THIS OFFICE BUILDING LEASE ("Agreement" or "Lease") is dated as of the date first appearing above and is entered into by and between Washington Township Health Care District, a local Health Care District organized under the laws of the State of California, doing business as Washington Hospital Healthcare System ("Landlord"), and ShotSpotter, Inc. ("Tenant"), a Delaware corporation.

 

In consideration of the rents, covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, the Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

 

1.
LEASED PREMISES

The Landlord does demise and lease to the Tenant the premises (the "Leased Premises"), described as Suite 300 in the building (the "Building") having a municipal address of 39300 Civic Center Drive in the City of Fremont, County of Alameda, State of California, in the Project (as defined in the Lease Summary) known as Fremont Office Center (the Leased Premises, the Building, the Project, together with the lands described in Schedule "A" attached and present and future improvements, additions and changes thereto being herein called the "Property"), consisting of approximately 11,625 rentable square feet (which is the usable square feet of the Leased Premises), on the third (3rd) floor as shown on the plan marked Schedule "B" attached hereto, excluding the exterior surfaces of the exterior walls of the Leased Premises.

 

2.
TERM

 

Term

(a) TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Leased Premises for and during the term sixty-five (65) months (the "Term") to be computed from the 1st day of October, 2021 and to be fully complete and ended on the 28th day of February, 2027, unless otherwise terminated.

 

Delay in Occupancy

(b) If the Leased Premises or any part thereof are not ready for occupancy on the date of commencement of the Term (which shall mean that the Landlord has delivered possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant with all Tenant Improvements and Landlord's Work complete, in good condition and repair, and ready for normal business operations (hereinafter referred to as "Ready for Occupancy"), no part of the "Rent" (as hereinafter defined) or only a proportionate part thereof, in the event that the Tenant shall occupy a part of the Leased Premises, shall be payable for the period prior to the date when the entire Leased Premises are Ready for Occupancy and the full Rent shall accrue only after such last mentioned date. The Tenant agrees to accept any such abatement of Rent in full settlement of all claims, which the Tenant might otherwise have by reason of the Leased Premises not being Ready for Occupancy on the date of commencement of the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that when the Landlord has completed construction of such part of the Leased Premises as it is obliged hereunder to construct (including the Landlord's Work), the Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of Rent for any delay in occupancy due to the Tenant's failure or delay to provide plans or to complete any special installations or other work required for its purposes or due to any other reason, nor shall the Tenant be entitled to any abatement of Rent for any delay in occupancy if the Landlord has been unable to complete construction of the Leased Premises by reason of such failure or delay by the Tenant. Notification by Landlord as to the date the Leased Premises were Ready for Occupancy and such construction as the Landlord is obliged to complete is substantially completed, or as to the date upon which the same would have been Ready for Occupancy and completed respectively but for the failure or delay of the Tenant, shall be conclusive and binding on the Tenant and Rent in full shall accrue and become payable from the date set. Notwithstanding any delay in occupancy, the expiration date of this Lease shall remain unchanged. In no event, shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any incidental, special or consequential damages,

including, but not limited to, loss of opportunities, loss of business or loss of profit, no matter what theory the claim is based on, including contract, tort, strict liability of statute, in the event that Landlord fails to deliver the Leased Premises to Tenant on any date specified in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord does not deliver the Leased Premises in Ready for Occupancy condition by March 31, 2022 for any reason other than a delay caused by Tenant, this Lease may be terminated by Tenant by written notice to Landlord, and if so terminated: (a) the Security Deposit and Prepaid Rent shall be returned to Tenant, and (b) neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights, duties or obligations under this Lease, except with respect to provisions which expressly survive termination of this Lease.

 

Holding Over

(c) If, at the expiration of the Term or sooner termination hereof, the Tenant shall remain in possession without any further written agreement or in circumstances where a tenancy would thereby be created by implication of law or otherwise, a tenancy from year to year shall not be created by implication of law or otherwise, but the Tenant shall be deemed to be a monthly tenant only, at 150% "Basic Rent" (as hereinafter defined), payable monthly in advance plus "Additional Rent" (as hereinafter defined) and otherwise upon and subject to the same terms and conditions as herein contained, excepting provisions for renewal (if any) and leasehold improvement allowance (if any), contained herein, and nothing, including the acceptance of any Rent by the Landlord, for periods other than monthly periods, shall extend this Lease to the contrary except an agreement in writing between the Landlord and the Tenant and the Tenant hereby authorizes the Landlord to apply any monies received from the Tenant in payment of such monthly Rent. In the event of any unauthorized holding over, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against all claims for damages (and reimburse Landlord upon demand for any reasonable sums paid in settlement of any such claims) by any other Tenant or prospective Tenant to whom Landlord may have leased all or any part of the Leased Premises effective before or after the expiration of the Lease Term and by any broker claiming any commission or fee in respect of any such lease or offer to lease.

 

Fixturization Period and Early Access

(d) Landlord shall make the Leased Premises available to Tenant at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Commencement Date for the sole purpose of permitting Tenant to install fixtures, furniture, equipment, telecommunication wiring and other personal property ("Fixturization Period"). Tenant hereby assumes all risk of loss or damage to its fixtures, furniture, equipment, or other personal property which are placed or installed in the Leased Premises during the Fixturization Period. Except for the obligation to pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent, all other terms of this Lease shall govern Tenant's use of the Leased Premises during the Fixturization Period. Tenant's use of the Leased Premises during the Fixturization Period shall not affect the Lease Expiration date. During the Fixturization Period, Tenant shall not interfere with any work Landlord is obligated to perform in the Leased Premises under this Lease. It shall be Tenant's responsibility to ensure that such interference does not occur.

 

Options to Renew

(e) Tenant shall have the option or options to renew, if any, described in the attached Schedule "P".

 

Tenant Access

(f) Tenant shall have access to the Leased Premises 24-bours per day, seven days per week, 365 days per year, subject to Landlord's right to close or deny access to the building when needed for maintenance and repair activities or in an emergency.

3.
RENT

 

Basic Rent

(a) See Schedule "G".

 

Additional Rent

(b) The Tenant shall, without deduction or right of offset, except as provided for in this Lease, pay to the Landlord yearly and every year during the Term as additional rental (hereinafter called "Additional Rent"):

 

 

(i) the amounts of any Taxes payable by the Tenant to the Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Schedule "C" attached hereto; and

 

 

(ii) the amounts required to be paid to the Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Schedule "D" attached hereto.

 

Payment

(c) Additional Rent shall be paid and adjusted with reference to a fiscal period of twelve (12) calendar months ("Fiscal Period"), which shall be a calendar year unless the Landlord shall from time to time have selected a Fiscal Period which is not a calendar year by written notice to the Tenant. The Landlord shall advise the Tenant in writing of its estimate of the Additional Rent to be payable by the Tenant during the Fiscal Period (or broken portion of the Fiscal Period, as the case may be, if applicable at the commencement or end of the Term or because of a change in Fiscal Period) which commenced upon the commencement date of the Term and for each succeeding Fiscal Period or broken portion thereof which commences during the Term. Such estimate shall, in every case, be a reasonable estimate and, if requested by the Tenant, shall be accompanied by reasonable particulars of the manner in which it was calculated. The Additional Rent payable by the Tenant shall be paid in equal monthly installments in advance at the same time as payment of Basic Rent is due hereunder based on the Landlord's estimate as aforesaid. From time to time, the Landlord may re­ estimate, on a reasonable basis, the amount of Additional Rent for any Fiscal Period or broken portion thereof, in which case the Landlord shall advise the Tenant in writing of such re-estimate and fix new equal monthly installments for the remaining balance of such Fiscal Period or broken portion thereof. After the end of each such Fiscal Period or broken portion thereof the Landlord shall submit to the Tenant a statement of the actual Additional Rent payable in respect of such Fiscal Period or broken portion thereof and a calculation of the amounts by which the Additional Rent payable by the Tenant exceeds or is less than (as the case may be) the aggregate installments paid by the Tenant on account of Additional Rent for such Fiscal Period. Within thirty (30) days after the submission of such statement either the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord any amount by which the amount found payable by the Tenant with respect to such Fiscal Period or broken portion thereof exceeds the aggregate monthly payments made by it on account thereof during such Fiscal Period or broken portion thereof, or the Landlord shall pay to the Tenant any amount by which the amount found payable as aforesaid is less than the aggregate of such monthly payments.

 

Accrual of Rent

(d) Basic Rent and Additional Rent (herein collectively called "Rent") shall be considered as accruing from day to day, and Rent for an irregular period of less than one year or less than one calendar month shall be apportioned and adjusted by the Landlord for the Fiscal Periods of the Landlord in which the tenancy created hereby commences and expires. Where the calculation of Additional Rent for a period cannot be made until after the termination of this Lease, the obligation of the Tenant to pay Additional Rent shall survive the termination hereof for a period of up to six (6) calendar months and Additional Rent for such period shall be payable by the Tenant upon thirty (30) days written notice by the Landlord. In the event that Landlord shall fail to invoice Tenant for any Additional Rent pursuant to this section within six (6) calendar months following the expiration or termination of this Lease, then Landlord shall be deemed to have waived its right to collect such Additional Rent. If the Term commences or expires on any day other than the first or

 

7


 

 

the last day of a month, Rent for such fraction of a month shall be apportioned and adjusted as aforesaid and paid by the Tenant on the commencement date of the Term.

 

Recovery of Rent

(e) Rent and any other amounts required to be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord under this Lease shall be deemed to be and be treated as rent and payable and recoverable as rent, and the Landlord shall have all rights against the Tenant for Default in any payment of rent and other amounts as in the case of arrears in rent.

 

Limitations

(f) The information set out in statements, documents or other writings setting out the amount of Additional Rent submitted to the Tenant under or pursuant to this Lease shall be binding on the Tenant and deemed to be accepted by it and shall not be subject to amendment for any reason unless the Tenant gives written notice to the Landlord within sixty (60) days of the Landlord's submission of such statement, document or other writing identifying the statement, document, or writing and setting out in reasonable detail the reason why such statement, document, or writing should not be binding on the Tenant.

 

Late Fee

(g) All rent is due and payable on the first day of each month. Rent is delinquent after the tenth (10th) day of the month. A 10% late fee is assessed on the eleventh (11th) day of the month. All late fees shall be considered an item of Additional Rent.

4.
SECURITY DEPOSIT

 

Security Deposit

The Landlord shall recognize the Tenant's security deposit upon execution of this Lease by the Tenant for the sum of forty-two thousand nine hundred ninety dollars and twenty-three cents ($42,990.23) as a deposit to the Landlord to stand as security for the payment by the Tenant of any and all present and future debts and liabilities of the Tenant to the Landlord and for the performance by the Tenant of all of its obligations arising under or in connection with this Lease (the "Debts, Liabilities and Obligations"). Tenant shall not apply the security deposit as rent. At all times Tenant shall maintain a security deposit with Landlord in an amount equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the last month's rent for the Leased Premises. Landlord shall bill Tenant for any such additional security deposit as required. The Landlord shall not be required to keep the deposit separate from its general funds. In the event of the Landlord disposing of its interest in this Lease, the Landlord shall credit the deposit to its successor and thereupon shall have no liability to the Tenant to repay the security deposit to the Tenant. Subject to the foregoing and to the Tenant not being in Default under this Lease, the Landlord shall repay the security deposit to the Tenant without interest at the end of the Term or sooner termination of the Lease provided that all Debts, Liabilities and Obligations of the Tenant to the Landlord are paid and performed in full, failing which the Landlord may on notice to the Tenant elect to retain all or a portion of the security deposit and to apply it in reduction of the Debts, Liabilities and Obligations and the Tenant shall remain fully liable to the Landlord for payment and performance of the remaining Debts, Liabilities and Obligations. Tenant shall be responsible to restore the Leased Premises to their condition as of the Commencement Date for this Lease (reasonable wear and tear, damage by casualty, and repairs which are Landlord's obligation excepted), including repair of holes in walls, removal of signage, re-painting of the Leased Premises if Tenant utilized paint that is not consisting with building standards and cleaning of the flooring as needed. Landlord will refund Tenant's security deposit, less any offsets as set forth in this paragraph, approximately thirty (30) days after Tenant's tenancy has terminated and Tenant has vacated, returned keys and removed any and all personal property from the Leased Premises, including all computer and telecommunications cabling from floor, wall and ceiling areas, unless Landlord expressly provides in writing that such property may remain in the Leased Premises.

In no event may this Lease be assigned or the Leased Premises sublet to any existing tenant or occupant of the Building or to any entity that is then in lease negotiations with the Landlord. In addition, Tenant may not assign or sublet the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, if it is in Default under the terms and conditions of this Lease, until such time as Tenant has "cured" the Default to the reasonable satisfaction of the Landlord.

 

Corporate and Partnership

Transfers

(b) For purposes of this Section 7, if Tenant is a corporation, partnership or other entity, any transfer, assignment, encumbrance or hypothecation of more than fifty percent (50%) (individually or in the aggregate) of any stock or other ownership interest in such entity, and/or any transfer, assignment, hypothecation or encumbrance of any controlling ownership or voting interest in such entity, will be deemed a Transfer and will be subject to all of the restrictions and provisions contained in this Section 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the immediately preceding sentence will not apply to any transfers of stock of Tenant if Tenant is a publicly-held corporation and such stock is transferred publicly over a recognized security exchange or over-the-counter market.

 

Permitted Controlled Transfers

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7 to the contrary, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof ("Permitted Transfer"), without Landlord's consent and without extending any sublease termination option to Landlord, to any parent, subsidiary or affiliate corporation which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or to any corporation resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant's business as a going concern, provided that: (i) at least twenty (20) days prior to such assignment or sublease, Tenant delivers to Landlord the financial statements and other financial and background information of the assignee or sublessee described in Subsection 7(d); (ii) if an assignment, the assignee assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant under this Lease (or if a sublease, the sublessee of a portion of the Leased Premises or Term assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant with respect to such portion); (iii) the financial net worth of the assignee or sublessee as of the time of the proposed assignment or sublease equals or exceeds that of Tenant as of the date of execution of this Lease; (iv) Tenant remains fully liable under this Lease; and (v) the use of the Leased Premises under Section 6 remains unchanged.

 

Transfer Notice

(d) If Tenant desires to effect a Transfer, then at least thirty (30) days prior to the date when Tenant desires the Transfer to be effective (the "Transfer Date"), Tenant agrees to give Landlord a notice (the ''Transfer Notice"), stating the name, address and business of the proposed assignee, sublessee or other transferee (sometimes referred to hereinafter as "Transferee"), reasonable information (including references) concerning the character, ownership, and financial condition of the proposed Transferee, the Transfer Date, any ownership or commercial relationship between Tenant and the proposed Transferee, and the consideration and all other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, all in such factual detail as Landlord may reasonably require. If Landlord reasonably requests additional detail within ten (10) days after receipt of a Transfer Notice, the Transfer Notice will not be deemed to have been received until Landlord receives such additional detail, and Landlord may withhold consent to any Transfer until such information is provided to it.

 

11


 

 

Landlord's Options

(e) Within thirty (30) days of Landlord's receipt of any Transfer Notice, and any additional information reasonably requested by Landlord concerning the proposed Transferee's financial responsibility, Landlord will elect to do one of the following:

 

 

(i) consent to the proposed Transfer;

 

 

(ii) refuse such consent, which refusal shall be on reasonable grounds including, without limitation, those set forth in Subsection 7(f); or

 

 

(iii) subject to the terms of Section 7(i) below, terminate this Lease as to all or such portion of the Leased Premises which is proposed to be sublet or assigned and recapture all or such portion of the Leased Premises for reletting by Landlord.

 

Reasonable

Disapproval

(f) Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that Landlord's disapproval of any proposed Transfer pursuant to Subsection 7(e) will be deemed reasonably withheld if based upon any reasonable factor, including, without limitation, any or all of the following factors: (i) if the Building is less than ninety percent (90%) occupied, if the net effective rent payable by the Transferee (adjusted on a rentable square foot basis) is less than the net effective rent then being quoted by Landlord for new leases in the Building for comparable size space for a comparable period of time; (ii) the proposed Transferee is a governmental entity; (iii) the portion of the Leased Premises to be sublet or assigned is irregular in shape with inadequate means of ingress and egress; (iv) the use of the Leased Premises by the Transferee (A) is not permitted by the use provisions in Section 6 hereof, or (B) violates any exclusive use granted by Landlord to another tenant in the Building; (v) the Transfer would likely result in a significant and inappropriate increase in the use of the parking areas or Project Common Areas by the Transferee's employees or visitors, and/or significantly increase the demand upon utilities and services to be provided by Landlord to the Leased Premises; (vi) the Transferee does not have the financial capability to fulfill the obligations imposed by the Transfer and this Lease; or (vii) the Transferee is not in Landlord's reasonable opinion consistent with Landlord's desired tenant mix. In the event Landlord withholds or conditions its consent and Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under Subsection 7(f) or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Section 7, their sole remedies shall be a declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought without any monetary damages, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee. In any such action, each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from any and all liability, losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action and proceedings involving any third party or parties (including without limitation Tenant's proposed sub-tenant or assignee) who claim they were damaged by Landlord's wrongful withholding or conditioning of Landlord's consent.

 

Additional

Conditions

(g) A condition to Landlord's consent to any Transfer of this Lease will be the delivery to Landlord of a fully executed letter of intent or proposal to such Transfer where both the Tenant and the subtenant or assignee (as applicable) have signed, then within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord's consent to such Transfer, a true copy of the fully executed instrument of assignment, sublease, transfer or hypothecation, and, in the case of an assignment, the delivery to Landlord of an agreement executed by the Transferee in a commercially reasonable and standard form and substance, whereby the Transferee assumes and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Lease and to perform all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder. As a condition for granting its consent to any assignment or sublease, Landlord may require that, upon a Default by Tenant under this Lease, the assignee or sublessee remit directly to Landlord on a monthly basis, all

 

12


 

 

monies due to Tenant by said assignee or sublessee. As a condition to Landlord's consent to any sublease, such sublease must provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease and to all mortgages; that Landlord may enforce the provisions of the sublease, including collection of rent; that in the event of termination of this Lease for any reason, including without limitation a voluntary surrender by Tenant, or in the event of any reentry or repossession of the Leased Premises by Landlord, Landlord may, at its option, either (i) terminate the sublease, or (ii) take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor, under such sublease, in which case such sublessee will attorn to Landlord, but that nevertheless Landlord will not (1) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (2) be subject to any defense or offset previously accrued in favor of the sublessee against Tenant, or (3) be bound by any previous modification of any sublease made without Landlord's written consent, or by any previous prepayment by sublessee of more than one month's rent.

 

Excess Rent

(h) If Landlord consents to any Transfer, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, fifty percent (50%) of all sums and other consideration payable to and for the benefit of Tenant by the Transferee on account of the Transfer in excess of the following amounts: (i) Rent and other amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of such Transfer and if such Transfer is for less than all of the Leased Premises, the amount shall be calculated on a rentable square foot basis and (ii) Tenant's out-of-pocket expenses incurred to obtain such Transfer, including, but not limited to, (1) any changes, alterations and improvements to the Leased Premises paid for by Tenant and approved by Landlord in connection with the Transfer, (2) any other leasing or subleasing concessions provided by Tenant to the Transferee (e.g. free rent, allowances, etc.), (3) any brokerage commissions paid for by Tenant in connection with the Transfer, and (4) any other out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant which are reasonably associated with the Transfer, as and when such sums and other consideration are due and payable by the Transferee to or for the benefit of Tenant (or, if Landlord so requires, and without any release of Tenant's liability for the same, Tenant agrees to instruct the Transferee to pay such 50% of such excess sums directly to Landlord).

 

Termination Rights

(i) If Tenant requests Landlord's consent to any assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Leased Premises, Landlord will have the right, as provided in Subsection 7(e), to terminate this Lease as to all or such portion of the Leased Premises which is proposed to be sublet or assigned effective as of the date Tenant proposes to sublet or assign all or less than all of the Leased Premises. Landlord's right to terminate this Lease as to less than all of the Leased Premises proposed to be sublet or assigned will not terminate as to any future additional subletting or assignment as a result of Landlord's consent to a subletting of less than all of the Leased Premises or Landlord's failure to exercise its termination right with respect to any subletting or assignment. Landlord will exercise such termination right, if at all, by giving written notice to Tenant within ten (10) days of receipt by Landlord of the financial responsibility information required by this Section 7. Tenant understands and acknowledges that the option, as provided in this Section 7, to terminate this Lease as to all or such portion of the Leased Premises which is proposed to be sublet or assigned rather than approve the subletting or assignment of all or a portion of the Leased Premises, is a material inducement for Landlord's agreeing to lease the Leased Premises to Tenant upon the terms and conditions herein set forth. In the event of any such termination with respect to less than all of the Leased Premises, the cost of segregating the recaptured space from the balance of the Leased Premises will be paid by Tenant and Tenant's future monetary obligations under this Lease will be reduced proportionately on a square footage basis to correspond to the balance of the Leased Premises which Tenant continues to lease.

 

No Release

(j) No Transfer will release Tenant of Tenant's obligations under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Upon a Default by Tenant, Landlord may require that any Transferee remit directly to Landlord on a monthly basis, all monies due Tenant by said

 

13


 

 

Transferee. However, the acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person will not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof. Consent by Landlord to one Transfer will not be deemed consent to any subsequent Transfer. In the event of Default by any Transferee of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such Transferee or successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments of this Lease or sublettings or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and any such actions will not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease.

 

Administrative & Attorneys' Fees

(k) If Tenant effects a Transfer or requests the consent of Landlord to any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is consummated), then, upon demand, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord a non-refundable administrative fee of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($260.00), plus any reasonable attorneys' and paralegal fees incurred by Landlord in connection with such Transfer or request for consent (whether attributable to Landlord's in-house attorneys or paralegals or otherwise) up to a maximum of $2,600. Acceptance of the Two Hundred Fifty Dollar ($260.00)administrative fee and/or reimbursement of Landlord's attorneys' and paralegal fees will in no event obligate Landlord to consent to any proposed Transfer.

 

Marketing

(l) Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant may market the Leased Premises for subletting or assignment in typical publications or websites; provided that no such marketing shall affect the terms and conditions of this Section 7. For the sake of clarity, Tenant shall not be allowed to install signs on the Property marketing the Leased Premises for subletting or assignment.

Landlord's

Insurance

(a) The Landlord shall take out and keep in force during the Term insurance with respect to the Property except for the "Leasehold Improvements" (as hereinafter defined) in the Leased Premises. The insurance to be maintained by the Landlord shall be in respect of perils and to amounts and on terms and conditions which from time to time are insurable at a reasonable premium and which are normally insured by reasonable prudent owners of properties similar to the Property, all as from time to time determined at reasonable intervals by insurance advisors selected by the Landlord, and whose opinion shall be conclusive. Unless and until the insurance advisors shall state that any such perils are not customarily insured against by owners of properties similar to the Property, the perils to be insured against by the Landlord shall include, without limitation, public liability, boilers and machinery, fire and extended perils and may include, at the option of the Landlord, losses suffered by the Landlord in its capacity as Landlord through business interruption. The insurance to be maintained by the Landlord shall contain a waiver by the insurer of any rights of subrogation or indemnity or any other claim over which the insurer might otherwise be entitled against the Tenant or the agents or employees of the Tenant.

 

Tenant's

Insurance

(a) The Tenant shall take out and keep in force during the Term:

 

(i) comprehensive general public liability insurance all on an occurrence basis with respect to the business carried on in or from the Leased Premises and the Tenant's use and occupancy of the Leased Premises and of any other part of the Property, with coverage for any one occurrence or claim of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) or such other amount as the Landlord may reasonably require upon not less than one (1) month notice at any time during the Term, which insurance shall include the Landlord as an additional insured and shall protect the Landlord in respect of claims by the Tenant as if the Landlord were separately insured and worker's compensation insurance as required by law;

 

 

16


 

 

(ii) insurance in respect of fire and such other perils as are from time to time in the usual extended coverage endorsement covering the Leasehold Improvements, trade fixtures, and the furniture and equipment in the Leased Premises for not less than 80% of the full replacement cost thereof, and which insurance shall include the Landlord as a loss payee as the Landlord's interest may appear;

 

 

(iii) insurance against such other perils and in such amounts as the Landlord may from time to time reasonably require upon not less than ninety (90) days written notice, such requirement to be made on the basis that the required insurance is customary at the time for prudent tenants of properties similar to the Property.

 

 

All insurance required to be maintained by the Tenant shall be on terms and with insurers satisfactory to the Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord hereby approves Tenant's current insurer. Each policy shall contain a waiver by the insurer of any rights of subrogation or indemnity or any other claim over to which the insurer might otherwise be entitled against the Landlord or the agents or employees of the Landlord, and the policy will not lapse to be canceled, except after not less than thirty (30) days' written notice to the Landlord of the intended change, lapse or cancelation. The Tenant shall furnish to the Landlord, if and whenever requested by it, certificates or other evidence acceptable to the Landlord as to the insurance from time to time effected by the Tenant and if renewal or continuation in force, together with evidence as to the method of determination of full replacement cost of the Tenant's Leasehold Improvements, trade fixtures, furniture and equipment, and if the Landlord reasonably concludes that the full replacement cost has been underestimated, the Tenant shall forthwith arrange for any consequent increase in coverage required under subparagraph (b). If the Tenant shall fail to take out, renew and keep in force such insurance, or if the evidences submitted to the Landlord are unacceptable to the Landlord (or no such evidences are submitted within a reasonable period after request therefore by the Landlord), then the Landlord may give to the Tenant written notice requiring compliance with this subparagraph. and specifying the respects in which the Tenant is not then in compliance with this subparagraph. If the Tenant does not within five (5) days provide appropriate evidence of compliance with this subparagraph, the Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain some or all of the additional coverage or other insurance which the Tenant shall have failed to obtain, without prejudice to any other rights of the Landlord under this Lease or otherwise, and the Tenant shall pay all premiums and other reasonable expenses incurred by the Landlord to the Landlord on demand.

Landlord's Liability

(c) The Tenant agrees that the Landlord shall not be liable for any bodily injury or death of, or loss or damage to any property belonging to, the Tenant or its employees, invitees or licensees or any other person in, on or about the Property unless resulting from the actual willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Landlord or its own employees, agents or contractors. In no event shall the Landlord be liable for any damage which is caused by steam, water, rain or snow or other thing which may leak into, issue or flow from any part of the Property or from the pipes or plumbing works, including the sprinkler system (if any) therein or from any other place or for any damage caused by or attributable to the condition or arrangement of any electric or other wiring or of sprinkler heads (if any) or for any damage caused by anything done or omitted by any other tenant.

(iv) the Leased Premises shall, without the prior written consent of the Landlord, be used by any other persons than the Tenant or its permitted assigns or subtenants or for any purpose other than that for which they were leased or occupied or by any persons whose occupancy is prohibited by this Lease;

 

18


 

 

 

 

(v) the Leased Premises shall be vacated or abandoned, or remain unoccupied without the prior written consent of the Landlord for thirty (30) consecutive days or more while capable of being occupied (provided that the Tenant shall not be deemed to have abandoned or vacated the Leased Premises if either (a) the vacating or abandoning is due to a governmental mandate, stay-at-home order or other reason not within Tenant's reasonable control or (b) Tenant provides Landlord with reasonable advance notice prior to vacating or abandoning and, at the time of vacating or abandoning the Leased Premises, (i) Tenant has made reasonable arrangements with Landlord for the security of the Leased Premises for the period of such vacating or abandoning, and (ii) Tenant continues during the balance of the Term to satisfy and perform all of Tenant's obligations under this uase as they come due);

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the nature of Tenant's Default pursuant to Section 10(a) is such that it cannot be cured by the payment of money and reasonably requires more than 15 days to cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in Default if Tenant commences such cure within said 15-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

 

 

Payment of Rent,

etc. on Termination

(b) The Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies all of which are cumulative and not alternative and not to the exclusion of any other or additional rights and remedies in law or equity available to the Landlord by statute or otherwise:

(iii) to terminate this Lease forthwith. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease then Landlord may recover from Tenant:

 

 

(A) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus

(E) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the damages proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform the Tenant obligations under this Lease. As used in subparagraphs 10(b)(iii)(A) and (B) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law per annum. As used in subparagraph 10(b)(iii)(C) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

 

 

(iv) to enter the Leased Premises as agent of the Tenant and as such agent to re-let them and to receive the rent therefor and as the agent of the Tenant to take possession of any furniture or other property thereon and upon giving ten (10) days' written notice to the Tenant to store the same at the expenses and risk of the Tenant or to sell or otherwise dispose of the same at public or private sale without further notice and to apply the proceeds thereof and any rent derived from reletting the Leased Premises upon account of the Rent due and to become due under this Lease and the Tenant shall be liable to the Landlord for the deficiency if any.

Landlord Default

(d) In the event Landlord fails to cure, or promptly commence and diligently pursue the cure of, any breach or failure by Landlord to comply with any of Landlord's obligations under this Lease within a commercially reasonable period after Tenant furnishes Landlord with written notice of such failure, then Tenant shall have the right (but not the obligation) to perform such obligation on Landlord's account and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant upon demand for the amount expended by Tenant in performing such obligation (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of collection). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall have no right to repair, modify, or alter any building systems.

The construction, installation and other work to be completed by Landlord pursuant to this Schedule "H" shall be referred to as "Landlord's Work."

 

4.
Prior to commencing any work, Landlord shall submit a proposed budget to Tenant for the anticipated cost of Landlord's Work and Tenant shall have the right to approve the proposed budget (after approval, referred to as the "Approved Budget").

7.

SCHEDULE "I"

PARKING

 

Grant of Parking

Rights

1. So long as this Lease is in effect and provided Tenant is not in Default hereunder, Landlord grants to Tenant and Tenant's Authorized Users a license to use forty-one (41) unreserved parking spaces at no cost for the entire term (including any extension terms) of the Lease.

 

 

As consideration for the use of such parking spaces, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord or, at Landlord's election, directly to Landlord's parking operator, as Additional Rent under this Lease, the parking rate set forth of $0.00 for the entire term (including any extension terms) of the Lease. Tenant agrees that all parking charges will be payable on a monthly basis concurrently with each monthly payment of Monthly Base Rent. Tenant agrees to submit to Landlord or, at Landlord's election, directly to Landlord's parking operator with a copy to Landlord, written notice in a form reasonably specified by Landlord containing the names and telephone numbers of those persons who are authorized by Tenant to use Tenant's parking spaces on a monthly basis ("Tenant's Authorized Users") and shall use its best efforts to identify each vehicle of Tenant's Authorized Users by make, model and license number. Tenant agrees to deliver such notice prior to the beginning of the Term of this Lease and to periodically update such notice as well as upon specific request by Landlord or Landlord's parking operator to reflect changes to Tenant's Authorized Users of their vehicles.

 

Visitor Parking

2. So long as this Lease is in effect, Tenant's visitors and guests will be entitled to use those specific parking areas which are designated for short term visitor parking and which are located within the surface parking area(s), if any, and/or within the parking structure(s) which serve the Building. Visitor parking will be made available at a charge to Tenant's visitors and guests, with the rate being established by Landlord in its discretion from time to time. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may elect to validate such parking for its visitors and guests. All such visitor parking will be on a non-exclusive, in common basis with all other visitors and guests of the Project.

 

Use of Parking

Spaces

3. Tenant will not use or allow any of Tenant's Authorized Users to use any parking spaces which have been specifically assigned by Landlord to other tenants or occupants or for other uses such as visitor parking or which have been designated by any governmental entity as being restricted to certain uses. Tenant will not be entitled to increase or reduce its parking privileges applicable to the Leased Premises during the Term of the Lease except as follows: If at any time Tenant desires to increase or reduce the number of parking spaces allocated to it under the terms of this Lease, Tenant must notify Landlord in writing of such desire and Landlord will have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (a) approve such requested increase in the number of parking spaces allocated to Tenant (with an appropriate increase to the Additional Rent payable to Tenant for such additional spaces based on the then prevailing parking rates), (b) approve such requested decrease in the number of parking spaces allocated to Tenant (with an appropriate reduction in the Additional Rent payable by Tenant for such eliminated parking spaces based on the then prevailing parking rates), or (c) disapprove such requested increase or decrease in the number of parking spaces allocated to Tenant. Promptly following receipt of Tenant's written request, Landlord will provide Tenant with written notice of its decision including a statement of any adjustments to the Additional Rent payable by Tenant for parking under Lease, if applicable. No parking stalls will be allocated to Tenant with respect to any space leased by Tenant under the Lease which consists of less than the full incremental amounts of rentable square footage, if any, required for parking stalls.

General Provisions

4. Landlord reserves the right to set and increase monthly fees and/or daily and hourly rates for parking privileges from time to time during the Term of the Lease, provided that Tenant shall have the use of the unreserved parking spaces described above without additional cost. Subject to the rights granted to Tenant under this Schedule, Landlord may assign any unreserved and unassigned parking spaces and/or make all or any portion of such spaces reserved, if Landlord reasonably determines that it is necessary for orderly and efficient parking or for any other reasonable reason. Failure to pay the rent for any particular parking may be treated by Landlord as a default under this Lease and, in addition to all other remedies available to Landlord under the Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord may elect to recapture such parking spaces for the balance of the Term of this Lease if Tenant does not cure such failure within the applicable period.

 

 

In such event, Tenant and Tenant's Authorized Users will be deemed visitors for purposes of parking space use and will be entitled to use only those parking areas specifically designated for visitors parking subject to all provisions of this Lease applicable to such visitor parking use. Tenant's parking rights and privileges described herein are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned or transferred, or otherwise conveyed, without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, except pursuant to a Permitted Transfer. In any event, under no circumstances may Tenant's parking rights and privileges be transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed separate and apart from Tenant's interest in this Lease.

 

Cooperation with Traffic Mitigation Measures

5. Tenant agrees to use its reasonable, good faith efforts to cooperate in commercially reasonable traffic mitigation programs which may be undertaken by Landlord independently, or in cooperation with local municipalities or governmental agencies or other property owners in the vicinity of the Building. Such programs may include, but will not be limited to, carpools, vanpools and other ridesharing programs, public and private transit, flexible work hours, preferential assigned parking programs and programs to coordinate tenants within the Project with existing or proposed traffic mitigation programs.

 

Parking Rules and Regulations

6. The following rules and regulations govern the use of the parking facilities which serve the Building. Tenant will be bound by such rules and regulations and agrees to cause its employees, subtenants, assignees, contractors, suppliers, customers and invitees to observe the same:

 

 

(a) Tenant will not permit or allow any vehicles that belong to or are controlled by Tenant or Tenant's employees, subtenants, customers or invitees to be loaded, unloaded or parking or parked in areas other than those designated by Landlord for such activities.

(g) Washing, waxing, cleaning, or servicing of any vehicle in any area not specifically reserved for such purpose is prohibited.

 

 

(h) Landlord may refuse to permit any person to park in the parking facilities who violates these rules with unreasonable frequency, and any violation of these rules shall subject the violator's car to removal, at such owner's expense. Tenant agrees to use its best efforts to acquaint its employees, subtenants, assignees, contractors, suppliers, customers and invitees with these parking provisions, rules and regulations.

 

 

(i) Parking stickers, access cards, or any other device or form of identification supplied by Landlord as a condition of use of the parking facilities shall remain the property of Landlord and shall be provided to Tenant at no additional cost, except that Landlord shall be entitled to charge a reasonable fee for replacing any lost parking stickers, access cards, or other identification. Parking identification devices, if utilized by Landlord, must be displayed as requested and may not be mutilated in any manner. The serial number of the parking identification device may not be obliterated. Parking Identification devices, if any, are not transferable and any device in the possession of an unauthorized holder will be void. Landlord reserves the right to refuse the sale of monthly stickers or other parking identification devices to any of Tenant's agents, employees or representatives who willfully refuse to comply with these rules and regulations and all unpasted city, state, or federal ordinances, laws or agreements.

 

 

(j) Loss or theft of parking identification devices or access cards must be reported to the management office in the Project immediately, and a lost or stolen report must be filed by the Tenant or user of such parking identification device or access card at the time. Landlord has the right to exclude any vehicle from the parking facilities that does not have a parking identification device or valid access card. Any parking identification device or access card which is reported lost or stolen and which is subsequently found in the possession of an unauthorized person will be confiscated and the illegal holder will be subject to prosecution.

 

 

(k) All damage or loss claimed to be the responsibility of Landlord must be reported, itemized in writing and delivered to the management office located within the Project within ten (10) business days after any claimed damage or loss occurs. Any claim not so made is waived. Landlord is not responsible for damage by water or fire, or for the acts or omissions of others, or for articles left in vehicles. In any event, the total liability of Landlord, if any, is limited to Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) for all damages or loss to any car. Landlord is not responsible for loss of use.

 

 

(l) The parking operators, managers or attendants are not authorized to make or allow any exceptions to these rules and regulations, without the express written consent of Landlord. Any exceptions to these rules and regulations made by the parking operators, managers or attendants without the express written consent of Landlord will not be deemed to have been approved by Landlord.

 

 

(m) Landlord reserves the right, without cost or liability to Landlord, to tow any vehicles which are used or parked in violation of these rules and regulations.

 

43


 

 

 

 

(n) Landlord reserves the right from time to time to modify and/or adopt such other reasonable and non-discriminatory rules and regulations for the parking facilities as it deems reasonably necessary for the operation of the parking facilities.

OPTION(S) TO RENEW

 

1. Option(s) to Renew. Tenant shall have the right, to be exercised as hereinafter provided, to extend the term of this Lease ("Renewal Option") for up to one (1) period(s) of sixty (60) months (the "Renewal Term") upon the following terms and conditions and subject to the limitations set forth below.

 

2. No Event of Default. At the respective times hereinafter set forth for the exercise of each Renewal Option and at the time of the commencement of each Renewal Term, as a condition to Tenant's exercise of the applicable Renewal Option, this Lease shall be in full force and effect and there shall be no uncured Default under this Lease, but Landlord shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to waive any such condition regarding a Default.

 

3. Fair Market Rent.

 

a. The Leased Premises shall be leased to Tenant on an "as is" basis on the same terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, except that the Basic Rent for the Leased Premises for the first year of the Renewal Term shall be adjusted to be the greater of the Basic Rent for in effect on the last day of the expiring term or. the fair market rent as reasonably determined herein. Basic Rent for the Renewal Term shall increase by three percent (3%) on each anniversary of the commencement of the applicable Renewal Term.

 

b. The term "fair market rent" shall mean, with respect to the Leased Premises, rent for premises comparable in size, quality and location and comparably fitted up, and for a term comparable to the term such space would be leased to Tenant during such Renewal Term.

 

c. Landlord and Tenant shall begin to negotiate the fair market rent for the Renewal Term one (1) year prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term. If the Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon a rate within thirty (30) days thereafter (the "Renewal Rent Determination Period"), then Tenant may elect one of the following two options: (i) not to exercise the Renewal Option; or (ii) exercise the Renewal Option and refer the matter to resolution by arbitration according to the process described in subsection (d) below. If Tenant fails to elect one of the two options above in writing by the 5:00 p.m. on the last date of the Renewal Rent Determination Period, Tenant shall be conclusively determined to have elected not to exercise the Renewal Option.

 

d. In the event the Tenant elects option (ii) pursuant to subsection (c) above, then within five (5) days of the end of the Renewal Rent Determination Period, each party shall deliver to the other party a notice specifying the name, address, and professional qualifications of the person designated to act as arbitrator on its behalf. The two (2) arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator no later than ten (10) days after the Renewal Rent Determination Period. If the party receiving a request for arbitration fails to appoint its arbitrator within the time above specified, or if the two (2) arbitrators so selected cannot agree on the selection of the third arbitrator within the time above specified, then either party, on behalf of both parties, may request such appointment of such second or third arbitrator, as the case may be, by application to any Judge of the District Court of the County of Alameda, State of California. The decision of the arbitrators so chosen shall be given within a period of fifteen (15) days after the appointment of such third arbitrator. No discovery shall be permitted in the arbitration except that all parties shall make available to the arbitrators such information as may be reasonably requested by such arbitrators. Acting independently of each other and without consultation with each other, each of said three arbitrators, within fifteen (15) days after appointment of the third arbitrator, and his or her acceptance of such appointment, shall make their appraisal and submit to Landlord and Tenant a written report and appraisal setting forth the appraiser's opinion as to the fair market rent of the Leased Premises. The two appraisals of all of the appraisals reported by the three appraisers that are closest in amount shall be averaged (or if the appraisal is less than one of the other appraisals and more than the other appraisal by the same amount, all three appraisals shall be averaged).Such averaged amount shall be the fair market rent. All arbitrators appointed by or on behalf of either party or appointed by the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of Alameda County shall be in all respects impartial and disinterested.

 

e. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the arbitrator appointed by or on behalf of such party and the fees and expenses of the third arbitrator shall be borne equally by both parties. Landlord and Tenant shall then execute an amendment recognizing the fair market rent for the Renewal Term.

51


 

 

f. All arbitrators appointed by or on behalf of either party or appointed pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be real estate appraisers or brokers with not less than three (3) years of experience in the appraisal of improved commercial real estate in or around Fremont, Ca1ifornia. Landlord and Tenant may select as their arbitrators a current broker of record, provided such broker satisfies the experience requirement described in this paragraph. The third arbitrator must be in all respects impartial and disinterested.

 

4. Exercise of Options. Tenant shall exercise its right to extend the Term of this Lease for any Renewal Term set forth in this Schedule "P'', if at all, by notifying Landlord, in writing, of its election to exercise the right to renew and extend the term of this Lease not less than twelve (12) months and not more than fifteen (15) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term or applicable Renewal Term.
