NET OFFICE-TECH LEASE

 

THIS LEASE, dated as of January 15, 1998, for purposes of reference only, is made and entered into by and between ALAMEDA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS, a California limited partnership (“Landlord”), and XENOGEN CORPORATION, a California corporation (“Tenant”).

 

WITNESSETH

 

1. Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord for the term of this Lease and at the rental and upon the conditions set forth below, the premises described in the Basic Lease Information and identified on the diagram attached hereto as Exhibit A. Landlord and Tenant agree that the amount of rentable square feet as set forth in the Basic Lease Information or, if such amount is an approximation, the final rentable square feet as determined upon completion of working drawings, shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes of this Lease. Subject to any obligations of Landlord as set forth in an exhibit to this Lease relating to initial improvement of the premises, Tenant shall accept the premises in its “as-is” condition at the commencement of the term. The premises are located within the building (the “Building”) commonly known as described in the Basic Lease Information.

 

2. Term.

 

a. The term of this Lease shall commence and, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, shall end on the dates respectively specified in the Basic Lease Information. If Landlord, tow any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the premises to Tenant at the commencement of the term, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, but in that event, subject to any contrary provisions in any agreement with Landlord related to the initial improvement of the premises, rental shall be waived for the period between commencement of the term and the time when Landlord can deliver possession. If, for any reason beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, Landlord is unable to obtain necessary governmental approvals to complete and deliver possession of the premises to Tenant, then Landlord may, upon notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease and both parties shall be relieved of any and all obligations hereunder.

 

b. Prior to the commencement of the term, Landlord shall complete the Tenant Improvements to be constructed or installed in the premises pursuant to Exhibit B attached hereto. The Tenant Improvements shall be deemed completed and possession of the premises delivered when Landlord has substantially completed the Tenant Improvements, subject only to the completion of minor items which do not materially impair the usability of the Tenant Improvements by Tenant, and Tenant shall accept the premises upon notice from Landlord that the Tenant Improvements have been so completed.

 

3. Rent.

 

a. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as rental the amount specified in the Basic Lease Information as the Base Rent, payable in advance on the commencement of the term and on or before the first day of each and every successive calendar month during the term. If the term commences on other than the first day of a calendar month, the first payment of rent shall be appropriately prorated on the basis of a 30-day month. The anniversary date for rental increases as set forth in the Basic Lease Information shall be the first calendar day of the month in which the Lease term commenced. If the last day of the term falls on a date other than die last day of the month, then the term shall be extended so that the last day of the term


shall be the last calendar day of the month in which the term would otherwise end.

 

b. Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, all amounts of money required to be paid to Landlord by Tenant under this Lease in addition to monthly rent, whether or not the same be designated “additional n nt”. If such amounts are not paid at the time provided in this Lease, they shall nevertheless be a collectable as additional rent with the next installment of monthly rent thereafter falling due, but nothing herein contained shall be deemed to suspend or delay the payment of any amount of money at the time the same becomes due and payable hereunder, or limit any other remedy of Landlord.

 

c. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by the Tenant to Landlord of rent and other amounts due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any trust deed covering the premises. Accordingly, if any installments of rent or any other sums due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord when due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder

 

d. Any amount due to Landlord, if not paid when due, shall bear interest from the date due until the date paid at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or, if a higher rate is legally permissible, at the highest rate legally permitted, provided that interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Tenant nor on any amounts upon which late charges are paid by Tenant to the extent such interest would cause the total interest to be in excess of that legally permitted. Payment of interest shall not excuse or cure any default hereunder by Tenant.

 

e. All payments due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be made to Landlord without deduction or offset in lawful money of the United States of America at Landlord’s address for notices hereunder, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing to Tenant.

 

4. Taxes and Operating Expenses.

 

a. Tenant shall pay its percentage share, as specified in the Basic Lease Information, of all Property Taxes assessed with respect to the Building during the Lease term and its percentage share of all Operating Expenses paid or incurred by Landlord during the Lease term. For the purposes hereof, “Property Taxes” shall mean all real property taxes and assessments or governmentally imposed fees or charges (and any tax levied wholly or partly in lieu thereof) levied, assessed, confirmed, imposed or which have become a lien against the Building (which for the purposes of defining “Property Taxes” shall include the land underlying the Building), and “Operating Expenses” shall mean: (I) all costs of


management, operation, maintenance, and repair of the Building, (2) the cost of all insurance maintained by Landlord with respect to the Building and (3) the share allocable to the Building of dues and assessments payable under any reciprocal easement or common area maintenance agreements or declaration or by any owners’ associations affecting the Building. Landlord shall credit against Taxes otherwise payable by Tenant during any tax fiscal year any tax increment reimbursements from the West End Community Improvement District received by Landlord for the same period from secured roll real property taxes attributable to the Building.

 

b. In the event the Building is not separately assessed for tax purposes, then the Property Taxes to be paid by Tenant shall be Tenant’s percentage share of the product obtained by multiplying the total of the real property taxes and assessments levied against the tax parcel of which the Building is a part, less the credit for tax increment reimbursements described above, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable area of the Building and the denominator of which is total rentable area of all improvements located within the tax parcel of which the Building is a part.

 

c. Tenant shall pay to Landlord each month at the same time and in the same manner as monthly Base Rent  1/12th of Landlord’s estimate of Property Taxes and Operating Expenses for the then current calendar year. Within 90 days after the close of each calendar year, or as soon after such 90-day period as practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of actual Property Taxes and Operating Expenses for such calendar year. If on the basis of such statement Tenant owes an amount that is less than the estimated payments for such calendar year previously made by Tenant, Landlord shall refund such excess to Tenant. If on the basis of such statement Tenant owes an amount that is more than the estimated payments for such calendar year previously made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within 30 days after delivery of the statement. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this subparagraph with respect to the reconciliation between estimated payments and actual Property Taxes and Operating Expenses for the last year of the term shall survive the termination of the Lease.

 

5. Other Taxes. Tenant shall pay or reimburse Landlord for any taxes upon, measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures, and other personal property located in the premises or leasehold improvements made in or to the premises at Tenant’s expense; for any taxes, if any, measured by or reasonably attributable to Tenant Improvements paid for by Landlord or Tenant in excess of $30.00 per square foot; for any taxes, assessments, fees, or charges imposed by any public authority or private community maintenance association upon or by reason of the development, possession, use or occupancy of the premises or the parking facilities used by Tenant in connection with the premises; and for any gross receipts tax imposed with respect to the rental payable hereunder.

 

6. Use.

 

a. The premises shall be used and occupied by Tenant solely for the use set forth in the Basic Lease Information. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, comply promptly with all applicable statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, and requirements in effect during the term regulating Tenant’s activities or the use by Tenant of the premises. Tenant shall not use or permit the use of the premises in any manner that will tend to create waste or a nuisance, or which shall tend unreasonably to disturb other tenants of the Building or adjacent buildings, nor shall Tenant place or maintain any signs on or visible from the exterior of the premises without Landlord’s written consent, or use any corridors, sidewalks, or other areas outside of the premises for storage or any purpose other than access to the premises. Except as provided in paragraph 6(b) below, Tenant shall not use, keep, or permit to be used or kept on the premises any foul or noxious gas or substance, nor shall Tenant do or permit to be done anything in and about the premises, either in connection with activities hereunder expressly permitted or otherwise, which would cause a


cancellation of any policy of insurance (including fire insurance) maintained by Landlord in connection with the premises or the Building or which would violate the terms of any covenants, conditions, or restrictions affecting the Building or the land on which it is located.

 

b. Tenant shall strictly comply with all statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and precautions now or hereafter mandated or advised by any federal, state, local or other governmental agency with respect to the use, generation, storage, or disposal of hazardous, toxic, or radioactive materials (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”). As herein used, Hazardous Materials shall include, but not be limited to, those materials identified in Sections 66680 through 66685 of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations, Division 4, Chapter 30, as amended from time to time, and those substances defined as “hazardous substances,” “hazardous materials,” “hazardous wastes,” “chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity,” “radioactive materials,” or other similar designations in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq., the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. Section 1801 et seq., 33 U.S.C. Section 1251 et seq., 42 U.S.C. Section 300(f) et seq., 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq., California Health and Safety code Section 25249.5 et seq., California Water Code Section 13000 et seq., California Health and Safety Code Section 39000 et seq. and any other governmental statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, and precautions adopted pursuant to the preceding laws or other similar laws, regulations and guidelines now or hereafter in effect. Tenant shall not cause, or allow anyone else to cause, any Hazardous Materials to be used, generated, stored, or disposed of on or about the premises or the Building other than reasonable quantities of office and cleaning supplies in their retail containers. Tenant shall defend (with counsel approved by Landlord), indemnify and hold Landlord, its trustees, employees and agents, any entity having a security interest in the premises or the Building, and its and their employees and agents (collectively, “Indemnities”) harmless from and against, and reimburse the Indemnities for, all liabilities, claims, costs, damages, and depreciation of property value, including all foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages, directly or indirectly arising out of the use, generation, storage, or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant, including, without limitation, the cost of any required or necessary investigation, monitoring, repair, cleanup, or detoxification and the preparation of any closure or other required plans, whether such action is required or necessary prior to or following the termination of this Lease, as well as penalties, fines and claims for contribution to the full extent that such action is attributable, directly or indirectly, to the use, generation, storage, or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant. Neither the consent by Landlord to the use, generation, storage, or disposal of Hazardous Materials nor the strict compliance by Tenant with all statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and precautions pertaining to Hazardous Materials shall excuse Tenant from Tenant’s obligation of indemnification set forth above. Tenant’s obligations under this paragraph 6 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

7. Utilities.

 

a. Tenant shall pay for all water, sewer, gas, electricity, heat, cooling, energy, telephone, refuse collection, alarm monitoring services, and other utility-type services furnished to Tenant or the premises, together with all related installation or connection charges or deposits. Wherever it is practical to do so such services shall be separately metered or charged to Tenant by the provider thereof and paid for directly by Tenant. To the extent any of the foregoing services are provided by Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the provision of such services as billed by the provider thereof based on Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the level of

 


Tenant’s use or consumption of such services. Landlord shall bill Tenant for such services as incurred and payment shall be made by Tenant within ten (10) days after submittal of Landlord’s statement.

 

b. Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or be liable for any damages directly or indirectly resulting therefrom, and there shall not be any rent abatement, by reason of any interruption or curtailment whatsoever in utility services which is due to fire, accident, strike, governmental authority, act of God or other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or any temporary interruption in such service which is necessary to the making of alterations, repairs or improvements to the Buildings or any part of it.

 

8. Maintenance, Repairs and Alterations.

 

a. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 10 below, and except for damages caused by Tenant, its agents or invitees, Landlord shall keep in good condition and repair the foundations and exterior walls and roof of the Building and all common areas within the Building not leased to tenants. Tenant expressly waives the benefits of any statute which would otherwise afford Tenant the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense or to terminate this Lease because of Landlord’s failure to keep the premises or the Building in good order, condition, and repair.

 

b. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, maintain the interior portion of the premises (including, but not limited to, all plumbing and electrical connections, outlets and lightbulbs) in good condition and repair. If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, enter the premises and put them in the same condition as upon the commencement of the Lease term, and Landlord’s out-of-pocket costs thereof shall automatically become due and payable as additional rent. Tenant shall be responsible for the provision, at its own expense, of appropriate janitorial service for the premises. Tenant shall also cause to be maintained, at its expense and in good operating condition and repair, all heat, ventilating, and air conditioning equipment installed in the premises. If Landlord so elects, Tenant shall retain the services of Landlord or a maintenance company retained by it to perform maintenance of Tenant’s heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment and shall reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof upon demand. At the expiration of the term Tenant shall deliver up possession of the premises in good condition and repair, only ordinary wear and tear excepted.

 

c. Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior consent, make any alterations, improvements, or additions in or about the premises. In requesting Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall submit to Landlord complete drawings and specifications describing such work and the identity of the proposed contractor. As a condition to giving such consent, Landlord may, among other things, require that Tenant remove any such alterations, improvements or additions at the expiration of the term, and restore the premises to their prior condition. Before commencing any work relating to alterations, additions, or improvements affecting the premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the expected date of commencement thereof and of the anticipated cost thereof, and shall furnish such information as shall reasonably be requested by Landlord substantiating Tenant’s ability to pay for such work. Landlord shall then have the right at any time and from time to time to post and maintain on the premises such notices as Landlord reasonably deems necessary to protect the premises and Landlord from mechanics’ liens or any other liens. In any event, Tenant shall pay when due all claims for labor or materials furnished to or for Tenant at or for use in the premises. Tenant shall not permit any mechanics’ liens to be levied against the premises for any labor or materials furnished to Tenant or claimed to have been furnished to Tenant or to Tenant’s agents or contractors in connection with work of any character performed or claimed to have been performed on the premises by or at the direction of Tenant. All alterations, improvements, or additions in or about the premises performed by or on behalf of Tenant shall be done in a first-class, workmanlike manner, shall not unreasonably lessen the value of the leasehold improvements in the premises, and shall be completed in


compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, and orders of any governmental authority having jurisdiction thereover, as well as the requirements of insurers of the premises and the Building. Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall remove any contractor, subcontractor, or material supplier from the premises and the Building if the work or presence of such person or entity results in labor disputes in or about the Building or the Marina Village Project, or damage to the premises, Building or Project. Unless Landlord requires their removal as set forth above, all alterations, improvements or additions which may be made on the premises shall become the property of Landlord and remain upon and be surrendered with the premises at the expiration of the term; provided, however, that Tenant’s machinery, equipment and trade fixtures, other than any which may be affixed to the premises so that they cannot be removed without material damage to the premises, shall remain the property of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant provided further Tenant shall be responsible for repairing all damage to the premises caused by such removal.

 

9. Insurance and Indemnity.

 

a. Tenant shall obtain and maintain during the term of this Lease comprehensive general liability insurance with combined single limit for personal injury and property damage in a form and with carriers acceptable to Landlord in an amount not less than $1,000,000, and employer’s liability and workers’ compensation insurance as required by law. Tenant’s comprehensive general liability insurance policy shall be endorsed to provide that (i) it may not be cancelled or altered in such a manner as adversely to affect the coverage afforded thereby without 30 days’ prior written notice to Landlord, (ii) Landlord is named as additional insured, (iii) the insurer acknowledges acceptance of the mutual waiver of claims by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to subparagraph (b) below, and (iv) such insurance is primary with respect to Landlord and that any other insurance maintained by Landlord is excess and noncontributing with such insurance. If, in the opinion of Landlord’s insurance adviser, based on a substantial increase in recovered liability claims generally, the specified amounts of coverage are no longer adequate, such coverage shall be appropriately increased. Prior to the commencement of the term, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a duplicate of such policy or a certificate thereof to Landlord for retention by it, with endorsements, and at least 30 days prior to the expiration of such policy or any renewal thereof, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a replacement or renewal binder, followed by duplicate policy or certificate within a reasonable time thereafter. If Tenant fails to obtain such insurance or to furnish Landlord any such duplicate policy or certificate as herein required, Landlord may, at its election, without notice to Tenant and without any obligation to do so, procure and maintain such coverage and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand as additional rent for any premium so paid by Landlord.

 

b. Landlord hereby waives all claims against Tenant, and Tenant’s officers, directors, partners, employees, agents and representatives for loss or damage to the extent that such loss or damage is insured against under any valid and collectible insurance policy insuring Landlord or would have been insured against but for any deductible amount under any such policy, and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord including Landlord’s officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, and representatives for loss or damage to the extent such loss or damage is insured against under any valid and collectible insurance policy insuring Tenant or required to be maintained by Tenant under this Lease, or would have been insured against but for any deductible amount under any such policy.

 

c. As this Lease does not involve the public interest and insurance is available to Tenant which will protect it against such claims, damage, injury or death, Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord for damage to any property or injury to or death of any person in, upon or about the premises or the Building arising at any time and from any cause. Tenant


shall hold Landlord harmless from and defend Landlord against all claims (except such as arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors) (i) for damage to any property or injury to or death of any person arising from the use of the premises by Tenant, or (ii) arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees, agents, or contractors in, upon or about those portions of the Building, other than the premises. The foregoing indemnity obligation of Tenant shall include reasonable attorneys’ fees, investigation costs, and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord from the first notice that any claim or demand is to be made or may be made. The provisions of this paragraph 9 shall survive the termination of this Lease with respect to any damage, injury, or death occurring prior to such termination.

 

10.    Damage or Destruction.

 

a. If during the term the premises are totally or partially destroyed, or any other portion of the Building is damaged in such a way that Tenant’s use of the premises is materially interfered with, from a risk which is wholly covered by insurance, subject to the availability of insurance proceeds, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to repair the damage or destruction and this Lease shall not be terminated; provided, however, that if in the opinion of Landlord’s architect the work of repair cannot be completed in 90 days Landlord may at its election terminate the Lease by notice given to Tenant.

 

b. If curing the term the premises are totally or partially destroyed, or any other portion of the Building is damaged in such away that Tenant’s use of the premises is materially interfered with, from a risk which is not wholly covered by insurance, Landlord may at its election by notice given to Tenant restore the premises or terminate this Lease.

 

c. In case of destruction or damage which materially interferes with Tenant’s use of the premises, if this Lease is not terminated as above provided, rent shall be abated during the period required for the work of repair based upon the degree of interference with Tenant’s use of the premises. Except for abatement of rent, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for any loss suffered by Tenant due to damage or destruction of the premises or any work of repair undertaken as herein provided. Tenant expressly waives the provisions of Sections 1932 and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code.

 

11.    Eminent Domain. If all or any part of the premises shall be taken as a result of the exercise of power of eminent domain, this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date of taking, and in the case of a partial taking, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as to the balance of the premises by notice to the other within thirty (30) days after such date if the portion of the premises taken shall be of such extent and nature as substantially to handicap, impede or impair Tenant’s use of the balance of the premises for Tenant’s purposes. In the event of any taking, Landlord shall be entitled to any and all compensation, damages, income, rent, awards, or any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection therewith, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease or otherwise. In the event of a partial taking of the premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease, the monthly rental thereafter to be paid shall be equitably reduced on a square footage basis.

 

12.    Assignment and Subletting.

 

a. Tenant shall not assign this Lease or any interest herein or sublet the premises or any part thereof without the prior consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; Tenant shall not hypothecate this Lease or any interest herein or permit the use of the premises by any party other than Tenant without the prior consent of Landlord, which


consent may be withheld by Landlord in its absolute discretion. This Lease shall not, nor shall any interest herein, be assignable as to the interest of Tenant by operation of law without the consent of Landlord. Any of the foregoing acts without such consent shall be void and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate this Lease. In connection with each consent requested by Tenant, Tenant shall submit to Landlord the terms of the proposed transaction, the identity of the parties to the transaction, the proposed documentation for the transaction, current financial statements of any proposed assignee or sublessee and all other information reasonably requested by Landlord concerning the proposed transaction and the parties involved therein.

 

b. Without limiting the other instances in which it may be reasonable for: Landlord to withhold its consent to an assignment or subletting, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent in the following instances:

 

1. if the proposed assignee or sublessee is a governmental agency;

 

2. if, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the use of the premises by the proposed assignee or sublessee would entail any alterations which would lessen the value of the leasehold improvements in the premises, or would require increased services by Landlord:

 

3. if, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the financial worth of the proposed assignee or sublessee does not meet the credit standards applied by Landlord for other tenants under leases with comparable terms, or the character, reputation or business of the proposed assignee or sublessee is not consistent with the quality of the other tenancies in the Building;

 

4. in the case of a subletting of less than the entire premises, if the subletting would result in the division of the premises into more than two subparcels, would create a subparcel of a configuration that is not suitable for normal leasing purposes, or would require access to be provided through space leased or held for lease to another tenant or improvements to be made outside of the premises; or

 

5. if, at the time consent is requested or at any time prior to the granting of consent, Tenant is in default under the Lease or would be in default under the Lease but for the pendency of any grace or cure period under paragraph 13 below.

 

c. If at any time or from time to time during the term of this Lease Tenant desires to sublet all or any part of the premises, Tenant shall give notice to Landlord setting forth the terms of the proposed subletting and the space so proposed to be sublet. Landlord shall have the option, exercisable by notice given to Tenant within 20 days after Tenant’s notice is given, either to sublet from Tenant such space at the rental and other terms set forth in Tenant’s notice, or, if the proposed subletting is for the entire premises for a sublet term ending within the last year of the term of this Lease, to terminate this Lease. If Landlord does not exercise such option, Tenant shall be free to sublet such space to any third party on the same terms set forth in the notice given to Landlord, subject to obtaining Landlord’s prior consent as herein above provided.

 


d. As used in this paragraph 12, the term, “assign” or “assignment” shall include, without limitation, any sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or any position of Tenant’s estate under this Lease, whether voluntary or involuntary, and whether by operation of law or otherwise including, any of the following:

 

1. If Tenant is a corporation: (i) any dissolution, merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of Tenant or (ii) a sale of more than 50% of the value of the assets of Tenant or (iii) if Tenant is a corporation with fewer than 500 shareholders, sale or other transfer of a controlling percentage of the capital stock of Tenant. The phrase “controlling percentage” means the ownership of, and the right to vote, stocks possessing at least 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Tenant’s stock issues, outstanding and permitted to vote for the election of directors;

 

2. If Tenant is a trust the transfer of more than 50% of the beneficial interest of Tenant, or the dissolution of the trust;

 

3. If Tenant is a partnership or joint venture, the withdrawal, or the transfer of the interest of any general partner or joint venturer or the dissolution of the partnership or joint venture;

 

4. If Tenant is composed of tenants-in-common, the transfer of interest of any cotenants or the partition or dissolution of the cotenancy.

 

e. No sublessee (other than Landlord if it exercises its option pursuant to subparagraph (c) above) shall have a right further to sublet, and any assignment by a sublessee of its sublease shall be subject to Landlord’s prior consent in the same manner as if Tenant were entering into a new sublease.

 

f. In the case of an assignment, one half of all sums or other economic consideration received by Tenant as a result of such assignment shall be paid to Landlord. In the event such consideration is received by Tenant in installments, the portion of each installment to be paid to Landlord shall be determined by multiplying the installment by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount of the foregoing permitted deductions and the denominator of which is the total consideration receivable by Tenant as a result of such assignment.

Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease.

2. In the event of any such termination of this Lease, Landlord may then or at any time thereafter, reenter the premises and remove therefrom all persons and property and again repossess and enjoy the premises, without prejudice to any other remedies that Landlord may have by reason of Tenant’s default or of such termination.

Code.

If Landlord so uses or applies all or any portion of the Deposit, then within 10 days after demand therefor Tenant shall Deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Deposit to the full amount thereof, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Deposit separate from its general accounts.

  b. The first sentence of paragraph 21g. of the Lease is hereby amended to read as follows:

 

  g. Landlord and Landlord’s agents shall have the right to enter the premises at reasonable times upon at least 24 hours’ prior notice, except in emergencies, for the purpose of inspecting the same, showing the same to prospective purchasers, tenants, lenders and other interested parties, and making such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the premises or to the Building as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable.

 

  c. The following language is hereby added to the end of paragraph 21k. of the Lease, to read as follows: and liabilities accruing prior to such sale.

 

  d. A new subparagraph o. is hereby added to paragraph 21 of the Lease, to read as follows:

 

  o. Except as otherwise set forth, whenever this Lease requires an approval, consent, designation, determination, selection or judgment by either Landlord or Tenant, such approval, consent, designation, determination, selection or judgment and any conditions imposed thereby shall be reasonable and shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and, in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, each party shall at all times act reasonably and in good faith.

 

  e. A new subparagraph p. is hereby added to paragraph 21 of the Lease, to read as follows:

 

  p. Landlord and Tenant represent to each other that except for Rico Cheung of Vertex Real Estate Group (“Broker”), they have had no contacts in connection with this Lease with any broker, agent or finder. Landlord shall be responsible for any compensation payable to Broker in connection with this Lease and Landlord and Tenant shall each indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other from commissions or other compensation claimed by any other broker, finder and/or agent in connection with this Lease based upon contacts with the indemnifying party.

 

18. Options to Extend Term:

 

  a. Tenant shall have two options to extend the term of the Lease each for a three-year period (an “Option Period”) with the first Option Period commencing upon the expiration of the initial term of the Lease; provided, however, such options shall be subject to the following conditions:

 

i.    At the time each option is exercised, this Lease shall be in full force and effect, Tenant shall not be in default hereunder and, as to the second Option Period, Tenant shall have validly exercised its option with respect to the first Option Period.

 

ii.    Each option must be exercised by notice given to Landlord not earlier than 12 months and not later than 6 months prior to the then-scheduled expiration of the term of this Lease.

 

  b. In the event an option is timely and effectively exercised, the term shall be extended for three additional years, upon all of the terms and conditions of the Lease; provided, however, that the Base Rent shall be the then fair market rental value of the Premises.

 

i.    For the purposes hereof, the fair market rental value of the Premises shall be the


monthly rental rate per square foot of rentable area then prevailing for comparable improved space (without taking into account the value of improvements made by Tenant at its cost) in Northwestern Alameda County, multiplied by the rentable area of the Premises. If Tenant in good faith disputes Landlord’s determination of fair market rental value, Tenant shall so notify Landlord and the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. If such dispute is not resolved by negotiation between the parties within 30 days, then fair market rental value shall be determined by appraisal. Tenant shall pay Base Rent when due based upon Landlord’s determination of fair market rental value, subject to retroactive adjustment between the parties if the determination by appraisal is different from Landlord’s determination.

 

ii. When fair market rental value is to be determined by appraisal, within 10 days after the expiration of the 30-day negotiation period, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint as an appraiser, a real estate appraiser with at least ten years of experience in appraising commercial real property in Alameda County, and give notice of such appointment to the other. If either Landlord or Tenant shall fail to appoint an appraiser within 10 days after receiving notice of the identity of the other party’s appointed appraiser, then the single appraiser appointed shall be the sole appraiser and determine the fair market rental value of the Premises. In the event each party appoints an appraiser, such appraisers shall, within 30 days after the appointment of the last of them to be appointed, complete their determinations of fair market rental value and furnish the same to Landlord and Tenant. If the low appraisal varies from the higher appraisal by 5% or less, the fair market rental value shall be the average of the two valuations. If the low appraisal varies from the high appraisal by more than 5%, the two appraisers shall, within 10 days after submission of the last appraisal report, appoint a third appraiser who shall meet the qualifications set forth in this paragraph. If the two appraisers shall be unable to agree on the selection of a third appraiser in a timely manner then either Landlord or Tenant may request such appointment by the presiding judge of the Superior Court of Alameda County. The third appraiser, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for or against either party. Such third appraiser shall, within 30 days after appointment, make a determination of fair market rental value and submit an appraisal report to Landlord and Tenant. The fair market rental value of the Premises shall be as determined by the third appraiser, unless it is less than the valuation set forth in the lower appraisal previously obtained, in which case the valuation set forth in the lower prior appraisal shall be controlling, or unless it is greater than the valuation set forth in the higher appraisal previously obtained, in which case the valuation set forth in the higher prior appraisal shall be controlling. All fees and costs incurred in connection with the determination of fair market rental value by appraisal shall be paid one-half by Landlord and one-half by Tenant. Prior to the commencement of the option period, Tenant and Landlord shall execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth the option period and revised Base Rent.

 

iii. Even though Tenant has exercised its option, Tenant may rescind its exercise at any time at least six (6) months prior to the then- scheduled expiration of the term provided that Tenant shall pay within 30 days following Landlord’s request for all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the appraisal process.

 

19. Right of First Offer. Tenant shall have a right of first offer to lease any space (the “Offered Space”) which becomes available in the building commonly identified as 960 Atlantic Avenue if and when such space becomes available. Tenant’s rights under this paragraph shall be conditioned upon: (a) 960 Atlantic Avenue continuing to be owned by the same entity which is the Landlord under this Lease, (b) the absence of any prior rights in favor of the present and any future tenants in 960 Atlantic Avenue, as such rights may exist or be granted in the future; and (c) Tenant not being in default under this Lease. Subject to the foregoing, if and when any space does become available for lease in 960 Atlantic Avenue, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant of the availability of the Offered Space and the terms on which Landlord would be willing to enter into a lease for such space with Tenant. If Tenant, by notice to Landlord given within five (5) business days following the giving of Landlord’s notice, so elects, the parties shall thereafter negotiate in good faith for ten (10) business days with respect to the potential of leasing the Offered Space to Tenant. If by the end of such ten-day period, Landlord and Tenant have not entered into a binding agreement with respect to the lease of the Offered Space to Tenant, or if Tenant initially does not give Landlord notice of its desire to enter into such negotiations within the five-day business period set forth above, Landlord shall thereafter be free to deal with the Offered Space without further reference to Tenant, unless and until one (1) year or more thereafter the Offered Space again becomes available.

 

20. Initial Improvement of the Premises.

 

a. If, within sixty (60) days following the commencement of the term, Tenant discovers that any portion of the plumbing, heating, ventilating and air-conditioning system serving the Premises which plumbing and other systems are necessary for the occupancy of the Premises for normal office (as opposed to fume hoods, animal storage, manufacturing or other special purposes) are not in good working order and condition, it may so notify Landlord and Landlord shall thereafter promptly cause such plumbing and other systems to be placed in good operating condition and repair.


b. i. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for up to $93,350 (the “TI Allowance”) for its out-of-pocket costs incurred in replacing existing carpeting in the Premises, painting the interior of the Premises and for making other alterations and improvements within the Premises (the “Tenant Improvements”). In addition, at Tenant’s request Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for up to an additional $76,788 (the “Additional TI Allowance”) for out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant in connection with additional alterations to and improvements within the Premises. No portion of the TI Allowance may be applied to pay for the costs of millwork or cabinetry which may be removed by Tenant at the end of the term, furniture or trade equipment or trade fixtures. All alterations and improvements within the Premises shall be subject to the requirements of subparagraph 8c. of Lease. Landlord shall also reimburse Tenant, and not as part of the TI Allowance for costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the Tenant Improvements to remove Hazardous Materials from the premises existing as of the commencement of the term.

 

ii. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for its out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with Tenant Improvements within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s request provided that at the time of such payment:

 

  A. Tenant has delivered to Landlord copies of building permits issued in connection with the Tenant Improvements indicating final inspection has been approved;

 

  B. Tenant has delivered to Landlord unconditional waivers and releases of lien from all parties have established a right to lien, or evidence that all applicable limitation periods for the filing of mechanics liens have expired without any such liens having been filed;

 

  C. Tenant not then being in default under the Lease; and

 

  D. Tenant delivering copies of invoices and other evidence, reasonably acceptable to Landlord of costs incurred by Tenant.

 

iii. Any amounts paid to Tenant as the Additional TI Allowance shall be re-paid by Tenant to Landlord as an increase in Base Rent as described in paragraph 2 of this Addendum.

 

21. Commencement of the lease shall be contingent upon full funding of $(6) six million dollars to Xenogen by investors no later than February 6, 1998.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Addendum as of the date of the Lease.

(i) For the purposes hereof, the fair market rental value of the premises shall be the monthly rental rate per square foot of rentable area then prevailing for comparable space (without taking into account the value of improvements made by Tenant at its cost) in Northwestern Alameda County, multiplied by the rentable area of the premises. At least sixty (60) days prior to February 1, 2003, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant of Landlord’s determination of fair market value. If Tenant in good faith disputes Landlord’s determination of fair market rental value, Tenant shall so notify Landlord within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s notice and the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute.

If the low appraisal varies from the higher appraisal by five percent (5%) or less, the fair market rental value shall be the average of the two valuations. If the low appraisal varies from the high appraisal by more than five percent (5%), the two appraisers shall, within ten (10) days after submission of the last appraisal report, appoint a third appraiser who shall meet the qualifications set forth in this paragraph. If the two appraisers shall be unable to agree on the selection of a third appraiser in a timely manner, then either Landlord or Tenant may request such appointment by the presiding judge of the Superior Court of Alameda County. The third appraiser, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for or against either party. Such third appraiser shall, within thirty (30) days after appointment, make a determination of fair market rental value and submit an appraisal report to Landlord and Tenant. The fair market rental value of the Premises shall be as determined by the third appraiser, unless it is less than the valuation set forth in the lower appraisal previously obtained, in which case the valuation set forth in the lower prior appraisal shall be controlling, or unless it is greater than the valuation set forth in the higher appraisal previously obtained, in which case the valuation set forth in the higher prior appraisal shall be controlling.
