ARTICLE 1
PREMISES, BUILDING, PROJECT, AND COMMON AREAS
1.1 Premises, Building, Project and Common Areas.
ARTICLE 2LEASE TERM
2.1 Initial Lease Term. The TCCs and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the Effective Date. The term "Lease Year" shall mean each consecutive twelve (12) calendar month period during the Lease Term; provided, however, that the first Lease Year shall commence on the Phase I Commencement Date and end on the last day of the month in which the first anniversary of the Phase I Commencement Date occurs (or if the Phase I Commencement Date is the first day of a calendar month, then the first Lease Year shall commence on the Phase I Commencement Date and end on the day immediately preceding the first anniversary of the Phase I Commencement Date), and the second and each succeeding Lease Year shall commence on the first day of the next calendar month; and further provided that the last Lease Year shall end on the Lease Expiration Date. The term "Lease Month" shall mean each succeeding calendar month during the Lease Term; provided, however, that the first Lease Month shall commence on the Phase I Commencement Date and shall end on the last day of the first (1st) full calendar month of the Lease Term (or if the Phase I Commencement Date is the first day of a calendar month, then the first Lease Month shall be that calendar month) and that the last Lease Month shall expire on the Lease
Expiration Date. At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a Notice of Lease Term Dates substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto, as a confirmation only of the information set forth therein, which Tenant shall execute and return (or provide comments with respect thereto) to Landlord within ten (10) business days of receipt thereof.
2.2 Extension Option. Tenant's Extension Option shall be as provided in accordance with the terms and conditions of Exhibit F attached hereto.
2.3 Early Termination Option. Tenant has the one-time option ("Termination Option") to terminate this Lease effective upon the last day of the sixtieth (60th) Lease Month (the "Termination Date"). In order to exercise the Termination Option, Tenant must fully and completely satisfy each of the following conditions: (i) Tenant must give Landlord written notice ("Termination Notice") at least twelve (12) months prior to the Termination Date, and (ii) at the time of Tenant's delivery of the Termination Notice, Tenant shall not have received notice of a default under this Lease that remains uncured. On or before the Termination Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a termination fee equal to $1,716,240.96 (the "Termination Fee"). Tenant's failure to deliver the Termination Fee on or before the Termination Date shall, at Landlord's sole option, render the Termination Notice and the Termination Option null and void and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. Upon Tenant's delivery of the First Offer Exercise Notice (as that term is defined in Exhibit I), the Termination Option shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect.
ARTICLE 3BASE RENT
3.1 In General. Subject to the Base Rent Abatement for each Phase of the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without prior notice or demand, base rent ("Base Rent") as set forth in Section 4 of the Summary, payable in monthly installments as set forth in Section 4 of the Summary in advance on or before the first day of each and every calendar month during the Lease Term commencing on the Phase I Commencement Date with respect to the Phase I Premises and on the Phase II Commencement Date with respect to the Phase II Premises, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever, except as otherwise set forth in this Lease. In accordance with Section 4 of the Summary, any increases in Base Rent shall occur on the first day of the applicable Lease Month. However, if the first Lease Month pertains to a period longer than one (1) calendar month, then Base Rent for such first Lease Month shall be equal to one (1) calendar month's Base Rent plus prorated Base Rent for the partial calendar month also included in such first Lease Month. The prepaid Base Rent set forth in Section 14 of the Summary shall be paid at the time of Tenant's execution and delivery of this Lease and shall be applied to the first month's Base Rent payable hereunder. If any payment of Rent is for a period which is shorter than one month, the Rent for any such fractional month shall accrue on a daily basis during such fractional month and shall total an amount equal to the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such fractional month and the denominator of which is the actual number of days occurring in such calendar month, and (ii) the then-applicable installment of Rent for the month. All payments required to be made by Tenant to Landlord hereunder (including, without limitation, Base Rent) shall be paid to Landlord or Landlord's agent, at Landlord's option, by wire transfer, Electronic Funds Transfer, at the management office of the Project or at such other place or method as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing (by notice delivered not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date such change is effective), in immediately available funds that, at the time of payment, are legal tender for private or public debts in the United States of America. If no time period for payment is specified in this Lease, Tenant shall make all required payments within thirty (30) days of Tenant's receipt of an invoice. For any Additional Rent, including Direct Expenses, Tenant may request reasonable supporting documentation from Landlord for all such Additional Rent in accordance with Section 4.6 below.
3.2 Base Rent Abatement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay (i) any Base Rent otherwise attributable to the Phase I Premises with respect to the six (6) full calendar month period commencing on the first (1st) day of the first (1st) full calendar month of the Lease Term and ending on the last day of the sixth (6th) full calendar month of the Lease Term providing a total abatement of $849,127.20, and (ii) any Base Rent otherwise attributable to the Phase II Premises with respect to the ten and five-tenths (10.5) full calendar month period commencing on the first (1st) day of the first (1st) full calendar month on or after the Phase II Commencement Date and ending on the date of the eleventh (11th) full calendar month thereafter that is the number of days in such eleventh (11th) full calendar month divided by two (2) shall be fully abated, providing a total abatement of $778,818.60 (each such period, a "Base Rent Abatement Period", and such abated amount, collectively, the "Base Rent Abatement").
ARTICLE 4ADDITIONAL RENT
4.1 In General. In addition to paying the Base Rent specified in Article 3 of this Lease, (i) with respect to the Phase I Premises, commencing on the Phase I Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Tenant's Share for the Phase I Premises of the annual Direct Expenses (as defined in Section 4.2.1 below), and (ii) with respect to the Phase II Premises, commencing on the Phase II Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Tenant's Share for the Phase II Premises of the annual Direct Expenses. Such payments by Tenant, together with any and all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the TCCs of this Lease other than Base Rent, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Additional Rent," and the Base Rent and the Additional Rent are herein collectively referred to as "Rent." All amounts due under this Article 4 as Additional Rent shall be payable for the same periods and in the same manner as the Base Rent. Without limitation on other obligations which survive the expiration of the Lease Term, the obligations of Tenant to pay, and the obligations of Landlord to reconcile and refund excess payment of, the Additional Rent provided for in this Article 4 shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term.
4.2 Definitions of Key Terms Relating to Additional Rent. As used in this Article 4, the following terms shall have the meanings hereinafter set forth:
4.3 Allocation of Direct Expenses. Certain Direct Expenses for the Project should be separately allocated to different portions or occupants of the Project (the "Cost Pools"). Such Cost Pools may include, but shall not be limited to, the office space tenants, retail space tenants, life-science/biomedical tenants, tenants sharing Laboratory Systems, tenants leasing space within a certain Project Phase, tenants leasing storage space, and tenants with exclusive use of certain other areas of the Project. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, (i) Landlord shall equitably and reasonably allocate Direct Expenses, if and to the extent such Direct Expenses are incurred exclusively for the benefit of a specific Cost Pool; and (ii) in no event shall any portion of the Direct Expenses allocated to Tenant include any Direct Expenses attributable to a Cost Pool that does not include the Premises. The Direct Expenses within each such Cost Pool shall be allocated and charged to the tenants within such Cost Pool in an equitable and reasonable manner. 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 tenants and occupants of the Building and the tenants and occupants of the other buildings in the Project to the extent such costs and expenses are otherwise includable in Direct Expenses hereunder. Accordingly, as set forth in Section 4.2 above, for any Direct Expenses that are attributable to the Project as a whole, an equitable and reasonable portion of such Project-wide Direct Expenses (as reasonably determined by Landlord on an equitable basis) shall be allocated to the tenants and occupants of the Building (as well as the tenants and
occupants of the other buildings in the Project) and only such portion allocated to the tenants and occupants of the Building shall be included in the Direct Expenses for purposes of this Lease. For avoidance of doubt, the Direct Expenses for purposes of this Lease shall include all Direct Expenses attributable solely to the Building and an equitable and reasonable portion of the Direct Expenses attributable to the Project as a whole. Any costs (including, without limitation, any taxes, assessments, and fees) that are exclusively attributable to a particular building(s) or phase(s) within the Project which does not include the Premises shall be excluded from the definition of Direct Expenses for purposes of this Lease.
4.4 Calculation and Payment of Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses. 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.
4.5 Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible.
4.6 Landlord's Records. Landlord shall maintain complete and accurate books and records of Direct Expenses in accordance with sound real estate management and accounting practices, consistently applied throughout the Lease Term. Upon Tenant's written request given not more than one hundred eighty (180) days after Tenant's receipt of a Statement for a particular Expense Year, and provided that no Event of Default is then occurring under this Lease, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with such reasonable supporting documentation as Tenant may reasonably request in connection with the calculation of Direct Expenses as set forth in such Statement or calculation of any other Additional Rent set forth in any invoice (to the extent Landlord has such supporting documentation within its reasonable control, and to the extent such supporting documentation is reasonably required to substantiate Direct Expenses or Additional Rent charged to Tenant). Landlord shall provide said documentation to Tenant within forty-five (45) days after Tenant's written request therefor. Within three hundred sixty-five (365) days after Tenant's receipt of a Statement for a particular Expense Year (the "Audit Period"), if Tenant disputes the calculation of Direct Expenses set forth in such Statement, an independent certified public accountant designated and paid for by Tenant ("Tenant's Accountant"), may after reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, audit Landlord's records with respect to the Statement, provided that (i) no Event of Default is then occurring under this Lease, and (ii) Tenant has paid all amounts required to be paid under the applicable Estimate Statement and Statement (provided that Tenant may pay such amounts under protest). Tenant's Accountant (as an individual, as distinguished from the employer) must (A) be a member of a nationally or regionally recognized certified public accounting firm which has previous experience in auditing financial operating records of landlords of comparable projects, (B) not already be providing accounting and/or lease administration services to Tenant or Landlord and shall not have provided accounting and/or lease administration services to Tenant or Landlord in the past three (3) years, (C) not be retained on a contingency fee basis (i.e., Tenant must be billed based on the actual time and materials that are incurred by Tenant's Accountant in the performance of the audit), and (D) to Tenant's actual knowledge, not currently or within the previous twenty-four (24) month period be providing accounting and/or lease administration services to another tenant in the Project in connection with a review or audit by such other tenant of Direct Expenses at the Project. In connection with such audit, Tenant and Tenant's Accountant 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 Accountant shall be delivered to Landlord promptly after Tenant's receipt of such audit report. Tenant's failure to audit the 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. Unless Landlord in good faith disputes the results of such audit, if such audit reflects that Tenant has overpaid Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses for the period in question, then Landlord shall credit such excess to Tenant's next payment of Rent (or shall refund such amount if the Lease has expired or terminated within thirty (30) days after the audit report prepared by Tenant's Accountant has been delivered to Landlord), and if such audit reflects that Tenant has underpaid Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses, Tenant shall promptly pay such additional Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of the audit report prepared by Tenant's Accountant. If such audit by Tenant's Accountant proves that the Direct Expenses in the subject Expense Year were overstated by more than five percent (5%), and Landlord has elected not to require an audit by a Neutral Accountant (as defined below), then the cost of Tenant's Accountant shall be paid for by Landlord unless Landlord in good faith disputes the results of such audit. If after such audit, Landlord in good faith disputes the results of the audit report prepared by Tenant's Accountant, an audit to determine the proper amount shall be made by an independent certified public accountant (the "Neutral Accountant") mutually selected by Landlord and Tenant, and Landlord and Tenant shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of the cost of the Neutral Accountant; provided that if such audit by the Neutral Accountant proves that the Direct Expenses in the subject Expense Year were overstated by more than five percent (5%), then one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of the Neutral Accountant and 100% of the out-of-pocket cost of Tenant's Accountant shall be promptly paid for by Landlord. If such audit by the Neutral Accountant reflects that Tenant has overpaid Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses for the period in question, then Landlord shall credit such excess to Tenant's next payment of Rent (or shall refund such amount if the Lease has expired or terminated within thirty (30) days after the determination by the Neutral Accountant has been made) and if such audit by the Neutral Accountant reflects that Tenant has underpaid Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses, Tenant shall promptly pay such additional Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of the audit report prepared by the Neutral Accountant. Tenant's sole right to audit Landlord's records and to contest the amount of Direct Expenses with respect to any Expense Year shall be as expressly set forth in this Section 4.6. Tenant's audit rights expressly include the right to review and verify Landlord's calculation methodology and allocations related to Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses, including Landlord's allocation of costs applicable to the Building, Phase and/or Project, and cost pool allocations.
ARTICLE 5USE OF PREMISES
5.1 Permitted Use. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the Permitted Use set forth in Section 7 of the Summary and Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises or the Project to be used for any other purpose or purposes whatsoever without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. Tenant shall comply with, the reasonable rules and regulations for the Project promulgated by Landlord from time to time ("Rules and Regulations"), the current set of which (as of the Effective Date) is attached to this Lease as Exhibit D; provided, no such other rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord after the Effective Date shall adversely affect Tenant's use of, or access to and from, the Premises, or materially increase any of Tenant's obligations, or materially decrease any of Tenant's rights, under this Lease. Landlord shall promulgate and enforce its Rules and Regulations in a reasonable and non-discriminatory manner and make good faith efforts to uniformly enforce its Rules and Regulations against tenants of the Project. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Rules and Regulations and the remainder of the Lease, the express terms of the Lease shall control.

Other than the Existing Underlying Documents, Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that any Underlying Documents existing as of the Effective Date do not affect Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises or rights under this Lease. Landlord reserves the right to further subdivide all or a portion of the Project. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall any future Underlying Documents (a) materially or adversely affect Tenant's rights under this Lease, (b) adversely affect Tenant's use of or access to the Premises for the Permitted Use, or adversely affect Tenant’s use of or access to the Parking Facility or Common Areas, or (c) materially increase Tenant's obligations under this Lease (i.e., other than in a de minimis manner).
5.5 Service Animals.

Tenant shall be responsible for any additional janitorial or cleaning costs and all other costs which may arise from the Service Animals' presence in the Project and/or the Building in excess of the costs that would have been incurred had Service Animals not been allowed in or around the Project and/or the Building.
ARTICLE 6SERVICES AND UTILITIES
6.1 Services. Subject to all Applicable Laws, Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, shall each provide the following applicable services during the Lease Term in a first-class manner substantially consistent with that of Comparable Life Sciences Projects. The Building Systems have been constructed by Landlord in accordance with the specifications attached hereto as Schedule 3 to the Work Letter (the "Base Building Specifications"). Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Building Systems to perform in accordance with the Base Building Specifications. Landlord makes no representation and warranty regarding the performance of the Base Building Specifications, availability or quantity of utility service or the suitability of the same for the Permitted Use.
6.2 Office and Communications Services. Certain office and communications services (which may include, without limitation, cable or satellite television service) may be offered to tenants of the Building or Project by a concessionaire under contract to Landlord ("Provider").

Tenant acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Landlord has made no warranty or representation to Tenant with respect to the availability of any such services, or the quality, reliability or suitability thereof; (ii) the Provider is not acting as the agent or representative of Landlord in the provision of such services, and Landlord shall have no liability or responsibility for any failure or inadequacy of such services, or any equipment or facilities used in the furnishing thereof, or any act or omission of Provider, or its agents, employees, representatives, officers or contractors; (iii) Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for the installation, alteration, repair, maintenance, furnishing, operation, adjustment or removal of any such services, equipment or facilities; and (iv) any contract or other agreement between Tenant and Provider shall be independent of this Lease, the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and the rights of Landlord hereunder, and, without limiting the foregoing, no default or failure of Provider with respect to any such services, equipment or facilities, or under any contract or agreement relating thereto, shall have any effect on this Lease or give to Tenant any offset or defense to the full and timely performance of its obligations hereunder, or entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent, or constitute any accrual or constructive eviction of Tenant, or otherwise give rise to any other claim of any nature against Landlord except as otherwise provided in this Lease. Tenant shall not be permitted to contract with any provider of any office or communications services other than a Provider without Landlord's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (and subject further to such provider entering into an agreement with Landlord governing such provider's rights, obligations, and liabilities with respect to accessing and otherwise providing services at the Project, which agreement shall be on commercially reasonable terms consistent with those required in Comparable Buildings, and shall not unreasonably restrict or delay such provider’s ability to provide services to Tenant).
6.3 Overstandard Tenant Use. Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, use heat-generating machines or equipment ("Heat Generating Equipment"), which adversely affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the HVAC or increase the water normally furnished for the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1 of this Lease, other than (i) office machines or equipment; (ii) and Tenant's equipment, including laboratory, research and development, and life science equipment, to the extent such equipment is consistent with the Permitted Use; and (iii) servers, data equipment, and other equipment reasonably necessary for Tenant's business operations for the Permitted Use, including all such equipment used in Tenant’s dedicated server/IT room (collectively, “Permitted Equipment”).

the right to reasonably require installation of supplementary air conditioning units or other facilities in the Premises, including supplementary or additional metering devices to the extent reasonably necessary, and the reasonable actual cost thereof, including the cost of installation, operation and maintenance, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not impose any charge, surcharge, or excess utility cost on Tenant for utility consumption attributable to Permitted Equipment.
6.4 Interruption of Use. Landlord shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service (including telephone and telecommunication services), or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof (including, without limitation, where any such failure, delay or diminution is occasioned, in whole or in part, by breakage, repairs, replacements, or improvements, by any strike, lockout or other labor trouble, by inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Building or Project after reasonable effort to do so, by any riot or other dangerous condition, emergency, accident or casualty whatsoever, by act or default of Tenant or other parties); and such failures, delays or diminution shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Lease, including Section 6.5 and Article 10 below.
6.5 Abatement Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if all or a material portion of the Premises is made untenantable or inaccessible as a result of (i) the acts or omissions of Landlord or any of the Landlord Parties, including without limitation any breach of this Lease by Landlord, (ii) any Modifications, or any repair, maintenance or alteration performed by Landlord or which Landlord failed to perform which is required by the Lease, (iii) any failure to provide any services or utilities as required of Landlord under Section 6.1 above or perform any of Landlord's Repair Obligations required under Article 7 below, or (iv) the presence of Hazardous Materials in, on or around the Premises or the Project which were not caused or introduced by Tenant which Hazardous Materials pose a material and significant health risk to occupants of the Premises, and, in each instance (each an "Abatement Event") is not the result of the acts and/or omissions of Tenant and/or other Tenant Parties (as defined herein), then in order to be entitled to receive the benefits of this Section 6.5, Tenant must give Landlord notice (the "Abatement Notice"), specifying such Abatement Event. If Landlord has not cured such Abatement Event within three (3) business days after the receipt of the Abatement Notice (the "Eligibility Period") and is not otherwise excused from such performance by this Lease, then Tenant may immediately abate Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses payable under this Lease for that portion of the Premises rendered untenantable or inaccessible and not actually used by Tenant, for the period beginning on the date immediately following such the Eligibility Period to the earlier of the date Landlord cures such Abatement Event or the date Tenant recommences the use of such portion of the Premises.

In the event that the Premises has an "open ceiling plan", then Landlord shall have the right to install, maintain, repair and replace mechanical, electrical and plumbing fixtures, devices, piping, ductwork and all other improvements through the floor above the Premises (which may penetrate through the ceiling of the Premises and be visible within the Premises during the course of construction and upon completion thereof); provided that (i) such work is performed in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with Comparable Buildings, (ii) such installations do not unreasonably interfere with or adversely affect Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises, the services or facilities provided thereto, or Tenant’s systems or equipment, and do not adversely affect the operation of Tenant’s laboratory equipment, HVAC systems or other systems serving the Premises, (iii) Landlord shall not diminish the usable or rentable area of the Premises or Tenant’s rights therein, (iv) Landlord shall provide Tenant with at least ten (10) business days prior notice (except in emergencies), and (v) Landlord shall promptly repair all damage caused and restore the Premises, equipment, furniture, and fixtures to a neat and safe condition consistent with other open ceilings in Comparable Buildings (the parties acknowledging that Landlord will not be able to restore the Premises to the condition existing immediately prior to such work). Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant's use of, and operations in, the Premises in connection with Landlord's exercise of its rights pursuant to this Section 7.2. Notwithstanding Tenant's occupancy of the Premises during the performance of any of Landlord's Repair Obligations, provided Landlord has used commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant's use of, or access to, the Premises and Parking Facilities, the performance of Landlord's Repair Obligations shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent except as set forth in this Lease including Section 6.5 above. Tenant shall promptly and diligently cooperate with Landlord and any of the third parties performing Landlord's Repair Obligations in the Premises in order to reasonably facilitate the performance of such work in an efficient and timely manner provided the same shall not materially interfere with Tenant's use of, or access to, the Premises and Parking Facilities. Landlord's entry into the Premises to perform any repairs or maintenance hereunder shall be subject to Article 27 below. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights under and benefits of subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code or under any similar law, statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
7.3 Tenant's Right to Make Repairs. Notwithstanding any terms set forth in this Lease to the contrary, if there is an "Emergency Repair Event" (defined below), and Landlord has not promptly responded and commenced Landlord's Repair Obligations relating to the Building Systems, Building Structure, or other repairs Landlord is required to perform pursuant to this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to take the required action without notice to Landlord. Other than with respect to Emergency Repair Events as set forth above, if Tenant provides Notice to Landlord of an event or circumstance which requires pursuant to the Lease the action of Landlord with respect to repair and/or maintenance required in the Building, but only to the extent such event or circumstance materially or adversely affects the conduct of Tenant's business from the Premises, 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 ten (10) days after receipt of such Notice, then Tenant may proceed to take the required action upon delivery of an additional two (2) business days' Notice to Landlord specifying that Tenant is taking such required action. 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) day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion or was undertaken by Tenant due to an Emergency Repair Event, then Tenant shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement by Landlord of Tenant's reasonable costs and expenses in taking such action. If Tenant undertakes any repairs under this Section 7.3, Tenant shall (i) proceed in accordance with all Applicable Laws; (ii) retain only reputable, experienced contractors and suppliers duly licensed in the city in which the Building is located, and, if Landlord has furnished Tenant a reasonable list of approved contractors, such contractors shall be considered if they are available for work and charge market fees, (iii) provide evidence to Landlord that all contractors and suppliers performing the repairs necessitated by an Emergency Repair Event are insured in accordance with Article 10 of this Lease; (iv) perform such repairs in a good and workmanlike, commercially reasonable manner and shall not knowingly invalidate any existing warranties for the Building to the extent Tenant has received prior written notice of such warranties; (v) use new or like new materials; (vi) take reasonable efforts to minimize interference or impact on other tenants and occupants of the Project; and (vii) comply with applicable requirements set forth in Article 8 of this Lease. Following completion of any work by Tenant pursuant to this Section 7.3, Tenant shall deliver a detailed invoice of work completed, materials used, and related costs. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such invoiced amount within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's invoice. If Landlord reasonably disputes such repairs were required or contends that such charges are excessive, Landlord must deliver written notice of such objections, setting forth with particularity its reasons, within five (5) business days after receipt of Tenant's additional two (2) business day Notice described above (prior to commencement of work). If Landlord timely delivers such objection, Tenant may still proceed to make repairs, without waiver of its rights, and may thereafter assert a claim of default against Landlord for reimbursement, but Tenant shall not then be entitled to offset any disputed amount against the Rent next due hereunder. If Tenant prevails in any action related to such default, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the disputed amount plus interest at the Interest Rate accruing from the date of expenditure until payment, together with Tenant's attorneys'
fees and related costs. If Landlord fails to timely pay any undisputed amount due under this Section 7.3, Tenant may offset such amount (plus interest at the Interest Rate) against Rent next due hereunder. For purposes of this Section 7.3, an "Emergency Repair Event" shall mean an event threatening material danger to persons located in the Premises, material damage to the Premises, the Improvements, Alterations, Tenant's Property or Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment, or creating a realistic possibility of material interference with or interruption of Tenant's business operations.
ARTICLE 8ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS
8.1 Landlord's Consent to Alterations. Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises or any other portion of the Project, or install any Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment (collectively, the "Alterations") without the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than fifteen (15) business days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord, provided it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any Alteration which constitutes a Design Problem (without limitation as to any other reasonable grounds for Landlord to withhold its consent to any particular Alterations). A "Design Problem" is defined as, and will be deemed to exist if such Alterations will (i) adversely affect the exterior appearance of the Building; (ii) affect the Building Structure or adversely affect the Building Systems; (iii) fail to comply with Applicable Laws or applicable building codes ("Code") or would cause any other portion of the Project to fail to comply with Applicable Laws or Code, (iv) vitiate or otherwise negatively affect any warranty, guaranty, or insurance maintained by Landlord, (v) materially increase Landlord's Repair Obligations, (vi) materially and unreasonably interfere with any other tenant or occupant of the Project in a manner not customary for comparable alterations in Comparable Buildings, (vii) affect the certificate of occupancy or its legal equivalent for the Project or any portion thereof, (viii) impact any portion of the Project outside of the interior of the Premises (which shall include, without limitation, any Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment). If Landlord disapproves of any proposed Alterations, Landlord shall respond, in writing, stating the grounds for such disapproval, within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of Tenant's request for approval of the proposed Alterations. If Landlord fails to respond with its approval or disapproval within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of Tenant's request, then Tenant may send Landlord a reminder notice setting forth such failure containing the following sentence at the top of such notice in bold, capitalized font at least twelve (12) points in size: "LANDLORD'S FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS NOTICE WITHIN FIVE (5) DAYS SHALL RESULT IN LANDLORD'S DEEMED APPROVAL OF TENANT'S ALTERATIONS" (the "Reminder Notice"). If Landlord fails to respond within five (5) days after receipt of a Reminder Notice, then Tenant's Alterations for which Tenant requested Landlord's approval shall be deemed approved by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to make Alterations without Landlord's consent, to the extent that such Alterations do not (a) constitute a Design Problem, (b) require a building or construction permit, or (c) cost more than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) for a particular job of work (the "Cosmetic Alterations"). The construction of the initial Improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8 (provided, however, such initial Improvements shall be deemed to constitute Alterations for purposes of Section 8.5 and Section 15.2 below).
8.2 Manner of Construction. Landlord may impose, as a condition to Tenant's right to perform any Alterations, such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, (i) the requirement that Tenant utilize for such purposes only contractors reasonably approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) that Tenant enter into a construction contract that includes Landlord's commercially reasonable then-standard construction rider (or such other commercially reasonable construction rider as Landlord may reasonably require), which rider shall include, among other things, Landlord's insurance and indemnity requirements and (iii) any Cabling (including riser cables) installed by Tenant shall be (x) appropriately insulated to prevent excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation, (y) surrounded by a protective conduit reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (z) identified in accordance with Landlord's Building standard requirements. If Landlord fails to respond with its approval or disapproval of Tenant's contractors within five (5) days, then Tenant's contractor for which Tenant requested Landlord's approval shall be deemed approved by Landlord. Tenant shall be solely responsible for acquiring any required permit for all Alterations, furnishing of a copy of such permit and approvals to Landlord prior to the commencement of the work, and complying with all conditions of said permit. If such Alterations will involve the use of or disturb Hazardous Materials, Tenant shall notify Landlord prior to performing such Alterations (if Tenant is aware that its work will be disturbing Hazardous Materials) and comply with Landlord's reasonable rules and regulations concerning such Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall construct all Alterations in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformance with any and all Applicable Laws and Landlord's reasonable construction rules and regulations; provided, however, that prior to commencing to construct any Alteration, Tenant shall meet with Landlord to discuss Landlord's design parameters and Code compliance issues. In performing the work of any such Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner so as not to materially obstruct access to the Project or any portion thereof, by any other tenant of
the Project, and so as not to materially obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in the Project (other than typical obstruction reasonably associated with the performance of the Alterations). Tenant shall not use (and upon notice from Landlord shall cease using or shall cooperate with Landlord in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to establish protocols to attempt to reestablish and maintain labor harmony) contractors, services, workmen, labor, materials or equipment that, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, would disturb labor harmony with the workforce or trades engaged in performing other work, labor or services in or about the Project. In addition to Tenant's obligations under Article 9 of this Lease, upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the county in which the Project is located in accordance with Section 8182 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute. Tenant shall, promptly following the completion of any Alterations, to the extent applicable, compile and deliver to Landlord a "close-out package" in such format reasonably designated by Landlord (e.g., paper and/or electronic files) containing, without limitation, the following items (to the extent deemed reasonably necessary by Landlord for the particular Alterations) to the extent applicable: (a) as-built drawings and final record CAD drawings, (b) copies of warranties and guarantees from all contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers, (c) copies of all permits, approvals and other documents issued by any governmental agency in connection with the Alterations, (d) an independent air balance report (but only if such Alterations affect the HVAC system), and (e) lien releases customarily obtained in connection with such Alterations, including from the general contractor and, to the extent customary, from subcontractors or suppliers with whom Tenant has a direct contract and with lien rights against the Project.
8.3 Payment for Alterations. Tenant is responsible for all of the costs Tenant incurs in performing any Alterations. In addition, in connection with all Alterations, other than Cosmetic Alterations, Tenant shall pay Landlord an oversight fee, which shall be equal to three percent (3%) of the hard cost of the Alterations for any work managed by Landlord and otherwise one percent (1%) of the hard cost of the Alterations for Tenant-managed/build jobs. Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for Landlord's reasonable, out-of-pocket, third-party costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with Landlord's review of such Alterations (including, but not limited to, fees paid to consultants retained by Landlord to review plans and specifications for such Alterations).
8.4 Construction Insurance. In addition to the requirements of Article 10 of this Lease, in the event that Tenant makes any Alterations, prior to the commencement of such Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant (or Tenant's contractor) carries "Builder's Risk" insurance in an amount reasonably approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require provided that such insurance is commercially reasonable and consistent with that required for similar alterations in Comparable Buildings, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof.
8.5 Ownership and Removal. All Alterations (excluding Tenant's Property and Tenant's Off-Premises Property) shall, upon completion of construction, become part of the Premises and the property of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, remove all Removal Items (defined below) upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease in accordance with the TCCs of Section 15.2 below. "Removal Items" shall mean: (a) all Mandatory Removal Items (except to the extent otherwise designated by Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, by written notice to Tenant at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the end of the Lease Term, or following any earlier termination of this Lease), and (b) any other Alterations that constitute Specialty Improvements (defined below) that Landlord, by written notice to Tenant concurrently with Landlord's approval of such Alterations, requires Tenant, at Tenant's expense, to remove. "Mandatory Removal Items" shall mean: (i) any Alterations located outside of the Premises (including, without limitation, Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment), (ii) all Cabling, (iii) any other items, improvements or fixtures which Tenant is expressly required to remove pursuant to the terms of this Lease, (iv) any Alterations or signage incorporating Tenant's name or logo, and (v) any Alterations Tenant installed without Landlord's consent in violation of the TCC's of this Article 8 (or the Work Letter, as applicable). "Specialty Improvements" shall mean: (a) safes and vaults, (b) decorative water features; (c) specialized wallcoverings and ceilings, and flooring, including raised flooring; (d) conveyors and dumbwaiters; (e) any Alterations which (1) perforate a floor slab in the Premises or a wall that encloses/encapsulates the Building Structure, (2) involve material plumbing connections (such as kitchens and executive bathrooms outside of the Building core), or (3) require changes to the Base Building; and (f) supplemental HVAC equipment within the Premises and non-Building standard fire suppression systems; provided, however, that Specialty Improvements shall not include any improvements or installations typically used in connection with the Permitted Use. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall Tenant be required to remove the Improvements, or any Cosmetic Alterations.
ARTICLE 9COVENANT AGAINST LIENS
ARTICLE 10INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
10.1 Indemnification and Waiver. Because Tenant is required to insure Tenant's Insured Property and because of the requirements to provide waivers of subrogation, Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to Tenant's Insured Property subject to the provisions of the waiver of subrogation set forth below. Tenant also hereby assumes risk of injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord Parties. Landlord, its partners, subpartners and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors (collectively, "Landlord Parties") shall not be liable for, and are hereby released from any responsibility for, any damage either to person or property or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant, except to the extent of damage to Landlord's Insured Property, subject to the waiver of subrogation, and except for injury to persons to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord Parties. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from and against any and all claims, losses, costs, damages, expenses, causes of action, proceedings and liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) (collectively, "Losses") to the extent incurred in connection with or arising from: (i) any causes in the Premises during the Lease Term; (ii) any activity, work, or thing done, or permitted or suffered by Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant, its Transferees, or the contractors, agents, employees, invitees, or visitors of Tenant or its Transferees or any such person, in, on or about the Project (collectively, "Tenant Parties"); (iii) any breach by Tenant of any term, covenant, or provision of Applicable Laws; or (iv) the placement of any of Tenant's Property or any of Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord or any Landlord Parties are found to be wholly or partially negligent or to have acted with willful misconduct relating to any of Tenant's foregoing indemnification obligations, Landlord shall be responsible for paying all or a portion of the applicable damage award, including reasonable attorneys' fees, such portion to be determined based on the extent to which the damage was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Parties. Should Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against Tenant in connection with or arising out of Tenant's occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including without limitation, its actual reasonable professional fees such as appraisers', accountants' and attorneys' fees. Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant and the Tenant Parties from and against any and all Losses arising in the Base Building and Common Areas from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant or any Tenant Parties are found to be wholly or partially negligent or to have acted with willful misconduct relating to any of Landlord’s foregoing indemnification obligations, Tenant shall be responsible for paying all or a portion of the applicable damage award, including reasonable attorneys' fees, such portion to be determined based on the extent to which the damage was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Parties. Should Tenant be named as a defendant in any suit brought against Landlord in connection with or arising out of Landlord’s ownership, operation, management, maintenance or repair of the Building or Project, Landlord shall pay to Tenant its reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including without limitation, its actual reasonable professional fees such as appraisers', accountants' and attorneys' fees. Further, Tenant's or Landlord’s agreement to indemnify the other pursuant to this Section 10.1 is not intended and shall not relieve any
insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried by such party pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, to the extent such policies cover the matters subject to such party’s indemnification obligations; nor shall they supersede any inconsistent agreement of the parties set forth in any other provision of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any Losses arising in connection with any event occurring prior to such expiration or termination.
10.2 Landlord's Insurance. Landlord shall maintain insurance against loss or damage with respect to the portions of the Project constituting Landlord's Repair Obligations (collectively, "Landlord's Insured Property") on a Special Form or equivalent type insurance form, with customary exceptions, subject to such commercially reasonable deductibles and commercially reasonable self-insured retentions (consistent with the practices of landlords of Comparable Buildings) as Landlord may reasonably determine, in an amount equal to at least the replacement value of Landlord's Insured Property. Such insurance shall be maintained with an insurance company selected by Landlord which meets the requirements of Section 10.4 below. Payment for losses thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord. Landlord may maintain such additional insurance with respect to the Project, including, without limitation, earthquake insurance, terrorism insurance, flood insurance, liability insurance and/or rent insurance, as Landlord may in its reasonable discretion elect. Landlord may also maintain such other insurance as may from time to time be required by a Mortgagee (as defined in Article 18 below). Any or all of Landlord's insurance may be provided by blanket coverage maintained by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord under its insurance program for its portfolio of properties. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, comply with Landlord's insurance company reasonable requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises. If Tenant's conduct or use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies above the premium that would otherwise by payable for the Permitted Use, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar body. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2, the coverage, deductibles, types and amounts of insurance carried by Landlord in connection with the Project shall be materially comparable to the coverage, deductibles, types and amounts of insurance which are carried by landlords of Comparable Life Sciences Projects.
10.3 Tenant's Insurance. By the earlier of (i) the date on which Tenant enters the applicable Phase of the Premises pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Work Letter, or (ii) the applicable Phase Commencement Date for such Phase of the Premises (such earlier date, with respect to each Phase of the Premises, is the "Insurance Commencement Date"), and thereafter throughout and until the end of the Lease Term, and after the end of the Lease Term but only so long as Tenant or anyone acting by, through or under Tenant remains in occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall maintain the following insurance coverages in at least the amounts set forth below; provided, however, Landlord makes no representation that the limits or forms of coverage specified herein are adequate to cover Tenant's property, business operations or obligations under this Lease. The required evidence of coverage must be delivered to Landlord on or before the dates required under Section 10.4 below. Such policies shall be for a term of at least one (1) year, or the length of the remaining term of this Lease, whichever is less.
10.4 Form of Policies. The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease. Such insurance shall (i) be issued by an insurance company having an AM Best rating of not less than A‑VII (or to the extent AM Best ratings are no longer available, then a similar rating from another comparable rating agency), or which is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord and licensed to do business in the State of California, (ii) in form and content reasonably acceptable to Landlord and complying with the requirements of Section 10.3, (iii) Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which invalidates the required insurance policies, and (iv) Tenant shall endeavor to provide that said insurance shall not be canceled or coverage changed unless thirty (30) days' prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord and any Mortgagee, the identity of whom has been provided to Tenant in writing. Tenant shall deliver certificates thereof and applicable endorsements which meet the requirements of this Article 10 to Landlord on or before the applicable Insurance Commencement Date for such Phase of the Premises, and five (5) business days after the renewal of such policies. In the event Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such certificates and applicable endorsements, Landlord may, at its option, after written notice to Tenant and Tenant's failure to obtain such insurance within five (5) business days thereafter, procure such policies for the account of Tenant and the reasonable, out-of-pocket cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord within thirty (30) days of delivery to Tenant of bills therefor.
10.5 Property Insurance Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant intend that their respective property loss risks shall be borne by their respective insurance carriers, and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to look solely to, and seek recovery only from, their respective insurance carriers in the event of a property loss to the extent that such coverage is agreed to be provided hereunder. The parties each hereby waive all rights and claims against each other for such losses and waive all rights of subrogation of their respective insurers. Landlord and Tenant agree that their respective property insurance policies shall include a waiver of (i) subrogation by the insurers, and (ii) all rights based upon an assignment from its insured, against Landlord and/or any of the Landlord Parties or Tenant and/or any of the Tenant Parties (as the case may be) in connection with any property loss risk thereby insured against. Tenant will cause all subtenants and licensees of the Premises claiming by, under, or through Tenant to execute and deliver to Landlord a waiver of claims similar to the waiver in this Section 10.5 and to obtain such waiver of subrogation rights endorsements, provided Landlord hereby agrees that such waivers of subrogation shall run in favor of both Landlord and such subtenant or licensee. If either party hereto fails to maintain the waivers set forth in items (i) and (ii) above, the party not maintaining the requisite waivers shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the other party for, from and against any and all Losses arising out of, resulting from, or relating to, such failure.
10.6 Additional Insurance Obligations. Tenant shall carry and maintain during the entire Lease Term, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, increased amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article 10 and such other reasonable types of insurance coverage and in such reasonable amounts covering the Premises and Tenant's operations therein, as may be reasonably requested by Landlord; provided (i) Landlord may not require Tenant to expand or increase coverage more than one (1) time in any five (5)-year period (if any) thereafter, (ii) any modification shall take effect at the time of policy renewal, (iii) such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates, and (iv) the increased amounts and types of insurance shall not exceed the amounts and types of insurance then being required by prudent, institutional landlords of other Comparable Buildings.
10.7 Third-Party Contractors. Tenant shall obtain and deliver to Landlord, certificates of insurance and applicable endorsements on or prior to the commencement of work in or about the Premises by any vendor or other third-party contractor retained or engaged by Tenant (collectively, a "Third Party Contractor"). All such insurance shall (i) name the Additional Insureds as additional insureds under such third party's liability policies, (ii) provide a waiver of subrogation in favor of Landlord under such third party's commercial general liability insurance, (iii) be primary and any insurance carried by Landlord shall be excess and non-contributing, and (iv) comply with Landlord's reasonable minimum insurance requirements (which may vary depending on the type of work or vendor taking place in the Premises).
ARTICLE 11DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
11.1 Repair of Damage from Casualty. If the Project (or any portion thereof) shall be damaged by a fire or any other casualty (collectively, a "Casualty"), (i) Landlord shall promptly and diligently restore Landlord's Insured Property to substantially the same condition as existing prior to the Casualty, except for modifications required by Applicable Laws or the Underlying Documents, and (ii) except as set forth below, Tenant shall promptly and diligently restore Tenant's Insured Property to substantially the same condition as existing prior to the Casualty, except for modifications required by Applicable Laws or the Underlying Documents, or any other modifications deemed desirable by Tenant and approved by Landlord pursuant to Article 8, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right, upon notice (the "Landlord Repair Notice") to Tenant from Landlord within sixty (60) days following the date the Casualty becomes known to Landlord, to promptly and diligently restore the Original Improvements, Improvements and Alterations, provided such restoration and work shall be competitively bid by Landlord, and, in such event 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 10.3.2 of this Lease for the Original Improvements, Improvements and Alterations; provided that if the cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant's insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, Tenant shall have the option to reduce the scope of Landlord's work so the insurance proceeds will be sufficient or the cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord's commencement of repair of the damage. All work performed by Tenant pursuant to this Section 11.1 shall be performed in accordance with Article 8 of this Lease. Landlord's obligation to restore Landlord's Insured Property pursuant to this Section 11.1 is subject to actual delays arising from the time needed for Tenant to obtain any license, clearance or other authorization of any kind required for Landlord to enter into and restore the Premises issued by any governmental authority to the extent necessary as a result of the use of Hazardous Materials in, on or about the Premises (collectively referred to herein as "Hazardous Materials Clearances"). Tenant shall use diligent good faith efforts to obtain any and all Hazardous Materials Clearances. Within sixty (60) days after the date of the damage, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant an estimate prepared by a qualified, independent, experienced and reputable architect and/or general contractor of the date of completion of the repairs ("Landlord's Repair Estimate Notice"). Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Article 11, the parties hereby agree that the closure of the Project, the Building, the Common Areas, or any part thereof solely to protect public health and which has not arisen from a fire or other casualty shall not constitute a Casualty for purposes of this Lease.
11.2 Casualty Rent Abatement. If (i) the Premises (or portions thereof), or portions of the Common Area necessary for the conduct of Tenant's business are damaged by Casualty, and (ii) such Casualty causes all or a material portion of the Premises to be untenantable or unusable by Tenant and Tenant actually ceases to use all or such material portion of the Premises, (items (i) and (ii) are, collectively, "Casualty Conditions"), Tenant may, upon written notice to Landlord, immediately abate Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses payable under this Lease for that portion of the Premises rendered untenantable or unusable and not actually used by Tenant due to the Casualty, for the period beginning on the date of the Casualty through (a) if Landlord delivered the Landlord Repair Notice, the date Landlord substantially completes restoration of the Original Improvements, Improvements and Alterations, and Tenant substantially completes restoration of Tenant's Insured Property (to the extent not performed by Landlord) or would have completed restoration of Tenant's Insured Property if Tenant had used reasonable diligence, such that the Premises is tenantable for the Permitted Use (or such earlier date following the Casualty that Tenant conducts business from the Premises, to the extent that Tenant conducts business from
the Premises), or (b) if Landlord did not deliver the Landlord Repair Notice, the earlier of the date that Tenant substantially completes restoration of Tenant's Insured Property such that the Premises are tenantable for the Permitted Use or the date that Tenant would have substantially completed restoration of Tenant's Insured Property if Tenant had used reasonable diligence (or such earlier date following the Casualty that Tenant conducts business from the Premises, to the extent that Tenant conducts business from the Premises). Except as otherwise provided in this Lease including the foregoing Rent abatement, 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 a Casualty.
11.3 Casualty Termination Rights.
11.4 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.
ARTICLE 12NONWAIVER
ARTICLE 13CONDEMNATION
ARTICLE 14ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1 Transfers. Except for an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of all or a portion of the Premises (each of the foregoing, together with any modifications or amendments to any existing assignments or subleases being referred to herein as a "Transfer" and any person or entity to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is referred to herein as a "Transferee") or except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall not mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any other transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law 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, agents and contractors. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall not Transfer this Lease or its interest in any portion of the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 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 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) calculation of the Transfer Premium, as defined in Section
14.3 below, in connection with such Transfer (and reasonably detailed backup with respect to such calculation of such Transfer Premium), the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, provided that Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to utilize Landlord's commercially reasonable form of consent to Transfer documents in connection with the documentation of Landlord's consent to such Transfer, subject to such reasonable revisions thereto as may be requested by Tenant or the proposed Transferee, and (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof. Any Transfer (which requires Landlord's consent pursuant to this Article 14) made without Landlord's prior written consent shall, at Landlord's option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord's option, constitute an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease. Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable, out-of-pocket professional fees (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys', accountants', architects', engineers' and consultants' fees) incurred by Landlord (not to exceed, in the aggregate, Two Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($2,500.00) for a 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. Landlord shall approve or disapprove of any proposed Transfer within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of request for approval. If Landlord fails to respond within such fifteen (15) business day period, then Tenant may send Landlord a reminder notice (the "Transfer Reminder Notice") setting forth such failure containing the following sentence at the top of such notice in bold, capitalized font at least twelve (12) points in size: "LANDLORD'S FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS NOTICE WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL RESULT IN LANDLORD'S DEEMED APPROVAL OF TENANT'S REQUEST FOR TRANSFER." Any such Transfer Reminder Notice shall include a complete copy of Tenant's Transfer Notice. If Landlord fails to respond within five (5) business days after receipt of a Transfer Reminder Notice, then Tenant's Transfer for which Tenant requested Landlord's approval shall be deemed approved by Landlord. Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under Applicable Laws for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply:
14.3 Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to any Transfer, as a condition thereto (which the parties hereby agree is reasonable), Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any Transfer Premium received by Tenant (or any subsequent Transferee, e.g., a sub-subtenant) in connection with the Transfer. "Transfer Premium" shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in connection with the Transfer in excess of all Rent, including the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer (which shall be calculated on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred), after deducting the reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Tenant for the Transfer including (i) any changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises in order to procure the particular Transfer, (ii) any market monetary allowances reasonably provided to the Transferee in connection with the Transfer, (iii) any market brokerage commissions in connection with the particular Transfer, (iv) legal fees in negotiating the particular Transfer, (v) any free rent and other concessions provided to the Transferee, (vi) any advertising or marketing costs directly relating to the Transfer, and (vii) any fees paid to Landlord for Landlord's review of the Transfer. "Transfer Premium" shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by the 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. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to the calculation of any Transfer Premium 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 reasonable, out-of-pocket costs of such audit not to exceed $2,000. In connection with such audit, Landlord and Landlord's agents shall follow Tenant's reasonable rules and procedures regarding inspections of Tenant's records, and shall execute a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement regarding such inspection. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, in no event shall Tenant be required to pay a Transfer Premium in connection with a Permitted Transfer
14.4 Landlord's Option as to Subject Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant ("Recapture Notice") within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of any Transfer Notice that provides for a Transfer of all or substantially all of the Premises for all or substantially all of the remaining Lease Term, to recapture the Subject Space (subject to this Section 14.4). In the event Landlord delivers such Recapture Notice to Tenant, Tenant may rescind its Transfer Notice by giving Landlord notice of such rescission within five (5) business days after receipt of Landlord's Recapture Notice, whereupon Tenant's Transfer Notice and Landlord's Recapture Notice shall be null and void. If Tenant does not rescind its Transfer Notice, then such recapture notice shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the Subject Space as of the date stated in the Transfer Notice as the effective date of the proposed Transfer. In the event of a recapture by Landlord and termination of this Lease with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses shall be equitably prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner, to recapture the Subject Space under this Section 14.4, then, provided Landlord has consented to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be entitled to proceed to Transfer the Subject Space to the proposed Transferee, subject to the TCCs of this Article 14. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the terms of this Section 14.4 shall not apply to a Permitted Transfer.
14.5 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to any Transfer, (i) the TCCs 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, and (iii) 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.
14.6 Occurrence of Default. Any Transfer 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 there shall be and Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord is hereby authorized during such Event of Default 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 an Event of Default by Tenant is occurring 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.
14.7 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, (i) an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an affiliate of Tenant ("Affiliate") (which for purposes of this Section 14.7, shall mean an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant as of the Effective Date), (ii) an assignment of the Lease to an entity which acquires all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant or which purchases as an operating unit the business located at the Premises, or (iii) an assignment of the Lease to an entity which is the resulting entity of a merger or consolidation of Tenant during the Lease Term (any such assignee or sublessee described in items (i) through (iii) of this Section 14.7 hereinafter referred to as a "Permitted Transferee", and any such assignment or sublease, a "Permitted Transfer"), shall not be deemed a Transfer requiring Landlord's consent under this Article 14; provided that (a) Tenant notifies Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any contemplated Permitted Transfer (provided if Tenant is prevented by Applicable Law or confidentiality requirements from disclosing such transaction to Landlord prior to the consummation thereof, Tenant shall provide such notice to Landlord as soon as reasonably practicable) and promptly supplies Landlord with any non-confidential documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such Permitted Transfer or Permitted Transferee, (b) no Event of Default by Tenant is then occurring under this Lease, and such Transfer is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease, (c) Intentionally Deleted, (d) in connection with a Permitted Transfer under (ii) or (iii) above, such Permitted Transferee shall have a tangible net worth (not including goodwill as an asset) sufficient to fulfill its obligations under the assignment or sublease, as applicable, (e) Tenant shall not be relieved from any liability under this Lease, and (f) Tenant and the Permitted Transferee shall execute and deliver to Landlord, prior to the effective date of the Transfer (provided if Tenant is prevented by Applicable Law or confidentiality requirements from disclosing such transaction to Landlord prior to the consummation thereof, Tenant and the Permitted Transferee shall executed and deliver to Landlord as soon as reasonably practicable), Landlord's then-standard commercially reasonable form of acknowledgment representing that the conditions of this Section 14.7 are true and accurate with respect to such Transfer. 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 14.7, shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity.
14.8 Change of Control. For purposes of this Section 14.8, the term "Change of Control" shall mean the following: (i) if Tenant is a partnership, limited liability company, or other non-corporate entity, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the partners, members, or owners, or transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of partnership, membership, or ownership interests, within a twelve (12)-month period, or the dissolution of the partnership or other entity without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a corporation, (a) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or (b) the sale or other transfer of an aggregate of more than fifty percent (50%) 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 more than fifty percent (50%) of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12)-month period. Tenant must notify Landlord in writing within thirty (30) days after the effectiveness of any such Change of Control (and Tenant shall provide Landlord with such non-confidential information with respect to the Change of Control as may be reasonably requested by Landlord). Landlord's consent shall not be required for a Change of Control unless Tenant (following such Change of Control) does not have a tangible net worth sufficient to fulfill its obligations under this
Lease. In no event shall Tenant be relieved from any liability under this Lease as a result of a Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, while Tenant is a publicly traded company, any Change of Control of Tenant effected through the sale or transfer of stocks on a public exchange shall not constitute a Transfer requiring Landlord's consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, any Change of Control that is a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
ARTICLE 15SURRENDER OF PREMISES
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 Requirements. 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 and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear, damage by Casualty or condemnation and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises the following, and repair all damage to the Premises, Building, or Project resulting from such removal, and at Landlord's option, with respect to Removal Items, restore any affected areas to the condition existing immediately prior to installation: (i) all debris and rubbish, (ii) Tenant's Property, and (iii) all Removal Items required to be removed pursuant to the express terms of Section 8.5 of this Lease. With respect to any Alterations that are not Removal Items, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all necessary user information that is reasonably within Tenant's possession such that the same may be used by a future occupant of the Premises. If Tenant fails to perform the foregoing removal, repair and restoration obligations, then at Landlord's option, either (i) Tenant shall be deemed to be holding over in the Premises and Rent shall continue to accrue in accordance with the terms of Article 16 below, until such work shall be completed, and/or (ii) Landlord may do so and may charge the reasonable, out-of-pocket cost thereof to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there are minor issues with the surrender condition (e.g. minor repairs needed), Landlord shall not have the option to claim that Tenant is in hold over, so long as Tenant has surrendered the Premises to Landlord. Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from and against any Losses relating to Tenant's installation, placement, removal or financing of any such Alterations, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises or the Project, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
15.3 Disposal Rights. Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Landlord, if any of Tenant's Property or Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment are not removed by Tenant upon the expiration of this Lease, or within five (5) business days after any early termination of this Lease, Landlord shall send written notice thereof of such failure and if Tenant fails to remove Tenant's Property or Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment within three (3) business days after such written notice, such Tenant's Property or Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment (as applicable) shall be considered abandoned and Landlord may, at its sole election (and regardless of the value of such property), (i) elect to take ownership of any or all of such property (in which event, subject to the rights of any third parties who have an ownership or security interest in any such property, Landlord may use, sell, or dispose of such property in Landlord's sole discretion), or (ii) store any or all of such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere (including at Landlord's property) for the account, and at the expense and risk, of Tenant. If Landlord elects to store Tenant's Property or Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment, then Tenant shall pay the reasonable, out-of-pocket cost of storing the same to Landlord (based on the actual costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, or if the property is being stored at property owned or controlled by Landlord or its affiliates, based on the then fair market rental value of the applicable space, in all cases as reasonably determined by Landlord). If Landlord elects to store any such personal property in accordance with item (ii) above, then Landlord may thereafter elect to take ownership of such property pursuant to item (i) above at any time prior to Tenant recovering possession of the subject property. The TCCs of this Section 15.3 have been specifically bargained for, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Tenant expressly waives the right to receive any notices under California Civil Code Section 1993 et seq., or any other statutory procedures with respect to abandoned personal property.
ARTICLE 16HOLDING OVER
ARTICLE 17ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES; FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
17.1 Estoppel Certificates.
17.2 Financial Statements. At any time during the Lease Term (but not more than once in any twelve (12) month period unless in connection with the sale or proposed sale, or the financing/refinancing, of the Project or any portion thereof), Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord with current, year to date financial statements and financial statements of the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year. Prior to receiving any financial statements, Landlord shall execute and deliver to Tenant a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant. Such financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (or in accordance with another method provided that such financial statements accurately reflect the financial condition of Tenant) and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Tenant is a publicly-traded company with SEC-compliant financial statements available to Landlord on a public website, Tenant shall not be required to provide Landlord with such financial statements.
ARTICLE 18SUBORDINATION AND MORTGAGEES
ARTICLE 19EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES
19.1 Events of Default. In addition to any other Events of Default specified elsewhere in this Lease, the occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" by Tenant:
19.2 Remedies Upon Event of 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.
19.3 Subleases of Tenant. Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of Event of Default, 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. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any right otherwise available under any law to redeem or reinstate this Lease.
19.5 Landlord Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall be in default under this Lease only if Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after Tenant delivers to Landlord written notice specifying such failure; however, if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, but Landlord commences to cure such failure within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently pursues the curing thereof to completion, then Landlord shall not be in default hereunder. Except where the provisions of this Lease grant Tenant an express, exclusive remedy, or expressly deny Tenant a remedy, Tenant may pursue all remedies available at law or in equity; provided, however, that any damages recoverable by Tenant shall not include consequential damages caused by such default; in each case, Landlord's liability or obligations with respect to any such remedy shall be limited as provided in Section 30.10 below. All obligations of Landlord under this Lease shall be construed as covenants, not conditions. Except as set forth in Section 7.3, Tenant hereby waives the benefit of any laws granting it the right to perform Landlord's obligations or the right to terminate this Lease or withhold Rent on account of any Landlord default.
19.6 Mutual Waiver of Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, neither Landlord nor the Landlord Parties shall be liable under any circumstances for injury or damage to, or interference with, Tenant's business, including but not limited to, loss of profits, loss of rents or other revenues, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss of use, or any indirect, consequential, or punitive damages of any kind, in each case, however occurring (including, without limitation, in connection with or incidental to a failure to furnish any services or utilities, or any failure to perform any repair or maintenance obligations), or loss to inventory, scientific research, scientific experiments, laboratory animals, products, specimens, samples, and/or scientific, business, accounting and
other records of every kind and description kept at the premises and any and all income derived or derivable therefrom. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, neither Tenant nor the Tenant Parties shall be liable under any circumstances for injury or damage to, or interference with, Landlord's business, including but not limited to, loss of profits, loss of rents or other revenues, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss of use, or any indirect, consequential, or punitive damages of any kind, in each case, however occurring (including, without limitation, in connection with or incidental to Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises or any failure to perform any repair or maintenance obligations), or loss of or damage to Landlord’s real or personal property at the Project or Landlord’s business operations, and any income derived or derivable therefrom. The parties acknowledge and agree that any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon Tenant's failure to surrender all or any portion of the Premises upon the expiration of the term of the Lease (as that same may be extended), and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom, to the extent expressly provided in Article 16, shall not be deemed interference with Landlord's business, loss of profits, loss of rents or other revenues, consequential damages, loss of business opportunity or loss of goodwill within the limitation set forth in the preceding sentence.
ARTICLE 20HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
20.1 Tenant's Obligations.
20.2 Compliance with Environmental Laws. Without limiting the generality of Tenant's obligation to comply with Applicable Laws as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant's use of Hazardous Materials at the Premises shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all Environmental Laws. Tenant shall obtain and maintain any and all necessary permits, licenses, certifications and approvals appropriate or required for the use, handling, storage, and disposal of any Hazardous Materials used, stored, generated, transported, handled, blended, or recycled by Tenant on the Premises. Landlord shall have a continuing right, without obligation, to require Tenant to obtain, and to review and inspect any and all such permits, licenses, certifications and approvals, together with copies of any and all Hazardous Materials management
plans and programs, any and all Hazardous Materials risk management and pollution prevention programs, and any and all Hazardous Materials emergency response and employee training programs respecting Tenant's use of Hazardous Materials.

20.3 Indemnification.
20.4 Assurance of Performance.
20.5 Tenant's Obligations Upon Surrender. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall: (i) cause an Environmental Assessment of the Premises to be conducted in accordance with Section 15.4; (ii) cause all Hazardous Materials to be removed from the Premises that are Tenant's express obligation to remove under this Article 20 and disposed of in accordance with all Environmental Laws; and (iii) cause to be removed all containers or structures installed or used by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties to store, convey, or process any Hazardous Materials on the Premises, and cause to be repaired any damage to the Premises caused by such removal; and (iv) deliver to Landlord evidence that it has complied with the terms of items (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 20.5, and Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice and at reasonable times, to cause Landlord's environmental consultant to inspect the Premises and perform such additional procedures as may be reasonably necessary to confirm that Tenant has removed all Hazardous Materials from the Premises that are Tenant's express obligation to remove under this Article 20. All costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such inspection initially shall be paid by Landlord; provided that if any such inspection shows that Tenant has failed to remove Hazardous Materials from the Premises that are Tenant's express obligation to remove under this Article 20 then the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such inspection shall be reimbursed by Tenant as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of written demand therefor.
20.6 Clean-Up.
20.7 Confidentiality. Unless compelled to do so by Applicable Law or court order, Tenant agrees that Tenant shall not disclose, discuss, disseminate or copy any information, data, findings, communications, conclusions and reports regarding the environmental condition of the Premises to any third party (other than Tenant's consultants, attorneys, property managers, agents, employees, shareholders and potential and actual investors, lenders, business and merger partners, subtenants and assignees that have a need to know such information), including any governmental authority, without the prior written consent of Landlord. In the event Tenant reasonably believes that disclosure is compelled by Applicable Laws or court order, it shall provide Landlord ten (10) days' advance notice of disclosure of confidential information so that Landlord may attempt to obtain a protective order. Tenant may additionally release such information
to bona fide prospective purchasers, investors, lenders, assignees or subtenants, subject to any such parties' written agreement to be bound by the terms of this Article 20.
20.8 Copies of Environmental Reports. Within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of any and all environmental assessments, audits, studies and reports regarding Tenant's activities with respect to Tenant's use of Hazardous Materials at the Premises, or ground water beneath the Project, or the environmental condition or Clean-up thereof, including without limitation, all Environmental Reports. Tenant shall be obligated to provide Landlord with a copy of such materials without regard to whether such materials are generated by Tenant or prepared for Tenant, or how Tenant comes into possession of such materials unless doing so would result in a breach of any contractual obligation of Tenant to a third party. Landlord may rely on such reports prepared for Tenant solely for purposes of verifying Tenant’s compliance with Article 20, provided that Landlord shall keep such materials confidential and shall not disclose the same to third parties except to Landlord’s consultants, lenders, or prospective purchasers.
20.9 Signs, Response Plans, Etc. Tenant shall be responsible for posting on the Premises any signs required under Applicable Laws, including without limitation, Environmental Laws with respect to Tenant's use of Hazardous Materials at the Premises. Tenant shall also complete and file any business response plans or inventories required by any Applicable Laws, including without limitation, Environmental Laws with respect to Tenant's use of Hazardous Materials at the Premises. Tenant shall concurrently file a copy of any such business response plan or inventory with Landlord.
20.10 Survival. Each covenant, agreement, representation, warranty and indemnification made by Tenant or Landlord set forth in this Article 20 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and shall remain effective until all of such party's obligations under this Article 20 have been completely performed and satisfied.
ARTICLE 21SECURITY DEPOSIT
ARTICLE 22SUBSTITUTION OF OTHER PREMISES
ARTICLE 23SIGNS
23.1 Full Floors. If the Premises comprise an entire floor of the Building, and provided all signs are in keeping with the quality, design and style of the Building and Project, Tenant, at Landlord's sole cost and expense for the initial identification signage, may install identification signage anywhere in the Premises (including, but not limited to, in the elevator lobby of the Premises), provided that such signs must not be visible from the exterior of the Building.
23.2 Multi-Tenant Floors. If other tenants occupy space on the floor of the Building on which the Premises is located, Tenant's identifying signage shall be provided by Landlord, at Landlord's cost, and such signage shall be comparable to that used by Landlord for other similar floors in the Building and shall comply with Landlord's Building standard signage program. Any subsequent changes to Tenant's identifying signage shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's consent thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
23.3 Building Directory. If a building directory is located in the lobby of the Building, Tenant shall have the right, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, to designate one (1) name strip on such directory. Any subsequent changes to Tenant's name strip shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's consent thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
23.4 Tenant's Signage. Tenant shall, to the extent allowed pursuant to Applicable Laws, be entitled to install one (1) monument signage strip located on the existing Building monument sign (the exact location of such signage strip to be designated by Landlord from the available spaces on such monument sign) (the "Tenant Signage"). Tenant Signage shall set forth Tenant's name or logo as determined by Tenant; provided, however, in no event shall the Tenant Signage include an "Objectionable Name or Logo," as that term is defined below. The graphics, materials, color, design, lettering and specifications of the Tenant Signage (collectively, the "Sign Specifications") shall be subject to the prior written reasonable approval of Landlord, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall be consistent and compatible with the quality and nature of the Project and the monument signage of other tenants of the Building. In no event shall Tenant's Signage (nor any signage provided by or to Tenant) contain content which is generally considered pornographic, obscene or defamatory, or consists of any material or activity with a primary context (I) aimed at furthering a political candidacy, (II) advancing a political stance, or (III) that is reasonably likely to incite protest (an "Objectionable Name or Logo"). The parties hereby agree that neither the name "Olema Pharmaceuticals, Inc.", nor any reasonable derivative thereof, shall be deemed an Objectionable Name or Logo. The initial Tenant's Signage shall be provided by Landlord, at Landlord's cost. Any subsequent changes to Tenant's Signage shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's consent thereto (which consent may be withheld in Landlord's reasonable discretion). Should the Tenant Signage require repairs and/or maintenance, as determined in Landlord's reasonable judgment, Landlord shall cause such repairs and/or maintenance to be performed at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (or within twenty (20) business days following Tenant's receipt of written notice from Landlord that Tenant's rights to such Tenant Signage have terminated as contemplated in the last sentence of this Section 23.4), Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, cause the Tenant Signage to be removed and shall cause the area in which such Tenant Signage was located to be restored to the condition existing immediately prior to the installation of such Tenant Signage. If Tenant fails to timely remove such Tenant Signage or to restore the areas in which such Tenant Signage was located, as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, then Landlord may perform such work, and all reasonable and actual costs incurred by Landlord in so performing shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of an invoice therefor together with reasonable documented evidence of such costs. The terms of this Section 23.4 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 24COMPLIANCE WITH LAW
24.1 Tenant's Compliance Obligations. Tenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises or the Project which will in any way violate any law, statute, ordinance or other rule, directive, order, regulation or requirement of any governmental entity or governmental agency now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated (collectively, "Applicable Laws"). Subject to Landlord's obligations under this Lease, including without limitation Section 24.2, at its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with all Applicable Laws (including the making of any alterations to the Premises required by Applicable Laws not arising from a preexisting violation of Applicable Laws) which relate to (i) Tenant's use of the Premises, (ii) Tenant's Repair Obligations, and (iii) Tenant's Insured Property. Should any standard or regulation now or hereafter be imposed on Landlord or 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, at its sole cost and expense, shall comply promptly with such standards or regulations. 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.
24.2 Landlord's Compliance Obligations. Landlord shall comply with all Applicable Laws relating to Landlord's Repair Obligations and Landlord's Insured Property, to the extent that Landlord's failure to comply therewith (i) would subject the certificate of occupancy for the Building to suspension or cancellation or would prohibit Tenant from obtaining or maintaining a certificate of occupancy, or any other permit, license, or approval, for the Premises allowing for the Permitted Use, (ii) would unreasonably and materially affect the safety of Tenant's employees or create a health hazard for Tenant's employees, (iii) would materially increase Tenant's obligations under this Lease, or materially decrease Tenant's rights under this Lease; or (iv) is required to be remedied by order of a governmental authority. If any changes are required to areas of the Project that are subject to Landlord's Repair Obligations or Landlord's Insured Property as a result of Tenant's Alterations, or specific use of the Premises for a use other than the Permitted Use or Tenant’s use of the Premises at an occupancy density in excess of the density reasonably derivable from the Approved Working Drawings, then Landlord shall notify Tenant. If Tenant elects to proceed with Tenant’s Alterations or continue with such specific use of the Premises or Tenant’s occupancy density in excess of one (1) person per one hundred fifty (150) rentable square feet of the Premises, Landlord shall make such changes at Tenant's sole cost and expense, provided such costs shall be limited to the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord. Landlord shall be permitted to include in Operating Expenses any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord under this Article 24 to the extent permitted and not prohibited by the terms of Article 4 above.
24.3 Certified Access Specialist. For purposes of Section 1938 of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that the 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: (i) any CASp inspection requested by Tenant shall be conducted, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, by a CASp reasonably approved by Landlord; and (ii) Tenant's and Landlord's respective obligations for making any improvements or repairs to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards shall be as set forth in Sections 24.1 and 24.2 above.
24.4 Permits. Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, apply for, seek and obtain prior to the date on which Tenant commences occupancy of all or any portion of the Premises all necessary state and local licenses, permits (including, without limitation, all Environmental Permits) and approvals needed for the operation of Tenant's business in the Premises and/or Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment, including any and all necessary permits and approvals directly or indirectly relating or incident to the conduct of its activities on the Premises, its scientific experimentation, transportation, storage, handling, use and disposal of any Hazardous Materials or laboratory specimens (collectively, the "Required Permits"); provided, however, that Required Permits shall not include any permits, certificates of occupancy, licenses, approvals or entitlements that are the responsibility of Landlord under this Lease or that relate to the Base Building, Improvements, Landlord’s Repair Obligations, Landlord’s Insured Property and/or the development, construction or operation of the Building as a first-class life sciences project. Tenant shall thereafter maintain all Required Permits. Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall at all times comply with the terms and
conditions of each Required Permit. Within ten (10) business days of Tenant's receipt of such request by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with copies of all Required Permits.

Provided Landlord complies with the terms of this Section 29.24, except as otherwise set forth herein, such Modifications and Landlord's actions in connection with such Modifications shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent. Except as otherwise provided herein or arising from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, breach of this Lease, or violation of Applicable Law by Landlord, its agents, employees, or contractors, Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the Modifications, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises resulting from the Modifications or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Modifications.
