. All negotiations and oral agreements acceptable to both parties have been merged into and are included herein. There are no other representations or warranties between the parties and all reliance with respect to representations is solely upon the representations and agreements contained in this instrument.

(e) The laws of the State of California shall govern the validity, performance, and enforcement of this Lease. Notwithstanding which of the parties may be deemed to have prepared this Lease, this Lease shall not be interpreted either for or against Lessor or Lessee, but this Lease shall be interpreted in accordance with the general tenor of the language in an effort to reach an equitable result.

(f) Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of each of the covenants and agreements contained in this Lease.

 

25


(g) Recourse by Lessee for breach of this Lease by Lessor shall be expressly limited to the amount of Lessor’s interest in the Property and the rents, issues, insurance, condemnation, and sales proceeds actually received by Lessor, and profits therefrom, and in the event of any such breach or default by Lessor, Lessee hereby waives the right to proceed against any other assets of Lessor or against any other assets of any partner, manager or member of Lessor.

(h) Any provision or provisions of this Lease which shall be found to be invalid, void or illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect, impair, or invalidate any other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

EXHIBIT “D”

Work Letter

A. Lessee, shall have the right to perform alterations and improvements in the Premises (the “Tenant Improvements”), subject to Lessor’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee and its contractors shall not have the right to perform Tenant Improvements in the Premises unless and until Lessee has complied with all of the terms and conditions of Section 14(d) of the Lease, including, without limitation, approval by Lessor of the final plans for the Tenant Improvements and approval of the architect and contractor to be retained by Lessee to perform the Tenant Improvements. Lessee shall be responsible for all elements of the design of Lessee’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 Lessee’s furniture, appliances and equipment), and Lessor’s approval of Lessee’s plans shall in no event relieve Lessee of the responsibility for such design. Lessor’s approval of the architects and contractors to perform the Tenant Improvements shall not be unreasonably withheld. The parties agree that Lessor’s approval of the general contractor to perform the Tenant Improvements shall not be considered to be unreasonably withheld if any such general contractor (i) does not have trade references reasonably acceptable to Lessor, (ii) does not maintain insurance as required pursuant to the terms of this Lease, or (iii) is not licensed as a contractor in the state/municipality in which the Premises is located, to the extent such licensing is required under California law. Lessee acknowledges the foregoing is not intended to be an exclusive list of the reasons why Lessor may reasonably withhold its consent to a general contractor.

B. Provided Lessee is not in default beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Lessor agrees to contribute the sum of Ninety Three Thousand Eight Hundred Ninety Three and 00/100 Dollars ($93,893) (the “Allowance”) toward the cost of performing the Tenant Improvements within the Premises. The Allowance may only be used for the cost of preparing design and construction documents and mechanical, structural and electrical plans for the Tenant Improvements, plan check, license and permit fees, testing and inspection costs, and hard construction costs in connection with the Tenant Improvements and any construction management costs paid by Lessee for the Tenant Improvements. The Allowance shall be paid to Lessee within thirty (30) days following receipt by Lessor of (1) receipted bills covering all labor and materials expended and used in the Tenant Improvements; (2) a sworn contractor’s affidavit from the general contractor and a request to disburse from Lessee containing an approval by Lessee of the work done; (3) full and final waivers of lien from all contractors and subcontractors performing work in the Premises; (4) as-built plans of the Tenant Improvements; and (5) the certification of Lessee and its architect that to their knowledge the Tenant Improvements have been installed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the approved plans, and in accordance with applicable Laws. The Allowance shall be disbursed in the amount reflected on the receipted bills meeting the requirements above. Lessor acknowledges that Lessee has performed certain work to the HVAC systems serving the Premises. The Allowance may also be applied to the costs of such work performed in the six (6) month period prior to the Commencement Date of this Lease of the type described in the second sentence of this Section (B) pursuant to the procedures described in the third sentence of this Section (B). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lessor shall not be obligated to disburse any portion of the Allowance during the continuance of an uncured default under the Lease, and Lessor’s obligation to disburse shall only resume when and if such default is cured. Lessor shall be entitled to deduct from the Allowance a construction management fee for Lessor’s oversight of the Tenant Improvements requiring a permit as set forth in Section 14(d) of the Lease.

C. In no event shall the Allowance be used for the purchase of trade equipment, furniture or other items of personal property of Lessee. In the event Lessee does not use the entire Allowance by June 1, 2016, any unused amount shall accrue to the sole benefit of Lessor, it being understood that Lessee shall not be entitled to any credit, abatement or other concession in connection therewith. Lessee shall be responsible for all applicable state sales or use taxes, if any, payable in connection with the Tenant Improvements and/or Allowance.


D. Lessee agrees to accept the Premises in its “as-is” condition and configuration, subject to and without limiting Lessor’s repair, maintenance and other obligations under this Lease, it being agreed that Lessor 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 D shall not be deemed applicable to any premises other than the Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the Premises or any additions thereto 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 thereto.
