Any failure of the parties to execute such Suite 420 Declaration shall not affect the validity of the Suite 420 Commencement Date as determined in accordance with this Section.

 

 

(c)                                  The term of the Sublease with respect to the Suite 450 Sublease Premises (the “Suite 450 Term” and, together with the Suite 420 Term, the “Term”) shall commence on the later of (i) the receipt of Prime Landlord’s Consent, (ii) September 1, 2014 or (iii) upon Sublandlord’s move out of Suite 450 (the “Suite 450 Commencement Date” and, together with the Suite 420 Commencement Date, the “Commencement Date”), and shall expire on the Expiration Date, unless the Suite 450 Term shall sooner terminate pursuant to the terms of this Sublease.

If Subtenant elects to terminate the Sublease pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Sublandlord shall pay to Subtenant in cash the amount of the credit accrued against the Base Rent through January 31, 2015 in the table above to the extent not already applied by Sublandlord against the Base Rent. At Sublandlord’s request, promptly after the Suite 450 Commencement Date is ascertained, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall execute a written declaration (the “Suite 450 Declaration”) setting forth the Suite 450 Commencement Date and the date upon which the term of this Sublease will expire. Any failure of the parties to execute such Suite 450 Declaration shall not affect the validity of the Suite 450 Commencement Date as determined in accordance with this Section. SUBTENANT HEREBY WAIVES THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 1933 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME.

(a)                                 It is understood that Sublandlord is a sublandlord and that Sublandlord grants this Sublease under and by virtue of its rights under the Prime Lease and that this Sublease is subordinate and subject to the Prime Lease. Except as set forth below, the provisions of the Prime Lease are incorporated herein by reference, and made a part hereof, except that: (i) each reference in such incorporated sections to “Lease” shall be deemed a reference to this “Sublease”; (ii) each reference to the “Premises” shall be deemed a reference to the “Subleased Premises”; (iii) each reference to “Landlord” shall be deemed a reference to “Sublandlord” and each reference to “Tenant” shall be deemed a reference to “Subtenant”, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein; (iv) with respect to work, services, utilities, electricity, repairs (including, without limitation, repairs of any damage caused by Prime Landlord), restoration, insurance, indemnities, reimbursements, title, representations, warranties, covenants or the performance of any other obligation of the “Landlord” under the Prime Lease, whether or not incorporated herein, (A) reference to “Landlord” shall be deemed a reference solely to Landlord, and (B) the sole obligation of Sublandlord shall be to request the same in writing from Prime Landlord as and when requested to do so by Subtenant, and to use Sublandlord’s reasonable efforts (not including the payment of money or the incurring of any liabilities) to obtain Prime Landlord’s performance (provided, however, that Sublandlord shall not be required to institute any legal proceedings against Prime Landlord unless Subtenant pays all costs, and indemnifies, defends and holds Sublandlord harmless against all losses, costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees), claims, liabilities and damages, in connection therewith); (v) with respect to any obligation of Subtenant to be performed under this Sublease, wherever the Prime Lease grants to the “Tenant” a specified number of days to perform its obligations under the Prime Lease (including, without limitation, curing any defaults), Subtenant shall have three (3) fewer calendar days (or such lesser time as may be provided in this Sublease) to perform the obligation, but in no case shall Subtenant have less than three (3) business days to perform the obligation; (vi) with respect to any approval or consent required to be obtained from the “Landlord” under the Prime Lease, such approval or consent must be obtained from both Prime Landlord and Sublandlord, and Sublandlord’s withholding of approval or consent shall in all events be deemed reasonable if for any reason Prime Landlord’s approval or consent is not obtained, and if Prime Landlord’s approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned and/or delayed under the Prime Lease, then Sublandlord’s consent shall likewise not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned and/or delayed, as the case may be; (vii) in any case where the “Landlord” reserves or is granted the right to manage, supervise, control, repair, alter, regulate the use of, enter or use the Premises or any areas beneath, above or adjacent thereto, such reservation or grant of right of entry shall be

 

3

 

deemed to be for the benefit of both Prime Landlord and Sublandlord; (viii) in any case where “Tenant” is to indemnify, release or waive claims against “Landlord”, such indemnity, release or waiver shall be deemed to run from Subtenant to both Prime Landlord and Sublandlord; (ix) in any case where “Tenant” is to execute and deliver certain documents or notices to “Landlord”, such obligation shall be deemed to run from Subtenant to both Prime Landlord and Sublandlord; (x) all payments shall be made to Sublandlord, except as otherwise expressly required by the Prime Lease or Prime Landlord’s Consent; (xi) Subtenant shall pay all consent and review fees described in the Prime Lease; (xii) Subtenant shall not have the right to terminate this Sublease as to any or all of the Subleased Premises due to casualty or condemnation unless Sublandlord has such right (and opts to exercise such right) under the Prime Lease; and (xiii) the following provisions of the Prime Lease are not incorporated herein:  Section 2.1; Section 2.2; Section 2.3; Section 2.4; Section 2.5; Section 2.6; Section 2.8; Section 2.10; Section 3; Section 4; Section 7.1; Section 8; Section 11; Section 12.1; Section 33; Section 41; Section 42; Exhibit A; Exhibit B; Exhibit D; and Exhibit F; and with respect to the First Amendment: Section 3; Section 5; Section 6; Section 8; Section 9; Section 10; Section 11; Section 12; Section 13; Section 15; and any other provisions that are contrary to the terms of this Sublease.  For purposes of this Sublease, all references to “Prime Lease” hereunder shall refer to the Prime Lease, excluding those Sections set forth in Section 2(a)(xiii).  As between Sublandlord and Subtenant, the provisions of Section 35.1 shall not apply, but shall apply as between Sublandlord and Prime Landlord, and Subtenant and Prime Landlord.

 

Subtenant expressly assumes and agrees to comply with all provisions of the Prime Lease and perform all of the obligations on the part of the “Tenant” to be performed under the Prime Lease (except where such obligation arises by reason of a (i) breach of Sublandlord under this Sublease, or (ii) breach of Sublandlord under the Prime Lease (other than a breach of the Prime Lease caused by Subtenant’s breach of its obligations under this Sublease)).  In the event that the Prime Lease is terminated for any reason whatsoever, then subject to the provisions of, and Prime Landlord’s rights under the Prime Lease, this Sublease shall terminate simultaneously with such termination without any liability of Sublandlord to Subtenant.  Subject to Subtenant’s performance of its obligations under this Sublease, Sublandlord shall not default in its monetary obligations under the Prime Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure period).

 

(b)                                 During the term of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall promptly deliver to Subtenant copies of any and all notices of default delivered to or received from Prime Landlord.

 

(c)                                  Sublandlord hereby warrants and represents to Subtenant that (i) the Prime Lease is in full force and effect and Sublandlord has not received any notice of default thereunder from Prime Landlord which remains uncured as of the date hereof, and (ii) to Sublandlord’s knowledge, neither Sublandlord or Prime Landlord is in default under the Prime Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure period), and there are no circumstances which with the giving of notice or passage of time would give rise to a default under the Prime Lease.

The Suite 420 Base Rent and the Suite 450 Base Rent shall each escalate by three percent (3%) annually (on the anniversary of each applicable Commencement Date after the first year) through the end of the Term and including January 31, 2017. Each such monthly installment shall be paid in advance on or before the first of every month throughout the Term; provided, however, that Subtenant shall pay the first full monthly installment of Suite 420 Base Rent simultaneously with its execution of this Sublease.

 

For purposes of interpreting this Sublease and the Prime Lease, the term “Base Rent” shall mean: (a) prior to the Suite 450 Commencement Date, the Suite 420 Base Rent; and (b) from and after the Suite 450 Commencement Date, the Suite 420 Base Rent together with the Suite 450 Base Rent.

 

(b)                                 All amounts, other than Base Rent, payable by Subtenant hereunder are defined as “Additional Rent.” Base Rent and Additional Rent are defined herein collectively as “Rent.” It is agreed that Subtenant shall be required to pay its Share of Operating Expenses (as required of Sublandlord under the Prime Lease), as well as any and all other amounts which become due and payable by Sublandlord to Prime Landlord as additional rent thereunder or otherwise and which would not have been due and payable but for the acts, requests for services and/or failure to act of Subtenant, its agents, officers, contractors, invitees employees or visitors, including without limitation (i) increases in insurance premiums, (ii) fees for review of plans and specifications and (iii) charges for special or after hours services. All Base Rent shall be paid without notice, demand, set off, deduction, or counterclaim of any kind and all Additional Rent shall be paid without demand, set off, or deduction. The obligation of Subtenant to pay Rent, and the obligations of Sublandlord, are independent obligations. The monthly Base Rent for any partial month shall be pro-rated based on a thirty (30) day month. Subtenant shall be responsible for all telecommunications, including phone and internet services, through direct contract with commercial providers of such services.

(c)                                  If Subtenant fails to pay Base Rent or Additional Rent hereunder on or before the fifth (5th) day after such payment is due, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord a late charge of five percent (5%) of the amount of such overdue Base Rent or Additional Rent. In addition, any such late payment shall bear interest from the fifth (5th) day after such payment is due to the date of payment thereof by Subtenant at the rate (the “Default Rate”) of the lesser of 12% per annum or the maximum interest rate allowed by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the first occurrence during any 12 month period that Subtenant fails to make payment on or before the fifth (5th) day after such payment is due, Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant with written notice of such non-payment and a three-day opportunity to cure before a late charge or interest is charged to Subtenant. Subtenant’s obligations to pay such amounts shall survive the expiration or termination of this Sublease. Sublandlord’s acceptance of any interest or late charge shall not waive Subtenant’s default in failing to pay the delinquent amount.

 

(d)                                 Rent shall be paid to Sublandlord in lawful money of the United States of America by good check to the following address:

Sublandlord’s acceptance of late Rent shall not excuse such delay nor any future delays in payment nor constitute a waiver of rights. The provisions of this Section 3(c) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Sublease.

 

4.                                      Nature of Occupancy; Hazardous Materials.

 

Subtenant shall use and occupy the Subleased Premises solely as general office, research, development, laboratory, and other related legal uses subject to Sublandlord’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld (and not for any other purposes) and at all times in compliance with the terms of the Prime Lease and its Rules and Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, Subtenant shall comply with the provisions of Section 21 of the Prime Lease regarding use or storage of Hazardous Materials as defined therein. Subtenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all laws, regulations and ordinances applicable to the Subtenant’s particular use and occupancy of the Subleased Premises.

 

Sublandlord shall not be liable for any damage, injury, claim or loss, directly or indirectly resulting from, nor shall the Rent be abated or a constructive or other eviction be deemed to have occurred by reason of (a) any installation, use or interruption of use of any equipment in connection with furnishing or supplying any services, or (b) any failure or delay in furnishing any services. Any property placed by Subtenant in or about the Subleased Premises shall be at the sole risk of Subtenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Sublandlord actually receives abatement of Rent in accordance with Section 16.2 of the Prime Lease, then Subtenant shall likewise be entitled to a proportional abatement of Rent.

(a)                                 If (i) Subtenant defaults in the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or agreements contained in this Sublease or the Prime Lease and fails to cure the same after five (5) days after the date such payment is due for monetary defaults (provided, that with respect to the first occurrence during any 12 month period that Subtenant fails to make payment on or before the fifth (5th) day after such payment is due, Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant with written notice of such non-payment and a three-day opportunity to cure), and after ten (10) days written notice for non-monetary defaults, regardless of any longer cure periods set forth in the Prime Lease (unless (A) such non-monetary default is a default or causes an “Default” under the Prime Lease for which no cure period is provided in the Prime Lease, or which is designated an “uncurable” Default in the Prime Lease, in which events there shall be no cure period under this Sublease, (B) a lesser cure period is provided in the Prime Lease, in which case the lesser cure period shall apply, and (C) such non-monetary default is not one described in the immediately preceding clauses (A) or (B) and is incapable of being cured within ten (10) days, in which event Subtenant shall have a reasonable period of time if it diligently commences and proceeds to cure the same but not to exceed forty-five (45) days, inclusive of the original ten (10) days), (ii) any other act or omission of Subtenant occurs and constitutes a Default under the Prime Lease or (iii) an insolvency occurs involving Subtenant, then in each such event Sublandlord shall be entitled to invoke against Subtenant the remedies which are available to Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease and any other remedy available at law or equity. Further, anything to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) Subtenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Sublandlord from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, actions, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) (“Claims”) to the extent arising out of Subtenant’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the Subleased Premises and/or breach of this Sublease or the Prime Lease; and (ii) Sublandlord shall indemnify and hold harmless Subtenant from and against any and all Claims to the extent arising out of Sublandlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the Subleased Premises and/or breach of this Sublease or Prime Lease (excluding any breach of the Prime Lease caused by Subtenant’s breach of its obligations under this Sublease).

 

(b)                                 Subtenant hereby expressly waives any notice to quit or vacate which may be otherwise required by law.

 

(c)                                  In the event either party hereto brings or commences legal proceedings to enforce any of the terms of this Sublease, the successful party in such action shall then be entitled to receive and shall receive from the other of said parties, in every such action commenced, a reasonable sum as attorney’s fees and costs, to be fixed by the court in the same action.

 

6.                                      Improvements

 

Subtenant shall not make any improvements, alterations or installations to the Subleased Premises, structural or otherwise, without (a) strict compliance with Section 17 of the Prime Lease, including, without limitation, Prime Landlord’s prior written consent, and (b) Sublandlord’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

The parties acknowledge and agree that, except as expressly provided in this Sublease, Sublandlord has made no representations or warranties, express or implied, whatsoever with respect to the Subleased Premises, including, without limitation, any representation or warranty as to the suitability of the Subleased Premises for Subtenant’s intended use or any representation or warranty made by Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease. Sublandlord shall have no obligation to make or perform any alterations, improvements or repairs to the Subleased Premises or to pay all or any portion of the costs incurred therefor, including, without limitation. any improvement or repair required to comply with any law, regulation, building code or ordinance (including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended). In addition, Sublandlord shall have no obligation to perform any repairs, provide any services or utilities, or perform any other obligation of Prime Landlord required to be performed by Prime Landlord under the terms of the Prime Lease (including, without limitation, Prime Landlord’s obligations to comply with laws and carry insurance). Sublandlord shall, however, request performance of the same in writing from Prime Landlord promptly after being requested to do so by Subtenant and shall use Sublandlord’s reasonable efforts to obtain Prime Landlord’s performance, at Subtenant’s cost. Subtenant expressly waives the provisions of any laws that would permit Subtenant to terminate this Sublease for any failure of Prime Landlord or Sublandlord to perform any maintenance or repairs or that would permit Subtenant to make repairs at the expense of Prime Landlord or Sublandlord.

10.                               Subordination

 

This Sublease is subject and subordinate to the Prime Lease, to all ground leases, and to all mortgages and deeds of trust which may now or hereafter affect such leases, the leasehold estate or estates thereby created or the real property of which the Subleased Premises form a part, and to any and all renewals, modifications, amendments, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, provided that, notwithstanding any provision in this Sublease or the Prime Lease to the contrary, Sublandlord agrees not to effect any modification, termination or amendment of the Prime Lease which materially, adversely affects the rights of Subtenant hereunder without the prior written consent of Subtenant in each case (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). This section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. Subtenant shall, however, execute any certificates confirming such subordination which Sublandlord or Prime Landlord may reasonably request no later than ten (10) days after receipt of such request.

 

11.                               Assignment and Further Subleases

 

Subtenant agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly assign, assign by operation of law, Transfer (as defined in Section 29 of the Prime Lease), or encumber, or permit to be encumbered, its right or interests under this Sublease, nor sub-sublet the whole or any part of the Subleased Premises, except (a) in strict compliance with Section 29 of the Prime Lease, (b) the prior written consent of Sublandlord in each case, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (iii) the prior written consent of Prime Landlord in accordance with Section 29 of the Prime Lease. Subtenant shall not assign this Sublease, sub-sublet the Subleased Premises, or permit occupancy or use of the Subleased Premises or any part thereof by another party or parties, without giving Sublandlord thirty (30) days prior written notice of Subtenant’s bona fide proposed

assignment or subletting of all or any part of the Subleased Premises (a “Transfer Proposal”). If Subtenant desires to assign this Sublease or sub-sublet all or any portion of the Subleased Premises, then upon receipt of the Transfer Proposal, Sublandlord shall have the right, at its option during said thirty (30) day period, either (i) to the extent the Transfer Proposal includes more man seventy-five percent (75%) of the Subleased Premises, to terminate this Sublease, (ii) release Subtenant from the Sublease for such space, or (iii) sublet such space from the Subtenant at the same rental as in Subtenant’s proposed sub-sublease. The consent by Sublandlord to any assignment, transfer, or subletting to any party other than Sublandlord shall not be construed as a waiver or release of Subtenant from the terms of any covenant or obligation under this Sublease, nor shall the collection or acceptance of rent from any such assignee, transferee, subtenant or occupant constitute a waiver or release of Subtenant from any covenant or obligation contained in this Sublease, nor shall such assignment or subletting be construed to relieve Subtenant from giving Sublandlord said thirty (30) days notice, nor from obtaining the consent in writing of Sublandlord to any further assignment or subletting. In the event that Subtenant defaults hereunder, Subtenant hereby assigns to Sublandlord the rent due from any subtenant of Subtenant and hereby authorizes each such subtenant to pay said rent directly to Sublandlord. If Sublandlord consents to an assignment or sublease pursuant to this Section 11, Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord with an executed copy of such assignment or sublease within ten (10) days of its execution. For purposes of the foregoing, a transfer, conveyance, grant or pledge, directly or indirectly, in one or more transactions, of interest in Subtenant (whether stock, partnership interest or other form of ownership or control), or the issuance of new interests, by which an aggregate of more than fifty percent (50%) of the interest in Subtenant shall be vested in a party or parties who are not holders of such interest(s) as of the date hereof shall be deemed an assignment of this Sublease; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply to any corporation, all the outstanding voting stock of which is listed on a national securities exchange as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The merger or consolidation of Subtenant into or with any other entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of Subtenant’s assets, shall be deemed to be an assignment within the meaning of this Section. Sublandlord’s acceptance of any name for listing on the Building directory will not be deemed, nor will it substitute for Sublandlord’s consent to any sublease, assignment or other occupancy of the Subleased Premises. In the event of an assignment or subletting not in conformance with the terms of this Sublease, such assignment and/or subletting shall be void ab initio and Sublandlord shall have the right to terminate this Sublease or to require that the Subleased Premises be surrendered to Sublandlord for the balance of the Term (in the case of an assignment) or for the term of the proposed sublease (in the case of a sublease). Such termination shall in no event be construed to limit Sublandlord’s right to damages or any other relief for the violation of the terms of this Sublease. In the event that Sublandlord approves an assignment or subletting of all or any portion of the Subleased Premises, Subtenant shall pay from time to time to Sublandlord as Additional Rent an amount (the “Assignment or Sublet Premium”) equal to fifty percent (50%) of the difference between (a) all sums of any kind or nature paid to Subtenant or its agent by or on behalf of such assignee or subtenant in connection with the assignment or sublease and (b) the Rent paid by Subtenant from time to time under this Sublease and attributable to the portion of the Subleased Premises assigned or sublet. Reasonable brokerage fees and commissions, and costs of alterations in and to the Subleased Premises required by such assignee or subtenant and approved by Sublandlord and Prime Landlord as hereinabove required shall be amortized over the term of such assignment or sublease and deducted prior to calculating the Assignment or Sublet Premium due Sublandlord.

12.                               Surrender

 

(a)                                 Upon the date this Sublease shall expire or be earlier terminated, the Subtenant shall quit and surrender to the Sublandlord the Subleased Premises and remove all of its furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment, personal property, alterations and improvements, and all of its computer cabling and wiring, all such removal at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, using a contractor approved in advance by Sublandlord and Prime Landlord in writing to leave the Subleased Premises broom clean and in as good order and condition as they were on the date the Term of this Sublease commenced and otherwise in the condition required by Section 26 of the Prime Lease upon any surrender of the Premises, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Subtenant’s surrender obligations shall only apply to furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment, personal property, alterations, improvements, and computer cabling and wiring, installed or owned by Subtenant, and/or conditions created by Subtenant. Subtenant’s obligation to perform and observe this covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Sublease. Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sublandlord from and against any and all losses, costs, claims, liabilities and damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or relating to any failure of Subtenant, any sub-subtenant or any other occupant to surrender the Subleased Premises in the condition required by this Sublease, including, without limitation, all holdover rent, consequential damages and other amounts that Sublandlord shall be obligated to pay to Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease, and all other costs incurred by Sublandlord in returning the Subleased Premises to their required condition. Further, if the term of the Prime Lease has not then expired, but the Term of this Sublease has expired or sooner terminated, then if Subtenant fails to surrender the Subleased Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term hereof, Subtenant shall become a tenant at sufferance, month-to month, and shall pay to Sublandlord immediately upon demand, 150% of the Base Rent then payable and 100% of the Additional Rent then payable under this Sublease, but such payment shall not relieve Subtenant of all liabilities arising from such failure to comply with the provisions of this Section.

 

(b)                                 If Subtenant vacates the Subleased Premises without complying with the requirements of this Section, Sublandlord (in addition to any other rights and remedies that may be available to it) may remove such items and make such repairs, and charge Subtenant for all reasonable third party costs incurred, plus interest at the Default Rate, all due and payable to Sublandlord on demand. Subtenant’s obligations in this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease.

 

13.                               Brokers

 

Sublandlord and Subtenant warrant and represent to each other that, other than Jones Lang LaSalle (“Broker”), no broker brought about this transaction or dealt with Sublandlord or Subtenant in connection herewith. Sublandlord shall pay a commission to Broker in accordance with a separate written agreement. Sublandlord and Subtenant shall indemnify and hold harmless each other against and from any claim for brokerage commissions or other fees and all costs, expenses and liabilities in connection with this Sublease (except amounts due to Broker),

 

11

 

including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising out of any dealings such indemnifying party had with any broker, finder or other person. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.

 

14.                               Parking

 

Subtenant shall have the right to the parking spaces described in Section 13 of the Prime Lease, and Subtenant shall comply with the provisions of such Section 13.

 

15.                               Signage

 

Subtenant shall have the right to signage described in Section 12.7 of the Prime Lease, and Subtenant shall comply with the provisions of such Section 12.7. Sublandlord shall request that Prime Landlord include Subtenant’s name in any tenant directory located in the lobby on the first floor of the Building. Subtenant may not install any signs, placards, lettering, drapes, window coverings, blinds or similar items except in strict compliance with Section 12 of the Prime Lease and in conformity with all laws and regulations, which shall be installed at Subtenant’s sole cost.

 

16.                               Access; Early Access; Server Room Access.

 

Subtenant shall have all rights of access to the Subleased Premises 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, subject to Articles 13, 14, 16, 18, 21, 24 and 25 of the Prime Lease. Sublandlord agrees to provide Subtenant with access to the Suite 420 Sublease Premises without payment of Base Rent solely for the purpose of commencing move-in and set-up activities at such site. To the extent Subtenant is not in default under the Sublease, Sublandlord agrees to provide Subtenant with access to the Suite 450 Sublease Premises thirty (30) days prior to the Suite 450 Commencement Date without payment of additional Rent for the sole purpose of commencing move-in and set-up activities at such site. Prior to any early access to the Subleased Premises, Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord evidence satisfactory to Sublandlord that insurance coverages required of Subtenant under Section 9 of this Sublease.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or the Prime Lease, Subtenant agrees that Sublandlord shall have unfettered access to the server room within the Suite 420 Sublease Premises from the Suite 420 Commencement Date through the Suite 450 Commencement Date.

 

17.                               Letter of Credit.

 

(a)                                 Subtenant shall deliver an unconditional, clean, irrevocable letter of credit (“Letter of Credit”) to Sublandlord in an amount equal to (i) six (6) months Suite 420 Base Rent for the Suite 420 Subleased Premises (the “Suite 420 Letter of Credit”) concurrently with Subtenant’s execution of this Sublease, and (ii) six (6) months Suite 450 Base Rent for the Suite 450 Subleased Premises (the “Suite 450 Letter of Credit”) upon the Suite 450 Commencement Date. For purposes of this Sublease, the term “Letter of Credit” shall include the Suite 420 Letter of Credit and, if applicable, the Suite 450 Letter of Credit and shall be issued by a solvent

 

12

 

and nationally recognized bank (a bank which accepts deposits, maintains accounts, has a local San Francisco Bay Area office which will negotiate a letter of credit, and whose deposits are insured by the FDIC) reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord (such approved, issuing bank being referred to herein as the “Bank”). Subtenant shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred by Subtenant in obtaining the Letter of Credit or any updates or replacements thereof. The Letter of Credit shall (i) be “callable” at sight, irrevocable and unconditional, (ii) be maintained in effect, whether through renewal or extension, for the period commencing on the date of this Sublease and continuing until the date (the “Letter of Credit Expiration Date”) that is no less than sixty (60) days after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date as the same may be extended, and Subtenant shall deliver a new Letter of Credit or certificate of renewal or extension to Sublandlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit then held by Sublandlord, without any action whatsoever on the part of Sublandlord, (iii) be fully assignable by Sublandlord, its successors and assigns, (iv) permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings, and (v) be otherwise subject to the International Standby Practices-ISP 98, International Chamber of Commerce Publication #590. Sublandlord, or its authorized representative, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit if any of the following shall have occurred or be applicable: (A) such amount is due to Sublandlord under the terms and conditions of this Sublease, and has not been paid within applicable notice and cure periods, or (B) Subtenant has filed a voluntary petition under the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or any state bankruptcy code (collectively, “Bankruptcy Code”), or (C) an involuntary petition has been filed against Subtenant under the Bankruptcy Code that is not dismissed within thirty (30) days, or (D) the Bank has notified Sublandlord that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed or extended through the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, and Subtenant has not provided a replacement Letter of Credit that satisfies the requirements of this Sublease at least thirty (30) days prior to such expiration, or (E) Subtenant is placed into receivership or conservatorship, or becomes subject to similar proceedings under Federal or State law, or (F) Subtenant executes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (G) if there is a material adverse change in the financial condition of the Bank, and Subtenant has failed to provide Sublandlord with a replacement letter of credit, conforming in all respects to the requirements of this Article 17, in the amount of the applicable Letter of Credit, within ten (10) days following Sublandlord’s written demand therefor (with no other notice or cure or grace period being applicable thereto, notwithstanding anything in this Sublease to the contrary) (each of the foregoing being an “Letter of Credit Draw Event”). The Letter of Credit shall be honored by the Bank regardless of whether Subtenant disputes Sublandlord’s right to draw upon the Letter of Credit. Subtenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Sublandlord is entering into this Sublease in material reliance upon the ability of Sublandlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any Letter of Credit Draw Event. In the event of any Letter of Credit Draw Event, Sublandlord may, but without obligation to do so, and without notice to Subtenant, draw upon the Letter of Credit, in part or in whole, in the amount necessary to cure any such Letter of Credit Draw Event and/or to compensate Sublandlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained or which Sublandlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain resulting from Subtenant’s breach or default of the Sublease or other Letter of Credit Draw Event and/or to compensate Sublandlord for any and all damages arising out of, or incurred in connection with, the termination of this Sublease, including, without limitation, those specifically identified in Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code. The use, application or

 

13

 

retention of the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, by Sublandlord shall not prevent Sublandlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Sublease or by any applicable law, it being intended that Sublandlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit, and such Letter of Credit shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Sublandlord may otherwise be entitled. Subtenant agrees and acknowledges that (i) the Letter of Credit constitutes a separate and independent contract between Sublandlord and the Bank, (ii) Subtenant is not a third party beneficiary of such contract, (iii) Subtenant has no property interest whatsoever in the Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof, and (iv) in the event Subtenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, Subtenant is placed into receivership or conservatorship, and/or there is an event of a receivership, conservatorship or a bankruptcy filing by, or on behalf of, Subtenant, neither Subtenant, any trustee, nor Subtenant’s bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Sublandlord’s claim and/or rights to the Letter of Credit and/or the proceeds thereof by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. If any portion of the Letter of Credit is so used or applied, then Subtenant shall, within ten (10) business days following demand therefor, restore the Letter of Credit to its original amount, and Subtenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Sublease. The provisions of this Section 17 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.

 

(b)                                 Sublandlord and Subtenant (1) acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit or any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof be deemed to be or treated as a “security deposit” under any law applicable to security deposits in the commercial context, including, but not limited to, Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, as such Section now exists or as it may be hereafter amended or succeeded (the Security Deposit Laws”), (2) acknowledge and agree that the Letter of Credit (including any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof) is not intended to serve as a security deposit, and the Security Deposit Laws shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto, and (3) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations that any such party may now, or in the future will, have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Subtenant hereby irrevocably waives and relinquishes the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and any successor statue, and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in effect.

 

(c)                                  Subtenant agrees not to interfere in any way with any payment to Sublandlord of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, either prior to or following a “draw” by Sublandlord of all or any portion of the Letter of Credit, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Subtenant and Sublandlord as to Sublandlord’s right to draw down all or any portion of the Letter of Credit. No condition or term of this Sublease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional and thereby afford the Bank a justification for failing to honor a drawing upon such Letter of Credit in a timely manner. Subtenant’s sole remedy in connection with the improper presentment or payment of sight drafts drawn under any Letter of Credit shall be the right to obtain from Sublandlord a refund of the amount of any sight draft(s) that were improperly presented or the proceeds of which were misapplied and reasonable actual out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, provided that at the time of such refund, Subtenant increases the amount of such Letter of Credit to the amount (if any) then required under the applicable provisions of this Sublease.

18.                               Confidentiality. Subtenant and its representatives and Sublandlord and its representatives shall not disclose the terms of the Sublease or the Prime Lease to any third party except as permitted under Section 38 of the Prime Lease.

 

19.                               General Provisions

 

(a)                                 Benefit and Burden. The covenants, conditions, agreements, terms and provisions herein contained shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and each of their respective personal representatives, successors, heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, but such inclusion shall not, by itself, be deemed a consent by Sublandlord to the Subtenant originally named herein or any successor named Subtenant to further sublet the Subleased Premises or assign this Sublease. Subtenant shall attorn to each of Sublandlord’s successors and assigns.

 

(b)                                 Governing Law. It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Sublease (and the terms and provisions hereof) shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state where the Subleased Premises are located without reference to conflict-of-laws or choice-of-laws provisions.

 

(c)                                  Entire Agreement. This Sublease contains all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions, conditions, warranties and understandings comprising the final and entire agreement between the parties hereto, and they shall not be bound by any terms, statements, conditions or representations, oral or written, express or implied, not herein contained. No waiver or modification of any covenant, agreement, term provision or condition shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by both parties.

 

(d)                                 Sublease and Prime Lease. With respect to the relationship between Sublandlord and Subtenant, the terms and conditions of this Sublease shall take precedence with respect to any conflict between the terms and conditions contained herein and the terms and conditions of the Prime Lease. Nothing herein shall be construed in any way to affect the rights and obligations of the Sublandlord and Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease, including, without limitation, with respect to payment of rent.

 

(e)                                  Captions. The captions throughout this Sublease are for convenience of reference only and the words contained therein shall in no way be held or deemed to define, limit, describe, explain, modify, amplify or add to the interpretation, construction or meaning of any provision of or the scope or intent of this Sublease, nor in any way affect this Sublease.

 

(f)                                   Singular and Plural. Wherever appropriate herein, the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular.

 

(g)                                  Counterpart. This Sublease may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

15

 

(h)                                 Waiver of Jury Trial. Subtenant hereby waives trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by Sublandlord or Prime Landlord against Subtenant with respect to any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Sublease, the relationship of Sublandlord and Subtenant hereunder or Subtenant’s use or occupancy of the Subleased Premises. In the event Sublandlord commences any proceedings for nonpayment of rent, Subtenant shall not interpose any counterclaims (except compulsory counterclaims). This shall not, however, be construed as a waiver of Subtenant’s right to assert such claims in any separate action brought by Subtenant.

 

(i)                                     TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE WITH RESPECT TO ALL OF THE TIME PERIODS SET FORTH IN THIS SUBLEASE.

 

(j)                                    Right to Contest. If Sublandlord does not have the right to contest any matter in the Prime Lease due to expiration of any time limit that may be set forth therein or for any other reason, then notwithstanding any incorporation of any such provision from the Prime Lease into this Sublease, Subtenant shall also not have the right to contest any such matter.

 

(k)                                 No Drafting Presumption. The parties acknowledge that this Sublease has been agreed to by both the parties, that both Sublandlord and Subtenant have consulted with attorneys with respect to the terms of this Sublease, and that no presumption shall be created against Sublandlord because Sublandlord initially drafted this Sublease.

 

(1)                                 Force Majeure. In the event either party is in any way delayed, interrupted or prevented from performing any of its obligations under this Sublease (except, with respect to any obligation to pay sums due under this Sublease), and such delay, interruption or prevention is due to fire, act of God, governmental act, action or inaction (including, without limitation, government delays in issuing any required building, construction, occupancy or other permit, certificate or approval or performing any inspection or review in connection therewith), strike, labor dispute, inability to procure materials, act of terrorism or war or any other cause beyond such party’s reasonable control, including but not limited to the action or inaction of Prime Landlord (whether similar or dissimilar) (collectively, “Force Majeure”), then such party shall be excused from performing the affected obligations for the period of such delay, interruption or prevention so long as such party exercises reasonable diligence in dealing with such matter.

 

(m)                             Effectiveness. This Sublease is subject to the consent of Prime Landlord in accordance with the terms of the Prime Lease and shall have no effect until Prime Landlord shall have given its consent in the form required by Prime Landlord and, if such consent imposes additional obligations on Subtenant outside of the Sublease, subject to Subtenant’s reasonable approval of such additional obligations (the “Prime Landlord’s Consent”) and this Sublease is executed by and delivered to both Sublandlord and Subtenant. In connection therewith, Subtenant shall furnish all information reasonably requested by Prime Landlord and reasonably cooperate with Sublandlord in its efforts to obtain Prime Landlord’s Consent. Sublandlord shall have no obligation to pay any fee or charge of any nature whatsoever not specifically required to be paid under the Prime Lease in connection with such consent and shall suffer and incur no

 

16

 

liability to Subtenant for its failure to obtain such consent. Sublandlord shall be responsible for all fees payable to Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease in connection with this Sublease, including any fees payable to Prime Landlord to obtain Prime Landlord’s Consent. In the event Prime Landlord’s Consent is not obtained by March 6, 2014 or such later date mutually agreed upon between the parties, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Subtenant’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Sublease.

 

Subtenant agrees that Sublandlord shall not have any duty or responsibility under this Sublease with respect to obtaining the consent or approval of Prime Landlord when the same is required under the terms of the Prime Lease or under this Sublease, other than the transmission by Sublandlord to Prime Landlord of Subtenant’s request for such consent or approval. In addition, Subtenant hereby (i) waives any claim for monetary damages against Sublandlord which Subtenant may have based upon any assertion that Sublandlord has unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed any consent or approval requested by Subtenant (“Consent Delay”), and (ii) agrees that its sole remedy in the event of a Consent Delay shall be an action or proceeding in equity to enforce a related provision or for specific performance or other equitable remedy.

 

(n)                                 No Shop. Sublandlord shall not, nor permit any of its representatives to: offer any of the Suite 450 Sublease Premises for sublease or assignment, or solicit, initiate, respond to or engage in any discussions or negotiations with any third party with respect to the sublease or assignment of the Suite 450 Sublease Premises, at any time prior to the termination of the Sublease of Suite 450 in accordance with Section 1(c) above.

 

(o)                                 Suite 420 & Suite 450 Furniture. Sublandlord hereby agrees to lease to Subtenant (at no extra charge or rent) that certain furniture listed in Exhibit C that is situated at the Suite 420 Subleased Premises (“Suite 420 Furniture”) and that certain furniture, if any, identified by Sublandlord on Exhibit D and delivered to Subtenant on the Suite 450 Commencement Date (the “Suite 450 Furniture” and, together with the Suite 420 Furniture, the “Sublease Furniture”), all in its “AS-IS” condition and without warranty, express or implied, of any kind or nature. Subtenant shall maintain, repair and replace the Sublease Furniture as and when necessary, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, until such Sublease Furniture is beyond its useful life. Provided this Sublease is in full force and effect thirty (30) days prior to its scheduled Expiration Date, Subtenant shall have the option to purchase all such Sublease Furniture for the price of One Dollar ($1.00) by written notice to Sublandlord not before the thirtieth (30th) day prior to such scheduled Expiration Date and not later than the fifteenth (15th) day prior to such scheduled Expiration Date. If Subtenant timely exercises such option, then all right, title and interest of Sublandlord in such Sublease Furniture shall be deemed conveyed to Subtenant, and Subtenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove all of the same Sublease Furniture from the Subleased Premises as required by the Prime Lease, and Subtenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal. If Subtenant shall not timely exercise such option, then such option shall be null and void and Subtenant shall have no further right or interest in such Sublease Furniture.

3.                                      Term. The actual term of this Lease (as the same may be extended pursuant to Article 42 hereof, and as the same may be earlier terminated in accordance with this Lease, the “Term”) shall commence on the actual Term Commencement Date (as defined in Article 4) and end on the date that is sixty (60) months after the actual Term Commencement Date (such date, the “Term Expiration Date”), subject to earlier termination of this Lease as provided herein. TENANT HEREBY WAIVES THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 1933 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME.

 

3.1.                            Termination Option. Tenant shall have the one-time option to terminate this Lease (the “Termination Option”) by providing written notice to Landlord on or before the last day of the twenty-seventh (27th) month of the Term (the “Termination Notice Deadline”). If Tenant elects to exercise the Termination Option on or before the Termination Notice Deadline, Tenant shall surrender the Premises on or before the date that is the last day of the thirty-sixth (36th) month after actual Term Commencement Date (the “Surrender Deadline”). Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord (a) in the condition and (b) with all documentation required under this Lease. If Tenant does not surrender the Premises in accordance with Article 15 of this Lease by the Surrender Deadline, then Tenant, pursuant to Article 16 of the Lease, shall be become a tenant at sufferance until the actual date (the “Surrender Date”) that Tenant surrenders the Premises to Landlord in accordance with Article 15 of this Lease and this Section. This Lease, and all obligations of Tenant under this Lease (including Rent, Additional Rent and Property Management Fee) shall terminate on the later of (y) the Surrender Deadline and (z) the Surrender Date, and shall be of no further force or effect, except for those provisions and obligations that, by their express terms, survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

3.2.                            Termination Payment. In the event Tenant exercises the Termination Option, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on or before the Surrender Deadline, an amount equal to Three Hundred Four Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty and 91/100 Dollars ($304,850.91).

 

4.                                      Possession and Commencement Date.

 

4.1.                            The “Term Commencement Date” shall be the earlier of (a) the Estimated Term Commencement Date and (b) the day the work described in the Work Letter (the “Tenant Improvements”) is Substantially Complete and Tenant begins occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted Use (subject to extension of the Term Commencement Date due to Landlord Delay). Tenant and Landlord shall execute and deliver to the other written acknowledgment of the actual Term Commencement Date and the Term Expiration Date within ten (10) days after Tenant takes occupancy of the Premises, in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto. Failure to execute and deliver such acknowledgment, however, shall not affect the Term Commencement Date or Landlord’s or Tenant’s liability hereunder. Failure by Tenant to obtain validation by any medical

 

4

 

review board or other similar governmental licensing of the Premises required for the Permitted Use by Tenant shall not serve to extend the Term Commencement Date. The term “Substantially Complete” or “Substantial Completion” means that the Tenant Improvements are substantially complete in accordance with the Approved Plans (as defined in the Work Letter), except for punch list items, the completion of which does not interfere with the Permitted Use and that a certificate of occupancy has been issued for the Premises.

 

4.2.                            Tenant shall have the right to cause the Tenant Improvements to be constructed in the Premises pursuant to the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Work Letter”) at a cost to Landlord not to exceed Seven Hundred Fifty-Four Thousand One Hundred Twenty and 00/100 Dollars ($754,120.00) (based upon Forty and 00/100 Dollars ($40.00) per square foot of Rentable Area (the “TI Allowance”). The TI Allowance may be applied to the costs of (n) construction, (o) project review by Landlord (which fee shall equal one and 75/100 percent (1.75%) of the cost of the Tenant Improvements, including the TI Allowance), (p) space planning, architect, engineering and other related services performed by third parties unaffiliated with Tenant, (q) building permits and other taxes, fees, charges and levies by Governmental Authorities (as defined below) for permits or for inspections of the Tenant Improvements, and (r) costs and expenses for labor, material, equipment, cabling (excluding telephone and tele-data cabling), electrical and fixtures. In no event shall the TI Allowance be used for (v) the cost of work that is not authorized by the Approved Plans (as defined in the Work Letter) or otherwise approved in writing by Landlord, (w) payments to Tenant (except for payments of amounts set forth in Reimbursement Requests submitted pursuant to the Work Letter which Reimbursement Requests shall not contain payment requests for services performed by Tenant but rather by contractors, etc. retained by Tenant) or any affiliates of Tenant, (x) the purchase of any furniture, personal property or other non-building system equipment (except affixed lab equipment), (y) costs resulting from any default by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease or (z) costs that are recovered by Tenant from a third party (e.g., insurers, warrantors, or tortfeasors) or in the case of Tenant’s failure to procure insurance required pursuant to the terms of this Lease, costs otherwise recoverable by Tenant from its insurance provider absent Tenant’s failure to such insurance.

 

4.3.                            Tenant shall have until eighteen (18) months from the Term Commencement Date (the “TI Deadline”), to expend the unused portion of the TI Allowance, after which date Landlord’s obligation to fund such costs shall expire.

 

4.4.                            In no event shall any unused TI Allowance entitle Tenant to a credit against Rent payable under this Lease. Upon Substantial Completion, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (i) a certificate of occupancy for the Premises suitable for the Permitted Use and (ii) a Certificate of Substantial Completion in the form of the American Institute of Architects document G704, executed by the project architect and the general contractor.

 

4.5.                            Prior to entering upon the Premises, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord evidence satisfactory to Landlord that insurance coverages required of Tenant under the provisions of Article 23 are in effect, and such entry shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Lease other than the payment of Base Rent or Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses (as defined below).

 

5

 

4.6.                            Tenant’s selection of the architect, engineer, general contractor and major subcontractors shall occur as set forth in Section 1.3 of the Work Letter. Subject to the process set forth in the Work Letter, Tenant shall have the right to use non-union labor to perform the Tenant Improvements; provided however, that Landlord shall not be responsible for any labor disharmony or delays that results from the use of non-union labor.

 

4.7.                            Promptly after the Execution Date, Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall install a sub-meter for electricity supplied to the Premises for use during Tenant’s construction of the Tenant Improvements and during the Term. Tenant shall pay all such electricity charges, together with any fees, surcharges and taxes thereon for the period beginning on the date that Tenant first accesses the Premises for any reason after the Execution Date. Prior to Landlord’s installation of the aforementioned sub-meter, Tenant shall be charged electricity costs, following the Execution Date through the date that such sub-meter is installed, in an amount equal to the electricity actually consumed by Tenant’s construction activities, as reasonably demonstrated and documented by Landlord, using as a starting point the baseline costs of electricity in the Building prior to the commencement of Tenant’s construction activities (with appropriate adjustments, as necessary, for weather and other seasonal factors). Tenant shall not be responsible for the cost of any utilities other than electricity prior to the Term Commencement Date.

 

5.                                      Condition of Premises. Tenant acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth herein, neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the condition of the Premises, the Building or the Project, or with respect to the suitability of the Premises, the Building or the Project for the conduct of Tenant’s business. Tenant acknowledges that (a) it is fully familiar with the condition of the Premises and agrees to take the same in its condition “as is” as of the Term Commencement Date and (b) Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, repair or otherwise prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy or to pay for or construct any improvements to the Premises, except with respect to the TI Allowance, and except as otherwise set forth in the Work Letter. Tenant’s taking of possession of the Premises shall, except as otherwise agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant, conclusively establish that, to Tenant’s knowledge, the Premises were at such time in satisfactory condition and repair, except for latent defects. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord covenants and represents that It shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant with all building systems and subsystems, all structural elements of the Premises and Building, and all roofs and foundations in good working order and condition.

 

6.                                      Rentable Area.

 

6.1.                            The term “Rentable Area” shall reflect such areas as reasonably calculated by Landlord’s architect. The Rentable Area of Tenant’s Premises shall not be adjusted during the Term unless Tenant exercises its ROFR as set forth in Article 42 or otherwise increases the useable square footage of the Premises.

 

6.2.                            The Rentable Area of the Building is generally determined by making separate calculations of Rentable Area applicable to each floor within the Building and totaling the Rentable Area of all floors within the Building. The Rentable Area of a floor is computed by measuring to the outside finished surface of the permanent outer Building walls. The full area

 

6

 

calculated as previously set forth is included as Rentable Area, without deduction for columns and projections or vertical penetrations, including stairs, elevator shafts, flues, pipe shafts, vertical ducts and the like, as well as such items’ enclosing walls.

 

6.3.                            The term “Rentable Area,” when applied to the Premises, is that area equal to the usable area of the Premises, plus an equitable allocation of Rentable Area within the Building that is not then utilized or expected to be utilized as usable area, including that portion of the Building devoted to corridors, equipment rooms, restrooms, elevator lobby, atrium and mailroom.

 

7.                                      Rent.

 

7.1.                            Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Base Rent for the Premises, commencing on the Term Commencement Date, the sums set forth in Section 2.3, subject to the rental adjustments provided in Article 8 hereof. Base Rent shall be paid in equal monthly installments as set forth in Section 2.3, subject to the rental adjustments provided in Article 8 hereof, each in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term.

 

7.2.                            In addition to Base Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent (“Additional Rent”) at times hereinafter specified in this Lease (a) Tenant’s Share (as defined below) of Operating Expenses (as defined below), (b) the Property Management Fee (as defined below) and (c) any other amounts that Tenant expressly assumes or agrees to pay under the provisions of this Lease that are owed to Landlord, including any and all other sums that may become due by reason of any default of Tenant or failure on Tenant’s part to comply with the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, after notice and the lapse of any applicable cure periods.

 

7.3.                            Base Rent and Additional Rent shall together be denominated “Rent.” Rent shall be paid to Landlord, without abatement, deduction or offset except as otherwise set forth herein, in lawful money of the United States of America at the office of Landlord as set forth in Section 2.8 or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time designate in writing. In the event the Term commences or ends on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then the Rent for such fraction of a month shall be prorated for such period on the basis of a thirty (30) day month and shall be paid at the then-current rate for such fractional month.

 

8.                                      Rent Adjustments. Commencing on the third (3rd) annual anniversary of the Term Commencement Date (i.e. the thirty-seventh (37th) month of the Term) Base Rent shall be subject to an annual upward adjustment of three and one-half percent (3.5%) of the then-current Base Rent. The first such adjustment shall become effective on the third (3rd) annual anniversary of the Term Commencement Date, and subsequent adjustments shall become effective on every successive annual anniversary for so long as this Lease continues in effect.

 

9.                                      Operating Expenses.

 

9.1.                            As used herein, the term “Operating Expenses” shall include:

 

7

 

(a)                                             Government impositions including property tax costs consisting of real and personal property taxes and assessments, including arena, entertainment or stadium assessments and amounts due under any improvement bond upon the Building or the Project, including the parcel or parcels of real property upon which the Building and areas serving the Building are located or assessments in lieu thereof imposed by any federal, state, regional, local or municipal governmental authority, agency or subdivision (each, a “Governmental Authority”); taxes on or measured by gross rentals received from the rental of space in the Project; taxes based on the square footage of the Premises, the Building or the Project, as well as any parking charges, utilities surcharges or any other costs levied, assessed or imposed by, or at the direction of, or resulting from Applicable Laws or interpretations thereof, promulgated by any Governmental Authority in connection with the use or occupancy of the Project or the parking facilities serving the Project (excluding any transfer taxes on this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest in the Premises); any fee for a business license to operate an office building; and any expenses, including the reasonable cost of attorneys or experts, reasonably incurred by Landlord in seeking reduction by the taxing authority of the applicable taxes, less tax refunds obtained as a result of an application for review thereof or otherwise.

(b)                                             All other costs of any kind paid or incurred by Landlord in connection with the operation or maintenance of the Building and the Project, including costs of repairs and replacements to improvements within the Project as appropriate to maintain the Project as required hereunder; costs of utilities furnished to the Common Areas; sewer fees; trash collection; cleaning of the Common Areas, including windows; heating; ventilation; air-conditioning; maintenance of landscaping and grounds; maintenance of drives and parking areas; maintenance of the roof; security services and devices; building supplies; maintenance or replacement of equipment utilized for operation and maintenance of the Project; license, permit and inspection fees; sales, use and excise taxes on goods and services purchased by Landlord in connection with the operation, maintenance or repair of the Building or Project systems and equipment; telephone, postage, stationery supplies and other expenses incurred in connection with the operation, maintenance or repair of the Project; accounting and legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the production of operating statements, tax appeals or negotiation of contracts for services at the Project; costs of consultants, engineers and other professionals retained in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Building and the Project; costs of furniture, draperies, carpeting, landscaping and other customary and ordinary items of personal

property provided by Landlord for use in Common Areas; capital expenditures (provided that such capital expenditures shall not include capital expenditures which are made to comply with Applicable Laws in effect as of the Term Commencement Date and provided further that capital expenditures shall be amortized over such item’s useful life as determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, consistently applied but not to exceed fifteen (15) years with interest calculated at nine percent (9%) per annum, for each such year of useful life of the capital item during the Term); costs of complying with Applicable Laws (except (a) to the extent such costs are incurred to comply with Applicable Laws in effect as of the Term Commencement Date and (b) all fines and penalties assessed due to violation of Applicable Laws); costs to keep the Project in compliance with, or fees otherwise required under, any CC&Rs (as defined below); insurance premiums, including premiums for public liability, property casualty, earthquake, terrorism and environmental coverages; portions of insured losses paid by Landlord as part of the deductible portion of a loss pursuant to the terms of insurance policies; service contracts; costs of services of independent contractors retained to do work of a nature referenced above; and costs of compensation (including employment taxes and fringe benefits) of all persons who perform on-site regular and recurring duties connected with the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the Project, its equipment, the adjacent walks, landscaped areas, drives and parking areas, including janitors, floor waxers, window washers, watchmen, gardeners, sweepers and handymen.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operating Expenses shall not include any of the matters set forth in Exhibit I attached hereto and made a part hereof; expenses that relate to preparation of rental space for a tenant; expenses of initial development and construction, including grading, paving, landscaping and decorating (as distinguished from maintenance, repair and replacement of the foregoing); legal expenses relating to other tenants, loans or conveyances; costs of repairs to the extent reimbursed by payment of insurance proceeds received by Landlord; utility costs (except such costs generated in the Common Areas) of those utilities (including, gas, electric and water) that are separately metered and billed to Tenant; interest and any other costs of or upon loans to Landlord or secured by a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Project or a portion thereof (provided that interest upon a government assessment or improvement bond payable in installments shall constitute an Operating Expense under Subsection 9.1(a)); salaries of executive, administrative and corporate officers of Landlord; depreciation claimed by Landlord for tax purposes (provided that this exclusion of depreciation is not intended to delete from Operating Expenses actual costs of repairs and replacements in regard thereto that are provided for in Subsection 9.1(b)); and taxes that are excluded from Operating Expenses by the last sentence of Subsection 9.1(a). To the extent that Tenant uses more than Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any item of Operating Expenses as reasonably demonstrated and consistently applied by Landlord, Tenant shall pay Landlord for such excess in addition to Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses (such excess, together with Tenant’s Pro Rata Share, “Tenant’s Share”).

 

9.2.                            Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each calendar month of the Term, as Additional Rent, (a) the Property Management Fee (as defined below) and (b) Landlord’s good faith estimate of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses with respect to the Building and the Project, as applicable, for such month.

 

9

 

(x)                                 The “Property Management Fee” shall equal three percent (3%) of Base Rent due from Tenant during the Term. Tenant shall pay the Property Management Fee in accordance with Section 9.2 commencing on the Term Commencement Date and thereafter with respect to the entire Term, including any extensions thereof or any holdover periods, regardless of whether Tenant is obligated to pay Base Rent, Operating Expenses or any other Rent with respect to any such period or portion thereof.

 

(y)                                 Within ninety (90) days after the conclusion of each calendar year (or such longer period as may be reasonably required by Landlord), Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement showing in reasonable detail the actual Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the previous calendar year. Any additional sum due from Tenant to Landlord shall be due and payable thirty (30) days following delivery of such statement. If the amounts paid by Tenant pursuant to this Section exceed Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the previous calendar year, then Landlord shall credit the difference against the Rent next due and owing from Tenant; provided that, if the Lease term has expired, Landlord shall accompany said statement with payment for the amount of such difference.

 

(z)                                  Any amount due under this Section for any period that is less than a full month shall be prorated (based on a thirty (30)-day month) for such fractional month.

 

9.3.                            Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably modify Landlord’s calculation and allocation procedures for Operating Expenses, so long as such reasonable modifications produce Dollar results substantially consistent with Landlord’s then-current practice at the Project, however, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Project shall not be increased unless Tenant exercises its ROFR as set forth in Article 42 or otherwise increases the useable square footage of the Premises.

 

9.4.                            Tenant shall not be responsible for Operating Expenses or Property Management Fees attributable to the time period prior to the Term Commencement Date. Tenant’s responsibility for Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses shall continue to the latest of (a) the date of termination of the Lease and (b) the date Tenant has fully vacated the Premises.

 

9.5.                            Operating Expenses for the calendar year in which Tenant’s obligation to share therein commences and for the calendar year in which such obligation ceases shall be prorated on a pro-rata basis reasonably determined by Landlord. Expenses such as taxes, assessments and insurance premiums that are incurred for an extended time period shall be prorated based upon the time periods to which they apply so that the amounts attributed to the Premises relate in a reasonable manner to the time period wherein Tenant has an obligation to share in Operating Expenses.

 

9.6.                            Within ten (10) business days after the end of each calendar month, Tenant shall submit to Landlord an invoice, or, in the event an invoice is not available, an itemized list, of all costs and expenses that (a) Tenant has incurred (either internally or by employing third parties) during the prior month and (b) for which Tenant reasonably believes it is entitled to reimbursements from Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease or that Tenant reasonably believes is the responsibility of Landlord pursuant to this Lease or the Work Letter.

 

10

 

9.7.                            In the event that the Building or Project is less than fully occupied, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may extrapolate Operating Expenses that vary depending on the occupancy of the Building or Project, as applicable (except those that are separately metered to Tenant or separately provided by Tenant), by dividing (a) the total cost of Operating Expenses by (b) the Rentable Area of the Building or Project (as applicable) that is occupied, then multiplying (y) the resulting quotient by (z) ninety-five percent (95%) of the total Rentable Area of the Building or Project (as applicable). Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of the product of (y) and (z), subject to adjustment as reasonably determined by Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord shall not recover more than one hundred percent (100%) of Operating Expenses.

 

10.                               Taxes on Tenant’s Property.

 

10.1.                     Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency any and all taxes levied against any personal property or trade fixtures placed by Tenant in or about the Premises.

 

10.2.                     If any such taxes on Tenant’s personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or, if the assessed valuation of the Building, the Property or the Project is increased by inclusion therein of a value attributable to Tenant’s personal property or trade fixtures, and if Landlord, after written notice to Tenant, pays the taxes based upon any such increase in the assessed value of the Building, the Property or the Project, then Tenant shall, upon demand, repay to Landlord the taxes so paid by Landlord.

 

10.3.                     If any improvements in or alterations to the Premises, whether owned by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which improvements conforming to Landlord’s building standards (the “Building Standard”) in other spaces in the Building are assessed, then the real property taxes and assessments levied against Landlord or the Building, the Property or the Project by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 10.2. Any such excess assessed valuation due to improvements in or alterations to space in the Project leased by other tenants at the Project shall not be included in Operating Expenses. If the records of the County Assessor are available and sufficiently detailed to serve as a basis for determining whether said Tenant improvements or alterations are assessed at a higher valuation than the Building Standard, then such records shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant.

 

11.                               Security Deposit.

 

11.1.                     Tenant shall deposit with Landlord on or before the Execution Date the sum set forth in Section 2.6 (the “Security Deposit”), which sum shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant during the period commencing on the Execution Date and ending upon the expiration or termination of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including any provision relating to the payment of Rent, then Landlord may (but shall not be required to) after notice and the expiration of three (3) business days, use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the

 

11

 

payment of any Rent or any other sum in default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, then Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days following demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. The provisions of this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. TENANT HEREBY WAIVES THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 1950.7 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME.

 

11.2.                     In the event of bankruptcy or other debtor-creditor proceedings against Tenant, the Security Deposit shall be deemed to be applied first to the payment of Rent and other charges due Landlord for all periods prior to the filing of such proceedings.

 

11.3.                     Landlord shall deliver to any purchaser of Landlord’s interest in the Premises the funds deposited hereunder by Tenant, and thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to such deposit. This provision shall also apply to any subsequent transfers.

 

11.4.                     If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, then the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder) within thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

11.5.                     If the Security Deposit shall be in cash, Landlord shall hold the Security Deposit in an account at a banking organization selected by Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to maintain a separate account for the Security Deposit, but may intermingle it with other funds of Landlord. Landlord shall be entitled to all interest and/or dividends, if any, accruing on the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to credit Tenant with any interest for any period during which Landlord does not receive interest on the Security Deposit.

 

11.6.                     The Security Deposit may be in the form of cash, a letter of credit or any other security instrument acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. Tenant may at any time, except when Tenant is in Default (as defined below), deliver a letter of credit (the “L/C Security”) as the entire Security Deposit, as follows:

 

(a)                                 If Tenant elects to deliver L/C Security, then Tenant shall provide Landlord, and maintain in full force and effect throughout the Term and until the date that is ninety (90) days after the then-current Term Expiration Date, a letter of credit in the form of Exhibit D issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, in the amount of the Security Deposit, with an initial term of at least one year. Landlord may require the L/C Security to be reissued by a different issuer at any time during the Term if the issuing bank of the L/C Security becomes insolvent; provided, however, Landlord shall return the existing L/C Security to the existing issuer immediately upon receipt of the substitute L/C Security. If any issuer of the L/C Security shall become insolvent or placed into FDIC receivership, then Tenant shall within five (5) business days deliver to Landlord (without the requirement of notice from Landlord) substitute L/C Security issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and otherwise

 

12

 

conforming to the requirements set forth in this Article. As used herein with respect to the issuer of the L/C Security, “insolvent” shall mean the determination of insolvency as made by such issuer’s primary bank regulator (i.e., the state bank supervisor for state chartered banks; the OCC or OTS, respectively, for federally chartered banks or thrifts; or the Federal Reserve for its member banks). If, at the Term Expiration Date, any Rent remains uncalculated or unpaid, then: (i) Landlord shall with reasonable diligence complete any necessary calculations; (ii) Tenant shall extend the expiry date of such L/C Security from time to time as Landlord reasonably requires; and (iii) in such extended period, Landlord shall not unreasonably refuse to consent to an appropriate reduction of the L/C Security. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord’s legal costs (as estimated by Landlord’s counsel) in handling Landlord’s acceptance of L/C Security or its replacement or extension.

 

(b)                                 If Tenant delivers to Landlord satisfactory L/C Security in place of the entire Security Deposit, Landlord shall remit to Tenant any cash Security Deposit Landlord previously held within five (5) business days.

 

(c)                                  Landlord may draw upon the L/C Security, and hold and apply the proceeds in the same manner and for the same purposes as the Security Deposit, if: (i) an uncured Default (as defined below) exists; (ii) as of the date forty-five (45) days before any L/C Security expires (even if such scheduled expiry date is after the Term Expiration Date) Tenant has not delivered to Landlord an amendment or replacement for such L/C Security, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, extending the expiry date to the earlier of (1) ninety (90) days after the then-current Term Expiration Date or (2) the date one year after the then-current expiry date of the L/C Security; (iii) the L/C Security provides for automatic renewals, Landlord asks the issuer to confirm the current L/C Security expiry date, and the issuer fails to do so within ten (10) business days; (iv) Tenant fails to pay (when and as Landlord reasonably requires) any bank charges for Landlord’s transfer of the L/C Security; or (v) the issuer of the L/C Security ceases, or announces that it will cease, to maintain an office in the city where Landlord may present drafts under the L/C Security (and fails to permit drawing upon the L/C Security by overnight courier or facsimile). This Section does not limit any other provisions of this Lease allowing Landlord to draw the L/C Security under specified circumstances.

 

(d)                                 Tenant shall not seek to enjoin, prevent, or otherwise interfere with Landlord’s draw under L/C Security, even if it violates this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that the only effect of a wrongful draw would be to substitute a cash Security Deposit for L/C Security, causing Tenant no legally recognizable damage. Landlord shall hold the proceeds of any draw in the same manner and for the same purposes as a cash Security Deposit. In the event of a wrongful draw, the parties shall cooperate to allow Tenant to post replacement L/C Security simultaneously with the return to Tenant of the wrongfully drawn sums, and Landlord shall upon request confirm in writing to the issuer of the L/C Security that Landlord’s draw was erroneous.

 

(e)                                  If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises, then Tenant shall at Tenant’s expense, within five (5) business days after receiving a request from Landlord, deliver (and, if the issuer requires, Landlord shall consent to) an amendment to the L/C Security naming Landlord’s grantee as substitute beneficiary. If the required Security Deposit changes while L/C

 

13

 

Security is in force, then Tenant shall deliver (and, if the issuer requires, Landlord shall consent to) a corresponding amendment to the L/C Security.

 

12.                               Use.

 

12.1.                     Tenant shall use the Premises for the purpose set forth in Section 2.7, and shall not use the Premises, or permit or suffer the Premises to be used, for any other purpose without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

12.2.                     Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises in violation of Applicable Laws; zoning ordinances; or the certificate of occupancy issued for the Building or the Project, and shall, upon five (5) business days’ written notice from Landlord, discontinue any use of the Premises that is declared or claimed by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction to be a violation of any of the above, or that in Landlord’s reasonable opinion violates any of the above. Tenant shall comply with any direction of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction that shall, by reason of the nature of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, impose any duty upon Tenant or Landlord with respect to the Premises or with respect to the use or occupation thereof.

 

12.3.                     Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything that will invalidate or increase the cost of any fire, environmental, extended coverage or any other insurance policy covering the Building or the Project, and shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations and requirements of the insurers of the Building and the Project, and Tenant shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for any additional premium charged for such policy by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Article.

 

12.4.                     Tenant shall keep all doors opening onto public corridors closed, except when in use for ingress and egress.

 

12.5.                     No additional locks or bolts of any kind shall be placed upon any of the doors or windows by Tenant, nor shall any changes be made to existing locks or the mechanisms thereof without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall, upon termination of this Lease, use reasonable efforts to return to Landlord all keys to offices and restrooms either furnished to or otherwise procured by Tenant.

 

12.6.                     No awnings or other projections shall be attached to any outside wall of the Building. No curtains, blinds, shades or screens shall be attached to or hung in, or used in connection with, any window or door of the Premises other than Landlord’s standard window coverings. Neither the interior nor exterior of any windows shall be coated or otherwise sunscreened without Landlord’s prior written consent which as to lab space, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, nor shall any bottles, parcels or other articles be placed on the windowsills. No equipment, furniture or other items of personal property shall be placed on any exterior balcony without Landlord’s prior written consent.

 

14

 

12.7.                     No sign, advertisement or notice (“Signage”) shall be exhibited, painted or affixed by Tenant on any part of the Premises or the Building without Landlord’s prior written consent. Signage shall conform to Landlord’s design criteria. For any Signage, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own cost and expense, (a) acquire all permits for such Signage in compliance with Applicable Laws and (b) design, fabricate, install and maintain such Signage in a first-class condition. Tenant shall be responsible for reimbursing Landlord for costs incurred by Landlord in removing any of Tenant’s Signage upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Interior signs on doors and the directory tablet shall be inscribed, painted or affixed for Tenant by Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and shall be of a size, color and type and be located in a place acceptable to Landlord. Subject to Landlord’s review and approval of Tenant’s door Signage, Landlord agrees that Tenant’s door Signage may be in the form of Tenant’s logo (or the logo of any permitted subtenant or assignee). The lobby sign shall include its proportionate amount of space for Tenant and shall be provided exclusively for the display of the name and location of tenants only. Should Tenant exercise its ROFR (as defined in Article 42) Landlord shall work with Tenant and endeavor to provide directional signage for various divisions of Tenant in a manner consistent with the Building Signage program. Tenant shall not place anything on the exterior of the corridor walls or corridor doors other than Landlord’s standard lettering. At Landlord’s option, Landlord may install any Tenant Signage, and Tenant shall pay all costs associated with such installation within thirty (30) days after demand therefor. Tenant shall be entitled to one (1) signage spot on the existing monument sign, however, Tenant’s Signage to be inserted on the monument sign remains subject to Landlord’s review and approval. If Tenant occupies more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the then Rentable Area of the Building, Tenant may, with prior approval from Landlord, install a building-top fascia sign on the north or south facing façade of the Building which shall be visible from Highway 101. The location of such building-top sign shall be determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion.

 

12.8.                     Tenant shall only place equipment within the Premises with floor loading consistent with the Building’s structural design without Landlord’s prior written approval, and such equipment shall be placed in a location designed to carry the weight of such equipment. Landlord represents that the floor load limits are eighty (80) pounds per square foot live load, twenty (20) pounds per square foot dead load, and one hundred (100) pounds per square foot live load for corridors and exits.

 

12.9.                     Tenant shall cause any equipment or machinery to be installed in the Premises so as to reasonably prevent sounds or vibrations therefrom from extending into the Common Areas or other offices in the Project.

 

12.10.              Tenant shall not (a) do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises that shall in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Project, or injure or annoy them, (b) use or allow the Premises to be used for immoral, unlawful or objectionable purposes, (c) cause, maintain or permit any nuisance or waste in, on or about the Project or (d) take any other action that would in Landlord’s reasonable determination in any manner adversely affect other tenants’ quiet use and enjoyment of their space or adversely impact their ability to conduct business in a professional and suitable work environment.

 

15

 

12.11.              Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, Tenant shall be responsible for all liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of or in connection with the compliance of the Premises with the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101, et seq., and any state and local accessibility laws, codes, ordinances and rules (collectively, and together with regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, the “ADA”), and Tenant shall indemnify, save, defend (at Landlord’s option and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold Landlord and its owners, directors, affiliates, employees, agents and contractors; and any lender, mortgagee or beneficiary (each, a “Lender” and, collectively with Landlord and its affiliates, employees, agents and contractors, the “Landlord Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any demands, claims, liabilities, losses, costs, expenses, actions, causes of action, damages or judgments, and all reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred in investigating or resisting the same (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of any such failure of the Premises to comply with the ADA. Landlord shall be responsible for ensuring that the Common Areas of the Building and the Project comply with the ADA (which cost may be included in Operating Expenses to the extent permitted by Article 9) provided that any non-compliance conditions existing as of the Term Commencement Date be remedied by Landlord at its sole cost and expense. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

13.                               Rules and Regulations, CC&Rs, Parking Facilities and Common Areas.

 

13.1.                     Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right, in common with others, to use the Common Areas, subject to the rules and regulations adopted by Landlord and attached hereto as Exhibit E, together with such other reasonable and nondiscriminatory rules and regulations as are hereafter promulgated by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Rules and Regulations”). Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the violation or non-performance by any other tenant or any agent, employee or invitee thereof of any of the Rules and Regulations except for Landlord’s failure to use reasonable commercial efforts to enforce the same.

 

13.2.                     This Lease is subject to any recorded covenants, conditions or restrictions on the Project or Property (the “CC&Rs”), as the same may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time; provided that any such amendments, restatements, supplements or modifications do not materially modify or restrict Tenant’s rights or increase Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Tenant shall comply with the CC&Rs.

 

13.3.                     Tenant, at no charge or fee of any kind or nature, shall have a non-exclusive, irrevocable license and right to use Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the parking garage currently situated at the Building and any other parking facilities serving the Building in common on an unreserved basis with other tenants of the Building during the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the parking ratio for the Premises be less than 3 parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of Premises.

 

13.4.                     Tenant agrees not to unreasonably overburden the parking facilities and agrees to cooperate with Landlord and other tenants in the use of the parking facilities. Landlord reserves the right to determine that parking facilities are becoming overcrowded and to limit Tenant’s use

 

16

 

thereof if and to the extent Tenant is materially and repeatedly exceeding its parking ratio. Upon such determination, Landlord may reasonably allocate parking spaces among Tenant and other tenants of the Building or the Project so long as Tenant’s parking ratio is not reduced to less than 3 parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of Premises. Nothing in this Section, however, is intended to create an affirmative duty on Landlord’s part to monitor parking.

 

13.5.                     Landlord reserves the right to modify the Common Areas, including the right to add or remove exterior and interior landscaping and to subdivide real property. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord specifically reserves the right to allow the exclusive use of corridors and restroom facilities located on specific floors to one or more tenants occupying such floors; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be deprived of the use of the corridors reasonably required to serve the Premises or of restroom facilities serving the floor upon which the Premises are located. Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Project shall not be increased unless Tenant exercises its ROFR as set forth in Article 42 or otherwise increases the useable square footage of the Premises.

 

14.                               Project Control by Landlord.

 

14.1.                     Landlord reserves full control over the Building and the Project to the extent not inconsistent with Tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the Premises as provided by this Lease. This reservation includes Landlord’s right to subdivide the Project; convert the Building to condominium units; change the size of the Project by selling all or a portion of the Project or adding real property and any improvements thereon to the Project; grant easements and licenses to third parties; maintain or establish ownership of the Building separate from fee title to the Property; make additions to or reconstruct portions of the Building and the Project; install, use, maintain, repair, replace and relocate for service to the Premises and other parts of the Building or the Project pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures, wherever located in the Premises, the Building or elsewhere at the Project; and alter or relocate any other Common Area or facility, including private drives, lobbies and entrances.

 

14.2.                     Possession of areas of the Premises necessary for utilities, services, safety and operation of the Building is reserved to Landlord.

 

14.3.                     Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, promptly execute such further documents as may be reasonably appropriate to assist Landlord in the performance of its obligations hereunder; provided that Tenant need not execute any document that creates additional liability for Tenant or that deprives Tenant of the rights and benefits created by this Lease or the quiet enjoyment and use of the Premises as provided for in this Lease.

 

14.4.                     Landlord may, at any and all reasonable times during non-business hours (or during business hours if Tenant so requests), upon twenty-four (24) hours’ prior notice and accompanied by a Tenant representative (provided that no time or other restrictions shall apply or advance notice or the presence of Tenant’s representative be required if an emergency necessitates immediate entry), enter the Premises to (a) inspect the same and to determine whether Tenant is in compliance with its obligations hereunder, (b) supply any service Landlord is required to provide hereunder, (c) access the 4th Floor Common Electrical Room (defined in

 

17

 

Section 16.8), (d) show the Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants during the final year of the Term, (e) post notices of nonresponsibility, (f) access the telephone equipment, electrical substation and fire risers and (g) alter, improve or repair any portion of the Building other than the Premises for which access to the Premises is reasonably necessary; provided, however, that Landlord shall not copy any documents or take any pictures or videos of any kind during such access. In connection with any such alteration, improvement or repair as described in Subsection 14.4(g), Landlord may erect in the Premises or elsewhere in the Project scaffolding and other structures reasonably required for the alteration, improvement or repair work to be performed. In no event shall Tenant’s Rent abate as a result of Landlord’s activities pursuant to this Section; provided, however, that all such activities shall be conducted in such a manner so as to cause as little interference to Tenant as is reasonably possible. Landlord shall at all times retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in the Premises. If an emergency necessitates immediate access to the Premises, Landlord may use whatever force is necessary to enter the Premises, and any such entry to the Premises shall not constitute a forcible or unlawful entry to the Premises, a detainer of the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof.

 

15.                               Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Tenant may quietly and peaceably enjoy the Premises and neither Landlord nor anyone claiming or acting by, through or under Landlord shall disturb Tenant’s occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, except as permitted by Articles 13, 14, 16, 18, 21, 24 and 25 of this Lease.

 

16.                               Utilities and Services.

 

16.1.                     Tenant shall pay for all water (including the cost to service, repair and replace reverse osmosis, de-ionized and other treated water), gas, heat, light, power, telephone, internet service, cable television, other telecommunications and other utilities supplied to the Premises, together with any fees, surcharges and taxes thereon, but without duplication of the amounts paid by Tenant as Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses. All such utilities shall be separately sub-metered from meters that supply other suites in the Building as of the Term Commencement Date. The cost of Common Area utilities shall be included in Operating Expenses and Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of such Common Area utility charges. To the extent that Tenant uses more than Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any item of Operating Expenses or Common Area utilities as reasonably demonstrated and consistently applied by Landlord, then Tenant shall pay Landlord for such excess in addition to Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses. In the event that the Building or Project is less than fully occupied, Tenant acknowledges that, except regarding those utilities that are separately metered and those services paid directly by Tenant, Landlord may extrapolate utility usage that varies depending on the occupancy of the Building or Project, as applicable, by dividing (a) the total cost of utility usage by (b) the Rentable Area of the Building or Project (as applicable) that is occupied, then multiplying (y) the resulting quotient by (z) ninety-five percent (95%) of the total Rentable Area of the Building or Project (as applicable). Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of the product of (y) and (z), subject to adjustment based on actual usage as reasonably determined by Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord shall not recover more than one hundred percent (100%) of such utility costs.

 

18

 

16.2.                     Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall any eviction of Tenant result from, the failure to furnish any utility or service, whether or not such failure is caused by accident; breakage; repair; strike, lockout or other labor disturbance or labor dispute of any character; act of terrorism; shortage of materials, which shortage is not unique to Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be; governmental regulation, moratorium or other governmental action, inaction or delay; or other causes beyond Landlord’s control (collectively, “Force Majeure”) or Landlord’s negligence. In the event of such failure, Tenant shall not be entitled to termination of this Lease or any abatement or reduction of Rent, nor shall Tenant be relieved from the operation of any covenant or agreement of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything to the contrary in this Lease, if as a result of matters that are solely within Landlord’s control, for more than five (5) consecutive business days following written notice to Landlord: (a) HVAC or electricity services to all or a material portion of the Premises is interrupted or is unable to support Tenant’s normal occupancy requirements for the Permitted Use, (b) an interruption of water prevents the use or occupancy of all or a material portion of the Premises for the Permitted Use, or (c) access to the Premises (or a substantial portion thereof) is not reasonably available, then Tenant’s Base Rent and Operating Expenses (or an equitable portion of such Base Rent and Additional Rent based on the impact of such interruption on Tenant’s business operations, to the extent that less than all of the Premises are affected) shall thereafter be abated until such services are restored and the Premises are again accessible by Tenant for the Permitted Use; provided, however, that if Landlord is diligently pursuing the repair of such utilities or services and Landlord provides substitute services reasonably suitable for Tenant’s continued use and occupancy of the Premises for Permitted Use purposes, as for example, bringing in portable air-conditioning equipment or potable water supplies, and Tenant has reasonable access to the Premises, then there shall not be an abatement of Base Rent. In any such event, regardless of cause, Landlord shall diligently pursue the repair of such utilities and services. The foregoing provisions shall be Tenant’s sole recourse and remedy in the event of an interruption of services to the Premises due to matters solely within Landlord’s control. The foregoing provisions shall not apply in the case of damage to, or destruction of, the Premises (which shall be governed by the provisions of Article 24 of the Lease). In addition to Tenant’s abatement rights set forth above, in the event that any of the foregoing shall occur, regardless of cause, regardless of force majeure, and regardless of whether same is within Landlord’s control, and such failure or circumstance continues for more than fifteen (15) business days then Tenant’s Base Rent and Operating Expenses (or an equitable portion of such Base Rent and Additional Rent based on the impact of such interruption on Tenant’s business operations, to the extent that less than all of the Premises are affected) shall thereafter be abated until such services and access are restored for the Permitted Use; provided, however, that if Landlord is diligently pursuing the repair of such utilities or services and Landlord provides substitute services reasonably suitable for Tenant’s continued use and occupancy of the Premises for Permitted Use purposes, as for example, bringing in portable air-conditioning equipment or potable water supplies, and Tenant has reasonable access to the Premises, then there shall not be an abatement of Base Rent. The foregoing provisions shall not apply in case of damage to, or destruction of, the Premises (which shall be governed by the provisions of Article 24 of the Lease). As part of the Tenant Improvements, with Landlord’s approval, Tenant may locate an emergency generator at the Project or on the roof of the Building in a location to be agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant during the design of the Tenant

 

19

 

Improvements (the “Generator”). The cost of maintaining, repairing and replacing the Generator shall be Tenant’s sole responsibility.

 

16.3.                     Tenant shall, without duplication, pay for, prior to delinquency of payment therefor, any utilities and services that may be furnished to the Premises during or, if Tenant occupies the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, after the Term, beyond those utilities provided by Landlord, including telephone, internet service, cable television and other telecommunications, together with any fees, surcharges and taxes thereon. Upon Landlord’s demand, utilities and services provided to the Premises that are separately metered shall be paid by Tenant directly to the supplier of such utilities or services.

 

16.4.                     Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, use any device in the Premises (including data processing machines) that will in any way (a) increase the amount of ventilation, air exchange, gas, steam, electricity or water required or consumed in the Premises based upon Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Building or Project (as applicable) beyond the existing capacity of the Building or the Project usually furnished or supplied for the use set forth in Section 2.7 or (b) exceed Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Building’s or Project’s (as applicable) capacity to provide such utilities or services. Landlord represents that the Building has the capacity to provide at least five (5) watts of electricity per rentable square foot, independent of lighting and air conditioning.

 

16.5.                     If Tenant shall require utilities or services in excess of those usually furnished or supplied for tenants in similar spaces in the Building or the Project by reason of Tenant’s equipment or extended hours of business operations (it being acknowledged by the parties that subject to Articles 13, 14, 16, 18, 21, 24 and 25 of this Lease, Tenant has access to the Building 24 hours per day, seven days per week), then Tenant shall first procure Landlord’s consent for the use thereof, which consent Landlord may condition upon the availability of such excess utilities or services, and Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent an amount equal to the cost of providing such excess utilities and services.

 

16.6.                     Upon Landlord’s demand, utilities and services provided to the Premises that are separately metered shall be paid by Tenant directly to the supplier of such utility or service.

 

16.7.                     Landlord shall provide hot and cold water in Common Areas for lavatory purposes only, which water shall be from the local municipal or similar source; provided, however, that if Landlord determines that Tenant requires, uses or consumes water for any purpose other than ordinary lavatory purposes, Landlord may install a water meter and thereby measure Tenant’s water consumption in the Common Areas for all purposes. If a separate water meter is installed to monitor Common Area water usage, Tenant shall pay Landlord for the costs of such meter and the installation thereof and, throughout the duration of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall keep said meter and installation equipment in good working order and repair at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. If Tenant fails to so maintain such meter and equipment, Landlord may repair or replace the same and shall collect the costs therefor from Tenant. Tenant agrees to pay for water consumed, as shown on said meter, as and when bills are rendered. If Tenant fails to timely make such payments, Landlord may pay such charges and collect the same from Tenant. Any such costs or expenses incurred, or payments made by

 

20

 

Landlord for any of the reasons or purposes hereinabove stated, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent payment by Tenant and collectible by Landlord as such.

 

16.8.                     At any and all times and upon twenty-four (24) hours’ prior notice (provided that no time or other restrictions shall apply or advance notice be required in cases of emergency), Landlord reserves the right to stop service of the elevator, plumbing, ventilation, air conditioning and electric systems and to access the electrical room that serves other 4th floor suites but that is located within the Premises and depicted on Exhibit J attached hereto (the “4th Floor Common Electrical Room”), when Landlord deems necessary or desirable, due to accident, emergency or the need to make repairs, alterations or improvements, until such repairs, alterations or improvements shall have been completed, and Landlord, except as set forth in Section 16.2 above, shall further have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply elevator facilities, plumbing, ventilation, air conditioning or electric service when prevented from doing so by Force Majeure or Landlord’s negligence; a failure by a third party to deliver gas, oil or another suitable fuel supply; or Landlord’s inability by exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain gas, oil or another suitable fuel. Without limiting the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that, subject to the provisions of Section 16.2, any covenants on Landlord’s part to furnish any service pursuant to any of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements of this Lease, or to perform any act or thing for the benefit of Tenant, shall not be deemed breached if Landlord is unable to furnish or perform the same by virtue of Force Majeure or Landlord’s negligence. During the performance of any repairs, alterations or improvements, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s ongoing business operations.

 

16.9.                     For the Premises, Landlord shall (a) maintain and operate the Building heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems used for the Permitted Use only (“HVAC”) so that the temperature is not colder than 65 degrees nor warmer than 75 degrees, and (b) subject to clause (a) above, furnish HVAC as reasonably required (except as this Lease otherwise provides) for reasonably comfortable occupancy of the Premises twenty-four (24) hours a day, every day during the Term, subject to casualty, eminent domain or as otherwise specified in this Article. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, Landlord shall have no liability, and Tenant shall have no right or remedy, on account of any interruption or impairment in HVAC services; provided that Landlord diligently acts to cure any such interruption or impairment as soon as feasible.

 

16.10.              Landlord shall provide all of the services described in this Section 16 in a first class manner.

 

17.                               Alterations.

 

17.1.                     Except as set forth in the Work Letter, Tenant shall make no alterations, additions or improvements in or to the Premises or engage in any construction, demolition, reconstruction, renovation, or other work (whether major or minor) of any kind in, at, or serving the Premises (“Alterations”) without Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay; provided, however, that in the event any proposed Alteration affects (a) any structural portions of the Building, including exterior walls, roof,

 

21

 

foundation, foundation systems (including barriers and subslab systems), or core of the Building, (b) the exterior of the Building or (c) any Building systems, including elevator, plumbing, air conditioning, heating, electrical, security, life safety and power, then Landlord may withhold its approval with respect thereto in its sole and absolute discretion. Tenant shall, in making any such Alterations, use only those architects, contractors, suppliers and mechanics of which Landlord has given prior written approval, which approval shall be in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion or which are included on the Pre-Approved List (as defined in the Work Letter). In seeking Landlord’s approval, Tenant shall provide Landlord, at least fourteen (14) days in advance of any proposed construction, with plans, specifications, bid proposals, certified stamped engineering drawings and calculations by Tenant’s engineer of record or architect or record, (including connections to the Building’s structural system, modifications to the Building’s envelope, non-structural penetrations in slabs or walls, and modifications or tie-ins to life safety systems), work contracts, requests for laydown areas and such other information concerning the nature and cost of the Alterations as Landlord may reasonably request. In no event shall Tenant use or Landlord be required to approve any architects, consultants, contractors, subcontractors or material suppliers that Landlord reasonably believes could cause labor disharmony. Subject to the Landlord approval rights set forth above, Tenant shall have the right to use non-union labor to perform the Alterations; provided however, that Landlord shall not be responsible for any labor disharmony or delays that results from the use of non-union labor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may make strictly cosmetic changes to the Premises, which shall not include the removal of any of the Tenant Improvements or other Landlord’s property described in Section 17.6, (“Cosmetic Alterations”) without Landlord’s consent; provided that (y) the cost of any Cosmetic Alterations does not change the value of existing work in place by more than Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000) in any one instance or Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) annually, (z) such Cosmetic Alterations do not (i) require any structural or other substantial modifications to the Premises, (ii) require any changes to, or adversely affect, the Building systems, (iii) affect the exterior of the Building, (iv) involve demolition to the Premises or the Building or (v) trigger any requirement under Applicable Laws that would require Landlord to make any alteration or improvement to the Premises, the Building or the Project. Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of any Cosmetic Alterations.

 

17.2.                     Tenant shall not construct or permit to be constructed partitions or other obstructions that might interfere with free access to mechanical installation or service facilities of the Building or with other tenants’ components located within the Building, or interfere with the moving of Landlord’s equipment to or from the enclosures containing such installations or facilities.

 

17.3.                     Tenant shall accomplish any work performed on the Premises or the Building in such a manner as to permit any life safety systems to remain fully operable at all times.

 

17.4.                     Any work performed on the Premises, the Building or the Project by Tenant or Tenant’s contractors shall be done at such times and in such manner as Landlord may from time to time reasonably designate. Tenant covenants and agrees that all work done by Tenant or Tenant’s contractors shall be performed in full compliance with Applicable Laws. Within thirty (30) days after completion of any Alterations or the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall provide

 

22

 

Landlord with complete “as-built” drawing print sets, electronic portable document format (PDF) versions of “as-built” drawings negatively generated and retaining all layer information and electronic CADD files on disc (or files in such other current format in common use as Landlord reasonably approves or requires) showing any changes in the Premises. In addition, within thirty (30) days after completion of any Alterations or the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a turnover package which shall include two (2) copies of both soft copy (PDF) and hard copy forms of the following close-out items: project directory, subcontractor directory, general contractor warranties, operation and maintenance manuals, “as-built” drawings, inspection and testing reports, permits, commissioning documents (if any), final submittals, requests for information and change orders.

 

17.5.                     Before commencing any Alterations or Tenant Improvements (except Cosmetic Alterations and except as described in the Work Letter), Tenant shall give Landlord at least fourteen (14) days’ prior written notice of the proposed commencement of such work and shall, if reasonably required by Landlord, secure, at Tenant’s own cost and expense, a completion and lien indemnity bond satisfactory to Landlord for said work.

 

17.6.                     All Alterations, attached equipment, decorations, fixtures, movable laboratory casework and related appliances, trade fixtures, additions and improvements, subject to Section 17.8, attached to or built into the Premises, made and paid for by either of the Parties, including all floor and wall coverings, built-in cabinet work and paneling, sinks and related plumbing fixtures, laboratory benches, exterior venting fume hoods and walk-in freezers and refrigerators, ductwork, conduits, electrical panels and circuits, shall (unless, prior to such construction or installation, Landlord elects otherwise in writing) become the property of Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof. The Premises shall at all times remain the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. All trade fixtures, equipment, Tenant Improvements made pursuant to the Work Letter, Alterations and Signage installed by or under Tenant shall be the property of Landlord.

 

17.7.                     Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by Tenant’s removal of any property from the Premises. During any such restoration period, Tenant shall pay Rent to Landlord as provided herein as if said space were otherwise occupied by Tenant. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

17.8.                     Except for Tenant’s furniture and moveable personal property and those items listed on Exhibit F attached hereto (which Exhibit may be updated by Tenant from and after the Execution Date, but in each case only upon receipt of Landlord’s prior written approval of such updates in accordance with the procedures set forth hereafter), and except as set forth in Section 17.6 all business and trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, built-in furniture and cabinets, together with all additions and accessories thereto, installed in and upon the Premises shall be and remain the property of Landlord and shall not be removed by Tenant at any time during the Term. Following the Execution Date, and prior to the commencement of any work relating to any Tenant Improvements or Alterations occurring thereafter, Tenant shall have the ability to update Exhibit F by submitting such updated Exhibit F to Landlord at least ten (10) business days prior to the installation at the Premises of any items requested to be included on Exhibit F by Tenant.

 

23

 

Within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s updated Exhibit F, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether or not Landlord approved the updated Exhibit F. If Landlord fails to respond within such ten (10) business day period, Tenant shall provide a written reminder notice to Landlord. Landlord’s failure to respond to such reminder notice within five (5) business days after delivery of such reminder notice shall be deemed approval by Landlord of the updated Exhibit F as submitted to Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to remove any of its furniture and moveable personal property from the Premises prior to termination of this Lease, then Landlord may, at its option, remove the same in any manner that Landlord shall choose and store said effects without liability to Tenant for loss thereof or damage thereto, and Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, any costs and expenses incurred due to such removal and storage or Landlord may, at its sole option and without notice to Tenant, sell such property or any portion thereof at private sale and without legal process for such price as Landlord may obtain and apply the proceeds of such sale against any (a) amounts due by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease and (b) any expenses incident to the removal, storage and sale of said property; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to remove, and Landlord shall have no right to elect to have Tenant remove (1) any improvement, fixture or equipment (A) of a nature typically found in office/laboratory uses, (2) any of the initial Tenant Improvements to which Exhibit B relates, and (3) any improvement, fixture or equipment as to which, at the time Tenant requests Landlord’s consent, Landlord shall not have notified Tenant that Landlord elects to require Tenant to remove at the termination of this Lease.

 

17.9.                     Intentionally omitted.

 

17.10.              Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to one and 75/100 percent (1.75%) of the cost to Tenant of all changes installed by Tenant or its contractors or agents to cover Landlord’s overhead and expenses for plan review, coordination, scheduling and supervision thereof. For purposes of payment of such sum, Tenant shall submit to Landlord copies of all bills, invoices and statements covering the costs of such charges, accompanied by payment to Landlord of the fee set forth in this Section. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any extra expenses incurred by Landlord by reason of faulty work done by Tenant or its contractors, or by reason of delays caused by such work, or by reason of inadequate clean-up.

 

17.11.              Within sixty (60) days after final completion of the Tenant Improvements (or any other Alterations performed by Tenant with respect to the Premises), Tenant shall submit to Landlord documentation showing the amounts expended by Tenant with respect to such Tenant Improvements (or any other Alterations performed by Tenant with respect to the Premises), together with supporting documentation reasonably acceptable to Landlord.

 

17.12.              Tenant shall take, and shall cause its contractors to take, commercially reasonable steps to protect the Premises during the performance of any Alterations, including covering or temporarily removing any window coverings so as to guard against dust, debris or damage.

 

17.13.              Tenant shall require its contractors and subcontractors performing work on the Premises to name Landlord and its affiliates and Lenders as additional insureds on their respective insurance policies.

 

24

 

18.                               Repairs and Maintenance.

 

18.1.                     Landlord shall repair and maintain the structural and exterior portions and Common Areas of the Building and the Project, including roofing and covering materials; foundations; exterior walls; Building systems, including plumbing, mechanical, fire sprinkler systems (if any); heating, ventilating, air conditioning systems; elevators; and electrical systems installed or furnished by Landlord in a first class manner and in good condition and repair.

 

18.2.                     Except for services of Landlord, if any, required by Section 18.1, Tenant shall at Tenant’s sole cost and expense clean, maintain and keep the Premises in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted. Tenant shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, surrender the Premises to Landlord in good condition and repair in accordance with Article 17 and Article 26, ordinary wear and tear and damage thereto from casualty and condemnation excepted; and shall, at Landlord’s request, remove all telephone and data systems, wiring and equipment from the Premises, and repair any damage to the Premises caused thereby. Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises or any part thereof, other than pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Work Letter.

 

18.3.                     Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any repairs or to perform any maintenance that is an obligation of Landlord except as set forth in Section 31.12. Tenant waives its rights under Applicable Laws now or hereafter in effect to make repairs at Landlord’s expense.

 

18.4.                     If any excavation shall be made upon land adjacent to or under the Building, or shall be authorized to be made, Tenant shall afford to the person causing or authorized to cause such excavation, license to enter the Premises for the purpose of performing such work as said person shall deem necessary or desirable to preserve and protect the Building from injury or damage and to support the same by proper foundations, without any claim for damages or liability against Landlord and without reducing or otherwise affecting Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. During the performance of any excavation, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s ongoing business operations.

 

18.5.                     This Article relates to repairs and maintenance arising in the ordinary course of operation of the Building and the Project. In the event of a casualty described in Article 24, Article 24 shall apply in lieu of this Article. In the event of eminent domain, Article 25 shall apply in lieu of this Article.

 

18.6.                     Costs incurred by Landlord pursuant to this Article shall constitute Operating Expenses, unless such costs are incurred due in whole or in part to any act, neglect, fault or omission of Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors or invitees, in which case Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of such repairs and maintenance.

 

25

 

19.                               Liens.

 

19.1.                     Subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, Tenant shall keep the Premises, the Building and the Project free from any liens arising out of work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant. Tenant further covenants and agrees that any mechanic’s lien filed against the Premises, the Building or the Project for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, shall be discharged, bonded or insured over by Tenant within ten (10) days after the filing thereof, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

 

19.2.                     Should Tenant fail to discharge, bond against or insure over any lien of the nature described in Section 19.1, Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, pay such claim or post a bond or otherwise provide security to eliminate the lien as a claim against title, and Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for the costs thereof as Additional Rent. Tenant shall indemnify, save, defend (at Landlord’s option and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold the Landlord Indemnitees harmless from and against any Claims arising from any such liens, including any administrative, court or other legal proceedings related to such liens.

 

19.3.                     In the event that Tenant leases or finances the acquisition of office equipment, furnishings or other personal property of a removable nature utilized by Tenant in the operation of Tenant’s business, Tenant warrants that any Uniform Commercial Code financing statement shall, upon its face or by exhibit thereto, indicate that such financing statement is applicable only to removable personal property of Tenant located within the Premises. In no event shall the address of the Premises, the Building or the Project be furnished on a financing statement without qualifying language as to applicability of the lien only to removable personal property located in an identified suite leased by Tenant. Should any holder of a financing statement record or place of record a financing statement that appears to constitute a lien against any interest of Landlord or against equipment that may be located other than within an identified suite leased by Tenant, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after filing such financing statement, cause (a) a copy of the Lender security agreement or other documents to which the financing statement pertains to be furnished to Landlord to facilitate Landlord’s ability to demonstrate that the lien of such financing statement is not applicable to Landlord’s interest and (b) Tenant’s Lender to amend such financing statement and any other documents of record to clarify that any liens imposed thereby are not applicable to any interest of Landlord in the Premises, the Building or the Project.

 

20.                               Estoppel Certificate.  Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days of receipt of written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver a statement in writing substantially in the form attached to this Lease as Exhibit G-1, (a) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease as so modified is in full force and effect) and the dates to which rental and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (b) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (c) setting forth such further information with respect to this Lease or the Premises as may be reasonably requested thereon. Any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the real property of which the

 

26

 

Premises are a part. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such the prescribed time shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a Default (as defined below) under this Lease, and, in any event, shall be binding upon Tenant that the Lease is in full force and effect and without modification except as may be represented by Landlord in any certificate prepared by Landlord and delivered to Tenant for execution. Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days of receipt of written notice from Tenant, execute, acknowledge and deliver a statement in writing substantially in the form attached to this Lease as Exhibit G-2 (a) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease as so modified is in full force and effect) and the dates to which rental and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (b) acknowledging that there are not, to Landlord’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Tenant hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (c) setting forth such further information with respect to this Lease or the Premises as may be reasonably requested thereon. Landlord’s failure to deliver such statement within such the prescribed time shall be binding upon Landlord that the Lease is in full force and effect and without modification except as may be represented by Tenant in any certificate prepared by Tenant and delivered to Landlord for execution.

 

21.                               Hazardous Materials.

 

21.1.                     Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials (as defined below) to be brought upon, kept or used in or about the Premises, the Building or the Project in violation of Applicable Laws by Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors or invitees. If Tenant breaches such obligation, or if the presence of Hazardous Materials as a result of such a breach results in contamination of the Project, any portion thereof, or any adjacent property or if contamination of the Premises or any portion thereof otherwise occurs during the Term or any extension or renewal or holding over in violation of Applicable Laws (other than if such contamination results from (a) migration of Hazardous Materials from outside the Premises not caused by Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors or invitees or (b) to the extent such contamination is caused by Landlord), then Tenant shall indemnify, save, defend (at Landlord’s option and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold the Landlord Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Claims, including (w) diminution in value of the Project or any portion thereof, (x) damages for the loss or restriction on use of rentable or usable space or of any amenity of the Project, (y) damages arising from any adverse impact on marketing of space in the Project or any portion thereof and (z) sums paid in settlement of Claims that arise during or after the Term as a result of such breach or contamination. This indemnification by Tenant includes costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any clean-up, remedial, removal or restoration work required by any Governmental Authority because of Hazardous Materials present in the air, soil or groundwater above, on or under or about the Project. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Project, any portion thereof or any adjacent property caused or permitted by Tenant in violation of Applicable Laws results in any contamination of the Project, any portion thereof or any adjacent property, then Tenant shall promptly take all actions at its sole cost and expense as are necessary to return the Project, any portion thereof or any adjacent property to its respective condition existing prior to the time of such contamination; provided that Landlord’s written approval of such action shall first be obtained, which approval Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold; and provided, further, that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent if such actions could have

 

27

 

a material adverse long-term or short-term effect on the Project, any portion thereof or any adjacent property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall indemnify, save, defend (at Tenant’s option and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Tenant) and hold Tenant and its affiliates, employees, agents, invitees and contractors harmless from and against any and all Claims resulting from the presence of Hazardous Materials at the Project in violation of Applicable Laws as of the Execution Date, unless placed at the Project by Tenant or its affiliates, employees, agents or contractors. This indemnification by Landlord includes costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any clean-up, remedial, removal or restoration work required by any Governmental Authority because of Hazardous Materials present in the air, soil or groundwater above, on or under the Project in violation of Applicable Laws.

 

21.2.                     Landlord acknowledges that it is not the intent of this Article to prohibit Tenant from operating its business for the Permitted Use. Tenant may operate its business according to the custom of Tenant’s industry so long as the use or presence of Hazardous Materials is monitored in accordance with Applicable Laws. As a material inducement to Landlord to allow Tenant to use Hazardous Materials in connection with its business, Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord prior to the Term Commencement Date a list identifying each type of Hazardous Material to be present at the Project and setting forth any and all governmental approvals or permits required in connection with the presence of such Hazardous Material at the Project (the “Hazardous Materials List”). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an updated Hazardous Materials List on or prior to each annual anniversary of the Term Commencement Date and shall also deliver an updated Hazardous Materials List before any new Hazardous Materials are brought to the Project. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord true and correct copies of the following documents (hereinafter referred to as the “Documents”) relating to the handling, storage, disposal and emission of Hazardous Materials prior to the Term Commencement Date or, if unavailable at that time, concurrently with the receipt from or submission to any Governmental Authority: permits; approvals; reports and correspondence; storage and management plans; notices of violations of Applicable Laws; plans relating to the installation of any storage tanks to be installed in, on, under or about the Project (provided that installation of storage tanks shall only be permitted after Landlord has given Tenant its written consent to do so, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion); and all closure plans or any other documents required by any and all Governmental Authorities for any storage tanks installed in, on, under or about the Project for the closure of any such storage tanks. Tenant shall not be required, however, to provide Landlord with any portion of the Documents containing information of a proprietary nature, which Documents, in and of themselves, do not contain a reference to any Hazardous Materials or activities related to Hazardous Materials.

 

21.3.                     Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 21.1 21.2 or 21.9, if (a) any proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee of Tenant has been required by any prior landlord, Lender or Governmental Authority to take material remedial action in connection with Hazardous Materials contaminating a property if the contamination resulted from such party’s action or omission or use of the property in question or (b) any proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee is subject to a material enforcement order issued by any Governmental Authority in connection with the use, disposal or storage of Hazardous Materials, then it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to

 

28

 

withhold its consent to any proposed transfer, assignment or subletting (with respect to any such matter involving such proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee).

 

21.4.                     At any time, and from time to time, prior to the expiration of the Term, Landlord shall have the right to conduct appropriate tests of the Project or any portion thereof to demonstrate that Hazardous Materials are present in violation of Applicable Laws or that contamination has occurred due to Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors or invitees. Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs of such tests if such tests reveal that Hazardous Materials exist at the Project in violation of this Lease.

 

21.5.                     If underground or other storage tanks storing Hazardous Materials are located on the Premises or are hereafter placed on the Premises by any party, Tenant shall monitor the storage tanks, maintain appropriate records, implement reporting procedures, properly close any underground storage tanks, and take or cause to be taken all other steps necessary or required under the Applicable Laws.

 

21.6.                     Tenant shall promptly report to Landlord any actual or suspected presence of mold or water intrusion at the Premises of which Tenant has actual knowledge.

 

21.7.                     Tenant’s and Landlord’s obligations under this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. During any period of time needed by Tenant or Landlord after the termination of this Lease to complete the removal from the Premises of any such Hazardous Materials caused by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors or invitees, Tenant shall be deemed a holdover tenant and subject to the provisions of Article 27 below.

 

21.8.                     As used herein, the term “Hazardous Material” means any hazardous or toxic substance, material or waste that is or becomes regulated by any Governmental Authority.

 

21.9.                     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord shall have sole control over the equitable allocation of fire control areas (as defined in the Uniform Building Code as adopted by the city or municipality(ies) in which the Project is located (the “UBC”)) within the Project for the storage of Hazardous Materials. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, the quantity of Hazardous Materials allowed by this Section 21.9 is specific to Tenant and shall not run with the Lease in the event of a Transfer (as defined in Article 29). In the event of a Transfer, if the use of Hazardous Materials by such new tenant (“New Tenant”) is such that New Tenant utilizes fire control areas in the Project in excess of New Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Building, then New Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense and upon Landlord’s written request, establish and maintain a separate area of the Premises classified by the UBC as an “H” occupancy area for the use and storage of Hazardous Materials, or take such other action as is necessary to ensure that its share of the fire control areas of the Building is not greater than New Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Building.

 

22.                               Odors and Exhaust.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord would not enter into this Lease with Tenant unless Tenant assured Landlord that under no circumstances will any other occupants of the Building or the Project (including persons legally present in any outdoor areas of the Project) be subjected to odors or fumes (whether or not noxious), and that the Building and

 

29

 

the Project will not be damaged by any exhaust, in each case from Tenant’s operations. Landlord and Tenant therefore agree as follows:

 

22.1.                     Tenant shall not cause or permit (or conduct any activities that would cause) any release of any odors or fumes of any kind from the Premises.

 

22.2.                     If the Building has a ventilation system that, in Landlord’s judgment, is reasonably adequate, suitable, and appropriate to vent the Premises in a manner that does not release odors affecting any indoor or outdoor part of the Project, Tenant shall vent the Premises through such system. If Landlord at any time reasonably determines that any existing ventilation system is inadequate, or if no ventilation system exists, Tenant shall in compliance with Applicable Laws vent all fumes and odors from the Premises (and remove odors from Tenant’s exhaust stream) as Landlord reasonably requires. The placement and configuration of all ventilation exhaust pipes, louvers and other equipment shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval. Tenant acknowledges Landlord’s legitimate desire to maintain the Project (indoor and outdoor areas) in an odor-free manner, and Landlord may require Tenant to abate and remove all odors in a manner that goes beyond the requirements of Applicable Laws.

 

22.3.                     Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, provide odor eliminators and other devices (such as filters, air cleaners, scrubbers and whatever other equipment may in Landlord’s judgment be necessary or appropriate from time to time) to completely remove, eliminate and abate any odors, fumes or other substances in Tenant’s exhaust stream that, in Landlord’s judgment, emanate from Tenant’s Premises. Any work Tenant performs under this Section shall constitute Alterations.

 

22.4.                     Tenant’s responsibility to remove, eliminate and abate odors, fumes and exhaust shall continue throughout the Term. Landlord’s approval of the Tenant Improvements shall not preclude Landlord from requiring additional measures to eliminate odors, fumes and other adverse impacts of Tenant’s exhaust stream (as Landlord may designate in Landlord’s discretion). Tenant shall install additional equipment as Landlord requires from time to time under the preceding sentence. Such installations shall constitute Alterations.

 

22.5.                     If Tenant fails to install satisfactory odor control equipment within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s demand made at any time, then Landlord may, without limiting Landlord’s other rights and remedies, require Tenant to cease and suspend any operations in the Premises that, in Landlord’s determination, cause odors, fumes or exhaust. For example, if Landlord determines that Tenant’s production of a certain type of product causes odors, fumes or exhaust, and Tenant does not install satisfactory odor control equipment within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s request, then Landlord may require Tenant to stop producing such type of product in the Premises unless and until Tenant has installed odor control equipment satisfactory to Landlord.

 

23.                               Insurance; Waiver of Subrogation.

 

23.1.                     Landlord shall maintain insurance for the Building and the Project in amounts equal to full replacement cost (exclusive of the costs of engineering and design plans, excavation,

 

30

 

foundations and footings, and without reference to depreciation taken by Landlord upon its books or tax returns) or such lesser coverage as Landlord may elect, provided that such coverage shall not be less than ninety percent (90%) of such full replacement cost or the amount of such insurance Landlord’s Lender, if any, requires Landlord to maintain, providing protection against any peril generally included within the classification “Fire and Extended Coverage,” together with insurance against sprinkler damage (if applicable), vandalism and malicious mischief. Landlord, subject to availability thereof, shall further insure, if Landlord deems it appropriate, coverage against flood, environmental hazard, earthquake, loss or failure of building equipment, anticipated rental loss during the period of repairs or rebuilding, workers’ compensation insurance and fidelity bonds for employees employed to perform services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may, but shall not be deemed required to, provide insurance for any improvements installed by Tenant or that are in addition to the standard improvements customarily furnished by Landlord, without regard to whether or not such are made a part of or are affixed to the Building. Such insurance, if placed by Landlord, is not intended to replace any coverage required to be maintained by Tenant in Section 23.5 herein.

 

23.2.                     In addition, Landlord shall carry commercial general liability insurance with limits of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence and in the aggregate for bodily injury (including death), or property damage with respect to the Project.

 

23.3.                     Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, procure and maintain in effect, beginning on the Term Commencement Date or the date of occupancy, whichever occurs first, and continuing throughout the Term (and occupancy by Tenant, if any, after termination of this Lease) commercial general liability insurance with limits of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence and in the aggregate for bodily injury (including death) and for property damage arising from Tenant’s use of the Premises (including $100,000 fire legal liability (each loss)); and pollution and environmental liability insurance covering the environmental risks of Tenant’s business with limits of not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) per occurrence and not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in the aggregate, with respect to environmental contamination and pollution of the Premises or any adjacent or adjoining properties caused by Tenant.

 

23.4.                     The insurance required to be purchased and maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall name Landlord, BioMed Realty, L.P., BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, general partners, members, subsidiaries, affiliates and Lenders (“Landlord Parties”) as additional insureds as respects liability arising from Tenant’s use of the Premises. Said insurance shall be with companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Project is located and having a rating of not less than policyholder rating of A and financial category rating of at least Class XII in A.M. Best’s Insurance Ratings Guide — current edition. Tenant shall provide Landlord with certificates of insurance and any endorsements required herein including additional insured, waiver of subrogation and notice of cancellation. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification or cancellation except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord from the insurer (except in the event of non-payment of premium, in which case ten (10) days written notice shall be given). All such policies shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with and not in excess of the coverage that Landlord may carry. Tenant’s policy must include dedicated limits or

 

31

 

a per project aggregate that specifically provides that the amount of insurance shall not be prejudiced by losses at other properties covered by the policy. Tenant shall, at least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewal certificates of insurance or binders evidencing the coverages required herein. Tenant agrees that if Tenant does not take out and maintain such insurance, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) procure said insurance on Tenant’s behalf and at its cost to be paid by Tenant as Additional Rent.

 

23.5.                     Subject to Sections 23.3, 23.7 and 28.1, Tenant assumes the risk of damage to any fixtures, goods, inventory, merchandise, equipment and leasehold improvements. Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable for injury to Tenant’s business or any loss of income therefrom, or any other form of special, consequential or punitive damages relative to any damage to any fixtures, goods, inventory, merchandise, equipment and leasehold improvements. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, carry such insurance as Tenant desires for Tenant’s protection with respect to personal property of Tenant or business interruption.

 

23.6.                     In each instance where insurance is to name Landlord Parties as additional insureds, Tenant shall, upon Landlord’s written request, also designate and furnish certificates evidencing such Landlord Parties as additional insureds to (a) any Lender of Landlord holding a security interest in the Building, the Property or the Project, (b) the landlord under any lease whereunder Landlord is a tenant of the Property if the interest of Landlord is or shall become that of a tenant under a ground lease rather than that of a fee owner and (c) any management company retained by Landlord to manage the Project.

 

23.7.                     Landlord, Tenant and each of their insurers agree to waive all rights of subrogation against one another as respects any loss, damage, claims, suits or demands, howsoever caused, that are covered, or should have been covered, by valid and collectible insurance, including any deductibles or self-insurance maintained there under. If necessary, each party agrees to endorse the required insurance policies to permit waivers of subrogation as required hereunder and hold harmless and indemnify the other party for any loss or expense incurred as a result of a failure to obtain such waivers of subrogation from insurers. If such release of either Landlord or Tenant, shall contravene Applicable Laws, then the liability of the party in question shall be deemed not released but shall be secondary to the other party’s insurer.

 

23.8.                     Landlord may require insurance policy limits required under this Lease to be reasonably raised to conform with requirements of Landlord’s Lender or to bring coverage limits to reasonable levels then being required of new tenants within the Project.

 

23.9.                     Any costs incurred by Landlord pursuant to this Article shall constitute a portion of Operating Expenses.

 

24.                               Damage or Destruction.

 

24.1.                     In the event of a partial destruction of (a) the Premises or (b) Common Areas of the Building or the Project ((a) and (b) together, the “Affected Areas”) by fire or other perils covered by extended coverage insurance not exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable value thereof, and provided that (x) the damage thereto is such that the Affected Areas

 

32

 

may be repaired, reconstructed or restored within a period of six (6) months from the date of the happening of such casualty, (y) Landlord shall receive insurance proceeds sufficient to cover the cost of such repairs (except for any deductible amount provided by Landlord’s policy, which deductible amount, if paid by Landlord, shall constitute an Operating Expense) and (z) such casualty was not intentionally caused by Tenant or its employees, agents or contractors, then Landlord shall commence and proceed diligently with the work of repair, reconstruction and restoration of the Affected Areas and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.

 

24.2.                     In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Building or the Project more severe than as described in Section 24.1, Landlord may elect to repair, reconstruct and restore the Building or the Project, as applicable, in which case this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If Landlord elects not to repair the Building or the Project, as applicable, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such damage or destruction.

 

24.3.                     Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days following the date of damage or destruction of its election not to repair, reconstruct or restore the Building or the Project, as applicable.

 

24.4.                     Upon any termination of this Lease under any of the provisions of this Article, the parties shall be released thereby without further obligation to the other from the date possession of the Premises is surrendered to Landlord, except with regard to (a) items occurring prior to the damage or destruction and (b) provisions of this Lease that, by their express terms, survive the expiration or earlier termination hereof.

 

24.5.                     In the event of repair, reconstruction and restoration as provided in this Article, all Rent to be paid by Tenant under this Lease shall be abated proportionately based on the extent to which Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired during the period of such repair, reconstruction or restoration, unless Landlord provides Tenant with other space during the period of repair that, in Tenant’s reasonable opinion, is suitable for the temporary conduct of Tenant’s business; provided, however, that the amount of such abatement shall be reduced by the proceeds of business interruption or loss of rental income insurance actually received by Tenant with respect to the Premises.

 

24.6.                     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article, should Landlord be delayed or prevented from completing the repair, reconstruction or restoration of the damage or destruction to the Premises after the occurrence of such damage or destruction by Force Majeure, then the time for Landlord to commence or complete repairs shall be extended on a day-for-day basis; provided, however, that, should any Force Majeure event endure for longer than ninety (90) days, at Landlord’s election, Landlord shall be relieved of its obligation to make such repair, reconstruction or restoration.

 

24.7.                     If Landlord is obligated to or elects to repair, reconstruct or restore as herein provided, then Landlord shall be obligated to make such repair, reconstruction or restoration only with regard to (a) those portions of the Premises that were originally provided at Landlord’s expense, (b) those portions of the Premises constructed using the TI Allowance but only to the extent that insurance proceeds are received to repair, reconstruct or restore the same, and (c) the

 

33

 

Common Area portion of the Affected Areas. Except as otherwise provided in (b) above, the repair, reconstruction or restoration of improvements not originally provided by Landlord or at Landlord’s expense shall be the obligation of Tenant. In the event Tenant has elected to upgrade certain improvements from those provided as part of the initial Tenant Improvements installed pursuant to the Work Letter, Landlord shall, upon the need for replacement due to an insured loss, provide only the portion of the Tenant Improvements paid for utilizing the TI Allowance, unless Tenant again elects to complete all of the initial Tenant Improvements or upgrade such improvements and pay any incremental costs related thereto, except to the extent that excess insurance proceeds, if received, are adequate to provide for the repair and reconstruction of all of the initial Tenant Improvements or any further upgrades, in addition to providing for basic repair, reconstruction and restoration of the Premises, the Building and the Project.

 

24.8.                     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises if the damage resulting from any casualty covered under this Article occurs during the last twenty-four (24) months of the Term or any extension hereof, or to the extent that insurance proceeds are not available therefor.

 

24.9.                     Landlord’s obligation, should it elect or be obligated to repair or rebuild, shall be limited to the Affected Areas. Tenant shall, at its expense, replace or fully repair all of Tenant’s personal property and any Alterations installed by Tenant existing at the time of such damage or destruction. If Affected Areas are to be repaired in accordance with the foregoing, Landlord shall make available to Tenant any portion of insurance proceeds it receives that are allocable to the Alterations constructed by Tenant pursuant to this Lease; provided Tenant is not then in default under this Lease, and subject to the requirements of any Lender of Landlord.

 

25.                               Eminent Domain.

 

25.1.                     In the event (a) the whole of all Affected Areas or (b) such part thereof as shall substantially interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted Use shall be taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by exercise of the right of appropriation, condemnation or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking, Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to said authority, except with regard to (y) items occurring prior to the damage or destruction and (z) provisions of this Lease that, by their express terms, survive the expiration or earlier termination hereof.

 

25.2.                     In the event of a partial taking of (a) the Building or the Project or (b) drives, walkways or parking areas serving the Building or the Project for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by exercise of right of appropriation, condemnation, or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking, then, without regard to whether any portion of the Premises occupied by Tenant was so taken, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease (except with regard to (a) items occurring prior to the damage or destruction and (b) provisions of this Lease that, by their express terms, survive the expiration or earlier termination hereof) as of such taking if such taking is, in Landlord’s sole opinion, of a material nature such as to make

 

34

 

it uneconomical to continue use of the unappropriated portion for purposes of renting office or laboratory space.

 

25.3.                     Tenant shall be entitled to any award that is specifically awarded as compensation for (a) the taking of Tenant’s personal property that was installed at Tenant’s expense and (b) the costs of Tenant moving to a new location. Except as set forth in the previous sentence, any award for such taking shall be the property of Landlord.

 

25.4.                     If, upon any taking of the nature described in this Article, this Lease continues in effect, then Landlord shall promptly proceed to restore the Affected Areas to substantially their same condition prior to such partial taking. To the extent such restoration is infeasible, as determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion, the Rent shall be decreased proportionately to reflect the loss of any portion of the Premises no longer available to Tenant.

 

26.                               Surrender.

 

26.1.                     At least ten (10) days prior to Tenant’s surrender of possession of any part of the Premises, Tenant shall provide Landlord with (a) a facility decommissioning and Hazardous Materials closure plan for the Premises (“Exit Survey”) prepared by an independent third party reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (b) written evidence of all appropriate governmental releases obtained by Tenant in accordance with Applicable Laws, including laws pertaining to the surrender of the Premises. In addition, Tenant agrees to remain responsible after the surrender of the Premises for the remediation of any recognized environmental conditions set forth in the Exit Survey and compliance with any recommendations set forth in the Exit Survey. Tenant’s obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

 

26.2.                     No surrender of possession of any part of the Premises shall release Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder, unless such surrender is accepted in writing by Landlord.

 

26.3.                     The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant shall not effect a merger with Landlord’s fee title or leasehold interest in the Premises, the Building, the Property or the Project, unless Landlord consents in writing, and shall, at Landlord’s option, operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all subleases.

 

26.4.                     The voluntary or other surrender of any ground or other underlying lease that now exists or may hereafter be executed affecting the Building or the Project, or a mutual cancellation thereof or of Landlord’s interest therein by Landlord and its lessor shall not effect a merger with Landlord’s fee title or leasehold interest in the Premises, the Building or the Property and shall, at the option of the successor to Landlord’s interest in the Building or the Project, as applicable, operate as an assignment of this Lease.

 

27.                               Holding Over.

 

27.1.                     If, with Landlord’s prior written consent, Tenant holds possession of all or any part of the Premises after the Term, Tenant shall become a tenant from month to month after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and in such case Tenant shall continue to pay (a) Base Rent in accordance with Article 7, as adjusted in accordance with Article 8, and (b) any

 

35

 

amounts for which Tenant would otherwise be liable under this Lease if the Lease were still in effect, including payments for Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses. Any such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant and agreement contained herein.

 

27.2.                     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term without Landlord’s prior written consent, (a) Tenant shall become a tenant at sufferance subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the monthly rent shall be equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent in effect during the last thirty (30) days of the Term, plus one hundred percent (100%) of the Additional Rent then in effect, and (b) Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any and all damages suffered by Landlord as a result of such holdover, including any lost rent or consequential, special and indirect damages.

 

27.3.                     Acceptance by Landlord of Rent after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall not result in an extension, renewal or reinstatement of this Lease.

 

27.4.                     The foregoing provisions of this Article are in addition to and do not affect Landlord’s right of reentry or any other rights of Landlord hereunder or as otherwise provided by Applicable Laws.

 

28.                               Indemnification and Exculpation.

 

28.1.                     Subject to the provisions of Section 23.7, Tenant agrees to indemnify, save, defend (at Landlord’s option and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold the Landlord Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Claims arising from (a) injury or death to any person or damage to any property occurring within the Premises, the Building, the Property or the Project arising directly or indirectly out of Tenant’s or Tenant’s employees’, agents’, contractors’ or invitees’ use or occupancy of the Premises, (b) a breach or default by Tenant in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder, and (c) events which were caused as a result of Tenant’s use of non-union labor for the performance of the Tenant Improvements or Alterations, in each case ((a)-(c)) except to the extent caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct. Subject to Sections 23.7 and 28.2 and any subrogation provisions contained in the Work Letter, Landlord agrees to indemnify, save, defend (at Tenant’s option and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Tenant) and hold Tenant and its owners, directors, affiliates, employees, agents and contractors (collectively, “Tenant Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all Claims arising from injury or death to any person or damage to any property occurring within or about the Premises, the Building, the Property or the Project to the extent arising out of (a) Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (b) a breach or default by Landlord in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder.

 

28.2.                     Subject to the provisions of Section 23.7, but otherwise notwithstanding any provision of Section 28.1 to the contrary, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant assumes all risk of, damage to personal property or scientific research, including loss of records kept by Tenant within the Premises and damage or losses caused by fire, electrical malfunction, gas explosion or water damage of any type (including broken water lines, malfunctioning fire sprinkler systems, roof leaks or stoppages of lines), unless any such loss is due to Landlord’s

 

36

 

willful disregard of written notice by Tenant of need for a repair that Landlord is responsible to make for an unreasonable period of time. Tenant further waives any claim for injury to Tenant’s business or loss of income relating to any such damage or destruction of personal property as described in this Section.

 

28.3.                     Landlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act, omission or neglect of any other tenant in the Building or the Project, or of any other third party.

 

28.4.                     Tenant acknowledges that security devices and services, if any, while intended to deter crime, may not in given instances prevent theft or other criminal acts. Landlord shall not be liable for injuries or losses caused by criminal acts of third parties, and Tenant assumes the risk that any security device or service may malfunction or otherwise be circumvented by a criminal. If Tenant desires protection against such criminal acts, then Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, obtain appropriate insurance coverage.

 

28.5.                     The provisions of this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

29.                               Assignment or Subletting.

 

29.1.                     Except as hereinafter expressly permitted, Tenant shall not, either voluntarily or by operation of Applicable Laws, directly or indirectly sell, hypothecate, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer this Lease, or sublet the Premises (each, a “Transfer”), without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord, in all instances, shall respond to any request for consent within ten (10) business days. If Landlord does not respond within such period, Landlord’s consent shall be deemed denied. In no event shall Tenant perform a Transfer to or with an entity that is a tenant at the Project or that is in discussions or negotiations with Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord to lease premises at the Project unless (a) Tenant notifies Landlord of Tenant’s desire to do so and (b) Landlord fails to notify Tenant within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice that Landlord can accommodate such tenant or potential tenant’s space needs in the Building.

 

29.2.                     In the event Tenant desires to effect a Transfer, then, at least thirty (30) but not more than ninety (90) days prior to the date when Tenant desires the assignment or sublease to be effective (the “Transfer Date”), Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord (the “Transfer Notice”) containing information (including references) concerning the character of the proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee; the Transfer Date; any ownership or commercial relationship between Tenant and the proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee; and the consideration and all other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, all in such detail as Landlord shall reasonably require.

 

29.3.                     Landlord, in determining whether consent should be given to a proposed Transfer, may give consideration to (a) the financial strength of such transferee, assignee or sublessee (notwithstanding Tenant remaining liable for Tenant’s performance), (b) any change in use that such transferee, assignee or sublessee proposes to make in the use of the Premises and (c) Landlord’s desire, if applicable, to exercise its rights under Section 29.8 to cancel this Lease. In

 

37

 

no event shall Landlord be deemed to be unreasonable for declining to consent to a Transfer to a transferee, assignee or sublessee of poor reputation, lacking financial qualifications or seeking a change in the Permitted Use, or jeopardizing directly or indirectly the status of Landlord or any of Landlord’s affiliates as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Revenue Code”). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, (w) no Transfer shall be consummated on any basis such that the rental or other amounts to be paid by the occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on the income or profits derived by the business activities of such occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee; (x) Tenant shall not furnish or render any services to an occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee with respect to whom transfer consideration is required to be paid, or manage or operate the Premises or any capital additions so transferred, with respect to which transfer consideration is being paid; (y) Tenant shall not consummate a Transfer with any person in which Landlord owns an interest, directly or indirectly (by applying constructive ownership rules set forth in Section 856(d)(5) of the Revenue Code); and (z) Tenant shall not consummate a Transfer with any person or in any manner that could cause any portion of the amounts received by Landlord pursuant to this Lease or any sublease, license or other arrangement for the right to use, occupy or possess any portion of the Premises to fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Revenue Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto or which could cause any other income of Landlord to fail to qualify as income described in Section 856(c)(2) of the Revenue Code.

 

29.4.                     As conditions precedent to Tenant subleasing the Premises or to Landlord considering a request by Tenant to Tenant’s transfer of rights or sharing of the Premises, Landlord may require any or all of the following:

 

(a)                                 Tenant shall remain fully liable under this Lease during the unexpired Term;

 

(b)                                 Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence respecting the relevant business experience and financial statements of the proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee;

 

(c)                                  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s actual costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements incurred in connection with the review, processing and documentation of such request, such reimbursement not to exceed the lesser of actual costs or two thousand dollars ($2,000);

 

(d)                                 If Tenant’s transfer of rights or sharing of the Premises provides for the receipt by, on behalf of or on account of Tenant of any consideration of any kind whatsoever (including a premium rental for a sublease or lump sum payment for an assignment, but excluding Tenant’s reasonable costs in marketing and subleasing the Premises and excluding any consideration received for the value of Tenant’s business or personal property) in excess of the rental and other charges due to Landlord under this Lease, Tenant shall pay fifty percent (50%) of all of such excess to Landlord, after making deductions for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such transfer, including any reasonable marketing expenses, tenant improvement funds expended by Tenant, alterations, cash concessions, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees

 

38

 

and free rent actually paid by or allowed Tenant. If said consideration consists of cash paid to Tenant, payment to Landlord shall be made upon receipt by Tenant of such cash payment;

 

(e)                                  The proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee shall agree that, in the event Landlord gives such proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee notice that Tenant is in default under this Lease, such proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee shall thereafter make all payments otherwise due Tenant directly to Landlord, which payments shall be received by Landlord without any liability being incurred by Landlord, except to credit such payment against those due by Tenant under this Lease, and any such proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee shall agree to attorn to Landlord or its successors and assigns should this Lease be terminated for any reason; provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord or its Lenders, successors or assigns be obligated to accept such attornment;

 

(f)                                   Landlord’s consent to any such Transfer shall be effected on Landlord’s forms;

 

(g)                                  Tenant shall not then be in default hereunder in any respect;

 

(h)                                 Such proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee’s use of the Premises shall be permitted within the Permitted Use;

 

(i)                                     Landlord shall not be bound by any provision of any agreement pertaining to the Transfer, except for Landlord’s written consent to the same;

 

(j)                                    Tenant shall pay all transfer and other taxes (including interest and penalties) assessed or payable for any Transfer;

 

(k)                                 Landlord’s consent (or waiver of its rights) for any Transfer shall not waive Landlord’s right to consent to any later Transfer;

 

(1)                                 Tenant shall deliver to Landlord one executed copy of any and all written instruments evidencing or relating to the Transfer; and

 

(m)                             A list of Hazardous Materials (as defined in Section 21.7), certified by the proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee to be true and correct, that the proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee intends to use or store in the Premises. Additionally, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, on or before the date any proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee takes occupancy of the Premises, all of the items relating to Hazardous Materials of such proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee as described in Section 21.2.

 

29.5.                     Any Transfer that is not in compliance with the provisions of this Article shall be void and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate this Lease.

 

29.6.                     The consent by Landlord to a Transfer shall not relieve Tenant or proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee from obtaining Landlord’s consent to any further Transfer, nor shall it release Tenant or any proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee of Tenant from full and primary liability under this Lease.

 

39

 

29.7.                     Notwithstanding any Transfer, Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable for the payment of all Rent and other sums due or to become due hereunder, and for the full performance of all other terms, conditions and covenants to be kept and performed by Tenant. The acceptance of Rent or any other sum due hereunder, or the acceptance of performance of any other term, covenant or condition thereof, from any person or entity other than Tenant shall not be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of this Lease or a consent to any Transfer.

 

29.8.                     If Tenant delivers to Landlord a Transfer Notice indicating a desire to transfer this Lease to a proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee and if such Transfer is both (a) for over fifty percent (50%) of the Premises and (b) for more than fifty percent (50%) of the remainder of the Term, then Landlord shall have the option, exercisable by giving notice to Tenant at any time within ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of such Transfer Notice, to recapture the space that is the subject of such Transfer Notice for the balance of the Term as of the date specified in the Transfer Notice as the Transfer Date, except for those provisions that, by their express terms, survive the expiration or earlier termination hereof. If Landlord exercises such option, then Tenant shall have the right to withdraw such Transfer Notice by delivering to Landlord written notice of such election within ten (10) days after Landlord’s delivery of notice electing to exercise Landlord’s option to terminate this Lease. In the event Tenant withdraws the Transfer Notice as provided in this Section, such space shall not be recaptured by Landlord and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. No failure of Landlord to exercise its option to recapture such space shall be deemed to be Landlord’s consent to a proposed Transfer.

 

29.9.                     If Tenant sublets the Premises or any portion thereof, Tenant hereby immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, all rent from any such subletting, and appoints Landlord as assignee and attorney-in-fact for Tenant, and Landlord (or a receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord’s application) may collect such rent and apply it toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; provided that, until the occurrence of a Default (as defined below) by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent.

 

29.10.              Notwithstanding Section 29.1, Tenant shall have the right to Transfer without Landlord’s prior written consent the Premises or any part thereof to (a) any person that as of the date of determination and at all times thereafter directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant (“Tenant’s Affiliate”), (b) in connection with the sale of substantially all of Tenant’s assets, (c) a sale of the stock ownership interests of Tenant, (d) a merger of Tenant (regardless of the survivor of such merger) and (e) any similar entity level transaction effecting directly or indirectly the conveyance of Tenant’s business; provided that Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing at least ten (10) days prior to the effectiveness of any such Transfer (an “Exempt Transfer”) and otherwise comply with the requirements of this Lease regarding such Transfer. For purposes of the definition of Tenant’s Affiliate, “control” requires both (i) owning (directly or indirectly) more than fifty percent (50%) of the stock or other equity interests of another person and (ii) possessing, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person.

 

40

 

30.                               Subordination and Attornment.

 

30.1.                     This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, or lease in which Landlord is tenant now or hereafter in force against the Building or the Project and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof (collectively, “Mortgage”) without the necessity of the execution and delivery of any further instruments on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination.

 

30.2.                     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall execute and deliver upon demand such further instrument or instruments evidencing such subordination of this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage or mortgages or deeds of trust or lease in which Landlord is tenant as may be required by Landlord. If any such mortgagee, beneficiary or landlord under a lease wherein Landlord is tenant (each, a “Mortgagee”) so elects, however, this Lease shall be deemed prior in lien to any such lease, mortgage, or deed of trust upon or including the Premises regardless of date and Tenant shall execute a statement in writing to such effect at Landlord’s request. If Tenant fails to execute any document required from Tenant under this Section within ten (10) days after written request therefor, Tenant hereby constitutes and appoints Landlord or its special attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any such document or documents in the name of Tenant. Such power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

 

30.3.                     Upon written request of Landlord and opportunity for Tenant to review, Tenant agrees to execute any Lease amendments not materially altering the terms of this Lease, if required by a mortgagee or beneficiary of a deed of trust encumbering real property of which the Premises constitute a part incident to the financing of the real property of which the Premises constitute a part.

 

30.4.                     In the event any proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by Landlord covering the Premises, Tenant shall at the election of the purchaser at such foreclosure or sale attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease.

 

30.5.                     The subordination and attornment provisions of this Article are conditioned upon Tenant and the holder of any current or future Mortgagee executing a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in reasonable form.

 

31.                               Defaults and Remedies.

 

31.1.                     Late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent and other sums due shall cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which shall be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within five (5) days after the date such payment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (a) an additional sum of five percent (5%) of the overdue Rent as a late charge plus (b) interest at an annual rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (a) twelve percent (12%) and

 

41

 

(b) the highest rate permitted by Applicable Laws. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord shall incur by reason of late payment by Tenant and shall be payable as Additional Rent to Landlord due with the next  installment of Rent or within five (5) business days after Landlord’s demand, whichever is earlier. Landlord’s acceptance of any Additional Rent (including a late charge or any other amount hereunder) shall not be deemed an extension of the date that Rent is due or prevent Landlord from pursuing any other rights or remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not assess a late charge in accordance with this Section 31.1 for the first late payment in any twelve (12) month period.

 

31.2.                     No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent payment herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease or in equity or at law. If a dispute shall arise as to any amount or sum of money to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall have the right to make payment “under protest,” such payment shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment, and there shall survive the right on the part of Tenant to institute suit for recovery of the payment paid under protest.

 

31.3.                     If Tenant fails to pay any sum of money required to be paid by it hereunder, or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder, in each case within the applicable cure period (if any) described in Section 31.4, then Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, but shall not be obligated to, make such payment or perform such act; provided that such failure by Tenant unreasonably interfered with the use of the Building or the Project by any other tenant or with the efficient operation of the Building or the Project, or resulted or could have resulted in a violation of Applicable Laws or the cancellation of an insurance policy maintained by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises and act in accordance with its rights as provided elsewhere in this Lease. In addition to the late charge described in Section 31.1, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent all sums so paid or incurred by Landlord, together with interest at the Default Rate, computed from the date such sums were paid or incurred.

 

31.4.                     The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a “Default” hereunder by Tenant:

 

(a)                                 Tenant abandons or vacates the Premises and fails to provide adequate access control for the Premises;

 

(b)                                 Tenant fails to make any payment of Rent, as and when due, or to satisfy its obligations under Article 19, where such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) business days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant;

 

42

 

(c)                                  Tenant fails to observe or perform any obligation or covenant contained herein (other than described in Subsections 31.4(a) and 31.4(b)) to be performed by Tenant, where such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided that, if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that it reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days to cure, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in Default if Tenant commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion; and provided, further, that such cure is completed no later than ninety (90) days after Tenant’s receipt of written notice from Landlord;

 

(d)                                 Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors;

 

(e)                                  A receiver, trustee or custodian is appointed to or does take title, possession or control of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets;

 

(f)                                   Tenant files a voluntary petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Bankruptcy Code”) or an order for relief is entered against Tenant pursuant to a voluntary or involuntary proceeding commenced under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code;

 

(g)                                  Any involuntary petition is filed against Tenant under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code and is not dismissed within one hundred twenty (120) days;

 

(h)                                 Tenant fails to deliver an estoppel certificate in accordance with Article 20; or

 

(i)                                     Tenant’s interest in this Lease is attached, executed upon or otherwise judicially seized and such action is not released within one hundred twenty (120) days of the action.

 

Notices given under this Section shall specify the alleged default and shall demand that Tenant perform the provisions of this Lease or pay the Rent that is in arrears, as the case may be, within the applicable period of time, or quit the Premises. No such notice shall be deemed a forfeiture or a termination of this Lease unless Landlord elects otherwise in such notice.

 

31.5.                     In the event of a Default by Tenant, and at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy that Landlord may have, Landlord has the right to do any or all of the following:

 

(a)                                 Halt any Tenant Improvements and Alterations and order Tenant’s contractors, subcontractors, consultants, designers and material suppliers to stop work;

 

(b)                                 Terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by written notice to Tenant or by any lawful means, in which case Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event, Landlord shall have the immediate right to re-enter and remove all persons and property, and such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant, all without service of notice or

 

43

 

resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage that may be occasioned thereby; and

 

(c)                                  Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event, Landlord shall have the immediate right to re-enter and remove all persons and property, and such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant, all without service of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage that may be occasioned thereby. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease, then Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default, including:

 

(i)                                             The worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent that had accrued at the time of such termination; plus

 

(ii)                                          The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that would have accrued during the period commencing with termination of the Lease and ending at the time of award exceeds that portion of the loss of Landlord’s rental income from the Premises that Tenant proves to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction 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 Term after the time of award exceeds that portion of the loss of Landlord’s rental income from the Premises that Tenant proves to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction could have been reasonably avoided; plus

 

(iv)                                      Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or that in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including the cost of restoring the Premises to the condition required under the terms of this Lease, including any rent payments not otherwise chargeable to Tenant (e.g., during any “free” rent period or rent holiday); plus

 

(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 Laws.

 

As used in Subsections 31.5(c)(i) and 31.5(c)(ii), “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Default Rate. As used in Subsection 31.5(c)(iii), the “worth at the time of the award” shall be computed by taking the present value of such amount, using the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award plus one (1) percentage point.

 

31.6.                     In addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity and under this Lease, Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 and may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s Default and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, provided Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. In addition, Landlord shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for its

 

44

 

failure or refusal to relet the Premises. For purposes of this Section, the following acts by Landlord will not constitute the termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises:

 

(a)                                         Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises, including alterations, remodeling, redecorating, repairs, replacements or painting as Landlord shall consider advisable for the purpose of reletting the Premises or any part thereof; or

 

(b)                                         The appointment of a receiver upon the initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease or in the Premises.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Default by Tenant, Landlord may elect at any time to terminate this Lease and to recover damages to which Landlord is entitled.

 

31.7.                     If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 31.5, then Landlord may, from time to time, recover all Rent as it becomes due under this Lease. At any time thereafter, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease and to recover damages to which Landlord is entitled.

 

31.8.                     In the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease and relet the Premises, Landlord may execute any new lease in its own name. Tenant hereunder shall have no right or authority whatsoever to collect any Rent from such tenant. The proceeds of any such reletting shall be applied as follows:

 

(a)                                 First, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord, including storage charges or brokerage commissions owing from Tenant to Landlord as the result of such reletting;

 

(b)                                 Second, to the payment of the costs and expenses of reletting the Premises, including (i) alterations and repairs that Landlord deems reasonably necessary and advisable and (ii) reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements incurred by Landlord in connection with the retaking of the Premises and such reletting;

 

(c)                                  Third, to the payment of Rent and other charges due and unpaid hereunder; and

 

(d)                                 Fourth, to the payment of future Rent and other damages payable by Tenant under this Lease.

 

31.9.                     All of Landlord’s rights, options and remedies hereunder shall be construed and held to be nonexclusive and cumulative. Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or all of such remedies, or any other remedy or relief that may be provided by Applicable Laws, whether or not stated in this Lease. No waiver of any default of Tenant hereunder shall be implied from any acceptance by Landlord of any Rent or other payments due hereunder or any omission by Landlord to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect defaults other than as specified in said waiver.

 

45

 

31.10.              Landlord’s termination of (a) this Lease or (b) Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises shall not relieve Tenant of any liability to Landlord that has previously accrued or that shall arise based upon events that occurred prior to the later to occur of (i) the date of Lease termination or (ii) the date Tenant surrenders possession of the Premises.

 

31.11.              To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, Tenant waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future Applicable Laws if Tenant is evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or if Landlord obtains possession of the Premises due to Tenant’s default hereunder or otherwise.

 

31.12.              Landlord shall not be in default or liable for damages under this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event shall such failure continue for more than thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant specifying the nature of Landlord’s failure; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate or cancel this Lease or to withhold or abate rent or to set off any Claims against Rent as a result of any default or breach by Landlord of any of its covenants, obligations, representations, warranties or promises hereunder, except as may otherwise be expressly set forth in this Lease.

 

31.13.              In the event of any default by Landlord, Tenant shall give notice by registered or certified mail to any (a) beneficiary of a deed of trust or (b) mortgagee under a mortgage covering the Premises, the Building or the Project of which Tenant shall have been given notice and an address (Tenant acknowledges that execution of a subordination and non-disturbance agreement shall constitute notice of the existence and provision of an address for any beneficiary of a deed of trust or a mortgagee), and to any landlord of any lease of land upon or within which the Premises, the Building or the Project is located, and shall offer such beneficiary, mortgagee or landlord a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Building or the Project by power of sale or a judicial action if such should prove necessary to effect a cure; provided that Landlord shall furnish to Tenant in writing or via the execution of a subordination and non-disturbance agreement, the names and addresses of all such persons who are to receive such notices.

 

32.                               Bankruptcy. In the event a debtor, trustee or debtor in possession under the Bankruptcy Code, or another person with similar rights, duties and powers under any other Applicable Laws, proposes to cure any default under this Lease or to assume or assign this Lease and is obliged to provide adequate assurance to Landlord that (a) a default shall be cured, (b) Landlord shall be compensated for its damages arising from any breach of this Lease and (c) future performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall occur, then such adequate assurances shall include any or all of the following, as designated by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion:

 

32.1.                     Those acts specified in the Bankruptcy Code or other Applicable Laws as included within the meaning of “adequate assurance,” even if this Lease does not concern a shopping center or other facility described in such Applicable Laws;

 

46

 

32.2.                     A prompt cash payment to compensate Landlord for any monetary defaults or actual damages arising directly from a breach of this Lease;

 

32.3.                     A cash deposit in an amount at least equal to the then-current amount of the Security Deposit; or

Landlord represents and warrants that no broker or agent has made any representation or warranty relied upon by Landlord in Landlord’s decision to enter into this Lease, other than as contained in this Lease.

 

33.3.                     Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the employment of brokers by Landlord is for the purpose of solicitation of offers of leases from prospective tenants and that no authority is granted to any broker to furnish any representation (written or oral) or warranty from Landlord unless expressly contained within this Lease. Landlord and Tenant are executing this Lease in reliance upon the representations, warranties and agreements contained within Sections 33.1 and 33.2.

 

33.4.                     Tenant agrees to indemnify, save, defend (at Landlord’s option and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold the Landlord Indemnitees harmless from any and all cost or liability for compensation claimed by any broker or agent, other than Brokers, employed or engaged by Tenant or claiming to have been employed or engaged by Tenant. Landlord agrees to indemnify, save, defend (at Tenant’s option and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Tenant) and hold the Tenant Indemnitees harmless from any and all cost or liability for compensation claimed by any broker or agent, other than Brokers, employed or engaged by Landlord or claiming to have been employed or engaged by Landlord.

 

34.                               Definition of Landlord. With regard to obligations imposed upon Landlord pursuant to this Lease, the term “Landlord,” as used in this Lease, shall refer only to Landlord or Landlord’s

51

 

40.9.                     The terms of this Lease are intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement with respect to the terms as are included herein, and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement.

40.16.              This Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same document.

 

40.17.              No provision of this Lease may be modified, amended or supplemented except by an agreement in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant. The waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained.

 

40.18.              To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the parties waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by the other party hereto related to matters arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease; the relationship between Landlord and Tenant;

 

52

 

Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises; or any claim of injury or damage related to this Lease or the Premises.

 

41.                               Option to Extend Term. Tenant shall have the option (“Option”) to extend the Term by thirty-six (36) months as to the entire Premises (and no less than the entire Premises) upon the following terms and conditions. Any extension of the Term pursuant to the Option shall be on all the same terms and conditions as this Lease, except as follows:

 

41.1.                     Base Rent during the extension term shall be equal to the then-current fair market rent for similar premises in similar buildings in the city of San Carlos as of the commencement of the extension term, including annual fair market rent increases (“FMR”), but in no event shall Base Rent be less than the Base Rent prior to the end of the expiration of the initial Term. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the FMR for the extension term within thirty (30) days after the date on which Tenant notifies Landlord that it is exercising the Option, then, no later than an additional thirty (30) days thereafter (the “Submission Period”), Landlord and Tenant shall each furnish to the other a notice in writing (an “FMR Notice”) stating such party’s estimate of the FMR. Such notices shall be accompanied by a statement from a qualified, licensed, third party, unaffiliated real estate appraiser with at least ten (10) years’ experience in the San Carlos/Mid-Peninsula area (an “Appraiser”) stating such Appraiser’s opinion of FMR. If only one (1) party’s Appraiser timely submits its opinion of FMR, such FMR shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant. If, within twenty (20) days after expiration of the Submission Period, Landlord and Tenant still cannot agree on the FMR, the two (2) Appraisers shall appoint a third qualified, licensed, third party, unaffiliated real estate appraiser (the “Referee”) within seven (7) days. If the Appraisers are unable to agree upon the selection of the Referee, then the Referee shall be selected within ten (10) days thereafter from among the Northern California panel of qualified Real Estate Industry Arbitrators of the American Arbitrator Association (the “Association”) pursuant to the Real Estate Industry Arbitration rules of the Association. The Referee shall, within thirty (30) days after appointment, render the Referee’s decision as to the FMR, which opinion shall be strictly limited to choosing one of the two determinations made by the Appraisers. The decision by the Referee shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant, and each shall pay for its own appraisal. The cost of the Referee shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant. In determining FMR, Landlord, Tenant and, if applicable, the Appraisers and Referee shall each take into account all relevant factors, including, without limitation, (a) the size of the Premises and length of the extension term, (b) rent in comparable buildings in the relevant competitive market, including concessions offered to new tenants, such as free rent, tenant improvement allowances, and moving allowances, (c) Tenant’s creditworthiness and (d) the quality, age, amenities and location of the Building and the Project.

 

41.2.                     The Option is not assignable separate and apart from this Lease.

 

41.3.                     The Option is conditional upon Tenant giving Landlord written notice of its election to exercise the Option at least nine (9) months prior to the end of the expiration of the then-current Term. Tenant assumes full responsibility for maintaining a record of the deadlines to exercise the Option. Tenant acknowledges that it would be inequitable to require Landlord to accept any exercise of the Option after the date provided for in this Section.

 

53

 

41.4.                     Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article to the contrary, Tenant shall not have the right to exercise the Option:

 

(a)                                 During the time commencing from the date Landlord delivers to Tenant a written notice that Tenant is in monetary or material non-monetary default under any provisions of this Lease and continuing until Tenant has cured the specified default to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction; or

 

(b)                                 At any time after any monetary or material non-monetary Default as described in Article 31 of the Lease (provided, however, that, for purposes of this Subsection 42.4(b), Landlord shall not be required to provide Tenant with further notice of such monetary or material non-monetary Default) and continuing until Tenant cures any such Default, if such monetary or material non-monetary Default is susceptible to being cured; or

 

(c)                                  In the event that Tenant has defaulted in the performance of its obligations under this Lease four (4) or more times and a service or late charge has become payable under Section 31.1 for each of such defaults during the twelve (12)-month period immediately prior to the date that Tenant intends to exercise the Option, whether or not Tenant has cured such defaults.

 

41.5.                     The period of time within which Tenant may exercise the Option shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise such Option because of the provisions of Section 42.4.

 

41.6.                     All of Tenant’s rights under the provisions of the Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect even after Tenant’s due and timely exercise of the Option if, after such exercise, but prior to the commencement date of the new term, (a) Tenant fails to pay to Landlord a monetary obligation of Tenant for a period of twenty (20) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant, (b) Tenant fails to commence to cure a default (other than a monetary default) within thirty (30) days after the date Landlord gives notice to Tenant of such default or (c) Tenant has defaulted under this Lease four (4) or more times and a service or late charge under Section 31.1 has become payable for any such default, whether or not Tenant has cured such defaults.

 

42.                               Right of First Refusal. During the eighteen (18) month period commencing on the Term Commencement Date, Tenant shall have a right of first refusal (“ROFR”) as to the suite across the hall from the Premises on the fourth (4th) floor of the Building, consisting of approximately eight thousand three hundred eighty-six (8,386) square feet of space, as shown on Exhibit H attached hereto (“ROFR Premises”); provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord be required to lease the ROFR Premises to Tenant for any period past the date on which this Lease expires or is terminated pursuant to its terms and as such if the Notice of Offer contains a term for the ROFR space that extends past the Term Expiration Date then in order to lease the ROFR upon the terms in the Notice of Offer Tenant shall be required to extend the Term with respect to the Premises. In the event Landlord intends to lease the ROFR Premises, Landlord shall provide written notice thereof to Tenant (the “Notice of Offer”), specifying the terms and conditions of a proposed lease to Tenant of the ROFR Premises.

 

54

 

42.1.                     Within five (5) business days following its receipt of a Notice of Offer, Tenant shall advise Landlord in writing whether Tenant elects to lease all (not just a portion) of the ROFR Premises on the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Offer. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord of Tenant’s election within said five (5) business day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have elected not to lease the ROFR Premises.

 

42.2.                     If Tenant timely notifies Landlord that Tenant elects to lease the ROFR Premises on the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Offer, then Landlord shall lease the ROFR Premises to Tenant upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Offer.

 

42.3.                     If Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant elects not to lease the ROFR Premises on the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Offer, or if Tenant fails to notify Landlord of Tenant’s election within the five (5) business day period described above, then Landlord shall have the right to consummate the lease of the ROFR Premises on the same terms as set forth in the Notice of Offer following Tenant’s election (or deemed election) not to lease the ROFR Premises. If after Tenant’s election (or deemed election) not to lease the ROFR Premises, the material economic terms change by more than ten percent (10%) from the initial terms in the Notice of Office, then the ROFR shall be fully reinstated, and Landlord shall not thereafter lease the ROFR Premises without first complying with the procedures set forth in this Article.

 

42.4.                     Notwithstanding anything in this Article to the contrary, Tenant shall not exercise the ROFR during such period of time that Tenant is in monetary or material non-monetary default under any provision of this Lease. Any attempted exercise of the ROFR during a period of time in which Tenant is so in monetary or material non-monetary default shall be void and of no effect. In addition, Tenant shall not be entitled to exercise the ROFR if Landlord has given Tenant four (4) or more notices of default under this Lease, whether or not the defaults are cured, during the twelve (12) month period prior to the date on which Tenant seeks to exercise the ROFR.

 

42.5.                     Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not assign or transfer the ROFR, either separately without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion or in conjunction with an assignment or transfer of Tenant’s interest in the Lease, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent rights shall be as set forth in Article 29.

 

42.6.                     If Tenant exercises the ROFR, Landlord does not guarantee that the ROFR Premises will be available on the anticipated commencement date for the Lease as to such Premises due to a holdover by the then-existing occupants of the ROFR Premises or for any other reason beyond Landlord’s reasonable control.

 

42.7.                     Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, the ROFR shall expire on the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Term Commencement Date.

WORK LETTER

 

This Work Letter (this “Work Letter”) is made and entered into as of the 1st day of August, 2011, by and between BMR-201 INDUSTRIAL ROAD LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and INTREXON CORPORATION, a Virginia corporation (“Tenant”), and is attached to and made a part of that certain Lease dated as of August 1, 2011 (as the same may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Lease”), by and between Landlord and Tenant for the Premises located at 201 Industrial Road, San Carlos, California. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Lease.

 

1.                                      General Requirements.

 

1.1.                            Authorized Representatives.

 

(a)                                 Landlord designates, as Landlord’s authorized representative (“Landlord’s Authorized Representative”), (a) Andrew Richard as the person authorized to initial plans, drawings and approvals pursuant to this Work Letter and (b) John Bonanno as the person authorized to initial plans, drawings, approvals and to sign change orders pursuant to this Work Letter and any amendments to this Work Letter or the Lease. Tenant shall not be obligated to respond to or act upon any such item until such item has been initialed or signed (as applicable) by the appropriate Landlord’s Authorized Representative. Landlord may change either Landlord’s Authorized Representative upon one (1) business day’s prior written notice to Tenant.

 

(b)                                 Tenant designates Steve Karp (“Tenant’s Authorized Representative”) as the person authorized to initial and sign all plans, drawings, change orders and approvals pursuant to this Work Letter. Landlord shall not be obligated to respond to or act upon any such item until such item has been initialed or signed (as applicable) by Tenant’s Authorized Representative. Tenant may change Tenant’s Authorized Representative upon one (1) business day’s prior written notice to Landlord.

 

1.2.                            Schedule. The schedule for design and development of the Tenant Improvements, including the time periods for preparation and review of construction documents, approvals and performance, shall be in accordance with a schedule to be prepared by Tenant which shall incorporate input and suggestions from Landlord (the “Schedule”). Tenant shall prepare the Schedule so that it is a reasonable schedule for the completion of the Tenant Improvements and so that it accommodates all reasonable requests by Landlord which are made in order to coordinate the timing of construction of the Tenant Improvements with the needs of other tenants of the Building and/or Project. As soon as the Schedule is completed, Tenant shall deliver the same to Landlord for Landlord’s approval of the timing of all aspects of construction that will impact other tenants of the Building and/or Project, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Such portions of the Schedule shall be approved or disapproved by Landlord within seven (7) business days after delivery to Landlord. Landlord’s failure to respond within such seven (7) business day period shall be deemed approval by

 

B-1

 

Landlord. If Landlord disapproves certain portions of the Schedule, then Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of its objections to such Schedule, and the parties shall confer and negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the Schedule. The Schedule shall be subject to adjustment as mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties, or as provided in this Work Letter.

 

1.3.                            Tenant’s Architects, Contractors and Consultants. The architect, engineering consultants, design team, general contractor and major subcontractors responsible for the construction of the Tenant Improvements shall be selected by Tenant from the pool of contractors set forth on the pre-approved list of design and construction professionals (“Pre-Approved List”) attached as Schedule 1 to this Work Letter. Landlord shall be permitted to observe the bidding process and shall be permitted to provide input to Tenant which Tenant agrees to take into consideration in its selection of design, engineering and construction professionals. If Tenant desires to utilize an architect, engineer, consultant, designer, general contractor or major subcontractor that is not included on the Pre-Approved List, Tenant shall obtain Landlord approval (which approval Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay) prior to engaging such design professional, consultant or contractor. Other than as set forth in the Pre-Approved List, Landlord may refuse to use any architects, consultants, contractors, subcontractors or material suppliers that Landlord reasonably believes could cause labor disharmony. Subject to the Landlord approval rights set forth above, Tenant shall have the right to use non-union labor to perform the Tenant Improvements; provided however, that Landlord shall not be responsible for any labor disharmony or delays that results from the use of non-union labor. All Tenant contracts related to the Tenant Improvements shall provide that Tenant may assign such contracts to Landlord at any time.

 

2.                                      Tenant Improvements. All Tenant Improvements shall be performed by Tenant’s contractors, at Tenant’s sole and direct cost and expense (subject to Landlord’s obligations with respect to any portion of the TI Allowance) and in accordance with the Approved Plans (as defined below), the Lease and this Work Letter. As part of the Tenant Improvements, with Landlord’s approval, Tenant may locate a Generator (as defined in Section 16.2 of the Lease) at the Project or on the roof of the Building in a location to be agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant during the design of the Tenant Improvements. The cost of maintaining, repairing and replacing the Generator shall be Tenant’s sole responsibility. To the extent that the total projected cost of the Tenant Improvements (as reasonably projected by Tenant) exceeds the TI Allowance (such excess, the “Excess TI Costs”), Tenant shall pay such Excess TI Costs. Tenant shall pay all costs of the Tenant Improvements as such costs become due and Landlord (upon receipt of a Reimbursement Request (as defined in Section 6.3) and the accompanying materials required by Section 6.3) shall reimburse Tenant on a pari passu basis, in the proportion of the TI Allowance payable by Landlord to the total projected costs of the Tenant Improvements. If Tenant fails to pay, or is late in paying, any sum due under this Work Letter, then Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, pay such sums and collect the same from Tenant and shall have all of the rights and remedies set forth in the Lease for nonpayment of Rent (including the right to interest and the right to assess a late charge), and for purposes of any litigation instituted with regard to such amounts the same shall be considered Rent. All material and equipment furnished by Tenant or its contractors as the Tenant Improvements shall be new or “like new;” the Tenant Improvements shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner; and the Tenant Improvements shall be of Class A quality Tenant shall take, and shall require its contractors to take, commercially

 

B-2

 

reasonable steps to protect the Premises during the performance of any Tenant Improvements, including covering or temporarily removing any window coverings so as to guard against dust, debris or damage.

 

2.1.                            Work Plans. Landlord has approved Tenant’s general space plan (“Space Plan”) for the Tenant Improvements, a copy of which is attached to this Work Letter as Schedule 2. Tenant shall prepare and submit to Landlord for approval schematics covering the Tenant Improvements prepared in conformity with the applicable provisions of this Work Letter (the “Draft Schematic Plans”). The Draft Schematic Plans shall contain sufficient information and detail to accurately describe the proposed design to Landlord and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing within seven (7) business days after receipt of the Draft Schematic Plans whether Landlord approves or objects to the Draft Schematic Plans and of the manner, if any, in which the Draft Schematic Plans are unacceptable. Landlord’s failure to respond within such seven (7) business day period shall be deemed approval by Landlord. If Landlord reasonably objects to any draft of the Draft Schematic Plans, then Tenant shall revise the Draft Schematic Plans and cause Landlord’s objections to be remedied in the revised Draft Schematic Plans. Tenant shall then resubmit the revised Draft Schematic Plans to Landlord for approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and such approval of the revised Draft Schematic Plans responding to Landlord’s comments shall be deemed given unless Landlord reasonably objects within three (3) business days after receipt of such revised Draft Schematic Plans. Landlord’s approval of or objection to revised Draft Schematic Plans and Tenant’s correction of the same shall be in accordance with this Section until Landlord has approved the Draft Schematic Plans in writing or been deemed to have approved them. The iteration of the Draft Schematic Plans that is approved or deemed approved by Landlord without objection shall be referred to herein as the “Approved Schematic Plans.”

 

2.2.                            Construction Plans. Tenant shall prepare final plans and specifications for the Tenant Improvements that (a) are consistent with and are logical evolutions of the Approved Schematic Plans and (b) incorporate any other Tenant-requested (and Landlord-approved) Changes (as defined below). As soon as such final plans and specifications (“Construction Plans”) are completed, Tenant shall deliver the same to Landlord for Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Such Construction Plans shall be approved or disapproved by Landlord within seven (7) business days after delivery to Landlord. Landlord’s failure to respond within such seven (7) business day period shall be deemed approval by Landlord. If the Construction Plans are reasonably disapproved by Landlord, then Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of its objections to such Construction Plans, and the parties shall confer and negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the Construction Plans. If subsequent versions of such Construction Plans are submitted in response to Landlord comments, Landlord shall be deemed to approve the same unless Landlord reasonably objects within three (3) business days after receipt thereof. Promptly after the Construction Plans are approved by Landlord and Tenant, two (2) copies of such Construction Plans shall be initialed and dated by Landlord and Tenant, and Tenant shall promptly submit such Construction Plans to all appropriate Governmental Authorities for approval. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, if Landlord has approved drafts or iterations of the Construction Plans prior to the finalization of such plans, Landlord’s pending approval of the finalized Construction Plans

 

B-3

 

shall not prohibit Tenant from submitting such Construction Plans to appropriate Governmental Authorities for approval prior to receipt of Landlord’s approval. Following Landlord’s approval of drafts or iterations of the Construction Plans prior to finalization of such plans, Landlord shall only have the ability to object to previously approved components or details included in subsequent versions of the Construction Plans submitted for its review and approval if Tenant makes modifications which constitute a material departure from the previously approved components or details included in the prior drafts or iterations of the Construction Plans. Landlord shall continue to have reasonable approval rights in its review of new components or details added in to subsequent versions of the Construction Plans. The final drafts of such Construction Plans so approved, and all change orders specifically permitted by this Work Letter, are referred to herein as the “Approved Plans.” Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.3, Tenant shall have the right and responsibility to coordinate the processes of bidding and selection of contractors and consultants, which process, may commence in phases prior to submission and approval of the final draft of the Construction Plans.

 

2.3.                            Changes to the Tenant Improvements. Any changes to the Approved Plans (except for de minimis modifications due to field conditions and other immaterial changes that have only a nominal affect upon the cost of construction) (each, a “Change”) shall be requested and instituted in accordance with the provisions of this Article 2 and shall be subject to the written approval of the non-requesting party in accordance with this Work Letter.

 

(a)                                 Change Request. Either Landlord or Tenant may request Changes after Landlord approves the Approved Plans 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, including (a) the Change, (b) the party required to perform the Change and (c) any modification of the Approved Plans and the Schedule, as applicable, necessitated by the Change. If the nature of a Change requires revisions to the Approved Plans, 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. If the nature of a Change requested by Landlord results in any actual delay in the date of Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements set forth in the Schedule, the number of days of such delay shall constitute a “Landlord Delay” and the Term Commencement Date shall be postponed by such number of days of Landlord Delay. Change Requests shall be signed by the requesting party’s Authorized Representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may only request Changes in order to address design and/or construction conflicts arising with other tenants of the Building and/or Project.

 

(b)                                 Approval 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 five (5) 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. The non-requesting party’s failure to respond within such five (5) business day period shall be deemed approval by the non-requesting party.

 

2.4.                            Preparation of Estimates. Tenant shall, before proceeding with any Change, using commercially reasonable efforts, prepare as soon as is reasonably practicable (but in no event

 

B-4

 

more than five (5) business days after delivering a Change Request to Landlord or receipt of a Change Request) an estimate of the increased costs or savings that would result from such Change, as well as an estimate on such Change’s effects on the Schedule. Landlord shall have five (5) business days after receipt of such information from Tenant to (a) in the case of a Tenant-initiated Change Request, approve or reasonably reject such Change Request in writing (and if Landlord shall fail to so notify Tenant, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such Change Request), or (b) in the case of a Landlord-initiated Change Request, notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s decision either to proceed with or rescind the Landlord-initiated Change Request (and if Landlord shall fail to so notify Tenant, Landlord shall be deemed to have rescinded such Change Request).

 

2.5.                            Review Standards. Landlord shall provide Tenant with one set of consolidated comments in response to each Tenant submission of plans or change requests, accompanied by marked plans and drawings showing its objections. Landlord shall not be permitted submit comments addressing aspects of the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements that are solely stylistic in nature.

 

3.                                      Completion of Tenant Improvements. Tenant, at its sole and direct cost and expense (except for the TI Allowance), shall perform and complete the Tenant Improvements in all respects (a) in substantial conformance with the Approved Plans, (b) otherwise in compliance with provisions of the Lease and this Work Letter and (c) in accordance with Applicable Laws, the requirements of Tenant’s insurance carriers, the requirements of Landlord’s insurance carriers (to the extent Landlord provides its insurance carriers’ requirements to Tenant) and the board of fire underwriters having jurisdiction over the Premises. The Tenant Improvements shall be deemed completed at such time as Tenant shall furnish to Landlord (v) evidence satisfactory to Landlord that (i) all Tenant Improvements have been completed and paid for in full (which shall be evidenced by the architect’s certificate of completion and the general contractor’s and each subcontractor’s and material supplier’s final unconditional waivers and releases of liens, each in a form acceptable to Landlord and complying with Applicable Laws), (ii) all Tenant Improvements have been accepted by Landlord, (iii) any and all liens related to the Tenant Improvements have either been discharged of record (by payment, bond, order of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise) or waived by the party filing such lien and (iv) no security interests relating to the Tenant Improvements are outstanding, (w) all certifications and approvals with respect to the Tenant Improvements that may be required from any Governmental Authority and any board of fire underwriters or similar body for the use and occupancy of the Premises, (x) certificates of insurance required by the Lease to be purchased and maintained by Tenant, (y) an affidavit from Tenant’s architect certifying that all work performed in, on or about the Premises is in accordance with the Approved Plans and (z) complete drawing print sets and electronic CADD files on disc of all contract documents for work performed by their architect and engineers in relation to the Tenant Improvements. If Tenant fails to pay, or is late in paying, any sum due under this Exhibit B, then Landlord may pay such sums and collect the same from Tenant and shall have all of the rights and remedies set forth in the Lease for nonpayment of Rent (including the right to interest and the right to assess a late charge), and for purposes of any litigation instituted with regard to such amounts the same shall be considered Rent.

 

B-5

 

4.                                      Insurance.

 

4.1.                            Property Insurance. At all times during the period beginning with commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements and ending with final completion of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall maintain, or cause to be maintained (in addition to the insurance required of Tenant pursuant to the Lease), property insurance insuring Landlord and the Landlord Parties, as their interests may appear. Such policy shall, on a completed values basis for the full insurable value at all times, insure against loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief and other such risks as are customarily covered by the so-called “broad form extended coverage endorsement” upon all Tenant Improvements and the general contractor’s and any subcontractors’ machinery, tools and equipment, all while each forms a part of, or is contained in, the Tenant Improvements or any temporary structures on the Premises, or is adjacent thereto; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, insurance coverage with respect to the general contractor’s and any subcontractors’ machinery, tools and equipment shall be carried on a primary basis by such general contractor or the applicable subcontractor(s). Tenant agrees to pay any deductible, and Landlord is not responsible for any deductible, for a claim under such insurance. Said property insurance shall contain an express waiver of any right of subrogation by the insurer against Landlord and the Landlord Parties, and shall name Landlord and its affiliates as loss payees as their interests may appear.

 

4.2.                            Workers’ Compensation Insurance. At all times during the period of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall, or shall cause its contractors or subcontractors to, maintain statutory workers’ compensation insurance as required by Applicable Laws.

 

5.                                      Liability. Tenant assumes sole responsibility and liability for any and all injuries or the death of any persons, including Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors and their respective employees, agents and invitees, and for any and all damages to property caused by, resulting from or arising out of any act or omission on the part of Tenant, Tenant’s contractors or subcontractors, or their respective employees, agents and invitees in the prosecution of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant agrees to indemnify, save, defend (at Landlord’s option and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold the Landlord Indemnitees harmless from and against all Claims due to, because of or arising out of any and all such injuries, death or damage, whether real or alleged, and Tenant and Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors shall assume and defend at their sole cost and expense all such Claims; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Work Letter shall be deemed to indemnify or otherwise hold Landlord harmless from or against liability to the extent caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct. Any deficiency in design or construction of the Tenant Improvements shall be solely the responsibility of Tenant, notwithstanding the fact that Landlord may have approved of the same in writing.

 

6.                                      TI Allowance.

 

6.1.                            Application of TI Allowance. Tenant shall pay all applicable contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers directly for the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of the Tenant Improvements, in accordance with Article 4 of the Lease and Article 2 of this Work Letter. Landlord shall not charge Tenant for utilities, other than electricity, supplied to the Premises prior to the Term Commencement Date. Tenant shall use the Reimbursement Request process outlined in Section 6.3 to seek reimbursement from the TI

 

B-6

 

Allowance for such costs and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of the Tenant Improvements. If, prior to the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Term Commencement Date, the entire TI Allowance is not applied toward (a) the costs of the Tenant Improvements, (b) the correction of any defect in the construction of such Tenant Improvements or (c) Changes to the Tenant Improvements, then Tenant shall not be entitled to a credit of such unused portion of the TI Allowance. Tenant may apply the TI Allowance for the payment of construction and other costs in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Lease and this Work Letter.

 

6.2.                            Approval of Budget for the Tenant Improvements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth elsewhere in this Work Letter or the Lease, Landlord shall not have any obligation to expend more than thirty-three percent (33%) of the TI Allowance until Landlord and Tenant shall have approved in writing the budget for the Tenant Improvements (the “Approved Budget”). The Approved Budget shall identify the Excess TI Costs which shall be paid by Tenant and shall establish a pari passu reimbursement ratio for the amount reimbursed by Landlord (as may be adjusted on account of any Changes) in the proportion of the TI Allowance to the total cost of the Tenant Improvements set forth in the Approved Budget (the “Reimbursement Ratio”). Tenant shall pay all of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Tenant Improvements as they become due. Landlord shall not be obligated to reimburse Tenant for costs nor expenses relating to the Tenant Improvements that exceed thirty-three percent (33%) of the TI Allowance prior to Landlord’s approval of the Approved Budget or that exceed the amount of the TI Allowance. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of any budget for Tenant Improvements that is proposed by Tenant.

 

6.3.                            Reimbursement Requests. Upon submission by Tenant to Landlord of (a) a statement (a “Reimbursement Request”) setting forth the total amount of the TI Allowance requested, (b) a summary of the Tenant Improvements performed using AIA standard form Application for Payment (G 702) executed by the general contractor and by the architect, (c) invoices from the general contractor, the architect, and any subcontractors, material suppliers and other parties requesting payment with respect to the amount of the TI Allowance then being requested, (d) unconditional lien releases from the general contractor and each subcontractor and material supplier with respect to the Tenant Improvements performed that correspond to the Reimbursement Request each in a form acceptable to Landlord and complying with Applicable Laws, then Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days following receipt by Landlord of a Reimbursement Request and the accompanying materials required by this Section, pay to Tenant the amount of Tenant Improvement costs set forth in such Reimbursement Request; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to make any payments under this Section until the budget for the Tenant Improvements is approved in accordance with Section 6.2 above, and any Reimbursement Request under this Section shall be subject to the payment limits set forth in Article 2 of this Work Letter, Section 6.2 above and Article 4 of the Lease; and provided further, that Tenant may only submit one Reimbursement Request once every thirty (30) days.

 

6.4.                            Landlord’s Failure to Fund TI Allowance. In the event Landlord fails to disburse any portion of the TI Allowance requested in accordance with Sections 6.2 and 6.3 above, that has not been reasonably contested in writing by Landlord, Tenant may cease construction of the Tenant Improvements until such payment is received, in which case the number of days of any

 

B-7

 

actual delay in the date of Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements set forth in the Schedule caused by such delay in payment shall be a “Landlord Delay” for purposes of the Lease without the need for any notice to Landlord.

 

7.                                      Miscellaneous.

 

7.1.                            Number; Headings. Where applicable in this Work Letter, the singular includes the plural and the masculine or neuter includes the masculine, feminine and neuter.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We establish in favor of Beneficiary our irrevocable and unconditional Letter of Credit numbered as identified above (the “L/C”) for an aggregate amount of $                 , expiring at    :00 p.m. on            or, if such day is not a Banking Day, then the next succeeding Banking Day (such date, as extended from time to time, the “Expiry Date”). “Banking Day” means a weekday except a weekday when commercial banks in                    are authorized or required to close.

 

We authorize Beneficiary to draw on us (the “Issuer”) for the account of                (the “Account Party”), under the terms and conditions of this L/C.

 

Funds under this L/C are available by presenting the following documentation (the “Drawing Documentation”): (a) the original L/C and (b) a sight draft substantially in the form of Attachment 1, with blanks filled in and bracketed items provided as appropriate. No other evidence of authority, certificate, or documentation is required.

 

Drawing Documentation must be presented at Issuer’s office at                      on or before the Expiry Date by personal presentation, courier or messenger service, or fax. Presentation by fax shall be effective upon electronic confirmation of transmission as evidenced by a printed report from the sender’s fax machine. After any fax presentation, but not as a condition to its effectiveness, Beneficiary shall with reasonable promptness deliver the original Drawing Documentation by any other means. Issuer will on request issue a receipt for Drawing Documentation.

 

We agree, irrevocably, and irrespective of any claim by any other person, to honor drafts drawn under and in conformity with this L/C, within the maximum amount of this L/C, presented

 

D-1

 

to us on or before the Expiry Date, provided we also receive (on or before the Expiry Date) any other Drawing Documentation this L/C requires.

 

We shall pay this L/C only from our own funds by check or wire transfer, in compliance with the Drawing Documentation.

 

If Beneficiary presents proper Drawing Documentation to us on or before the Expiry Date, then we shall pay under this L/C at or before the following time (the ‘‘Payment Deadline”): (a) if presentment is made at or before noon of any Banking Day, then the close of such Banking Day; and (b) otherwise, the close of the next Banking Day. We waive any right to delay payment beyond the Payment Deadline. If we determine that Drawing Documentation is not proper, then we shall so advise Beneficiary in writing, specifying all grounds for our determination, within one Banking Day after the Payment Deadline.

 

Partial drawings are permitted. This L/C shall, except to the extent reduced thereby, survive any partial drawings.

 

We shall have no duty or right to inquire into the validity of or basis for any draw under this L/C or any Drawing Documentation. We waive any defense based on fraud or any claim of fraud.

 

The Expiry Date shall automatically be extended by one year (but never beyond            (the “Outside Date”)) unless, on or before the date 90 days before any Expiry Date, we have given Beneficiary notice that the Expiry Date shall not be so extended (a “Nonrenewal Notice”). We shall promptly upon request confirm any extension of the Expiry Date under the preceding sentence by issuing an amendment to this L/C, but such an amendment is not required for the extension to be effective. We need not give any notice of the Outside Date.

 

Beneficiary may from time to time without charge transfer this L/C, in whole but not in part, to any transferee (the “Transferee”). Issuer shall look solely to Account Party for payment of any fee for any transfer of this L/C. Such payment is not a condition to any such transfer. Beneficiary or Transferee shall consummate such transfer by delivering to Issuer the original of this L/C and a Transfer Notice substantially in the form of Attachment 2, purportedly signed by Beneficiary, and designating Transferee. Issuer shall promptly reissue or amend this L/C in favor of Transferee as Beneficiary. Upon any transfer, all references to Beneficiary shall automatically refer to Transferee, who may then exercise all rights of Beneficiary. Issuer expressly consents to any transfers made from time to time in compliance with this paragraph.

 

Any notice to Beneficiary shall be in writing and delivered by hand with receipt acknowledged or by overnight delivery service such as FedEx (with proof of delivery) at the above address, or such other address as Beneficiary may specify by written notice to Issuer. A copy of any such notice shall also be delivered, as a condition to the effectiveness of such notice, to:                    (or such replacement as Beneficiary designates from time to time by written notice).

 

D-2

 

No amendment that adversely affects Beneficiary shall be effective without Beneficiary’s written consent.

 

This L/C is subject to and incorporates by reference: (a) the International Standby Practices 98 (“ISP 98”); and (b) to the extent not inconsistent with ISP 98, Article 5 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York.

 

	
 
    	
Very   truly yours,

Landlord may waive any one or more of these Rules and Regulations for the benefit of Tenant or any other tenant, but no such waiver by Landlord shall be construed as a waiver of such Rules and Regulations in favor of Tenant or any other tenant, nor prevent Landlord from thereafter enforcing any such Rules and Regulations against any or all of the tenants of the Project, including Tenant. These Rules and Regulations are in addition to, and shall not be construed to in any way modify or amend, in whole or in part, the terms covenants, agreements and conditions of the Lease. Landlord reserves the right to make such other and reasonable rules and regulations as, in its judgment, may from time to time be needed for safety and security, the care and cleanliness of the Project, or the preservation of good order therein; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be obligated to adhere to such additional rules or regulations until Landlord has provided Tenant with written notice thereof. Tenant agrees to abide by these Rules and Regulations and any additional rules and regulations issued or adopted by Landlord. Tenant shall be responsible for the observance of these Rules and Regulations by Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors and invitees.

This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of November 21, 2011, by and between Comerica Bank (“Bank”) and GENE SECURITY NETWORK, INC. (“Borrower”).

 

RECITALS

 

Borrower wishes to obtain credit from time to time from Bank, and Bank desires to extend credit to Borrower. This Agreement sets forth the terms on which Bank will advance credit to Borrower, and Borrower will repay the amounts owing to Bank.

 

AGREEMENT

 

The parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                      DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.

 

1.1                               Definitions. As used in this Agreement, all capitalized terms shall have the definitions set forth on Exhibit A. Any term used in the Code and not defined herein shall have the meaning given to the term in the Code.

 

1.2                               Accounting Terms. Any accounting term not specifically defined on Exhibit A shall be construed in accordance with GAAP and all calculations shall be made in accordance with GAAP. The term “financial statements” shall include the accompanying notes and schedules.

 

2.                                      LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

 

2.1                               Credit Extensions.

 

(a)                                 Promise to Pay. Borrower promises to pay to Bank, in lawful money of the United States of America, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions made by Bank to Borrower, together with interest on the unpaid principal amount of such Credit Extensions at rates in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(b)                                 Advances Under Revolving Line.

 

(i)                                     Amount. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including an audit of the Collateral, the results of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Bank, Borrower may request Advances in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the Revolving Line or (B) the Borrowing Base. Except as set forth in the Pricing Addendum, amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) may be repaid and reborrowed at any time without penalty or premium prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, at which time all Advances under this Section 2.1(b) shall be immediately due and payable.

 

(ii)                                  Form of Request. Whenever Borrower desires an Advance, Borrower will notify Bank by facsimile transmission or telephone no later than 3:00 p.m. Pacific time (12:00 p.m. Pacific time for wire transfers), on the Business Day that the Advance is to be made. Each such notification shall be promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in substantially the form of Exhibit C. Bank is authorized to make Advances under this Agreement, based upon instructions received from a Responsible Officer or a designee of a Responsible Officer, or without instructions if in Bank’s discretion such Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due and remain unpaid. Bank shall be entitled to rely on any facsimile or telephonic notice given by a person who Bank reasonably believes to be a Responsible Officer or a designee thereof, and Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Bank as a result of such reliance. Bank will credit the amount of Advances made under this Section 2.1(b) to Borrower’s deposit account.

(c)                                  Growth Capital Advances.

 

(i)                                     Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees to make Growth Capital Advances to Borrower. Borrower may request Growth Capital Advances from the date hereof through the Growth Capital Availability End Date. Each Growth Capital Advance shall be in the minimum amount of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000). The aggregate outstanding amount of Growth Capital Advances shall not exceed the Growth Capital Line. The proceeds of the Growth Capital Advances shall be used for equipment and consumables purchases.

 

(ii)                                  Interest shall accrue from the date of each Growth Capital Advance at the rate specified in Section 2.3(a), and shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.3(c). Any Growth Capital Advances that are outstanding on Growth Capital Availability End Date shall be payable in twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments of principal, plus all accrued but unpaid interest, beginning on April 30, 2013, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter through the Growth Capital Maturity Date, at which time all amounts due under this Section 2.1(c), including but not limited to any part of the Final Payment not previously paid, shall be immediately due and payable. Growth Capital Advances, once repaid, may not be reborrowed. Except as set forth in Section 2.1(c)(iv) and (v), Borrower may prepay any Growth Capital Advances in whole or in part without penalty or premium.

 

(iii)                               When Borrower desires to obtain a Growth Capital Advance, Borrower shall notify Bank (which notice shall be irrevocable) by facsimile transmission to be received no later than 3:00 p.m. Pacific time three (3) Business Days before the day on which the Growth Capital Advance is to be made. Such notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C. The notice shall be signed by a Responsible Officer or its designee. Bank shall be entitled to rely on any facsimile or telephonic notice given by a person who Bank reasonably believes to be a Responsible Officer or a designee thereof, and Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Bank as a result of such reliance.

 

(iv)                              Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Growth Capital Advances advanced by Bank under this Agreement, provided Borrower (i) provides written notice to Bank of its election to prepay the Growth Capital Advances at least ten (10) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays to Bank on the date of such prepayment an amount equal to the sum of (A) all outstanding principal of the Growth Capital Advances plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, (B) the Final Payment, (C) the Prepayment Fee (if then due hereunder), plus (D) all other sums, that shall have become due and payable, including Bank Expenses, if any, and interest at the default rate with respect to any past due amounts.

 

(v)                                 If the Growth Capital Advances are accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank an amount equal to the sum of: (i) all outstanding principal of the Growth Capital Advances plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, (ii) the Final Payment, (iii) the Prepayment Fee (if then due hereunder), plus (iv) all other sums, that shall have become due and payable, including Bank Expenses, if any, and interest at the default rate with respect to any past due amounts.

 

2.2                               Overadvances. If the aggregate amount of the outstanding Advances exceeds the lesser of the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base at any time, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess.

 

2.3                               Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.

 

(a)                                 Interest Rates.

 

(i)                        Advances. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, as set forth in the Pricing Addendum.

 

(ii)                                  Growth Capital Advances. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Growth Capital Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a per annum rate, fixed on

 

2

 

the date of funding of each Growth Capital Advance, equal to the greater of (a) six percent (6.00%) and (b) the sum of (I) the three (3) month U.S. LIBOR rate reported in the Wall Street Journal three (3) Business Days prior to the funding date of such Growth Capital Advance, plus (II) five and seventy one hundredths percent (5.70%).

 

(b)                                 Late Fee; Default Rate. If any payment is not made within 10 days after the date such payment is due, Borrower shall pay Bank a late fee equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the amount of such unpaid amount or (ii) the maximum amount permitted to be charged under applicable law. All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to five (5) percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.

 

(c)                                  Payments. Except as set forth in the Pricing Addendum, interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the 1st calendar day of each month during the term hereof. Bank shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrower’s deposit accounts or against the Revolving Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.

 

(d)                                 Computation. With respect to Obligations bearing interest at the Prime Rate, in the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

2.4                               Crediting Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately apply any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment Bank may receive to conditionally reduce Obligations, but such applications of funds shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon Pacific time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees (other than late fees) or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.

 

2.5                               Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank the following:

 

(a)                                 Growth Capital Line Facility Fee. On the Closing Date, a fee on account of the Growth Capital Line equal to Thirty Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000), which shall be nonrefundable (receipt of which Bank hereby acknowledges);

 

(b)                                 Revolving Line Facility Fee. On the Closing Date and each anniversary thereof, a fee on account of the Revolving Line equal to Eighteen Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($18,750), which shall be nonrefundable;

3.                                      CONDITIONS OF LOANS.

The making of each Credit Extension shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by Borrower on the date of such Credit Extension as to the accuracy of the facts referred to in this Section 3.2.

 

4.                                      CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

 

4.1                      Grant of Security Interest. Borrower grants and pledges to Bank a continuing security interest in the Collateral to secure prompt repayment of any and all Obligations and to secure prompt performance by Borrower of each of its covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. Except as set forth in the Schedule, such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in later-acquired Collateral. Borrower also hereby agrees not to sell, transfer, assign, mortgage, pledge, lease, grant a security interest in, or encumber any of its Intellectual Property, except in connection with Permitted Liens and Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, Bank’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations are outstanding.

 

4.2                            Perfection of Security Interest. Borrower authorizes Bank to file at any time financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that (i) either specifically describe the Collateral or describe the Collateral as all assets of Borrower of the kind pledged hereunder, and (ii) contain any other information required by the Code for the sufficiency of filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment, including whether Borrower is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to Borrower, if applicable. Any such financing statements may be filed by Bank at any time in any jurisdiction whether or not Revised Article 9 of the Code is then in effect in that jurisdiction. Borrower shall from time to time endorse and deliver to Bank, at the request of Bank, all Negotiable Collateral and other documents that Bank may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue perfection of Bank’s security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. Borrower shall have possession of the Collateral, except where expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or where Bank chooses to perfect its security interest by possession in addition to the filing of a financing statement. Where Collateral is in possession of a third party bailee, Borrower shall take such steps as Bank reasonably requests for Bank to (i) obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, of the bailee that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Bank, and (ii) obtain “control” of any Collateral consisting of investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights or electronic chattel paper (as such items and the term “control” are defined in Revised Article 9 of the Code) by causing the securities intermediary or depositary institution or issuing bank to execute a control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Bank. Borrower will not create any chattel paper without placing a legend on the chattel paper acceptable to Bank indicating that Bank has a security interest in the chattel paper. Borrower from time to time may deposit with Bank specific cash collateral to secure specific Obligations; Borrower authorizes Bank to hold such specific balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long as the specific Obligations are outstanding.

 

4.3                               Right to Inspect. Bank (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time during Borrower’s usual business hours but no more than twice a year (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect Borrower’s Books and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in order to verify Borrower’s financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral.

 

4.5                               Lock Box. Commencing with the period not less than thirty (30) days prior to the initial Advance on the Revolving Line and continuing at all times thereafter until the Revolving Line is terminated and Bank has no further obligation to lend thereunder:

 

5

 

(a)                                 Borrower agrees that the Obligations shall be on a “remittance basis”. Borrower shall at its sole expense establish and maintain (and Bank, at Bank’s option, may establish and maintain at Borrower’s expense):

 

(i)                                     A United States Post Office lock box (the “Lock Box”), to which Bank shall have exclusive access and control. Borrower expressly authorizes Bank, from time to time, to remove the contents from the Lock Box, for disposition in accordance with this Agreement. Borrower agrees to notify all account debtors and other parties obligated to Borrower that all payments made to Borrower (other than payments by electronic funds transfer) shall be remitted, for the credit of Borrower, to the Lock Box, and Borrower shall include a like statement on all invoices; and

 

(ii)                                  A non-interest bearing deposit account with Bank which shall be titled as designated by Bank (the “Dominion of Funds Account”) to which Bank shall have exclusive access and control. Borrower agrees to notify all account debtors and other parties obligated to Borrower that all payments made to Borrower by electronic funds transfer shall be remitted to the Dominion of Funds Account, and Borrower, at Bank’s request, shall include a like statement on all invoices. Borrower shall execute all documents and authorizations as required by Bank to establish and maintain the Lock Box and the Dominion of Funds Account.

 

(b)                                 Borrower shall hold in trust for Bank all amounts that Borrower receives despite the directions to make payments to the Lock Box or Dominion of Funds Account, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit into the Lock Box or Dominion of Funds Account, as applicable.

 

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all items or amounts remitted to the Lock Box, the Dominion of Funds Account or that Bank has otherwise received shall, in Bank’s sole discretion, be applied to the payment of any Obligations, whether then due or not, in such order or at such time of application as Bank may determine in its sole discretion. Borrower agrees that Bank shall not be liable for any loss or damage which Borrower may suffer as a result of Bank’s processing of items or its exercise of any other rights or remedies under this Agreement, including without limitation indirect, special or consequential damages, loss of revenues or profits, or any claim, demand or action by any third party arising out of or in connection with the processing of items or the exercise of any other rights or remedies under this Agreement. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against all such third party claims, demands or actions, and all related expenses or liabilities, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees except to the extent (but only to the extent) caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

5.                                      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

 

Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

 

5.1                               Due Organization and Qualification. Borrower and each Subsidiary is an entity duly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and qualified and licensed to do business in any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be so qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.2                               Due Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents are within Borrower’s powers, have been duly authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in Borrower’s organizational documents, nor will they constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement by which it is bound, except to the extent such default would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.3                               Collateral. Borrower has rights in or the power to transfer the Collateral, and its title to the Collateral is free and clear of Liens, adverse claims, and restrictions on transfer or pledge except for Permitted Liens. All Collateral (other than movable items of personal property (such as laptop computers) having an aggregate book value not to exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000)) is located solely in the

 

6

 

Collateral States. The Eligible Accounts are bona fide existing obligations. The property or services giving rise to such Eligible Accounts has been delivered or rendered to the account debtor or its agent for immediate shipment to and unconditional acceptance by the account debtor. Borrower has not received notice of actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any account debtor whose accounts are included in any Borrowing Base Certificate as an Eligible Account. No licenses or agreements giving rise to such Eligible Accounts is with any Prohibited Territory or with any Person organized under or doing business in a Prohibited Territory. All Inventory is in all material respects of good and merchantable quality, free from all material defects, except for Inventory for which adequate reserves have been made. Except as set forth in the Schedule, none of the Collateral is maintained or invested with a Person other than Bank or Bank’s Affiliates.

 

5.4                               Intellectual Property. Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property, except for licenses granted by Borrower to its customers in the ordinary course of business. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, each of the Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made to Borrower that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.5                               Name; Location of Chief Executive Office. Except as disclosed in the Schedule, Borrower has not done business under any name other than that specified on the signature page hereof, and its exact legal name is as set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement. The chief executive office of Borrower is located in the Chief Executive Office State at the address indicated in Section 10 hereof.

 

5.6                               Actions, Suits, Litigation, or Proceedings. Except as set forth in the Schedule, there are no actions, suits, litigation or proceedings, at law or in equity, pending by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary before any court, administrative agency, or arbitrator in which a likely adverse decision could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.7                               No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements. All consolidated and consolidating financial statements related to Borrower and any Subsidiary that are delivered by Borrower to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated and consolidating financial condition as of the date thereof and Borrower’s consolidated and consolidating results of operations for the period then ended. There has not been a material adverse change in the consolidated or in the consolidating financial condition of Borrower since the date of the most recent of such financial statements submitted to Bank.

 

5.8                               Solvency, Payment of Debts. Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature; the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; and Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,

 

5.9                               Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Borrower and each Subsidiary have met the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA. No event has occurred resulting from Borrower’s failure to comply with ERISA that is reasonably likely to result in Borrower’s incurring any liability that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of the important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations T and U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). Borrower has complied in all material respects with all the provisions of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower is in compliance with all environmental laws, regulations and ordinances except where the failure to comply is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower has not violated any statutes, laws, ordinances or rules applicable to it, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower and each Subsidiary have filed or caused to be filed all tax returns required to be filed, and have paid, or have made adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes reflected therein except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP or where the failure to file such returns or pay such taxes could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

7

 

5.10                        Subsidiaries. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities of any Person, except for Permitted Investments and except as set forth on the Schedule.

 

5.11                        Government Consents. Borrower and each Subsidiary have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all governmental authorities that are necessary for the continued operation of Borrower’s business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.12                        Inbound Licenses. Except as disclosed on the Schedule, Borrower is not a party to, nor is bound by, any inbound license or other agreement, the failure, breach, or termination of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect, or that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or any other property,

 

5.13                        Full Disclosure. No representation, warranty or other statement made by Borrower in any certificate or written statement furnished to Bank taken together with all such certificates and written statements furnished to Bank contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained in such certificates or statements not misleading, it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results.

 

6.                                      AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

 

Borrower covenants that, until payment in full of all outstanding Obligations, and for so long as Bank may have any commitment to make a Credit Extension hereunder, Borrower shall do all of the following:

 

6.1                               Good Standing and Government Compliance. Borrower shall maintain its and each of its Subsidiaries’ organizational existence and good standing in the Borrower State, shall maintain qualification and good standing in each other jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and shall furnish to Bank the organizational identification number issued to Borrower by the authorities of the jurisdiction in which Borrower is organized, if applicable. Borrower shall meet, and shall cause each Subsidiary to meet, the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA. Borrower shall comply in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws, and maintain all material permits, licenses and approvals required thereunder where the failure to do so could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower shall comply, and shall cause each Subsidiary to comply, with all statutes, laws, ordinances and government rules and regulations to which it is subject, and shall maintain, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, in force all licenses, approvals and agreements, the loss of which or failure to comply with which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

6.2                               Financial Statements, Reports, Certificates. Borrower shall deliver to Bank: (i) as soon as available, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month, a company prepared consolidated and consolidating balance sheet and income statement covering Borrower’s operations during such period, in a form reasonably acceptable to Bank and certified by a Responsible Officer; (ii) as soon as available, but in any event within one hundred eighty (180) days after the end of Borrower’s fiscal year, audited consolidated and consolidating financial statements of Borrower prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, together with an opinion which is unqualified (including no going concern comment or qualification) or otherwise consented to in writing by Bank on such financial statements of an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Bank (provided that Borrower shall deliver to Bank audited financial statements for 2010 and 2011 not later than October 31,2012); (iii) if applicable, copies of all statements, reports and notices sent or made available generally by Borrower to its security holders or to any holders of Subordinated Debt and all reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; (iv) promptly upon receipt of notice thereof, a report of any legal actions pending or threatened against Borrower or any Subsidiary that could result in damages or costs to Borrower or any Subsidiary of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or more; (v) promptly upon receipt, each management letter prepared by Borrower’s independent certified public accounting firm regarding Borrower’s management control systems; (vi) as soon as available, but in any event not later than January 31 of each calendar year, Borrower’s financial and business projections and budget for such year, with evidence of approval thereof by

(b)                                 Within thirty (30) days after the last day of each month, Borrower shall deliver to Bank with the monthly financial statements a Compliance Certificate certified as of the last day of the applicable month and signed by a Responsible Officer in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto.

 

(c)                                  As soon as possible and in any event within three (3) calendar days after becoming aware of the occurrence or existence of an Event of Default hereunder, a written statement of a Responsible Officer setting forth details of the Event of Default, and the action which Borrower has taken or proposes to take with respect thereto.

 

(d)                                 Bank shall have a right from time to time hereafter to audit Borrower’s Accounts and appraise Collateral at Borrower’s expense, provided that such audits will be conducted no more often than every six (6) months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,

 

Borrower may deliver to Bank on an electronic basis any certificates, reports or information required pursuant to this Section 6.2, and Bank shall be entitled to rely on the information contained in the electronic files, provided that Bank in good faith believes that the files were delivered by a Responsible Officer. If Borrower delivers this information electronically, it shall also deliver to Bank by U.S. Mail, reputable overnight courier service, hand delivery, facsimile or pdf file within five (5) Business Days of submission of the unsigned electronic copy the certification of monthly financial statements, the Borrowing Base Certificate and the Compliance Certificate, each bearing the physical signature of the Responsible Officer.

 

6.3                               Inventory; Returns. Borrower shall keep all Inventory in good and merchantable condition, free from all material defects except for Inventory for which adequate reserves have been made, Returns and allowances, if any, as between Borrower and its account debtors shall be on the same basis and in accordance with the usual customary practices of Borrower, as they exist on the Closing Date. Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of all returns and recoveries and of all disputes and claims involving more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).

 

6.4                               Taxes. Borrower shall make, and cause each Subsidiary to make, due and timely payment or deposit of all material federal, state, and local taxes, assessments, or contributions required of it by law, including, but not limited to, those laws concerning income taxes, F.I.C.A., F.U.T.A. and state disability, and will execute and deliver to Bank, on demand, proof satisfactory to Bank indicating that Borrower or a Subsidiary has made such payments or deposits and any appropriate certificates attesting to the payment or deposit thereof; provided that Borrower or a Subsidiary need not make any payment if the amount or validity of such payment is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and is reserved against (to the extent required by GAAP) by Borrower.

 

6.5                               Insurance.

 

(a)                                 Borrower, at its expense, shall keep the Collateral insured against loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, sprinklers, and all other hazards and risks, and in such amounts, as ordinarily insured against by other owners in similar businesses conducted in the locations where Borrower’s business is conducted on the date hereof. Borrower shall also maintain liability and other insurance in amounts and of a type that are customary to businesses similar to Borrower’s.

 

9

 

(b)                                 All such policies of insurance shall be in such form, with such companies, and in such amounts as reasonably satisfactory to Bank. All policies of property insurance shall contain a lender’s loss payable endorsement, in a form satisfactory to Bank, showing Bank as an additional loss payee, and all liability insurance policies shall show Bank as an additional insured and specify that the insurer must give at least twenty (20) days notice to Bank before canceling its policy for any reason. Upon Bank’s request, Borrower shall deliver to Bank certified copies of the policies of insurance and evidence of all premium payments. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, proceeds payable under any casualty policy will, at Borrower’s option, be payable to Borrower to replace the property subject to the claim, provided that any such replacement property shall be deemed Collateral in which Bank has been granted a first priority security interest. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all proceeds payable under any such policy shall, at Bank’s option, be payable to Bank to be applied on account of the Obligations.

 

6.6                               Accounts. Borrower shall maintain its primary depository, operating and investment accounts with Bank or Bank’s Affiliates (covered by satisfactory control agreements). Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, (i) except as set forth in clause (y), below, close all accounts maintained outside of Bank (or Bank’s Affiliates) (the “Transition Accounts”) and (ii) cause the amounts in the Transition Accounts to be transferred to Borrower’s accounts with Bank (or Bank’s Affiliates, as applicable); provided that (x) Borrower shall not be required to deliver to Bank control agreements with respect to the Transition Accounts as long as the same are closed within said thirty (30) day period; and (y) Borrower shall be permitted to maintain, without control agreements, the SVB Accounts.

 

6.7                               Intentionally Omitted.

 

6.8                               Registration of Intellectual Property Rights.

 

(a)                                 Borrower shall register or cause to be registered on an expedited basis (to the extent not already registered) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as the case may be, those registrable intellectual property rights now owned or hereafter developed or acquired by Borrower, to the extent that Borrower, in its reasonable business judgment, deems it appropriate to so protect such intellectual property rights.

 

(b)                                 Borrower shall promptly, but not more frequently than quarterly, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, give Bank written notice of any applications or registrations of intellectual property rights filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and United States Copyright Office, including the date of such filing and the registration or application numbers, if any.

 

(c)                                  Borrower shall give Bank prompt, but not more frequently than quarterly, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, written notice of the filing of any applications or registrations with the United States Copyright Office, including the title of such intellectual property rights to be registered, as such title will appear on such applications or registrations, and the date such applications or registrations will be filed.

 

(d)                                 Borrower shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, and trade secrets, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to detect infringements of the Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights and promptly advise Bank in writing of material infringements detected and (iii) not allow any material Trademarks, Patents or Copyrights to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without the written consent of Bank, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

6.9                               Consent of Inbound Licensors. Prior to entering into or becoming bound by any Material Inbound License Agreement, Borrower shall: (i) provide written notice to Bank of the material terms of such license or agreement with a description of its likely impact on Borrower’s business or financial condition; and (ii) in good faith use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for Borrower’s interest in such licenses or contract rights to be deemed Collateral and for Bank to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted by the terms of the applicable license or agreement,

 

10

 

whether now existing or entered into in the future; provided, however, that the failure to obtain any such consent or waiver shall not constitute a default under this Agreement.

 

6.10                        Creation/Acquisition of Subsidiaries. In the event Borrower or any Subsidiary creates or acquires any Subsidiary, Borrower and such Subsidiary shall promptly notify Bank of the creation or acquisition of such new Subsidiary and take all such action as may be reasonably required by Bank to cause each such domestic Subsidiary to guarantee the Obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents and grant a continuing pledge and security interest in and to the collateral of such Subsidiary (substantially as described on Exhibit A hereto), and Borrower shall grant and pledge to Bank a perfected security interest in the stock, units or other evidence of ownership of each Subsidiary (whether foreign or domestic).

 

6.11                        Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time Borrower shall execute and deliver such further instruments and take such further action as may reasonably be requested by Bank to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

 

7.                                      NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

 

Borrower covenants and agrees that, so long as any credit hereunder shall be available and until the outstanding Obligations are paid in full or for so long as Bank may have any commitment to make any Credit Extensions, Borrower will not do any of the following without Bank’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld:

 

7.1                               Dispositions. Convey, sell, lease, license, transfer or otherwise dispose of (collectively, to “Transfer”), or permit any of its Subsidiaries to Transfer, all or any part of its business or property, or subject to Section 6.6 of the Agreement, move cash balances on deposit with Bank to accounts opened at another financial institution, other than Permitted Transfers.

 

7.2                               Change in Name, Location, Executive Office, or Executive Management; Change in Business; Change in Fiscal Year; Change in Control. Change its name or the Borrower State or relocate its chief executive office without ten  (10) days prior written notification to Bank; replace its chief executive officer or chief financial officer without ten (10) days prior written notification to Bank; engage in any business, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to engage in any business, other than or reasonably related or incidental to the businesses currently engaged in by Borrower; change its fiscal year end; have a Change in Control.

 

7.3                               Mergers or Acquisitions. Merge or consolidate, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to merge or consolidate, with or into any other business organization (other than mergers or consolidations of a Subsidiary into another Subsidiary or into Borrower), or acquire, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to acquire, all or substantially all of the capital stock or property of another Person, or enter into any agreement to do any of the same, except where (i) such transactions do not in the aggregate exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) during any fiscal year, (ii) no Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would exist after giving effect to such transactions, (iii) such transactions do not result in a Change in Control, and (iv) Borrower is the surviving entity.

 

7.4                               Indebtedness. Create, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable with respect to any Indebtedness, or permit any Subsidiary so to do, other than Permitted Indebtedness, or prepay any Indebtedness or take any actions which impose on Borrower an obligation to prepay any Indebtedness, except Indebtedness to Bank.

 

7.5                               Encumbrances. Create, incur, assume or allow any Lien with respect to any of its property, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income, including the sale of any Accounts, or permit any of its Subsidiaries so to do, except for Permitted Liens, or covenant to any other Person that Borrower in the future will refrain from creating, incurring, assuming or allowing any Lien with respect to any of Borrower’s property. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.5 shall not restrict the Company’s ability to collect on unpaid receivables through third party collection services.

 

7.6                               Distributions. Pay any dividends or make any other distribution or payment on account of or in redemption, retirement or purchase of any capital stock, except that Borrower may (i) repurchase the stock

 

11

 

of former employees, advisors, directors or contractors pursuant to stock repurchase agreements as long as an Event of Default does not exist prior to such repurchase or would not exist after giving effect to such repurchase, and (ii) repurchase the stock of former employees, advisors, directors or contractors pursuant to stock repurchase agreements by the cancellation of indebtedness owed by such former employees, advisors, directors or contractors to Borrower regardless of whether an Event of Default exists.

 

7.7                               Investments. Except as provided in Section 6.6, directly or indirectly acquire or own, or make any Investment in or to any Person, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do so, other than Permitted Investments, or maintain or invest any of its property with a Person other than Bank or Bank’s Affiliates or permit any Subsidiary to do so unless such Person has entered into a control agreement with Bank, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, or suffer or permit any Subsidiary to be a party to, or be bound by, an agreement that restricts such Subsidiary from paying dividends or otherwise distributing property to Borrower. Further, Borrower shall not enter into any license or agreement with any Prohibited Territory or with any Person organized under or doing business in a Prohibited Territory.

 

7.8                               Transactions with Affiliates. Directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any material transaction with any Affiliate of Borrower except for transactions that are in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a non-affiliated Person.

 

7.9                               Subordinated Debt. Make any payment in respect of any Subordinated Debt, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to make any such payment, except in compliance with the terms of such Subordinated Debt and the terms of the subordination agreement relating to such Subordinated Debt, or amend any provision of any document evidencing such Subordinated Debt, except in compliance with the terms of the subordination agreement relating to such Subordinated Debt, or amend any provision affecting Bank’s rights contained in any documentation relating to the Subordinated Debt without Bank’s prior written consent. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.9 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall restrict the Convertible Notes (as defined herein) from being exchanged for equity securities of Borrower.

 

7.10                        Inventory and Equipment. Store the Inventory or the Equipment with a bailee, warehouseman, or similar third party unless the third party has been notified of Bank’s security interest and Bank (a) has received an acknowledgment from the third party that it is holding or will hold the Inventory or Equipment for Bank’s benefit or (b) is in possession of the warehouse receipt, where negotiable, covering such Inventory or Equipment. Except for Inventory sold in the ordinary course of business and except for such other locations as Bank may approve in writing, Borrower shall keep the Inventory and Equipment only at the location set forth in Section 10 and such other locations of which Borrower gives Bank prior written notice and as to which Bank files a financing statement where needed to perfect its security interest.

 

7.11                        No Investment Company; Margin Regulation. Become or be controlled by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or become principally engaged in, or undertake as one of its important activities, the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock, or use the proceeds of any Credit Extension for such purpose.

 

8.                                      EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

 

Any one or more of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default by Borrower under this Agreement:

 

8.1                               Payment Default. Borrower fails to (a) make any payment of principal or interest on any Credit Extension on its due date, or (b) pay any other Obligations within three (3) Business Days after such Obligations are due and payable (which three (3) Business Day cure period shall not apply to payments due on the Revolving Maturity Date or the Growth Capital Maturity Date, as applicable). During the cure period, the failure to make or pay any payment specified under clause (a) or (b) hereunder is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extension will be made during the cure period);

 

12

 

8.2                                       Covenant Default.

 

(a)                                 If Borrower fails to perform any obligation under Article 6 or violates any of the covenants contained in Article 7 of this Agreement; or

 

(b)                                 If Borrower fails or neglects to perform or observe any other material term, provision, condition, covenant contained in this Agreement, in any of the Loan Documents, or in any other present or future agreement between Borrower and Bank and as to any default under such other term, provision, condition or covenant that can be cured, has failed to cure such default within ten (10) days after Borrower receives notice thereof or any officer of Borrower becomes aware thereof; provided, however, that if the default cannot by its nature be cured within the ten (10) day period or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured within such ten (10) day period, and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower shall have an additional reasonable period (which shall not in any case exceed thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure such default, so long as Borrower continues to diligently attempt to cure such default, and within such reasonable time period the failure to have cured such default shall not be deemed an Event of Default but no Credit Extensions will be made;

 

8.3                               Investor Abandonment. If Bank reasonably determines, based on indications from Borrower’s existing investors, that such investors no longer intend to provide capital to Borrower in amounts and at time sufficient to enable Borrower to satisfy its obligations (including, but not limited to, all Obligations owing from Borrower to Bank);

 

8.4                               Defective Perfection. If Bank shall receive at any time following the Closing Date an SOS Report indicating that except for Permitted Liens, Bank’s security interest in the Collateral is not prior to all other security interests or Liens of record reflected in the report;

 

8.5                               Attachment. If any material portion of Borrower’s assets is attached, seized, subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or is levied upon, or comes into the possession of any trustee, receiver or person acting in a similar capacity and such attachment, seizure, writ or distress warrant or levy has not been removed, discharged or rescinded within ten (10) days, or if Borrower is enjoined, restrained, or in any way prevented by court order from continuing to conduct all or any material part of its business affairs, or if a judgment or other claim becomes a lien or encumbrance upon any material portion of Borrower’s assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed of record with respect to any of Borrower’s assets by the United States Government, or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, or by any state, county, municipal, or governmental agency, and the same is not paid within ten (10) days after Borrower receives notice thereof, provided that none of the foregoing shall constitute an Event of Default where such action or event is stayed or an adequate bond has been posted pending a good faith contest by Borrower (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made during such cure period);

 

8.6                               Insolvency. If Borrower becomes insolvent, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced by Borrower, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced against Borrower and is not dismissed or stayed within thirty (30) days (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made prior to the dismissal of such Insolvency Proceeding);

 

8.7                               Other Agreements. If there is a default or other failure to perform in any agreement to which Borrower is a party with a third party or parties resulting in a right by such third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

 

8.8                               Subordinated Debt. If Borrower makes any payment on account of Subordinated Debt, except to the extent the payment is allowed under any subordination agreement entered into with Bank;

 

8.9                               Judgments; Settlements. If a judgment or judgments for the payment of money in an amount, individually or in the aggregate, of at least Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) shall be rendered against Borrower and shall remain unsatisfied and unstayed for a period of ten (10) days (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made prior to the satisfaction or stay of the judgment); or if a settlement or settlements, except to the extent the settled claim(s) is covered by and will be paid by insurance within thirty (30) days of the

 

13

 

effective date of the settlement, is agreed upon for an amount individually or in the aggregate of at least Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000); and

 

8.10                        Misrepresentations. If any material misrepresentation or material misstatement exists now or hereafter in any warranty or representation set forth herein or in any certificate delivered to Bank by any Responsible Officer pursuant to this Agreement or to induce Bank to enter into this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

9.                                      BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

 

9.1                               Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, without notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower:

 

(a)                                 Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.6 (insolvency), all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

 

(b)                                 Demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to the amount of any Letters of Credit remaining undrawn, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and (ii) pay in advance all Letter of Credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of the Letters of Credit, and Borrower shall promptly deposit and pay such amounts;

 

(c)                                  Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

 

(d)                                 Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Bank reasonably considers advisable;

 

(e)                                  Make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Bank as Bank may designate. Borrower authorizes Bank to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Bank’s determination appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of Borrower’s owned premises, Borrower hereby grants Bank a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

 

(f)                                   Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower held by Bank, and (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower held by Bank;

 

(g)                                  Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a non-exclusive license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank’s benefit;

 

(h)                                 Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’s premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever

 

14

 

manner or order Bank deems appropriate. Bank may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Bank may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If Bank sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Bank, and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Bank may resell the Collateral and Borrower shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale;

 

(i)                                     Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale;

 

(j)                                    Apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Collateral, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations and without regard to the solvency of Borrower, any guarantor or any other Person liable for any of the Obligations; and

 

(k)                                 Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower.

 

Bank shall comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

 

9.2                               Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank’s designated officers, or employees) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank’s possession; (c) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Borrower’s policies of insurance; (f) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; and (g) file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of Borrower where permitted by law; provided Bank may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Borrower on any of the documents described in clause (g) above, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. The appointment of Bank as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide advances hereunder is terminated.

 

9.3                               Accounts Collection. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

 

9.4                               Bank Expenses. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to Borrower: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under the Revolving Line as Bank deems necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.5 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.

 

9.5                               Bank’s Liability for Collateral. Bank has no obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.

 

15

 

9.6                               No Obligation to Pursue Others. Bank has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting them from any other person liable for them and Bank may release, modify or waive any collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Obligations, all without affecting Bank’s rights against Borrower. Borrower waives any right it may have to require Bank to pursue any other Person for any of the Obligations.

 

9.7                               Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. Borrower expressly agrees that this Section 9.7 may not be waived or modified by Bank by course of performance, conduct, estoppel or otherwise.

 

9.8                               Demand; Protest. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment and any other notices relating to the Obligations.

 

10.                               NOTICES.

 

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party relating to this Agreement or a other agreement entered into in connection herewith shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by a recognized overnight delivery service, certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by telefacsimile to Borrower or to Bank, as the case may be, at its addresses set forth below:

11.                               CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

 

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each of Borrower and Bank hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts located in the State of California. THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED PARTIES.

 

12.                               REFERENCE PROVISION.

 

12.1                        In the event the Jury Trial Waiver set forth above is not enforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this Judicial Reference Provision.

 

12.2                        With the exception of the items specified in Section 12.3, below, any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement between the undersigned parties (collectively in this Section, the “Loan Documents”), will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will be in the Superior Court in the County where the real property involved in the action, if any, is located or in a County where venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”).

 

12.3                        The matters that shall not be subject to a reference are the following: (i) foreclosure of any security interests in real or personal property, (ii) exercise of selfhelp remedies (including, without limitation, set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver and (iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions). This Agreement does not limit the right of any party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in clauses (i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction any of the items described in clauses (iii) and (iv). The exercise of, or opposition to, any of those items does not waive the right of any party to a reference pursuant to this Agreement.

 

12.4                        The referee shall be a retired Judge or Justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree within ten (10) days of a written request to do so by any party, then, upon request of any party, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted.

 

12.5                        The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good cause shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (ii) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the conference and (iii) report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days after the matter has been submitted for decision.

 

12.6                        The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery. The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered based upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery, depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days after service. All disputes

 

17

 

relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding.

 

12.7                        Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at trial.

 

12.8                        The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. Pursuant to CCP § 644, such decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court and any such decision will be final, binding and conclusive. The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the referee. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.

 

12.9                        If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or Justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.

 

12.10                 THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

 

13.                               GENERAL PROVISIONS.

 

13.1                        Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall bind all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Agreement; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by Borrower without Bank’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Bank’s sole discretion. Bank shall have the right without the consent of or notice to Borrower to sell, transfer, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights and benefits hereunder.

 

13.2                        Indemnification. Borrower shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Bank and its officers, employees, and agents against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and/or the Loan Documents; and (b) all losses or Bank Expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Bank, its officers, employees and agents as a result of or in any way arising out of, following, or consequential to transactions between Bank and Borrower whether under this Agreement, or otherwise (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees and expenses), except for losses caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

18

 

13.3                        Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of ail obligations set forth in this Agreement.

 

13.4                        Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

 

13.5                        Correction of Loan Documents. Bank may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties; provided that Bank provides prior written notice of such change(s) to Borrower.

 

13.6                        Amendments in Writing, Integration. All amendments to or terminations of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents must be in writing signed by the parties. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if any, are merged into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

 

13.7                        Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

 

13.8                        Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or Bank has any obligation to make any Credit Extension to Borrower. The obligations of Borrower to indemnify Bank with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 13.2 shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against Bank have run.

 

13.9                        Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Bank and all employees and agents of Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that Bank exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby received or received pursuant to this Agreement except that disclosure of such information may be made (i) to the subsidiaries or Affiliates of Bank in connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrower, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loans, (iii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order, (iv) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of Bank, (v) to Bank’s accountants, auditors and regulators, and (vi) as Bank may determine in connection with the enforcement of any remedies hereunder. Confidential information hereunder shall not include information that either: (a) is in the public domain or in the knowledge or possession of Bank when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank through no fault of Bank; or (b) is disclosed to Bank by a third party, provided Bank does not have actual knowledge that such third party is prohibited from disclosing such information.

(Herein called “Bank”)

I understand that the Security Agreement or Deed of Trust which I executed in connection with this transaction requires me to provide a physical damage insurance policy including a Lenders Loss Payable Endorsement in favor of the Bank as shown below, within ten (10) days from the date of this agreement.

o Other
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    

 

I may obtain the required insurance from any company that is acceptable to the Bank, and will deliver proof of such coverage with an effective date of November 21, 2011 or earlier.

 

I understand and agree that if I fail to deliver proof of insurance to the Bank at the address below, or upon the lapse or cancellation of such insurance, the Bank may procure Lender’s Single Interest Insurance or other similar coverage on the property. If the Bank procures insurance to protect its interest in the property described in the security documents, the cost for the insurance will be added to my indebtedness as provided in the security documents. Lender’s Single Interest Insurance shall cover only the Bank’s interest as a secured party, and shall become effective at the earlier of the funding date of this transaction or the date my insurance was canceled or expired. I UNDERSTAND THAT LENDER’S SINGLE INTEREST INSURANCE WILL PROVIDE ME WITH ONLY LIMITED PROTECTION AGAINST PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE COLLATERAL, UP TO THE BALANCE OF THE LOAN, HOWEVER, MY EQUITY IN THE PROPERTY WILL NOT BE INSURED. FURTHER, THE INSURANCE WILL NOT PROVIDE MINIMUM PUBLIC LIABILITY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE INDEMNIFICATION AND DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY LAW.

 

CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 2955.5. HAZARD INSURANCE DISCLOSURE: No lender shall require a borrower, as a condition of receiving or maintaining a loan secured by real property, to provide hazard insurance coverage against risks to the improvements on that real property in an amount exceeding the replacement value of the improvements on the property.

EXHIBIT A to UCC Financing Statement

 

COLLATERAL DESCRIPTION ATTACHMENT TO UCC NATIONAL FINANCING FORM

 

All personal property of Borrower (herein referred to as “Borrower” or “Debtor”) whether presently existing or hereafter created or acquired, and wherever located, including, but not limited to:

 

All personal property of Debtor of every kind, whether presently existing or hereafter created or acquired, and wherever located, including but not limited to: (a) all accounts (including health-care-insurance receivables), chattel paper (including tangible and electronic chattel paper), deposit accounts, documents (including negotiable documents), equipment (including all accessions and additions thereto), general intangibles (including payment intangibles and software), goods (including fixtures), instruments (including promissory notes), inventory (including all goods held for sale or lease or to be furnished under a contract of service, and including returns and repossessions), investment property (including securities and securities entitlements), letter of credit rights, money, and all of Debtor’s books and records with respect to any of the foregoing, and the computers and equipment containing said books and records; and (b) any and all cash proceeds and/or noncash proceeds thereof, including, without limitation, insurance proceeds, and all supporting obligations and the security therefor or for any right to payment. All terms above have the meanings given to them in the California Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or supplemented from time to time.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral shall not include any copyrights, patents, trademarks, servicemarks, trade names and service names and registrations or applications therefor and goodwill associated therewith, now owned or hereafter acquired, or any claims for damages by way of any past, present and future infringement of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”); provided, however, that the Collateral shall include all accounts and general intangibles that consist of rights to payment from the sale, licensing or disposition of all or any part of, or rights in, the Intellectual Property (the “Rights to Payment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a judicial authority (including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) holds that a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property is necessary to have a security interest in the Rights to Payment, then the Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of November 21, 2011, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Rights to Payment.

 

 

Prime Referenced Rate Addendum To

Loan and Security Agreement

 

This Prime Referenced Rate Addendum to Loan and Security Agreement (this “Addendum”) is entered into as of November 21, 2011, by and between Comerica Bank (“Bank”) and Gene Security Network, Inc. (“Borrower”). This Addendum supplements the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of November 21, 2011 (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented, extended or restated from time to time, collectively, the “Agreement”).

 

1.                                      Definitions. As used in this Addendum, the following terms shall have the following meanings. Initially capitalized terms used and not defined in this Addendum shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement.

 

a.                                      “Applicable Margin” means one and three quarters percent (1.75%) per annum.

 

b.                                      “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day designated as a holiday under Federal or applicable State statute or regulation, on which Bank is open for all or substantially all of its domestic and international business (including dealings in foreign exchange) in San Jose, California, and, in respect of notices and determinations relating the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate, also a day on which dealings in dollar deposits are also carried on in the London interbank market and on which banks are open for business in London, England.

 

c.                                       “Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate” means, for any day, a per annum interest rate which is equal to the quotient of the following:

 

(1)                                 for any day, the per annum rate of interest determined on the basis of the rate for deposits in United States Dollars for a period equal to one (1) month appearing on Page BBAM of the Bloomberg Financial Markets Information Service as of 8:00 a.m. (California time) (or as soon thereafter as practical) on such day, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the event that such rate does not appear on Page BBAM of the Bloomberg Financial Markets Information Service (or otherwise on such Service) on any day, the “Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate” for such day shall be determined by reference to such other publicly available service for displaying eurodollar rates as may be reasonably selected by Bank, or in the absence of such other service, the “Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate” for such day shall, instead, be determined based upon the average of the rates at which Bank is offered dollar deposits at or about 8:00 a.m. (California time) (or as soon thereafter as practical), on such day, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day, in the interbank eurodollar market in an amount comparable to the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations and for a period equal to one (1) month;

 

divided by

 

(2)                                 1.00 minus the maximum rate (expressed as a decimal) on such day at which Bank is required to maintain reserves on “Euro-currency Liabilities” as defined in and pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or, if such regulation or definition is modified, and as long as Bank is required to maintain reserves against a category of liabilities which includes eurodollar deposits or includes a category of assets which includes eurodollar loans, the rate at which such reserves are required to be maintained on such category.

 

d.                                      “LIBOR Lending Office” means Bank’s office located in the Cayman Islands, British West Indies, or such other branch of Bank, domestic or foreign, as it may hereafter designate as its LIBOR Lending Office by notice to Borrower.

 

e.                                       “Prime Rate” means the per annum interest rate established by Bank as its prime rate for its borrowers, as such rate may vary from time to time, which rate is not necessarily the lowest rate on loans made by Bank at any such time.

 

e.                                       “Prime Referenced Rate” means, for any day, a per annum interest rate which is equal to the Prime Rate in effect on such day, but in no event and at no time shall the Prime Referenced Rate be less than the sum of the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate for such day plus two and one-half percent (2.50%) per annum. If, at any time, Bank determines that it is unable to determine or ascertain

 

1

 

the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate for any day, the Prime Referenced Rate for each such day shall be the Prime Rate in effect at such time, but not less than two and one-half percent (2.50%) per annum.

 

2.                                      Interest Rate. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Addendum, the Obligations under the Agreement shall bear interest at the Prime Referenced Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

 

3.                                      Payment of Interest. Accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid balance of the Advances under the Revolving Line, and any related Obligations outstanding under the Agreement, shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the first day of each month, until maturity (whether as stated herein, by acceleration, or otherwise). In the event that any payment under this Addendum becomes due and payable on any day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, to the extent applicable, interest shall continue to accrue and be payable thereon during such extension at the rates set forth in this Addendum. Interest accruing hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and shall be assessed for the actual number of days elapsed, and in such computation, effect shall be given to any change in the applicable interest rate as a result of any change in the Prime Referenced Rate on the date of each such change.

 

4.                                      Bank’s Records. The amount and date of each advance under the Agreement, its applicable interest rate, and the amount and date of any repayment shall be noted on Bank’s records, which records shall be conclusive evidence thereof, absent manifest error; provided, however, any failure by Bank to make any such notation, or any error in any such notation, shall not relieve Borrower of its obligations to repay Bank all amounts payable by Borrower to Bank under or pursuant to this Addendum and the Agreement, when due in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

5.                                      Default Interest Rate. From and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, and so long as any such Event of Default remains unremedied or uncured thereafter, the Obligations outstanding under the Agreement shall bear interest at a per annum rate of five percent (5%) above the otherwise applicable interest rate hereunder, which interest shall be payable upon demand. In addition to the foregoing, a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of each late payment hereunder may be charged on any payment not received by Bank within ten (10) calendar days after the payment due date therefor, but acceptance of payment of any such charge shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default under the Agreement. In no event shall the interest payable under this Addendum and the Agreement at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by law.

 

6.                                      Prepayment. Borrower may prepay all or part of the outstanding balance of any Obligations at any time without premium or penalty. Any prepayment hereunder shall also be accompanied by the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so prepaid. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing shall not, in any way whatsoever, limit, restrict, or otherwise affect Bank’s right to make demand for payment of all or any part of the Obligations under the Agreement due on a demand basis in Bank’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

7.                                      Regulatory Developments or Other Circumstances Relating to the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate.

 

a.                                      If the adoption after the date hereof, or any change after the date hereof in, any applicable law, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) of any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency after the date hereof: (a) shall subject Bank to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to this Addendum or any Obligations under the Agreement, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to Bank of the principal of or interest under this Addendum or any other amounts due under this Addendum in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Bank or its LIBOR Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which Bank’s principal executive office or LIBOR Lending Office is located); or (b) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by Bank, or shall impose on Bank or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting this Addendum or the Obligations hereunder; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank of maintaining any part of the Obligations hereunder or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Bank under this Addendum by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then Borrower shall pay to Bank, within fifteen (15) days of Borrower=s receipt of written notice from Bank demanding such compensation, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such increased cost or reduction. A certificate of Bank, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and submitted by Bank to Borrower, setting forth the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

1.                                      All references in the Loan Documents to “GENE SECURITY NETWORK, INC.” shall hereafter mean and refer to “NATERA, INC.”

Bank’s failure at any time to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision shall not affect any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance. Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Bank.

 

4.                                      Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Bank under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof.

 

5.                                      Borrower represents and warrants that the Representations and Warranties contained in the Agreement are true and correct as of the date of this Amendment, and that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

6.                                      As a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Bank shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, the following:

 

(a)                                         this Amendment, duly executed by Borrower;

 

(b)                                         a Certificate of the Secretary of Borrower with respect to incumbency and resolutions authorizing the execution and delivery of this Amendment;

 

(c)                                          a Certificate of Amendment of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Gene Security Network, Inc., dated December 29, 2011, filed with and certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware;

 

(d)                                         a National UCC Financing Statement Amendment;

7.                                      This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

The parties desire to amend the Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Amendment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                    Section 6.6 of the Agreement hereby is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“6.6                         Accounts.

6.6.1                     Medicare/Medical Accounts. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall cause all Medicare and Medical payments owing to Borrower to be wire transferred or sent via ACH directly to Borrower’s operating account held at Bank (the “Blocked Account”). Bank hereby disclaims any right or interest (including any security interest or right of off set (or set-off)) in or to such Blocked Account. If at any time, such payments are no longer wire transferred or sent via ACH directly to the Blocked Account, Borrower shall cause all Medicare and/or Medical payments to be mailed or delivered to a post office box designated by Bank, and Borrower shall enter into a lockbox agreement with Bank on Bank’s standard form with respect to such payments. No other amounts shall be directed or remitted, by or for the benefit of Borrower, to the Blocked Account. All items or amounts which are remitted to the Blocked Account shall, on a daily basis, be swept to Borrower’s primary operating account held at Bank (the “Operating Account”), and Borrower shall cause all payments other than those directed or remitted to the Blocked Account, to be directed or remitted to such Operating Account.”

 

2.                                      No course of dealing on the part of Bank or its officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by Bank, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right. Bank’s failure at any time to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision shall not affect any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance. Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Bank.

 

3.                                      Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects.

THIRD AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

This Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of January 28, 2013, by and between COMERICA BANK (“Bank”) and NATERA, INC. (“Borrower”).

 

RECITALS

 

Borrower and Bank are parties to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of November 21, 2011 (as amended from time to time, including by that certain First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of January 27, 2012 and that certain Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of May 31, 2012, collectively, the “Agreement”). The parties desire to amend the Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Amendment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.                            The following defined term set forth in Exhibit A of the Agreement hereby is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“Subordinated Debt” means any debt incurred by Borrower that is subordinated in writing to the debt owing by Borrower to Bank on terms reasonably acceptable to Bank (and identified as being such by Borrower and Bank); provided that those certain Convertible Promissory Notes issued by Borrower to certain of its investors (each, an “Investor”) (in connection with Borrower’s “Series C”, “Series D” and proposed “Series E” equity issuances), in the original principal amount of approximately Fifty Four Million Dollars ($54,000,000) in the aggregate (the “Convertible Notes”) shall constitute Subordinated Debt hereunder, but shall not be subject to a subordination agreement, or subordination agreements, in favor of Bank so long as there are no Credit Extensions outstanding under this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, Borrower shall not request, and Bank shall not make, any Credit Extensions under this Agreement until such time that each Investor has executed a subordination agreement in favor of Bank, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, which subordination agreement(s) shall be effective from the effective date of such subordination agreement(s) through (x) the termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Obligations in full in cash or (y) the conversion of the applicable Convertible Note to equity securities of Borrower, in accordance with the terms set forth in the documents evidencing the same, regardless of whether or not any Credit Extension are outstanding under this Agreement).

 

2.                            No course of dealing on the part of Bank or its officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by Bank, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right. Bank’s failure at any time to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision shall not affect any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance. Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Bank.

 

3.                            Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Bank under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof.

 

4.                            Borrower represents and warrants that the Representations and Warranties contained in the Agreement are true and correct as of the date of this Amendment, and that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

“(b)                                     Equipment Advances.

 

(i)                                     Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees to make Equipment Advances to Borrower. Borrower may request Equipment Advances at any time during the Draw Period, provided that the initial Equipment Advance shall not exceed One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Initial Equipment Advance”). The aggregate outstanding amount of Equipment Advances shall not exceed the Equipment Line. Each Equipment Advance shall not exceed sixty percent (60%) of the invoice amount of equipment and software listed in that certain Machinery and Equipment 2013 Projection delivered to Bank on or about the Closing Date (which Borrower shall, in any case, have purchased, (i) with respect to the Initial Equipment Advance, within one hundred eighty (180) days and (ii) with respect to all subsequent Equipment Advances, within ninety (90) days, of the date of the corresponding Equipment Advance), excluding taxes, shipping, warranty charges, freight discounts and installation expense. Each Equipment Advance must be in an amount equal to the lesser of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) or the amount that has not yet been drawn under the Equipment Line.

 

(ii)                                  Interest shall accrue from the date of each Equipment Advance at the rate specified in Section 2.3(a), and shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.3(c). Any Equipment Advances that are outstanding on June 30, 2013 shall be payable in twenty seven (27) equal monthly installments of principal, plus all accrued interest, beginning on July 1, 2013, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter through the Equipment Maturity Date. Any Equipment Advances made by Bank after June 30, 2013 shall immediately amortize and be payable in equal monthly installments of principal, plus all accrued interest, beginning on the first (1st) day of the month immediately following such Equipment Advance and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter through the Equipment Maturity Date, at which time all amounts due in connection with the Equipment Advances made under this Section 2.1(b) shall be immediately due and payable. Equipment Advances, once repaid, may not be reborrowed. Except as set forth in the Pricing Addendum, Borrower may prepay the Equipment Advances prior to the Equipment Maturity Date, provided that on the date of such prepayment Borrower shall, (i) prepay all but not less than all of the Equipment Advances and (ii) in connection with such prepayment, pay to the Bank to the Prepayment Fee, if applicable.

 

(iii)                               When Borrower desires to obtain an Equipment Advance, Borrower shall

Such notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C. The notice shall be signed by a Responsible Officer or its designee and include a copy of the invoice for any Equipment to be financed. Bank shall be entitled to rely on any facsimile notice given by a person who Bank reasonably believes to be a Responsible Officer or a designee thereof, and Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Bank as a result of such reliance.”

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

This Intellectual Property Security Agreement is entered into as of                    by and between COMERICA BANK (“Bank”) and NATERA, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Grantor”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.            Bank has agreed to make certain advances of money and to extend certain financial accommodations to Grantor (the “Loans”) in the amounts and manner set forth in that certain Loan and Security Agreement by and between Bank and Grantor dated as of November 21, 2011 (as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein are used as defined in the Loan Agreement). Bank is willing to make the Loans to Grantor, but only upon the condition, among others, that Grantor shall grant to Bank a security interest in certain Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents to secure the obligations of Grantor under the Loan Agreement.

 

B.            Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Grantor has granted to Bank a security interest in all of Grantor’s right, title and interest, whether presently existing or hereafter acquired, in, to and under all of the Collateral.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment when due of its obligations under the Loan Agreement and all other agreements now existing or hereafter arising between Grantor and Bank, Grantor hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

To secure its obligations under the Loan Agreement and under any other agreement now existing or hereafter arising between Grantor and Bank, Grantor grants and pledges to Bank a security interest in all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under its Intellectual Property Collateral (including without limitation those Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks listed on Exhibits A, B and C hereto), and including without limitation all proceeds thereof (such as, by way of example but not by way of limitation, license royalties and proceeds of infringement suits), the right to sue for past, present and future infringements, all rights corresponding thereto throughout the world and all re-issues, divisions continuations, renewals, extensions and continuations-in-part thereof.

 

This security interest is granted in conjunction with the security interest granted to Bank under the Loan Agreement. The rights and remedies of Bank with respect to the security interest granted hereby are in addition to those set forth in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and those which are now or hereafter available to Bank as a matter of law or equity. Each right, power and remedy of Bank provided for herein or in the Loan Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every right, power or remedy provided for herein and the exercise by Bank of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Intellectual Property Security Agreement, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by any person, including Bank, of any or all other rights, powers or remedies.

 

Grantor represents and warrants that Exhibits A, B, and C attached hereto set forth any and all intellectual property rights in connection to which Grantor has registered or filed an application with either the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable.

 

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument.

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Intellectual Property Security Agreement to be duly executed by its officers thereunto duly authorized as of the first date written above.
