Dear Dale:

This letter sets forth the terms of the agreement between you and Sangamo Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), in connection with the separation of your employment with the Company.  This letter agreement provides for all payments to which you may be entitled from the Company and its affiliates, including under the Employment Agreement between you and the Company dated August 2, 2004 and the offer letter agreement between you and the Company dated July 6, 2004 (collectively the “Employment Documents”).  

1.Termination.  February 3, 2017 was your last day of employment with the Company (the “Termination Date”).  Whether or not you sign this letter agreement, on the last day of your employment you will receive payment for all compensation and accrued vacation owed to you through the Termination Date. 

2.Equity Awards; Benefits.  

(a)The vested portion of your options will be exercisable for three (3) months following the Termination Date (i.e., until May 3, 2017), in accordance with the applicable terms set forth in your award agreements.  Any such vested portion of your options that is not exercised on or before that date, and any portion of your options that is not exercisable as of the Termination Date, shall be forfeited.  In addition, the unvested portion of your restricted stock units as of the Termination Date will be forfeited without any payment.  Attached is a schedule of your options and restricted stock units and the vested and unvested portion of each such award as of the Termination Date.

(b)Your group medical insurance benefits will end on February 28, 2017.  Regardless of signing this letter agreement, you may elect to continue receiving group medical insurance pursuant to the federal “COBRA” law, 29 U.S.C. § 1161 et seq.  All premium costs shall be paid by you on a monthly basis for as long as, and to the extent that, you remain eligible for COBRA continuation coverage.  You should consult the COBRA materials to be provided by the Company for details regarding COBRA continuation benefits.  All other benefits will end on the Termination Date. 

3.Severance.  While the Company is not obligated to provide you with any severance, in order to assist you in making this transition, it is willing to provide you with 

 

 

 

severance benefits described in Attachment A if you sign this letter agreement and return it to Aubrey Rhodes within twenty-one days from the date of this letter, and provided you do not thereafter revoke it.  The severance benefits will be paid as set forth in Attachment A.  If you do not accept this letter agreement within that time, it will become null and void.  By signing and returning this letter agreement, you will be entering into a binding agreement with the Company and will be agreeing to the terms and conditions set forth in the paragraphs below, including the release of claims set forth in paragraphs 4 and 5.        

4.Release.  You hereby fully, forever, irrevocably and unconditionally release and discharge the Company, its officers, directors, stockholders, corporate affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, agents and employees (each in their individual and corporate capacities) (hereinafter the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, charges, complaints, demands, causes of action, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs), of every kind and nature that you ever had or now have against the Released Parties, including, but not limited to, any arising out of your employment with and/or separation from the Company, including, but not limited to, all employment discrimination claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq., the Family and Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq., the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 701 et seq., the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, Cal.

You understand and agree that the claims released in paragraph 4 above include not only claims presently known to you, but also include all unknown or unanticipated claims, rights, demands, actions, obligations, liabilities, and causes of action of every kind and character that would otherwise come within the scope of the released claims as described in paragraph 4.

6.Confidential Information.

You affirm your obligation to keep all Company Information confidential and not to disclose it to any third party in the future.  You understand that the term “Company Information” includes, but is not limited to, the following:

(b)Other technical, scientific, marketing, business, product development or financial information, the use or disclosure of which might reasonably be determined to be contrary to the interests of the Company.

The Proprietary Information, Invention and Materials Agreement is incorporated herein by this reference, and you agree to continue to be bound by the terms of that Agreement.  

7.Return of Company Property.  You confirm that you have returned to the Company in good working order all keys, files, records (and copies thereof), equipment (including, but not limited to, computer hardware, software and printers, wireless handheld devices, cellular phones and pagers), access or credit cards, and any other property in your possession or control belonging to the Company and have left intact all electronic Company documents, including, but not limited to, those that you developed or helped to develop during your employment.  You further confirm that you have cancelled all accounts for your benefit, if

8.Transition Services.

(a)You agree, at the Company’s request, during the period from the Termination Date through August 3, 2017 (the “Transition Services Period”), to provide reasonable assistance to the Company to transition to Edward Conner, M.D., and other employees of the Company your responsibilities and projects, including with respect to the completion of certain manuscripts pertaining to the HIV program, and to resolve any technical issues associated with projects on which you worked during the period of your employment with the Company, the scope, timing and frequency of which shall mutually agreeable to you and Mr. Connor.  

(b)You agree, at the Company’s request, to cooperate, by providing truthful information, documents and testimony, in any Company investigation, litigation, arbitration or regulatory proceeding regarding events that occurred during your employment with the Company.  Your requested cooperation may include, for example, making yourself available to consult with the Company’s counsel, providing truthful information and documents and to appear to give truthful testimony.  The Company will reimburse you for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that you incur in providing any requested cooperation so long as you provide advance written notice to the Company of your request for reimbursement and in all cases you provide satisfactory documentation of the expenses.

(c)You understand and agree that the payments described in Annex A include compensation to you for any and all assistance and cooperation the Company may require pursuant to Sections 8(a) and (b) above and that you shall not be entitled to additional compensation during the Transition Services Period for assistance provided by you, if any.  

(d)You agree and acknowledge that (i) you will perform the services during the Transition Services Period as an independent contractor to the Company, (ii) nothing in this letter agreement shall in any way be construed to constitute you as an agent, employee or representative of the Company or its affiliates, (iii) you are not authorized to bind the Company or its affiliates to any liability or obligation or to represent that you have any such authority and, (iv) you are not expected to incur, and are not entitled to reimbursement, for any expenses.  

9.Business Expenses and Compensation.  You acknowledge that you have been reimbursed by the Company for all business expenses incurred in conjunction with the performance of your employment and that no other reimbursements are owed to you.  You further acknowledge that you have received payment in full for all services rendered in conjunction with your employment by the Company and that no other compensation, including wages, draws, payment for accrued but unused vacation time or severance payments or benefits pursuant to any plan, policy or practice, is owed to you, with the exception of the severance benefits described in paragraph 3 above.    

4

 

 

 

10.No Further Employment with the Company.  You understand and agree that by signing this letter agreement, you are giving up any right you may have to reemployment with the Company.  You further agree that you will not seek, accept, or otherwise pursue employment with the Company, and if you do seek such employment, the Company may decline to employ you at any time, and you will have no legal recourse if the Company so declines. 

11.Non-Disparagement.  You understand and agree that you shall not make any false, disparaging or derogatory statements to any media outlet, industry group, financial institution or current or former employee, consultant, client, customer of the Company or other person or entity regarding the Company or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives or about the Company’s business affairs and financial condition.

12.Reports to Government Entities.  Nothing in this letter agreement, including the Confidential Information and Proprietary Information, Invention and Materials Agreement paragraphs, restricts or prohibits you from initiating communications directly with, responding to any inquiries from, providing testimony before, providing confidential information to, reporting possible violations of law or regulation to, or from filing a claim or assisting with an investigation directly with a self-regulatory authority or a government agency or entity, including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency Inspector General (collectively, the “Regulators”), or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of state or federal law or regulation.  However, to the maximum extent permitted by law, you are waiving your right to receive any individual monetary relief from the Company or any others covered by the Release resulting from such claims or conduct, regardless of whether you or another party has filed them, and in the event you obtain such monetary relief the Company will be entitled to an offset for the payments made pursuant to this letter agreement.  This letter agreement does not limit your right to receive an award from any Regulator that provides awards for providing information relating to a potential violation of law.  You do not need the prior authorization of the Company to engage in conduct protected by this paragraph, and you do not need to notify the Company that you have engaged in such conduct.  Please take notice that federal law provides criminal and civil immunity to federal and state claims for trade secret misappropriation to individuals who disclose a trade secret to their attorney, a court, or a government official in certain, confidential circumstances that are set forth at 18 U.S.C. §§ 1833(b)(1) and 1833(b)(2), related to the reporting or investigation of a suspected violation of the law, or in connection with a lawsuit for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of the law.

14.Amendment.  This letter agreement shall be binding upon the parties and may not be modified in any manner, except by an instrument in writing of concurrent or subsequent date signed by duly authorized representatives of the parties hereto.  This letter agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective agents, assigns, heirs, executors, successors, and administrators.

21.Entire Agreement.  Except as provided in paragraph 6 (Proprietary Information, Invention and Materials Agreement), this letter agreement contains and constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to your severance benefits and the settlement of claims against the Company and cancels all previous oral and written negotiations, agreements and commitments in connection therewith, including under the Employment Documents.    

22.Application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.  This letter agreement is intended to comply with section 409A of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder (“Section 409A”), including the six-month delay for certain key employees if applicable, or an exemption.  Severance benefits under this letter agreement are intended to be exempt from Section 409A under the “short-term deferral” exception, to the maximum extent applicable, and then under the “separation pay” exception, to the maximum extent applicable.  All payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this letter agreement may only be made upon a “separation from service” under Section 409A.  For purposes of Section 409A, the right to a series of installment payments under this letter agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and each payment shall be treated as a separate payment.  With respect to payments that are subject to Section 409A, in no event may you, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of a payment, and if a payment that is subject to execution of this letter agreement could be made in more than one taxable year, based on timing of the execution of this letter agreement, payment will be made in the later taxable year.  Any reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this letter agreement will be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A.  You will be solely responsible for any tax imposed under Section 409A and in no event will the Company have any liability with respect to any tax, interest or other penalty imposed under Section 409A.

23.Arbitration.  The parties agree that any and all disputes arising out of the terms of this letter agreement and their interpretation, and any of the matters released, shall be subject to final and binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association under its Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures in Contra Costa County, California.  THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM RESOLVED IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY.  This paragraph will not prevent either party from seeking preliminary injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) under applicable law from any court having jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter of their dispute relating to their obligations under this letter agreement or under the Proprietary Information, Invention and Materials Agreement before arbitration or while arbitration is pending.

ATTACHMENT A

DESCRIPTION OF SEVERANCE BENEFITS

In exchange for your signing and not revoking this letter agreement, including, but not limited to, your waiver and release of claims described in paragraphs 4 and 5 and your performance of the transition services as described in paragraph 8, the Company hereby agrees to provide you with the following severance benefits:

	
a.
	
Severance Pay.  The Company will continue to pay your base salary as in effect on the Termination Date, less applicable federal, state and local tax deductions, for a period of twenty six (26) weeks following the Termination Date, in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices.  The first payment will be made on the first payroll date that is administratively practicable after the Effective Date (and within 30 days after the Termination Date) (such date hereinafter referred to as the “Initial Payment Date”) and will include unpaid installments for the period from the Termination Date to the first payment date.  In addition, on the Initial Payment Date, the Company will pay you an amount of $121,695, less applicable federal, state and local tax deductions.

	
b.
	
COBRA Continuation.  During the period beginning on the Termination Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which you first become covered by any other “group health plan” as described in Section 4980B(g)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or (ii) the last day of the seven (7) month period following the Termination Date (the “Coverage Period”), if you are eligible and elect to receive continued health coverage under the Company’s health plan under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) at a level of coverage at or below you level of coverage in effect on the Termination Date, and you pay the full monthly COBRA premium cost for such health coverage, the Company shall reimburse you monthly an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium paid by you, less the premium charge that is paid by the Company’s active employees for such coverage as in effect on the Termination Date (the “COBRA Reimbursement”).  The payments shall commence on the first payroll date that is administratively practicable after the Effective Date (and within 30 days after the Termination Date).  The first payment shall include any payments for the period from the Termination Date to the commencement date.  The Company shall reimburse you under this subsection only for the portion of the Coverage Period during which you continue coverage under the Company’s health plan.  You agree to promptly notify the Company of your coverage under an alternative health plan upon becoming covered by such alternative plan.  The COBRA health care continuation coverage period under section 4980B of the Code shall run concurrently with the Coverage Period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to restructure the foregoing COBRA premium reimbursement arrangement in any manner necessary or appropriate to avoid fines, penalties or negative tax consequences to the Company or you (including, without limitation, to avoid any penalty imposed for violation of the nondiscrimination requirements under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or the guidance issued thereunder), as determined by the Company 

9

 

 

		
in its sole and absolute discretion, including treating such reimbursements as taxable benefits subject to withholding.

151177627 v8 

 

 

(b)Square Footage of Premises.  For purposes of this Lease, the “rentable square feet” of the Premises and the Complex has been calculated by Landlord pursuant to the Building Owners and Managers Association International Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings, ANSI Z65.1 - 2010 (the “BOMA Standard”).  The rentable square footage of the Premises set forth in this Lease shall be deemed by Tenant to be the rentable square footage of the Premises for all purposes.  In that regard, Tenant has been given an opportunity to measure the rentable square footage of the Premises prior to execution of this Lease and Tenant hereby waives any rights it may have following execution of this Lease to measure the Premises or claim that the rentable square footage of the Premises is other than as set forth in this Lease.

4.Rent; Abatement of Rent.

(a)Rent.  Commencing on the Commencement Date, subject to Section 4(b) below, Tenant shall timely pay to Landlord as Rent, (i) Base Rent as set forth in the Basic Lease Information (subject to Section 4(b) below), and (ii) Additional Rent (as defined in Exhibit C) as set forth in Exhibit C hereto, without notice, demand, deduction or set-off (except as otherwise expressly provided herein), by good and sufficient check drawn on a national banking association at Landlord’s address provided for in this Lease or electronically via automatic debit or wire transfer to such account as Landlord designates in writing to Tenant, or as otherwise specified in writing by Landlord.  The obligations of Tenant to pay Base Rent and other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations.  Base Rent shall be payable monthly in advance.  The first (1st) monthly installment of Base Rent shall be payable contemporaneously with the execution of this Lease; thereafter, Base Rent shall be payable on the first (1st) day of each month beginning on the first (1st) day of the second (2nd) full calendar month of the Term, subject to Section 4(b) below.  The monthly Base Rent for any partial month at the beginning of the Term shall equal the product of 1/365 of the annual Base Rent in effect during the partial month and the number of days in the partial month, and shall be due on the Commencement Date.  Payments of Base Rent for any fractional calendar month at the end of the Term shall be similarly prorated.  Tenant shall pay Additional Rent at the same time and in the same manner as Base Rent.

(b)Abatement of Rent.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, and provided that no Event of Default exists, Landlord hereby agrees to abate Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s monthly Base Rent (the “Abated Rent”) by (i) 100% for the second (2nd) full calendar month through and including the tenth (10th) Lease Month, and (ii) by 50% for the eleventh (11th) Lease Month through and including the sixteenth (16th) Lease Month (the “Abatement Period”).  During the Abatement Period, Tenant shall remain responsible for the payment of all of its other monetary obligations under this Lease.  If during the Abatement Period an Event of Default (as defined in Section 17 below) occurs, and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease in accordance with Article 18 below, then the Abated Rent shall reinstate for the remaining Abatement Period as of the date Tenant cures such Event of Default.  If at any time during the Term, an Event of Default by Tenant occurs, and Landlord does elect to terminate this Lease in accordance with Article 18 below, then as a part of the recovery set forth in Article 18, Landlord shall be entitled to the recovery of that portion of the unamortized Abated Rent (which Abated Rent shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the initial Lease Term).

5.Delinquent Payment; Handling Charges.  All past due payments required of Tenant hereunder shall bear interest from the date that is three (3) Business Days after Landlord’s written notice thereof until paid at the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum lawful rate of interest (such lesser amount is referred to herein as the “Default Rate”); additionally, Landlord, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it, may charge Tenant a fee equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent payment (the “Late Charge”) to reimburse Landlord for its cost and inconvenience incurred as a consequence of Tenant’s delinquency.  In no event, however, shall the charges permitted under this Section 5 or elsewhere in this Lease, to the extent they are considered to be interest under applicable Law, 

2

151177627 v8 

 

 

exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall waive the accrual of the Default Rate and the payment the Late Charge once in any given twelve (12) month period.

6.Letter of Credit.  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, upon Tenant’s execution of this Lease, a Letter of Credit (as hereinafter defined) in the amount specified in the Basic Lease Information, as additional security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.  The Letter of Credit shall be in the form of a clean, irrevocable, non-documentary and unconditional letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) which is attached hereto as Exhibit L, issued by and drawable upon Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Issuing Bank”).  If upon any transfer of the Letter of Credit, any fees or charges shall be so imposed, then such fees or charges shall be payable solely by Tenant and the Letter of Credit shall so specify.  The Letter of Credit shall provide that it shall be deemed automatically renewed, without amendment, for consecutive periods of one year each thereafter during the Term (and in no event shall the Letter of Credit expire prior to the forty-fifth (45th) day following the Expiration Date) unless the Issuing Bank sends duplicate notices (the “Non-Renewal Notices”) to Landlord by certified mail, return receipt requested (one of which shall be addressed “Attention, Chief Legal Officer” and the other of which shall be addressed “Attention, Chief Financial Officer”), not less than forty-five (45) days next preceding the then expiration date of the Letter of Credit stating that the Issuing Bank has elected not to renew the Letter of Credit.  The Issuing Bank shall agree with all drawers, endorsers and bona fide holders that drafts drawn under and in compliance with the terms of the Letter of Credit will be duly honored upon presentation to the Issuing Bank at an office location in Los Angeles, California.  The Letter of Credit shall be subject in all respects to the International Standby Practices 1998, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590.

(a)Application of Security.  If (a) an Event of Default by Tenant occurs in the payment or performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, including the payment of Rent, or (b) Tenant fails to make any installment of Rent as and when due beyond an applicable notice and cure period, or (c) Landlord receives a Non-Renewal Notice, Landlord shall have the right by sight draft to draw, at its election, all or a portion of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit and thereafter hold, use, apply, or retain the whole or any part of such proceeds, as the case may be, (x) to the extent required for the payment of any Rent or any other sum as to which Tenant is in default including (i) any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s Event of Default, and/or (ii) any damages to which Landlord is entitled pursuant to this Lease, whether such damages accrue before or after summary proceedings or other reentry by Landlord, and/or (y) as a cash security deposit, unless and until, in the case of clause (c) above, Tenant delivers to Landlord a substitute Letter of Credit which meets the requirements of this Section 6.  If Landlord applies or retains any part of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, or cash security, Tenant, within five (5) Business Days upon written demand, shall deposit with Landlord the amount so applied or retained so that Landlord shall have the full amount thereof on hand at all times during the Term.  If Tenant shall comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, the Letter of Credit or cash security, as the case may be, shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date and after delivery of possession of the Premises to Landlord in the manner required by this Lease.

(b)Transfer.  Upon a sale or other transfer of the Building, or any financing of Landlord’s interest therein, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Letter of Credit or the cash security to its transferee or lender. With respect to the Letter of Credit, within ten (10) Business Days after notice of such transfer or financing, Tenant, at its sole cost, shall arrange for the transfer of the Letter of Credit to the new landlord or the lender, as designated in writing by Landlord in the foregoing notice or have the Letter of Credit reissued in the name of the new landlord or the lender.  Upon such transfer, Tenant shall look solely to the new landlord or lender for the return of the Letter of Credit or such cash security; provided that such new landlord has assumed Landlord’s obligations hereunder and the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the Letter of Credit or such cash security to a new landlord.  Tenant shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the Letter of Credit or such cash security and 

3

151177627 v8 

 

 

neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such action or attempted assignment, or encumbrance. 

(c)Reduction of Letter of Credit.  Effective as of the date the Reduction Conditions (as hereinafter defined) are satisfied, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be reduced to an amount equal to One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00).  For purposes of this Section 6(c), the “Reduction Conditions” shall mean (i) Tenant shall have received a Certificate of Occupancy for the Premises and provided Landlord with a copy thereof, and (ii) Tenant shall have raised Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000.00) as evidenced by a Security Exchange Commission regulatory filing reflecting an increase in equity of Tenant by Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000.00) as compared with Tenant’s audited financial statements for the calendar year ending 2016.  There shall be no reduction of the Letter of Credit as set forth herein if, at the time of such reduction, an Event of Default exists under this Lease.

7.Services; Utilities; Common Areas.

(a)Services.  Other than Landlord’s maintenance obligations expressly set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall not be obligated to provide any services to Tenant, provided that Landlord shall as part of Common Area Maintenance Costs provide electric lighting for all Common Area (including parking area) as Landlord reasonably determines to be standard, including replacement of Building standard lights, bulbs and tubes.

(b)Utility Use.  Tenant shall obtain all water, electricity, sewage, gas, telephone and other utilities for the Premises directly from the public utility company furnishing same.  Any meters or modifications thereof required in connection therewith shall be installed at Tenant’s sole cost.  Tenant shall pay all utility deposits and fees, and all monthly service charges for water, electricity, sewage, gas, telephone and any other utility services furnished to the Premises during the Term of this Lease.  Tenant shall not install any equipment which exceeds or overloads the capacity of the utility facilities serving the Premises.  Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service, or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof, when such failure or delay or diminution is occasioned, in whole or in part, by breakage, repairs, replacements, or improvements, by act or default of Tenant or other parties, by any Force Majeure Event (as defined in Section 26(c)), or by any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an interruption of utility service which (i) is the result of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) continues for more than three (3) consecutive Business Days (“Eligibility Period”), and (iii) renders the Premises unsuitable for Tenant’s normal business operations, and (iv) Tenant actually does not use the Premises or any portion thereof for three (3) consecutive Business Days, then Tenant’s Base Rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the rentable area of the Premises.

Tenant hereby reserves the right, in connection with either its Tenant Improvement electrical tie-in work (pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Tenant Work Letter) or due to applicable governmental code or agency required electrical systems testing, to reasonably shut down power to the Building for a limited time not to exceed four (4) hours per each shut-down, except as otherwise provided in the MOP (as defined).  Tenant shall prepare a method of procedure (“MOP”) setting forth the specific terms and conditions of such action, including the specific time of Building power shut-down and re‐start, for Landlord’s review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) no later than ten (10) business days prior to the anticipated date of shut-down.  As long as Tenant complies with the terms and conditions of the MOP as approved by Landlord, Tenant shall not be liable for damages to the Cell Tower Equipment in connection with Tenant’s shut-down as set forth herein.

4

151177627 v8 

 

 

(c)Common Areas.  The term “Common Area” is defined for all purposes of this Lease as that part of the Project and/or Complex intended for the common use of all tenants, including among other facilities (as such may be applicable to the Complex), parking areas, private streets and alleys, landscaping, curbs, loading areas, sidewalks, lighting facilities, drinking fountains, meeting rooms, public toilets, and the like, but excluding:  (i) space in other buildings (now or hereafter existing) in the Complex designated for rental for commercial purposes, as the same may exist from time to time; (ii) streets and alleys maintained by a public authority; (iii) areas within the Complex which may from time to time not be owned by Landlord (unless subject to a cross-access or common use agreement benefiting the area which includes the Premises); and (iv) areas leased to a single-purpose user where access is restricted.  Landlord reserves the right to change from time to time the dimensions and location of the Common Area, as well as the dimensions, identities, locations and types of any buildings, signs or other improvements in the Complex, so long as (y) access to the Premises and/or the parking area, or (z) the size or access to the Premises and/or the parking area is not materially adversely affected thereby.  For example, and without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall have no right to move the parking area from the Complex.  Tenant, and its employees and customers, and when duly authorized pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, its subtenants, licensees and concessionaires, shall have the non-exclusive right to use the parking spaces (designated in the Basic Lease Information) in the Common Area (excluding roof(s)) as constituted from time to time) and right to designate visitor parking spaces within the parking area of the Complex (and the number of visitor parking spaces shall be deducted from the overall two hundred seventy-eight (278) undesignated parking spaces provided to Tenant), such use to be in common with Landlord, other tenants in the Building (if any) and/or Complex, as applicable, and other persons permitted by the Landlord to use the same, and subject to rights of governmental authorities, easements, other restrictions of record, and such reasonable rules and regulations governing use as Landlord may from time to time prescribe subject to Section 13 hereof.  For example, and without limiting the generality of Landlord’s ability to establish rules and regulations governing all aspects of the Common Area in accordance with Section 13 hereof, Tenant agrees as follows:

(i)Landlord may from time to time designate specific areas within the Project or Complex, as applicable, in which automobiles owned by Tenant, its employees, subtenants, licensees, and concessionaires shall be parked; and Tenant agrees that if any automobile or other vehicle owned by Tenant or any of its employees, its subtenants, its licensees or its concessionaires, or their employees, shall at any time be parked in any part of the Project or Complex, as applicable, other than the specified areas designated for employee parking, Landlord may have such vehicle towed at the cost of the owner of same.

(ii)Tenant shall not solicit business within the Common Area nor take any action which would interfere with the rights of other persons to use the Common Area.

(iii)Landlord may temporarily close any part of the Common Area for such periods of time as may be reasonably necessary to make repairs or alterations or to prevent the public from obtaining prescriptive rights, so long as access to the Premises and/or the parking area is not materially adversely affected thereby.

8.Alterations; Repairs; Maintenance; Signs.

(a)Alterations.  Except for Tenant Improvements and Cosmetic Changes (as hereinafter defined), Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except for the installation of unattached, movable trade fixtures which may be installed without drilling, cutting or otherwise defacing the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be obligated to receive the written consent of Landlord for interior Alterations to the Premises (i) where the estimated cost of the proposed Alteration is Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) or less in any twelve (12) month period, (ii) if said Alterations do not affect the structural components of the Building, or adversely affect the Building’s Systems or which can be seen 

5

151177627 v8 

 

 

from outside the Premises, and (iii) if said Alteration shall not require a building permit or any federal, state, county or local approvals (the “Cosmetic Changes”).  Tenant shall furnish complete plans and specifications to Landlord for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, at the time it requests Landlord’s consent to any Alterations, if the desired Alterations: (i) will affect the Building’s Systems or Building’s Structure; or (ii) will require the filing of plans and specifications with any governmental or quasi-governmental agency or authority; or (iii) will require a building permit or other federal, state, county or local approvals with respect thereto.  Landlord shall either approve or disapprove Tenant’s proposed Alteration within five (5) business days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s request and Tenant’s plans and specifications with respect to such proposed Alteration.  Subsequent to obtaining Landlord’s consent and prior to commencement of the Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord any building permit required by applicable Law and a copy of the executed construction contract(s).  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within ten (10) days after the rendition of a bill for all of Landlord’s actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with any Alterations (excluding Cosmetic Changes), including all management, engineering, outside consulting, and construction fees incurred by or on behalf of Landlord for the review and approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications and for the monitoring of construction of the Alterations, together with a supervision coordination fee to Landlord in an amount equal to the product of (i) three percent (3%) and (ii) the costs of the Alterations.  If Landlord consents to the making of any Alteration, such Alteration shall be made by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense by contractors and subcontractors approved in writing by Landlord in accordance with Section 8(b)(iii), which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Without Landlord’s prior written consent, Tenant shall not use any portion of the Common Areas either within or outside the Project or Complex, as applicable, in connection with the making of any Alterations.  If the Alterations which Tenant causes to be constructed result in Landlord being required to make any alterations and/or improvements to other portions of the Project or Complex, as applicable, in order to comply with any applicable Laws (provided that such alterations and/or improvements are necessitated solely due to Tenant’s Alterations, and in no event are caused by any violations or non-compliance with applicable Laws which existed on the Delivery Date), then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within thirty (30) days upon written demand for all costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Landlord in making such alterations and/or improvements in the Project or Complex, as applicable.  Any Alterations made by Tenant shall become the property of Landlord upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease and shall remain on and be surrendered with the Premises upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, except Tenant shall, upon written demand by Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, forthwith and with all due diligence (but in any event not later than ten (10) days after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease) remove all or any portion of any Alterations made by Tenant which are designated by Landlord in writing to be removed (the “Removal Notice”) at the time of Landlord’s consent to such Alterations (including without limitation stairs, bank vaults, and cabling, movable laboratory casework and related appliances, built-in cabinet work and paneling, sinks and related plumbing fixtures, laboratory benches, exterior venting fume hoods and walk-in freezers and refrigerators, if applicable) and repair any damages to the Premises caused by such removal in a good and workmanlike manner to their original condition, reasonable wear and tear and Casualty not required to be repaired by Tenant excepted. All construction work done by Tenant within the Premises shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner with new materials of first-class quality, lien-free and in compliance with all applicable Laws, and in such manner as to cause a minimum of interference with other construction in progress and with the transaction of business in the Project or Complex, as applicable.  TENANT AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD LANDLORD HARMLESS AGAINST ANY LOSS, LIABILITY OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM SUCH WORK EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH LOSS, LIABILITY OR DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF LANDLORD AND FURTHER SUBJECT TO THE MUTUAL WAIVERS OF SUBROGATION HEREINAFTER SET FORTH IN SECTION 11(d), AND TENANT SHALL, IF REQUESTED BY LANDLORD, FURNISH A BOND OR OTHER SECURITY REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO LANDLORD AGAINST ANY SUCH LOSS, 

6

151177627 v8 

 

 

LIABILITY OR DAMAGE; provided, however, that no bond shall be required in connection with any Cosmetic Changes.  The foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.  Landlord’s consent to or approval of any Alterations, additions or improvements (or the plans therefor) shall not constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord, nor Landlord’s acceptance, that the same comply with sound architectural and/or engineering practices or with all applicable Laws, and Tenant shall be solely responsible for ensuring all such compliance.

(b)Repairs; Maintenance.

(i)By Landlord.  Landlord shall, subject to reimbursement under Exhibit C (to the extent such costs are reimbursable therein), keep the Building’s Structure in good repair and working condition.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, any defects in design or construction of the Base, Shell and Core shall be corrected by Landlord at Landlord’s sole cost.  Landlord, however, shall not be required to make any repairs occasioned by the act or negligence of Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, subtenants, licensees and concessionaires (including, but not limited to, roof leaks resulting from Tenant’s installation of air conditioning equipment or any other new roof penetration or placement); and the provisions of the previous sentence are expressly recognized to be subject to Sections 14 and 15 of this Lease.  In the event that the Premises should become in need of repairs required to be made by Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall give immediate written notice thereof to Landlord, and Landlord shall have a reasonable time after receipt by Landlord of such written notice in which to make such repairs.  Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any interruption of Tenant’s business or inconvenience caused due to any work performed in the Premises or in the Complex pursuant to Landlord’s rights and obligations under the Lease, provided, however, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not disturb the normal conduct of Tenant’s business or Tenant’s access to the Premises and/or parking areas while performing such repairs and maintenance.  In addition, Landlord shall maintain the Common Areas of the Project or Complex, as applicable, in a manner consistent with first class office and biotech buildings in Brisbane, California, subject to reimbursement as set forth in Exhibit C (to the extent such costs are reimbursable therein).  TENANT HEREBY WAIVES AND RELEASES ITS RIGHT TO MAKE REPAIRS AT LANDLORD’S EXPENSE UNDER SECTIONS 1941 AND 1942 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE OR UNDER ANY SIMILAR LAW, STATUTE OR ORDINANCE NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT.

(ii)By Tenant.  Tenant shall keep the Premises (other than those portions required to be maintained by Landlord under Section 8(b)(i) above), in good, clean and habitable condition, and shall at its sole cost and expense keep the same free of dirt, rubbish, ice or snow, insects, rodents, vermin and other pests and make all needed repairs and replacements, including replacement of cracked or broken glass, except for repairs and replacements required to be made by Landlord, and any damage caused by ordinary wear and tear or Casualty.  Without limiting the coverage of the previous sentence, it is understood that Tenant’s responsibilities therein include the repair and replacement in accordance with all applicable Laws of the Building’s Systems, including the lighting, heating, air conditioning, life-safety, plumbing and other electrical, mechanical and electromotive installation, equipment and fixtures and also include all utility repairs in ducts, conduits, pipes and wiring, and any sewer stoppage located in, under and above the Premises. All contractors and subcontractors may be subject to Landlord’s written approval in accordance with Section 8(b)(iii).  If any repairs required to be made by Tenant hereunder are not commenced within thirty (30) days (such time period not being subject to the notice and cure provisions of Section 17(f)) after written notice delivered to Tenant by Landlord (which shall be given at its reasonable discretion) or are not diligently executed to completion with Tenant using commercially reasonable efforts given the circumstances, Landlord may at its option make such repairs without liability to Tenant for any loss or damage which may result to its stock or business by reason of such repairs, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors, provided that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use of, or access to, the Premises.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord within ten (10) days upon written demand as Rent hereunder, 

7

151177627 v8 

 

 

the cost of such repairs plus interest at the Default Rate, such interest to accrue continuously from the date of payment by Landlord until repayment by Tenant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to make such repairs without notice to Tenant in the event of an emergency, or if such repairs relate to the exterior of the Premises.  At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises in as good a condition as existed on the date the Tenant Improvements are substantially completed, excepting reasonable wear and tear and casualties not required to be repaired by Tenant.  If Tenant elects to store any personal property of Tenant, including goods, wares, merchandise, inventory, trade fixtures and other personal property of Tenant, same shall be stored at the sole risk of Tenant.  Unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors, Landlord and its agents shall not be liable for any loss or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak from any part of the Complex or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works therein or from the roof, street or subsurface or from any other places resulting from dampness or any other cause whatsoever, or from the act or negligence of any other tenant or any officer, agent, employee, contractor or guest of any such tenant.  It is generally understood that mold spores are present essentially everywhere and that mold can grow in most any moist location.  Emphasis is properly placed on prevention of moisture and on good housekeeping and ventilation practices.  Tenant acknowledges the necessity of housekeeping, ventilation, and moisture control (especially in kitchens, janitor’s closets, bathrooms, break rooms and around outside walls) for mold prevention.  In signing this Lease, Tenant has first inspected the Premises and certifies that it has not observed mold, mildew or moisture within the Premises.  Tenant agrees to immediately notify Landlord if it observes mold/mildew and/or moisture conditions (from any source, including leaks), and allow Landlord to evaluate and make recommendations and/or take appropriate corrective action.  TENANT RELIEVES LANDLORD FROM ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY BODILY INJURY OR DAMAGES TO PROPERTY CAUSED BY OR ASSOCIATED WITH MOISTURE OR THE GROWTH OF OR OCCURRENCE OF MOLD OR MILDEW ON THE PREMISES, UNLESS SAME IS IN EXISTENCE ON THE DELIVERY DATE OR IS CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF LANDLORD, ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS.  In addition, execution of this Lease constitutes acknowledgement by Tenant that control of moisture and mold prevention are integral to its Lease obligations.

Notwithstanding Tenant’s repair and maintenance obligations pursuant to this Section 8(b)(ii), if any item of Tenant’s repair and maintenance obligations set forth herein involves a capital repair, replacement, improvement and/or equipment under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“Tenant Repair Capital Item”), Tenant shall provide written notice thereof to Landlord.  Landlord shall, pursuant to the receipt of such notice from Tenant, make such Tenant Repair Capital Item in a manner such that the Tenant Repair Capital Item to be completed by Landlord shall be similar in size, scope and specifications as the item so repaired by Landlord.  Landlord and Tenant shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to discuss and come to a mutually acceptable agreement with respect to the size, scope and specifications of the Tenant Repair Capital Item; provided, however, that in no event shall the size, scope and specifications of such Tenant Repair Capital Item exceed the original size, scope and specifications of the item subject to the repair.  Following completion of the Tenant Repair Capital Item, Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of (i) the total cost of such Tenant Repair Capital Item (“Tenant Repair Capital Item Cost”), (ii) the estimated useful life of such Tenant Repair Capital Item per generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“Useful Life”), (iii) the amortization of such Tenant Repair Capital Item Cost over such Useful Life at an interest rate equal to the “prime rate” as announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A., plus one percent (1%) per annum, and (iv) the monthly amount due and payable by Tenant to reimburse Landlord for that portion of the amortized Tenant Repair Capital Item Cost applicable to the remainder of the Lease Term, which monthly amount shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord concurrently with the payment by Tenant to Landlord of the monthly Base Rent.

151177627 v8 

 

 

(iii)Performance of Work.  All work described in this Section 8 which affects the Building’s Structure and/or the Building’s Systems shall be performed only by contractors and subcontractors approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (which approval or disapproval shall be provided by Landlord within three (3) business days of Landlord’s receipt of the identity of the applicable contractor and subcontractor).  Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors approved by Landlord in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements shall be deemed to be approved in connection with Tenant’s work in this Section 8.  Tenant shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to procure and maintain insurance coverage naming Landlord and Landlord’s property management company as additional insureds against such risks, in such amounts, on such forms, and with such companies as Landlord may reasonably require as set forth on Exhibit I attached hereto.  Tenant shall provide Landlord with the identities, mailing addresses and telephone numbers of all persons performing work or supplying materials prior to beginning such construction and Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to applicable Laws.  All such work shall be performed in accordance with all applicable Laws and in a good and workmanlike manner so as not to damage the Building (including the Premises, the Building’s Structure and the Building’s Systems).  All such work which may affect the Building’s Structure or the Building’s Systems, at Landlord’s election, must be performed by Landlord’s usual contractor for such work or a contractor approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  All work affecting the roof of the Building must be performed by Landlord’s roofing contractor or a contractor approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and no such work will be permitted if it would void or reduce the warranty on the roof.  

(c)Mechanic’s Liens.  All work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by or at the request of a Tenant Party shall be deemed authorized and ordered by Tenant only, and Tenant shall not permit any mechanic’s liens to be filed against the Premises or the Project in connection therewith.  Upon completion of any such work, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord final lien waivers from all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen who performed such work.  If such a lien is filed, then Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after Landlord has delivered notice of the filing thereof to Tenant (or such earlier time period as may be necessary to prevent the forfeiture of the Premises, Project or any interest of Landlord therein or the imposition of a civil or criminal fine with respect thereto), either: (1) pay the amount of the lien and cause the lien to be released of record; or (2) diligently contest such lien and deliver to Landlord a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.  If Tenant fails to timely take either such action, then Landlord may pay the lien claim, and any amounts so paid, including expenses and interest, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord has invoiced Tenant therefor.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that their relationship is and shall be solely that of “landlord-tenant” (thereby excluding a relationship of “owner-contractor,” “owner-agent” or other similar relationships).  Accordingly, all materialmen, contractors, artisans, mechanics, laborers and any other persons now or hereafter contracting with Tenant, any contractor or subcontractor of Tenant or any other Tenant Party for the furnishing of any labor, services, materials, supplies or equipment with respect to any portion of the Premises, at any time from the date hereof until the end of the Term, are hereby charged with notice that they look exclusively to Tenant to obtain payment for same.  Nothing herein shall be deemed a consent by Landlord to any liens being placed upon the Premises, Project or Landlord’s interest therein due to any work performed by or for Tenant or deemed to give any contractor or subcontractor or materialman any right or interest in any funds held by Landlord to reimburse Tenant for any portion of the cost of such work.  TENANT SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS LANDLORD, ITS PROPERTY MANAGER, ANY SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATE OF THE FOREGOING, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHARE-HOLDERS, PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES, MANAGERS, CONTRACTORS, ATTORNEYS AND AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “INDEMNITEES”) FROM AND AGAINST ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION, SUITS, JUDGMENTS, DAMAGES AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING 

9

151177627 v8 

 

 

REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) IN ANY WAY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE FAILURE BY ANY TENANT PARTY TO PAY FOR ANY WORK PERFORMED, MATERIALS FURNISHED, OR OBLIGATIONS INCURRED BY OR AT THE REQUEST OF A TENANT PARTY.  The foregoing indemnity shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease.

(d)Signs.

(i)General Signs.  Tenant shall have the right to place any signs in, on or around the Building so long as (x) such sign complies with applicable Law, and Tenant shall have received any applicable governmental permit, and (y) Tenant shall have provided Landlord with notice thereof and a copy of any applicable governmental permit(s).  Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall immediately remove any sign or other materials which Tenant has placed or permitted to be placed upon the exterior or interior surface of any door or window inside the Premises, or the exterior of the Building, if required in connection with any repairs to the Building.  If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may without liability unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors, remove the same at Tenant’s expense.  Tenant shall comply with such regulations as may from time to time be promulgated by Landlord and provided to Tenant in writing governing signs, advertising material or lettering of all tenants in the Project or Complex, as applicable.  Tenant shall be responsible for the repair, painting or replacement of the Building fascia surface or other portion of the Building where signs are attached and/or any damage to the Premises to remove signs placed by Tenant, upon vacation of the Premises, or the removal or alteration of its sign for any reason.  If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may have the sign removed and the reasonable cost of removal shall be payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days of invoice.

(ii)Building Top Sign(s).  Subject to the terms of this Section 8 and applicable Laws, Landlord hereby grants Tenant the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to install up to two (2) Building top signs at location(s) elected by Tenant (which may include both Tenant’s name, which shall be restricted to only Sangamo Therapeutics, Inc. and corporate logo) (“Building Top Sign(s)”).  Tenant’s Building Top Sign(s) shall be subject to all applicable Laws and Tenant’s receipt of any applicable governmental permit(s).  The content, size, design, graphics, materials, colors and other specifications of the Building Top Sign(s) (including without limitation, the exact location of any and all of the Building Top Sign(s)) shall be consistent with the exterior design, materials and appearance of the Building and the signage program of the Building, if any.  The contractors and/or subcontractors utilized by Tenant in connection with the Building Top Sign(s) may be subject to Landlord’s written approval in accordance with Section 8(b)(iii).  Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the design, construction, installation, repair, operation, maintenance, compliance with laws, utilities (including the costs of metering such utilities usage and the cost of the meter) and removal of the Building Top Sign(s).  Tenant shall also be responsible for the cost of all utilities (if any) utilized in connection with the Building Top Sign(s).  Tenant’s signage rights set forth in this Section 8(d)(ii) shall be personal to the Tenant and may not be assigned to any assignee or any sublessee or any other person or entity (except in connection with a Permitted Transferee).  Should the name of Tenant be changed to another name (the “New Name”), Tenant shall be entitled to modify, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, Tenant’s name on the Building Top Sign(s) to reflect Tenant’s New Name, so long as (a) the New Name is not an “Objectionable Name”, (b) Landlord shall have granted its consent to such New Name (which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion), (c) Tenant’s New Name shall be subject to the then existing signage rights of any tenant or occupant within the Complex, (d) Tenant’s New Name shall not cause Landlord to be in violation of another lease or agreement which Landlord is a party at the Complex, and (e) Tenant’s New Name shall not cause Landlord to be in violation of an exclusivity granted to another tenant at the Complex.  The term “Objectionable Name” shall mean any name which relates to an entity which is of a character or reputation, or is associated with a political orientation or faction, which is inconsistent with the quality of the Complex, or which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of buildings comparable to and in the vicinity of the Building.  In addition, Tenant’s right to maintain any of the Building Top Sign(s) shall 

10

151177627 v8 

 

 

terminate at any time during the Lease Term during the continuance of an Event of Default under this Lease.  Upon the expiration of the Lease Term or the earlier termination of Tenant’s signage rights under this Section 8(d)(ii), Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove the Building Top Sign(s) and repair any and all damage to the Building caused by such removal.

9.Use; Compliance with Laws.  Tenant shall use the Premises only for the Permitted Use (as set forth in the Basic Lease Information) and shall comply with all applicable Laws relating to the use, condition, access to, and occupancy of the Premises and will not commit waste, overload the Building’s Structure or the Building’s Systems or subject the Premises to any use that would damage the Premises (ordinary wear and tear excepted).  Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain and keep in effect during the Term, all permits, licenses, and other authorizations necessary to permit Tenant to use and occupy the Premises for the Permitted Use in accordance with applicable Laws.  Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, as between Landlord and Tenant:  (i) Tenant shall bear the risk of complying with Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, any state laws governing handicapped access or architectural barriers, and all rules, regulations, and guidelines promulgated under such laws, as amended from time to time (the “Disabilities Acts”) with respect to the Premises (but not the Common Areas); and (ii) Landlord shall bear the risk of complying with the Disabilities Acts in the Common Areas (subject to Exhibit C), other than compliance that is necessitated by Tenant’s use of the Premises or as a result of the Tenant Improvements as defined on Exhibit D and any Alterations made by Tenant (which risk and responsibility shall be borne by Tenant).  Landlord represents and warrants that as of the Delivery Date, the Common Areas shall be in compliance with the Disabilities Acts.  The Premises shall not be used for any purpose which releases outside the Premises strong, unusual, or offensive odors, fumes, dust or vapors which is objectionable to a typical person; which emits outside the Premises noise or sounds that are objectionable to a typical person due to intermittence, beat, frequency, shrillness, or loudness; which is associated with indecent or pornographic matters; or which involves political or moral issues (such as abortion issues).  Tenant shall conduct its business and control each other Tenant Party so as not to create any nuisance or unreasonably interfere with other tenants of the Complex or Landlord in its management of the Building.  Tenant shall store all trash and garbage within the Premises or in a trash dumpster or similar container approved by Landlord as to type, location and screening; and Tenant shall arrange for the regular pick-up of such trash and garbage at Tenant’s expense (unless Landlord finds it necessary to furnish such a service, in which event Tenant shall be charged an equitable portion of the total of the charges to all tenants using the service).  Tenant shall not operate an incinerator or burn trash or garbage within the Project or Complex, as applicable.  Tenant shall not knowingly conduct or permit to be conducted in the Premises any activity, or place any equipment in or about the Premises or the Building, which will invalidate the insurance coverage in effect or increase the rate of fire insurance or other insurance on the Premises or the Building; provided that the Permitted Use will not be deemed to invalidate such insurance coverage or increase the rate of such insurance on the Premises or the Building.  If any invalidation of coverage or increase in the rate of fire insurance or other insurance occurs or is threatened by any insurance company due to activity conducted from the Premises in violation of this Lease, or any act or omission by Tenant, or its agents, employees, representatives, or contractors in violation of this Lease, such statement or threat shall be conclusive evidence that the increase in such rate is due to such act of Tenant or the contents or equipment in or about the Premises, and, as a result thereof, Tenant shall be liable for such increase and shall be considered Additional Rent payable with the next monthly installment of Base Rent due under this Lease.  In no event shall Tenant introduce or permit to be kept on the Premises or brought into the Building any dangerous, noxious, radioactive or explosive substance in violation of Section 25 herein.

10.Assignment and Subletting.

(a)Transfers.  Except for Permitted Transfers, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed:  (1) assign, transfer, or encumber this Lease or any estate or interest herein, whether directly or by operation of law; (2) permit any other entity to become Tenant hereunder by merger, consolidation, or other 

11

151177627 v8 

 

 

reorganization; (3) if Tenant is an entity other than a corporation whose stock is publicly traded, permit the transfer of an ownership interest in Tenant so as to result in a change in the current control of Tenant; (4) sublet any portion of the Premises; (5) grant any license, concession, or other right of occupancy of any portion of the Premises; or (6) permit the use of the Premises by any parties other than Tenant (any of the events listed in Section 10(a)(1) through Section 10(a)(6) being a “Transfer”).

(b)Consent Standards.  If a proposed transferee does not meet the following conditions, Landlord shall not be deemed to have been unreasonable in withholding its consent to a Transfer (provided that the following list shall not be deemed the exclusive factors for review):  (1) intentionally omitted; (2) has a good reputation in the business community; (3) will use the Premises for the Permitted Use and will not use the Premises in any manner that would conflict with any exclusive use agreement or other similar agreement entered into by Landlord with any other tenant of the Project or Complex, as applicable; (4) will not use the Premises, Project or Complex in a manner that would materially increase the pedestrian or vehicular traffic to the Premises, Project or Complex; (5) is not another occupant of the Building or Complex, as applicable, and there is a comparable space available in the Complex at the time of Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent; and (6) is not a person or entity with whom Landlord is then, or has been within the three-month period prior to the time Tenant seeks to enter into such assignment or subletting, negotiating to lease space in the Building or Complex, as applicable, or any Affiliate of any such person or entity, and there is a comparable space available in the Complex at the time of Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent.

(c)Request for Consent.  If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to a Transfer, then, at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written description of all terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, copies of the proposed pertinent documentation, and the following information about the proposed transferee: name and address; reasonably satisfactory information about its business and business history; its proposed use of the Premises; banking, financial, and other credit information; and general references sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the proposed transferee’s creditworthiness and character (collectively, the “Transfer Notice”).  Concurrently with the Transfer Notice, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee of $2,000 to defray Landlord’s expenses in reviewing such request, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within ten (10) days upon request for its reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with considering any request for consent to a Transfer, not to exceed $2,500 per request.

(d)Conditions to Consent.  If Landlord consents to a proposed Transfer, then the proposed transferee shall deliver to Landlord a written agreement whereby it expressly assumes Tenant’s obligations hereunder.  No Transfer shall release Tenant from its obligations under this Lease, but rather Tenant and its transferee shall be jointly and severally liable therefor.  Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent Transfers.  Tenant shall pay for the cost of any demising walls or other improvements necessitated by a proposed subletting or assignment.

(e)Attornment by Subtenants.  Each sublease by Tenant hereunder shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate, and each subtenant by entering into a sublease is deemed to have agreed that in the event of termination, re-entry or dispossession by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, either terminate the sublease or take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublandlord, under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord’s option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not be: (1) liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease; (2) subject to any counterclaim, offset or defense that such subtenant might have against Tenant; (3) bound by any previous modification of such sublease or by any rent or additional rent or advance rent which such subtenant might have paid for more than the current month to Tenant, and all such rent shall remain due and owing, notwithstanding such advance payment; (4) bound by any security or advance rental deposit made by such subtenant which is not delivered or paid over to Landlord and with respect to which such subtenant shall look solely to Tenant for refund or reimbursement; or (5) obligated to perform any work in 

12

151177627 v8 

 

 

the subleased space or to prepare it for occupancy, and in connection with such attornment, the subtenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord any instruments Landlord may reasonably request to evidence and confirm such attornment.  Each subtenant or licensee of Tenant shall be deemed, automatically upon and as a condition of its occupying or using the Premises or any part thereof, to have agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 10(e).  The provisions of this Section 10(e) shall be self-operative, and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to this provision.  If an Event of Default occurs while the Premises or any part thereof are subject to a sublease, then Landlord, in addition to its other remedies, may collect directly from such subtenant all rents becoming due to Tenant and apply such rents against Rent.  Tenant authorizes its subtenant to make payments of rent directly to Landlord upon receipt of notice from Landlord to do so following the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder.

(f)Permitted Transfers.  Notwithstanding to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant may Transfer all or part of its interest in this Lease or all or part of the Premises (a “Permitted Transfer”) to the following types of entities (a “Permitted Transferee”) without the written consent of Landlord:

(1)an Affiliate of Tenant;

(2)any persons  acquiring a controlling interest in Tenant in connection with a bona fide private equity placement financing or an initial public offering of Tenant’s stocks on a nationally recognized stock exchange;

(3)any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity in which or with which Tenant, or its corporate successors or assigns, is merged or consolidated, in accordance with applicable statutory provisions governing merger and consolidation of business entities, so long as (A) Tenant’s obligations hereunder are assumed by the entity surviving such merger or created by such consolidation; and (B) the Tangible Net Worth of the surviving or created entity is not less than the Tangible Net Worth of Tenant as of the date of execution of this Lease; or

(4)any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity acquiring all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets if such entity’s Tangible Net Worth after such acquisition is not less than the Tangible Net Worth of Tenant as of the date of execution of this Lease.

Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any such Permitted Transfer.  Tenant shall remain liable for the performance of all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, or if Tenant no longer exists because of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition, the surviving or acquiring entity shall expressly assume in writing the obligations of Tenant hereunder.  Additionally, the Permitted Transferee shall comply with all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including the Permitted Use.  No later than five (5) Business Days after the effective date of any Permitted Transfer, Tenant agrees to furnish Landlord with (A) copies of the instrument effecting any of the foregoing Transfers, which copies of such instruments may be redacted by Tenant, (B) documentation establishing Tenant’s satisfaction of the requirements set forth above applicable to any such Transfer, and (C) evidence of insurance as required under this Lease with respect to the Permitted Transferee, provided that Landlord executes a non-disclosure agreement provided by Tenant.  The occurrence of a Permitted Transfer shall not waive Landlord’s rights as to any subsequent Transfers.  “Tangible Net Worth” means the excess of total assets over total liabilities, in each case as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“GAAP”).  Any subsequent Transfer by a Permitted Transferee shall be subject to the terms of this Section 10.

13

151177627 v8 

 

 

(g)Additional Compensation.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, immediately upon receipt thereof, fifty percent (50%) of the excess of all compensation received by Tenant for a Transfer over the Rent allocable to the portion of the Premises covered thereby, after deducting the following costs and expenses for such Transfer (which costs will be amortized over the term of the sublease or assignment pursuant to sound accounting principles and deducted monthly from such excess):  (1) brokerage commissions and reasonable attorneys’ fees; (2) advertising for subtenants or assignees; (3) the actual costs paid in making any improvements or substitutions in the Premises required by any sublease or assignment; and (4) the costs of any inducements or concessions or rental reductions or abatement given to the subtenant or assignee. 

(h)Landlord’s Option.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 10, except in connection with Permitted Transfers, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Transfer Notice with respect to (i) a proposed assignment of this Lease by Tenant, or (ii) a proposed sublease of the entire Premises (the “Subject Space”) to (x) recapture the Subject Space, or (y) take an assignment or sublease of the Subject Space from Tenant.  Such recapture, or sublease or assignment notice shall cancel and terminate this Lease, or create a sublease or assignment, as the case may be, with respect to the Subject Space as of the date stated in the Transfer Notice as the effective date of the proposed Transfer until the last day of the term of the Transfer as set forth in the Transfer Notice.  If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner to recapture, sublease or take an assignment of the Subject Space under this Section 10(h), then, provided Landlord has consented to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be entitled to proceed to transfer the Subject Space to the proposed Transferee, subject to provisions of this Section 10.  

11.Insurance; Waivers; Subrogation; Indemnity.

(a)Indemnity Agreement.  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND SUBJECT TO LANDLORD’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS BELOW AND FURTHER SUBJECT TO THE MUTUAL WAIVERS OF SUBROGATION SET FORTH IN SECTION 11(d), TENANT WILL DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD LANDLORD HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL CLAIMS (AS DEFINED HEREIN) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING (DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY) TO (I) THE CONDUCT OR MANAGEMENT OF THE PREMISES OR OF ANY BUSINESS THEREIN, OR ANY WORK OR THING WHATSOEVER DONE, OR ANY CONDITION CREATING IN OR ABOUT THE PREMISES DURING THE TERM; (II) ANY ACT, OMISSION, BREACH OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS LEASE, OR NEGLIGENCE OF TENANT OR ANY OF TENANT’S LICENSEES OR THE PARTNERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, INVITEES OR CONTRACTORS OF TENANT OR ANY OF TENANT’S LICENSEES; AND (III) ANY ACCIDENT, INJURY OR DAMAGE WHATSOEVER OCCURRING IN OR AT THE PREMISES.  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND SUBJECT TO THE MUTUAL WAIVERS OF SUBROGATION SET FORTH IN SECTION 11(d), LANDLORD AGREES TO INDEMNIFY TENANT AND TENANT PARTY FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM INJURY OR DEATH OF ANY PERSON OR DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF ANY PHYSICAL PROPERTY OCCURRING WITHIN OR ABOUT THE PREMISES, THE BUILDING, THE PROJECT AND/OR THE COMPLEX, TO THE EXTENT ARISING OUT OF LANDLORD’S OR INDEMNITEES’ GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR BREACH OF THIS LEASE.

(b)Tenant’s Insurance.  Effective as of the Delivery Date and continuing throughout the Term, Tenant shall maintain insurance of the types and in the amounts described below.  Insurance shall be obtained from insurance carriers rated not less than A-VIII by A.M. Best Company and licensed to business in the State.  Tenant insurance policy deductibles shall be the responsibility of the Tenant and shall be less than $25,000 unless approved by Landlord.  Tenant’s insurance policies shall be primary and not 

14

151177627 v8 

 

 

require any contribution by any insurance maintained by Landlord, and Tenant shall require the insurer with respect to each policy required in this Section 11(b) to waive subrogation rights against Landlord and the other Landlord Parties.  If Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing insurance requirements or to deliver to Landlord the certificates or evidence of coverage required herein, Landlord, in addition to any other remedy available pursuant to this Lease or otherwise, may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain such insurance and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost thereof, plus an administrative fee of three percent (3%) of the cost thereof.  It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing minimum limits of insurance coverage shall not limit the liability of Tenant for its acts or omissions as provided in this Lease.  Tenant may satisfy requirements of this Section 11(b) with policies that cover both the Premises and other properties, on condition that any general aggregate limits under these “blanket” policies apply separately to the Premises, the requirements in this Section 11(b) are otherwise satisfied, and these policies do not otherwise impair the rights of Landlord or violate requirements of this Lease. Certificates for all insurance carried pursuant to this Section 11(b) shall be delivered to Landlord before the Delivery Date and thereafter upon request and (even if not requested) upon the renewal or replacement of any required policy. Tenant shall ensure that Landlord is notified no less than ten (10) days before cancellation of any required policy, and shall cause its certificates of insurance to indicate this.  Failure of Landlord to demand such certificate or other evidence of full compliance with these insurance requirements or failure of Landlord to identify a deficiency from evidence that is provided shall not be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s obligation to maintain such insurance.  These requirements and limits are subject to review and modification by Landlord in its commercially reasonable determination (i) in recognition of changes in the occupancy, exposure, or insurance marketplace, and/or (ii) as a result of Tenant’s use of Hazardous Materials or other items in the Premises as set forth in the list of Hazardous Materials in the Environmental Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit J to be provided by Tenant to Landlord no later than the Commencement Date.  The term “Landlord Parties” means Landlord; Landlord’s property manager with respect to the Premises; Landlord’s Mortgagee; other entities or individuals Landlord may designate from time to time to be included as additional insureds (e.g., by requiring that they be listed as additional insureds on certificates of insurance); the successors and assigns, and direct and indirect affiliates, of each of the foregoing; and, with respect to each of the foregoing, its shareholders, trustees, beneficiaries, managers, officers, directors, employees, and agents. 

(i)Commercial General Liability Insurance written on an occurrence basis, using a form that is at least as broad as ISO commercial general liability form (CG 00 01) and shall cover liability arising from premises, operations, independent contractors, products-completed operations, personal injury and advertising injury, and liability assumed under an insured contract naming the Landlord and the other Landlord Parties as additional insureds on a primary and non-contributory basis with limits of not less than $1,000,000 each occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate per location shall be maintained.  Evidence of commercial general liability insurance granting no less than thirty (30) days’ notice of cancellation for reasons other than non-payment shall be provided by the ISO form (CG 20 11, CG 20 26 11 85, or a substitute providing equivalent coverage and under the commercial umbrella policy) prior to Lease inception and no less than fifteen (15) days prior to each insurance policy renewal during the term of the Lease.

(ii)Commercial Auto Liability Insurance, if the Tenant owns any automobiles, written on a coverage form that is at least as broad as the ISO business auto coverage form (CA 00 01) to cover owned, non-owned, hired, and borrowed autos with not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit shall be obtained.  If the Tenant does not own any vehicles, non-owned and hired auto liability insurance with a not less than $1,000,000 limit shall be maintained.  Tenant shall require similar coverage for any contract vehicles that it engages for transportation of personnel or personal property to or from the Premises.

(iii)Workers Compensation Insurance with limits as required by statute shall be maintained.

15

151177627 v8 

 

 

(iv)Employers’ Liability Insurance with limits not less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury by accident, $1,000,000 each employee for bodily injury by disease, and $1,000,000 policy limit for bodily injury by disease shall be maintained.

(v)Umbrella or Excess Liability Insurance over (i), (ii), and (iv) with limits of not less than $4,000,000 each occurrence and $4,000,000 aggregate per location. This insurance must also include the Landlord Parties as additional insureds insofar as it is excess over Tenant’s coverage under clause (i), on a primary and non-contributory basis.

(vi)Commercial Property Insurance with a limit equal to the full replacement cost and covering the fixtures, personal property, equipment, Tenant Improvements and betterments that will, at a minimum, cover the perils insured under ISO special causes of loss form (CP 10 30) and broad causes of loss form (CP 10 20) shall be provided.

(vii)If required by Landlord due to the nature of tenant’s operation, Boiler & Machinery Insurance covering the fixtures, personal property, equipment, tenant improvements and betterments from loss or damage caused by machinery breakdown or the explosion of steam boilers or pipes.

(viii)Intentionally omitted.

(ix)Business Income insurance with a limit adequate to pay for one year’s loss of business income resulting from suspension of the Tenant’s business operations, caused by property damage from a covered cause of loss to the Premises.

(c)Landlord’s Insurance.  Throughout the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall maintain, as a minimum, the following insurance policies.  Tenant shall pay its Proportionate Share of the cost of all insurance carried by Landlord with respect to the Project or Complex, as set forth in Exhibit C.  Landlord’s insurance policies shall be for the sole benefit of Landlord and under Landlord’s sole control, and Tenant shall have no right or claim to any proceeds thereof or any other rights thereunder:

(i)Building Insurance with a limit equal to full replacement cost less a commercially-reasonable deductible if the Landlord so chooses.

(ii)Commercial General Liability and Umbrella Insurance in an amount not less than $5,000,000.

(iii)Other insurance and additional coverage as Landlord may deem necessary, but not in excess of that incurred by comparable landlords for comparable buildings in the Project’s market area.

(d)No Subrogation.  LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH WAIVES ANY CLAIM IT MIGHT HAVE AGAINST THE OTHER FOR ANY DAMAGE TO OR THEFT, DESTRUCTION, LOSS, OR LOSS OF USE OF ANY PROPERTY, TO THE EXTENT THE SAME IS INSURED AGAINST UNDER ANY INSURANCE POLICY THAT COVERS THE BUILDING, THE PREMISES, LANDLORD’S OR TENANT’S FIXTURES, PERSONAL PROPERTY, LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS, OR BUSINESS, OR IS REQUIRED TO BE INSURED AGAINST UNDER THE TERMS HEREOF OR UNDER THE TENANT WORK LETTER, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE OTHER PARTY CAUSED SUCH LOSS. TENANT’S WAIVER IN THIS SECTION EXTENDS TO ALL LANDLORD PARTIES. LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT OF SUBROGATION AND RIGHT OF RECOVERY OR CAUSE OF ACTION FOR INJURY INCLUDING DEATH OR DISEASE TO RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES OF EITHER AS COVERED BY WORKER’S COMPENSATION (OR WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED IF TENANT OR LANDLORD 

16

151177627 v8 

 

 

AS THE CASE MAY BE, WAS CARRYING THE INSURANCE AS REQUIRED BY THIS LEASE). EACH PARTY SHALL CAUSE ITS INSURANCE CARRIER TO ENDORSE ALL APPLICABLE POLICIES WAIVING THE CARRIER’S RIGHTS OF RECOVERY UNDER SUBROGATION OR OTHERWISE AGAINST THOSE IN WHOSE FAVOR IT MAKES THE WAIVER IN THIS SECTION. 

12.Subordination; Attornment; Notice to Landlord’s Mortgagee.

(a)Subordination.  This Lease shall be subordinate to any deed of trust, mortgage, or other security instrument (each, a “Mortgage”), or any ground lease, master lease, or primary lease (each, a “Primary Lease”), that now or hereafter covers all or any part of the Premises (the mortgagee under any such Mortgage, beneficiary under any such deed of trust, or the lessor under any such Primary Lease is referred to herein as a “Landlord’s Mortgagee”).  The automatic subordination to Landlord’s Mortgagee provided for in this Section 12 is expressly conditioned upon such Landlord’s Mortgagee, agreeing that as long as no Event of Default occurs under this Lease, such Landlord’s Mortgagee will not disturb Tenant’s rights of possession under this Lease.  Any Landlord’s Mortgagee may elect at any time, unilaterally, to make this Lease superior to its Mortgage, Primary Lease, or other interest in the Premises by so notifying Tenant in writing.  The provisions of this Section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required; however, in confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall, subject to Tenant’s receipt of a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement,  execute and return to Landlord (or such other party designated in writing by Landlord) within ten (10) Business Days after written request therefor such documentation, in recordable form if required, as a Landlord’s Mortgagee may reasonably request to evidence the subordination of this Lease to such Landlord’s Mortgagee’s Mortgage or Primary Lease (including a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement) or, if the Landlord’s Mortgagee so elects, the subordination of such Landlord’s Mortgagee’s Mortgage or Primary Lease to this Lease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be obligated to execute any document which alters any material provision of the Lease.

(b)Attornment.  Tenant shall attorn to any party succeeding to Landlord’s interest in the Premises, whether by purchase, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, power of sale, termination of lease, or otherwise, upon such party’s request, and shall execute such commercially reasonable agreements confirming such attornment as such party may reasonably request.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be obligated to execute any document which alters any material provision of the Lease.

(c)Notice to Landlord’s Mortgagee.  Tenant shall not seek to enforce any remedy it may have for any default on the part of Landlord without first giving written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, specifying the default in reasonable detail, to any Landlord’s Mortgagee whose address has been given to Tenant, and affording such Landlord’s Mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to perform Landlord’s obligations hereunder.

13.Rules and Regulations.  Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Building (the “Rules and Regulations”) which are attached hereto as Exhibit E.  Landlord may, from time to time, change such rules and regulations for the safety, care, or cleanliness of the Building and related facilities, provided that such changes are applicable to all tenants of the Building (if the Building is no longer a single tenant building), will not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises, will not modify any of the provisions of the Lease, are provided to Tenant in writing and are enforced by Landlord in a non-discriminatory manner.  Tenant shall be responsible for the compliance with such rules and regulations by each Tenant Party.  The Rules and Regulations shall not be construed in any way to modify or amend, in whole or part, the terms, covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease, and in the event of any conflict between the terms of Rules and Regulations and this Lease, terms of this Lease shall control.

17

151177627 v8 

 

 

14.Condemnation.

(a)Total Taking.  If the entire Building or Premises are taken by right of eminent domain or conveyed in lieu thereof (a “Taking”), this Lease shall terminate as of the date of the Taking.

(b)Partial Taking - Tenant’s Rights.  If any part of the Building becomes subject to a Taking and such Taking will prevent Tenant from conducting its business in the Premises in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before such Taking for a period of more than one hundred twenty (120) days, then Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date of such Taking by giving written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Taking, and Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such Taking.  If Tenant does not terminate this Lease, then Rent shall be abated on a reasonable basis as to that portion of the Premises rendered untenantable by the Taking.  TENANT HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE PURSUANT TO SECTION 1265.130 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE. 

(c)Partial Taking - Landlord’s Rights.  If any material portion, but less than all, of the Building becomes subject to a Taking, or if Landlord is required to pay any of the proceeds arising from a Taking to a Landlord’s Mortgagee, then Landlord may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice thereof to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after such Taking, and Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such Taking.  If Landlord does not so terminate this Lease, then this Lease will continue, but if any portion of the Premises has been taken, Rent shall abate as provided in the next to last sentence of Section 14(b).

(d)Award.  If any Taking occurs, then Landlord shall receive the entire award or other compensation for the Land, the Building, and other improvements taken; however, Tenant may separately pursue a claim (to the extent it will not reduce Landlord’s award) against the condemnor for the value of Tenant’s personal property which Tenant is entitled to remove under this Lease, moving costs, loss of business, and other claims it may have (excluding any claim related to its leasehold interest).

(e)Repair.  If the Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall promptly proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the remaining part of the Premises and Building substantially to their former condition to the extent feasible to constitute a complete and tenantable Building and Premises; provided, however, that Landlord shall only be required to reconstruct building standard leasehold improvements existing in the Premises as of the date of the Taking, and Tenant shall be required to pay the cost for restoring any other leasehold improvements, and the Rent shall be decreased proportionately to reflect the loss of any portion of the Premises rendered untenantable during the restoration thereof.  In no event shall Landlord be required to spend more than the condemnation proceeds received by Landlord for such repair.

15.Fire or Other Casualty.

(a)Repair Estimate.  If the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Landlord shall use good faith efforts to deliver to Tenant within sixty (60) days after such Casualty a good faith estimate (the “Damage Notice”) of the time needed to repair the damage caused by such Casualty.

(b)Tenant’s Rights.  If a material portion of the Premises is damaged by Casualty such that Tenant is prevented from conducting its business in the Premises in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before such Casualty, and Landlord estimates that the damage caused thereby cannot be repaired within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of the Casualty (the “Repair Period”), then Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant.  Tenant shall also have the right to terminate if Casualty occurs during the last one (1) year of the Term and the Casualty substantially impairs, in Tenant’s reasonable judgment, Tenant’s operation of its business in the Premises for more than sixty (60) days.

18

151177627 v8 

 

 

(c)Landlord’s Rights.  If a Casualty damages the Premises or a material portion of the Building and: (1) Landlord estimates that the damage to the Premises cannot be repaired within the Repair Period; (2) the damage to the Premises exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the replacement cost thereof (excluding foundations and footings), as estimated by Landlord, and such damage occurs during the last eighteen (18) months of the Term (unless Tenant exercises any renewal rights it may have in the Lease); (3) regardless of the extent of damage to the Premises, Landlord makes a good faith determination that restoring the Building would be uneconomical; or (4) Landlord is required to pay any insurance proceeds arising out of the Casualty to a Landlord’s Mortgagee, then Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant.

(d)Repair Obligation.  If neither party elects to terminate this Lease following a Casualty, then Landlord shall, within a reasonable time after such Casualty, begin to repair the Premises and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as they existed immediately before such Casualty; however, other than building standard leasehold improvements Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any Tenant Improvements or Alterations or betterments within the Premises (which shall be promptly and with due diligence repaired and restored by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) or any furniture, equipment, trade fixtures or personal property of Tenant or others in the Premises or the Building, and Landlord’s obligation to repair or restore the Premises shall be limited to the extent of the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord for the Casualty in question.  If Landlord fails to complete repairs to the Premises within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of the Casualty, subject to delays caused by Force Majeure Events, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease upon written notice delivered to Landlord at any time after such two hundred seventy (270) day period and prior to Landlord’s substantial completion of such repairs.

(e)Abatement of Rent.  If the Premises are damaged by Casualty, Rent for the portion of the Premises rendered untenantable by the damage shall be abated on a reasonable basis from the date of damage until the completion of Landlord’s repairs (or until the date of termination of this Lease by Landlord or Tenant as provided above, as the case may be).

(f)Waiver of Statutory Provisions.  The provisions of this Lease, including this Section 15, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Project, and any statute or regulation of the State of California, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Project.  

16.Personal Property Taxes.  Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against personal property, furniture, or fixtures placed by Tenant in the Premises or in or on the Building or Project.  If any taxes for which Tenant is liable are levied or assessed against Landlord or Landlord’s property and Landlord elects to pay the same, or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by inclusion of such personal property, furniture or fixtures and Landlord elects to pay the taxes based on such increase, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days following written request therefor, the part of such taxes for which Tenant is primarily liable hereunder.

17.Events of Default.  Each of the following occurrences shall be an “Event of Default”:

(a)Payment Default.  Tenant’s failure to pay Rent within five (5) calendar days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s written notice that the same is due;

19

151177627 v8 

 

 

(b)Abandonment.  Tenant abandons the Premises or any substantial portion thereof, abandonment being defined as Tenant’s vacation of the Premises and failure to meet one (1) or more lease obligations;

(c)Intentionally Omitted;

(d)Insurance.  Tenant fails, within ten (10) business days following written notice from Landlord, to procure, maintain and deliver to Landlord evidence of the insurance policies and coverages as required under Section 11(b);

(e)Mechanic’s Liens.  Tenant fails to pay and release of record, or diligently contest and bond around, any mechanic’s lien filed against the Premises or the Project for any work performed, materials furnished, or obligation incurred by or at the request of Tenant, within the time and in the manner required by Section 8(c);

(f)Other Defaults.  Tenant’s failure to perform, comply with, or observe any other agreement or obligation of Tenant under this Lease and the continuance of such failure for a period of thirty (30) calendar days or more after Landlord has delivered to Tenant written notice thereof; provided, however, if such default is of the type which cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, then Tenant shall have such longer time as is reasonably necessary provided Tenant commences to cure within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord and diligently prosecutes such cure to completion; and

(g)Insolvency.  The filing of a petition by or against Tenant (the term “Tenant” shall include, for the purpose of this Section 17(g), any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder): (1) in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding; (2) seeking any relief under any state or federal debtor relief law; (3) for the appointment of a liquidator or receiver for all or substantially all of Tenant’s property or for Tenant’s interest in this Lease; or (4) for the reorganization or modification of Tenant’s capital structure; however, if such a petition is filed against Tenant, then such filing shall not be an Event of Default unless Tenant fails to have the proceedings initiated by such petition dismissed within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the filing thereof.

18.Remedies.  Upon an Event of Default, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever. 

(a)Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:

(i)The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus

(ii)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 Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(iii)The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(iv)Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary 

20

151177627 v8 

 

 

course of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including, but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; and

(v)At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.

The term “rent” as used in this Section 18 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others.  As used in Sections 18(a)(i) and (ii) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Default Rate, but in no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law.  As used in Section 18(a)(iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

(b)Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue 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).  Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.

(c)Subleases of Tenant.  Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any Event of Default by Tenant, as set forth in this Section 18, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, succeed to Tenant’s interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements.  In the event of Landlord’s election to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.

(d)Form of Payment After Default.  Following the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to require that any or all subsequent amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, whether in the cure of the default in question or otherwise, be paid in the form of cash, money order, cashier’s or certified check drawn on an institution reasonably acceptable to Landlord, or by other means approved by Landlord, notwithstanding any prior practice of accepting payments in any different form.

(e)Efforts to Relet.  For the purposes of this Section 18, Tenant’s right to possession shall not be deemed to have been terminated by efforts of Landlord to relet the Premises, by its acts of maintenance or preservation with respect to the Premises, or by appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord’s interests hereunder.  The foregoing enumeration is not exhaustive, but merely illustrative of acts which may be performed by Landlord without terminating Tenant’s right to possession.

(f)Landlord Defaults and Tenant Remedies.  Except as otherwise provided in this Lease and specifically subject to Section 26(b), if Landlord fails in the performance of any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice thereof from Tenant (and an additional reasonable time after such receipt if (A) such failure cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period, and (B) Landlord commences curing such failure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the curing of such failure), then Tenant shall be entitled to exercise any remedies that Tenant may have at law or in equity.  TENANT WAIVES ANY 

21

151177627 v8 

 

 

RIGHT TO OBTAIN ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR SIMILAR DAMAGES. 

19.Payment by Tenant; Non-Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(a)Payment by Tenant.  Upon any Event of Default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in: (1) obtaining possession of the Premises; (2) removing and storing Tenant’s or any other occupant’s property; (3) repairing, restoring, altering, remodeling, or otherwise putting the Premises into condition reasonably acceptable to a new tenant (provided that Tenant shall not be responsible for costs to change the character of the Premises from an office use to a primarily retail, industrial or other non-office type of use); (4) if Tenant is dispossessed of the Premises and this Lease is not terminated, reletting all or any part of the Premises (including brokerage commissions, cost of tenant finish work, and other costs incidental to such reletting); (5) performing Tenant’s obligations which Tenant failed to perform; and (6) enforcing, or advising Landlord of, its rights, remedies, and recourses arising out of the Event of Default.  To the full extent permitted by Law, Landlord and Tenant agree the federal and state courts of the state in which the Premises are located shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any matter relating to or arising from this Lease and the parties’ rights and obligations under this Lease.

(b)No Waiver.  Landlord’s acceptance of Rent following an Event of Default shall not waive Landlord’s rights regarding such Event of Default.  No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach of any of the terms contained herein shall waive Landlord’s rights regarding any future violation of such term.  Landlord’s acceptance of any partial payment of Rent shall not waive Landlord’s rights with regard to the remaining portion of the Rent that is due, regardless of any endorsement or other statement on any instrument delivered in payment of Rent or any writing delivered in connection therewith; accordingly, Landlord’s acceptance of a partial payment of Rent shall not constitute an accord and satisfaction of the full amount of the Rent that is due.

(c)Cumulative Remedies.  Any and all remedies set forth in this Lease:  (1) shall be in addition to any and all other remedies Landlord may have at law or in equity; (2) shall be cumulative; and (3) may be pursued successively or concurrently as Landlord may elect.  The exercise of any remedy by Landlord shall not be deemed an election of remedies or preclude Landlord from exercising any other remedies in the future.

20.Intentionally Omitted.

21.Surrender of Premises.

(a)General.  No act by Landlord shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by Landlord.  At the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the Premises with all improvements located therein in good repair and condition, free of Hazardous Materials for which Tenant has responsibility under this Lease, in broom-clean condition including cleaning of interior surface of all walls, flooring, ceiling and/ or roof deck due to Tenant’s specific use (with such cleaning by commercial cleaning application as reasonably approved by Landlord), reasonable wear and tear and condemnation and Casualty damage (as to which Section 14 and Section 15 shall control) excepted, and shall deliver to Landlord all keys to the Premises.  Tenant shall remove all unattached trade fixtures, furniture, and personal property placed in the Premises or elsewhere in the Building by Tenant (but Tenant may not remove any such item which was paid for, in whole or in part, by Landlord or any wiring or cabling unless Landlord requires such removal).  Additionally, at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall (not later than ten (10) days after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease) remove such alterations, additions (including stairs and bank vaults), improvements, trade fixtures, personal property, equipment, wiring, conduits, cabling and furniture (including Tenant’s Off-Premises Equipment) installed by Tenant as Landlord may request; however, Tenant shall not be required to remove either the Tenant Improvements or 

22

151177627 v8 

 

 

any Alterations to the Premises or the Project unless a Removal Notice was provided to Tenant at the time of Landlord’s consent to installation.  Tenant shall repair all damage caused by such removal.  All items not so removed shall, at Landlord’s option, be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed, or otherwise disposed of by Landlord at Tenant’s cost without notice to Tenant and without any obligation to account for such items; any such disposition shall not be considered a strict foreclosure or other exercise of Landlord’s rights in respect of the security interest granted under Section 20.  The provisions of this Section 21 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

(b)Environmental Assessment.  Prior to the expiration of the Lease (or within thirty (30) days after any earlier termination) plus additional time (but in no event in excess of thirty (30) days) as may be required by Tenant to obtain governmental sign-offs in connection with the decommissioning, Tenant shall clean and otherwise decommission all interior surfaces (including floors, walls, ceilings, and counters), piping, supply lines, waste lines and plumbing in or serving the Premises, and all exhaust or other ductwork in or serving the Premises, in each case that has carried, released or otherwise been exposed to any Hazardous Materials due to Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, and shall otherwise clean the Premises so as to permit the Environmental Assessment called for by this Section 21(b) to be issued. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall not be liable for any Hazardous Materials (i) which were placed on the Premises or the Project by Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors or any third parties not under Tenant’s control, (ii) which were located at the Premises or the Project on the Delivery Date, or (iii) which migrated through air, water or soil from a location outside of the Premises through no act, omission or fault of Tenant or Tenant Party.  Prior to the expiration of this Lease (or within thirty (30) days after any earlier termination), Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall obtain for Landlord a report (an “Environmental Assessment”) addressed to Landlord (and, at Tenant’s election, Tenant) by a reputable licensed environmental engineer or industrial hygienist that is designated by Tenant and acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, which report shall be based on the environmental engineer’s inspection of the Premises and shall state, to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, that:  (a) the Hazardous Materials described in the first sentence of this paragraph, to the extent, if any, existing prior to such decommissioning, have been removed in accordance with applicable Laws; (b) all Hazardous Materials described in the first sentence of this paragraph, if any, have been removed in accordance with Applicable Laws from the interior surfaces of the Premises (including floors, walls, ceilings, and counters), piping, supply lines, waste lines and plumbing, and all such exhaust or other ductwork in the Premises, may be reused by a subsequent tenant or disposed of in compliance with applicable Laws without incurring special costs or undertaking special procedures for demolition, disposal, investigation, assessment, cleaning or removal of such Hazardous Materials and without giving notice in connection with such Hazardous Materials; and (c) the Premises may be reoccupied for office, research and development, or laboratory use, demolished or renovated without incurring special costs or undertaking special procedures for disposal, investigation, assessment, cleaning or removal of Hazardous Materials described in the first sentence of this paragraph and without giving notice in connection with Hazardous Materials.  Further, for purposes of clauses (b) and (c), “special costs” or “special procedures” shall mean costs or procedures, as the case may be, that would not be incurred but for the nature of the Hazardous Materials as Hazardous Materials instead of non-hazardous materials.  The report shall also include reasonable detail concerning the clean-up measures taken, the clean-up locations, the tests run and the analytic results.  Tenant shall submit to Landlord the identity of the applicable consultants and the scope of the proposed Environmental Assessment for Landlord’s reasonable review and approval at least thirty (30) days prior to commencing the work described therein or at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, whichever is earlier.

(c)Remedies.  If Tenant fails to perform its obligations under Section 21(b), without limiting any other right or remedy, Landlord may, on five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Tenant perform such obligations at Tenant’s expense if Tenant has not commenced to do so within said five (5) Business Day period, and Tenant shall within ten (10) days of written demand reimburse Landlord for all 

23

151177627 v8 

 

 

reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such work.  Tenant’s obligations under Section 21(b) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.  In addition, at Landlord’s election, Landlord may inspect the Premises and/or the Project for Hazardous Materials at Landlord’s cost and expense within sixty (60) days of Tenant’s surrender of the Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.  Tenant shall pay for all such reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such inspection if such inspection reveals that a release or threat of release of Hazardous Materials exists at the Project or Premises as a result of the violation of Section 25 by Tenant or a Tenant Party.

22.Holding Over.  If Tenant fails to vacate the Premises at the end of the Term, then Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance and, in addition to all other damages and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled for such holding over, Tenant shall pay, in addition to the other Rent, Base Rent equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent payable during the last month of the Term (as applicable, the “Holdover Rate”), and Tenant shall otherwise continue to be subject to all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.  The provisions of this Section 22 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at Law.  IF TENANT FAILS TO SURRENDER THE PREMISES UPON THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THIS LEASE (EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE), IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER LIABILITIES TO LANDLORD ACCRUING THEREFROM, TENANT SHALL PROTECT, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD LANDLORD HARMLESS FROM ALL LOSS, COSTS (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) AND LIABILITY RESULTING FROM SUCH FAILURE, INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS MADE BY ANY SUCCEEDING TENANT FOUNDED UPON SUCH FAILURE TO SURRENDER, AND ANY LOST PROFITS TO LANDLORD RESULTING THEREFROM.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant remains in the Premises at the end of the Term with the written consent of Landlord, then Tenant shall be a month-to-month tenant at the Holdover Rate, and Tenant shall otherwise continue to be subject to all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

23.Certain Rights Reserved by Landlord.  Provided that the exercise of such rights does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s access to and occupancy of the Premises, Landlord shall have the following rights:

(a)Building Operations.  To make such inspections, repairs, alterations, additions, changes, or improvements, whether structural or otherwise, as are expressly provided in this Lease, in and about the Project or Complex, as applicable, or any part thereof; to enter upon the Premises (after giving Tenant prior notice thereof, which may be oral notice, except in cases of real or apparent emergency, in which case no notice shall be required) and, during the continuance of any such work, to temporarily close public space; to interrupt or temporarily suspend Building services and facilities; and to change the arrangement and location of entrances or passageways, doors, and doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, restrooms, or other public parts of the Building (after giving Tenant three (3) business days’ notice thereof, except in cases or real or apparent emergency, in which case no notice shall be required);

Landlord hereby represents to Tenant that the location and size of each Cell Tower Equipment on the rooftop and related equipment in the electric room in the underground parking garage on Exhibit K attached to this Lease are accurate depiction of the current location and current size of the Cell Tower Equipment, and that the location or the size of the Cell Tower Equipment shall not be modified during the Term, except as otherwise provided in the following:  (i) Communications Site Lease Agreement dated as of September 18, 1995, as amended, for Pacific Bell Mobile Services, and (ii) PCS Site Agreement dated as of May 20, 1996, as amended, for Spring Spectrum Realty Group (such items set forth in (i) and (ii) to be collectively referred to as the “Cell Tower Leases”).  Tenant shall not have any rights to access, use or have any other right to such Cell Tower Equipment.  Tenant shall provide Landlord and the Cell Tower Owners with access to the Cell Tower Equipment (which shall be through the stairway inside the Building) upon reasonable advance notice (which may be oral notice), provided that (i) Landlord and/or the Cell Tower Owners shall not unreasonably disturb Tenant’s use of the Premises in connection with their access to the Cell Tower Equipment, and (ii) Tenant’s facility manager shall have the right to accompany such Cell Tower Owners to where the Cell Tower Equipment are located.  Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant pursuant to Landlord’s receipt of notification from any Cell Tower Owner that such Cell Tower Owner shall be accessing the Cell Tower Equipment.  Except due to the acts, omissions, and/or willful misconduct of Landlord, Landlord Parties or Cell Tower Owners, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord and its partners, trustees and their officers, directors, shareholders, beneficiaries, agents, servants, employees and independent contractors from all claim, loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with or arising from any willful misconduct or gross negligence of Tenant or its partners, trustees and their officers, directors, shareholders, beneficiaries, agents, servants, employees and independent contractors in connection with the Cell Tower Equipment during the Term of this Lease.

151177627 v8

At any time and from time to time during the Term of this Lease, if Landlord reasonably believes Tenant is violating the terms of this Section 25, Landlord may perform an environmental site assessment report concerning the Premises, prepared by an environmental consulting firm chosen by Landlord, indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Materials caused or permitted by Tenant and the potential cost of any compliance, removal or remedial action in connection with any such Hazardous Materials on the Premises.  Tenant shall grant and hereby grants to Landlord and its agents access to the Premises and specifically grants Landlord an irrevocable non-exclusive license to undertake such an assessment upon reasonable advance notice (which may be oral notice).

26

151177627 v8 

 

 

TENANT OR TENANT PARTY.  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 25 SHALL SURVIVE THE EXPIRATION OR SOONER TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE.

To the extent that the undertaking in the preceding paragraphs may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Tenant will contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all Tenant Hazardous Materials Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees.

The parties hereto may change their addresses by giving notice thereof to the other in conformity with this provision.

(h)Amendments; Binding Effect.  This Lease may not be amended except by instrument in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant.  No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless such waiver is in writing signed by Landlord, and no custom or practice which may evolve between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof shall waive or diminish the right of Landlord to insist upon the performance by Tenant in strict accordance with the terms hereof.  The terms and conditions contained in this Lease shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and upon their respective successors in interest and legal representatives, except as otherwise herein expressly provided.  This Lease is for the sole benefit of Landlord and Tenant, and, other than Landlord’s Mortgagee, no third party shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof.

(i)Quiet Enjoyment.

(o)Recording.  Tenant shall not record this Lease or any memorandum of this Lease without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld or denied in the sole and absolute discretion of Landlord, and any recordation by Tenant shall be a material breach of this Lease.  

29

151177627 v8 

 

 

Tenant grants to Landlord a power of attorney to execute and record a release releasing any such recorded instrument of record that was recorded without the prior written consent of Landlord, which power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is non-revocable during the Term.

All unperformed obligations of Tenant hereunder not fully performed at the end of the Term shall survive the end of the Term, including payment obligations with respect to Rent and all obligations concerning the condition and repair of the Premises.

(q)Financial Reports.  Within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s request, Tenant will furnish Tenant’s most recent audited financial statements (including any notes to them) to Landlord, or, if no such audited statements have been prepared, such other financial statements (and notes to them) as may have been prepared by an independent certified public accountant or, failing those, Tenant’s internally prepared financial statements.  If Tenant is a publicly traded corporation, Tenant may satisfy its obligations hereunder by providing to Landlord Tenant’s most recent annual and quarterly reports.  Landlord will not disclose any aspect of Tenant’s financial statements that Tenant designates to Landlord as confidential except: (1) to Landlord’s Mortgagee or prospective mortgagees or purchasers of the Building; (2) in litigation between Landlord and Tenant; and (3) if required by court order.  Tenant shall not be required to deliver the financial statements required under this Section 26(q) more than once in any twelve (12) month period unless requested by Landlord’s Mortgagee or a prospective buyer or lender of the Building or a Default occurs.

(r)Landlord’s Fees.

The installation of the Telecommunications Equipment shall constitute an Alteration and shall be performed in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Article 8 of this Lease, and the Telecommunications Equipment shall be treated for all purposes of the Lease as if the same were Tenant’s property.  The cost of the Telecommunications Equipment and all costs of installing, maintaining and removing the Telecommunications Equipment shall be borne solely by Tenant.  Upon the expiration of the Term or upon

(t)Confidentiality.  Tenant acknowledges that the terms and conditions of this Lease are to remain confidential for Landlord’s benefit, and may not be disclosed by Tenant to anyone, by any manner or means, directly or indirectly (except to Tenant’s attorneys and accountants which have been informed of the confidentiality provisions of this Lease and further except as Tenant shall be required under applicable laws including requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission) without Landlord’s prior written consent.  The consent by Landlord to any disclosures shall not be deemed to be a waiver on the part of Landlord of any prohibition against any future disclosure.

(u)Authority.  Each of Landlord and Tenant (if a corporation, partnership or other business entity) hereby represents and warrants to the other party that it is a duly formed and existing entity qualified to do business in the state in which the Premises are located, that it has full right and authority to execute and deliver this Lease, and that each person signing on behalf of itself is authorized to do so.

(v)Waiver.  LANDLORD AND TENANT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY THAT THE PREMISES ARE SUITABLE FOR TENANT’S INTENDED COMMERCIAL PURPOSE, AND TENANT’S OBLIGATION TO PAY RENT HEREUNDER IS NOT DEPENDENT UPON THE CONDITION OF THE PREMISES OR THE PERFORMANCE BY LANDLORD OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, TENANT SHALL CONTINUE TO PAY THE RENT, WITHOUT ABATEMENT, DEMAND, SETOFF OR DEDUCTION, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY BREACH BY LANDLORD OF ITS DUTIES OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.  TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, Tenant WAIVES THE BENEFIT OF ANY CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS.

(w)Tenant Representation.  Tenant is not a person or entity described by Sec. 1 of the Executive Order (No. 13,224) Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism, 66 Fed. Reg. 49,079 (Sept. 24, 2001), and does not engage in any dealings or transactions, and is not otherwise associated, with any such persons or entities.

(x)Transportation Management.  Tenant shall fully comply with all present or future programs intended to manage parking, transportation or traffic in and around the Complex, and in connection therewith, Tenant shall take responsible action for the transportation planning and management of all employees located at the Premises by working directly with Landlord, any governmental transportation management organization or any other transportation-related committees or entities.

(y)CC&Rs; Disclosure.   Tenant acknowledges that this Lease is subject to (i) that certain Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Koll Center Sierra Point, dated October 9, 1984, and recorded on October 17, 1984 as Instrument No. 84112690 in the Official Records of San Mateo County, California (as the same has been and may be amended), and (ii) that certain Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Environmental Restrictions Relating to Environmental Compliance for Sierra Point, dated October 21, 1998 and recorded on October 23, 1998 as Instrument No. 98-172219 in the Official Records of San Mateo County, California (as the same has been and may be amended) (collectively, the “CC&Rs”).

(z)Disclosure.  For purposes of Section 1938(a) of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that neither the Complex nor the Premises has undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) (defined by California Civil Code Section 55.52). Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1938, Tenant is hereby notified that a CASp can inspect the Premises and determine whether the Premises complies with all of the applicable 

31

151177627 v8 

 

 

construction-related accessibility standards under state law.

1.Additional Rent.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord all costs (100%) of Common Area Maintenance Costs, Taxes, and Insurance for the Building, and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the annual Common Area Maintenance Costs (defined below) in the Complex (“Additional Rent”).  The estimated projected monthly Additional Rent for 2017 is $0.85 per rentable square feet, it being agreed and acknowledged by Tenant that this is only an estimate of the projected Additional Rent for the Complex, is not binding on Landlord and that the actual Additional Rent may be in excess of such estimate.  Landlord may make a good faith estimate of the Additional Rent to be due by Tenant for any calendar year or part thereof during the Term and provide such estimate to Tenant.  During each calendar year or partial calendar year of the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance concurrently with each monthly installment of Base Rent, an amount equal to the estimated Additional Rent for such calendar year or part thereof divided by the number of months therein.  From time to time, Landlord may estimate and re-estimate the Additional Rent to be due by Tenant and deliver a copy of the estimate or re-estimate to Tenant.  Thereafter, the monthly installments of Additional Rent payable by Tenant shall be appropriately adjusted in accordance with the estimations so that, by the end of the calendar year in question, Tenant shall have paid all of the Additional Rent as estimated by Landlord.  Any amounts paid based on such an estimate shall be subject to adjustment as herein provided when actual Common Area Maintenance Costs are available for each calendar year.

2.Common Area Maintenance Costs.  The term “Common Area Maintenance Costs” shall mean all expenses and disbursements (subject to the limitations set forth below) that Landlord incurs in connection with the ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Project or Complex, as applicable, determined in accordance with sound accounting principles consistently applied, including the following costs:  (a) wages and salaries of all on-site employees at or below the grade of senior building manager engaged in the operation, maintenance, repair or security of the Project or Complex, as applicable (together with Landlord’s reasonable allocation of expenses of off-site employees at or below the grade of senior building manager who perform a portion of their services in connection with the operation, maintenance or security of the Project or Complex, as applicable), including taxes, insurance and benefits relating thereto; (b) all supplies and materials used in the operation, maintenance, repair, replacement, and security of the Project or Complex, as applicable; (c) costs for improvements made to the Project or Complex, as applicable which, although capital in nature, all as amortized over the Useful Life of such capital improvement item at an interest rate equal to the “prime rate” as announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A., plus one percent (1%) per annum are (i) expected to reduce the normal Common Area Maintenance Costs (including all utility costs) of the Project or Complex, taking into consideration the anticipated cost savings, as determined by Landlord using its good faith, commercially reasonable judgment, as well as (ii) capital improvements made in order to comply with any applicable Law hereafter promulgated by any governmental authority or any interpretation hereafter rendered with respect to any existing Law, as well as (iii) capital improvements made to improve the health, safety and welfare of the Building and its occupants; (d) cost of all utilities used in the Common Areas; (e) repairs, replacements, and general maintenance of the Project or Complex, including common area maintenance fees charged by an owner’s association and reasonable market-rate property management fees charged by Owner’s property manager or by Owner, as applicable (which management fee shall not exceed three percent (3%) of gross revenues generated by the Project or Complex); (f) fair market rental for a commercially reasonable amount of space with respect to the management office for the Building or Complex, if any; (g) service, maintenance and management contracts with independent contractors for the operation, maintenance, management, repair, replacement, or security of the Project or Complex, as applicable, including the Common Areas; and (h) payments under any easement, license, operating agreement, declaration, restrictive covenant, or instrument now or hereafter affecting the Complex, including, without limitation, the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Koll Center Sierra Point, dated October 9, 1984, and recorded 

EXHIBIT C-1

151177627 v8

If the Building is part of a Complex, Common Area Maintenance Costs may be prorated among the Project and the other buildings of the Complex, as reasonably and equitably determined by Landlord.

Common Area Maintenance Costs shall not include costs for: (1) repair, replacements and general maintenance paid by proceeds of insurance or by Tenant or other third parties; (2) interest, amortization or other payments on loans to Landlord including principal, fees and penalties; (3) depreciation; (4) leasing commissions; (5) legal expenses; (6) renovating or otherwise improving space for leased premises of the Project or Complex, as applicable or vacant space in the Project or Complex, as applicable; (7) Taxes and Insurance which are paid separately pursuant to Sections 3 and 4 below; (8) any net income, franchise, capital stock, estate or inheritance taxes, federal income taxes imposed on or measured by the income of Landlord from the operation of the Project or Complex, as applicable or taxes that are the personal obligation of Tenant or of another tenant of the Project or Complex, as applicable; (9) capital improvements made to the Project or Complex, as applicable, other than capital improvements described in Section 2 of this Exhibit and except for items which are generally considered maintenance and repair items, such as painting of Common Areas, and the like; (10) expenses of initial development and construction, including grading, paving, landscaping and decorating (as distinguished from maintenance, repair and replacement of the foregoing) and the cost of correcting defects in the construction of the Building or in the Building’s Systems; (11) salaries of officers and executives of Landlord; (12) the cost of any work or service performed for any tenant of the Building (other than Tenant) to a materially greater extent or in a materially more favorable manner than that furnished generally to the tenants and other occupants (including Tenant); (13) all costs of cleanup, removal, investigation and/or remediation (collectively, “Remediation Costs”) of any Hazardous Substances in, on or under the Project and/or the Complex, as applicable, the extent such Hazardous Substances are (x) in existence as of the Delivery Date and in violation of applicable Laws, or (y) introduced onto the Project and/or the Complex, as applicable, after the Delivery Date by Landlord or any of Landlord’s agents, employees, contractors or tenants or other third parties not related to Tenant in violation of applicable Laws; (14) the cost of any repairs, alterations, additions, changes, replacements and other items which are made in order to prepare for a new tenant’s occupancy; (15) any advertising expenses; (16) any costs included in Common Area Maintenance Costs representing an amount paid to a corporation related to Landlord which is in excess of the amount which would have been paid in the absence of such relationship; (17) interest and penalties due to late payment of any amounts owed by Landlord, except such as may be incurred as a result of Tenant’s failure to timely pay its portion of such amounts or as a result of Landlord’s contesting such amounts in good faith; (18) costs related to the existence and maintenance of Landlord as a legal entity including professional fees, except to the extent attributable to the operation and management of the Project or Complex, as applicable; (19) the cost of any work or service performed for any tenant (including Tenant) at such tenant’s cost; (20) costs incurred to remedy violations of applicable Laws in the Common Areas or Premises to the extent such violations existed prior to the Delivery Date; (21) costs of repairs to the extent reimbursed by payment of insurance proceeds received by Landlord; (22) costs or expenses incurred in connection with the financing or sale of the Project or any portion thereof (it being the intent of the parties hereto that Tenant’s obligation to pay Taxes shall be covered by the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in Section 3 of this Exhibit C and that Taxes shall include all taxes, assessments and governmental charges in connection with Proposition 13, as hereinafter defined in Section 3 of this Exhibit C); (23) costs expressly excluded from Common Area Maintenance Costs elsewhere in this Lease or that are charged to or paid by Tenant under other provisions of this Lease; (23) any cost incurred in connection with Cell Tower Equipment (including, without limitation, installation of meters and utilities used by Cell Tower Equipment); and (25) any item that, if included in Common Area Maintenance Costs, would involve a double collection for such item by Landlord. 

EXHIBIT C-2

151177627 v8 

 

3.Taxes.  Tenant shall pay all Taxes for the Building, and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes for the Complex for each year and partial year falling within the Term.  Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes in the same manner as provided above for Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Maintenance Costs.  “Taxes” shall mean taxes, assessments, and governmental charges or fees whether federal, state, county or municipal, and whether they be by taxing districts or authorities presently taxing or by others, subsequently created or otherwise, and any other taxes and assessments (including non-governmental assessments for common charges under a restrictive covenant or other private agreement that are not treated as part of Common Area Maintenance Costs) now or hereafter attributable to the Project or Complex, as applicable (or its operation), excluding, however, penalties and interest thereon and federal and state taxes on income (if the present method of taxation changes so that in lieu of or in addition to the whole or any part of any Taxes, there is levied on Landlord a capital tax directly on the rents received therefrom or a franchise tax, assessment, or charge based, in whole or in part, upon such rents for the Project or Complex, as applicable, then all such taxes, assessments, or charges, or the part thereof so based, shall be deemed to be included within the term “Taxes” for purposes hereof).  Taxes shall include the costs of consultants retained in an effort to lower taxes and all costs incurred in disputing any taxes or in seeking to lower the tax valuation of the Project.  Taxes shall also include any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election (“Proposition 13”) and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, conservation, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants, and, in further recognition of the decrease in the level and quality of governmental services and amenities as a result of Proposition 13, Taxes shall also include any governmental or private assessments or the Building’s or Complex’s contribution towards a governmental or private cost-sharing agreement for the purpose of augmenting or improving the quality of services and amenities normally provided by governmental agencies.  It is the intention of Tenant and Landlord that all such new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies, and charges and all similar assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included within the definition of Taxes for purposes of this Lease.  FOR PROPERTY TAX PURPOSES, TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, TENANT WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO PROTEST OR APPEAL THE APPRAISED VALUE OF THE PREMISES, AS WELL AS THE PROJECT AND COMPLEX, AND ALL RIGHTS TO RECEIVE NOTICES OF REAPPRAISEMENT.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, upon demand for any and all taxes required to be paid by Landlord (except to the extent included in Taxes for the Complex by Landlord), excluding state, local and federal personal or corporate income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources, capital stock, franchise and estate and inheritance taxes, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto, when: (a) said taxes are 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 by the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant, including the Tenant Improvements, to the extent the cost or value of such leasehold improvements exceeds the cost or value of a building standard build out as determined by Landlord regardless of whether title to such improvements shall be vested in Tenant or Landlord; (b) said taxes are assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Complex used by Tenant in connection with this Lease; or (c) said taxes are assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

4.Insurance.  Tenant shall pay all Insurance for the Building, and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Insurance for the Complex for each year and partial year falling within the Term.  Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Insurance in the same manner as provided above for Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Maintenance Costs.  “Insurance” shall mean property, liability and 

EXHIBIT C-3

151177627 v8 

 

other insurance coverages carried by Landlord, including without limitation deductibles and risk retention programs and an allocation of a portion of the cost of blanket insurance policies maintained by Landlord and/or its affiliates, provided that such insurance deductibles or premiums shall not be in excess of that incurred by comparable landlords for comparable buildings in the Project’s market area.

5.Common Area Maintenance, Tax and Insurance Statement.  By May 1 of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of Common Area Maintenance Costs, Taxes, and Insurance for the Building and the Complex for the previous year, adjusted as provided in Section 6 of this Exhibit (the “Common Area Maintenance, Tax and Insurance Statement”).  If Tenant’s estimated payments of Common Area Maintenance or Taxes or Insurance for the Building and the Complex under this Exhibit C for the year covered by the Common Area Maintenance Costs, Tax and Insurance Statement exceed Tenant’s share of such items as indicated in the Common Area Maintenance, Tax and Insurance Statement, then Landlord shall promptly credit or reimburse Tenant for such excess; likewise, if Tenant’s estimated payments of Common Area Maintenance, Taxes and Insurance under this Exhibit C for such year are less than Tenant’s share of such items as indicated in the Common Area Maintenance, Tax and Insurance Statement, then Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord such deficiency, notwithstanding that the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises.

6.Gross-Up.  With respect to any calendar year or partial calendar year in which the Complex is not occupied to the extent of 95% of the rentable area thereof, or Landlord is not supplying services to 95% of the rentable area thereof, the portion of Common Area Maintenance Costs for the Complex for such period which vary by occupancy shall, for the purposes hereof, be increased to the amount which would have been incurred had the Complex been occupied to the extent of 95% of the rentable area thereof and Landlord had been supplying services to 95% of the rentable area thereof.

7.Tenant’s Audit Right.  Upon Tenant’s written request given not more than ninety (90) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Common Area Maintenance, Tax and Insurance Statement, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with such reasonable supporting documentation in connection with said Common Area Maintenance Costs, Taxes and Insurance as Tenant may reasonably request.  Landlord shall provide said information to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s written request therefor.  Within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Common Area Maintenance, Tax and Insurance Statement by Tenant (the “Review Period”), if Tenant disputes the amount of Additional Rent set forth in the Common Area Maintenance, Tax and Insurance Statement, an independent certified public accountant (which accountant (A) is a member of a nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm which has previous experience in reviewing financial operating records of landlords of comparable buildings, (B) shall not have provided primary accounting and/or lease administration services to Tenant in the past three (3) years, and (C) is not working on a contingency fee basis) designated and paid for by Tenant, may, after reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, inspect Landlord’s records with respect to the Common Area Maintenance, Tax and Insurance Statement at Landlord’s corporate offices, provided that Tenant is not in default under the Lease (subject to the applicable notice and cure periods).  In connection with such inspection, Tenant and Tenant’s agents must agree in advance to abide by Landlord’s reasonable rules and procedures regarding such inspection, and shall execute a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement regarding such inspection.  Such inspection shall be completed in a timely manner but no later than thirty (30) days after the date Tenant’s accountant commences such inspection.  Any audit report prepared by Tenant’s auditors shall be delivered concurrently to Landlord and Tenant within such thirty (30) day period.  Tenant’s failure to dispute the amount of Additional Rent set forth in any Common Area Maintenance, Tax and Insurance Statement within the Review Period shall be deemed to be Tenant’s approval of such statement and Tenant, thereafter, waives the right or ability to dispute the amounts set forth in such statement.  If after such inspection, Tenant still disputes such Additional Rent, a determination as to the proper amount may be made, at Tenant’s option and expense, by an independent certified public accountant who (x) is a member of a nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm which has previous experience in reviewing financial operating records of landlords of comparable buildings, (y) is not working 

EXHIBIT C-4

151177627 v8 

 

on a contingency fee basis and (z) shall be mutually selected by Landlord and Tenant (the “Accountant”); provided that if such determination by the Accountant proves that Additional Rent for the applicable Expense Year were overstated by more than five percent (5%), then the cost of the Accountant and the cost of such determination shall be paid for by Landlord.  In addition, if such audit reveals that Landlord has over-charged Tenant, then within thirty (30) days after the results of such audit are made available to Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse to Tenant the amount of such over-charge.  If the audit reveals that the Tenant was under-charged, then within thirty (30) days after the results of such audit are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord the amount of such under-charge.  Tenant agrees that this Section 7 shall be the sole method to be used by Tenant to dispute the amount of any Common Area Maintenance Costs, Taxes and Insurance payable or not payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms of the Lease, and Tenant hereby waives any other rights at law or in equity relating thereto.

within five (5) Business Days after delivery to Landlord.  In the event Landlord fails to respond within such five (5) Business Day period, Tenant shall send a reminder notice to Landlord and Landlord’s failure to respond to the reminder notice within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof shall be deemed approval by Landlord.  Tenant and Architect shall verify, in the field, the dimensions and conditions as shown on the relevant portions of the base building plans, and Tenant and Architect shall be solely responsible for the same, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith.  Landlord’s review of the Construction Drawings as set forth in this Section 3, shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord’s review of the same, or 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.

3.2Final Space Plan.  Tenant shall supply Landlord with four (4) copies signed by Tenant of its final space plan for the Premises before any architectural working drawings or engineering drawings have been commenced.

Landlord may request clarification or more specific drawings for special use items not included in the Final Space Plan.  Landlord shall reasonably advise Tenant within five (5) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of the Final Space Plan for the Premises if the same is unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect and the manner in which the Final Space Plan is unsatisfactory or incomplete.  If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall promptly (i) cause the Final Space Plan to be revised to correct any deficiencies or other matters Landlord may reasonably require, and (ii) deliver such revised Final Space Plan to Landlord.  In the event Landlord fails to respond within such five (5) Business Day period, Tenant shall send a reminder notice to Landlord and Landlord’s failure to respond to the reminder notice within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof shall be deemed approval by Landlord.

3.3Final Working Drawings.  After the Final Space Plan has been approved by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall promptly cause the Architect and the Engineers to complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Premises, and cause the Architect to compile a fully coordinated set of architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing working drawings in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits for the Tenant Improvements (collectively, the “Final Working Drawings”), and shall submit the same to Landlord for Landlord’s approval.  Tenant shall supply Landlord with four (4) copies signed by Tenant of such Final Working Drawings.  Landlord shall reasonably advise Tenant within five (5) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of the Final Working Drawings for the Premises if the same is unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect and the manner in which the Final Working Drawings is unsatisfactory or incomplete.  If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall promptly (i) revise the Final Working Drawings in accordance with such review and any disapproval of Landlord in connection therewith, and (ii) deliver such revised Final Working Drawings to Landlord.  In the event Landlord fails to respond within such five (5) Business Day period, Tenant shall send a reminder notice to Landlord and Landlord’s failure to respond to the reminder notice within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof shall be deemed approval by Landlord.

Tenant hereby agrees that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s consultants shall be responsible for obtaining any building permit or certificate of occupancy for the Tenant Improvements and that obtaining the same shall be Tenant’s responsibility; provided, however, that 

EXHIBIT D-5

151177627 v8 

 

Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in executing permit applications and performing other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to obtain any such permit or certificate of occupancy.  No changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Working Drawings may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided that Landlord may withhold its consent, in its sole discretion, to any change in the Approved Working Drawings, if such change would result in an Over Allowance Amount (as defined below), and Tenant does not agree in writing to pay such Over Allowance Amount.

3.5Changes to the Approved Working Drawings.  Any changes to the Approved Working Drawings (each, a “Change”) shall be requested and instituted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.5 and shall be subject to the written approval of the non-requesting party in accordance with this Work Letter.

3.5.1Change Request.  Either Landlord or Tenant may request Changes after Landlord approves the Final Working Drawings by notifying the other party thereof in writing in substantially the same form as the AIA standard change order form (a “Change Request”), which Change Request shall detail the nature and extent of any requested Changes and any modification of the Approved Working Drawings, as applicable, necessitated by the Change.  If the nature of a Change requires revisions to the Approved Working Drawings, then the requesting party shall be solely responsible for the cost and expense of such revisions and any increases in the cost of the Tenant Improvements as a result of such Change.  Change Requests shall be signed by the requesting party’s representative as set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 herein.  Landlord shall only request a Change if it reasonably believes that such Change is necessary to comply with applicable Laws or to prevent a material adverse impact on the Building’s Systems; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be responsible for the cost and expense of such revision and/or any increase in the cost of the Tenant Improvements as a result of such Change.

3.5.2Approval of Changes.  All Change Requests shall be subject to the other party’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  The non-requesting party shall have three (3) Business Days after receipt of a Change Request to notify the requesting party in writing of the non-requesting party’s decision either to approve or object to the Change Request.  If the non-requesting party fails to respond within such three (3) Business Day period, the requesting party shall send a reminder notice and the non-requesting party’s failure to respond to the reminder notice within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof shall be deemed approval by the non-requesting party.

section 4

CONSTRUCTION OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

4.1Tenant’s Selection of Contractor and Tenant’s Agents.

4.1.1The Contractor.  A general contractor shall be retained by Tenant to construct the Tenant Improvements.  Such general contractor (“Contractor”) shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be granted or denied within three (3) Business Days upon request.  Landlord’s failure to respond within such three (3) Business Day period shall be deemed approval by Landlord.

4.1.2Tenant’s Agents.  A list of 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 provided to the Landlord, which Tenant’s Agents shall all be licensed, in good standing and have a first-class reputation in their respective area of expertise.  In any 

EXHIBIT D-6

151177627 v8 

 

event, Tenant must contract with Landlord’s base building subcontractors for any mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life safety, structural, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning work in the Premises.  Tenant’s Agents shall all be union labor in compliance with the master labor agreements existing between trade unions and the local chapter of the Associated General Contractors of America.

4.2Construction of Tenant Improvements by Tenant’s Agents.

4.2.1Cost Budget.  Prior to the commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and after Tenant has accepted all bids for the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written detailed cost breakdown (the “Final Costs Statement”), by trade, of the final costs to be incurred, or which have been incurred, as set forth more particularly in Section 2.2.1.1 through 2.2.1.8 above, in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements to be performed by or at the direction of Tenant or the Contractor (which costs form a basis for the amount of the construction contract with the Contractor, if any (the “Final Costs”).  Tenant shall be responsible for all the Final Costs, and Tenant shall pay all such costs directly to the Contractor or other party requesting payment as and when due, provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall be construed to waive Tenant’s right to receive the Tenant Improvement Allowance, the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance, the HVAC Allowance or the Roof Allowance.  In addition, to the extent the Final Costs exceed the Tenant Improvement Allowance and the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance (“Over Allowance Amount”), Tenant shall pay, concurrently with each disbursement by Landlord pursuant to Section 2.2.2, a pari passu portion of the Tenant Improvement costs subject to such request, equal to the ratio obtained by dividing the Over Allowance Amount by the Final Costs (“Pro Rata Share”), multiplied by portion of the Tenant Improvement costs subject to such request. For purposes of illustration only, if the Final Costs are $500,000, the total allowance payable by Landlord (i.e., the Tenant Improvement Allowance and the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance) is $250,000, and the applicable bills and invoices submitted to Landlord for a disbursement pursuant to Section 2.2.2 is $100,000, Landlord would disburse $50,000 ($250,000/$500,000 x $100,000), and Tenant would pay the remaining $50,000.  In the event that, after the Final Costs have been delivered by Landlord to Tenant, the costs relating to the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements shall change, any additional costs necessary to such design and construction in excess of the Final Costs shall, to the extent they exceed the remaining balance of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, be paid by Tenant to Landlord in the same method as the payment by Tenant of the Over-Allowance Amount set forth herein.

4.2.2Tenant’s Agents.

4.2.2.1Landlord’s General Conditions for Tenant’s Agents and Tenant Improvement Work.  Tenant’s and Tenant’s Agents’ construction of the Tenant Improvements shall comply with the following:  (i) the Tenant Improvements shall be constructed in strict accordance with the Approved Working Drawings; (ii) Tenant’s Agents shall submit schedules of all work relating to the Tenant’s Improvements to Contractor and Contractor shall, within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof, inform Tenant’s Agents of any changes which are necessary thereto, and Tenant’s Agents shall use commercially reasonable efforts to adhere to such corrected schedule; and (iii) Tenant shall abide by all reasonable rules made and provided to Tenant in writing by Landlord’s Building contractor or Landlord’s Building manager with respect to the use of freight, loading dock and service elevators (provided that such rules shall not include additional charge for the use of freight, loading dock and service elevators or storage of materials), storage of materials, coordination of work with the contractors of other tenants, and any other matter in connection with this Work Letter, including, without limitation, the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

4.2.2.2Coordination Fee.  Tenant shall pay a logistical coordination fee (the “Coordination Fee”) to Landlord in an amount equal to the product of (i) one percent (1%), and (ii) the 

EXHIBIT D-7

151177627 v8 

 

sum of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, the Over Allowance Amount, as such amount may be increased hereunder, and any other amounts expended by Tenant in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements, which Coordination Fee shall be for services relating to the coordination of the construction of the Tenant Improvements.  In addition to the Coordination Fee and other amounts payable by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for reasonable amounts paid by Landlord in connection with the review of Tenant’s plans and drawings as referenced in Section 3 above, which amounts shall be charged against the Tenant Improvement Allowance.

4.2.2.3Indemnity.  Tenant’s indemnity of Landlord as set forth in the Lease shall also apply with respect to any and all costs, losses, damages, injuries and liabilities related in any way to any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or in connection with Tenant’s non‐payment of any amount arising out of the Tenant Improvements and/or Tenant’s disapproval of all or any portion of any request for payment.  Such indemnity by Tenant, as set forth in the Lease, shall also apply with respect to any and all costs, losses, damages, injuries and liabilities related in any way to Landlord’s performance of  any ministerial acts reasonably necessary (i) to permit Tenant to complete the Tenant Improvements, and (ii) to enable Tenant to obtain any building permit or certificate of occupancy for the Premises; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Work Letter shall be deemed to indemnify Landlord from or against liability caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct.

4.2.2.4Insurance Requirements. 

4.2.2.4.1General Coverages.  All of Tenant’s Agents shall carry worker’s compensation insurance covering all of their respective employees, and shall also carry commercial general liability insurance, and such other coverages as are required in Exhibit I to the Lease, all with limits, in form and with companies as are required to be carried under Exhibit I to  the Lease.

4.2.2.4.2Special Coverages.  Tenant shall carry “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and such other insurance as Landlord may require, it being understood and agreed that the Tenant Improvements shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to the Lease immediately upon completion thereof.  Such insurance shall be in amounts and shall include such extended coverage endorsements as may be reasonably required by Landlord, and in form and with companies as are required to be carried by Tenant as set forth in the Lease.

4.2.2.4.3General Terms.

In the event that the Tenant Improvements are damaged by any cause during the course of the construction thereof, Tenant shall immediately repair the same at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.  All policies carried under this Section 4.2.2.4 shall insure Landlord and Tenant, as their interests may appear, as well as Contractor and Tenant’s Agents, and shall name as additional insureds all Landlord Parties (as defined in the Lease).  All insurance maintained by Tenant’s Agents shall preclude subrogation claims by the insurer against anyone insured thereunder.  Such insurance shall provide that it is primary insurance as respects the Landlord Parties and that any other insurance maintained by Landlord Parties is excess and noncontributing with the insurance required hereunder.  The requirements for the foregoing insurance shall not derogate from the provisions for indemnification of Landlord by Tenant under Section 4.2.2.3 of this Work Letter. 

EXHIBIT D-8

151177627 v8 

 

4.2.3Governmental Compliance.

Should Landlord disapprove any portion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of such disapproval and shall specify the items disapproved.  Any defects or deviations in, and/or disapproval by Landlord of, the Tenant Improvements shall be rectified by Tenant at no expense to Landlord, provided however, that in the event Landlord determines that a defect or deviation exists or disapproves of any matter in connection with any portion of the Tenant Improvements and such defect, deviation or matter might adversely affect the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning or life safety systems of the Building, the structure or exterior appearance of the Building or any other tenant’s use of such other tenant’s leased premises, and Tenant fails to commence to remedy the same within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s written notice thereof or fails to diligently execute to completion, Landlord may, take such action as Landlord deems reasonably necessary, at Tenant’s expense and without incurring any liability on Landlord’s part, to correct any such defect, deviation and/or matter, including, without limitation, causing the cessation of performance of the construction of the Tenant Improvements until such time as the defect, deviation and/or matter is corrected to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction.

Commencing upon the execution of the Lease, Tenant shall hold weekly meetings at a reasonable time, with the Architect and the Contractor regarding the progress of the preparation of Construction Drawings and the construction of the Tenant Improvements, which meetings shall be held at the Premises (unless otherwise notified by Tenant to Landlord in writing), and Landlord and/or its agents shall receive prior notice of, and shall have the right to attend, all such meetings, and, upon Landlord’s reasonable request, certain of Tenant’s Agents shall attend such meetings.  In addition, minutes shall be taken at all such meetings, a copy of which minutes shall be promptly delivered to Landlord.  One such meeting each month shall include the review of Contractor’s current request for payment.

In addition, if the Lease is terminated prior to the Commencement Date, for any reason due to an Event of Default by Tenant as described in Section 17 of the Lease or under this Work Letter, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under the Lease, at law and/or in equity, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent under the Lease, within five (5) days of receipt of a statement therefor, any and all reasonable costs (if any) incurred by Landlord (including any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance disbursed by Landlord) and not reimbursed or otherwise paid by Tenant through the date of such termination in connection with the Tenant Improvements to the extent planned, installed and/or constructed as of such date of termination, including, but not limited to, any costs related to the removal of all or any portion of the Tenant Improvements and restoration costs related thereto.

EXHIBIT D-10

151177627 v8 

 

Landlord Caused Delay actually causes the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements to occur after December 1, 2018.  As used in this Work Letter, “Landlord Caused Delay” shall mean delays to the extent resulting from the acts or omissions of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, including, but not limited to: (i) failure of Landlord to timely approve or disapprove any Construction Drawings or any other matter that requires Landlord’s approval within the time periods set forth in this Work Letter; (ii) material and unreasonable interference by Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors with construction of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, interference relating to access by Tenant, or Tenant’s Agents to the Building or service; or (iii) delays due to the acts or failures to act of Landlord with respect to the payment of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance and/or HVAC Allowance (except as otherwise allowed under this Work Letter).

No Landlord Caused Delay shall be deemed to have occurred unless and until Tenant has provided written notice to Landlord specifying the action or inaction that Tenant contends constitutes a Landlord Caused Delay.  If such action or inaction is not cured within one (1) Business Day after receipt of such notice, then a Landlord Caused Delay shall be deemed to have occurred commencing as of the date such notice is received and continuing for the number of days the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements was in fact delayed as a direct result of such action or inaction.

RENEWAL OPTION

If Tenant has not committed a default (which is not cured by the time Tenant exercises its option to renew), and Tenant is occupying the entire Premises at the time of such election (provided that Tenant shall be deemed to occupy the entire Premises even if a portion of the Premises is occupied by a Permitted Transferee), Tenant may renew this Lease for two (2) additional period(s) of five (5) years each, by delivering written notice of the exercise thereof to Landlord not earlier than fifteen (15) months nor later than nine (9) months before the expiration of the then-current Term (“Tenant’s Election Notice”).  Any extension of the Term shall be on all the same terms and conditions as this Lease, except as expressly set forth herein. The Base Rent payable for each month during such extended Term shall be equal to ninety percent (90%) of the prevailing rental rate (the “Prevailing Rental Rate”), at the commencement of such extended Term, for renewals of space in the Complex and in comparable buildings with comparable life science tenant(s) and comparable build-out (containing the systems and improvements present in the Premises including similar concentration of lab space) located within North San Mateo County, California, of equivalent quality, size, utility, age, level of finish, proximity to amenities and public transit, and location, with the length of the extended Term, any concessions offered to new tenants, (such as free rent, tenant improvement allowances and moving allowances), whether or not there will be a charge for parking, and the credit standing of Tenant to be taken into account (such factors, the “Relevant Factors”).  Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant’s Election Notice, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice of the Prevailing Rental Rate and shall advise Tenant of the required adjustment to Base Rent, if any.  Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice, notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant accepts or rejects Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate.  If Tenant timely notifies Landlord that Tenant accepts Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate, then, on or before the commencement date of the extended Term, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease extending the Term on the same terms provided in this Lease, except as follows:

(a)Base Rent and the annual increase shall be adjusted to the Prevailing Rental Rate;

(b)Tenant shall have no further renewal option after exercising the second renewal option unless expressly granted by Landlord in writing; and

(c)Landlord shall lease to Tenant the Premises in their then-current condition, and Landlord shall not provide to Tenant any allowances (e.g., moving allowance, construction allowance, and the like) or other tenant inducements.

If by the date thirty (30) days following delivery of Tenant’s Election Notice, Landlord and Tenant have not agreed in writing as to the amount of the Base Rent, the parties shall determine the projected Prevailing Rental Rate in accordance with the following procedure (which procedure is herein referred to as the “Three-Appraiser Method”).  Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one (1) real estate appraiser, and the two (2) so appointed shall select a third.  Said real estate appraisers shall each be licensed in the state in which the Premises is located, specializing in the field of commercial real estate in North San Mateo County, California, having no less than ten (10) years’ experience in such field, unaffiliated with either Landlord or Tenant and recognized as ethical and reputable within their field.  Landlord and Tenant agree to make their appointments promptly within ten (10) days after expiration of the thirty (30) day negotiation period, or sooner if mutually agreed upon.  The two (2) appraisers selected by Landlord and Tenant shall promptly select a third appraiser within fifteen (15) days after they both have been appointed, and each appraiser, within fifteen (15) days after the third appraiser is selected, shall submit his or her determination of the then projected Prevailing Rental Rate after taking into account all the Relevant Factors.  Such third appraiser shall choose one of the two (2) Prevailing Rental Rates submitted by the parties which most closely represents the projected prevailing market rate after taking into account all the Relevant Factors.  

EXHIBIT H-1

151177627 v8 

 

Such Prevailing Rental Rate chosen by the appraiser shall be final and binding upon the parties.  If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser within the time period specified in this paragraph, the appraiser appointed by one of them shall reach a decision, notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such appraiser’s decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.  Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by or on behalf of it, and each shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the third appraiser.

Parties shall confirm the parties’ acceptance of the determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate by executing an amendment to this Lease memorializing the same within ten (10) days of such determination (herein the “Extension Amendment”).  Failure to execute and deliver the Extension Amendment within such 10-day period shall not affect the enforceability of the extension exercised by Tenant.

Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, at Landlord’s option, and in addition to all of Landlord’s remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity, the right to extend the Term of this Lease hereinabove granted to Tenant shall not be deemed to be properly exercised if, as of the date Tenant exercises its extension right or on the scheduled commencement date for the applicable option term, Tenant is in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period.  Further, Tenant’s rights under this Exhibit shall terminate if (1) this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises is terminated, (2) Tenant assigns any of its interest in this Lease or sublets any portion of the Premises to any party other than a Permitted Transferee, or (3) Tenant fails to timely exercise its option under this Exhibit, time being of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise thereof.

CONTRACTOR INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

I-1.The following defined terms apply for purposes of this Exhibit. Other capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit will have the meanings given to such terms in the Lease to which this Exhibit is attached. “Work” means the applicable work to be performed at the Premises, and to which the requirements of this Exhibit relate pursuant to the Lease. “Contractor” means Tenant’s general contractor with respect to the Work. “Subcontractors” means any person retained by the Contractor as an independent contractor to provide labor, materials, equipment, or services necessary to complete a specific portion of the Work, and their sub-subcontractors of every tier. “Landlord Parties” means Landlord; Landlord’s property manager with respect to the Premises; Landlord’s Mortgagee; other entities or individuals Landlord may designate from time to time to be included as additional insureds (e.g., by requiring that they be listed as additional insureds on certificates of insurance); the successors and assigns, and direct and indirect affiliates, of each of the foregoing; and, with respect to each of the foregoing, its shareholders, trustees, beneficiaries, managers, officers, directors, employees, and agents. 

 

I-2.Tenant shall require its Contractor to maintain insurance that satisfies the following requirements (except Landlord may reasonably adjust the minimum limits provided herein from time to time time): 

	
(a)
	
Commercial general liability insurance on the current ISO CG 00 01 form or an equivalent occurrence form that (i) has limits of not less than the greater of (A) $1,000,000 each occurrence, $1,000,000 personal and advertising injury, $2,000,000 general aggregate (per-project), and $2,000,000 products-completed operations aggregate and (B) the limits the Contractor actually carries, and (ii) includes the Landlord Parties as additional insureds on a primary and noncontributing basis, providing them with coverage at least as broad as that given to the named insured. The Contractor shall maintain its products-completed operations coverage for at least five years after completion of the Work, and shall include the Landlord Parties as additional insureds on a primary and non-contributing basis during this period. 

	
(b)
	
Business auto insurance covering any auto (including owned, hired, and non-owned autos), with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 each accident. 

	
(c)
	
Workers compensation and employers liability insurance for all persons that perform Work for the Contractor. The workers compensation insurance must fulfill applicable statutory requirements. The employers liability insurance must have limits of not less than $1,000,000 each accident, $1,000,000 each employee, and $1,000,000 policy limit. 

	
(d)
	
Commercial excess or umbrella liability insurance on a “follow form” basis, with a limit of not less than $10,000,000 each occurrence and annual aggregate. This insurance must provide that aggregate limits of liability apply separately with respect to the Work. Notwithstanding the specified minimum limits in this Section I-2 for primary commercial general liability, business auto, and employers liability insurance and the separate specified minimum limit for commercial excess or umbrella liability insurance, in each case this Section I-2 is to be construed as requiring only the combined primary and excess/umbrella minimum limit and that combined minimum limit may be achieved with any combination of primary and excess or umbrella insurance. 

	
(e)
	
Professional liability insurance, if the Work includes any professional services (including any design-build component of the Work), with limits of not less than $1,000,000 each claim and 

EXHIBIT I-1

151177627 v8 

 

		
$1,000,000 annual aggregate. If the Contractor performs the professional services, then it shall carry this insurance; if a Subcontractor performs the services, then Contractor shall require the Subcontractor to carry this insurance. 

	
(f)
	
Property insurance for job trailers, machinery, tools, equipment, property of a similar nature owned or leased by the Contractor or Subcontractors and not destined to become a part of the completed construction, and the Contractor must waive, and require its Subcontractors (including lessors of equipment) to waive, all claims against the Landlord Parties for loss or damage to these items, regardless of the cause.

 

I-3.Tenant shall require the Contractor to waive all rights against the Landlord Parties to the extent any damage is covered by insurance maintained by the Contractor, or is attributable to any deductible or self-insured retention relating to insurance maintained by the Contractor, and shall ensure that its policies permit this waiver of subrogation by endorsement or otherwise.

 

I-4.Tenant shall require the Contractor, by written agreement, to require its Subcontractors to maintain the insurance and make the waivers required of the Contractor in this Exhibit, except that with respect to Subcontractors’ insurance Tenant may permit its Contractor, with Landlord’s consent, to reduce or waive the commercial excess or umbrella liability insurance requirement in circumstances where such reduction or waiver for that Subcontractor (given its scope of Work) is commercially reasonable and customary. Tenant shall require the Contractor to obtain certificates of insurance from its Subcontractors evidencing the insurance required under this Exhibit.

 

I-5.All insurance policies required under this Exhibit must be issued by reputable, financially sound companies that have an A.M. Best rating of A- VIII or better. Before commencement of the Work, Tenant shall require the Contractor to provide to Landlord a certificate of insurance evidencing the required insurance and, if requested, the Contractor’s additional insured endorsement. Tenant shall require the Contractor to provide an updated certificate of insurance before the expiration of the term of any required coverage, and otherwise upon request. Tenant shall require all policies of insurance required under this Exhibit to contain a provision that the company writing said policy will give Landlord 30’ days’ prior written notice of any cancellation or lapse of the effective date or any reduction in the amounts of such insurance. Tenant shall require the Contractor to provide copies of policies required under this Exhibit if requested.

ROFO AGREEMENT

THIS RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into this ____ day of _____________, 2017, by and between MARINA BOULEVARD Property, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Owner”), and SANGAMO THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Offeree”).  Owner and Offeree are sometimes hereinafter individually or collectively called a “Party” or the “Parties”.

RECITALS

A.Offeree has leased from Owner pursuant to that certain Lease Agreement dated November 3, 2017 between Offeror and Offeree (“Lease”) certain real property located in the City of Brisbane, State of California, which is more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and the improvements located thereon (collectively, the “Property”).

B.As an inducement to Offeree to execute the Lease, Owner has agreed not to “Transfer” (as defined below) the Property to a third party during the period commencing on the Commencement Date and expiring on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Commencement Date (“ROFO Period”) without first providing Offeree with a right of first offer (“ROFO”) to purchase the Property, subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit M to the Lease.

C.This Agreement is subject and subordinate to any Deed of Trust now or hereafter existing on the Property.

D.Initially capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning set forth in the Lease. 

E.Any sale shall be subject to compliance with the California Subdivision Map Act to create a separate legal parcel for the Building. 

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other valuable consideration, the receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, Owner hereby grants to Offeree a right of first offer for the Property as follows:

Section 1.Grant of Right of First Offer.

1.1.Transfer.  During the ROFO Period, Owner shall not Transfer (as hereinafter defined) its fee interest in the Property (hereinafter, the “Premises”) except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit M to the Lease.

(a)Procedure.  Owner shall give notice to Offeree (the “Offer Notice”) when Owner desires to Transfer the Premises to a third party (i.e., whether or not Owner has received a third party offer it elects to pursue).  The Offer Notice shall describe Owner’s proposed Transfer and all of the economic and non-economic terms and conditions applicable to Offeree’s purchase of the Premises.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “economic terms” shall be defined to mean only those economic terms that are to be accounted for on a final escrow closing/settlement statement.  The “non-economic terms” shall be on terms as set forth in the form purchase and sale agreement (“Purchase 

EXHIBIT M-1-1

151177627 v8 

 

 

Agreement”) to be agreed upon by the parties hereto in their commercially reasonable determination (collectively, the “Offer Terms”).

(b)Procedure for Acceptance.  Within ten (10) business days after delivery of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Election Date”), Offeree shall deliver written notice to Owner (“Offeree’s Election Notice”) pursuant to which Offeree shall elect either to (i) purchase the Premises pursuant to the Offer Terms set forth in the Offer Notice, or (ii) decline to purchase the Premises, in which event this Agreement and the ROFO set forth herein and in the Lease shall thereupon terminate and be of no further force or effect (unless reinstated pursuant to the below described terms).  In the event Offeree elects to purchase the Premises, Offeree shall deliver with Offeree’s Election Notice to Owner a signed Purchase Agreement with the Offer Terms set forth.  If Offeree does not so respond in writing to Owner’s Offer Notice by the Offer Election Date, Offeree shall be irrevocably deemed to have elected the option described in clause (ii) above, in which event Offeree’s ROFO set forth herein and in the Lease shall thereupon terminate, subject to reinstatement pursuant to Section 1.2 below.

(c)Owner’s Response.  If Offeree elects to purchase the Premises, then within five (5) business days after receipt of Offeree’s Election Notice, Owner shall return to Offeree and Escrow Holder as identified in the Purchase Agreement a signed counterpart of the Purchase Agreement with the Offer Terms incorporated therein.  If the parties have not mutually executed and delivered the Purchase Agreement within thirty (30) days following Offeree’s Election Notice, or if Offeree does not elect to purchase the Premises, Owner may, at its election, and subject to the terms of this paragraph, during the twelve (12) month period following the date of the Offer Notice, enter into a letter of intent or purchase and sale agreement to sell and thereby Transfer the Premises described in the Offer Notice to any entity at such economic and non-economic terms as are acceptable to Owner and such third party purchaser without any Material Modification (as described in Section 1.2 below) to the Offer Terms.  If Owner does not Transfer the Premises described in the Offer Notice within the above described twelve (12) month period (and subject to Section 1.2 below), then Owner shall submit to Offeree a new Offer Notice with respect to the Premises prior to selling the Premises upon terms and conditions set forth in the new Offer Notice.

(i)Nothing herein shall prevent or restrict Offeree from making a subsequent offer for the Premises or from participating as a bidder in Owner’s marketing of the Premises.  Owner shall use its reasonable efforts, without any liability for failure to do so, to furnish Offeree with the marketing information related to the Premises.

1.2.Material Modification.  For purposes of this Agreement, a Material Modification shall mean any decrease of more than ten percent (10%) in the economic terms (or change in cost allocations of the Purchase Agreement that would have the same effect).  If the Owner’s proposed Transfer is at economic terms of ninety percent (90%) or more than proposed Offer Terms to Offeree set forth in the Offer Notice, Owner shall have no obligation to submit such Transfer to Offeree.  If Owner desires to Transfer and such Transfer contains a Material Modification, then prior to execution of a letter of intent or purchase and sale agreement, whichever occurs first, Owner shall provide Offeree with a written notice of the revised economic terms.  Offeree shall have five (5) business days to accept such revised terms by written notice to Owner.  Five (5) business days shall mean by 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the fifth (5th) business day following the submission of such revised economic terms to Offeree.  

1.3.Termination of Right of First Offer.  If pursuant to this Agreement Owner completes the Transfer of the Premises described in the Offer Notice to a third party, then this Agreement and the ROFO set forth in the Lease shall terminate as to the Premises described in the Offer Notice.  This Agreement shall also terminate if Offeree fails to close the purchase pursuant to the Purchase Agreement executed by Offeree and Owner, unless excused thereunder including as a result of Owner’s default.

EXHIBIT M-1-2

151177627 v8 

 

 

Section 2.Transfer Defined.  As used in this Agreement, the term “transfer” or “Transfer” shall be defined to mean any sale, or other conveyance of fee title, in the Premises to a third party.

Section 3.Assignment.  Offeree and Owner may not voluntarily or by operation of law assign or transfer any right, interest or obligation hereunder without the other party’s express prior written consent, which consent may be given or withheld in such party’s sole discretion for any reason whatsoever.  

Section 4.Notices.  Any notice which a Party is required or may desire to give another Party shall be in writing and may be delivered (1) personally, (2) by United States registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or (3) by Federal Express or other reputable courier service regularly providing evidence of delivery (with charges paid by the Party sending the notice).  Any such notice to a Party shall be addressed at the address set forth below (subject to the right of a Party to designate a different address for itself by notice similarly given).  Service of any such notice or other communications so made shall be deemed effective on the day of actual delivery (whether accepted or refused), as shown by the addressee’s return receipt if by certified mail, and as confirmed by the courier service if by courier; provided, however, that if such actual delivery occurs after 5:00 p.m.  (local time where received) or on a non-business day, then such notice or demand so made shall be deemed effective on the first business day after the day of actual delivery.  Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, no communications via facsimile or electronic mail shall be effective to give any notice, request, direction, demand, consent, waiver, approval or other communications hereunder.  The Parties’ addresses for notices are as follows:
