Item 1.01

 

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 28, 2017, NuVasive, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an office lease agreement with HCPI/Sorrento, LLC (the “Lease”) for the purpose of expanding and restructuring the Company’s corporate headquarters located on Lusk Boulevard in San Diego, California, from approximately 145,000 square feet to approximately 252,000 square feet. The Lease and its terms supersede the existing Lease Agreement between the Company and HCPI/Sorrento, LLC with respect to the currently occupied office buildings located on Lusk Boulevard.

The renovation and expansion of the corporate headquarters is expected to be completed in three phases over a period of two years. The first expansion is scheduled to be delivered on or about May 1, 2018 and the final phase of expansion is estimated to occur on or about July 1, 2019.

The lease payments associated with the Lease will be approximately $161.9 million over the 17 year term of the Lease. Under the Lease, the Company will pay, beginning on September 1, 2017, a monthly base rent of $460,450, or $3.17 per rentable square foot. This monthly base rent will escalate annually at 3% for the term of the Lease upon completion of each phase of expansion, up to a maximum monthly base rent of $1,024,369, or $4.07 per rentable square foot, for the final year of the initial term of the Lease, subject to current estimates and the completion and delivery of the expansion and build-to-suit phases as presently contemplated under the Lease. Following the expiration of the initial term of the Lease, the Company has two options to extend the term of the Lease for a period of five years each.

Throughout the term of the Lease, the Company is responsible for paying certain costs and expenses, in addition to the rent, as specified in the Lease, including applicable taxes, operating expenses, and utilities. The Lease includes various covenants, indemnities, defaults, termination rights, and other provisions customary for lease transactions of this nature, including maintaining a $1.4 million letter of credit to secure the performance of the Company’s obligations under the Lease.

The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the Lease and does not purport to be complete, and it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Lease, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.  

The Company’s press release announcing the Company’s entrance into the Lease is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report. The information in the press release attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

Must-Take Space 1 :  An amount equal to $90.00 per rentable square foot of the Must-Take Space 1 ( i.e. , $2,169,450.00 based upon 24,105 rentable square feet in the Must-Take Space 1).

Landlord and Tenant hereby stipulate and agree that the rentable area of the Initial Premises, Must-Take Space 1 and Must-Take Space 3, are as set forth in Sections 2.2 , 2.2.1 and 2.2.3 , respectively, of the Summary and shall not be subject to remeasurement during the Lease Term except in connection with a change in the physical size of the Premises or Buildings resulting from an event of casualty or condemnation as provided in Articles 11 and 13 of this Lease.

1.3 Must‑Take Space 1 .   As of the Must-Take 1 Commencement Date, as determined in accordance with Section 3.5 of the Summary, the Premises shall be expanded to include both the Initial Premises and the Must‑Take Space 1, as set forth in the Summary and this Section 1.3 .

1.3.1 Description of the Must-Take Space 1 .   The Must‑Take Space 1 shall consist of that space described in Section 2.3.2 of the Summary.  For purposes of this Lease, the rentable square feet of the Must Take Space 1 shall be deemed to be the amount set forth in Section 2.3.2 of the Summary.

furnishings that are not included in the Tenant Improvements to the Must-Take Space 1 (the " Tenant Must-Take 1 Fit-Out Work ") at least sixty (60) days prior to the Must-Take 1 Delivery Date; with such 60-day period (the " Must-Take Space 1 Fit-Out Period ") commencing on the date on which (i) the Must-Take Space 1 is in the condition required for such non-exclusive access by Tenant, and (ii) Tenant is provided with such non-exclusive access following reasonable advance notice of such date from Landlord; and further provided that Landlord and Tenant shall each act reasonably and cooperate in good faith to coordinate the Tenant Improvements to the Must-Take Space 1 and Tenant's Must-Take 1 Fit-Out Work to avoid any interference with, or delay of, their respective activities in Must-Take Space 1 during the Must-Take Space 1 Fit-Out Period.  Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord may deny Tenant access to the Must-Take Space 1 during the Must-Take Space 1 Fit-Out Period if such access by Tenant would interfere with Landlord's construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Must-Take Space 1, and such temporary denial of access shall not serve to delay of extend the Must-Take Space 1 Fit-Out Period (or delay the Must-Take 1 Rent Commencement Date) provided that Landlord reasonably cooperates with Tenant to provide access as soon as possible once Tenant's access and work in the Must-Take Space 1 no longer interferes with Landlord's construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Must-Take Space 1.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Landlord diligently pursues the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements in the Must-Take Space 1, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any damages resulting from any delay in achieving Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements in the Must-Take Space 1 and delivery of exclusive possession of the Must-Take Space 1 to Tenant by May 1, 2018.

1.3.3 Rent and Term .   As of the Must-Take 1 Commencement Date, the Must-Take Space 1 shall become part of the Premises for all purposes hereunder, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 1.3 , shall be subject to every term and condition of this Lease.  The lease term for the Must-Take Space 1 shall commence on the Must-Take 1 Commencement Date; and the lease term for the Must-Take Space 1 shall expire, unless earlier terminated, upon the Lease Expiration Date; and Tenant shall commence payment of the Must-Take Space 1 Base Rent and the Additional Rent for the Must-Take Space 1 (in addition to the Initial Premises Base Rent and the Additional Rent for the Initial Premises) on the Must-Take 1 Rent Commencement Date; and the amount of the Must-Take Space 1 Base Rent shall be increased on each Lusk 1 & 2 Rent Adjustment Date in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Summary.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt as to the exact amount payable by Tenant as the monthly installment of Initial Premises Base Rent and Must-Take Space 1 Base Rent, promptly following the Must-Take 1 Rent Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to this Lease amending and restating Sections 4.1 thru 4.3 of the Summary in the form of a Base Rent Schedule for the Initial Premises and Must-Take Space 1, to be attached and incorporated as an exhibit to this Lease, setting forth the exact Lusk 1 & 2 Adjustment Dates and the related adjustments to Annual Base Rent and the monthly installments of Annual Base Rent payable by Tenant for the Initial Premises and Must-Take Space 1, and the exact monthly installments of Base Rent payable by Tenant for the Initial Premises and the Must-Take Space 1 for the duration of the Lease Term.  Furthermore, for purposes of calculating Tenant's obligations under Article 4 of this Lease, Tenant's Share of Building Direct Expenses for the Lusk 2 Building shall be increased in accordance with Section 6 of the Summary as of the Must-Take 1 Commencement Date.  

1.3.4 Improvement of Must-Take Space 1 .  The Tenant Improvements of the Must-Take Space 1 shall be constructed by Landlord, at Landlord's expense (subject to Tenant's obligation to fund the costs of the Tenant Improvements to the Must-Take Space 1 in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance allocated by Tenant to such Tenant Improvements in accordance with Section 5.1 of the Summary ), in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of Expansion Space Work Letter.

1.3.5 Other Terms .   Except as specifically set forth in this Lease and in the Expansion Space Work Letter, as of the Must-Take 1 Commencement Date all other terms of this Lease shall apply to the Must-Take Space 1 as though the Must-Take Space 1 was originally part of the Premises.  No later than thirty (30) days following the Must-Take 1 Commencement Date, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a notice in the form as set forth in Exhibit C-2 , attached hereto, applicable to the Must-Take Space 1, as a confirmation only of the information set forth therein, which Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof.

and conditions the Lusk 3 Work Letter.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the rentable square footage of the Must-Take Space 2 set forth in Section 2.3.3 of the Summary is an estimate, and that the Must-Take Space 2 Base Rent shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.4.4 below, payable in monthly installments and subject to annual increases in accordance with Section 4.6 of the Summary, regardless of the actual number of rentable square feet of Must-Take Space 2 (although commission and "Must-Take Space 2 Land Value" (as defined below) are based on the actual number of rentable square feet of Must-Take Space 2).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Must-Take Space 2 shall be measured, in accordance with BOMA 2010, and certified by Landlord's architect upon the Substantial Completion of the Landlord's Work of the Must-Take Space 2 (the " Landlord's Lusk 3 Work ").  Within 30 days after the Must-Take 2 Delivery Date, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s determination of the rentable area of the Must-Take Space 2 according to BOMA 2010, along with a copy of the plans and drawings (including access to electronic CAD format, if available) on which such determination was based (the " RSF Notice "). Tenant shall have the right to review Landlord's calculation (and Landlord shall reasonably cooperate in making Landlord's space planner/architect available to Tenant's space planner/architect for discussion of such calculation) during the 30-day period following Landlord's delivery of the RSF Notice, and to reasonably object to such determination by written notice to Landlord within such 30-day period.  Unless Tenant reasonably objects to Landlord's calculation within thirty (30) days after the date of the RSF Notice by delivering written notice to Landlord providing reasonable evidence in support of Tenant’s determination of a materially different rentable area of Must-Take Space 2, Landlord's determination set forth in the RSF Notice will be binding on both Landlord and Tenant.  If Tenant timely and reasonably objects to Landlord's RSF Notice in accordance with this Section 1.4.1 , then Landlord's space planner/architect and Tenant's space planner/architect shall promptly meet and attempt to agree upon the mutually-acceptable rentable square footage of Must-Take Space 2.

1.4.2 Construction of the Lusk 3 Building .  In accordance with plans and specifications approved by Tenant in accordance with the Lusk 3 Work Letter, Landlord shall commence the Landlord's Lusk 3 Work (i.e. commencement of rough grading, pouring the pad and utility work) as soon as reasonably practicable following the Lease Commencement Date, taking into consideration time reasonably required for Landlord to enter into construction agreements for the Landlord's Lusk 3 Work and obtain the necessary Permits (as defined in the Lusk 3 Work Letter) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lusk 3 Work Letter.  Landlord shall thereafter use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Landlord's Lusk 3 Work of construction of the Must-Take Space 2 on or before July 1, 2019, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lusk 3 Work Letter.  Landlord shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the Fit-Out Period Conditions (as hereinafter defined) within Must-Take Space 2, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lusk 3 Work Letter and this Section 1.4.2 , prior to the Must-Take 2 Delivery Date (as defined in Section 1.4.3 below); provided, however, that Tenant’s Rent obligations with respect to Must-Take Space 2 shall not commence until Tenant has been provided with at least sixty (60) days of non-exclusive access to Must-Take Space 2 to perform the Tenant’s Fit-Out Work (as defined in the Lusk 3 Work Letter), with the Fit-Out Period Conditions remaining in effect throughout such period (the " Must-Take Space 2 Fit-Out Period ").  The “ Fit-Out Period Conditions ” shall mean those site conditions that permit Tenant to reasonably access the Must-Take Space 2 during normal business hours on a non-exclusive basis to perform the Tenant’s Fit-Out Work (as defined in the Lusk 3 Work Letter) in a commercially-reasonable manner commencing on the date on which (i) the Must-Take Space 2 is in the condition required for such non-exclusive access by Tenant, and (ii) Tenant is provided with such non-exclusive access following reasonable advance notice of such date from Landlord, subject, however, to Tenant’s compliance with the terms and conditions of the Lusk 3 Work Letter relating to Tenant’s Fit-Out Work prior to commencing such work to commence; and further provided that Landlord and Tenant shall each act reasonably and cooperate in good faith to coordinate the Landlord's Work of the Must-Take Space 2 and Tenant's Must-Take 2 Fit-Out Work to avoid any interference with, or delay of, their respective activities in Must-Take Space 2 during the Must-Take Space 2 Fit-Out Period.  Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord may deny Tenant access to the Must-Take Space 2 during the Must-Take Space 2 Fit-Out Period if such access by Tenant would interfere with Landlord's construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Must-Take Space 2, and such temporary denial of access shall not serve to delay of extend the Must-Take Space 2 Fit-Out Period (or delay the Must-Take 2 Rent Commencement Date) provided that Landlord reasonably cooperates with Tenant to provide access as soon as possible once Tenant's access and work in the Must-Take Space 2 no longer interferes with Landlord's construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Must-Take Space 2.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that the Landlord originally named in this Lease (the “ Original Landlord ”) assigns or otherwise transfers its interest in the Project prior to (a) the Substantial Completion of the Must-Take Space 2, or (b) Landlord’s payment of all Project Costs for which Landlord is responsible under this Lease and the Lusk 3 Work Letter (collectively, the

1.4.4.5 Delivery and Review of Landlord’s Project Costs Calculation .  Landlord shall provide updated cost information to Tenant throughout Landlord’s design, permitting, construction and development of the Must-Take Space 2.  No later than ten (10) business days prior to the Must-Take 2 Delivery Date, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written notice (the “ Estimated Project Cost Notice ”) including (i) Landlord’s reasonable, good-faith estimate of the total Project Costs incurred as amounts included in the calculation of the initial Must-Take Space 2 Base Rent in accordance with this Section 1.4.4 , and (ii) an estimate of the initial Must-Take Space 2 Base Rent based upon such estimate, and Tenant shall initially pay Must-Take Space 2 Base Rent in accordance with the Estimated Project Cost Notice until the actual Project Costs to be included in the calculation of Must-Take Space 2 Base Rent in accordance with this Section 1.4.4 are determined and agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant in accordance with this Section 1.4.4.5 .  As soon as reasonably practicable following the Must-Take 2 Delivery Date (but not earlier than thirty (30) days thereafter, or Tenant's earlier confirmation that all BTS FF&E Costs to be paid or reimbursed as Project Costs have been submitted to Landlord in accordance with Section 1.4.4.2.8 ), Landlord shall determine actual Project Costs to be included in the calculation of Must-Take Space 2 Base Rent in accordance with this Section 1.4.4 and shall deliver to Tenant written notice of such determination, along with a reasonably detailed statement setting forth all costs upon which such determination was based and a revised Base Rent figure for the Must-Take Space 2 (the " Actual Project Cost Notice ").  Tenant shall have the right to review Landlord's books and records for the Landlord's Lusk 3 Work and the related Project Costs calculation (and Landlord shall reasonably cooperate in making Landlord's accountant available for discussion of such calculation) during the 30-day period following Landlord's delivery of the Actual Project Cost Notice, and to reasonably object to such determination by written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days following the expiration of such 30-day period.  Unless Tenant timely objects to Landlord's calculation following Landlord's

 

 

 

 


 

delivery of the Actual Project Cost Notice, by delivering written notice to Landlord stating that Landlord's determination is inaccurate, Landlord's determination set forth in the Actual Project Cost Notice will be binding on both Landlord and Tenant, and Tenant’s obligation to pay Must-Take Space 2 Base Rent shall be based upon the figure set forth in the Actual Project Cost Notice.  If Tenant timely objects to Landlord's determination, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly meet and attempt to agree upon the actual amount of Project Costs incurred.  If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree within thirty (30) days after Tenant's delivery of its written notice objecting thereto, Landlord and Tenant shall select an independent third party accountant to calculate the Project Costs.  Such third party independent accountant’s determination shall be conclusive and binding on Landlord and Tenant, and Landlord and Tenant shall each pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the independent third-party accountant (which fees and expenses shall not be added to Project Costs or included in Operating Expenses; provided that if such accountant determines that the amount of Project Costs stated in the Actual Project Cost Notice is within two percent (2%) of the actual Project Costs, then the fees and expenses of such accountant shall be borne entirely and exclusively by Tenant; or if such accountant determines that the amount of Project Costs stated in the Actual Project Cost Notice is more than five percent (5%) higher than actual Project Costs, then the fees and expenses of such accountant shall be borne entirely and exclusively by Landlord (which fees and expenses shall not be added to Project Costs or included in Operating Expenses).  Tenant’s first payment of Base Rent for the Must-Take Space 2 that is based on actual Project Costs (as agreed to by the parties) shall be reduced or increased as necessary to account for any difference between amounts paid by Tenant based on the Estimated Project Cost Notice and the amounts that would have been payable by Tenant with respect to such period had Tenant’s Base Rent for the Must-Take Space 2 been based on actual Project Costs (as agreed to by the parties). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, promptly following the Must-Take Space 2 Rent Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to this Lease amending and restating Sections 4.6 thru 4.8 of the Summary as a Base Rent Schedule for the Must-Take Space 2 to be attached to and incorporated into this Lease, setting forth the exact dates of adjustment to Must-Take Space 2 Base Rent, and the exact monthly installments of Must-Take Space 2 Base Rent payable by Tenant for the Must-Take Space 2 during the remaining Lease Term.

2.2.2 Option Rent .  The Rent payable by Tenant during each Option Term (the " Option Rent ") shall be equal to the " Market Rent ," as that term is defined in Exhibit F , attached hereto, as such Market Rent is determined pursuant to Exhibit F , attached hereto.  The calculation of the " Market Rent " shall be derived from a review of, and comparison to, the "Net Equivalent Lease Rates" of the "Comparable Transactions," as provided for in Exhibit F , and, thereafter, the Market Rent shall be stated as a "Net Equivalent Lease Rate" for the Option Term.  Tenant shall continue to pay one hundred percent (100%) of all Additional Rent payable by Tenant during each such Option Term.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, SMB Rent shall cease to be due and payable upon the expiration of the initial Lease Term (including during any holdover period), and shall not be payable as Rent during any Option Term.

4.3 Allocation of Direct Expenses .  The parties acknowledge that the Building is a part of a multi-building project and that the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project (i.e., the Direct Expenses) should be shared between the Building and the other buildings in the Project.  Accordingly, as set forth in Section 4.2 above, Direct Expenses (which consist of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses) are determined annually for the Project as a whole, and a portion of the Direct Expenses, which portion shall be determined by Landlord on an equitable basis, shall be allocated to the Building (as opposed to other buildings in the Project).  Such portion of Direct Expenses allocated to the Building shall include all Direct Expenses attributable solely to the Building and an equitable portion of the Direct Expenses attributable to the Project as a whole, and shall not include Direct Expenses attributable solely to other buildings in the Project.

4.4 Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent .  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.4.1 , below, and as Additional Rent, Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses for each Expense Year.

4.4.1 Statement of Actual Direct Expenses and Payment by Tenant .  Landlord shall give to Tenant within one hundred fifty (120) days following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the " Statement ") which shall state with commercially reasonable detail the Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount of Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses.  Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay the full amount of Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as Estimated Direct Expenses (as that term is defined in Section 4.4.2 , below), and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Direct Expenses than the actual Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses, Tenant shall receive a credit in the amount of Tenant's overpayment against Rent next due under this Lease.  The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Article 4 .  Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord’s request therefor, pay to Landlord such amount, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Direct Expenses than the actual Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days, deliver a check payable to Tenant in the amount of the overpayment.  The provisions of this Section 4.4.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, provided that, other than increased costs from a governmental entity or a utility company first billed to Landlord after the applicable Expense Year, Tenant shall not be responsible for Tenant's Share of any Direct Expenses which are first billed to Tenant more than two (2) calendar years after the end of the Expense Year to which such Direct Expenses relate.

4.4.2 Statement of Estimated Direct Expenses .  In addition, Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the " Estimate Statement ") which shall set forth Landlord's reasonable, good

 

 

 

 


 

faith estimate (the " Estimate ") of what the total amount of Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses (the " Estimated Direct Expenses ").  The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Direct Expenses under this Article 4 , nor shall Landlord be prohibited from revising any Estimate Statement or Estimated Direct Expenses theretofore delivered to the extent necessary.  Thereafter, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimated Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.4.2 ).  Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the month of such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator.  Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Direct Expenses set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) in the event that an estimate statement for the Expense Year in which the Lease Term commences was delivered to Tenant in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Initial Lease, such estimate statement shall be the Estimate Statement for such initial Expense Year for the purposes of this Section 4.4.2 , and (b) as long as no Event of Default exists under the Initial Lease as of the Lease Commencement Date, Estimated Direct Expenses payable by Tenant for the first partial month of the Lease Term pursuant to this Section 4.4.2 shall be fully satisfied by Landlord's application of the estimated direct expenses paid by Tenant for the last calendar month of the Initial Lease, as hereby terminated.

4.5 Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible .  Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay before delinquency, taxes levied against Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property located in or about the Premises.  If any such taxes on Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord's property or if the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or any other personal property and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment, as the case may be.

4.6 Landlord's Records .  Upon Tenant's written request given not more than six (6) months after Tenant's receipt of a Statement for a particular Expense Year, and provided that Tenant is not then in default under this Lease beyond the applicable notice and cure period provided in this Lease, specifically including, but not limited to, the timely payment of Additional Rent (whether or not the same is the subject of the audit contemplated herein), Landlord shall furnish Tenant with such reasonable supporting documentation in connection with said Direct Expenses as Tenant may reasonably request.  Landlord shall provide said documentation to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant's written request therefor.  Within ninety (90) days after receipt of said documentation from Landlord (the " Audit Period "), if Tenant disputes the amount of Direct Expenses set forth in the Statement, an independent certified public accountant (which accountant (A) is a member of a nationally or regionally recognized certified public accounting firm which has previous experience in auditing financial operating records of landlords of office buildings, and (B) is not working on a contingency fee basis [i.e., Tenant must be billed based on the actual time and materials that are incurred by the certified public accounting firm in the performance of the audit]) designated and paid for by Tenant, may, after reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, audit Landlord's records with respect to Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in question at Landlord's corporate offices in San Diego, California, provided that ( i ) Tenant is not then in default under this Lease (beyond the applicable notice and cure periods provided under this Lease), ( ii ) Tenant has paid all amounts required to be paid under the applicable Estimate Statement and Statement, and ( iii ) a copy of the audit agreement between Tenant and its particular certified public accounting firm has been delivered to Landlord prior to the commencement of the audit.  In connection with such audit, Tenant and Tenant's certified public accounting firm must agree in advance to follow Landlord's reasonable rules and procedures regarding an audit of the aforementioned Landlord records, and shall execute a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement regarding such audit.  Any audit report prepared by Tenant's certified public accounting firm shall be delivered concurrently to Landlord and Tenant as soon as reasonably practicable following the completion thereof.  Tenant's failure to audit the amount of Direct Expenses set forth in any Statement within the Audit Period shall be deemed to be Tenant's approval of such Statement and Tenant, thereafter, waives the right or ability to audit the amounts set forth in such Statement.  If after such audit, Tenant still disputes such Direct Expenses, an audit to determine the proper amount shall be made, at Tenant's

 

 

 

 


 

expense, by an independent certified public accountant (the " Accountant ") selected by Landlord and subject to Tenant's reasonable approval; provided that if such audit by the Accountant proves that Direct Expenses set forth in the particular Statement were overstated by more than five percent (5%), then the cost of the Accountant and the cost of Tenant’s audit shall be paid for by Landlord and such payment by Landlord shall not be subject to reimbursement by Tenant through Direct Expenses or otherwise.  In the event that such audit reveals an overstatement of any amount, Landlord shall promptly remit such amount to Tenant, plus interest; provided that, for purposes of calculating the amount due to Tenant under this sentence, the amount of the overstatement shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12%), commencing from the date on which the results of such audit are provided to Landlord in writing.  Following such determination by the Accountant, Landlord or Tenant, as appropriate, shall pay to the other the amount shown owing by the Accountant.  Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant's sole right to audit Landlord's records and to contest the amount of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant shall be as set forth in this Section 4.6 , and Tenant hereby waives any and all other rights pursuant to applicable law to audit such records and/or to contest the amount of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant.

7.2 Landlord Repair Obligations .  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall at all times during the Lease Term maintain in good condition and operating order, in a manner consistent with the landlords of the Comparable Buildings, (i) the structural portions of all Project Structures, including, without limitation, the foundations, floor slabs, ceilings, roofs (including membranes, surfaces and seals), columns, beams, shafts, stairs, stairwells, and all sprinkler, fire and life safety systems  (collectively, the " Non-Assumable Obligations "), and (ii) the existing mechanical, electrical, lighting, plumbing, elevator and HVAC systems installed or furnished by Landlord (collectively, the " Building Systems "), the Common Areas, restrooms, and any components of utility or plumbing systems not located within Project Structures (collectively, the " Assumable Obligations "), except to the extent that such repairs are required due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant; provided, however, that if such repairs are due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, Landlord shall nevertheless make such repairs at Tenant's expense, or, if covered by Landlord's insurance, Tenant shall only be obligated to pay any deductible in connection therewith. Subject to the terms and conditions of Article 27 , Landlord may, but shall not be required to, enter the Premises at all reasonable times to make such repairs to the Premises or to the Project or to any equipment located in the Project to the extent reasonably necessary for Landlord to satisfy the Landlord Repair Obligation or as Landlord may be required to do by governmental or quasi-governmental authority or court order or decree.

practices of landlords of the Comparable Buildings, such Replacement Unit does in fact need to be replaced, then Tenant shall have the option to require Landlord to bear the actual and reasonable out-of-pocket cost of such Replacement Unit, subject to Landlord’s right to include such cost in Operating Expenses to the extent permitted by Section 4.2.4 ).  If Landlord does not agree with Tenant that, in accordance with commercially reasonable real estate management and accounting principles consistent with the practices of landlords of the Comparable Buildings, such Replacement Unit needs to be replaced, then Tenant may institute arbitration proceedings pursuant to arbitration administered by the JAMS or any successor thereto under the Expedited Procedures provisions (Rules 16.1-16.2 in the current edition) of the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (" Expedited JAMS Arbitration "), and such determination rendered by the arbitrator shall be binding upon the parties and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

7.4 Landlord's Right to Perform Tenant-Assumed Obligations .  If Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant is not performing any Tenant-Assumed Obligation in accordance with the terms of Section 7.3.1 , above, then Landlord shall have the right to either (i) perform such Tenant-Assumed Obligation by delivering notice of such election to Tenant (in which event Tenant shall no longer have the right to perform the Tenant-Assumed Obligation pursuant to Section 7.3 , above), or (ii) require Tenant to perform such Tenant-Assumed Obligation in accordance with the terms of Section 7.3.1 , above.  In addition, if Tenant fails to perform any Tenant-Assumed Obligation within a reasonable time period, as reasonably determined by Landlord, then Landlord may, but need not, following delivery of notice to Tenant of such election, satisfy such Tenant-Assumed Obligation, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof, (including Landlord's reasonable supervision fee equal to two percent (2%) of the cost thereof) within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor.  If Landlord and Tenant disagree on whether or not Tenant is performing any Tenant-Assumed Obligation in accordance with the terms of Section 7.3.1 , either party may submit the dispute to Expedited JAMS Arbitration.

7.5 Tenant's Right to Make Repairs .  Notwithstanding any of the terms set forth in this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant provides notice to Landlord of an event or circumstance which requires the action of Landlord with respect to any Landlord Repair Obligation in connection with a Building leased solely by Tenant, excluding repairs to the Building Structure or Building Systems, which event or circumstance materially and adversely affects the conduct of Tenant's business from such Building, and Landlord fails to commence corrective action within a reasonable period of time, given the circumstances, after the receipt of such notice, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice (or such lesser period as is reasonable under the circumstances in the event of an "Emergency," as that term is defined hereinbelow), then Tenant may (i) compel Landlord to perform its obligations or obtain an order of the applicable court authorizing Tenant to perform the unfulfilled maintenance obligation at Landlord’s expense, or (ii) proceed to take the required action upon delivery of an additional ten (10) business days' notice to Landlord specifying that Tenant is taking such required action (provided, however, that the subsequent ten (10)-day notice shall be reduced to a period as is reasonable under the circumstances in the event of an Emergency) and if such action was required under the terms of this Lease to be taken by Landlord and was not commenced by Landlord within such ten (10) business day (or shorter in the Emergency) period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion, then Tenant shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement by Landlord of Tenant's reasonable and out-of-pocket costs and expenses in taking such action.  In the event Tenant takes such action, Tenant shall use only those contractors used by Landlord in the Project for similar work unless such contractors are unwilling or unable to perform, or timely perform, such work, in which event Tenant may utilize the services of any other qualified contractor which normally and regularly performs similar work in Comparable Buildings.  Following completion of any work taken by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.5 , Tenant shall deliver a reasonably

 

 

 

 


 

detailed invoice of the work completed, the materials used and the costs relating thereto.  If Landlord does not deliver a detailed written objection to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Tenant, then Tenant shall be entitled to deduct from Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease, the amount set forth in such invoice.  If, however, Landlord delivers to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's invoice, a written objection to the payment of such invoice, setting forth with reasonable particularity Landlord's reasons for its claim that such action did not have to be taken by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease or that the charges are excessive (in which case Landlord shall pay the amount it contends would not have been excessive), then Tenant shall not then be entitled to such deduction from Rent; provided, however, that such prohibition on deduction of the cost of work which Landlord contends is excessive shall not affect Landlord’s obligation to reimburse Tenant for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses to the extent that the cost of Tenant’s work invoiced in accordance with this Section 7.5 is determined to be reasonable pursuant to a determination made by the arbitrator in an Expedited JAMS Arbitration.  On the other hand, Tenant may proceed to claim a default by Landlord or, if elected by either Landlord or Tenant, the matter shall proceed to resolution by litigation.  If Tenant prevails in the litigation, it may deduct the amount of the initial judgment (including attorney fees pursuant to Section 29.21 below) from the Rent next due and owing under this Lease.  For purposes of this Section 7.5 , an " Emergency " shall mean an event threatening immediate and material danger to people located in the Building or immediate, material damage to the Tenant Improvements, or Alterations, or creates a realistic possibility of an immediate and material interference with, or immediate and material interruption of a material aspect of Tenant's business operations.

(including, without limitation, any Common Areas serving or providing access to the Premises) shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore such Base Building Improvements to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws, provided that access to the Premises shall not be materially impaired.  Upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises Improvements, unless Landlord elects to terminate this Lease by timely delivery of a Landlord Termination Notice to Tenant in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 11.2, Landlord may elect to repair the Premises Improvements utilizing the proceeds of Tenant’s insurance by delivering written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s election to do so within sixty (60) days after the date of discovery of the damage (a " Landlord Repair Notice "), and if Landlord so elects, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant's insurance required under Section 10.3(ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Lease and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the Premises Improvements and shall return the Premises (including all Base Building Improvements and Premises Improvements) to the condition existing prior to the applicable damage or other casualty; provided that if neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to exercise its right to terminate this Lease under this Article 11 , and Landlord timely delivers a Landlord Repair Notice to Tenant in accordance with this Section 11.1 , above, and the cost of the Landlord repairs to the Premises Improvements exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant's insurance carrier (including by taking into account any deductible or self-insured retention), as assigned by Tenant, then, to the extent that the cost of such repairs by Landlord exceeds such sum, such excess cost of repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord's commencement of such repairs to the Premises Improvements .  In the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to exercise its right to terminate this Lease under this Article 11 and Landlord does not deliver the Landlord Repair Notice within sixty (60) days following the date the casualty becomes known to Landlord, in accordance with this Section 11.1 , above, Tenant shall repair any injury or damage to the Premises Improvements, subject to Landlord's restoration of the Base Building Improvements to a condition reasonably permitting such repairs to occur; provided that the foregoing right of Landlord to elect to repair the Premises Improvements or to cause Tenant to repair the Premises Improvements shall not be applicable in the event that Tenant elects to terminate this Lease following any casualty causing damage to the Premises in accordance with Section 11.2 .  Whether or not Landlord delivers a Landlord Repair Notice, prior to the commencement of such repairs or restoration of the Premises Improvements by Landlord or Tenant , Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord's review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto (provided that Tenant shall not be required to include any Specialty Alterations that were part of the Premises Improvements prior to such fire or any other casualty in Tenant's plans, specifications and working drawings), and all contractors selected by Tenant to perform such repairs.  Tenant shall in addition cooperate with requests for information regarding any repairs from Landlord’s insurer(s) by providing the requested information within ten (10) business days after Tenant receives Landlord's written request for such information .  Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant's business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas necessary to Tenant's occupancy, and the Premises are not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof, then during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy, the Rent shall be abated in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which is unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises.

11.2 Landlord's Option to Repair .  Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the damage to any affected Building or Buildings, and instead terminate this Lease with respect to such affected Building or Buildings, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination, along with the conditions upon which Landlord’s election is based pursuant to subheadings (i), (ii) or (iii) as hereinafter set forth (a " Landlord Termination Notice ") within sixty (60) days after the date of discovery of the damage, with such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant at least sixty (60) days to vacate the portion of the Premises located in the Building or Buildings for which this Lease is being terminated, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building or Buildings shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) in Landlord's reasonable judgment, repairs required to restore the Premises to the condition required by Section 11.1 , above, cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of discovery of the damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Building or Project or ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground lease, as the

 

 

 

 


 

case may be; (iii) Landlord and Tenant have maintained all insurance required by this Lease, but the damage to the Premises is not fully covered by Landlord's insurance and the Tenant's insurance proceeds assigned (or assignable) to Landlord in accordance with Section 11.1 ; or (iv) such casualty occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term (as the same may be extended by Tenant under Section 2.2 or as otherwise agreed to by the parties); provided, however, that if Landlord does not elect to deliver a Landlord Termination Notice pursuant to Landlord's termination right as provided above, and the repairs required to return the Premises to the condition existing immediately prior to such damage cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of discovery of the damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums), or if the casualty occurs within the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, then Tenant may elect, no earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of the damage and not later than ninety (90) days after the date of such damage, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in the notice; provided further that, if Landlord notifies Tenant of its election to terminate this Lease by timely delivery of a Landlord Termination Notice to Tenant based upon the condition set forth under subheading (iii) above, Tenant shall have the option to prevent such termination by delivering notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of such Landlord Termination Notice, providing that Tenant has agreed to pay the cost of repairs of the Premises in excess of Landlord’s and Tenant's combined insurance proceeds together with reasonable evidence demonstrating Tenant's ability to pay such cost.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.2 , Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease with respect to any affected Building or Buildings under this Section 11.2 only if each of the following conditions is satisfied:  (a) the damage to the Project by fire or other casualty was not caused by the gross negligence or intentional act of Tenant or its partners or subpartners and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors; (b) Tenant is not then in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period; (c) as a result of the damage, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the affected Building or Buildings is substantially affected or Tenant cannot reasonably conduct business from a material portion of the Premises located in such affected Building or Buildings; and (d) as a result of the damage to the Project, Tenant does not occupy or use a material portion of the Premises located in such affected Building or Buildings at all and that remaining portion of the Premises located in such affected Building or Buildings, if any, is not reasonably suitable for the conduct of Tenant's business.  In addition to the foregoing, in the event that the damage is limited to less than all of the Buildings in the Project, and in accordance with this Section 11.2 , either (y) Landlord terminates this Lease with respect to one or more affected Buildings, or (z) Tenant has the right to terminate this Lease with respect to one or more affected Buildings, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease in its entirety as of the effective date of the termination of this Lease with respect to the affected Building or Buildings, if the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) are satisfied; and such damage either (i) results in the termination of this Lease with respect to one or both of the Existing Buildings or (ii) as a result of the damage to the Project, the remaining portion of the Premises located in the Project is not reasonably suitable for the continued conduct of Tenant's business at the Project, and Tenant does not conduct business from any material portion of the Premises; provided, however, in no event shall damage to the Lusk 3 Building in and of itself be deemed to cause Tenant to not be able to reasonably conduct business in the Lusk 1 Building and the Lusk 2 Building nor make the Lusk 1 Building and/or the Lusk 2 Building not reasonably suitable for the continued conduct of Tenant's business at the Project.

11.3 Waiver of Statutory Provisions .  The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11 , constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project, and any statute or regulation of the State of California, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project.

12. NONWAIVER .  No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by either party hereto unless expressly waived in a writing signed thereby.  The waiver by either party hereto of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained.  The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent.  No acceptance of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and

 

 

 

 


 

satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the full amount due.  No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Lease Term or of Tenant's right of possession hereunder, or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit, or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.

13. CONDEMNATION .  If the whole or any part of the Premises, Building or Project shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises, Building or Project, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, then, provided that such event has a material adverse effect on Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises (which shall include, without limitation, the prevention of construction of the Lusk 3 Building), or if the remaining portion of the Project cannot be operated by Landlord as a First Class Life Sciences Project in a commercially feasible manner, then either party shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority.  Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any claim against Landlord or the authority for any compensation because of such taking and Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant's personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, for loss of goodwill, business and business interruption, and for moving expenses, so long as such claims do not diminish the award available to Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project or its mortgagee, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant.  All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination.  If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall  not be so terminated, the Rent shall be proportionately abated and Landlord shall, to the extent of the condemnation proceeds received by Landlord, promptly restore the remaining Premises to the same condition they were in immediately prior to such condemnation.  Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of The California Code of Civil Procedure.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 13 , in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and the Additional Rent shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises.  Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking.

14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING .

14.1 Transfers .  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Article 14 , Tenant shall not, without the written consent of Landlord, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment, or other transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or enter into any license or concession agreements or otherwise permit the occupancy or use of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons other than Tenant and its employees and contractors (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as " Transfers " and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a " Transferee ").  If Tenant desires Landlord's consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the " Transfer Notice ") shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than twenty (20) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the " Subject Space "), (iii) the basic material terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including calculation of the " Transfer Premium ", as that term is defined in Section 14.3 below, in connection with such Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, and (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, business credit and personal references and history of the proposed Transferee and any other information reasonably required by Landlord which will enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee's business and proposed use of the Subject Space.  Any Transfer made without Landlord's prior written consent (or deemed

 

 

 

 


 

consent) shall, at Landlord's option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord's option, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease.  In addition, at Tenant's option, any Transfer may include Tenant’s appurtenant interest in the Tenant’s FF&E, and the granting of such appurtenant interest shall be without any additional rent or payment to Landlord by the Transferee for its use or possession of the Tenant’s FF&E during the term of the Transfer.  Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, except with respect to Permitted Transfers, Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable review and processing fees, as well as any reasonable professional fees (including, without limitation, attorneys', accountants', architects', engineers' and consultants' fees) incurred by Landlord (which, in the aggregate, shall not exceed $2,500.00 in connection with any proposed Transfer in the ordinary course of business) within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord.

14.2 Landlord's Consent .  Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice and shall respond to Tenant's request for consent within twenty (20) days following the date upon which Landlord receives a "complete" Transfer Notice from Tenant (i.e., a Transfer Notice that includes all documents and information required pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, above). If Landlord fails to timely deliver to Tenant notice of Landlord's consent, or the withholding of consent, to a proposed Transfer, Tenant may send a second (2nd) notice to Landlord, which notice must contain the following inscription, in bold faced lettering: " SECOND NOTICE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 14 OF LEASE - - FAILURE TO TIMELY RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL RESULT IN DEEMED APPROVAL OF ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE ." If Landlord fails to deliver notice of Landlord's consent to, or the withholding of Landlord's consent, to the proposed assignment or sublease within such five (5) business day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the assignment or sublease in question.  Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply:

14.2.1 The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with First Class Life Sciences Projects;

14.2.2 The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof;

14.2.3 The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with the Transfer on the date consent is requested; or

14.2.4 The proposed Transfer would cause a violation of another lease for space in the Project, or would give an occupant of the Project a right to cancel its lease.

If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2 , Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord's consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any material changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2 , Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed its consent under Section 14.2 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Article 14 , their sole remedies shall be a suit for damages (other than damages for injury to, or interference with, Tenant's business including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring) or declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all Applicable Laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee.

14.3 Transfer Premium .  If Landlord consents to a Transfer (other than a Section 14.8 Deemed Consent Transfer to a Permitted Transferee), as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any " Transfer Premium ," as that term is defined in this Section 14.3 , received by Tenant from such Transferee.  " Transfer Premium " shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration received by Tenant in connection with the Transfer in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred, and after deduction of (i) any costs of improvements made to the Subject Space in

 

 

 

 


 

connection with such Transfer, including any improvement allowances, (ii) brokerage commissions paid in connection with such Transfer, (iii) reasonable legal fees incurred in connection with such Transfer, (iv) free base rent or other economic concessions reasonably provided to the Transferee, (v) costs of advertising the subject space, (vi) any lease takeover costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the Transfer, and (vii) Landlord's review and processing fees and professional fees paid in accordance with Section 14.1 , which deduction shall be performed after amortizing all such deductible amounts at 8.0% interest over the term of the Transfer.  " Transfer Premium " shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer.  The determination of the amount of Landlord's applicable share of the Transfer Premium shall be made on a monthly basis as rent or other consideration is received by Tenant under the Transfer.

14.4 Intentionally Omitted .

14.5 Effect of Transfer .  If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iv) Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord's request a complete statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, or Tenant's chief financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer, and (v) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord's consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from any liability under this Lease, including, without limitation, in connection with the Subject Space.  Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have a one-time (with respect to each Transfer) right at all reasonable times after reasonable advance notice to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof.  If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency, and if understated by more than five percent (5%), Tenant shall pay Landlord's costs of such audit.

14.6 Additional Transfers .  For purposes of this Lease, the term " Transfer " shall also include (i) if Tenant is a partnership, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the partners, or transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of partnership interests, within a twelve (12)-month period, or the dissolution of the partnership without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a closely held corporation ( i.e. , whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter), (A)  the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or (B) the sale or other transfer of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period, or (C) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12)-month period.

14.7 Occurrence of Default .  Any Transfer hereunder shall be subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be terminated during the term of any Transfer, Landlord shall have the right to:  (i) treat such Transfer as cancelled and repossess the Subject Space by any lawful means, or (ii) require that such Transferee attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord under any such Transfer.  If Tenant shall be in default under this Lease, Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized, as Tenant's agent and attorney-in-fact, to direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant's obligations under this Lease) until such default is cured.  Such Transferee shall rely on any representation by Landlord that Tenant is in default hereunder, without any need for confirmation thereof by Tenant.  Upon any assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing all obligations and covenants of Tenant thereafter to be performed or observed under this Lease.  No collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 14 or the approval of any Transferee or a release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, whether theretofore or thereafter accruing.  In no event shall Landlord's enforcement of any provision of this Lease against any Transferee be deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to enforce any term of this Lease against Tenant or any other person.  If Tenant's obligations hereunder have been guaranteed, Landlord's consent to any Transfer shall not be effective unless the guarantor also consents to such Transfer.

 

 

 

 


 

14.8 Deemed Consent Transfers .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, (A) an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an affiliate of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant as of the date of the Transfer), (B) a sale of corporate shares of capital stock in Tenant on a nationally-recognized stock exchange, (C) an assignment of the Lease to an entity which acquires all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant, or (D) an assignment of the Lease to an entity which is the resulting entity of a merger or consolidation of Tenant during the Lease Term, shall not be deemed a Transfer requiring Landlord's consent under this Article 14 (any such assignee or sublessee described in items (A) through (D) of this Section 14.8 hereinafter referred to as a " Permitted Transferee "), provided that (i) Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such transfer or transferee as set forth above (unless to do so violates state or Federal securities law, or any confidentiality agreement binding on Tenant, in which case Tenant shall notify Landlord within ten (10) days after the Transfer), (ii) Tenant is not in default, beyond any applicable notice and cure period, and such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease, (iii) such Permitted Transferee shall be of a character and reputation consistent with the quality of the Building, (iv) such Permitted Transferee and Tenant shall have a combined tangible net worth (not including goodwill as an asset) computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (" Net Worth ") at least equal to the Net Worth of Tenant on the day immediately preceding the effective date of such assignment or sublease, and (v) no assignment relating to this Lease, whether with or without Landlord's consent, shall relieve Tenant from any liability under this Lease, and, in the event of an assignment of Tenant's entire interest in this Lease, the liability of Tenant and such transferee shall be joint and several.  An assignee of Tenant's entire interest in this Lease who qualifies as a Permitted Transferee may also be referred to herein as a " Permitted Transferee Assignee ."  "Control," as used in this Section 14.8 , shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Article 14 , the Original Tenant and any Permitted Transferee Assignee shall have the right, without the receipt of Landlord's consent and without payment to Landlord of the Transfer Premium, but on not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, to permit the occupancy of up to ten percent (10%) of the Premises, in the aggregate, to any individual(s) with an ongoing business relationship with Tenant (other than the dual occupancy of the Premises), including any Permitted Transferee, which occupancy shall include the use of a corresponding interior support area and other portions of the Premises which shall be common to Tenant and the permitted occupants, on and subject to the following conditions: (i) each individual or entity shall be of a character and reputation consistent with the quality of the Building and the Project; (ii) no individual or entity shall occupy a separately demised portion of the Premises or which contains an entrance to such portion of the Premises other than the primary entrance to the Premises; (iii) the rent, if any, paid by such occupants shall not be greater than the rent allocable on a pro rata basis to the portion of the Premises occupied by such occupants, and (iv) such occupancy shall not be a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease or the restrictions on Transfers pursuant to this Article 14 . Tenant shall promptly supply Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding any such individuals or entities. Any occupancy permitted under this Section 14. 9 shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 14 . Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such occupancy shall relieve Tenant from any liability under this Lease.

15. SURRENDER OF PREMISES; OWNERSHIP AND REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES .

15.1 Surrender of Premises .  No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in writing by Landlord.  The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly terminated.  The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises or terminate any or all such sublessees or subtenancies.

 

 

 

 


 

15.2 Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant .  Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 15 , quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took possession, reasonable wear and tear and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Tenant shall not be required to restore any portion of the Premises (except for any Specialty Alterations and to the extent that Tenant’s removal of improvements or equipment cause damage to the Premises) or remove any cabling in connection with such surrender of possession, and (ii) with respect to the Initial Premises, Tenant’s obligation under this sentence shall be limited to quitting and surrendering possession to Landlord in as good order and condition as exists on the Lease Commencement Date.  Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal.

15.3 Environmental Assessment .  In connection with its surrender of the Premises, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expiration date of this Lease (or in the event of an earlier termination of this Lease, as soon as reasonably possible following such termination), an Environmental Assessment of the Premises by a competent and experienced environmental consultant or environmental consulting firm reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (pursuant to a contract approved by Landlord and providing that Landlord can rely on the Environmental Assessment), which (i) evidences that the Premises are in a clean and safe condition and free and clear of any Hazardous Materials; and (ii) includes a review of the Premises by an environmental consultant for asbestos, mold, fungus, spores, and other moisture conditions, on-site chemical use, and lead-based paint.  If such Environmental Assessment reveals that remediation or Clean-up is required under any Environmental Laws, to the extent that such remediation or Clean-up would be Tenant’s responsibility under Section 5.3 above, Tenant shall submit a remediation plan prepared by an environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to Landlord and shall be responsible for all costs of remediation and Clean-up, as more particularly provided in Section 5.3 , above.

15.4 Condition of the Building and Premises Upon Surrender .  In addition to the above requirements of this Article 15 , upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, surrender the Premises and Building such that the same reflect Tenant’s compliance with all Applicable Laws and with all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, including those relating to improvement, repair, maintenance, compliance with law, testing and other related obligations of Tenant set forth in Article 7 of this Lease; provided that such obligation shall not require the repair of any damage caused by ordinary wear and tear, or damage by casualty or condemnation, or damage which is Landlord’s responsibility under this Lease.  In the event that the Building and Premises shall be surrendered in a condition which does not comply with the terms of this Section 15.4 , because Tenant failed to comply with its obligations set forth in Lease, then following thirty (30) days’ notice to Tenant, during which thirty (30) day period Tenant shall have the right to cure such noncompliance, Landlord shall be entitled to expend all reasonable costs in order to cause the same to comply with the required condition upon surrender and Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of Landlord’s written demand therefor, reimburse Landlord for all such costs.

16. HOLDING OVER .  If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination thereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term.  Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease (including without limitation any SMB Rent payable by Tenant), plus one hundred percent (100%) of all Additional Rent;.  Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other applicable term, covenant and agreement contained herein.  Nothing contained in this Article 16 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease.  The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law.  If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises within ninety (90) days following the later of (i) the date that Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord has leased all or a portion of the Premises to a third party (such notice specifying with reasonable detail the damages that Landlord

 

 

 

 


 

reasonably expects to incur in the event of a holdover), and (b) the termination or expiration of this Lease, then, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.

17. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES; FINANCIAL STATEMENTS .  Within ten (10) business days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit D, attached hereto (or such other commercially reasonable form as may be required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Project, or any portion thereof), indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee or prospective mortgagee.  Any such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of all or any portion of the Project.  Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes.  At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord with a current financial statement and financial statements of the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year; provided that Tenant shall not be required to provide any such statements more than once per calendar year other than in connection with a financing of all or a portion of the Project or a transfer of all or a portion of the Project ownership.  Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant.  Failure of Tenant to timely execute, acknowledge and deliver such estoppel certificate or other instruments, following Landlord's delivery to Tenant of a notice pursuant to, and the expiration of the time period set forth in, Section 19.1.4 of this Lease , below, shall constitute an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (i) stock in the entity which constitutes Tenant under this Lease (as opposed to an entity that "controls" Tenant or is otherwise an "Affiliate" of Tenant, as those terms are defined in Section 14.8 of this Lease) is publicly traded on a national stock exchange, and (ii) Tenant has its own, separate and distinct 10K and 10Q filing requirements (as opposed joint or cumulative filings with an entity that controls Tenant or with entities which are otherwise Affiliates of Tenant), then Tenant's obligation to provide Landlord with a copy of its most recent current financial statement shall be deemed satisfied.

18. SUBORDINATION .  This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Building or Project and to the lien of any mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrances now or hereafter in force against the Building or Project or any part thereof, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages, trust deeds or other encumbrances, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto (collectively, the " Superior Holders "); provided, however, that in consideration of and a condition precedent to Tenant’s agreement to subordinate this Lease to any mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrances shall be the receipt by Tenant of a subordination non-disturbance and attornment agreement in a commercially reasonable form and with terms and conditions consistent with similar agreements then being provided to tenants of comparable space to the Premises in First Class Life Science Projects, which requires such Superior Holder to accept this lease, and not to disturb tenant’s possession, so long as Tenant is not in default beyond applicable notice and cure periods (a " SNDAA ").  Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed in lieu thereof (or if any ground lease is terminated), to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the lienholder or purchaser or any successors thereto upon any such foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof (or to the ground lessor), if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor as the lessor under this Lease, provided such lienholder or purchaser or ground lessor shall agree (in a written document signed by such lienholder or purchaser or ground lessor) to accept this Lease and not disturb Tenant's occupancy, so long as Tenant is not in default beyond applicable notice and cure periods.  Landlord's interest herein may be assigned as security at any time to any lienholder.  Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases.  Conversely, at Tenant's request, Landlord shall diligently seek an SNDAA from its Superior Holders and, by execution of this Lease, Tenant requests Landlord to do so with respect to any existing Superior Holders as of the date of this Lease.  Tenant’s failure to timely execute, acknowledge and deliver a SNDAA or other instrument requested by Landlord under this Article 18 shall not

 

 

 

 


 

constitute a default of Tenant under this Lease unless Landlord delivers to Tenant a second written notice pursuant to Section 19.1.4 , below, indicating that Tenant is in default for its failure to timely deliver the executed SNDAA, and such default shall become an Event of Default if such Tenant-executed SNDAA is not received by Landlord within ten (10) business days following Tenant’s receipt of such second notice.  Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale.

19. DEFAULTS; REMEDIES .

19.1 Events of Default .  The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an " Event of Default " of this Lease by Tenant:

19.1.1 Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, when due unless such failure is cured within five (5) business days after notice; or

19.1.2 Except where a specific time period is otherwise set forth for Tenant's performance in this Lease, in which event the failure to perform by Tenant within such time period shall be a default by Tenant under this Section 19.1.2 , any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure such default; or

19.1.3 Abandonment (as defined by applicable law) of the Premises by Tenant; or

19.1.4 The failure by Tenant to observe or perform according to the provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2 or Articles 14 , 17 or 18 of this Lease where such failure continues for more than ten (10) business days after notice from Landlord of such failure; provided that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within ten (10) business days, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure such default.

19.1.5 Intentionally omitted.

The notice periods provided herein are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice periods provided by law.

19.2 Remedies Upon Default .  Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity (all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate and cumulative), the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever.

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

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

(ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

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

 

 

 

 


 

(iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; and

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

The term " rent " as used in this Section 19.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others.  As used in Sections 19.2.1(i) and (ii) , above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate set forth in Article 25 of this Lease, but in no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law.  As used in Section 19.2.1(iii) above, the " worth at the time of award " shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

19.2.2 Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations).  Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.

19.2.3 Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies available under Sections 19.2.1 and 19.2.2 , above, or any law or other provision of this Lease), without prior demand or notice except as required by applicable law, to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof.

19.3 Subleases of Tenant .  If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 19 , Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord's sole discretion, succeed to Tenant's interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements.  In the event of Landlord's election to succeed to Tenant's interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.

19.4 Efforts to Relet .  No re-entry or repossession, repairs, maintenance, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord's interests hereunder, or any other action or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant's right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the Premises, nor shall same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant's obligations hereunder, unless express written notice of such intention is sent by Landlord to Tenant.

19.5 Landlord Default .

19.5.1 General .  Except where a specific time period is otherwise set forth for Landlord’s performance in this Lease, Landlord shall not be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord's failure to perform; provided, however, 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 under this Lease if it shall commence such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursue the same to completion.  Upon any such default by Landlord under this Lease, Tenant may, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease to the contrary, exercise any of its rights provided at law or in equity.

19.5.2 Abatement of Rent .  In the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, as a result of (i) any repair, maintenance or alteration performed by Landlord, or which Landlord failed to perform and required by this Lease, which substantially interferes with Tenant's use of the

 

 

 

 


 

Premises or a portion thereof, or (ii) any failure to provide services, utilities or access to the Premises as required by this Lease, or (iii) any unreasonable interference with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises caused by Landlord's activities at the Project, or (iv) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord (any such set of circumstances as set forth in items (i)-(iv), above, to be known as an " Abatement Event "), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such Abatement Event, and if such Abatement Event continues for three (3) consecutive business days after Landlord's receipt of any such notice (the " Eligibility Period "), then the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses, shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, upon expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use for the normal conduct of Tenant's business, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of the Premises; provided, however, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, a portion of the Premises for a period of time in excess of the Eligibility Period and the remaining portion of the Premises is not sufficient to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its business therein, and if Tenant does not conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for such time after expiration of the Eligibility Period during which Tenant is so prevented from effectively conducting its business therein, the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses for the entire Premises shall be abated for such time as Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises.  If, however, Tenant reoccupies any portion of the Premises during such period, the Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion, based on the proportion that the rentable area of such reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the total rentable area of the Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date Tenant reoccupies such portion of the Premises.  To the extent an Abatement Event is caused by an event covered by Articles 11 or 13 of this Lease, then Tenant's right to abate rent shall be governed by the terms of such Article 11 or 13 , as applicable, and the Eligibility Period shall not be applicable thereto.  Such right to abate Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy for rent abatement at law or in equity for an Abatement Event.  Except as provided in this Section 19.5.2 , nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to mean that Tenant is excused from paying Rent due hereunder.

20. COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT .  Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent, charges for services and other payments herein reserved and on keeping, observing and performing all the other terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements hereof without interference by any persons lawfully claiming by or through Landlord.  The foregoing covenant shall be binding on Landlord’s successors and assigns and is in lieu of any other covenant express or implied.

21. LETTER OF CREDIT

21.1 Delivery of Letter of Credit .  Unless Tenant elects to deliver an amendment to the Existing Letter of Credit (as hereinafter defined) satisfying the requirements set forth in this Section 21.1 below, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord concurrent with Tenant's execution of this Lease, as protection for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer (or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it may suffer) as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease, an unconditional, clean, irrevocable negotiable standby letter of credit (the " L-C ") in the amount set forth in Section 8 of the Summary (the " L-C Amount "), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I , payable in the City of San Diego, California, running in favor of Landlord, drawn on a bank (the " Bank ") reasonably approved by Landlord and which Bank must have a rating from Standard and Poor's Corporation of A- or better (or any equivalent rating thereto from any successor or substitute rating service selected by Lessor) and a letter of credit issuer rating from Moody’s Investor Service of A3 or better (or any equivalent rating thereto from any successor rating agency thereto) (the " Credit Rating Threshold "), and otherwise conforming in all respects to the requirements of this Article 21 , including, without limitation, all of the requirements of Section 21.2 below, all as set forth more particularly hereinbelow.  Tenant shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining and maintaining the L/C.  In the event of an assignment by Tenant of its interest in the Lease (and irrespective of whether Landlord's consent is required for such assignment), the acceptance of any replacement or substitute letter of credit by Landlord from the assignee shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, and the reasonable attorney's fees incurred by Landlord in connection with such determination shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days of billing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that Landlord is currently the beneficiary of a letter of credit securing the Tenant’s payment and performance of its obligations under

 

 

 

 


 

the Initial Lease in the amount of $3,100,000.00 (the " Existing Letter of Credit ") , and subject to Tenant’s delivery of an amendment to such Existing Letter of Credit no later than September 15, 2017, in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, which (a) reduces the amount available for payment to Landlord pursuant to the Existing Letter Credit to the L-C Amount, and (b) expressly states that funds in the L-C Amount are available for Landlord draws under the Existing Letter of Credit upon the terms and conditions of Landlord’s draw rights set forth in this Lease (the " Existing L-C Amendment "), so long as such Existing Letter of Credit otherwise remains unmodified and in full force and effect, the Existing Letter of Credit as amended by the Existing L-C Amendment shall be deemed to be an L-C in satisfaction of the applicable requirements of this Article 21 .  In the event that Tenant elects to deliver an L-C to Landlord in accordance with this Article 21 , in lieu of the Existing L-C Amendment as permitted under the preceding sentence, then promptly following Landlord's receipt of such L-C, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant the original draft of the Existing Letter of Credit, along with any and all proceeds thereof that have not been applied to costs payable therefrom in accordance with the Initial Lease.

21.2 In General .  The L-C shall permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings, provide that draws will be honored on receipt by Bank of the original or a certified copy of the L-C accompanied by a written statement signed by Landlord or its authorized agent certifying that Landlord is entitled to draw on the L-C pursuant to the terms of this Lease in the amount being requested, and be otherwise subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (1993-Rev), International Chamber of Commerce Publication #500, or the International Standby Practices-ISP 98, International Chamber of Commerce Publication #590.  Tenant further covenants and warrants as follows:

21.2.1 Landlord Right to Transfer .  The L-C shall provide that Landlord, its successors and assigns, may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant's consent thereto, transfer (one or more times) all or any portion of its interest in and to the L-C to another party, person or entity, in connection with any assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease or to Landlord's lender.  In the event of a transfer of Landlord's interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the L-C, in whole or in part, to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability arising thereunder after the date of the transfer, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of said L-C to a new landlord.  In connection with any such transfer of the L-C by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such transfer, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying the Bank's transfer and processing fees in connection therewith.

21.2.2 No Assignment by Tenant .  Tenant shall neither assign nor encumber the L-C or any part thereof.  Neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance by Tenant in violation of this Section.

21.2.3 Replenishment .  If, as a result of any drawing by Landlord on the L-C pursuant to its rights set forth in Section 21.3 below, the amount of the L-C shall be less than the L-C Amount, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days thereafter, provide Landlord with (i) an amendment to the L-C restoring such L-C to the L-C Amount or (ii) additional L-Cs in an amount equal to the deficiency, which additional L-Cs shall comply with all of the provisions of this Article 21 , and if Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 19.1 above, the same shall constitute an incurable default by Tenant under this Lease (without the need for any additional notice and/or cure period).

21.2.4 Renewal; Replacement .  If the L-C expires earlier than the date (the " LC Expiration Date ") that is ninety-five (95) days after the expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant shall deliver a new L-C or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the L-C then held by Landlord, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord, which new L-C shall be irrevocable and automatically renewable through the LC Expiration Date upon the same terms as the expiring L-C or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its reasonable discretion.  In furtherance of the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that the L-C shall contain a so-called "evergreen provision," whereby the L-C will automatically be renewed unless at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of non-renewal is provided by the issuer to Landlord; provided, however, that the final expiration date identified in the L-C, beyond which the L-C shall not automatically renew, shall not be earlier than the LC Expiration Date.

21.2.5 Bank’s Financial Condition .  If, at any time during the Lease Term, the Bank’s long term credit rating is reduced below the Credit Rating Threshold (either, a " Bank Credit Threat "), then Landlord

 

 

 

 


 

shall have the right to require that Tenant obtain from a different issuer a substitute L-C that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Article 21 , and Tenant’s failure to obtain such substitute L-C within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s written demand therefor (with no other notice or cure or grace period being applicable thereto, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary) shall entitle Landlord, or Landlord’s then managing agent, to immediately draw upon the then existing L-C in whole or in part, without notice to Tenant, as more specifically described in Section 21.3 below.  Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of any and all costs incurred with the review of any replacement L-C (including without limitation Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees), which replacement is required pursuant to this Section 21.2.5 or is otherwise requested by Tenant.

21.3 Application of Letter of Credit .   Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance upon the ability of Landlord to draw upon the L-C as protection for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer (or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it may suffer) as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease.  To the extent of such actual and/or reasonably estimated losses and damages, Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down the L-C during any period in which any one of the following is applicable:  (A) such amount is past due to Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease, beyond the "L-C Cure Period" (as defined below), or (B) Tenant 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 Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, or (D) the Bank has notified Landlord that the L-C will not be renewed or extended through the LC Expiration Date, or (E) a Bank Credit Threat or Receivership (as such term is defined in Section 21.6.1 below) has occurred and Tenant has failed to comply with the requirements of either Section 21.2.5 above or 21.6 below, as applicable.  If Tenant shall breach any provision of this Lease or otherwise be in default hereunder, or if any of the foregoing events identified in Sections 21.3(B) through (E) shall have occurred, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant, draw upon the L-C, in part or in whole, and the proceeds may be applied by Landlord (i) to cure any breach or default of Tenant and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain resulting from Tenant's breach or default, (ii) against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due and/or (iii) to pay for all losses and damages that Landlord has suffered or that Landlord reasonably estimates that it will suffer as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease.  The use, application or retention of the L-C, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by any applicable law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the L-C, and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled.  Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the L-C, either prior to or following a "draw" by Landlord of any portion of the L-C, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord's right to draw upon the L-C.  No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the L-C conditional to justify the issuer of the L-C in failing to honor a drawing upon such L-C in a timely manner.  Tenant agrees and acknowledges that (i) the L-C constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and the Bank, (ii) subject to Sections 21.5 and 21.6 , Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the L-C or the proceeds thereof, and (iii) in the event Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant's bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord's claim and/or rights to the L-C and/or the proceeds thereof by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.  “ L-C Cure Period ” shall mean any applicable notice and cure period expressly set forth in this Lease except that there shall be no L-C Cure Period if Landlord is not permitted for any legal reason from providing written notice of a default .

21.4 Letter of Credit not a Security Deposit .  Subject to Sections 21.5 and 21.6 , Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the L-C or any renewal thereof or any proceeds thereof be (i) deemed to be or treated as a "security deposit" within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, (ii) subject to the terms of such Section 1950.7, or (iii) intended to serve as a "security deposit" within the meaning of such Section 1950.7.  Subject to Sections 21.5 and 21.6 , the parties hereto (A) recite that the L-C is not intended to serve as a security deposit and such Section 1950.7 and any and all other laws, rules and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context (" Security Deposit Laws ") shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto and (B) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws.

21.5 Proceeds of Draw .  In the event Landlord draws more funds on the Letter of Credit than can be properly applied to obligations then due or payable to Landlord hereunder, the excess of the L-C shall be held by

 

 

 

 


 

Landlord as security for Tenant’s obligations to Landlord under this Lease until the Lease is terminated and all obligations under the Lease are satisfied and applied by Landlord against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due and/or to pay for all losses and damages that Landlord has suffered or that Landlord reasonably estimates that it will suffer as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease.  Any unused proceeds need not be segregated from Landlord's other assets.  Landlord agrees that the amount of any proceeds of the L-C received by Landlord, and not (a) applied against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that was not paid when due or (b) used to pay for any losses and/or damages suffered by Landlord (or reasonably estimated by Landlord that it will suffer) as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease (the " Unused L-C Proceeds "), shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant (x) upon receipt by Landlord of a replacement L-C in the full L-C Amount, which replacement L-C shall comply in all respects with the requirements of this Article 21 , or (y) within thirty (30) days after the LC Expiration Date; provided, however, that if prior to the LC Expiration Date a voluntary petition is filed by Tenant, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant by any of Tenant's creditors, under the Bankruptcy Code, then Landlord shall not be obligated to make such payment in the amount of the Unused L-C Proceeds until either all preference issues relating to payments under this Lease have been resolved in such bankruptcy or reorganization case or such bankruptcy or reorganization case has been dismissed.

21.6 Bank Placed Into Receivership .

21.6.1 Bank Placed Into Receivership .  In the event the Bank is placed into receivership or conservatorship (any such event, a " Receivership ") by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any successor or similar entity (the " FDIC "), then, effective as of the date such Receivership occurs, the L-C shall be deemed to not meet the requirements of this Article 21 , and, within thirty (30) days following Landlord's notice to Tenant of such Receivership (the " LC Replacement Notice "), Tenant shall (i) replace the L-C with a substitute L-C from a different issuer reasonably acceptable to Landlord and that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Article 21 or (ii), in the event Tenant demonstrates to Landlord that Tenant is reasonably unable to obtain a substitute L-C from a different issuer reasonably acceptable to Landlord and that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Article 21 within the foregoing thirty (30) day period, deposit with Landlord cash in the L-C Amount (the " Interim Cash Deposit "); provided, however, that, in the case of the foregoing sub-clause (ii), Tenant shall have a continuing right (but not any obligation) to replace any portion of the Interim Cash Deposit with a substitute L-C from a different issuer reasonably acceptable to Landlord and that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Article 21 , and upon Landlord’s receipt and acceptance of such replacement L-C, Landlord shall return to Tenant the applicable portion of the Interim Cash Deposit, with no obligation on the part of Landlord to pay any interest thereon.  If Tenant fails to comply in any respect with the requirements of this Section 21.6.1 , then, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to (a) declare Tenant in default of this Lease for which there shall be no notice or grace or cure periods being applicable thereto other than the aforesaid thirty (30) day period, (b) if applicable, retain such Interim Cash Deposit until such time as such default is cured by Tenant, which retention shall not constitute a waiver of any right or remedy available to Landlord under the terms of this Lease or at law, and (c) pursue any and all remedies available to it under this Lease and at law, including, without limitation, if Tenant has failed to provide the Interim Cash Deposit, treating any Receivership as a Bank Credit Threat and exercising Landlord’s remedies under Section 21.2.5 above, to the extent possible pursuant to the existing FDIC policy.  Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of any and all costs incurred with the review of any replacement L-C (including without limitation Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees), which replacement is required pursuant to this Section or is otherwise requested by Tenant.

21.6.2 Interim Cash Deposit .  During any period that Landlord remains in possession of the Interim Cash Deposit (any such period, a " Deposit Period "), it is understood by the parties that such Interim Cash Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the full and faithful performance of Tenant’s covenants and obligations under this Lease.  The Interim Cash Deposit shall not constitute an advance of any Rent, an advance payment of any other kind, nor a measure of Landlord’s damages in case of Tenant’s default.  If, during any such Deposit Period, Tenant defaults beyond applicable notice and cure periods with respect to any provisions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, the removal of property and the repair of resultant damage, then Landlord may but shall not be required to, from time to time, without notice to Tenant and without waiving any other remedy available to Landlord, use the Interim Cash Deposit, or any portion of it, to the extent necessary to cure or remedy such default or failure or to compensate Landlord for all damages sustained by Landlord or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain resulting from Tenant’s default or failure to comply fully and timely with its obligations pursuant to this Lease.  Tenant shall within thirty (30) days of receipt of Landlord’s written demand pay any amount so applied in order to restore the Interim Cash Deposit to its

 

 

 

 


 

original amount, and Tenant’s failure to immediately do so shall constitute a default under this Lease.  In the event Landlord is in possession of the Interim Cash Deposit at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and Tenant is in compliance with the covenants and obligations set forth in this Lease at the time of such expiration or termination, then Landlord shall return to Tenant the Interim Cash Deposit, less any amounts deducted by Landlord to reimburse Landlord for any sums to which Landlord is entitled under the terms of this Lease, within sixty (60) days following both such expiration or termination and Tenant’s vacation and surrender of the Premises.  Landlord’s obligations with respect to the Interim Cash Deposit are those of a debtor and not a trustee.  Landlord shall not be required to maintain the Interim Cash Deposit separate and apart from Landlord’s general or other funds, and Landlord may commingle the Interim Cash Deposit with any of Landlord’s general or other funds.  Tenant shall not at any time be entitled to interest on the Interim Cash Deposit.  In the event of a transfer of Landlord's interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the Interim Cash Deposit, in whole or in part, to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor accruing after the date of such transfer with respect to the portion of the Interim Cash Deposit so transferred, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of said Interim Cash Deposit to a new landlord.  Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, or any successor statute.

22. ROOFTOP RIGHTS .  With respect to each Building occupied by Tenant, Tenant may, in accordance with, and subject to (A) reasonable construction rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord and provided to Tenant, (B) the Building standards therefor which have been provided to Tenant, and (C) the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease (including, without limitation, Article 8 and this Article 22 ), Tenant may install, repair, maintain and use, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, without the payment of Rent (other than costs allowed to be included in Direct Expenses pursuant to Article 4 of this Lease), one (1) or more antenna or other telecommunications equipment and HVAC equipment on the roof of each Building for the receiving and transmitting of signals or broadcasts servicing the business conducted by Tenant from within the Premises or providing conditioned air to the Premises (the " Rooftop Equipment ").  Tenant shall be solely responsible for any and all costs incurred or arising in connection with the Rooftop Equipment, including but not limited to costs of electricity and insurance related to the Rooftop Equipment, and Tenant shall ensure that such Rooftop Equipment shall not interfere with the operation of (or preclude the installation of) other equipment on the roof of a Building.  Landlord makes no representations or warranties whatsoever with respect to the fitness or suitability of the roof of the Building for the installation, maintenance and operation of the Rooftop Equipment, including, without limitation, with respect to the quality and clarity of any receptions and transmissions to or from the Rooftop Equipment and the presence of any interference with such signals whether emanating from the Building or otherwise.  The physical appearance, size and location of the Rooftop Equipment shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and Landlord may require Tenant to install screening around such Rooftop Equipment, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, if Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment would otherwise be visible from outside the Project.  Tenant shall service, maintain and repair such Rooftop Equipment, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.  In the event Tenant elects to exercise its right to install the Rooftop Equipment, then Tenant shall give Landlord no less than thirty (30) days' prior notice thereof.  Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord the actual costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in approving such Rooftop Equipment, including any third-party consultant fees.  Tenant's rights under this Article 22 shall terminate and shall be of no further force or effect upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease with respect to each Building.  Prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove and restore the affected portion of the rooftop, the Building and the Premises to the condition the rooftop, the Building and the Premises would have been in had no such Rooftop Equipment been installed (reasonable wear and tear and damage from casualty that is Landlord's obligation to repair pursuant to Article 11 excepted).  Such Rooftop Equipment shall be installed pursuant to plans and specifications approved by Landlord (specifically including, without limitation, all mounting and waterproofing details), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Notwithstanding any such review or approval by Landlord, Tenant shall remain solely liable for any damage arising in connection with Tenant’s installation, use, maintenance and/or repair of such Rooftop Equipment, including, without limitation, any damage to any portion of the roof or roof membrane and any penetrations to the roof.  Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that Landlord shall have no liability in connection with Tenant's use, maintenance and/or repair of such Rooftop Equipment.  The Rooftop Equipment shall, in all instances, comply with all Applicable Laws.  Subject to Tenant’s rights under Section 29.34 , Tenant shall not be entitled to license its Rooftop Equipment to any third party other than a Permitted Transferee, nor shall Tenant be permitted to receive any revenues, fees or any other consideration for the use of the Rooftop Area and/or such Rooftop Equipment by any third party, in excess of the sublease rents otherwise payable

 

 

 

 


 

in accordance with any subletting of all or a portion of the Premises.  Tenant’s right to install such Rooftop Equipment shall be non-exclusive with Landlord, and Tenant hereby expressly acknowledges Landlord’s continued right, at Landlord's sole cost and expense (and not as an Operating Expense) (i) to itself utilize any portion of the rooftop of a Building, and (ii) to re-sell, license or lease any rooftop space to an unaffiliated third party; provided that from and after the Lease Commencement Date, Landlord shall not permit any lessee, licensee or other permitted user of rooftop space to interfere with Tenant’s business operations at the Project, Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment, or any of the Tenant’s rights under this Lease in connection with any such activities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall cause all rooftop equipment of other tenants of the Project to be promptly removed upon the expiration or earlier termination of such tenants’ leases, and (b) any existing Rooftop Equipment of Tenant affixed to the Project as of the Lease Commencement Date shall not require Landlord’s approval hereunder.

23. SIGNS .

23.1 Exterior Signage .  Subject to Landlord's prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and provided all signs are in keeping with the quality, design and style of First Class Life Sciences Projects, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may install (i) identification signage on all monument signs located at the Project to the extent of Tenant’s Share of the Project, and (ii) signage on the exterior of all Project Buildings occupied by Tenant, including Building-top signage (collectively, " Tenant’s Signage "); provided, however, in no event shall Tenant's Signage include an "Objectionable Name," as that term is defined in Section 23.3 of this Lease.  All such signage shall be subject to Tenant's obtaining all required governmental approvals and any required approvals under the CC&Rs.  All permitted signs shall be maintained by Tenant at its expense in a first-class and safe condition and appearance.  Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all of its signs at Tenant's sole cost and expense.  The graphics, materials, color, design, lettering, lighting, size, illumination, specifications and exact location of Tenant's Signage (collectively, the " Sign Specifications ") shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall be consistent and compatible with the quality and nature of First Class Life Sciences Projects.  Tenant hereby acknowledges that, notwithstanding Landlord's approval of Tenant's Signage, Landlord has made no representation or warranty to Tenant with respect to the probability of obtaining all necessary governmental approvals and permits for Tenant's Signage.  In the event Tenant does not receive the necessary governmental approvals and permits for Tenant's Signage, Tenant's and Landlord's rights and obligations under the remaining TCCs of this Lease shall be unaffected.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Landlord agrees that any signage of Tenant already located at the Project as of the Lease Commencement Date shall not require Landlord’s approval hereunder, and (b) whenever Tenant (including any Permitted Transferees and any subtenants under Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee) is the sole tenant of the Project, the rights of Tenant and such transferees to install signage at the Project shall be exclusive, and (c) whenever Tenant (including any Permitted Transferees and any subtenants under Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee) is the sole tenant of any Building, the rights of Tenant and such transferees to install signage on such Building (including any monument exclusively serving such Building) shall be exclusive.  Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall cause all signage of other tenants of the Lusk 2 Building to be promptly removed at Landlord's sole cost and expense, and not as SMB Costs or costs of Tenant Improvements to Must-Take Space 1 or Must-Take Space 3, upon the expiration or earlier termination of such tenants’ leases.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all of Tenant's existing signage at the Project as of the Lease Commencement Date is hereby deemed to be approved by Landlord, and Tenant shall be permitted to replace such signage with similar signage from time to time due to casualty or ordinary wear and tear without Landlord's prior written approval.

23.2 Interior Signage .  With respect to any signage to be located within the Premises, (i) Tenant shall not be required to notify Landlord prior to installing any such signage, and (ii) no approval of Landlord shall be required in connection with any such signage; provided that if any such signage is visible from areas outside of the Premises, Tenant shall be required to obtain Landlord’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

23.3 Objectionable Name .  Tenant's Signage shall not include a name or logo which relates to an entity which is of a character or reputation, or is associated with a political faction or orientation, which is inconsistent with the quality of First Class Life Sciences Projects, or which would otherwise be offensive to a landlord of the Comparable Buildings in its commercially-reasonable discretion (an " Objectionable Name ").  The

 

 

 

 


 

parties hereby agree that the following name, or any reasonable derivation thereof, shall be deemed not to constitute an Objectionable Name:  "NuVasive, Inc."

23.4 Prohibited Signage and Other Items .  Any signs, notices, logos, pictures, names or advertisements which are installed and that have not been separately approved by Landlord (to the extent that such approval is required under this Article 23 ) may be removed without notice by Landlord at the sole expense of Tenant; provided that any signs of Tenant already affixed to the Project as of the date of this Lease shall not require Landlord’s approval.  Any signs, window coverings, or blinds (even if the same are located behind the Landlord-approved window coverings for the Building) visible from the exterior of the Premises, shall be subject to the prior approval of Landlord, in its reasonable discretion.

23.5 Multi-Tenant Buildings . If other tenants occupy space on any of the Buildings in which a portion of the Premises is located, Tenant's identifying suite entry signage shall be provided by Landlord, at Tenant's cost, and such signage shall be comparable to that used by Landlord in the Building and shall comply with Landlord's then-current Building standard signage program.

23.6 Termination of Right to Tenant's Signage .  The rights relating to Tenant’s Signage contained in Section 23.1 shall be personal to Original Tenant and its Permitted Transferees, and Tenant's exclusive signage rights for each Building of the Project may be maintained by such parties (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant's interest in this Lease) to the extent ( x ) they are not in default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure period) and (y) if they lease at least seventy-five percent (75%) of such Building and occupy at least 50% of the occupied rentable square footage of such Building; provided, however, that as long as the Original Tenant or any of its Permitted Transferees occupies at least of sixty-five percent (65%) of the occupied space in the Project and is maintaining its headquarters operations at the Project, Original Tenant and such Permitted Transferees shall retain exclusive signage rights on all of the Buildings of the Project.

24. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW .  Tenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises or the Project which will in any way conflict with any judicial decisions and any statute, constitution, ordinance, resolution, regulation, rule, administrative order, codes, or other requirements of any municipal, county, state, federal, or other governmental agency or authority having jurisdiction over the parties to this Lease, the Premises, the Buildings or the Project, in effect either as of the Lease Commencement Date or at any time during the Lease Term, including, without limitation, any regulation, order, or policy of any quasi-official entity or body (e.g., a board of fire examiners or a public utility or special district); and any Underlying Documents.  At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with all such governmental measures (collectively, " Applicable Laws ").  Should any standard or regulation now or hereafter be imposed on Tenant by a state, federal or local governmental body charged with the establishment, regulation and enforcement of occupational, health or safety standards for employers, employees, landlords or tenants, then Tenant agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to comply promptly with such standards or regulations.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease (including, without limitation, Landlord’s obligations under the Tenant Work Letter, and Landlord’s obligation to deliver the Project in the condition required by this Lease), to the extent triggered by Alterations or uses of Tenant that are inconsistent with the Permitted Use and inconsistent with First Class Life Sciences Projects, or are otherwise required due to a specific Alteration constructed (or to be constructed) by Tenant or by Tenant's specific use of the Premises (whether or not consistent with First Class Life Sciences Projects), Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, to make all alterations to the Building and Premises as are required to comply with the governmental rules, regulations, requirements or standards described in this Article 24 .  The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any judicial action, regardless of whether Landlord is a party thereto, that Tenant has violated any of said governmental measures, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.  For purposes of Section 1938 of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that the Project, Building and Premises have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp).  As required by Section 1938(e) of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby states as follows:  "A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law.  Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant.  The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and

 

 

 

 


 

the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises."  In furtherance of the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:  (a) any CASp inspection requested by Tenant shall be conducted, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, by a CASp approved in advance by Landlord; and (b) pursuant to Article 24 below, Tenant, at its cost, is responsible for making any repairs within the Premises to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards; and, if anything done by or for Tenant in its use or occupancy of the Premises shall require repairs to the Building (outside the Premises) to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards, then Tenant shall, at Landlord's option, either perform such repairs at Tenant's sole cost and expense or reimburse Landlord upon demand, as Additional Rent, for the cost to Landlord of performing such repairs.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required in order for Tenant to receive a certificate of occupancy or its legal equivalent, Landlord shall be responsible for correcting all violations of accessibility standards existing in the Must-Take Space 1, Must-Take Space 2 and Must-Take Space 3 prior to their incorporation into the Premises in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease.

25. CHARGES .  If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within five (5) business days after Tenant's receipt of written notice from Landlord that said amount is due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to three percent (3%) of the overdue amount.  The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of Landlord's other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord's remedies in any manner.  In addition to the late charge described above, any Rent or other amounts owing hereunder which are not paid within ten (10) days after the date they are due shall bear interest from the date when due until paid at a rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12%) (the "Default Rate").  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no obligation to pay any late charge or interest in connection with Tenant’s first (1 st ) late payment in any twelve (12) month period.

26. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULT; PAYMENTS BY TENANT

26.1 Landlord's Cure .  All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any reduction of Rent, except to the extent, if any, otherwise expressly provided herein.  If Tenant shall fail to perform any obligation under this Lease, and such failure shall continue in excess of the time allowed under Section 19.1.2 , above, unless a specific time period is otherwise stated in this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant's part without waiving its rights based upon any default of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligations hereunder.

27. ENTRY BY LANDLORD .  Landlord reserves the right, at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to Tenant at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to entry (except in the case of an emergency) and subject to Tenant’s reasonable safety and security requirements (except in the case of an emergency), to enter the Premises to (i) inspect them; (ii) show the Premises to prospective purchasers (after complying with Landlord’s obligations relating to Tenant’s Purchase ROFO as set forth in Section 1.6 ), or to current or prospective mortgagees, ground or underlying lessors or insurers or, during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, to prospective tenants; (iii) post notices of nonresponsibility (to the extent applicable pursuant to then applicable law); or (iv) satisfy Landlord’s maintenance and repair obligations under this Lease.  Landlord may make any such entries without the abatement of Rent, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, and may take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes.  In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises.  Any entry into the Premises by Landlord in the manner hereinbefore described shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises.

 

 

 

 


 

28. TENANT PARKING .  Tenant shall have the right to use, at no additional charge (except to the extent of Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses with respect to the parking facilities) the amount of parking spaces set forth in Section 9 of the Summary, in the on-site parking facility (or facilities) which serve the Project.  Landlord shall require that its contractors and consultants engaged in the construction of the Landlord's Lusk 3 Work limit the parking of their vehicles to the Construction Area, and shall act reasonably to prohibit their use of any other parking facilities of the Project.  Notwithstanding the amounts set forth in Section 9 of the Summary, at any time when Tenant is the sole tenant at the Project, Tenant shall be entitled to use all spaces available for parking use at the Project.  After the Must-Take 2 Delivery Date, Landlord shall have no right to relocate any of Tenant’s parking spaces or reduce the number of spaces available for use at the Project, except during periods of maintenance and repairs.  Tenant shall abide by all reasonable rules and regulations which are prescribed from time to time for the orderly operation and use of the parking facility where the parking passes are located (including any sticker or other identification system established by Landlord and the prohibition of vehicle repair and maintenance activities in the parking facilities), and shall cooperate in seeing that Tenant's employees and visitors also comply with such rules and regulations.  Tenant's use of the Project parking facility shall be at Tenant's sole risk and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever for damage to the vehicles of Tenant, its employees and/or visitors, or for other personal injury or property damage or theft relating to or connected with the parking rights granted herein or any of Tenant's, its employees' and/or visitors' use of the parking facilities.  Prior to the Must-Take 2 Delivery Date, Tenant may designate reserved parking spaces at locations within the parking area mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant for up to 10% of Tenant's parking spaces (in which case Landlord shall cause the spaces to be labeled as reserved, at Tenant's sole cost); provided that Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of the reserved parking spaces so designated by Tenant, and such reserved parking spaces may be relocated by Tenant (at Tenant's cost) within the parking areas of the Project, subject to Landlord prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Beginning on the Must-Take 2 Delivery Date and with respect to any period thereafter during which Tenant is the sole tenant at the Project, Tenant may designate and label any number of parking spaces as reserved parking spaces in locations of Tenant’s choosing, in Tenant’s sole and absolute discretion, and no approval of Landlord shall be required in connection with any such designation.

In the event that Tenant reasonably determines that the existing generator capacity is insufficient, Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant's reasonable efforts to establish a back-up power solution reasonably acceptable to Tenant.

3.2.3.3 Final Retention .  Subject to the provisions of this Tenant Work Letter, a check for the Final Retention for each Project shall be delivered by Landlord to Tenant no later than thirty (30) days following the later of (a) substantial completion of the Existing Premises Work (as substantial completion is determined in accordance with the Construction Agreement) of such Project and (b) Landlord's receipt of (i) properly executed mechanics lien releases in compliance with both California Civil Code Section 8134 and either Section 8136 or Section 8138 from Tenant's contractor, subcontractors and material suppliers and any other party which has lien rights in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and (ii) a certificate of completion of the Existing Premises Work of such Project from the applicable Architect, certifying that the Existing Premises Work of such Project has been substantially completed in accordance with the applicable Approved Working Drawings.   In addition to the foregoing, Landlord may condition such payment upon the correction of any patent defects disclosed during Landlord's walk-through inspection of the applicable Existing Premises Work, provided that such walk-through inspection shall be performed, if at all, within ten (10) business days following Landlord's receipt of the final Application for Payment for such Project of the Existing Premises Work.

3.3 Failure to Disburse Tenant Improvement Allowance .  If Landlord fails to timely fulfill its obligation to fund any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall be entitled to deliver notice (the " Payment Notice ") thereof to Landlord and to any Superior Holders of the Project whose identity and address have been previously provided to Tenant.  If Landlord still fails to fulfill any such obligation within twenty (20) business days after Landlord's receipt of the Payment Notice from Tenant and if Landlord fails to deliver notice to Tenant within such twenty (20) business day period explaining Landlord's reasons that Landlord believes that the amounts described in Tenant's Payment Notice are not due and payable by Landlord (" Refusal Notice "), Tenant shall be entitled, after Landlord's failure to pay such amounts within five (5) business days after Tenant's delivery of a second notice from Tenant delivered after the expiration of such (20) business day period, which second notice must contain the following inscription, in bold faced lettering: “ SECOND NOTICE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.3 OF EXHIBIT B-1 TO THE LEASE - - FAILURE TO TIMELY PAY THE REQUESTED ALLOWANCE MAY RESULT IN TENANT'S PAYMENT OF THE SAME AND A DEDUCTION FROM RENT UNDER THE LEASE ,” to pay the same and offset the amount so owed to Tenant by Landlord but not paid by Landlord (or if Landlord delivers a Refusal Notice but only with respect to a portion of the amount set forth in the Payment Notice and Landlord fails to pay such undisputed amount as required by the next succeeding sentence, the undisputed amount so owed to Tenant) from the last day of such twenty (20) business day period until the date of offset, against Tenant's next obligations to pay Rent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby agrees that if Landlord delivers a Refusal Notice disputing a portion of the amount set forth in Tenant's Payment Notice, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, concurrently with the delivery of the Refusal Notice, the undisputed portion of the amount set forth in the Payment Notice.  However, if Tenant is in Default under Section 19.1.1 of the Lease at the time that such offset would otherwise be applicable, Tenant shall not be entitled to such offset until such Default is cured.  If Landlord delivers a Refusal Notice, and if Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree on the disputed amounts to be so paid by Landlord, if any, within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of a Refusal Notice, Tenant may submit such

dispute to a referee under the provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Sections 638 — 645.1, inclusive, in accordance with Section 29.22 of the Lease.  If Tenant prevails in any such arbitration, Tenant shall be entitled to apply such award as a credit against Tenant's obligations to pay Rent.

DESIGN AND PERMITTING

4.1 Selection of Architect/Construction Drawings .  For each work of Tenant Improvements to the Premises to be performed by Tenant as Existing Premises Work pursuant to this Tenant Work Letter (each, a " Project "), Tenant shall retain an architect/space planner selected by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord (the " Architect " of the applicable Project) to prepare the Construction Drawings for such Project in accordance with this Section 4.1 .  In addition to the Architect, Tenant shall retain those engineering consultants selected by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord (the " Engineers " of the applicable Project) for any and all plans and engineering working drawings relating to any structural alterations or improvements or alterations to the Building Systems of the Existing Buildings as part of the Existing Premises Work of any Project.  The plans and drawings to be prepared by the Architect and any Engineers for a Project hereunder shall be known collectively as the " Construction Drawings ."  All Construction Drawings shall comply with the drawing format and specifications reasonably determined by Landlord, and shall be subject to Landlord's approval, to the extent of Landlord’s approval rights under this Article 4 , provided that Landlord's review and approval of any Construction Drawings pursuant to this Section 4 shall be solely for Landlord's own benefit and shall not obligate Landlord to review the same, nor make the Landlord liable to Tenant or any of the Tenant's Agents for the quality, design, Code compliance or other like matters included in any Construction Drawings approved by Landlord.  

4.2 Final Space Plan .  Tenant shall supply Landlord with copies of its final space plan for each Project (the " Final Space Plan " of such Project), which shall include a layout and designation of all offices, rooms and other partitioning included in the applicable Project Site and their intended use.  To the extent reasonable, Landlord may request clarification or more specific drawings for special use items not included in the Final Space Plan.  Within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s receipt of a Final Space Plan, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing whether (i) Landlord approves of such Final Space Plan or whether (ii) Landlord disapproves such Final Space Plan, which disapproval shall specify the reasonable basis for such disapproval and shall be accompanied by a written reasonably detailed description of changes required in order to satisfy Landlord’s concerns.  Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, Landlord may not disapprove of any Final Space Plan proposed by Tenant unless the proposed improvements would (a) have an adverse effect on Building Systems or Building Structure (as reasonably determined by Landlord), (b) materially increase the cost of occupancy, use, maintenance or repair of the Building or the Project, or (c) cause noncompliance with Code.  If Landlord’s written approval, or disapproval satisfying the requirements of the preceding sentence, is not received by Tenant within ten (10) business days following Landlord's receipt of the proposed Final Space Plan from Tenant, then the terms of Section 4.6 , below, shall be applicable.  If Landlord timely and reasonably disapproves of the Final Space Plan, Tenant shall cause the Final Space Plan to be revised as reasonably required to address Landlord’s concerns, and shall submit the revised Final Space Plan to Landlord for review, with the foregoing review process to be repeated until Landlord has approved (or is deemed to have approved per the below) the Final Space Plan for such Project.  

4.3 Final Working Drawings .  After the Final Space Plan for a Project has been approved by Landlord, Tenant shall cause the Architect to complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Project in a form which is complete to allow the approved general contractors (as set forth in Section 5.1 of this Tenant Work Letter) and qualified subcontractors of the Major Trade Components (as defined in Section 5.1.2 of this Tenant Work Letter) to bid on the work of such Project and to obtain all applicable permits (collectively, the " Final Working Drawings ").  Upon the Architect's completion of the Final Working Drawings for a Project, Tenant shall submit the same to Landlord for Landlord's approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s receipt of such Final Working Drawings, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing whether (a) Landlord approves of such Final Working Drawings or whether (b) Landlord disapproves such Final Working Drawings, which disapproval shall specify the reasonable basis for such disapproval and shall be accompanied by a written detailed description of changes required in order to satisfy Landlord’s concerns.  If Landlord timely and reasonably disapproves the Final Working Drawings in accordance with this Section 4.3 , Tenant shall cause the Final Working Drawings to be revised by the Architect as reasonably

.

 


 

required to address the Landlord’s objections, and shall submit the revised Final Working Drawings to Landlord for review, with the foregoing review process to be repeated until Landlord has approved (or is deemed to have approved as provided below) the Final Working Drawings.  If Landlord fails to timely approve or reasonably disapprove the Final Working Drawings within ten (10) business day following their submission by Tenant for Landlord's approval, the terms of Section 4.6, below, shall be applicable.

4.4 Approved Working Drawings .  The Final Working Drawings for each Project, as approved or deemed approved by Landlord in accordance with Section 4.3 above, shall be known as the " Approved Working Drawings ” of such Project of Existing Premises Work.  Such Approved Working Drawings shall be submitted by Tenant to the appropriate municipal authorities for the applicable building permits (the " Permits ") for the Tenant Improvements of such Project, and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in executing permit applications and performing other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to obtain such Permits or any certificate of occupancy (or its legal equivalent) required for Tenant's occupancy of the Project Site following substantial completion of any Project.  Following Landlord’s approval, or deemed approval, of the Approved Working Drawings, the Approved Working Drawings shall not be modified for any reason other than a Minor Variation (as hereinafter defined) without Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.  No material changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Working Drawings of any Project may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  " Minor Variation " shall mean any modification to make reasonable adjustments for field deviations or conditions encountered during construction.

4.5 Changes to Approved Working Drawings .  Without limiting Tenant’s right to make Minor Variations to the Approved Working Drawings without Landlord’s approval, Tenant shall also have the right to modify the Approved Working Drawings with Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall be granted unless the requested modification would (a) have an adverse effect on Building Systems or Building Structure, (b) (b) materially increase the cost of occupancy, use, maintenance or repair of the Building or the Project,  or (b) cause noncompliance with applicable Code.  Tenant shall request such modifications to the Approved Working Drawings for a Project by notifying Landlord in writing, in substantially the same form as the AIA standard change order form (a “ Tenant Change Order Request ”), which Tenant Change Order Request shall detail the nature and extent of any such modification and shall be signed by Tenant's Representative and the Contractor of the applicable Project.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to approve or reasonably disapprove such Tenant Change Order Request no later than five (5) business days after Landlord's receipt thereof, with any such disapproval of a Tenant Change Order Request to specify the reasonable basis for such disapproval accompanied by a written detailed description of changes by Landlord.  If Landlord approves a Tenant Change Order Request, Tenant may cause the Approved Working Drawings to be modified accordingly.  If Landlord fails to respond with Landlord's approval or reasonable disapproval (in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 4.5 ) within such five (5) business day period, then the terms of Section 4.6, below, shall be applicable.  

4.6 Deemed Approval .  If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of Landlord's approval or disapproval of any Construction Drawings or Tenant Change Order Request within the applicable time period set forth herein, Tenant shall have the right to provide Landlord with a second (2nd) written request for approval (a " Second Request ") that specifically identifies the applicable Construction Drawings or Tenant Change Order Request and contains the following statement in bold and capital letters:  " THIS IS A SECOND REQUEST FOR APPROVAL PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 4.6 OF EXHIBIT B-1 TO THE LEASE.  IF LANDLORD FAILS TO RESPOND WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE, THEN LANDLORD SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE APPROVED THE CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS (OR TENANT CHANGE ORDER REQUEST, AS APPLICABLE) DESCRIBED HEREIN ."  If Landlord fails to respond to such Second Request within ten (10) business days after Landlord's receipt thereof, the proposed Construction Drawings or Tenant Change Order Request shall be deemed approved by Landlord.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

5.1 Tenant's Selection of Contractors .

5.1.1 The Contractor .  A general contractor (the " Contractor ") shall be selected by Tenant to construct the Tenant Improvements of each Project following Landlord's approval or deemed approval of the Final Working Drawings for such Project in accordance with Section 4.3 of this Tenant Work Letter, subject to Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and following Landlord's approval of the Contractor, Tenant shall enter into a Construction Agreement with such Contractor (in accordance with Section 5.2.1 of this Tenant Work Letter) to construct such Tenant Improvements.  Landlord hereby pre-approves of Tenant’s selection of any of the following general contractors as a Contractor for any Project of Tenant Improvements included in the Existing Premises Work:  (a) Swinerton; (b) Pacific Building Group; or (c) Whiting Turner; provided that such pre-approval shall not limit Landlord’s right to approve of the Construction Agreement in accordance with Section 5.2.1 of this Tenant Work Letter.  

5.1.2 Tenant's Agents .  All subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers used by Tenant (such subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers, and the Contractor to be known collectively as " Tenant's Agents ") shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (as so approved by Landlord, the “ Approved Subcontractors ”), and shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable rules and regulations for the construction of improvements in the Building, so long as Landlord has provided a copy of such rules and regulations to Tenant’s Representative; provided that Landlord shall not require that the Contractor engage any particular subcontractor for a Major Trade Component (as hereinafter defined) as an Approved Subcontractor unless such subcontractor submits a bid for the work of such Major Trade Component that is reasonably competitive with the bids submitted by other qualified subcontractors bidding for such Major Trade Component.  " Major Trade Components " shall mean any mechanical, electrical and plumbing work of a Project of Tenant Improvements.   If Tenant reasonably determines that the proposed cost of work to be performed by any subcontractor required by Landlord to be engaged as an Approved Subcontractor for any Major Trade Component of any Project is substantially in excess of competitive proposals for such work provided by qualified subcontractors other than the subcontractor required by Landlord, then Landlord and Tenant shall promptly and reasonably cooperate with one another to agree upon a list of mutually-satisfactory subcontractors willing to submit a reasonably competitive bid for the work of such Major Trade Component, from whom Tenant will select the Approved Subcontractor for the applicable Major Trade Component of such Project.  

5.2 Construction of Tenant Improvements by Tenant's Agents .

5.2.1 Construction Contract; Cost Budget .  Prior to Tenant's execution of the construction agreement and related general conditions for any Project of Tenant Improvements in the Initial Premises with the applicable Contractor (the " Construction Agreement " for such Project), Tenant shall submit the proposed Construction Agreement to Landlord for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Landlord’s failure to approve or reasonably disapprove (with reasons specified) of such proposed Construction Agreement within five (5) business days following receipt thereof from Tenant shall be deemed Landlord’s approval thereof, provided that such Construction Agreement shall include a reasonably-detailed breakdown, by trade, of the final costs to be incurred for the Tenant Improvement Allowance Items of the applicable Tenant Improvements (the " List of Final Costs ").  The work of construction of the Tenant Improvements of each Project will be performed on an open book basis, with Landlord having access to all information relating to bidding and pricing for the cost of the Tenant Improvement Allowance Items included in such Tenant Improvements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth elsewhere in this Tenant Work Letter or this Lease, Tenant will not commence construction of any Project of Tenant Improvements pursuant to this Tenant Work Letter until (a) Landlord has approved (or is deemed to have approved) the applicable Construction Agreement, (b) Landlord shall have approved in writing the construction budget for the applicable Project (the " Approved Tenant Budget " of such Project), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (c) Tenant has procured and delivered to Landlord a copy of all Permits required for the applicable Existing Premises Work, and (d) Tenant has provided Landlord with certificates of insurance from the applicable Contractor and the other Tenant's Agents performing the Existing Premises Work of such Project at the Project Site satisfying the requirements of Section 5.2.2.3 below.  The Approved Tenant Budget for each Project shall include actual pricing received by Tenant directly from the Contractor and all other Tenant’s Agents responsible for the Existing Premises

Work of such Project.  Landlord shall not be obligated to reimburse Tenant for the cost of any Tenant Improvement Allowance Items which are not included in the Approved Tenant Budget; provided that the Approved Tenant Budget shall be adjusted to reflect any change to the Approved Working Drawings pursuant to any Landlord-approved (or deemed approved) Tenant Requested Change Order.  If the Approved Tenant Budget for any Project is in excess of the remaining Tenant Improvement Allowance allocated by Tenant to all Tenant Improvement Allowance Items included in all Projects of the Existing Premises Work, as such allocation may be modified by Tenant from time to time as long as the total allocation of the Tenant Improvement Allowance to the Tenant Improvement Allowance Items of this Tenant Work Letter and under Exhibit B-2 to this Lease do not exceed, in the aggregate, the total Tenant Improvement Allowance set forth in Section 5 of the Lease Summary (such excess, the " Over-Allowance Amount " for such Project), then Tenant shall pay Tenant's TIA Share (as hereinafter defined) of the amount requested from Landlord pursuant to each Application for Payment for such Project (as reduced by the applicable retention amount), and such payment by Tenant of the Tenant's TIA Share of each Application for Payment shall be a condition of Landlord's payment of the remainder of the amount requested by Tenant in such Application for Payment.  The " Tenant's TIA Share " for a Project shall mean that percentage amount equal to such Over-Allowance Amount divided by the Approved Tenant Budget (after deducting from the Approved Tenant Budget any amounts expended in connection with the preparation of the Construction Drawings, and the cost of all other Tenant Improvement Allowance Items incurred prior to the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements) for such Project.  

5.2.2 Tenant's Agents .

5.2.2.1 General Conditions for Tenant's Agents and Tenant Improvement Work .  Tenant's and Tenant's Agent's construction of the Tenant Improvements of each Project subject to this Tenant Work Letter shall comply with the following:  (i) such Tenant Improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the applicable Approved Working Drawings (as the same may be modified in accordance with Article 4 of this Tenant Work Letter); and (ii) Landlord's reasonable rules and regulations for the construction of improvements in the Building as set forth in this Lease (if any).  

5.2.2.2 Indemnity .  The indemnity provisions of the Lease shall also apply with respect to the Tenant Improvements of each Project included in the Existing Premises Work.  

5.2.2.3 Insurance Requirements .

5.2.2.3.1 General Coverages .  All of Tenant's Agents shall carry worker's compensation insurance to the extent required by Applicable Laws, and shall also carry public liability insurance, including property damage, all with limits, in form and with companies as are required to be carried by Tenant as set forth in this Lease.

5.2.2.3.2 Special Coverages .  Tenant shall carry "Builder's All Risk" insurance for each Project in an amount reasonably approved by Landlord, covering the cost of repairs to the Existing Premises Work and the Initial Premises associated with such Project and arising out of those risks associated with the coverage of such insurance coverage.  Tenant's Agents shall carry excess liability insurance with limits, in form and with companies as are required to be carried by Tenant as set forth in this Lease.

5.2.2.3.3 General Terms .  Certificates for all insurance carried pursuant to this Section 5.2.2.3 shall be delivered to Landlord before the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements of the applicable Project and before the applicable Contractor's equipment is moved onto the Project Site.  To the extent reasonably obtainable, all such policies of insurance must contain a provision that the company writing said policy will give Landlord thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation or lapse of the effective date or any reduction in the amounts of such insurance.  In the event that the applicable Tenant Improvements are damaged by any cause other than Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct during the course of the construction thereof, Tenant shall immediately repair the same at Tenant's sole cost and expense (subject to Tenant right to increase the allocation of any remaining Tenant Improvement Allowance to the applicable Project to cover some or all of the cost of such repairs pursuant to a TIA Allocation Notice delivered to Landlord in accordance with this Tenant Work Letter).  Tenant's Agents shall maintain all of the foregoing insurance coverage in force until the Tenant Improvements of the applicable Project are fully completed.  All policies carried under this Section 5.2.2.3 shall insure Landlord and Tenant, as their interests may appear, as well as PMA, Contractor and Tenant's Agents.  All insurance, except Workers' Compensation, maintained by Contractor and Tenant's Agents shall preclude subrogation claims by the insurer against anyone insured thereunder.  Such insurance shall provide that it is

primary insurance as respects the owner and that any other insurance maintained by owner is excess and noncontributing with the insurance required hereunder.    

5.2.3 Governmental Compliance .  The Tenant Improvements shall comply with Code and other Applicable Laws.  

5.2.4 Inspection by Landlord .  Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable prior notice of any inspection to be performed by a governmental entity in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements in order to allow Landlord to be present during such inspection.  Landlord shall have the right to inspect the Tenant Improvements with Tenant at all reasonable times following reasonable advanced notice, provided however, that Landlord's failure to inspect the Tenant Improvements shall in no event constitute a waiver of any of Landlord's rights hereunder nor shall Landlord's inspection of the Tenant Improvements constitute Landlord's approval of the same.  Should Landlord and Tenant identify any defect in any portion of the Tenant Improvements in connection with any such inspection, Landlord and Tenant shall document such defect, and such defect shall be promptly rectified by Tenant at no expense to Landlord (except to the extent of any remaining Tenant Improvement Allowance).

5.2.5 Meetings .  Commencing upon Landlord's approval (or deemed approval) of the Approved Working Drawings for each Project of this Tenant Work Letter, Tenant shall hold weekly meetings (and/or other meetings as necessary) at a reasonable time, with the Architect and the Contractor of the applicable Project, regarding the progress of the applicable Tenant Improvements until such Tenant Improvements are substantially completed, which meetings shall be held at a location at the Project Site designated by Tenant in its sole discretion, and Landlord and/or its agents shall receive prior notice of, and shall have the right to attend, all such meetings, and, upon Landlord's request, certain of Tenant's Agents shall attend such meetings.  In addition, minutes shall be taken at all such meetings, a copy of which minutes shall be distributed to all attendees, including Landlord.  One such meeting each month shall include the review of the most recent Application for Payment for the applicable Project.

5.3 Notice of Completion; Copy of Record Set of Plans .  Within ten (10) days after substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements of each project, Tenant shall cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the County of San Diego in accordance with Section 3093 of the California Civil Code or any successor statute, and shall furnish a copy thereof to Landlord upon such recordation.  If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may execute and file the same on behalf of Tenant as Tenant's agent for such purpose, and at Tenant's sole cost and expense.  In addition to the foregoing, promptly following substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements of each Project, Tenant shall cause the applicable Architect and Contractor (i) to update the Approved Working Drawings for such Tenant Improvements as necessary to reflect any and all changes made to the Approved Working Drawings during the course of construction, (ii) to certify that such "as-built" drawings are true and correct in accordance with applicable standards, and (iii) to deliver to Landlord two (2) sets of copies of such as-built record set of drawings.

5.4 PMA's Fee .  For each Project of the Existing Premises Work, Landlord shall pay PMA a project management fee (" PMA's Fee ") equal to 2.65% of the Tenant Improvement Allowance Items payable by Landlord from the Tenant Improvement Allowance or by Tenant from the Over-Allowance Amount, exclusive of (i) any FF&E Costs and (ii) PMA’s Fee for such Project.  PMA's Fee for each Project will be established as a fixed fee once the Approved Tenant Budget for the applicable Project is determined (but subject to revision as a result of any Tenant Change Order Requests), along with a schedule of payment of the PMA's Fee, which shall be payable in monthly installments over the scheduled term of construction.

TENANT WORK LETTER – MUST-TAKE SPACE 1 AND MUST-TAKE SPACE 3

This Exhibit B-2 is applicable to the construction of Tenant Improvement in the Must-Take Space 1 and Must-Take Space 3, as applicable.  This Tenant Work Letter shall set forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction of the tenant improvements in the Premises.  This Tenant Work Letter is essentially organized chronologically and addresses the issues of the construction of the Premises, in sequence, as such issues will arise during the actual construction of the Premises.  All references in this Tenant Work Letter to Articles or Sections of "this Lease" shall mean the relevant portion of Articles 1 through 29 of the Office Lease to which this Tenant Work Letter is attached as Exhibit B-2 and of which this Tenant Work Letter forms a part, and all references in this Tenant Work Letter to Sections of "this Tenant Work Letter" shall mean the relevant portion of Sections 1 through 6 of this Exhibit B-2 .  All references in this Exhibit B-2 to " Premises " shall mean the Must-Take Space 1 or Must-Take Space 3, as applicable.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Tenant Improvements shall be constructed in different phases, with the Tenant Improvements being constructed in Must-Take Space 1 prior to the construction of the Tenant Improvements in Must-Take Space 3, and, therefore, the terms and conditions of this Tenant Work Letter shall apply to each phase of construction independently.  

SECTION 1

LANDLORD'S INITIAL CONSTRUCTION IN THE PREMISES

As of the date of this Lease set forth in the Summary, Landlord has constructed, at its sole cost and expense, the Base, Shell, and Core (as hereinafter defined) of the following:  (i)  the Premises, (ii)  the floor of the Existing Building on which the Premises is located, and (C) the Common Areas. The term " Base, Shell, and Core " shall mean the following elements of the Existing Building in which the Premises are located: (A) the Building Systems (as defined in Section 7.1 of the Lease) serving the Premises wherever located in the Existing Building ; and (B) all structural components of the Existing Building. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Tenant Work Letter to the contrary, but subject to the remaining terms of this Section 1 , below, Tenant shall accept the Base, Shell and Core of the Premises from Landlord in their presently existing, "as-is" condition; provided, however, that (i) the foregoing shall not modify any of the Landlord's repair and maintenance obligations relating to the Base, Shell and Core set forth in Section 7.2 of the Lease, and (ii) prior to the Must-Take 1 Commencement Date and Must-Take 3 Commencement Date, as applicable, Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole cost and expense (and not as a deduction from the Tenant Improvement Allowance), complete the following with respect to the applicable Premises (collectively, "Landlord's Work "):

(a) Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Lease to the contrary, upon the Must-Take 1 Commencement Date or Must-Take 3 Commencement Date, as applicable, the "Building Systems," as that term is defined in the Lease, serving such Premises shall be in good working condition and repair.  Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole cost and expense (which shall not be deemed an Operating Expense), repair or replace any failed or inoperable portion of the Building Systems if it is determined, within thirty (30) days following the Must-Take 1 Commencement Date or Must-Take 3 Commencement Date, as applicable, that the Building Systems were not in good working condition and repair as of the Must-Take 1 Commencement Date or Must-Take 3 Commencement Date, as applicable, (" Landlord’s Warranty "), provided that the need to repair or replace was not caused by the misuse, misconduct, damage, destruction and/or negligence (collectively, " Tenant Damage ") of Tenant, its subtenants and/or assignees, if any. To the extent repairs which Landlord is required to make pursuant to this Section 1 are necessitated in part by Tenant Damage, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of such repair. If it is determined that any portion of the Building Systems were not in good working condition and repair within thirty (30) days following the Must-Take 1 Commencement Date or Must-Take 3 Commencement Date, as applicable, then Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages, but as Tenant's sole remedy, Landlord, at no cost to Tenant, shall promptly commence such work or take such other action as may be necessary to place the same in good working condition and repair, and shall thereafter diligently pursue the same to completion.

 

EXHIBIT B-2

 

 

 


 

(b) To the extent required in order to obtain a certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy, or legal equivalent, for such Premises for general office use assuming a normal and customary office occupancy density, cause the Base, Shell, and Core (including, without limitation, those applicable portions of the Common Areas included in the Base, Shell and Core, which are commonly known as the "path of travel" to the applicable Premises) to comply with applicable building codes and other governmental laws, ordinances and regulations, including but not limited to those related to handicap access, which were enacted and enforced as of the Must-Take 1 Commencement Date or Must-Take 3 Commencement Date, as applicable.

All of Landlord's Agents shall carry worker's compensation insurance covering all of their respective employees, and shall also carry public liability insurance, including property damage, all with limits, in form and with companies reasonably approved by Tenant.  In addition, Landlord shall cause the Contractor, to carry "Builder's All Risk" insurance in an amount reasonably approved by Tenant covering the Landlord's Work or the construction of the Tenant Improvements, as applicable.  In the event any of Landlord's Work or the Tenant Improvements are damaged by any cause covered by such insurance during the course of the construction thereof, Landlord shall enforce the terms of the Construction Contract, including without limitation any indemnity provisions, in order to cause the damage to be repaired using the proceeds of such insurance.  If any of the Tenant Improvements are damaged by any cause not covered by insurance but would have been covered by insurance if Landlord had carried (or required the Contractor to carry) the insurance required by the terms of this Tenant Work Letter, then Landlord shall cause such damage to be repaired at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, and not as a Final Cost .  Landlord shall cause “Builder’s All-Risk” insurance coverage on the Landlord’s Work and the construction of the Tenant Improvements to preclude or waive subrogation claims by the insurer against Tenant, its agents, employees and representatives, and if reasonably available any certificate evidencing such insurance coverage shall contain a provision that the company writing such policy, or its agent, will endeavor to give Tenant thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice of any cancellation or lapse of the policy or any reduction in the amounts of such insurance prior to the Substantial Completion of the Premises (as defined in Section 5.1 below).

2.4 Applications for Payment to Landlord's Agents and Payment Conditions .  From time to time between the date of this Lease and the determination of the Final Costs for the Premises, Landlord shall pay the Contractor and its subcontractors for Tenant Improvement Allowance Items incurred by Landlord in accordance with the Construction Contract, subject to the terms and conditions of Progress Payments set forth in this Section 2.4 as follows:

2.4.1 Draw Requests .  Prior to making any payment to the Contractor or to any other third party manufacturer, vendor, supplier, or governmental authority or utility retained by Landlord, for any other amount to be incurred by Landlord in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements (each, a " Progress Payment "), (a)  Tenant's Representative shall have received complete copies of all of the fully-executed subcontracts and material supplier contracts that are not included in the Construction Contract, as previously approved by Tenant in accordance with Section 4.3.2 of this Tenant Work Letter, for all of the Landlord's Agents (as hereinafter defined) included as payees in the applicable Draw Request (as hereinafter defined), each of which shall be in the form approved by Tenant in advance in accordance with this Tenant Work Letter, and copies of all fully-executed Tenant Change Orders (as hereinafter defined) associated therewith, if any (which shall cover all work for which Landlord seeks to make payment pursuant to the applicable Draw Request, provided that each contract and Change Order need be submitted only once for each such payee), and (b) Tenant’s Representative shall have received and approved the Landlord's written request for approval of the proposed Progress Payment amount (each, a “ Draw Request ”), which Draw Request shall include the following items:  (i) a request for payment of the Contractor in a form similar to the AIA G702 payment application request, showing the schedule, by trade, of percentage of completion of the Tenant Improvements, and detailing the portion of Tenant Improvements completed and the portion not completed as of the date of such Draw Request; (ii) invoices from all other "Landlord's Agents"

as defined below, for labor rendered and materials delivered to the Premises; (iii) executed mechanic's lien releases from all of Landlord's Agents which shall comply with the appropriate provisions, as reasonably determined by Landlord, of California Civil Code Sections 8132, 8134, 8136 and 8138 (with unconditional lien waivers from all of the Landlord's Agents for whom payments were requested pursuant to the previous Draw Request in the amounts reasonably approved by Tenant for payment to such Landlord's Agents pursuant thereto, as such amount may be reduced by a retention not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the amount reasonably approved by Tenant for payment); and (iv) a certificate from the Architect certifying the requisite percentage of completion of such work has been completed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord has paid any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance to any of the Landlord's Agents, but pursuant to any unresolved dispute between Landlord and such Landlord's Agent, such Landlord's Agent shall fail to deliver an unconditional lien waiver, then as long as Landlord provides reasonably satisfactory evidence to Tenant's Representative that the amount included in such unconditional lien waiver has been paid to such Landlord's Agent, then Tenant's Representative shall not withhold approval of any ensuing Draw Request on the basis of such missing unconditional lien waiver otherwise satisfying the foregoing requirements; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not make Tenant liable for any disputed amount in excess of the amount approved by Tenant for payment in accordance with the Draw Request submitted by landlord in connection with such disputed amount.  The Contractor and all subcontractors and, laborers used by Landlord in connection with Tenant Improvements shall be known collectively as " Landlord's Agents ."  All contracts entered into by Landlord with Landlord's Agents (" Landlord Agent Contracts ") shall be subject to Tenant's reasonable approval, provided, however, unless an approval process is otherwise expressly set forth in the Tenant Work Letter, Tenant shall respond to any request for Tenant approval to any Landlord Agent Contract in a timely manner so as not to delay the Project Schedule.  

2.5 Applications for Payment to Tenant's Agents and Payment Conditions .  From time to time between the date of this Lease and the TIA Expiration Date, but not more frequently than monthly, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant Improvement Allowance Items incurred by Tenant and payable to Architect, Engineers and/or third-party manufacturers, vendors and suppliers (collectively " Vendors "), in accordance with Applications for Payment submitted to Landlord in accordance with this Section 2.5 as follows:

2.5.1 Applications for Payment .  On or before the fifth (5th) day of each calendar month in which Tenant may request reimbursement of Tenant Improvement Allowance Items payable by Landlord from the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the following items, to the extent applicable to the amounts requested for reimbursement (each, an " Application for Payment "):  a copy of such Architect's, Engineer's, Vendor's or other Tenant's Agent's written receipts for fees and costs that are included in the amounts to be reimbursed by Landlord pursuant to such Application for Payment.  No later than the date that occurs thirty (30) days after such Application for Payment is timely received by Landlord, Landlord shall deliver a check to Tenant in payment of the lesser of:  (y) the amounts so requested by Tenant, as set forth in this Section 2.5.1, above, and (z) the balance of any remaining available portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance; provided that Landlord may reasonably delay payment of some or all of such amount to Tenant until Tenant has provided such other information reasonably requested by Landlord within five (5) business days of Landlord's receipt of such Application for Payment in confirmation of Tenant's payment of the amounts requested therein.  

2.5.2 Failure to Disburse Tenant Improvement Allowance.  If Landlord fails to timely fulfill its obligation to fund any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance for amounts to be reimbursed to Tenant in accordance with this Section 2.5, Tenant shall be entitled to deliver notice (the " Payment Notice ") thereof to Landlord and to any Superior Holders of the Project whose identity and address have been previously provided to Tenant.  If Landlord still fails to fulfill any such obligation within twenty (20) business days after Landlord's receipt of the Payment Notice from Tenant and if Landlord fails to deliver notice to Tenant within such twenty (20) business day period explaining Landlord's reasons that Landlord believes that the amounts described in Tenant's Payment Notice are not due and payable by Landlord (" Refusal Notice "), Tenant shall be entitled, after Landlord's failure to pay such amounts within five (5) business days after Tenant's delivery of a second notice from Tenant delivered after the expiration of such (20) business day period, which second notice must contain the following inscription, in bold faced lettering: “ SECOND NOTICE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.5.2 OF EXHIBIT B-2 TO THE LEASE - - FAILURE TO TIMELY PAY THE REQUESTED ALLOWANCE MAY RESULT IN TENANT'S PAYMENT OF THE SAME AND A DEDUCTION FROM RENT UNDER THE LEASE ,” to pay the same and offset the amount so owed to Tenant by Landlord but not paid by Landlord (or if Landlord delivers a Refusal Notice but only with respect to a portion of the amount set forth in the Payment Notice

 

EXHIBIT B-2

 

 

 


 

and Landlord fails to pay such undisputed amount as required by the next succeeding sentence, the undisputed amount so owed to Tenant) against Tenant's next obligations to pay Rent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby agrees that if Landlord delivers a Refusal Notice disputing a portion of the amount set forth in Tenant's Payment Notice, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, concurrently with the delivery of the Refusal Notice, the undisputed portion of the amount set forth in the Payment Notice.  However, if Tenant is in Default under Section 19.1.1 of the Lease at the time that such offset would otherwise be applicable, Tenant shall not be entitled to such offset until such Default is cured.  If Landlord delivers a Refusal Notice, and if Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree on the disputed amounts to be so paid by Landlord, if any, within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of a Refusal Notice, Tenant may submit such dispute to a referee under the provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Sections 638 — 645.1, inclusive, in accordance with Section 29.22 of the Lease.  If Tenant prevails in any such arbitration, Tenant shall be entitled to apply such award as a credit against Tenant's obligations to pay Rent.

2.6 Project Schedule .  Subject to any Tenant Delays (as hereinafter defined), the Premises shall be constructed by Landlord in accordance with this Tenant Work Letter diligently following the effective date of this Lease; and subject to any Tenant Delays, and Tenant's rights under this Lease, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to construct the Tenant Improvements in the Premises in accordance with the Project Schedule (as hereinafter defined) for the Premises.  The term " Project Schedule " shall mean the following, as applicable:  (a) for the construction of Tenant Improvements in Must-Take Space 1, the project schedule attached hereto and incorporated herein as Schedule 1 to this Work Letter; and (b) for Must-Take Space 3, the construction schedule incorporated into the Construction Contract for the Tenant Improvements thereto, as approved by Tenant in accordance with Section 4.3.2 of this Tenant Work Letter.  Tenant shall have the right to accelerate the milestone dates contained in the Project Schedule for the construction of the Tenant Improvements (or, with respect to the design of the Tenant Improvements, the applicable dates set forth in Schedule 1 to this Tenant Work Letter) by written notice indicating the revised milestone date that Tenant intends to advance (an “ Acceleration Notice ”); and if Tenant so elects, Landlord and Tenant shall use mutual good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to determine and agree upon the additional cost, if any, of achieving the accelerated milestone date (which shall similarly accelerate all subsequent milestone dates unless otherwise noted in the applicable Acceleration Notice), in consideration of the effect of such Acceleration Notice on all of the other terms and conditions of this Tenant Work Letter; and in the event that Landlord and Tenant agree upon such additional cost and the effect of such acceleration on the Project Schedule, the Project Schedule for the construction of the Tenant Improvements shall be modified in accordance with the Acceleration Notice.  If at any time during the design, permitting and construction process Tenant reasonably believes that Landlord will fail to meet any of such delivery or permitting deadlines, Tenant shall have the right to notify Landlord of such belief and the reasons therefor, and Landlord shall promptly provide a status update to Tenant, and revisions to Schedule 1 to this Tenant Work Letter or a revised Project Schedule, as applicable, to reflect any prior, on-going and anticipated delays.  If at any time during the design, permitting or construction of the Premises, Landlord reasonably believes that Landlord will fail to meet any of the required delivery or permitting milestones of Schedule 1 to this Tenant Work Letter or the Project Schedule, Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant of the anticipated delay, including any known causation and the Landlord’s estimate of the duration of such delay (if Landlord is reasonably capable of estimating such duration).

EXHIBIT B-2

 

 

 


 

(or deemed approval, in accordance with Section 3.7 below) of the Construction Drawings pursuant to such review, shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord's review of the same, or obligate Landlord to review the same, for quality, design, Code compliance or other like matters.  Accordingly, notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings are reviewed or approved (or deemed approved) by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord's space planner, architect, engineers, and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the Construction Drawings, and Tenant's waiver and indemnity set forth in this Lease shall specifically apply to the Construction Drawings.

3.2 Final Space Plan .  On or before the date set forth in Schedule 1, attached hereto, Tenant and the Architect shall prepare the final space plan for Tenant Improvements in the Premises (collectively, the " Final Space Plan "), which Final Space Plan shall include a layout and designation of all offices, rooms and other partitioning, their intended use, and equipment to be contained therein, and shall deliver two (2) copies signed by Tenant of the Final Space Plan to Landlord for Landlord's approval.  Landlord shall approve or disapprove the Final Space Plan by notice to Tenant within five (5) business days after Landlord's receipt of the same.  If Landlord disapproves the Final Space Plan, Landlord's notice of disapproval shall specify any revisions Landlord desires in the Final Space Plan.  If Landlord timely and reasonably disapproves of the Final Space Plan, Tenant shall cause the Architect to revise the Final Space Plan, taking into account the reasons for Landlord's disapproval, and resubmit the Final Space Plan to Landlord for its approval.  Such revision and resubmission shall occur within five (5) business days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's timely delivery of such notice of disapproval if such revision is not material, and within such longer period of time as may be reasonably necessary (but not more than ten (10) business days after such receipt by Tenant) if such revision is material.  Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, Landlord may not disapprove of any Final Space Plan proposed by Tenant unless the proposed Tenant Improvements would cause a Design Problem (as hereinafter defined).  A " Design Problem " shall mean any of the following:  (a) an adverse effect on Base, Shell and Core of the Premises (as reasonably determined by Landlord), (b) a material increase in the cost of occupancy, use, maintenance or repair of the Building or the Project, or (c) noncompliance with Code.  If Landlord’s written approval, or disapproval satisfying the requirements of the preceding sentence, is not received by Tenant within ten (10) business days following Landlord's receipt of the proposed Final Space Plan from Tenant, then the terms of Section 3.7, below, shall be applicable.  Such procedure shall be repeated as necessary until Tenant has approved the Final Space Plan.  

3.3 Final Working Drawings .  After approving the Final Space Plan, Tenant shall cause the Architect and the Engineers to prepare and deliver to Landlord the architectural and engineering drawings for the Premises, and the final architectural working drawings in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits (collectively, the " Final Working Drawings "), and that conform to the approved Final Space Plan.  Such preparation and delivery shall occur within fifteen (15) business days after Landlord's approval of the Final Space Plan.  Landlord shall approve or disapprove the Final Working Drawings by notice to Tenant within ten (10) business days after Landlord's receipt of the same.  If Landlord disapproves the Final Working Drawings, Landlord's notice of disapproval shall specify any revisions Landlord desires in the Final Working Drawings.  If Landlord timely and reasonably disapproves the Final Work Drawings in accordance with this Section 3.3, Tenant shall cause the Architect and/or the Engineers to revise the Final Working Drawings, taking into account the reasons for Landlord’s disapproval (provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to cause the Architect or the Engineers to make any revision to the Final Working Drawings that is inconsistent with the Approved Working Drawings or that Tenant otherwise reasonably disapproves), and resubmit the Final Working Drawings to Landlord for its approval.  Such revision and resubmission shall occur within ten (10) business days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord’s timely notice of disapproval if such revision is not material, and within such longer period of time as may be reasonably necessary (but not more than fifteen (15) business days after such receipt by Tenant) if such revision is material.  Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, Landlord may not disapprove of any Final Working Drawings proposed by Tenant unless the proposed Tenant Improvements would cause a Design Problem.  Such procedure shall be repeated as necessary until Landlord has approved the Final Working Drawings.  Tenant shall have the right to value-engineer the design of the Tenant Improvements in Tenant’s reasonable discretion as part of the process of negotiating the cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements with the Bidding Contractors. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant's value engineering efforts may result in additional revisions to the Final Working Drawings, and as long as such revisions do not cause a Design Problem, the Final Working Drawings shall be modified by the Architect to incorporate such requested changes, in

 

EXHIBIT B-2

 

 

 


 

accordance with the process set forth in this Section 3.3 until the Final Working Drawings are in a form which is complete for incorporation into the Construction Contract as the basis of the contract sum payable to the Contractor in accordance with Section 4.3.2 below; provided that Landlord's approval of the Final Working Drawings incorporating any Tenant-requested value-engineering changes shall not be withheld except in the case of a Design Problem.  The Final Working Drawings approved by Landlord and Tenant (as modified in accordance with Section 3.4 , below, in order for the appropriate municipal authorities to issue the Permits) are referred to in this Work Letter as the “ Approved Working Drawings ”.    Without limiting the foregoing, if Landlord fails to timely approve or reasonably disapprove the Final Working Drawings within ten (10) business day following their submission by Tenant for Landlord's approval, the terms of Section 3.7 , below, shall be applicable.

3.4 Permits .  The Final Working Drawings shall be approved by Landlord in accordance with Section 3.3 , above, or shall be deemed approved by Landlord in accordance with Section 3.7 , below (in either case, the " Approved Working Drawings "), prior to the commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements.  Tenant shall immediately submit the Approved Working Drawings to the appropriate municipal authorities for all applicable building permits necessary to allow "Contractor," as that term is defined in Section 4.1 , below, to commence and fully complete the construction of the Tenant Improvements (the " Permits "), and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in executing permit applications and performing other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to obtain such Permits, and, in connection therewith, Tenant shall coordinate with Landlord in order to allow Landlord, at its option, to take part in all phases of the permitting process and shall supply Landlord, as soon as possible, with all plan check numbers and dates of submittal and obtain the Permits on or before the date set forth in Schedule 1 to this Tenant Work Letter; provided, however, that promptly following approval of the Approved Working Drawings (as the same may be modified in order to obtain the Permits in accordance with this Section 3.4 ) and the issuance of the Permits by the appropriate municipal authority, Landlord shall cause the Contractor to physically pick up the Permits and inform Tenant that such permits have been picked up.  Following Landlord’s approval, or deemed approval, of the Approved Working Drawings, the Approved Working Drawings shall not be modified for any reason other than a Minor Variation (as hereinafter defined) without Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.  No material changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Working Drawings of any Project may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  " Minor Variation " shall mean any modification to make reasonable adjustments for field deviations or conditions encountered during construction.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3.4 , but subject to Landlord's obligation pursuant to Section 1 , above, Tenant hereby agrees that neither Landlord nor Landlord's consultants shall be responsible for obtaining any building permit for the Premises and that the obtaining of the same shall be Tenant's responsibility; provided however that Landlord shall, in any event, cooperate with Tenant in executing permit applications and performing other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to obtain the Permits.  

3.5 Time Deadlines .  Landlord and Tenant shall use their mutual good faith efforts and all due diligence to (a) cooperate with one another, and the Architect and the Engineers, to complete all phases of the Construction Drawings and the permitting process in order to receive the Permits in accordance with the applicable Schedule 1 to this Tenant Work Letter, and (b) cooperate with one another, and with the Contractor, to obtain a reasonable "Cost Proposal," as that term is defined in Section 4.2 of this Tenant Work Letter, for the Tenant Improvements to Must-Take Space 1, as soon as possible after the execution of the Lease (and with respect to the Tenant Improvements to Must-Take Space 3, in accordance with Schedule 1 to this Tenant Work Letter), and, in that regard, Landlord and Tenant shall meet with one another to discuss Tenant's progress in connection with the Construction Drawings and Permits, and in connection with Landlord's progress in connection with the Cost Proposal and the Construction Contract.  The applicable dates for approval of items, plans and drawings as described in this Section 3 , Section 4 , below, and in this Tenant Work Letter are set forth and further elaborated upon in Schedule 1 (the " Time Deadlines "), attached hereto.  Tenant agrees to comply with those Time Deadlines applicable to the Construction Drawings and Permits, and Landlord agrees to comply with those Time Deadlines applicable to the Cost Proposal and the Construction Contract.

3.6 Changes to Approved Working Drawings .  Without limiting Tenant’s right to make Minor Variations to the Approved Working Drawings without Landlord’s approval, Tenant shall also have the right to modify the Approved Working Drawings with Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall be granted unless the requested modification would cause a Design Problem.  Tenant shall request such modifications to the

Approved Working Drawings by notifying Landlord in writing, in substantially the same form as the AIA standard change order form (a “ Tenant Change Order Request ”), which Tenant Change Order Request shall detail the nature and extent of any such modification and shall be signed by Tenant's Representative and the Contractor of the applicable Project.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to approve or reasonably disapprove such Tenant Change Order Request no later than five (5) business days after Landlord's receipt thereof, with any such disapproval of a Tenant Change Order Request to specify the reasonable basis for such disapproval accompanied by a written detailed description of changes by Landlord.  If Landlord approves a Tenant Change Order Request, Tenant may cause the Approved Working Drawings to be modified accordingly.  If Landlord fails to respond with Landlord's approval or reasonable disapproval (in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 3.6 ) within such five (5) business day period, then the terms of Section 3.7, below, shall be applicable.

3.7 Deemed Approval .  If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of Landlord's approval or disapproval of any proposed Final Space Plan or Final Working Drawings, or any Tenant Change Order Request, within the applicable time period set forth herein, Tenant shall have the right to provide Landlord with a second (2nd) written request for approval (a " Second Request ") that specifically identifies the applicable Construction Drawings or Tenant Change Order Request and contains the following statement in bold and capital letters:  " THIS IS A SECOND REQUEST FOR APPROVAL PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 3.7 OF EXHIBIT B-2 TO THE LEASE.  IF LANDLORD FAILS TO RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE, THEN LANDLORD SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE APPROVED THE FINAL SPACE PLAN (OR FINAL WORKING DRAWINGS, OR TENANT CHANGE ORDER REQUEST, AS APPLICABLE) DESCRIBED HEREIN ."  If Landlord fails to respond to such Second Request within five (5) business days after Landlord's receipt thereof, the proposed Final Space Plan, Final Working Drawings or Tenant Change Order Request shall be deemed approved by Landlord.

received by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to this Section 4.1 of this Tenant Work Letter; provided that (i) any failure by Tenant to reasonably participate in such process shall be a Tenant Delay; and (ii) any failure by Landlord to reasonably participate in such process shall be a Landlord Delay.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant fail to agree on a Contractor from among the Bidding Contractors within such five (5) business day period following Tenant’s receipt of Landlord's bid analysis, Tenant shall be permitted to select the Contractor from among the Bidding Contractors in Tenant’s sole discretion provided such Bidding Contractor agrees to comply with the Project Schedule.  The competitive bid of the Bidding Contractors selected pursuant to this Section 4.1.2 , or the negotiated bid selected by Tenant pursuant to Section 4.1.3 below, as applicable, shall be documented as a written proposal from the Bidding Contractor for the cost of completing the construction of the Tenant Improvements on a guaranteed maximum price basis, based upon the Approved Working Drawings and shall include a detailed line item breakdown of all costs included in the completion of the construction of the Tenant Improvements, including the Contractor’s fee, overhead, general conditions and insurance.  

4.1.3 Negotiated Bid Option .  By written notice to Landlord delivered within five (5) business days following Tenant’s receipt of the last bid to be timely submitted by the Bidding Contractors in accordance with Section 4.1.2 above, Tenant may notify Landlord that Tenant intends to solicit negotiated bids from one (1) or more of the Bidding Contractors from whom bids have been timely received (a “ Negotiated Bid Notice ”), and if Tenant timely delivers a Negotiated Bid Notice to Landlord, then for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) business days following delivery of such notice (the “ Negotiated Bid Period ”), Tenant may pursue negotiated bids from such Bidding Contractor(s).  Landlord shall have the right to participate in Tenant's negotiated bid process with any of the of the Bidding Contractors designated in the Negotiated Bid Notice following Tenant's timely delivery of the Negotiated Bid Notice (provided that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 5.3, below, any failure by Landlord to reasonably participate in such process shall be a Landlord Delay), and Tenant shall share copies of all negotiated bid responses received by Tenant pursuant to such process on an “open book” basis.  If Tenant fails to timely deliver the Negotiated Bid Notice to Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall select the Contractor in accordance with the competitive bid process set forth in Section 4.1.2 of this Work Letter.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may continue to negotiate with the Bidding Contractors beyond the expiration of the Negotiated Bid Period without affecting Tenant's right to select the Contractor pursuant to such negotiations; provided that any delays resulting from such Tenant negotiations with the Bidding Contractors beyond the Negotiated Bid Period shall be Tenant Delays.

EXHIBIT B-2

 

 

 


 

amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, then Tenant shall pay a percentage of each amount requested by the Contractor or otherwise to be disbursed under this Tenant Work Letter, which percentage shall be equal to the Over-Allowance Amount divided by the amount of the Cost Proposal (after deducting from the Cost Proposal any amounts expended in connection with the preparation of the Construction Drawings, and the cost of all other Tenant Improvement Allowance Items incurred prior to the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements), and such payments by Tenant (the " Over-Allowance Payments ") shall be a condition to Landlord's obligation to pay any amounts from the Tenant Improvement Allowance.  In the event that, after the Cost Proposal Delivery Date, any revisions, changes, or substitutions shall be made to the Construction Drawings or the Tenant Improvements, any additional costs which arise in connection with such revisions, changes or substitutions or any other additional costs shall be added to the Over-Allowance Amount and the Final Costs, and the Over-Allowance Payments shall be recalculated in accordance with the terms of the immediately preceding sentence.

4.3.2 Landlord's Retention of Contractor .  Landlord shall submit to Tenant's Representative and Project Manager a copy of the Landlord's proposed construction contracts with the Contractor selected in accordance with Section 3.1 above (the " Construction Contract ") for Tenant's review and prior written approval thereof, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that the terms and conditions of such Construction Contract are in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Section 4.3.2 , below, and if Tenant’s written approval or disapproval (accompanied by a written detailed description of changes required by Tenant to satisfy its concerns relating to the proposed Construction Contract) is not received within ten (10) business days after such contract is submitted to Tenant for Tenant’s approval, then such delay by Tenant in the delivery of such written approval or disapproval shall be a Tenant Delay.  If Tenant timely disapproves the proposed Construction Contract in accordance with this Section 4.3.2, Landlord shall cause the proposed Construction Contract to be revised as reasonably required to address Tenant’s specified concerns, and shall submit the revised Construction Contract to Tenant for its review and approval as provided in this Section 4.3.2, and such procedure shall continue until Tenant has approved of the proposed Construction Contract for execution by Landlord and the Contractor (provided that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for the Contractor’s refusal to agree to any of Tenant's changes and any delay in negotiating the Construction Contract as a result thereof shall be deemed a Tenant Delay), provided that such consent, or any objections or comments, provided by Tenant (or lack thereof) shall in no way imply that such Construction Contract is sufficient or meet the requirements for the related work under this Tenant Work Letter.  The Construction Contract shall be in the AIA form of a guaranteed maximum price basis (A102-2007) or a Cost plus Fee with GMP construction agreement (A103-2007).  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Construction Contract to provide that:  (a) Tenant and Tenant's Representative will be named as additional insureds on each CGL policy to be carried by Contractor; (b) Tenant shall be an express third-party beneficiary of all of the Landlord contractual rights and all of the Contractor's obligations, including, but not limited to, (i) naming Tenant as an indemnified party for the Landlord's Agent's indemnification obligations, (ii) Tenant shall be a permitted assignee of Landlord's interest the Construction Contract with the right to enforce the covenants and obligations of the Contractor, and (iii) both Landlord and Tenant shall be named as the beneficiaries of all industry standard warranties, and (c) upon notice from Tenant that a "Construction Contract Assignment Condition" (as that term is defined below) has occurred, the "Owner" position in the Construction Contract shall be assigned by Landlord to Tenant and Contractor shall accept such assignment and recognize Tenant as the Owner under the Construction Contract.  If following a Construction Contract Assignment Condition, Tenant reasonably elects to accelerate the then-effective Project Schedule in order to achieve Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements as soon as reasonably practical following Tenant's delivery of written notice that a Construction Contract Assignment Condition has occurred, then any costs reasonably incurred by Tenant in connection with such acceleration (and which would not have been incurred by Tenant or Landlord but for such acceleration) shall be paid by Landlord and excluded from Tenant Improvement Allowance Items payable from the Tenant Improvement Allowance or the Over-Allowance.  As used herein, a "Construction Contract Assignment Condition" shall mean (y) with respect to the Tenant Improvements to Must-Take Space 1, a failure by Landlord to achieve Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements by July 30, 2018; and (z) with respect to the Tenant Improvements to Must-Take Space 3, a failure by Landlord to achieve Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements by August 30, 2019, in either case as the result of a Landlord Delay.  In addition to the foregoing, the proposed Construction Contract shall include the following (provided that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for the Contractor’s refusal to include the following in the Construction Contract and any delay in negotiating the Construction Contract as a result thereof shall be deemed a Tenant Delay):

In recognition that Tenant's Must-Take Space 2 Base Rent payment obligations are directly tied to the Development Costs incurred by Landlord in the performance of the Landlord's Work, Tenant shall have the right to participate in the negotiation of all Development Costs (as defined in Section 1.4.4.3 of this Lease) which are to be included in Project Costs, including, without limitation, all Design Fees (as defined in Section 1.4.4.3.1 of this Lease); and to the extent that Tenant has not approved, or is not deemed to have approved in advance (in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Tenant Work Letter) any of the costs or expenses of Landlord's Work that Landlord proposes for inclusion in Development Costs, pursuant to any Draw Request (as defined in Section 3.4 below) or the Actual  Project Cost Notice (in accordance with Section 1.4.4.6 of this Lease), and Tenant provides

 

EXHIBIT B-3

 

 

 


 

written notice to Landlord setting forth Tenant's reasons for objecting to the inclusion of such costs or expenses as Development Costs (individually and collectively, " Unapproved Development Costs "), then Landlord and Tenant shall promptly thereafter meet and attempt to agree in good faith as to whether or not such Unapproved Development Costs (x) were incurred by Landlord reasonably and in good faith in order to comply with the Landlord's Work requirements under this Tenant Work Letter, (y) are not otherwise excluded from Development Costs pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease, and (z) are commercially reasonable under market conditions existing at the time that such costs were incurred by Landlord. To the extent that Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree upon the inclusion or exclusion of any of the Unapproved Development Costs as Development Costs within then (10) business days following the commencement of such informal resolution discussions, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 6.8 of this Tenant Work Letter.  Unless, and except to the extent that, Unapproved Development Costs are approved by Tenant (or by the Arbitrator, as defined in Section 6.8 of this Tenant Work Letter) for inclusion in Development Costs in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 1.1 , such costs and expenses shall be excluded from Development Costs as if expressly set forth in Section 1.4.4.4 of this Lease.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Development Costs shall exclude all costs and expenses of the test-fitting of the Tenant Improvements and the conceptual design drawings, presentations and models for the proposed Lusk 3 Building that were incurred by Landlord prior to the date of this Lease, unless and only to the extent of those certain costs and fees of the Base Building Architect (as defined in Section 1.2, below) and PMA payable by Landlord for design work expressly included in the reimbursement obligations of Tenant under that certain Design Work Reimbursement Agreement between Landlord and Tenant, dated March 14, 2017, as amended.

1.2 Base, Shell and Core Design and Permitting .  Landlord shall construct the Base, Shell and Core pursuant to the Base Building Working Drawings (as hereinafter defined) to be prepared by Ferguson Pape Baldwin Architects (" Base Building Architect ") and those certain engineering consultants identified in the Approved BB Design Contracts (the " Base Building Engineers ") as a logical extension of those schematic drawings and preliminary specifications for the Base, Shell and Core prepared by the Base Building Architect, dated as of July 6, 2017, as more particularly described in the sheet list of drawings and the Lusk 3 Building floor plans and renderings attached hereto and incorporated herein as Schedule 2 (the " Preliminary Drawings "), in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 1.2 below.  Following the Tenant's approval of the Approved Base Building Drawings in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 1.2.2 below, and Tenant's selection of the Base Building Contractor, and approval of the BB Construction Contract in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 3.1.4 below , Landlord shall engage the Base Building Contractor in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 3.1.4 below, who shall procure the Base Building Permits (as defined in Section 1.2.3 below) from the appropriate municipal authorities and commence the construction of the Base, Shell and Core.  The plans and drawings to be prepared by Base Building Architect and the Base Building Engineers pursuant to the process of this Section 1.2 are sometimes referred to in this Tenant Work Letter, generically as the " Base Building Drawings ".  

1.2.1 Engagement of Base Building Architect and Engineers .  Promptly following the mutual execution and delivery of this Lease, Landlord will enter into one or more professional services agreements between Landlord and the Base Building Architect and some or all of the Base Building Engineers to design the Base, Shell and Core, subject to Tenant's prior approval of the terms and conditions of such agreements, including, without limitation, the Design Fees payable by Landlord pursuant to such Approved BB Design Contracts as Project Costs (the " Approved BB Design Fees "), in advance of Landlord entering into any of the foregoing agreements (as such agreement(s) may be modified and/or supplemented from time to time with Tenant's prior approval thereof, the " Approved BB Design Contracts "); provided, however, Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of such agreements and design fees.  In recognition that Tenant's Must-Take Space 2 Base Rent payment obligations are directly tied to the Approved BB Design Fees of the Landlord's Base Building Work, Landlord hereby agrees not to unilaterally (a) make or agree to any material change to any Approved BB Design Contract, nor (b) increase the Approved BB Design Fees as Project Costs, without Tenant's prior approval, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Tenant Work Letter (e.g., any extension of contract time due to Tenant Delays in accordance with Section 5.3 below, or any increased design costs due to any Tenant Change Order Requests (as defined in Section 1.4 below) modifying the Approved Base Building Drawings); provided, however, that Tenant shall not unreasonably delay or withhold its approval of any Landlord-requested changes to any Approved BB Design Contract.  

1.2.2 Approved Working Drawings .  Promptly following the full execution and delivery of the Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate in good faith and in accordance with the Project Schedule to supply the Base Building Architect such information requested by the Base Building Architect which is reasonably necessary to

 

EXHIBIT B-3

 

 

 


 

allow the Base Building Architect to complete the Base Building Drawings, as a logical extension of the Preliminary Drawings, in a form that is sufficient to enable the Base Building Contractor and subcontractors to bid on the work of construction of the Base, Shell and Core, and to obtain all applicable permits for the construction of the Base Shell and Core, including structural, and core mechanical, electrical and plumbing requirements, as well as exterior landscaping and other site improvements required for the Base Building Permits (as defined in Section 1.2.3 below).  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Base Building Architect and Base Building Engineers to work in good faith with Tenant to prepare and deliver the proposed Base Building Drawings to Landlord and Tenant for review and approval in accordance with the Project Schedule.  If Tenant disapproves the proposed Base Building Drawings, Tenant's notice of disapproval shall specify the reasons for such disapproval and those revisions required to obtain Tenant's approval of the Final Base Building Drawings (as hereinafter defined) for their submission to the Bidding BB Contractors in accordance with Section 3.1 below.  After receiving such notice of disapproval, Landlord shall cause the Base Building Architect to revise the Base Building Drawings in accordance with the Tenant's requested changes; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to cause the Base Building Architect to make any revision to the Base Building Drawings that creates a Base Building Design Problem (as defined in Section 1.2.3 below).  Once the proposed Base Building Drawings have been so revised, the revised Base Building Drawings will be resubmitted to Tenant for approval.  Such revision and resubmission process shall occur within ten (10)  business days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's written notice of disapproval (if such revision is not material; otherwise the revised Base Building Drawings will be resubmitted to Tenant within such longer period of time as may be reasonably necessary, but not more than fifteen (15)  business days after Landlord's receipt of such disapproval notice).  Such procedure shall be repeated as necessary until Tenant and Landlord have both approved the Base Building Drawings for submission to the Bidding BB Contractors (the " Final Base Building Drawings "), provided that Landlord's approval of any revised Base Building Drawings incorporating any Tenant-requested revisions shall not be withheld except in the case of a Base Building Design Problem.  Landlord shall immediately submit the Final Base Building Drawings to the Bidding BB Contractors in accordance with Section 3.1 below, in order for Tenant to select the Base Building Contractor to be retained by Landlord.  Following Tenant's selection of the Base Building Contractor (or as part of such selection process), Tenant shall have the right to value-engineer the design of the Base, Shell and Core in Tenant's reasonable discretion as part of the process of negotiating the cost of construction of the Landlord's Base Building Work in accordance with the Project Schedule, and Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Base Building Architect and Base Building Engineers to reasonably participate in such value engineering process (with the applicable Design Fees payable in accordance with the Approved BB Design Fees) in compliance with the Project Schedule. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant's value engineering efforts may result in additional revisions to the Final Base Building Drawings, which may be requested by Tenant in accordance with the Project Schedule, and as long as such revisions do not cause a Base Building Design Problem, the Final Base Building Drawings shall be modified by the Base Building Architect to incorporate such requested changes, in accordance with process set forth in this Section 1.2.2 above, until the Final Base Building Drawings are in a form which is complete for incorporation into the BB Construction Contract as the basis of the contract sum payable to the Base Building Contractor in accordance with Section 3.1.4 below, and to allow the Base Building Contractor and its subcontractors to obtain all applicable Base Building Permits in accordance with Section 1.2.4 below.  The Final Base Building Drawings approved by Landlord and Tenant for incorporation by reference into the BB Construction Contract in accordance with this Section 1.2.2 (as the same may be modified in accordance with Section 1.2.4 , below, in order for the appropriate municipal authorities to issue the Base Building Permits) shall be known as the " Approved Base Building Drawings ." Except as provided in Section 1.2.4 and Section 1.4 below, respectively, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall make any changes or modifications to the Approved Base Building Drawings, without the prior written consent of the other party to this Lease, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  

1.2.3 Base Building Design Problems .    For the purposes of this Tenant Work Letter, a " Base Building Design Problem " means, and will be deemed to exist to the extent, that any component or components of the proposed Base Building Drawings (or any Tenant-proposed revisions thereto) either: (a) represents a material deviation from the design of the Base, Shell and Core improvements of the Preliminary Drawings (unless such deviation is required to accommodate the design of the Tenant Improvements, as such design shall be subject to the Landlord's approval rights under Section 1.3.1 below with respect to any TI Design Problems), or (b) fails to, or is reasonably likely to cause any component of the Base, Shell and Core improvements to fail to, comply with Applicable Laws (taking into account that the separate design of the Tenant Improvements by the TI Architect is intended to complete the design of the Premises and the Landlord's Work in accordance with Applicable Laws).  Tenant shall be responsible for ensuring that all elements of the design of the Base Building Drawings (as such

 

EXHIBIT B-3

 

 

 


 

drawings may be modified by any Tenant Change Orders in accordance with Section 1.4 below) are suitable for Tenant's use of the Premises, and neither the preparation of the Base Building Drawings by the Base Building Architect, nor Landlord's approval of (or failure to disapprove) the Base Building Drawings pursuant to this Section 1.2. , shall relieve Tenant from such responsibility.  Landlord shall cause the Base Building Architect and the Base Building Engineers to use the "Required Level of Care" (defined below) to cause the Base Building Drawings to comply with Applicable Laws.  As used herein, " Required Level of Care " means the level of care that reputable architects and engineers customarily use in the San Diego market to cause drawings and specifications for a project of improvements similar to the Base, Shell and Core to comply with Applicable Laws (taking into account the separate and sequential phases of design of the Base, Shell and Core and the Tenant Improvements, and the TI Architect's and TI Engineers' responsibility for design of the Tenant Improvements in accordance with a similar Required Level of Care for the Tenant Improvements).

1.2.4 Permits for Base, Shell and Core .  Landlord shall, at Landlord's cost (but which shall be Project Cost), promptly submit the Approved Base Building Drawings to the appropriate municipal authorities in order to procure all applicable permits necessary to commence and fully complete the construction of the Base, Shell and Core (the " Base Building Permits "); provided, however, that the Approved Base Building Drawings may be submitted for such Base Building Permits in phases (e.g., the submission of those Approved Base Building Drawings for the grading permits to commence grading of the Building site may occur before the submission of those Approved Base Building Drawings for the remaining Base Building Permits). Landlord agrees to use reasonable diligent efforts to obtain such Base Building Permits, and in connection therewith, Landlord shall coordinate with Tenant in order to allow Tenant, at its option, to take part in the permitting process; and Landlord shall supply Tenant, as soon as possible, with all plan check numbers and dates of submittal of the Approved Base Building Drawings.  If the Approved Base Building Drawings are not approved by the applicable municipal authorities and such approval will require a change to the Approved Working Drawings, or will impose any condition on construction of the Base, Shell and Core, which:  (i) is materially inconsistent with the Approved Base Building Drawings, (ii) materially increase the cost of the Landlord's Base Building Work by increasing the Approved BB Design Fees or the negotiated contract sum of the BB Construction Contract, (iii) is determined by Tenant's Representative to materially and adversely affect Tenant's planned Permitted Use of the Premises and the Project, (iv) is materially inconsistent with the design of the Tenant Improvements as set forth in the most recent iteration of the TI Construction Drawings (as defined in Section 1.3.1 below) as of the date such disapproval, or (v) is reasonably likely to substantially delay the Substantial Completion of Landlord's Work beyond December 31, 2019 (each of the foregoing, a " Material BB Design Change "), then Landlord and Tenant shall mutually and reasonably work together in good faith to modify the Approved Base Building Drawings to the extent required in order for the same to be approved by the applicable municipal authorities, and if the parties are unable to agree upon such modifications within ten (10) business days following Tenant's receipt of notice of any disapproval of the Approved Base Building Drawings by the applicable municipal authorities, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 6.8 of this Tenant Work Letter.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Approved Base Building Drawings are not approved by the applicable municipal authorities and Landlord and Tenant's Representative mutually determine that such approval will not require a Material BB Design Change, Landlord shall have the right to reasonably and in good faith modify the Approved Base Building Drawings to the extent required for the applicable municipal authorities to issue the Base Building Permits without Tenant's approval of such modifications, provided that (a) Landlord does so in consultation with the Tenant's Representative and Tenant's Project Manager, '''and (b) such modifications are otherwise consistent with the first class nature of the Project and do not use systems or equipment materially lower in quality (or materially more expensive) than those specified in the Approved Base Building Drawings; provided, however, that any additional or increased costs or expenses of the Landlord's Work of the Base, Shell and Core shall be subject to Tenant's prior approval in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 1.1 of this Tenant Work Letter, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.   The Approved Base Building Drawings, as the same may be modified in this Section 1.2.4 to procure the Base Building Permits, and in accordance with any Tenant Change Orders in accordance with Section 1.4 below, are sometimes referred to herein as the " Base Building Working Drawing ."

1.3 Design and Permitting of Tenant Improvements .  Landlord shall cause the Tenant Improvements to be constructed in accordance with the TI Working Drawings (as hereinafter defined) to be prepared in accordance with this Section 1.3 of this Tenant Work Letter.  Landlord shall retain an architect selected by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord in accordance with Section 1.3.1 below (the " TI Architect "; who, in Tenant's discretion may also be the Base Building Architect) and the TI Engineers (as defined in Section 1.3.1

Additionally, Tenant's Representative and Project Manager will have access to the Premises and the Landlord's and the Contractors' books and records to provide construction management services in representing Tenant with respect to the construction of the Landlord's Work, and will be provided with copies of all shop drawings and samples for review for compliance with the Tenant-approved design documents for Landlord's Work, will be permitted to assist in the drafting of Contractor bid documents and to perform regular site visits, participate in weekly project meetings, as reasonably required for construction management services of the Landlord's Work on behalf of Tenant, and to participate in the walk-through inspection of the Premises to determine whether the Delivery Condition has been satisfied (in

(a) all subcontractors' subcontracts shall, to the extent possible, have unit pricing which shall be applicable to the pricing of any Tenant Change Order Requests.  Additionally, prior to Substantial Completion of the Landlord's Work, Tenant shall have the right to require that any subcontractor invoices and/or schedules of value that do not provide sufficient detail satisfactory to Tenant, provide additional pricing breakout for portions of their work.  Such pricing breakout materials will take the form of simple spreadsheets or letters describing in detail the nature of work and references to the TI Working Drawings indicating the location of the work performed by such subcontractor; and

which Landlord proposes for inclusion in SMB Costs pursuant to any SMB Draw Request (as defined in Section 3.4 below), and Tenant provides written notice to Landlord setting forth Tenant's reasons for objecting to the inclusion of such costs or expenses as SMB Costs (provided that Tenant shall not object to the inclusion of such cost or expense as SMB Costs if Tenant has previously approved such cost or expense) promptly following the receipt of such SMB Draw Request by the Tenant's Representative (individually and collectively, " Unapproved SMB Costs "), then Landlord and Tenant shall promptly thereafter meet and attempt to agree in good faith as to whether or not such Unapproved SMB Costs (x) were incurred by Landlord reasonably and in good faith in order to comply with the Site Modernization/Beautification Improvements requirements pursuant to the SMB Working Drawings (as defined in Section 1.3.4 of this Tenant Work Letter), (y) are not otherwise excluded from SMB Costs pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease, and (z) are commercially reasonable under market conditions existing at the time that such costs were incurred by Landlord.  To the extent that Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree upon the inclusion or exclusion of any of the Unapproved SMB Costs as SMB Costs within ten (10) business days following the commencement of such informal resolution discussions, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 6.8 of this Tenant Work Letter.  Unless, and except to the extent that, Unapproved SMB Costs are approved by Tenant (or by the Arbitrator, as defined in Section 6.8 of this Tenant Work Letter) for inclusion in SMB Costs in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 1.1 , such costs and expenses shall be excluded from SMB Costs as if expressly set forth in Section 1.6.2.2 of this Lease.  Notwithstanding anything in this Tenant Work Letter or this Lease to the contrary:  (i) in no event shall the SMB Costs incurred by Landlord as a sum of the Tenant-Funded Amount and any Landlord's Common Area Contribution designated by Tenant for funding of SMB Costs in accordance with Section 5.3 of the Summary (regardless of whether such SMB Costs are incurred pursuant to this Tenant Work Letter or as a component of the Landlord's Base Building Work under Exhibit B-3 to this Lease) be less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate (the " Minimum SMB Costs "); and (ii) except to the extent included in the SMB Working Drawings (as defined in Section 1.3.4 of this Tenant Work Letter), or (to the extent that any SMB Cost Items are included in the Landlord's Base Building Work of Exhibit B-3 to this Lease) expressly designated as SMB Cost Items in the BB Construction Contract (as defined or Exhibit B-3 to this Lease), costs incurred by Landlord or Tenant to make any other alterations and improvements to the Project Site are excluded from the Minimum SMB Costs.

1.3 Site Modernization/Beautification Improvements Design and Permitting .  Promptly following the mutual execution and delivery of this Lease, Landlord will enter into one or more professional services agreements with Ferguson Pape Baldwin Architects (" SMB Architect ") and certain engineering consultants (the " SMB Engineers ") to design the Site Modernization/Beautification Improvements in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Tenant Work Letter, subject to Tenant's prior approval of the terms and conditions of such agreements (as such agreements may be modified and/or supplemented from time to time with Tenant's prior approval thereof, the " Approved SMB Design Contracts "), including, without limitation, (a) the design fees payable by Landlord to the SMB Architect and SMB Engineers pursuant thereto as SMB Costs pursuant thereto (the " Approved SMB Design Fees "), and (b) the engineering consultants to act as the SMB Engineers, as identified in the Approved Design Contracts; provided, however, Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of such agreements, the proposed design fees or the proposed engineering consultants to act as the SMB Engineers.  In recognition that Tenant's SMB Rent payment obligations are directly tied to the Approved SMB Design Fees, Landlord hereby agrees not to unilaterally (a) make or agree to any material change to any Approved SMB Design Contract, nor (b) increase the Approved SMB Design Fees as SMB Costs, without Tenant's prior approval, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Tenant Work Letter (e.g., any extension of contract time due to Tenant Delays in accordance with Section 5.3 below, or any increased design costs due to any Tenant Change Order Requests (as defined in Section 1.4 , below) modifying the Approved SMB Plans); provided, however, that Tenant shall not unreasonably delay or withhold its approval of any Landlord-requested changes to any Approved SMB Design Contract.  The plans and drawings to be prepared by SMB Architect and the SMB Engineers pursuant to the process of this Section 1.3 are sometimes referred to in this Tenant Work Letter, generically as the " SMB Plans ."

1.3.1 Basis of Design/Project Renderings .  Promptly following Landlord's engagement of the SMB Architect and SMB Engineers in accordance with this Section 1.3 , Landlord shall coordinate with the SMB Architect, Tenant's Representative and the Project Manager to develop architectural renderings for those upgraded landscaping, hardscaping and other outdoors improvements (including, but not limited to, Building exterior, patio areas and related amenities, such as trellises, pergolas and arbors, outdoor fixtures and furniture conducive for outdoor eating and employee meetings, sidewalks and pathways, sculptures, fountains and other water features), and those renovations to the existing landscaping, hardscaping, parking areas, driveways and exterior storage areas, and

 

EXHIBIT B-4

 

 

 


 

other existing outdoors improvements at the Project Site to be included in the Landlord's SMB Work (the " Final Project Site Renderings "), as a logical extension of those concept design elements listed and/or graphically depicted on Schedule 1 attached hereto (the " Basis of Design ") and in accordance with such additional information as SMB Architect and the SMB Engineers require from Tenant and Landlord to complete the Final Project Site Renderings (collectively, the " Additional Programming Information ").  Tenant shall furnish to Landlord all Additional Programming Information reasonably requested by SMB Architect that is necessary in the judgment of the SMB Architect and the SMB Engineers to complete prepare the Final Project Site Renderings as a logical extension of the Basis of Design for Tenant's approval.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the SMB Architect and SMB Engineers to work in good faith with Tenant to prepare and deliver the Project Site Renderings to Landlord and Tenant for review and approval in accordance with the schedule for design services included in the Approved SMB Design Contract between Landlord and SMB Architect (the " SMB Design Schedule ").  Following Tenant's approval of the Final Project Site Renderings, Landlord shall cause the SMB Architect and SMB Engineers to prepare schematic drawings and preliminary specifications for the Site Modernization/Beautification Improvements that conform to the Final Project Site Renderings (the " Preliminary SMB Plans ") for Tenant's approval in accordance with Section 1.3.2 below.

1.3.2 Approved SMB Plans .  During the course of development of the Preliminary SMB Plans, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord any Additional Programming Information reasonably requested by SMB Architect that is necessary, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, the SMB Architect and the SMB Engineers, to complete the SMB Plans in a form that is sufficient to enable the SMB Contractor and subcontractors to bid on the work of construction of the Landlord's SMB Work and to obtain all applicable SMB Permits.  Tenant shall cooperate in good faith to supply the SMB Architect such Additional Programming Information as is reasonably necessary to allow the SMB Architect to complete the SMB Plans as a logical extension of the Final Project Site Renderings approved by Tenant.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the SMB Architect and SMB Engineers to work in good faith with Tenant to prepare and deliver the Preliminary SMB Plans to Landlord and Tenant for review and approval in accordance with the SMB Design Schedule.  If Tenant disapproves the Preliminary SMB Plans, Tenant's notice of disapproval shall specify the reasons for such disapproval and those revisions required to obtain Tenant's approval of the Preliminary SMB Plans.  After receiving such notice of disapproval, Landlord shall cause the SMB Architect to revise the Preliminary SMB Plans, taking into account the reasons for Tenant's disapproval (provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to cause the SMB Architect to make any revision to the Preliminary SMB Plans that creates a Design Problem, as defined in Section 1.3.3 below), and to resubmit the revised Preliminary SMB Plans to Tenant for its approval.  Such revision and resubmission shall occur within five (5) business days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's notice of disapproval (if such revision is not material; otherwise the revised Preliminary SMB Plans will be resubmitted to Tenant within such longer period of time as may be reasonably necessary, but not more than ten (10) business days after such receipt by Landlord).  Such procedure shall be repeated as necessary until Tenant has approved the Preliminary SMB Plans.  Promptly following Tenant's approval of the Preliminary SMB Plans in accordance with this Section 1.3.2 , and in accordance with the SMB Design Schedule, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the SMB Architect and SMB Engineers to work in good faith with Tenant's Representative and Project Manager to complete the SMB Plans in a form that is sufficient to enable the SMB Contractor and subcontractors to bid on the work of construction of the Landlord's SMB Work and to obtain all applicable SMB Permits (as approved by Tenant in accordance with this Section 1.3.2 below, the " Final SMB Plans ").  Landlord shall cause the SMB Architect to prepare and deliver to Tenant the SMB Plans for Tenant's approval as the Final SMB Plans in accordance with the SMB Design Schedule.  Tenant shall approve or disapprove the Final SMB Plans by notice to Landlord within ten (10) business days after Tenant's Representative receives the proposed Final SMB Plans.  If Tenant timely disapproves the Final SMB Plans, Tenant's notice of disapproval shall specify the reasons for such disapproval and those revisions required to obtain Tenant's approval of the Final SMB Plans for submission to the Bidding Contractors as part of the Request for Bid Proposals prepared in accordance with Section 3.3.1 below.  After receiving such notice of disapproval, Landlord shall cause the SMB Architect to revise the Final SMB Plans, taking into account the reasons for Tenant's disapproval (provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to cause the SMB Architect to make any revision to the Final SMB Plans that causes a Design Problem).  Once the Final SMB Plans have been so revised, Landlord shall resubmit the revised Final SMB Plans to Tenant for its approval.  Such revision and resubmission shall occur within ten (10) business days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's notice of disapproval (if such revision is not material; otherwise the revised Final SMB Plans will be resubmitted to Tenant within such longer period of time as may be reasonably necessary, but not more than fifteen (15) business days after such receipt by Landlord).  Such procedure shall be repeated as necessary until Tenant has approved the Final SMB Plans for submission to the

Bidding Contractors.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to value-engineer the design of the Site Modernization/Beautification Improvements as set forth in the Final SMB Plans approved by Tenant for submission to the Bidding Contractors, in Tenant's reasonable discretion, as part of the process of negotiating the cost of construction of the Landlord's SMB Work with the Bidding Contractors, and Landlord shall cause the SMB Architect and SMB Engineers to reasonably participate in such value engineering process (with the applicable design fees payable in accordance with the Approved SMB Design Contracts).  Landlord acknowledges that Tenant's value engineering efforts may result in additional revisions to the Final SMB Plans approved by Tenant, and that such value-engineering revisions may be requested by Tenant in accordance with the SMB Design Schedule, and as long as such revisions do not cause a Design Problem, the Final SMB Plans shall be modified by the SMB Architect to incorporate such requested changes, in accordance with the process for Tenant's approval of the Final SMB Plans set forth in this Section 1.3.2 above, until the Final SMB Plans are in a form approved by Tenant for incorporation into the SMB Construction Contract as the basis of the contract sum payable to the Contractor in accordance with Section 3.1.4 below, and in the form to be submitted to governmental authorities for the SMB Permits.  The Final SMB Plans approved by Landlord and Tenant for incorporation into the SMB Construction Contract are referred to in this Tenant Work Letter as the " Approved SMB Plans ."  Except as provided in Section 1.4 below, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall make any change or modification to the Approved SMB Plans, without the prior written consent of the other party to this Lease, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  

1.3.3 Design Problems .    For the purposes of this Tenant Work Letter, a " Design Problem " means, and will be deemed to exist to the extent, that any component or components of the proposed SMB Plans (or any Tenant-proposed revisions thereto) either:  (a) represents a material deviation from the Basis of Design or the Project Site Renderings mutually-approved by Landlord and Tenant in accordance with this Tenant Work Letter, or (b) fails to, or is reasonably likely to cause any component of the Site Modernization/Beautification Improvements to fail to, comply with Applicable Laws.  Tenant shall be responsible for ensuring that all elements of the design of the Approved SMB Plans (as such drawings may be modified by any Tenant Change Orders in accordance with Section 1.4 below) are suitable for Tenant's use of the Project, and neither the preparation of the Approved SMB Plans by the SMB Architect, nor Landlord's approval of (or failure to disapprove) the Approved SMB Plans pursuant to Section 1.3.1 above, shall relieve Tenant from such responsibility.  Landlord shall cause the SMB Architect and the SMB Engineers to use the "Required Level of Care" (defined below) to cause the SMB Working Drawings to comply with Applicable Laws.  As used herein, " Required Level of Care " means the level of care that reputable architects and engineers customarily use in the San Diego market to cause drawings and specifications for a project of improvements similar to the Site Modernization/Beautification Improvements to comply with Applicable Laws.

1.3.4 Site Modernization/Beautification Improvements Permits .  Promptly following Tenant's selection of the SMB Contractor and approval of the SMB Construction Contract in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 3.1 below, Landlord shall cause the SMB Contractor to promptly submit the Approved SMB Plans to the appropriate municipal authorities in order to procure all applicable permits necessary to commence and fully complete the construction of the Site Modernization/Beautification Improvements (the "SMB Permits "), at Landlord's cost (as part of the SMB Costs); provided, however, that the Approved SMB Plans may be submitted for such SMB Permits in phases in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SMB Construction Contract (e.g., the submission of those Approved SMB Plans required for grading permits to commence grading of portions of the Common Areas may occur before the submission of Approved SMB Plans for the remaining SMB Permits).  Landlord agrees to use reasonable diligent efforts to cause the SMB Contractor to obtain such SMB Permits in accordance with the project schedule for the construction of the Landlord's SMB Work set forth in the SMB Construction Contract approved by Tenant in accordance with Section 3.1 (as the same may be modified or updated from time to time in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Tenant Work Letter or the SMB Construction Contract, the " SMB Project Schedule "), and in connection therewith Landlord shall coordinate with Tenant's Representative in order to allow Tenant, at Tenant's option, to take part in the permitting process in accordance with the SMB Project Schedule; and Landlord shall supply Tenant, as soon as possible, with all plan check numbers and dates of submittal of the Approved SMB Plans.  If the Approved SMB Plans are not approved by the applicable municipal authorities and such approval will require a change to the Approved SMB Plans, or if such authorities impose any condition on construction of the Site Modernization/Beautification Improvements, which:  (i) is materially inconsistent with the Approved SMB Plans, (ii) will materially increase the cost of the Landlord's SMB Work by increasing the Approved Design Fees or the Tenant-approved contract sum of the SMB Construction Contract, or (iii) is reasonably likely to substantially delay the Substantial Completion of the Landlord's SMB Work

 

EXHIBIT B-4

 

 

 


 

beyond December 31, 2019 (each of the foregoing, a " Material Design Change "), then Landlord and Tenant shall mutually and reasonably work together in good faith to modify the Approved SMB Plans to the extent required in order for the same to be approved by the applicable municipal authorities, and if the parties are unable to agree upon such modifications within ten (10) business days following Tenant's receipt of notice of any disapproval of the Approved SMB Plans by the applicable municipal authorities, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 6.8 of this Tenant Work Letter; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the exclusive right, in its sole discretion, to approve any Material Design Change that is materially consistent with the Approved SMB Plans (i.e. a Material Design Change that materially increases the cost of the Landlord's SMB Work or is reasonably likely to delay Substantial Completion of Landlord's SMB Work, as long as (i) such material increased costs of Landlord's SMB Work are SMB Costs, and (ii) such delay of Substantial Completion of Landlord's SMB Work (A) does not delay the SMB Rent Commencement Date beyond January 1, 2020, and (B) is not likely to be delayed beyond December 31, 2020.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to reasonably and in good faith modify the Approved SMB Plans, in consultation with the Tenant's Representative and Project Manager, but without Tenant's approval, to the extent that such modifications (a) are determined by Landlord, Tenant's Representative and Project Manager not to be a Material Design Change, (b) will not increase the Approved SMB Design Fees or the Tenant-approved contract sum of the SMB Construction Contract payable by Tenant as SMB Costs, (c) will not materially and adversely affect Tenant's planned Permitted Use of the Common Areas (as can be reasonably deduced from the Approved SMB Plans) and any Project Structures improved or modified as part of the Landlord's SMB Work, and (d) are otherwise consistent with the first class nature of the Project and do not use systems or equipment materially lower in quality (or materially more expensive) than those specified in the Approved SMB Plans.  The Approved SMB Plans as incorporated into the Tenant-approved SMB Construction Contract, and as modified to procure the SMB Permits in accordance with this Section 1.3.4 , and in accordance with any Tenant Change Orders in accordance with Section 1.4 below, any Landlord Change Directives (as defined in Section 1.5 below) and "as built" conditions of completed Landlord's SMB Work are sometimes referred to herein as the " SMB Working Drawings ."

1.4 Tenant-Requested Changes to SMB Working Drawings .  Tenant shall have the right to request changes to the Approved SMB Plans and the SMB Working Drawings from time to time, subject to Landlord's prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Tenant shall request any such modification to the Approved SMB Plans or the SMB Working Drawings by notifying Landlord in writing (a " Tenant Change Order Request "), in substantially the same form as the AIA standard change order form (AIA Form G701-2001), which Tenant Change Order Request shall detail the nature and extent of any such modification and shall be signed by Tenant's Representative.  Landlord shall, before proceeding with any such modification, use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to Tenant as soon as is reasonably possible with an estimate of:  (i) the effect that the design and construction of the modification will have on the then-current SMB Project Schedule, (ii) any additional Approved Design Fees that will be incurred to analyze and/or make such modification, and (iii) the effect of the modification on the SMB Costs.  Landlord shall submit to Tenant in writing, within five (5) business days after receipt of the Tenant Change Order Request (or such longer period of time as is reasonably required and as promptly communicated to Tenant's Representative and Project Manager, depending on the extent of the requested modification), an analysis of the additional or increased SMB Costs and/or savings involved in such Tenant Change Order Request, including, without limitation, any adjustment to the SMB Costs and the effect of such Tenant Change Order Request on the Project Schedule then in effect (the " Landlord Change Order Response ").  If Tenant accepts the terms and conditions of the Landlord Change Order Response, the Tenant Change Order Request shall be modified in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Landlord Change Order Response and Tenant shall execute the Tenant Change Order Request as so modified as a written change order for the modification of the Landlord's SMB Work (a " Tenant Change Order ") promptly following Tenant's receipt of the Landlord Change Order Response, and the SMB Costs (and the Tenant-Funded Amount) shall be adjusted accordingly.  Pending agreement as to the terms and conditions of the Tenant Change Order prior to Tenant's timely execution and delivery of the Landlord Change Order Response, Landlord shall not delay the normal progress of the Landlord's SMB Work.  Any delay in Substantial Completion of Landlord's SMB Work caused by Tenant's failure to promptly execute a Tenant Change Order in accordance with the Landlord Change Order Response approved by Tenant shall be a Tenant Delay under this Tenant Work Letter.  

1.5 Requests for Information and Change Directives .  Landlord shall require the SMB Contractor to copy Tenant's Representative and Project Manager (as defined in Section 2.2 below) on any requests for information submitted to Landlord relating to the Landlord's SMB Work (" RFI's ").  In addition, Landlord shall

(a) all subcontractors' subcontracts shall, to the extent possible, have unit pricing which shall be applicable to the pricing of any Tenant Change Order Requests.  Additionally, prior to Substantial Completion of the Site Modernization/Beautification Improvements, Tenant shall have the right to require that any subcontractor invoices and/or schedules of value that do not provide sufficient detail satisfactory to Tenant, provide additional pricing breakout for portions of their work.  Such pricing breakout materials will take the form of simple spreadsheets or letters describing in detail the nature of work and references to the SMB Working Drawings indicating the location of the work performed by such subcontractor; and

(b) Tenant shall have access to the Contractor 's books and records relating to the construction of the Site Modernization/Beautification Improvements on an "open book" basis throughout the construction thereof, and shall have the right to audit the Contractor's costs and expenses, including all invoices submitted to Landlord for the SMB Costs of the Site Modernization/Beautification Improvements at any time within the 6-month period immediately following the Substantial Completion of the Landlord's SMB Work (or Substantial Completion of such applicable phase of Landlord's SMB Work), which audit may be performed for Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

enforce the terms of the SMB Construction Contract, including without limitation any indemnity provisions, in order to cause the damage to be repaired using the proceeds of such insurance.  If the Site Modernization/Beautification Improvements are damaged by any cause not covered by insurance but would have been covered by insurance if Landlord had carried (or required the SMB Contractor to carry) the insurance required by the terms of this Tenant Work Letter, then Landlord shall cause such damage to be repaired at Landlord's sole cost and expense, and not as a SMB Cost.  Prior to the SMB Rent Commencement Date, Landlord's "Builder's All Risk" insurance is an expense included in the SMB Costs.  Landlord shall cause such "Builder's All-Risk" insurance coverage on the Site Modernization/Beautification Improvements to preclude or waive subrogation claims by the insurer against Tenant, its agents, employees and representatives, and if reasonably available any certificate evidencing such insurance coverage shall contain a provision that the company writing such policy, or its agent, will endeavor to give Tenant thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice of any cancellation or lapse of the policy or any reduction in the amounts of such insurance prior to the Substantial Completion of Site Modernization/Beautification Improvements (as defined in Section 5.2 below).

Yes   No   No, but one will be prepared and submitted to the Landlord property management company.

If so, please attach a copy of this permit or provide it later when it has been prepared.

 

7-2.

Has a Hazardous Materials Business Plan (HMBP) been developed for the site and submitted via the State of California Electronic Reporting System (CERS)? [NOTE: The trigger limits for having to do this are ≥ 200 cubic feet if any one type of compressed gas(except for carbon dioxide and inert simple asphyxiant gases, which have a higher trigger limit of  ≥ 1,000 cubic feet); ≥ 55 gallons if any one type of hazardous chemical liquid; and ≥500 pounds of any one type of hazardous chemical solid. So a full-sixe gas cylinder and a 260-liter of liquid nitrogen are triggers! Don’t forget the diesel fuel in a backup emergency generator if  the diesel tank size is ≥ 55 gallons and it is permitted under the tenant (rather than  under the landlord).] NOTE: Each local Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) in California governs the HMBP process so start there. Examples: the CUPA for cities in San Mateo County is the County Environmental Health Department; the CUPA for the City of Hayward, CA is the

 

EXHIBIT E

 

 

 


 

 

Hayward Fire Department; the CUPA for Mountain View is the Mountain View Fire Department; and, the CUPA for San Diego is the County of San Diego Hazardous Materials Division (HMD),

Yes   No, not required.   No, but one will be prepared and submitted, and a copy will be provided to the landlord property management company.

If one has been completed, please attach a copy.   Continue to provide updated versions as they are completed. This is a legal requirement in that State law requires that the owner/operator of a business located on leased or rented real property shall notify, in writing, the owner of the property that the business is subject to and is in compliance with the Hazardous Materials Business Plan requirements (Health and Safety Code Chapter 6.95 Section 25505.1).

 

7-3.

NOTE : Please be advised that if you are involved in any tenant improvements that require a construction permit, you will be asked to provide the local city with a Hazardous Materials Inventory Statement (HMIS) to ensure that your hazardous chemicals fall within the applicable Fire Code fire control area limits for the applicable construction occupancy of the particular building.  The HMIS will include much of the information listed in Section 2-2.  Neither the landlord nor the landlord’s property management company expressly warrants that the inventory provided in Section 2-2 will necessarily meet the applicable California Fire Code fire control area limits for building occupancy, especially in shared tenant occupancy situations. It is the responsibility of the tenant to ensure that a facility and site can legally handle the intended operations and hazardous materials desired/ needed for its operations, but the landlord is happy to assist in this determination when possible.

MARKET RENT ANALYSIS

When determining Market Rent, the following rules and instructions shall be followed.

1. RELEVANT FACTORS .    The "Market Rent," as used in this Lease, shall be derived from an analysis (as such derivation and analysis are set forth in this Exhibit F ) of the "Net Equivalent Lease Rates," of the "Comparable Transactions".  The " Market Rent ," as used in this Lease, shall be equal to the annual rent per rentable square foot as would be applicable on the commencement of the Option Term at which renewal tenants, are, pursuant to transactions consummated within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the first day of the Option Term (provided that timing adjustments shall be made to reflect any perceived changes which will occur in the Market Rent following the date of any particular Comparable Transaction up to the date of the commencement of the Option Term) are extending the term of its lease of non-sublease, non-encumbered, non-equity space comparable in location and quality to the Premises and consisting of transactions similar size to the Premises, for a comparable term, in an arm's-length transaction, which comparable space is located in the "Comparable Buildings," as that term is defined in Section 4 , below (transactions satisfying the foregoing criteria shall be known as the " Comparable Transactions ").  The terms of the Comparable Transactions shall be calculated as a Net Equivalent Lease Rate pursuant to the terms of this Exhibit F and shall take into consideration all terms and concessions relating to the Comparable Transactions, including, but not limited to:  (i) the rental rate and escalations for the Comparable Transactions, (ii) the amount of parking rent per parking permit paid in the Comparable Transactions, (iii) operating expense and tax escalation protection granted in such Comparable Transactions such as a base year or expense stop (although for each such Comparable Transaction the base rent shall be adjusted to a triple net base rent using reasonable estimates of operating expenses and taxes as determined by Landlord for each such Comparable Transaction); (iv) tenant improvements or allowances provided or to be provided for such comparable space, taking into account, the value of the existing improvements, if any, in the Premises and/or improvement allowances granted to Tenant, such value of existing improvements to be based upon the age, quality and layout of the improvements and the extent to which the same could be utilized by general office users (as contrasted to the Tenant), (v) rental abatement concessions, if any, being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable space, and (vi) the fact that Landlord is or is not required to pay a real estate brokerage commission in connection with the applicable term or the fact that the Comparable Transactions do or do not involve the payment of real estate brokerage commissions; provided, however, that no consideration shall be given to any period of rental abatement, if any, granted to tenants in Comparable Transactions in connection with the design, permitting and construction of tenant improvements in such comparable spaces.  The Market Rent shall include adjustment of the stated size of the Premises, based upon the standards of measurement utilized in the Comparable Transactions.

2. TENANT SECURITY .  The Market Rent shall additionally include a determination as to whether, and if so to what extent, Tenant must provide Landlord with financial security, such as a letter of credit or guaranty, for Tenant's Rent obligations during the Option Term.  Such determination shall be made by reviewing the extent of financial security then generally being imposed in Comparable Transactions from tenants of comparable financial condition and credit history to the then existing financial condition and credit history of Tenant (with appropriate adjustments to account for differences in the then-existing financial condition of Tenant and such other tenants).

3. TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE .  If, in determining the Market Rent for an Option Term, Tenant is entitled to a tenant improvement or comparable allowance for the improvement of the Premises (the " Option Term TI Allowance "), Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole option, elect to grant all or a portion of the Option Term TI Allowance in accordance with the following:  (A) to grant some or all of the Option Term TI Allowance to Tenant in the form as described above (i.e., as an improvement allowance), and/or (B) to offset against the rental rate component of the Market Rent all or a portion of the Option Term TI Allowance (in which case such portion of the Option Term TI Allowance provided in the form of a rental offset shall not be granted to Tenant).  To the extent Landlord elects not to grant the entire Option Term TI Allowance as a tenant improvement allowance, the offset under item (B), above, shall equal the amount of the tenant improvement allowance not granted to Tenant as a tenant improvement allowance pursuant to the preceding sentence.

 

EXHIBIT F

 

 

 


 

4. COMPARABLE BUILDINGS .   For purposes of this Lease, the term " Comparable Buildings " shall mean those certain other first-class laboratory and R&D buildings located in the Northern San Diego Area of San Diego, California West of Interstate 15, that are comparable in age (based on the date of original construction or the latest major renovation) location, quality of construction, services and amenities, etc.

5. METHODOLOGY FOR REVIEWING AND COMPARING THE COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS .  In order to analyze the Comparable Transactions based on the factors to be considered in calculating Market Rent and in connection with calculations under Section 2.2 of this Lease, and given that the Comparable Transactions may vary in terms of length or term, rental rate, concessions, etc., the following steps shall be taken into consideration to "adjust" the objective data from each of the Comparable Transactions.  By taking this approach, a "Net Equivalent Lease Rate" for each of the Comparable Transactions shall be determined using the following steps to adjust the Comparable Transactions, which will allow for an "apples to apples" comparison of the Comparable Transactions and Economic Terms.

5.1 The contractual rent payments for each of the Comparable Transactions should be arrayed monthly or annually over the lease term.  All Comparable Transactions and Economic Terms should be adjusted to simulate a net rent structure, wherein the tenant is responsible for the payment of all property operating expenses and taxes in a manner consistent with this Lease.  This results in the estimate of Net Equivalent Rent received by each landlord for each Comparable Transaction being expressed as a periodic net rent payment.

5.2 Any free rent or similar inducements received over time should be deducted in the time period in which they occur, resulting in the net cash flow arrayed over the lease term.

5.3 The resultant net cash flow from the lease should be then discounted (using an annual discount rate equal to 8.0%) to the lease commencement date, resulting in a net present value estimate.

5.4 From the net present value, up front inducements (improvements allowances and other concessions) should be deducted.  These items should be deducted directly, on a "dollar for dollar" basis, without discounting since they are typically incurred at lease commencement, while rent (which is discounted) is a future receipt.

5.5 The net present value should then amortized back over the lease term as a level monthly or annual net rent payment using the same annual discount rate of 8.0% used in the present value analysis.  This calculation will result in a hypothetical level or even payment over the option period, termed the "Net Equivalent Lease Rate" (or constant equivalent in general financial terms).

6. USE OF NET EQUIVALENT LEASE RATES FOR COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS .  The Net Equivalent Lease Rates for the Comparable Transactions shall then be used to reconcile, in a manner usual and customary for a real estate appraisal process, to a conclusion of Market Rent which shall be stated as a Net Equivalent Lease Rate applicable the Option Term.

NEWS RELEASE

 

NUVASIVE ANNOUNCES WORLD-CLASS INNOVATION CENTER at san diego headquarters

The Company s plans include expansion of state-of-the-art surgeon education lab, creation of a new technology innovation center and extension of work space as talent base grows  

 

SAN DIEGO, CA – August 29, 2017 – NuVasive, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUVA), a leading medical device company focused on transforming spine surgery with minimally disruptive, procedurally-integrated solutions, today announced the expansion of its San Diego global headquarters, including the creation of an innovation center of excellence where surgeons from around the world will be educated and trained on the latest NuVasive spine technology and procedures designed to drive clinical predictability and improve patients’ lives.


NuVasive, founded in 1997 as a local San Diego medical technology startup, pioneered minimally invasive, lateral spine surgery and earned its reputation as one of the most innovative spine companies in the industry. Today, the Company ranks third in the global spine market and anticipates surpassing the $1 billion revenue mark at the end of this year.

As the Company continues to grow at an accelerated rate, it plans to renovate and further build out its world headquarters starting in January 2018. The Company’s growth is reflected in several areas, including training more than 500 surgeons annually on its products and procedures at its San Diego campus, a commitment to increasing its R&D spend as a percent of revenue from 5 to 7 percent over the next several years, and creating jobs, locally and globally.  

 

NuVasive’s San Diego campus, located at 7475 Lusk Boulevard in Sorrento Valley, will increase by more than 100,000 square feet, bringing the total space to approximately 250,000 square feet. Expansion plans include renovating the current two buildings on campus and adding a third building. The newly renovated campus will include an innovation center of excellence, showcasing the Company’s state-of-the-art product and procedural offerings and highlighting its world renowned surgeon education. Additional features of the campus include:

 

 

An expanded surgeon education lab for onsite surgeon training and education;

 

A prototype design facility with 3D printing capabilities;

 

State-of-the art biomedical testing center; and

 

A new amenities building which will include an onsite café, fitness center and meeting space to accommodate up to 750 attendees.

 

 


 

"Our headquarters expansion reflects our commitment to the San Diego region where medical technology companies and the life sciences industry have significantly contributed to the growth for decades,” said Gregory T. Lucier, NuVasive’s chairman and chief e xecutive officer. “Our new facility will offer NuVasive the unique opportunity to have our design facility, lab space and product development in one location where visiting surgeons and our product development teams can collaborate closely on our newest te chnologies. With the support of Mayor Faulconer and the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, we are eager to continue our investment into the San Diego area with a facility that attracts, retains and grows the high-performing employee talent we have her e at NuVasive.”

 

NuVasive worked closely with city and state officials to re-invest in the area and continue the commitment of bringing surgeons from around the world to train at the onsite cadaver lab.

 

”It’s an exciting day for NuVasive and a proud moment for San Diego,” said San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer. “NuVasive is a homegrown company that’s supporting our innovation economy, creating jobs for San Diegans and leading the world in transformative spinal surgeries. We will continue to create an environment in San Diego where companies like NuVasive can grow and thrive.”

 

Mayor Faulconer and other state and local officials visited the San Diego campus earlier this year.

 

“San Diego’s business community applauds the expansion of the NuVasive campus,” said Jerry Sanders, San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce's president and chief executive officer. “NuVasive is a major contributor to San Diego’s vital medical technology industry and has demonstrated an admirable commitment not only to supporting our region but to totally revolutionizing spine surgery across the world. It’s a major point of pride for San Diego to be home to such leading innovators who are growing, thriving, and hiring here.”

 

While San Diego serves as the Company’s global headquarters, NuVasive remains committed to expanding its global footprint. The Company recently opened its new international headquarters in Amsterdam, and finished a new 180,000 square foot manufacturing center in West Carrollton, Ohio. NuVasive’s footprint also includes a 100,000 square foot facility in Memphis, Tennessee, which serves at the Company’s central distribution hub.
