A.Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Lease dated January 7, 2004 (the “Original Lease”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated May 21, 2004, that certain Second Amendment to Lease dated October 4, 2010, that certain Third Amendment to Lease dated April 1, 2011 and that certain Fourth Amendment to Lease dated December 14, 2012 (the Original Lease, as so amended, being referred to herein as the “Lease”), pursuant to which Landlord leases to Tenant certain premises consisting of approximately 40,702 rentable square feet (the “Premises”), located in the building located at 2929 7th Street, Berkeley, California (the “2929 Building”). In addition, pursuant to that certain Lease between Landlord and Tenant dated December 14, 2012 (the “2919 Lease”), Landlord leases approximately 14,461 rentable square feet in a building located at 2919 7th Street, Berkeley, California (the “2919 Building”).

B.The Lease by its terms shall expire on June 30, 2018 (the “Expiration Date”). Landlord and Tenant now desire to amend the Lease to provide for the extension of the Term of the Lease as to the Premises located in the 2929 Building only, and to address certain other matters, upon the following terms and conditions.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

1.Incorporation of Recitals and Defined Terms.  The foregoing Recitals are hereby incorporated herein.  Capitalized terms which are not otherwise defined in this Fifth Amendment shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease.

2.Surrender of the 2919 Building.  The 2919 Lease shall terminate effective as of June 30, 2017, or such earlier date as may be mutually agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant (the “2919 Building Lease Termination Date”). Tenant shall vacate the 2919 Building on a day before the 2919 Building Lease Termination Date pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1 of the 2919 Lease; provided, however, that Tenant shall be under no obligation to remove or restore any alterations made to the 2919 Building.

3.Extension of Term of Lease; Additional Extension Option.

(a)The Term of the Lease as to the Premises is hereby extended for a period of 90 months from the current lease expiration date of June 30, 2018 (“Current Expiration Date”) and shall now expire on December 31, 2025 (the “Extended Expiration Date”), unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the Lease. That portion of the Term commencing the day immediately following the Current Expiration Date (the “Extension Date”) and ending on the Extended Expiration Date shall be referred to herein as the “Extended Term”.

1



 

(b)The Term of the Lease shall be subject to one (1) extension option for an additional period of 24 months (the “Extension Option”), commencing on January 1, 2026 and expiring on December 31, 2027 (the “Optional Extended Term”), exercisable as follows:

(1)The Extension Option shall be upon the same material terms and conditions contained in the Lease, except that (i) the initial Monthly Base Rent for the Premises shall be 95% of the Fair Market Rent (as defined in Section 3(b)(2) below) for the Premises as of the first month of the Extension Option determined in the manner set forth in Section 3(b)(3) below, (ii) on each anniversary of the commencement date of the Optional Extended Term, the Monthly Base Rent shall increase three percent (3%), on a cumulative basis and (iii) Tenant shall accept the Premises in an “as is” condition without any obligation of Landlord to repaint, remodel, repair, improve or alter the Premises (subject, however, to the terms of Section 8.1 of the Lease).

(2)Tenant’s election to exercise the Extension Option must be given to Landlord in writing on or prior to December 31, 2024 (the “Extension Notice”). Within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of the Extension Notice, Landlord shall send Tenant written notice of Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Premises (the “Fair Market Rent Notice”).  For purposes of this Section, the term “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the base rental rate as of the date of the Fair Market Rent Notice for space comparable in size, type, location, build- out, condition and quality to the Premises under a primary lease (and not sublease) to new or renewing tenants leasing on an arms’ length basis, for a comparable term and same use with a tenant improvement allowance, free rent and other out-of- pocket concessions generally being granted at such time for such comparable space, making equitable adjustments for typical rental abatements, inducements and brokerage fees consistent with market rates, and taking into consideration such amenities as existing improvements, view, floor on which the Premises are situated and the like, situated in buildings in Emeryville/Berkeley, California. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Extension Option shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect, whether or not Tenant has timely exercised the Extension Option, if a Default exists at the time of exercise of the Extension Option or at the time of commencement of the Optional Extended Term.

(3)If Tenant properly exercises the Extension Option in accordance with Section 3(b)(2) above, the Monthly Base Rent during the Optional Extended Term shall be determined in the following manner. The Monthly Base Rent as of the commencement of the Optional Extended Term shall be adjusted to an amount equal to the Fair Market Rent for the Premises as specified in the Fair Market Rent Notice, subject to Tenant’s right of arbitration as set forth below. If Tenant believes that the Fair Market Rent specified in the Fair Market Rent Notice exceeds the actual Fair Market Rent for the Premises as of the date of the Fair Market Rent Notice, then Tenant shall so notify Landlord within fifteen (15) days of Tenant’s receipt of the Fair Market Rent Notice. If Tenant fails to so notify Landlord within such 15-day period, Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rent shall be final and binding upon the parties.  If the parties are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Rent within ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s objection to the Fair Market Rent

Notice, the amount of Monthly Base Rent as of the commencement of the Optional Extended Term shall be determined as follows:

(i)Within 20 days after the 10-day period has expired, the parties have failed to agree on the Fair Market Rent, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall obtain and deliver in writing to Landlord a determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Premises for a term equal to the Optional Extended Term from a broker (“Tenant’s Broker”) licensed in the State of California and engaged in the laboratory brokerage business in Emeryville/Berkeley, California, for at least the immediately preceding five (5) years. If Landlord accepts such determination, the Monthly Base Rent for the Optional Extended Term shall be adjusted to an amount equal to the amount determined by Tenant’s Broker.

(ii)If Landlord does not accept such determination, within 15 days after receipt of the determination of Tenant’s broker, Landlord shall designate a broker (“Landlord’s Broker”) licensed in the State of California and engaged in the laboratory brokerage business in Emeryville/Berkeley, California, for at least the immediately preceding five (5) years. Landlord’s Broker and Tenant’s Broker shall name a third broker,  similarly  qualified,  within  five  (5)  days  after  appointment  of Landlord’s Broker. Landlord’s Broker and Tenant’s Broker shall each determine the Fair Market Rent for the Premises as of the commencement of the Optional Extended Term for a term equal to the Optional Extended Term within 15  days after the appointment  of the third broker. The Monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant effective as of the commencement of the Optional Extended Term shall be adjusted to an amount equal to the determination of Fair Market Rent made by either Landlord’s Broker or Tenant’s Broker that the third broker finds to be closer to the Fair Market Rent.

(iii)Landlord  shall pay the costs and fees of Landlord’s Broker in connection with any determination hereunder, and Tenant shall pay the costs and fees of Tenant’s Broker in connection with such determination. The costs and fees of any third broker shall be paid one-half by Landlord and one-half by Tenant.

(4)If the amount of the Fair Market Rent is not determined upon as of the commencement of the Optional Extended Term, then Tenant shall continue to pay the Monthly Base Rent for the Premises (or the portion of the Premises with respect to which the Extension Option has been exercised) in effect as of the commencement of the Optional Extended Term until the amount of the Fair Market Rent is determined. When such determination is made, Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord upon demand, if there is any deficiency, or Landlord shall pay any overpayment to Tenant, if there is any overpayment.

(5)In connection with the extension of the Term pursuant to Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option, the parties acknowledge and agree that Landlord shall not be responsible for the payment to any real estate broker, salesperson or finder claiming to have represented Tenant of any commission, finder’s fee or other

compensation in connection with or as a consequence of Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option, except for the third broker as set forth in Section 3(b)(3)(iv).

(6)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s rights under this Section 3(b) are personal to the original Tenant executing the Lease (“Named Tenant”) and shall not be assigned or assignable, in whole or in part, to any third party. Any assignment or other transfer of such rights by Named Tenant shall be void and of no force or effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no sublessee of the Premises shall be permitted to exercise the rights granted to Tenant under this Section 3(b).

SECTION 2

CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS

2.1Selection of Architect; Construction Drawings. Tenant shall retain an architect approved in writing, in advance by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld (the “Architect”) to prepare the Construction Drawings. Tenant shall retain engineering consultants approved in writing, in advance by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (the “Building Consultants”) to prepare all plans and engineering Working drawings and perform all Work relating to mechanical, electrical and plumbing (“MEP”), HVAC/Air Balancing, life-safety, structural, sprinkler and riser Work.

The plans and drawings to be prepared by Architect and the Building Consultants hereunder (i.e., both the Space Plan and the Working Drawings, as each term is defined below) shall be known collectively as the “Construction Drawings.” All Construction Drawings shall comply with the drawing format and specifications reasonably determined or approved by Landlord and shall be subject  to Landlord’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All MEP drawings must be fully engineered and cannot be prepared on a “design-build” basis. Landlord’s review of the Construction Drawings shall be for its sole purpose and shall not obligate Landlord to review the same, for quality, design, Code compliance or other like matters. Accordingly, notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord’s space planner, architect, engineers, and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the Construction Drawings.

2.2Space Plan. Tenant shall supply Landlord for Landlord’s review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) with four (4) copies signed by Tenant of its space plan for the Premises (the “Space Plan”) before any architectural Working drawings or engineering drawings have been commenced.  The Space Plan shall include a layout and designation of all laboratory facilities, offices, rooms and other partitioning, their intended use, and equipment to be contained therein. Landlord may request clarification or more specific drawings for special use items not included in the Space Plan.   Landlord shall advise  Tenant within fifteen (15) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the  Space  Plan (or, if applicable, such additional information requested by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence) if the same is approved or is unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect. Landlord’s failure to respond within such fifteen (15) business day period shall be deemed approval by Landlord. Upon any disapproval by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly cause the Space Plan to be revised to correct any deficiencies or other matters Landlord may reasonably require.

2.3Working Drawings. After the Space Plan has been approved by Landlord, Tenant shall supply the Architect and the Building Consultants with a complete listing of standard and non-standard equipment and specifications, including, without limitation, B.T.U. calculations, electrical requirements and special electrical receptacle requirements, to enable the Architect and the Building Consultants to complete the Working Drawings and shall cause the Architect and the Engineers to promptly complete the architectural and engineering drawings, and Architect shall compile a fully coordinated set of drawings, including but not limited to architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire sprinkler and life safety in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the Work and to obtain all applicable permits (collectively, the “Working 

A-3

 



 

Drawings”) and shall submit the same to Landlord for Landlord’s review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Tenant shall supply Landlord with four (4) copies signed by Tenant of the Working Drawings. Landlord shall advise Tenant within fifteen (15) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Working Drawings if Landlord, in good faith, determines that the same are approved or are unsatisfactory or incomplete. Landlord’s failure to respond within such fifteen (15) business day period shall be deemed approval by Landlord. If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall promptly revise the Working Drawings to correct any deficiencies or other matters Landlord may reasonably require.

2.4Landlord’s Approval. Tenant acknowledges that it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to disapprove the Space Plan and any subsequent Working Drawings unless, at a minimum, the same are prepared on the basis that: (a) the TI Work as specified and designed comply with the requirements of the Project’s Sustainability Practices and the applicable Green Building Standards, and (b) the sprinkler systems shall be designed in compliance with the specifications provided by FM Global. Additionally, Landlord’s approval of any matter under this Work Agreement may be withheld if Landlord reasonably determines that the same would violate any provision of the Lease or this Work Agreement or would adversely affect the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning, life-safety or other systems of the Building, the curtain wall of the Building, the structure or exterior appearance of the Building.

SECTION 3

CONSTRUCTION OF THE TI WORK

3.1Tenant’s Selection of Contractors.

(a)The Contractor. Tenant shall retain a general contractor approved in writing, in advance by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, to construct the TI Work (“Contractor”).

(b)Tenant’s Agents. All subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers used by Tenant (such subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers, and the Contractor to be known collectively as “Tenant’s Agents”) must be approved in writing by Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion (Landlord will approve or disapprove Tenant’s Agents within ten (10) days following Tenant’s written request), provided that Landlord will require Tenant to retain the Building Consultants. All of Tenant’s Agents shall be licensed in the State of California, capable of being bonded and union-affiliated in compliance with all then existing master labor agreements.

3.2Construction of TI Work by Tenant’s Agents.

(a)Construction Contract. Prior to Tenant’s execution of the construction contract and general conditions with Contractor (the “Contract”), Tenant shall submit the Contract to Landlord for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Prior to the commencement of the construction of the TI Work, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a schedule of values consisting of a detailed breakdown, by trade, of the final costs to be incurred or which have been incurred, for all TI Allowance Items in connection with the design and construction of the TI Work, which costs form the basis for the amount of the Contract, segregated and allocated, as applicable, for the Premises (“Final Costs”). Prior to the commencement of construction of the TI Work, Landlord and Tenant shall identify the amount by which the Final Costs exceeds the TI Allowance (less any portion thereof already disbursed by Landlord, or in the process of being disbursed by Landlord, on or before the commencement of construction of the TI 

A-4
